Demon Slayer: The Journey of Becoming Yoichi's Sister

Yunichi left.

After saying goodbye to the siblings.

The sudden news broke Yuko's original plan.

She originally thought that she would leave home with Yunichi when he was ten years old. The future of women in a large family in feudal society is obvious.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

On this day, when Yuko and Iwakatsu helped to sort out their mother's belongings, they found the diary written by their mother.

Yunichi knew that he would be chosen as the heir, so he left home early.

And he seemed to have known about Akeno's illness and death date. When his mother's left half of her body was out of control, he tried to support her body.

Iwakatsu held the diary tightly with both hands, wrinkling the paper and revealing the veins on the back of his hand.

He lowered his head as if he was having difficulty breathing, and his heart was full of resentment and jealousy.

"Please don't live in this world. It's better that people like you should not be born from the beginning."

I always thought that Yoriichi was a cowardly clingy person who only clung to his mother. It was not until this moment that Iwakatsu finally realized that he was not only weak in strength, but also in personal character.

Especially Yoriichi's departure, which was almost like charity, made him almost swallowed up by jealousy and shame.

Kneeling beside him, Yuko, who also saw the contents of the diary, also fell into self-blame, and did not notice Iwakatsu's increasingly twisted heart.

It's so embarrassing.

As an adult soul, she didn't realize that Akeno... her mother was seriously ill.

Even if she didn't see through the world, she shouldn't have been unaware of it with the knowledge of the surroundings as an adult.

She knew that her mother had always had a problem with physical weakness, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

It's so embarrassing.

...

In her last words to her father, the mother prayed that he would not separate them, treat the children equally, and hope that they could grow up healthily.

His father was a superstitious person. When Yunyi was two years old, he said to him, "You are an unblessed child," "You should not be born," "You are an unlucky child," and "You will bring disaster to the successor country."

Therefore, in order not to bring disaster to the family, Yunyi behaved very low-key, never talked to anyone, and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Only in front of his mother, brother and sister would he occasionally show a smile that a child should have.

But his father also loved his mother. After reading Akeno's last words, he seemed to understand the sins he had committed.

He sent people to look for Yunyi, and even sent people to the temple, but he could not get any news about Yunyi.

After searching for a while without results, his father finally gave up.

Iwakatsu, who heard the news, breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it was encountering bandits or being eaten by bears, as long as you disappeared, it would be fine.

Since then, everything in the successor country seemed to have returned to normal, and it seemed that everything had changed.

Iwakatsu practices swordsmanship every day under the guidance of his father's subordinates, waiting for the day when he can inherit the family.

Yuko's situation is not so optimistic.

Girls from large families in feudal society are often pitiful, without the right to freedom, and are often used only as tools for marriage.

In order to avoid such a future, Yuko also wants to learn from Yunyi and leave home.

But she is only six years old and has no skills. Such a little girl will only die if she leaves home.

For this reason, she found Iwakatsu.

"Brother, can you please teach me swordsmanship?"

Iwakatsu stood alone in the courtyard, waving a wooden sword to practice.

Yuko deliberately chose the time. If there were outsiders present, they would definitely report the matter to their father.

A girl holding a knife, what kind of words is this.

"Why should a girl learn swordsmanship? Just learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well. Anyway, you only need to get married when you grow up." Iwakatsu inherited the ideas from feudal society, so it was no surprise that he said this.

After hearing this, Yuko was so angry that she almost hung him on a sweet potato.

You kid, just wait for the explosion.

Even if she had communicated with Yansheng seriously, all she got was perfunctory and indifferent words.

This made Yuko completely understand that Yansheng had long been imprisoned by the distorted thoughts of feudal society and could not understand her at all.

Yuko always thought that with her adult knowledge and experience, it should be easy to correct a child's distorted psychology.

But reality gave her a slap in the face.

Children listen to adults not because what adults say is right, but simply because they are adults.

