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

Chapter 733 Thank you on behalf of the school

"See you tomorrow~"

At dismissal time, the gate of Karakura-cho First High School is filled with the cheerful laughter of students.

See you tomorrow, Yuko.

"See you tomorrow, Miyu."

After saying goodbye to Ochi Miyu, Yuko left with her shoulder bag. As she walked out of the teaching building, she saw the twins squatting in a corner of the playground, watching the passersby.

The two seemed to have noticed Yuko's gaze, and quickly turned their heads away when they saw her.

Yu Zi calmly looked away, her brows furrowing slightly as she gazed at the students cleaning the playground.

It doesn't seem appropriate to cause a scene at school at this time.

After thinking for a moment, Yuko took out her phone and sent a message to Rukia and her group who had not yet left school before leaving with peace of mind.

"Peng, that woman is gone," Pan in the red hat whispered, glancing over furtively.

"Well, I see it."

"What should we do? Should we make our move as soon as they come out?"

"Let's wait and see." Peng looked around and found that there were still quite a few students in the school.

He wasn't worried about the students' lives, but rather that the woman seemed quite concerned. If she acted recklessly in the school, she might be killed by that monster.

only……

"So slow, what are those Quincy and Substitute Shinigami dawdling about?"

……

"How much longer?"

In the classroom, Ichigo sat on a chair with his legs crossed, letting out a grumble.

As he was mopping the floor, the veins on Ishida's forehead were slightly visible.

“If you don’t want to help, then don’t spout nonsense.” Ishida pushed up his glasses, stubbornly maintaining his elegant persona. “I’ve already said that you don’t need to keep such a close eye on me.”

"Huh? What if you get killed?"

While the two were arguing, only Chad, Tatsuki, and Orihime were diligently working.

Rukia, who was wiping the blackboard on the podium, suddenly had her phone ring. She stopped what she was doing and took the phone out of her pocket.

It was a text message from Ms. Yu Zi.

"After finishing the cleaning, I came to the construction site from that night with the others."

The construction site that night?

Rukia paused for a moment, then realized that Yuko was referring to the construction site where the snake-playing Bount had been foraging for food on the day she returned to the mortal world.

She sent a message asking for the reason, but the other party stopped replying.

"What's wrong, Rukia?"

Not wanting to wait too long, Ichigo got up to help with some chores. Seeing Rukia standing there with her phone in her hand, he went over and asked her what was wrong.

"News from the teacher."

Rukia looked up and held her phone screen in front of Ichigo.

"The construction site that day?"

Ichigo raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Yuko was up to.

"what happened?"

The crowd began to notice the unusual behavior of the two and gathered around.

A moment later, the phone was placed on the table, and everyone gathered around it, their expressions thoughtful.

"Well, first of all, it can be confirmed that this message was sent by the teacher, and not many people know my number."

"I can't get through on the phone, and they're not replying to messages."

"Could it be that it's already over?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, but Long Gui looked worried and said, "Could it be a trap? Will something happen to our teacher?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, then shook their heads in unison and said, "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible."

Although Tatsuki couldn't understand why these people were so determined, even Orihime had said so, so there was probably nothing wrong with them.

Finally, Rukia suggested, "Let's go take a look."

"She might be up to some trick again." Renji grinned, put his hands behind his head, and said, "Should we stand her up?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with raised eyes and calm expressions.

Renji looked around, bewildered. "Why are you looking at me?"

Rukia said calmly, "No, I was just curious that dead people can still talk."

"..."

Although they didn't know what Yu Zi was up to, the group still decided to go and see.

After all, disobeying Yuuko's orders is not a good idea.

It could easily lead to someone's death.

After helping Ishida finish his cleaning duties, everyone decided to go take a look over there.

After squatting on the playground for most of the day, almost wondering if the two brothers had been discovered and if the Quincy had already run away from the other side, the group finally left the teaching building.

only……

"Why are there so many people?" Seeing the crowd surrounding Ishida in the middle, Iwa's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't worry, the others are probably just students traveling together."

