Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 271 The World is Full of Wonders

After much persuasion, Yuko finally managed to get rid of the enthusiastic, talkative owl and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shinobu Kocho suppressed a laugh and said, "It seems Ikuko isn't quite able to handle Mr. Rengoku~"

“Yes.” Yu Zi sighed again, “They’re being too enthusiastic; I’m finding it a bit overwhelming.”

He speaks in a very casual and uninhibited manner, never giving anyone the impression of being unwilling to refuse.

But because of his frank and straightforward personality, it's impossible to dislike him.

To be honest, communicating with them is a bit of a headache.

Yuko rubbed her temples with a frustrated expression: "Speaking of which, the appearance of Kyojuro's clan has not changed from the Warring States period to the present. They all look exactly the same generation after generation. If they didn't appear together, I would almost think they were all one person."

Shinobu Kocho looked surprised: "Is that so? Mr. Rengoku does look very much like his father, Mr. Makijuro."

"And Mr. Rengoku's younger brother, Senjuro, that boy is one too."

"No, they don't just look alike, they're exactly the same." Yu Zi couldn't help but complain. At least she really couldn't tell the difference between them except for their different personalities.

Shinobu Kocho twitched the corners of her mouth and chuckled to herself: "Well, the world is full of wonders, and there are always a couple of strange things that happen."

"makes sense."

Yuko didn't mean to dwell on it; she just couldn't help thinking that way when she saw Kyojuro.

She still held the Purgatory Clan in high regard.

The Rengoku clan, as a long-established family of the Demon Slayer Corps, has almost always inherited the Flame Pillar title. It's not that they monopolize the ownership of Flame Breathing, but rather that they are a clan that holds positions without doing any work.

Rather, this race may have a natural affinity for the Breath of Flame due to genetic compatibility.

For hundreds of years, they have been at the forefront of slaying demons, fighting on and on; they are a respectable race.

Thinking of Kyojuro's inquiry about Tanjiro, Yuko looked up at the clear blue sky and said, "I hope things go well for Tanjiro."

Shinobu Kocho was silent for a moment, then said, "That old gentleman from Kuwajima is unlikely to be persuaded so easily."

She didn't think it would go smoothly.

“A swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, especially a Pillar, couldn’t possibly lack this much awareness.”

Even with Zenitsu's request.

She wasn't sure what Zenitsu's relationship with that old man from Kuwajima was like, but Zenitsu, despite his carefree and irresponsible attitude, was essentially a good person, so the two should have a good relationship.

However, there are some things that cannot be completely obeyed simply because you have a good relationship.

Yuko lowered her eyelids, not caring about Shinobu's somewhat cruel words.

A change of mindset cannot be achieved overnight.

This is a problem of the times, not a problem of individual character.

Shinobu Kocho is still a kind and gentle... well, a good person who occasionally loses her temper.

If it weren't for the good education she received in her previous life that shaped her relatively sound values, she would most likely have the same thoughts as Ren.

She has never approved of the collective punishment system of the Demon Slayer Corps, and it has been like this since the Warring States period.

Why is it that if Yan Sheng becomes a demon, he must commit suicide by drowning himself?

If a student you taught becomes a ghost, the master must commit seppuku to atone for his sins.

It's not normal.

There's a saying that goes like this: the premise of not extending guilt to family members is that the benefits extended to family members should not be extended to family members.

She didn't think these disciples could bring much benefit to their teacher.

However, if we take it seriously, these swordsmen who can use breathing techniques, when they turn into demons, would be far more powerful than ordinary demons, and would pose a greater threat.

Yuko did not approve of this system of collective punishment, but she had no reason to question it.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki informed himself before notifying Zenitsu and Mr. Kuwashima.

Is it because Zenitsu was close to her, and her identity was rather special?

Just like Tanjiro.

Or perhaps he also wants to change this system, and wants to make changes.

In any case, the message has been delivered, and there's plenty of time; the rest is up to Zenitsu.

"Amitabha."

Just as Yuuko and Shinobu were worrying about Zenitsu, the deep voice of Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, came from not far away.

The two glanced to the side and saw Himejima Gyoumei walking towards them from a distance, his muscular body and 2.2-meter height exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

He is someone that Yuko needs to look up to.

Even if you include the corner, she can't compare.

Shinobu Kocho greets him respectfully: "Mr. Himejima."

Himejima Gyomei was the benefactor who saved her and her sister from the clutches of evil spirits.

"Amitabha." Beimingjima Gyomei responded by chanting the Buddha's name, then asked with a puzzled look, "You two just mentioned Mr. Kuwajima, has something happened?"

Can you hear it from that distance?

Yuko was somewhat surprised. She hadn't deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke to Shinobu, but given where Himejima Gyomei had been, it should have been difficult for an average person to hear clearly.

Yuko subconsciously looked at his lifeless white eyes.

She recalled an interesting saying that blind people often have more sensitive ears and better hearing than sighted people.

"It's not a big deal."

"He's a disciple of the former Ringing Pillar, Mr. Kuwashima, and his name seems to be..."

Yuko and Shinobu's voices rang out together, but they gave completely different answers.

Butterfly stopped halfway through her reading and subconsciously looked at Yuko.

Yu Zi said with a hint of amusement, "Just say it if you want to. It's not something that needs to be kept secret."

She just felt that this matter had nothing to do with Himejima Gyomei, so there was no need to bring it up and cause trouble for others.

However, Shinobu probably spoke out of trust in Himejima Gyomei.

Shinobu Kocho nodded, then looked at Ikuko with some uncertainty and said, "It seems to be called... Kaigaku?"

“Mm.” Yuko nodded in agreement.

Ok?

Yu Zi clearly sensed that the burly man in front of her seemed to have a moment of disorientation.

After a moment of silence, Himejima Gyomei asked, "Kaigaku, what happened to him?"

Shinobu Kocho continued, "That guy defected to Muzan and became a demon."

His tone was filled with anger towards this man named Kaigaku.

Shinobu Kocho is not good at hiding her emotions. Despite her usual smiling and friendly demeanor, she is practically a carbon copy of her older sister, Kanae.

Well, body shape aside.

But in reality, she can be even more unreasonable when she gets angry, and given her strong sense of justice and hatred for evil, her anger towards traitors is understandable.

Beimingyu Xingming opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only closed his eyes, two tears streaming down his face, turning into a single sound.

"Amitabha."

Now, not only Yuko noticed that something was wrong with him, but even Shinobu Kocho realized it.

"Mr. Beiming Island?"

I always feel like something is weird.

Gyomei Himejima always had this compassionate look on his face, but Shinobu Kocho just felt that something was off.
