Demon Slayer: The Journey of Becoming Yoichi's Sister

Yuko knelt on the spot, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and bowed her head slightly.

She said she was worshipping, but she actually had nothing to say.

Muzan was still free and easy in the world. After defeating Muzan, she would come back to repair this place.

Nezuko followed Yuko and knelt down very attentively, clasped her hands together, and worshiped devoutly.

After the worship, Yuko looked for a place to hide at night near Tanjiro's house.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, this place has changed a lot, but the most suitable place to hide is still the forest in front of the house.

It is winter now, covered by snow, and it is impossible to detect it lying on the ground.

If it is facing a sharp swordsman like Yoriichi, maybe he can detect it.

But all Muzan has is an absolute value. He is not like a qualified swordsman, or a warrior, who has a keen sense of danger.

As long as he hides his breath well, Muzan should not be able to find anything.

Moreover, although Yuko did not have the confidence to defeat Muzan, she was still a little confident that she could escape from him.

Seeing her burying her whole body in the snow, Nezuko couldn't help but worry: "Will you catch a cold?"

Yuko stood up from the snow and said with a smile: "No, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, this kind of cold is nothing."

It's better to say that it's just the opposite. She has adapted to the ghost body and now prefers this cold environment to the hot summer.

In this cold environment, the power of her sword can be greatly improved.

This is why Yuko is confident to turn around under Muzan's nose.

This is what it means to be like a fish in water.

Although Nezuko was still a little worried, seeing that Yuko had been lying in the snow for so long without even a shiver, she believed her words.

Time quietly came to the evening, and Nezuko brought out two bowls of food.

"Sister Yuko, it's time to eat."

"Ah, I see."

Yuko was investigating the situation outside the house. When she heard Nezuko's voice, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

She had said in advance that she didn't need to cook her meal, but Nezuko said that she had to eat a full meal to have the strength to fight, and didn't give her any chance to refuse or explain.

Nezuko's cooking skills are very good, and the food looks very good.

In this era, children from poor families are all early to take care of the family. When Yuko was her age, she had never cooked.

Yuko simply ate a little, and she only knew it after meeting Tamayo.

Evil spirits cannot eat human food, which makes them difficult to swallow.

But after becoming an evil spirit, Yuko can barely eat human cooked food, which may have something to do with her physique.

It is not so easy to be proficient in changing the physique of the five major breathing methods.

There are many swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps who practice various breathing methods, especially those derived breathing methods. They know some basic breathing methods, but they cannot switch breathing methods at will during the battle.

But Yuko can.

After dinner, Yuko noticed that Nezuko looked a little worried, and she couldn't help but be moved.

Of course, anyone would be afraid.

But she couldn't say anything to comfort her.

Because from the bottom of her heart, Yuko supported Nezuko to become a demon.

It's not just an extra fighting force. You know, Nezuko is half the protagonist, and she is likely to play a key role in the decisive battle.

Yuko apologized in her heart, said hello to Nezuko, and left home.

She felt like a villain, and she was like this before, deceiving Yan Sheng, knowing his ending, but still chose to conceal it.

It's the same now, saying it is better than doing it.

She is not the dazzling sun like Yoriichi, or even the moon or the stars... Perhaps, it is more appropriate to describe her as the bottom of a swamp...

Yuko came to the snow in the forest and found a hidden place to lie down, covering her whole body. The cold snow slightly soothed her restless heart.

Yuko calmed down.

...

Late at night, a man in a black windbreaker appeared at the door of Tanjiro's house.

In the forest on a snowy night, a pair of eyes were fixed on that figure.

That figure was not strong, and even looked a little thin.

But...

What a terrifying vitality...

This is the first time Yuko has seen Muzan in person.

Under the transparent field, Muzan's body structure is exposed.

The powerful body composed of five brains and seven hearts, its powerful vitality is like a violent active volcano, which may erupt at any time.

She has overcome the defect of sunlight, but in terms of physical fitness, even the heyday after the demonization is far less vigorous than this.

That's natural, she just overcame the sunlight, but Muzan... is the ghost king.

The source of evil ghosts in the worldhead.

This is not a monster that can be defeated by one person...

Yuko knew it clearly.

In terms of life level alone, Muzan has completely surpassed humans.

If Yoriichi is compared to a skilled player, then Muzan is a kryptonian with full godly equipment and explosive stats.

His basic data is completely different from that of others.

To be honest, this is because the individual's strength is too strong, so that even a brainless person like Muzan can mess up the world.

In any other hot-blooded comic, he is not qualified as a villain.

Lacks the pattern and intelligence that a villain should have.

This is a pure numerical monster.

Muzan walked towards the door of the house, Yuko held her breath and concentrated, and her fingers under the snow slowly placed on the handle of the knife.

At this distance, if Muzan made an unplanned action against Nezuko, she was sure to arrive in an instant.

Muzan knocked on the door politely.

"Um, who is this?" Nezuko's slightly nervous voice came from the room.

The door was opened.

Muzan had no intention of talking to her. He looked around and said, "Is there only one person?"

"That..."

Muzan retracted his gaze and looked at Nezuko without any emotion in his red eyes.

"If there is only one person, you have to protect her carefully."

Yuko breathed a sigh of relief, and her fingers on the hilt of the knife couldn't help loosening.

It's not a conspiracy theory.

"...What?" Nezuko was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.

Muzan said no more, and his arm turned into a long whip and injected it into Nezuko's body.

After a while, Muzan looked at Nezuko who fell to the ground indifferently.

"It's not enough to inject so little blood. It seems that ghosts that can overcome sunlight are not so easy to create."

Muzan didn't find anyone spying in secret. As Yuko guessed, he didn't have the keen senses that a warrior should have. He was just an ordinary person with explosive values.

After confirming that Muzan had left, Yuko quickly got up from the snow and ran into the house.

Nezuko was lying in a pool of blood at the door.

Yuko went forward to check. Nezuko was unconscious, but the wounds on her body were slowly recovering.

Success...

Muzan turned people into demons in order to create demons that could overcome the sun. Most of the humans who died in his hands were actually people who could not bear his blood, rather than directly dying from his attacks.

This is also the reason why Yuko dared to let Nezuko face Muzan alone, although... this is not something to be praised...

If she could be stronger...

Nezuko is turning into an evil demon.

The length of time it takes to turn into a demon depends on one's own strength. It took her three full days to turn into a demon.

In Nezuko's case, Tanjiro came back the next morning.

One night.