Pan asked, "Shall we make our move here?"

Peng shook his head and stood up first: "No, let's wait a bit longer. Let's follow them first."

Pan gritted his teeth, and the two brothers followed.

"Long Gui, see you tomorrow."

"Well, be careful."

Long Gui has made it clear that she will not participate. She is afraid that her strength is insufficient and that joining in would only make everyone worry or even become a weakness for them.

Ishida was only forced to follow because he happened to be the enemy's target.

The group separated from Long Gui, and Pan and Peng followed them all the way, only to find that the group did not seem to be heading home, but instead went further and further astray.

Soon, the group arrived at the construction site.

At this time, most of the workers had already finished their shifts, and the construction site was quiet.

The fighting in the past few days did not have much impact on the construction site.

Rukia's phone rang again. Before she could even take it out, Ichigo couldn't help but say, "Auntie was definitely watching us."

Rukia took out her phone and looked at it.

"On behalf of the school, I thank you."

Rukia blinked, then looked up at me with a blank expression: "What does this mean?"

Renji scratched his head: "Well, that doesn't make sense."

Ishida's eye twitched: "I have a feeling something's not right..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of children's laughter rang out behind him.

"You guys are really stupid to come to such a remote place."

"Who?!"

Everyone turned around and saw the twins blocking their way back.

Ichigo frowned: "Little brat?"

Pan sneered: "Who's the little brat? You yellow-haired brat, I'm older than your grandfather."

The veins on Ichigo's forehead throbbed.

Is that Bount?

Ishida adjusted his glasses, realizing why Ikuko had sent them away.

Rukia clapped her hands suddenly, realizing, "So that's how it is! Teacher already noticed these two, which is why he deliberately led us here."

"Huh? Is that so?" Ichigo belatedly realized what was going on, clenching his fist. "So, we're supposed to take care of these two guys?"

"Is that so?" Rukia agreed, glancing down at her phone.

The teacher's words sounded like, "Thank you for not causing trouble at school."

Ichigo, peering out from his shoulder bag, complained to Lilyn, "What kind of job are you doing? You didn't notice anything at all!"

The answer came from the backpack-like thing hanging from Orihime's waist, which looked like a rabbit's backpack: "There's nothing we can do. The other party isn't using any abilities, so we can't detect them."

Renji gripped his Zanpakuto at his waist and demanded, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" Pan sneered. "Don't you already know?"

He raised his finger and pointed downwards at Ishida, who was instinctively being protected by the crowd behind him.

"Hand that Quincy over to us."

After receiving a clear answer, everyone's expressions turned serious.

"What exactly do you Quincy want to do? Open a portal to Hueco Mundo?"

Peng narrowed his eyes slightly: "I see. So Fangye has indeed sided with you."

Pan interrupted, "Why waste time talking to them? Let's finish this quickly."

The red-haired woman had no idea what was going on.

It seems that the woman also played a part in bringing these guys here.

"You've got guts." Ichigo grinned, took out his Substitute Shinigami ID and stuck it to his chest, then his soul left his body. "Ishida, keep an eye on my body."

His body naturally fell towards Ishida behind him, but Ishida remained motionless, showing no intention of catching him.

As expected, Ichigo's body fell straight to the ground.

Ichigo's eyes widened, his face contorted with anger, and he turned around to grab Ishida by the collar: "What the hell are you doing?!"

"What the hell? Is it infighting?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead; he couldn't quite understand the current situation.

"Never mind that, Pan, let's do it!"

Peng took out the water bottle hanging from his waist, and Pan followed closely behind.

"Aquarius?" Renji assumed a stance, looking at the two with surprise and uncertainty.

Rukia was the first to realize the problem: "Look at the bottle cap!"

"A crest?!" Renji exclaimed in surprise as he looked over.

On the cap of the water bottle was an engraved heraldic design.

"I didn't expect that woman Fangye would even tell you about her emblem." Pan sneered as he unscrewed the bottle cap, and a water stain inexplicably seeped out from under his feet.

The same was true at Peng's feet; the two puppets seemed to have a certain similarity.

