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

Chapter 234 Why do you only look at me?

"No, don't fight!" Mitsuri Kanroji panicked a little. "Calm down..."

Kanae Butterfly chimed in, "Shinazugawa, calm down."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes, and after gritting his teeth, he finally gave up.

With his infectious voice, Rengoku Kyojuro called out loudly, "Tomioka! Come on over!"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka glanced back briefly, then left the mansion without pausing.

That's it, even the enthusiastic owl can't be called back.

Tanjiro hesitated, glancing at everyone and then at the direction where Giyu Tomioka had left, unsure of what to say.

Mr. Giyuu... has he always been like this?

Seeing his hesitant and uneasy look, Yuko simply said, "Tanjiro, go and bring Giyu back."

"Huh? Me?" Tanjiro's eyes widened slightly.

“You two can be considered fellow disciples, right?” Yu Zi tilted her head. “You’re the most suitable person to go.”

Kyojuro Rengoku grinned at him, revealing his large, white teeth: "Go for it! I'm rooting for you!"

"The Kitchen Boy!"

Uzui Tengen also chimed in, giving a thumbs-up: "Oh! A tough young man."

Kanroji Mitsuri clenched her fists at her chest: "Go for it!"

Tanjiro's lips twitched slightly. What exactly were these people here for?

……

Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka's departure did not delay the group's discussion; they could join in later once things were settled there.

Although Ubuyashiki was not involved, under the leadership of their elder brother, Gyomei Himejima, the group devised a series of training plans to help the team members improve their combat capabilities.

This includes, but is not limited to, improving Uzui Tengen's basic physical strength, Kanroji Mitsuri's Hellish Flexibility Training, Tokito Muichiro's High-Speed ​​Movement Training, and the Serpent Pillar's Sword Technique Correction, etc.

Basically, apart from Shinobu Kocho, who was in the logistics department, all the other Pillars could be assigned tasks.

From the perspective of a Pillar, this advantage can also be understood. Dealing with wave after wave of teammates, even if the Pillar is of significantly different strength, can improve his stamina through this series of battles.

However, given the skill level of the team members, expecting them to unleash the full power of the Pillars, thus raising their heart rate and body temperature to activate their Demon Slayer Marks, is somewhat unrealistic.

But in any case, this is a good thing for both sides.

After the team members finished training, during the most tiring time of the day, he would train with Yuko on how to activate the markings.

When faced with high-pressure danger while fatigued, it is easier to enter that state.

Those who have already developed the markings should try to train themselves to maintain this state at all times.

So far, among the swordsmen who have activated their markings, only Yuko has been able to keep the markings permanently on her body.

If you ask her how she trains...

Well, I'm sorry, she thinks it's probably a matter of talent.

Her talent is inferior compared to Yoriichi, and although it's a bit embarrassing, she's probably more talented than others.

After all, once she activated the freckles, they never disappeared from her face.

After the discussion, Yuko returned to the Butterfly Mansion with the Butterfly Sisters.

……

"What?! Group training?!"

As soon as they returned to the Butterfly House, the three of them heard a mournful wail that echoed throughout the ward.

Shinobu Kocho's temple throbbed with a vein: "That guy..."

Kanae Butterfly smiled and said, "You're so energetic~"

Yuko said helplessly, "Well, that's how it is."

"Does that mean there are some really strong guys who want to help us train?" Inosuke said in a deep voice. "That's amazing! I'm already full of energy!"

"Great my foot! It's absolutely terrible, it's practically hell!" Zenitsu said, clearly annoyed. "Who came up with this idea? They should just die!"

"Fighting against people of a higher level is a shortcut to becoming stronger," Tanjiro said excitedly. "Sparring with stronger people allows you to absorb a lot of experience and become even more powerful."

"If you're going to be so positive and uplifting, then our friendship ends here!" Zenitsu was furious.

Inosuke, being rather clueless, belatedly said, "So you're saying that? Then why don't we just go and fight Yuuko?"

Yuko paused, and the noise in the ward seemed to fall silent for a moment, before Zenitsu said in a desperate tone:

"No... that can't even be considered a battle, right?"

"It was just one-sided torture and killing."

"Well...that seems to be true." Tanjiro's weak voice rang out.

Yuko couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Had she been too rough?

She vaguely remembered that when she first got her hands on the sword, Yan Sheng beat her up like this, and often said things like he was wasting his time.

She never said any of those mood-damaging trashy things!

Shinobu Kocho pushed open the door and looked at the three of them expressionlessly: "Do you have any complaints about the Lord's arrangements?"

The three of them swallowed hard, too afraid to move, and nervously turned their heads away.

Zenitsu instantly broke down and yelled, "Why are you only looking at me?!"

Ikuko: "..."

Of course, it's because you're the most troublesome person.

Footsteps sounded outside.

"Brother, the flower tea is here." Nezuko appeared at the door with the tea in hand. Seeing everyone in the ward, she said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, I'll go get more right away."

Yuko shook her head: "No need, Nezuko, you should rest for a while."

Ever since this child turned back into a human, he has been helping out at the Butterfly Mansion, working as diligently as a slogan posted at the company entrance.

"Nezuko~" Zenitsu instantly revived and rushed over.

Ignoring Zenitsu's episode, Ikuko looked at Tanjiro with a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't Tanjiro go to find Giyu?"

Tanjiro scratched his head somewhat dejectedly: "Um... Giyu-san doesn't seem to want to communicate with me."

Kanae Kocho held up one finger and suggested, "How about we try being persistent and clingy?"

"Eh?"

Kanae Kocho smiled slightly: "Although this method definitely won't work for pursuing girls, it might work for an introverted boy like Mr. Tomioka."

Upon hearing this, the first to react was not Tanjiro, but Zenitsu, who was clinging to Nezuko.

"Persistently pestering?" This shouldn't be considered persistently pestering, right?

No, no, no, that's sexual harassment.

Tanjiro pondered for a moment, then decided it would work and clenched his fist to encourage himself.

"I understand! I will try my best!"

"We will definitely arrange for Mr. Tomioka to participate in special training!"

Seeing his enthusiasm, Yuko smiled slightly: "Let me give you a hint, Tanjiro."

"hint?"

“If you take Yiyong’s harsh words as irony, then you’ll know that he is speaking the truth.”

Tanjiro's beady eyes: "Is...this how it is?"

What does it mean?
