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

Chapter 736 My dad is so pitiful!

Hearing Yuuko's analysis, Rukia also rested her chin on her fingers, looking thoughtful: "Indeed, if the goal is simply to connect Hueco Mundo and the human world, then all we need to do is absorb more living people, right?"

"Why go through all that trouble and risk entering Hueco Mundo?"

"Is that how it is?" Yoruichi asked, her eyes narrowed. "That bastard definitely knows what's going on."

Could it be that Kisuke is stammering because of this?

Is there something troubling you?

"Regardless of whether that idiot knows or not, how long are you going to keep hanging over my head?" Yu Zi drooped her eyelids. "It's so inconvenient for me to even look down while eating."

Yoruichi jumped off her head and landed on the table, turning her head to look at her: "What would happen if I spat into your bowl?"

Yu Zi coldly replied, "It will turn into a cat pancake."

"Is that so?" Yoruichi looked up at her, then quickly licked a mouthful of Yuuko's miso soup.

Yuko instinctively reached out to grab it, but Yoruichi dodged her and leaped from the dining table down the wall to the living room sofa.

A vein bulged on Yu Zi's forehead. "I spat."

Yoruichi sprawled out on the sofa, looking quite relaxed: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Yuko, her face dark, moved the miso soup aside.

Ichigo felt somewhat ashamed upon seeing this scene.

Come to think of it, it seems that only Yoruichi has ever acted recklessly in front of her aunt without ever getting a beating. Even when she did something that could send her to hell and be torn to pieces, her aunt only gave her a few words of criticism.

crunch~

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from Yuko's room door. The group instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see a black tail disappearing into the doorway.

Come in, come into the room!

Ichigo was shocked and secretly glanced at Yuuko's face, only to find that she wasn't angry.

Yuko suddenly stood up, startling Ichigo, who trembled and awkwardly moved closer to Rukia.

Rukia frowned: "Idiot, what are you doing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ichigo nervously covered her mouth.

Ichigo whispered, "We're doomed! Yoruichi!"

"..."

The auntie was clearly giving birth...

Yuko turned and went back to the kitchen.

Rukia turned to look at him, speechless.

Ichigo looked bewildered: "...Huh?"

When did Auntie become so good-natured? She didn't even kill him?

crunch~

As the door was pushed open, Yoruichi stepped out, dressed in Yuuko's casual clothes.

"Hey, Yuko, why does your room smell like other women?"

"Do you think my place is spacious enough?" Just then, Yu Zi came out carrying a set of bowls and chopsticks.

"Thanks~"

Yoruichi snatched the bowl and chopsticks from her hands and sat down next to Ikuko without any hesitation.

Only Yoshino wore a shocked expression.

"The cat...the cat turned into a person?"

And it was a woman?

Judging from his voice, he should be a middle-aged man.

Yoruichi grinned: "My Yuko is being taken care of by you."

Yu Zi tapped her hand with her chopsticks: "Don't act crazy."

Yoruichi wasn't angry. She picked up her chopsticks and looked at the table full of delicious food: "I have to say, you guys really have no experience."

"experience?"

Before Rukia and Yoshino could react, Ichigo was the first to realize the danger and knew something was wrong.

really……

"You're eating Yuko's cooking and you still have the nerve to gossip?" Yoruichi picked up her chopsticks and deftly swept across the almost untouched food on the table.

Rukia blurted out, "Because I live with the teacher, I can eat here every day."

Naturally, there's no need to fight over anything.

Miss Yoruichi looks like she's never had a good meal before. What a pity, otherwise she would have taken fewer bites.

Yoruichi froze for a moment, then turned her head with a wistful expression: "Hey, Yuuko..."

"No."

"...I haven't even said anything yet."

“You haven’t finished speaking, but I’ve already listened.”

"Tsk."

Ichigo picked up a piece of fish and exclaimed, "It's such a waste that Auntie is not a chef; her cooking is much better than my mom's."

Yuko said casually, "Really? Then I'll tell Masaki later, so you can come to my house for meals every day."

Ichigo retorted, "Saving someone's meal is such an offensive term! So, how are you going to say it?"

"Of course, you should tell her that Ichigo thinks your cooking is terrible..."

