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

Chapter 750 The Final Glory

"Protection?" Fangye repeated twice, her eyes somewhat confused, then smiled and shook her head. "No need, Yuko. You've already done enough for me."

Compared to the fear she felt when she first met Yuko, she is now grateful that she met Yuko.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know how I could have stopped Kariya.

"Don't worry, it will be quick."

"soon?"

Seeing the confused look on Yoshino's face, Yuko raised her arm, held it to Yoshino's mouth, and smiled slightly.

"The finest human flesh, want a bite?"

Fangye's eyelids twitched: "Really?"

Even she thought it was outrageous.

"Of course it's a joke."

Yoshino looked speechless. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuko continued.

"It still hurts a lot to tear off the flesh, so please bite gently."

It'll still bite, won't it?!

“Blood, I mean blood.” Noticing Yoshino’s terrified expression, Yuko rolled her eyes and explained, “Yoshino, don’t you know your own strength?”

"..."

Talking about this is a bit hurtful.

Yuko raised her hand: "If Yoshino wants to stop them with his own power, having my blood to help will make things much better."

"Yoshino is a vampire, she should have experience, right?"

"But……"

“If Yoshino feels embarrassed, I can put the blood in the cup,” Yuko said, picking up a teacup from the coffee table.

Fangye felt that she was being somewhat insulting. "No, I used to bite her neck all the time."

"Neck?" Yuko paused for a moment, then looked at Yoshino cautiously, feigning an air of lewdness, "You're so annoying, Yoshino, you're really perverted."

"..."

That's enough, let's not cause trouble at a time like this!

Yoshino glared at Yuko, grabbed her arm, and bit her.

After taking a bite, Yoshino regretted it a little, but this thought only lasted until Ikuko's blood entered her mouth.

Strawberry flavor? No, that's not right.

This is!

"Well……!"

Fangye's pupils suddenly dilated, and an indescribable power surged from within her body, causing her breathing to become somewhat disordered and agitated.

Yu Zi suppressed her agitation and withdrew her arm at the opportune moment. The hole left on her arm had disappeared. She said, "The most important thing about this blood is not to give you strength, but to keep you out of danger."

Fangye wiped her mouth and looked at Yuko's fair and flawless arm with a complicated expression: "You mean this kind of recovery ability?"

It's much faster than the speed at which Bount repairs his body with spiritual particles; at least Bount can't achieve something like rebirth from a drop of blood.

Moreover, this feeling of being filled with energy...

It's unbelievable.

“You can think of it this way,” Yuko said, looking earnestly into her eyes, “It will help you when you don’t want to die.”

"But if you want to rest, it won't stop you."

rest……

A smile appeared on Yoshino's lips: "Yuko is really kind, even though we've only known each other for a short time."

Yu Zi shook her head and said calmly, "Sometimes it doesn't take long to see through a person."

“...You’re right. I just feel that if the history of the Bount is destined to end here, then at least I should be the one to put that end on it. God, he’s gone too far.”

Yoshino closed her eyes slightly, as if she were recalling the past.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, a hint of apology in her voice: "I'm sorry, I can't respond right away, and I don't know what I'm thinking."

Yuko didn't mind: "It's okay, when the time comes, you'll make your own decision naturally."

Seeing that Yoshino wasn't in a good mood, Yuko decided not to continue talking to her: "Yoshino, get some rest."

"Yeah, Yuko, you too."

Fangye nodded slightly, got up and went back to her room.

Hopefully, these two won't make any noise tonight.

……

midnight.

Yuko stood on the balcony, wearing a coat. The moonlight shone on her wine-red hair, reflecting a bewitching glow.

"Come out, big black cat," she said calmly without turning around.

Yoruichi leaped out of the shadows, transformed back into human form, and leaned against the railing. The lingering scent of evening alcohol still clung to her.

"So your blood has this effect? ​​Won't it turn you into a monster that only knows how to eat human flesh?" Yoru glanced at Yoshino's room.

Yu Zi was silent for a moment before speaking: "Before you say that, could you please put your clothes on?"

This guy……

He's leaning against the balcony completely naked right now!

