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

Chapter 296 I hit your hand!

"No, don't~"

"I don't want to die yet~"

Inside the dojo of the Shinazugawa mansion, Shinazugawa Sanemi stood there dumbfounded, holding his wooden sword.

Before me was Zenitsu, who was rolling on the ground with his arms wrapped around his back, making mournful noises as if he had been bullied.

Sanemi Shinazugawa stared in disbelief. His previously ferocious face now looked unusually innocent and naive. He looked up at everyone with a bewildered expression, his hands unconsciously outstretched as if he were saying something.

'I just lightly touched this guy, I didn't do anything.'

He looked just like a young person who had made a relative's child cry, afraid of getting into trouble.

Yuko and the others simply looked at them expressionlessly, offering no comment.

I internally complained about it for quite a while.

"It hurts~"

Zenitsu's screams continued, giving Sanemi Shinazugawa a headache.

He really wanted to say, "Weren't you quite principled the other day?"

He clearly liked her quite a bit.

No matter how hard you fight, you can always get back up. How come you suddenly became more cowardly than anyone else?

What's going on with this look?

The onlookers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"How is this going?"

"Is this still the same person? The difference is too great!"

"Lord Shinazugawa didn't seem to use much force just now, did he?"

"Could they have used underhanded tactics?"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, veins bulged on Shinazugawa Sanemi's forehead, and his expression became increasingly tense.

"Shut up!" Shinazugawa Sanemi snapped irritably.

Zenitsu froze, abruptly stopped screaming, and clutched his leg, yelling, "My leg is broken, I need to rest."

The veins on Shinazugawa Sanemi's forehead bulged even more, making his expression contort: ​​"I just hit your hand."

Zenitsu then realized that he had accidentally hugged the wrong person while pretending to be someone else.

Just as he was about to change his movements, he heard Yuko calmly say, "Zenitsu, is this how you train?"

Yuko's tone was very calm, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction in her voice.

But Zenitsu felt a tightness in his chest and a great deal of discomfort when he heard this.

Zenitsu's expression changed, and he subconsciously stood up, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I..."

Yu Zi said softly, "Since you want to be lazy, that's not impossible."

"Huh?" Zenitsu was taken aback.

Yu Zi calmly said, "It's not impossible to only train resistance to blows and evasion. That would make things a little easier."

Zenitsu felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "No, no, no, it's not necessary."

Yuko tilted her head: "Really? I hope it won't be too difficult for you?"

"Not at all!" Zenitsu shook his head repeatedly.

Yu Zi nodded to herself: "That's good. If you want to slack off, remember to let me know. If you don't even want to dodge, I can tie you up for pure resistance training."

Zenitsu's legs went weak, and he said, on the verge of tears, "No need, I think it's fine as it is."

How scary, how scary.

Shinazugawa Sanemi's lips twitched. This woman really knew how to pretend.

"Then you can continue." Yu Zi nodded and left the crowd.

Butterfly, unable to suppress her laughter, said, "Yuko has gone too far. Look how scared Zenitsu is."

Yu Zi rolled her eyes: "That guy is just too shameless."

"They won't move unless you put some pressure on them."

"Yesterday he was all compassionate and sympathetic, but now he's back to his old self."

As she spoke, Yuko's tone became somewhat resentful.

Shinobu Kocho chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, does Ikuko know that Mr. Shinazugawa has already apologized to Nezuko?"

Yuko turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shinobu Kocho smirked: "Mr. Shinazugawa hasn't apologized to Ikuko for the conflict at the Pillar Meeting, has he?"

Yuko raised her eyelids slightly: "That's not exactly a contradiction, is it?"

"It was just a small argument, it's normal."

"Is that so?" Shinobu Kocho gave her a strange look. "It's not surprising that Ikuko would think that way~"

After all, Yuko is so kind.

“Well, I’ve already beaten him up before anyway,” Yuko replied calmly. “Besides, the special training for the markings is about to begin, so I can beat him up again.”

“I don’t really care whether he apologizes or not.” Yuko met Shinobu’s gaze. “After all, I’m a pretty easygoing person.”

Shinobu Kocho: “…”

So that's where you were waiting.

She's being superficial.

Butterfly silently prayed for Mr. Shinazugawa for a second.

Well, for the sake of my sister.

Shinobu Kocho steered the conversation toward others: "The swordsmen have all passed the trials, and they should be close to their limits."

Although the special training includes special training missions for each Pillar, not every swordsman has the strength to pass the special training of all the Pillars.

Many people don't have the same outstanding talent as Tanjiro and his friends, and therefore can't achieve that level.

Most of them can only be trained by a few, or even just one, pillars.

Those who can complete all the Pillars' training are all elites among elites; even if they don't have the strength of a Pillar, they are almost there.

Many swordsmen have stagnated after a period of intensive training.

Because they have reached their limit.

Expecting everyone to complete the game is pure wishful thinking.

In that case, Muzan would not only be facing ten Pillars, but hundreds of Pillars.

That's probably going to give him a real headache.

Yu Zi gently shook her head: "It's okay, I have time."

It mainly depends on what other people arrange.

Shinobu Kocho asked, "How about we try contacting other people tonight?"

"can."

"Then I'll go contact the others now." With that, Shinobu Kocho summoned Kasugai Crow to deliver the message to the other Pillars.

Being able to unlock the markings earlier is a comprehensive boost to combat power.

She herself is the best proof; after activating her markings, her combat power increased exponentially.

Others will only make more progress than her.

Kasugai Crow's communication speed was very fast, and since the other Pillars' training grounds were not too far from the Demon Slayer Corps' base, Kasugai Crow had already delivered all the messages in just a few hours.

"Apart from Mr. Himejima, everyone else can come," Shinobu Kocho told Ikuko.

“Uzui and…” Yuko subconsciously replied halfway, swallowing the words back down her throat.

Well, it just so happens that she also wants to test her limits.

Shinobu Kocho ignored her words and said with a smile, "Then I'll go and prepare a late-night snack for my sister."

With so many people training together, they're bound to go hungry.

“Okay.” Yuko nodded slightly. “Then I’ll go tell Tanjiro and the others.”

She also had to tell the others about the training to open the Transparent Realm.

Although she already knew what others would say.
