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

Chapter 422 Stop Spitting

Everyone's strength was almost completely depleted. If it weren't for the possibility that Muzan hadn't died, Kagaya Ubuyashiki might have arranged for them to go to the Butterfly Mansion to rest first.

They managed to hold on until Muzan was gone, but eventually, everyone could no longer hold on.

Even Rengoku Kyojuro and Kanroji Mitsuri, who are usually known for their enthusiasm and energy, seemed like wilted eggplants, having lost much of their drive.

Zenitsu complained, "I feel like I could sleep for days on end."

He felt weak all over and didn't want to move at all.

"Tanjiro~ please~ carry me back~" He clung to Tanjiro, pleading desperately.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "It seems the banquet will have to be postponed for a while."

"Eh!! A banquet?!" Kanroji Mitsuri drooled.

Yu Zi's lips twitched. This child, as soon as food is mentioned, immediately comes back to life.

Such talent is truly enviable.

However... when it comes to food...

Yuko's complexion was not very good.

On the way back to the mansion, Shinobu Kocho came up to her.

"Yuko, shall we go back?"

Yuko looked at Tamayo's position and shook her head: "I need to talk to Tamayo about something. See you later."

Butterfly paused for a moment, then looked at Tamayo.

Because the burning took place under the sun, Tamayo and Yushiro simply stayed inside the house.

Upon seeing Ikuko and her group return, Tamayo couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Is it over?"

"ended."

Even though she knew Muzan was dead, Tamayo still felt a weight lifted off her shoulders when she truly confirmed that Muzan had 'disappeared' from this world.

"I never expected to witness Muzan's defeat firsthand..." Tamayo's expression was complicated. "Ikuko, I'm very grateful..."

"No need for thanks, Tamayo. If it weren't for your potion, we wouldn't have won so easily." Yuko waved her hand and changed the subject. "By the way, I'll take you back first."

Tamayo paused for a moment, then glanced at Shinobu Kocho instinctively before nodding silently.

"That would be troublesome."

Yushiro frowned: "If you're going to escort Lady Tamayo back, I'll do it alone..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhu Shichao shake his head slightly.

"Okay, I know. Come back soon~" The complicated expression in Shinobu's eyes vanished in an instant. She put her hands behind her back and smiled. "Aoi and Nezuko must be very worried about everyone."

"Mm." Yuko smiled as she saw her off.

Watching Shinobu walk away, Yushiro frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Lady Tamayo?"

Why deliberately send that woman away?

Tamayo didn't explain anything, she just said, "Miss Shinobu, you are such a gentle person."

"Stop chatting, Tamayo, quickly hide under the umbrella." Ikuko opened the large umbrella, enough to block out the sun. "Or do you want to try sunbathing?"

Tamayo glanced outside: "Sunbathing? I'd really like to experience that."

Now it was Yuko's turn to panic.

"Just kidding, I was just joking!"

Yuko really wanted to slap herself. Tamayo had finally given up the idea of ​​dying together with Muzan.

Now that Muzan is dead, what if she feels that there is no meaning in her life and commits suicide?

Wouldn't that make her a sinner?

Then Yushiro will regard her as an enemy, and in order to revive Tamayo, he will turn evil and become the villainous boss after Muzan.

You're overthinking it.

Yuko shook her head, clearing her mind of those chaotic emotions, and escorted the two back to their residence.

Upon arriving at their lodgings, Yuko appeared even more anxious than Tamayo, immediately burying her head in her hands and rushing into the house.

Yushiro's lips twitched: "What is that woman trying to do?"

"Yushiro, it's not gentlemanly at all to pry into a lady's embarrassment."

Yushiro: "..."

Tamayo smiled and said, "Alright, could you please go and brew a pot of tea?"

"I understand." Yushiro smiled helplessly.

They were just so hungry that they went and stole their stored food.

What's the big deal...?

"No matter how hard you try, you're just spitting out saliva." When they arrived at the bathroom, Tamayo looked at Ikuko, who was struggling to vomit into the sink, with a worried expression.

Is it really that disgusting?

Yu Zi turned around and glared at her, tears welling up in her eyes: "Isn't that obvious? Could you bring yourself to kiss someone looking like that?"

"Nothing much, right? Do you know how many demons crave Muzan's blood? Not to mention his flesh."

"If it were really in front of me, I doubt I could control myself." Although Tamayo said it in a joking tone, her face was full of worry.

She knew that this was not a valid reason.

Whether her posture is ugly or beautiful, it is not a reason for Yuko to be disgusting.

She was simply disgusted by the idea of ​​eating 'people'.

No matter how many times she watched it, Tamayo couldn't help but be deeply moved.

This is definitely not just the effect of the blue spider lily; it's the will of the self.

Nezuko also ate the blue spider lily, but if Tanjiro hadn't brought her back to her senses, it probably wouldn't have been too late.

Even after becoming a demon, and in that situation where there was a lamb to the slaughter in front of her, Yuko still managed to restrain her desires.

If my will had been just as strong back then... perhaps...

"Ugh~" Yuko's disheveled vomiting brought Tamayo back to her senses.

Tamayo broke out in a cold sweat: "Given your condition at the time, Muzan's flesh and blood would probably have been completely decomposed by you before it even entered your stomach."

"Okay, stop spitting."

With her back to Tamayo, Yuko paused for a moment, then turned around and said softly, "Tell me, if I burned myself to ashes, could I be reborn?"

"...Not that much."

Is this child's OCD really that severe?

No, these fair, bare feet are not convincing at all, are they?

Tamayo said helplessly, "I had Yushiro make some tea. Do you want to wash your stomach?"

"want!"

Yushiro brought in tea and was completely bewildered to see the two sitting calmly and dignifiedly.

There was no smell of blood either...

"Please help yourself." Yushiro looked at Yuko strangely and pushed the tea towards the two of them.

"Thank you." Yu Zi said thank you, picked up the cup and, abandoning her previous virtuous and dignified demeanor, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, then got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"Gurgle gurgle... Ptooey..."

Yushiro stared blankly into space, the veins on his forehead gradually becoming visible.

"Can we kill her, Lady Tamayo?"

Is this a sign of disdain? Is this a questioning... no, is this a denigration of his tea-brewing skills?

Tamayo lowered her head and gently rubbed her temples. How could Muzan still be so troublesome after they had already defeated him?