"Please spare me." Before Yuko could finish speaking, Ichigo raised his hands in surrender. "But speaking of which, why didn't Auntie become a chef back then, but instead became a teacher?"

Yuko tilted her head, slightly confused: "Don't you already know?"

"Huh?" Ichigo stuffed the fish slice into his mouth, completely bewildered.

What does he know? I don't think Auntie told him anything, right?

"Of course, it's to torture you."

“…Cough cough cough.” Ichigo coughed violently for a while, then quickly grabbed the miso soup on the table and gulped it down. It took him a while to recover before he looked at Yuuko with a resentful expression. “Are you a demon? How could you say that so casually?”

"I just thought it was funny, since I can't be a doctor anyway."

In fact, the only reason I became a teacher was to keep an eye on Ichigo, and as it turns out, Yuuko's guess was correct.

Possessing the powers of a Quincy, a Hollow, and a Shinigami—isn't this the quintessential protagonist character?

Although he's not very bright, he's handsome and tall, so he still has some redeeming qualities.

Even if it weren't for those reasons, keeping an eye on Masaki wouldn't be a difficult task.

After all, even she would feel bored if she didn't have any friends around her.

"Can't be a doctor?"

Apart from Yoruichi, everyone else was completely confused by Ikuko's words.

Ichigo asked, "Why can't I become a doctor?"

Yuko looked up: "Don't you know?"

Ichigo: "...Should I know?"

To be honest, I have a bad feeling, a bad feeling that I should have known better than to ask.

“That’s right, I can’t possibly tell you something so embarrassing.” Yu Zi nodded to herself, then said, “I don’t know if your parents have told you that I met them by chance and that I passed the medical licensing exam with your father.”

"I came here to settle down because they invited me."

"Of course, you guessed the result."

Although he was surprised that his parents knew his aunt in this way, Ichigo shook his head.

No, I can't guess.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Yuko said matter-of-factly. “There are two clinics on one street, and one of them is run by a beautiful and highly skilled female doctor. Although Masaki is also very pretty, she was a college student when she was living with your father and had to attend to her studies, so she could only help out in her spare time.”

"Which do you think patients would prefer to go to: a clinic run by a grumpy old man or a beautiful young woman?"

"You were fine after you were born, but after Youzi and Xiali got pregnant, your good-for-nothing father could no longer hold on."

"So they came to ask me to change careers."

Yoruichi silently added, "That's enough, Yuuko. This is too cruel to a child."

"Haven't we already said everything? What's enough?! Are you two drama queens?" Ichigo couldn't help but complain, his eyes twitching.

Fangye's face twitched, thinking to herself, "When she's playing pranks, her personality can only be described as awful."

During this time, she had basically figured out Yuko's personality.

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a penchant for teasing acquaintances.

Rukia shrugged, and just when Ichigo thought she was secretly gloating, Rukia looked up and said, "You're so pitiful, Ichigo. I actually have some savings of my own."

As she spoke, she pulled out a currency she didn't recognize from her pocket.

"what is that?"

Yuko: "Money from the dead."

Rukia: "Rings, the currency used exclusively in Soul Society."

"No way!"

After a brief commotion, Ichigo rubbed his forehead and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of this."

"Of course, it's a very embarrassing thing after all."

The reason Masaki and Isshin didn't tell Ichigo was because of their special identities.

Ichigo's eye was still twitching: "Then I really thank you."

Yuko accepted it without hesitation: "You really should thank me."

Ichigo was utterly defeated.

Yoruichi silently put down her chopsticks and bowl: "Let's continue our previous topic."

"Are you referring to the matter of someone begging me to change my profession by kneeling in meditation?"

Ichigo was on the verge of a breakdown: "Why is he doing a dogeza again?! Poor Dad, is he going to have to lick my shoes later?"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes: "I meant Bount's real purpose."

This guy is never going to stop.

Rukia's gaze couldn't help but fall on Yoruichi. Impressive! She had already eaten her fill while they were chatting.

Yoruichi said seriously, "Now that you've mentioned it, I have an idea."

“You said…” she said, turning around and looking at Yuuko with a serious expression: “Could their true purpose be Soul Society?”

Upon hearing this, Fangye looked shocked: "What do you mean?"

