Chapter 517 What is Father's Name?
After regaining their sense of taste, Tamayo and Yushiro seem to gradually begin to try human food.
Perhaps it's in pursuit of delicious food, or perhaps it's in search of memories of being human.
I wouldn't say I eat three meals a day like a normal person, but I do use the pots and pans at home frequently.
After all, blood is merely a necessity for them to maintain their physical activities, and the fact that human food can be tasted must be a rare pleasure for Tamayo and her kind.
After taking a couple of small sips of tea, Yuko put down her teacup and looked in Tamayo's direction.
"Tamayo..."
“Yuko…” Just then, Tamayo turned around.
After a moment of stunned silence, Tamayo smiled helplessly: "Ikuko came here because of the medicine, right?"
Yuko was about to nod instinctively, but then she thought, does Tamayo's expression mean she won't come to see her unless she needs something? So she shook her head and denied it.
Do you see me as the kind of person who only contacts you when I need something?
Tamayo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Ikuko meant. Instead, Yushiro, who was sitting to the side, spoke up quietly.
"Well, isn't it?"
Although she did need someone's help, it was too embarrassing to say it out loud, so Yuko deliberately glared at them, pretending to be angry and embarrassed.
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? Didn't I just come to see you last year?"
Yushiro frowned: "How come I remember it was the year before last?"
what?
Yuko felt a pang of panic; it seemed it really was true!
"It's all the same, it's the same idea anyway." Yu Zi coughed lightly.
Yushiro was speechless: "..."
Tamayo gently touched her forehead, looking at the two of them helplessly: "That was three years ago. Are your memories even worse than mine, an old man?"
Yushiro quickly replied, "Tamayo-sama is not an old man."
Yuko curled her lip: "Well, all in all, I do come to see you guys from time to time."
"On the contrary, you have never been to my house even once."
Tamayo glanced at her indifferently: "The last time you and Miss Shinobu came to my place, the first thing you asked me when we were alone was about the potion."
Yu Zi looked embarrassed: "Well, that was just something that happened on the side."
Tamayo rolled her eyes, not quite understanding Ikuko's thought process.
However, Yuko is still Yuko after all; she says some inexplicable things from time to time, which is what makes her so special.
Tamayo sighed: "Regarding the potion, I've conducted many experiments using your blood over the years, but none of them have been satisfactory..."
"I put your cells together with Muzan's cells to conduct an experiment, and I found that Muzan's cells were quickly devoured."
"Perhaps your body underwent some changes after you devoured Muzan's flesh and blood."
Yu Zi frowned: "I see."
Tamayo nodded slightly: "That's right, the changes in the cells are too astonishing..."
“I actually feel like I’ve become stronger. If Muzan were to stand in front of me again, I could crush him with the flick of my finger.” Yuko nodded to herself. “I thought it was just my arrogance, but it seems that’s not the case.”
Tamayo stared blankly, mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
What is this all about...
"Wait! You mean Muzan's cells?" Yuko realized her mistake and came to her senses. "I remember you said before that Muzan's cells were used up a long time ago, which is why you can't make the human-turning drug anymore?"
Tamayo paused for a moment, then winked at Ikuko: "Did I say that?"
Yu Zi nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course! That's exactly what you told me back then."
When Yushiro saw that Miss Tamayo was about to give herself away, he quickly pretended to be casual and said, "I mean, it's normal for demons to forget some things because they have long lifespans, but your memory shouldn't be this confused, right?"
Yu Zi retorted instinctively, "Nonsense, I remember everything about the Warring States period perfectly, what do you think?"
Yushiro looked at her suspiciously: "Oh? Really? Then tell me, what's your father's name?"
Yu Zi rolled her eyes at him: "Are you crazy? Of course I remember my father's name..."
As she spoke, Yuko's voice grew softer and softer, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on her forehead.
Wait, if I remember correctly, my mother's name was Akane, my second brother's name was Yoriichi, my eldest brother's name was Iwakatsu, and my father's name was... what was it again...?
Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat; she really didn't remember!
What a joke! Even though that guy didn't really fulfill his responsibilities as a father, his name still shouldn't be mentioned...
Both Yushiro and Tamayo were taken aback.
This guy... doesn't really remember?
Isn't it?
Did you spring out of a crack in a rock?
I can understand if you can't remember your friends and classmates, but you shouldn't forget your parents' names, right?
Yuko noticed the strange looks from the two men, coughed awkwardly, and said, "My mother's name is Zhu Nai, my second brother's name is Yuan Yi, and my eldest brother's name is Yan Sheng. Do you think my memory is good?"
Yushiro's lips twitched: "Even though you say that, you still haven't said what your father's name is?"
Yu Zi blushed: "Ugh! Anyway, it's just another name like Ji Guo's. That old man isn't nice to me, why mention his name?"
Yushiro's eyes gradually became numb.
Enraged out of embarrassment, this is definitely enraged out of embarrassment, right!
Tamayo frowned slightly: "Yuko, no matter what, he is still your father. How can you describe him as an 'old man'?"
Yuko hesitated, then looked at Tamayo's serious and pained expression, and finally gave up and scratched her hair: "Okay, I was wrong, I remembered wrong, you didn't say that."
Yushiro and Tamayo exchanged a glance, both realizing how bewildered they were.
Although the process was a complete mess, it seems they managed to get away with it.
After a moment of silence, Tamayo sighed again: "In fact, Muzan's cells are no longer useful. Your cells are too complex and too powerful to be used to formulate a suitable targeted drug."
"Even if you use the red spider lily, it will be devoured by your cells."
"Even a human-transforming drug formulated specifically for Muzan's cells probably wouldn't work on you."
Yuko's expression turned serious: "Then can I turn back into a human?"
Tamayo pursed her lips slightly: "Well... that depends on whether there's any progress in the subsequent experiments."
The reason Nezuko's transformation drug was effective was not only due to the effect of the spider lily, but also because she obtained enough Muzan cells to develop a targeted drug to eliminate them.
The key to turning a person into a demon lies in the injection of Muzan cells. Treating Muzan cells as a virus, the human-transforming drug is the agent that can eliminate the virus.
Muzan was affected by the human-transforming drug when he was physically weak because his cells were inherently afraid of it, but Yuuko's situation is different now.
Until a drug that can target Yuko's cells to turn her back into a human is developed, Yuko will not be able to turn back into a human.