Yoruichi looked down at herself and shrugged: "What does it matter? There's no one else here anyway."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Zi casually threw the coat she was wearing onto her head.

"Well……"

"If you have this kind of fetish, don't do it on my balcony. I'm afraid the neighbors will see you."

Yoruichi put on her coat and rolled her eyes at Ikuko: "What's the big deal?"

Yu Zi retorted irritably, "Making a fuss over nothing? Are you out of your mind?"

"Yes, yes, it's my problem."

Yu Zi was too lazy to pay attention to her. This girl's brain was already broken; she might really think she was a cat.

Yoruichi leaned against the balcony and nudged Yuuko with her elbow: "You still haven't answered what I just said."

Yu Zi was speechless: "Have you ever seen me eat human flesh?"

After a moment of silence, Yoruichi said calmly, "I think you just don't want to eat it, not that you don't like it."

"...I did not modify her body. I only shared some of my spiritual power with her through my blood. The rest of my blood remained in her body as a last resort."

Yoruichi asked curiously, "Are you that concerned about that woman?"

“It’s not that I care, it’s just that I understand her.” Yuko denied Yoruichi’s words, and then said, “But you, you probably didn’t just want to come over and chat with me in the middle of the night, did you?”

"What if it is?"

"If that's the case, you can play on the balcony by yourself. I'm going back to sleep." Yu Zi said expressionlessly, then lifted her elbow off the balcony railing and headed towards the living room.

Yoruichi quickly hooked her arm around Yuuko's neck from behind, saying, "You're really easy to tease~"

Yu Zi's temple throbbed: "Idiot, at least put your clothes on properly first!"

That jacket... it was just a jacket, and this guy hadn't even buttoned it up properly; he'd just casually thrown it on.

Yoruichi's lips curled slightly as she withdrew her hand, buttoned up her coat, and muttered, "Soi Fon would be shy if she saw me like this."

"...What an evil woman."

So you knew about Kosho Aya's personality and were deliberately teasing her?

"Same to you~"

Yoruichi chuckled, her playful expression slowly fading as she turned serious: "Kisuke sent me. He said you seem to be hiding something, probably related to the Bount, and he sent me to find out."

Yu Zi couldn't help but complain, "Is he a tapeworm in my stomach? How can he even tell that?"

He said he was guessing.

Yu Zi sneered: "I don't care if he's guessing or if he's out of his mind. He's dreaming. When he has something to hide, he just pretends to be stupid."

Yoruichi nodded slightly, rubbing her chin: "That makes sense."

Yuko didn't want to say it at first, but considering that everyone should be on guard and not think that they could easily manipulate the other party just because there were many people here, she had no choice but to tell Yoruichi.

"Bavent's strength has increased."

Yoruichi was taken aback: "So sudden?"

It's only been one night, hasn't it?

Everything was fine last night, wasn't it?

They were completely outmatched by Ichigo Kurosaki in his Hollowfied state, and even their leader was almost unable to withstand the attack.

Yu Zizhang blurted out, "Actually, when I went to find them, I was tricked by them. They became stronger after drinking my blood."

Yoruichi's surprised expression instantly turned numb, her face expressionless: "I see, you did it on purpose."

Yu Zi shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. They're victims too."

“If they hadn’t attacked ordinary people, I would have helped them fight against Seireitei.”

Although the bavents' consumption of human souls is very different from the demons' consumption of human flesh, Yuko was still able to tell the difference from the bavents' aura.

In reality, only two people have actually consumed the souls of living people.

One is Kariyagami, the other is that guy who turned back to childhood, and the remaining bespectacled man and rough man haven't actually absorbed the souls of living people yet.

This can be seen from the level of power.

That old man is the second strongest being after Kariya.

The rough-looking man was also quite strong, but it was clear that he had become stronger through training.

As for the bespectacled man, whether he was afraid or cowardly, he never consumed the souls of living people.

If they hadn't chosen to follow in Kariya's footsteps, Ikuko really wouldn't have wanted to condemn them all.

“You really are terrifying…” Yoruichi’s lips twitched slightly, then she realized, “So that’s why you gave your power to that woman.”