Yansheng, who was deeply influenced by the concept of respect and inferiority in the old society, could not listen to Yuko at all.

Yuko no longer asked for his help. During the day, she learned the art of playing the zither, tea art and embroidery under the teacher arranged by her father.

At night, she was in her room, waving the wooden sword she got from Yansheng.

Although she forgedI couldn't find the trick at all, but it was better than doing nothing.

In addition, she would occasionally peek at Yansheng's training during the day, so overall she had made some progress.

If you want to live happily in the outside world, you must have your own strength, especially since she is a girl.

If you don't work hard, what you will become has been clearly portrayed in those pink apps.

She had no doubt that in this feudal society, people eating people would be worse than ghosts eating people.

Time passed by little by little, and more than ten years passed in a blink of an eye.

Yansheng and Yuzi grew taller and taller, and even looked very similar.

Although Yuzi was born later, she inherited the same appearance from her parents as her brother, but she was a little smaller in figure, and her cheeks looked softer and closer to women.

Her long burgundy hair attracted so many eyes that she almost broke the threshold of the successor country.

After Yansheng inherited the family business, got married and had children, his father, who had always been depressed, passed away at the age of thirty.

On this day, Yuko, who was learning the art of playing the zither with her teacher, was called away by Yansheng's subordinates.

Yuko came to Yansheng with a heavy heart.

Yuko said lightly: "Is there something wrong? Brother."

More than ten years have made the relationship between the brother and sister fade a lot, just like the hierarchy that Yansheng has deeply rooted in his mind.

"The general sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts..."

Just the first sentence made Yuko's heart cold.

She didn't even wait for Yansheng to say the second sentence, and said lightly: "I know."

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

After that, she turned around and left without waiting for Yansheng to continue speaking.

In fact, at the age of 18, Yuko is already considered an old leftover woman in this era, and countless men have been rejected by her.

Until this time, the general's son proposed a marriage proposal.

Even if she disagreed, it would be useless.

Feudal society harms people.

Yuko passed by the kitchen and took some food, returned to her residence, and began to pack her luggage, planning to sneak away tonight under the moonlight.

She took out the samurai sword wrapped tightly in a cloth strip from the cabinet, which she had taken from home before.

Then she packed several more clothes for traveling.

After finishing the arrangement, Yuko suddenly noticed the flute in the corner of the room.

It was given to her by Yansheng when she was a child. Perhaps when she gave it to her brother, she thought of her sister, so she carved one for her as well.

As Yansheng's psychology became more and more twisted, she threw it in the corner.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuko wiped it clean and put it in her bag.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

The sky gradually darkened.

Jiguo Yuko took her bag, put the samurai sword on her waist, and opened the door.

Very good.

The night watchman was not here.

However, when she slipped to the back door, a figure stood quietly under the moon, leaning against the back door.

Hiss~

Aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? !

Yuko took a breath, and before Yansheng noticed, she tiptoed back in the dim moonlight and planned to turn back.

"Yuko." Yansheng's faint voice sounded.

Yuko paused, knowing that she couldn't escape, she took a deep breath and walked out of the shadows.

"You sent someone to monitor me?"

"You don't think I don't know that you stole the real knife."

Yuko: "..."

She was careless.

Yuko's eyes were slightly cold, and she held the hilt of the knife at her waist and said coldly: "Get out of the way, I won't let you guys manipulate me like Yunyi."

Yansheng hadn't heard Yunyi's name for more than ten years, and his body froze for a moment.

The scene of his self-esteem being ruthlessly shattered by his younger brother seemed to be just yesterday.

He slowly drew out the long sword from his waist and said in a deep voice: "Then give it a try and see what you have learned secretly."

Unlike Yansheng who was still playing with wooden swords as a child, Yansheng at this time, after rigorous training and his extraordinary talent, has become a warrior who surpasses his father.

Yuko took a deep breath, knowing that this battle was inevitable.

She slowly drew out the long sword from her waist.