Yuko paused for a moment: "You mean, like Ichigo and the others before, Bount's purpose was to transform his body into spirit particles to enter Soul Society?"

Lillian, who had been silently gnawing on a bone, looked up in shock: "Masaka?"

Ichigo asked in surprise, "What's the reason?"

Yuko asked uncertainly, "Because even the Grim Reapers don't like them? Just like the Quincy?"

Yoruichi frowned deeply: "I don't know. I only know secondhand about the Bount incident. Kisuke, that bastard, probably knows more about it."

Yu Zi chuckled: "This is a negative example of not studying hard. When it really matters, you don't even know who 'Bavent' is."

Ye Yi's face twitched, and he smiled slightly: "You do have a Bount here, but you should at least know who that is."

Yoshino said somewhat embarrassedly, "Although I am a Bount, I have lived alone for a long time, wandering in the human world."

“When I was with God, I didn’t have a deep understanding of the origins of the Bavent.”

"I remember you saying that, right?" Yu Zi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The Bounts are a race that suddenly mutated? They were originally human?"

"Yes, and the Bounts are unable to reproduce, so it's always been us from the beginning."

Yoruichi roughly understood Ikuko's thoughts: "You don't mean to say that the appearance of the Bount is related to Soul Society, do you?"

"No, I just wonder if Bount has some connection to Soul Society?"

"This is really a headache." Yoruichi scratched her head. "That bastard isn't saying anything. Should we just grab him and beat him up?"

"Can I be beaten up without asking?"

"what?"

Yu Zi said calmly, "I do want to beat him up, but I don't think he'll say anything he doesn't want to say."

"Right."

Don't let that jerk's frivolous appearance fool you; he's actually more composed than anyone else at heart.

Rukia frowned: "So, at this point, we can only speculate about their motives?"

Ichigo said, "But even if they want to use Ishida's power, Ishida has already lost his Quincy power."

“No, you’ve got it wrong,” Yuko corrected. “It’s not a loss, it’s a temporary loss.”

"what?"

"Then why, Auntie..."

Yuko retorted, "Do you think I'm omnipotent? If you let me eat a Quincy, I might try to see if I can master their abilities."

Ikuko has always been concerned about the Quincy's methods of controlling the bloodline of spirit particles. The Quincy ancestor who almost took Masaki's life a few years ago might actually be the so-called final boss.

Back then, she had only just begun to master Bankai, and she was attempting to reverse time, which was partly due to negligence, and she made hasty contact with that guy.

But the consumption of spiritual pressure cannot be faked.

Masaki almost died, even if she only survived but lost her abilities.

Ichigo trembled all over: "What the hell is that?! That's terrifying!"

Yoshino broke out in a cold sweat. It must have been a joke, right? Even Shinigami wouldn't eat Quincy, would they?

"You guys are giving me a real headache." Yoruichi rubbed her temples. "Whether I say it or not, the possibility is not low."

"I'll have Soi Fon inquire about Bount in Soul Society."

"In any case, you should be careful with Ishida's side."

Yoruichi stood up, seemingly preparing to leave.

Yuko rested her arm on the back of the chair. "Do you think they're colluding with Aizen?"

"...I think it's unlikely. Aizen has already obtained the Hogyoku, so there's no need to create any more trouble."

Yuko glanced sideways: "Is that so? If you just want to temporarily divert the Soul Society's attention?"

"Then Kisuke will have no reason to hide the matter of Bavent."

"What if he's the mole?"

"Hmm, that's more likely. I'll talk to him after I get back and deal with him."

Everyone: You guys just want to teach people a lesson, right?!

After Yoruichi left after having freeloaded dinner, Ichigo covered his forehead with a headache, saying, "I just don't understand anymore."

Yu Zi said calmly, "About your father?"

"No, that's not it!" Ichigo couldn't hold back any longer. "I was talking about Bount!"

"What on earth are those guys trying to do?!"

After speaking, he noticed Fangye's presence again and quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

Yoshino shook her head: "No, I also want to stop God."

"He was only doing it for his own selfish desires, wanting to create his own world."

“This is great. Aizen isn’t the only one who wants to become a god,” Yuko muttered. “Why don’t we bring Aizen out for a spin and let him fight that guy first?”