Yuko was silent for a moment, then said, "Fangye's heart is too weak. She wants to save those compatriots, and she hopes they can turn back. But in this world, once you go astray on some paths, the only outcome is to be shattered to pieces."

"The strength I gave them was their final glory. After that, the name Bavette will disappear completely into the torrent of history."

Just as Yoshino herself said, the Bounts are a race that should not exist.

Ultimately, it all stems from the greed of death, and no one should pay the price for it.

"This approach is very much in your style," Yoruichi sighed. "It gives you hope while also setting your death date."

"Death sentence?" Yuko tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face. "You don't actually think Ichigo and the others can easily defeat them, do you?"

Yoruichi's expression stiffened, and she asked somewhat embarrassedly, "If I may ask, how much power did you give them?"

Yu Zi smiled brightly: "I'm incredibly weak right now."

"..."

Are you the devil?

Yoruichi sighed: "Is it really necessary?"

Yuko gazed at the distant lights. "Who knows?"

The two fell silent for a moment.

Yoruichi casually brought it up: "By the way, you just said you felt weak?"

Yu Zi paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at her warily: "What do you want?"

Yoruichi rubbed her chin: "Hmm~ I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge on you, you arrogant and conceited guy."

"Hehe, you're overthinking it. What I meant by 'hypocritical' is that compared to my prime, facing Sister Hana and the others in my current state would indeed be more difficult." Yuko said, giving Yoruichi a disdainful look as she looked her up and down. "But you..."

She deliberately left her sentence halfway through, but Yoruichi was already provoked to anger.

"It seems I was really underestimated."

Yuko spread her hands, completely disregarding Yoruichi, her sarcasm overflowing: "Your speed, which you're most proud of, isn't even worth mentioning in front of me. What else do you have? What else do you have that would make me look at you with any respect?"

Yoruichi gritted her teeth in anger. "Very well, Yuuko, I'll remember that."

Yoruichi glared at Yuuko, angrily threw her coat at her, and transformed into a black cat, leaping away.

After Yoruichi stormed off, Yuko yawned, stretched, and went back to the living room to rest.

It's definitely more fun to tease guys with backbone than Ichigo and the others, who cower at the slightest glare.

……

early morning.

"Ikuko~"

A loud, rough shout woke Yuko up.

With her hair all messy, Yu Zi opened the balcony window and looked down at the ground floor.

A certain idiot father, dressed in a white coat, was yelling at her.

Yu Zi asked coldly, "Do you want to die?"

Kurosaki Isshin waved his hands: "I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Huh? Ichigo's studies?"

"It's not something useless!"

"Six." Yu Zi casually beckoned, "Come on up."

She always kept the key to the glass door downstairs under the potted plant by the door, just so that people could easily come in.

Unfortunately, none of these people used the main entrance; they either went through underground tunnels or used the balcony.

Fortunately, Yixin didn't have the ability right now, so she took the key from under the potted plant and went upstairs.

Yuko tidied her hair, opened the door casually, poured herself a glass of water, and sat down in the living room.

The door creaked open, and Matsumoto Rangiku yawned, still half-asleep, as she walked out.

"morning."

Yuko paused for a moment, then said, "Good morning."

Is this guy still not awake? Or is he just a natural at making friends?

She had absolutely no contact with this wavy-haired Shinigami named Matsumoto Rangiku... Oh, no, there was contact, back at Sōkyōgaoka, she was almost knocked unconscious by her spiritual pressure.

But apart from that, they didn't have much interaction.

"A dazzling debut!"

A humanoid figure in a white coat appeared at the door, striking a pose that looked like it belonged to someone with intellectual disabilities.

Kurosaki Isshin raised his head, thinking he looked very cool: "How about this look? I plan to use it for my later outfit with Ichigo..."

He paused when he saw the two people in the living room.

Kurosaki Isshin paused for a moment, then looked closely at Matsumoto Rangiku, who was rubbing her blond hair and wearing a shihaka outfit.

"Ahhh!"

He screamed and backed away, tumbling and scrambling down the stairs.