Soon, the water stain formed a small puddle.

"Gulu! Come out!"

"Kim Tae!"

As the two threw down the bottle caps, the caps, which fell into the puddle, quickly stood up, carrying clumps of water, forming two transparent monsters that looked like slimes or octopuses.

Perhaps due to the characteristics of twins, the two dolls are almost identical in both their emblems and appearance.

"Say hello, Gulu."

Pan raised his hand and pointed at the crowd.

Gulu raised one of its tentacles, swirling up the water on the ground and splashing it towards the crowd.

"Watch out, you idiot!"

Seeing this, Ishida quickly reminded Ichigo, who had his back to the enemy.

"Stop nagging, I saw it."

What do you see?!

Ichigo didn't have time to argue with Ishida and turned away.

Renji made the first move, slashing down at the water flow.

"No sensation?!"

As expected, when the blade struck the water, the water only briefly broke apart where the blade had passed before it came back together like a magnet.

"It's no use. No matter how many times you attack, Gollum can regenerate."

Rukia warned, "Cut off that bottle cap, Renji!"

"Really? How about this then?"

Peng raised his hand, and the ground shook.

"what happened?"

The crowd was so shaken that they almost lost their footing, as if an earthquake had struck.

Isn't this guy's ability to control water?

"We're really lucky. This construction site has a huge demand for water, and the underground pipes are all water sources."

As Peng's voice faded, black spots appeared beneath everyone's feet, followed by a surge of water that completely covered the ground.

"Go up!" With no other choice, the group could only retreat towards the higher parts of the still-under-construction building.

The two stood in a pool of water and looked up at the crowd.

"You really did choose a good burial plot for yourselves."

Ichigo thought to himself.

Auntie, you really picked a tricky place for us.

Renji said, "Those two guys' dolls can't be hit with slashing attacks alone."

Ichigo rolled his eyes: "Of course, you idiot, how can a sword cut through flowing water?"

Have you studied physics?

Renji's eye twitched: "No, do you want to fight?"

He had no idea about all this nonsense.

"Stop arguing, you idiots!" Rukia gave each of them a flick on the forehead. "If I'm not mistaken, attacking those two bottle caps will take care of their dolls, understand?"

"……clear."

"No, the bottle cap is missing."

Compared to the restless crowd, Ishida, an ordinary person, was keeping a close eye on the twins' actions.

"what?"

His words stunned everyone, who quickly looked down.

Sure enough, the slime that was standing in front of the two of them just moments ago had disappeared.

Pan's lips curled up slightly: "Naive. Do you really think we're idiots?"

Knowing the flaw and still revealing it to the other party, what else is that but idiocy?

All we need to do is hide the emblem.

The water source here is inexhaustible, and the coat of arms is only the size of a bottle cap, making it almost impossible to find.

Ichigo walked to the edge. "So, you mean those two dolls aren't with you right now?"

Pan looked up, bewildered. "Huh? So what?"

"Of course I'll kill both of you!"

Ichigo grinned, then leaped from the second floor, unleashing his Zanpakuto from his back and slashing straight at the two of them.

They were both stunned.

Is this guy really that reckless?

The next moment, the water on the ground surged up, forming a waterspout that swept Ichigo, who was unable to adjust his position in mid-air, into it.

Soon, Ichigo felt a suffocating sensation.

Renji suddenly appeared from behind, wielding the Zabimaru to break the water tornado and rescue Ichigo from it.

Are you really an idiot?

Ichigo coughed up the water that had entered his lungs: "I was careless."

He thought that once the core was gone, the two of them would no longer be able to control their abilities freely.

In fact, his idea was correct.

Ability must be paired with an emblem to become even stronger.

But that doesn't mean it has no power at all.

Renji shook the water off his sword, looking disgusted. "This thing is awful. It feels like I've chopped into my nose."

"Who are you calling snot?!"

His complaints angered Peng, who then directed the water to rush over.

Ichigo raised his sword to his chest, only to feel a powerful force strike him, almost knocking him away.
