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

Chapter 477 A Silly and Innocent Smile

The palanquin was several meters tall and was very solemn and magnificent.

Shinobu Kocho craned her neck and curiously examined it for a moment, then asked, "Is this the portable shrine that will be in charge of the parade next?"

"Is something wrong?" Shinobu Kocho glanced at the busy craftsmen.

Muichiro took a sip of water and explained to the two of them, "It seems that a pillar was broken, but the parade was about to start, so they sent me to make the trip."

Yuko and Shinobu looked around but couldn't see anything wrong with it. They weren't particularly interested in the thing, so they turned their attention to Muichiro instead.

Yuko looked Muichiro up and down and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what have you been doing since leaving the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Muichiro smiled shyly and pointed to the wood beside him: "As you can see, I have returned to my home in the mountains and resumed my work as a lumberjack."

Yuko said speechlessly, "You're just like Tanjiro."

"What's wrong with Tanjiro?" Muichiro asked.

“That guy is just like you. After the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, he went back to his hometown and made a living by burning charcoal.” As she said this, Yuko couldn’t help but add, “I feel like the two of you could work together.”

"You cut down trees, he burns charcoal."

Muichiro chuckled silently, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, seemingly quite interested in Ikuko's suggestion.

Shinobu Kocho asked, "Then what are you doing here...?"

As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho pointed to the busy craftsmen beside her.

"Yes, I originally came here after receiving news of your gathering." Muichiro nodded with a smile.

Yuko looked puzzled: "Then..."

"It was probably three days ago?" The two noticed that Muichiro was smiling a lot these days.

He almost always has a faint smile on his lips, radiating a gentle aura.

This feeling was even stronger than Tanjiro's kindness.

If Tanjiro gives off a sunny and cheerful kind of goodness, then this child gives off a quiet and gentle kind of goodness.

If I absolutely had to say who he resembles...

The image of Kanae appeared in both of their minds.

Yes, she looks a bit like Kanae (her older sister).

Kanae (the older sister) is like that, always with a faint smile on her lips, as if she carries an inexplicable kindness towards the world.

I never imagined that Muichiro was originally this kind of person.

Even though Ubuyashiki Amane mentioned that Muichiro was a very kind person before he lost his memory, they never expected him to be this kind.

It's hard to reconcile the image of Muichiro from his past, when he used to be so annoying.

They're practically two different people.

"I arrived here by train at that time." Because he was worried about missing the appointment, Muichiro set off early.

"Huh? Then why didn't you come looking for us?" Shinobu Kocho was extremely surprised.

When the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, everyone exchanged addresses and contact information.

The message that Shinobu and the others sent out was also an invitation for everyone to come and visit, and to enjoy the summer festival together.

“That was the original idea,” Muichiro said with a smile, pointing to the craftsmen beside him. “But then I met the old man and his men, helped them move a few pieces of wood, and somehow ended up joining them.”

"Uh..." The two were speechless.

I have a feeling that this is more like something Tanjiro would do.

"When will you stop working?" Yuko asked, amused. "If this keeps up, we'll miss the summer festival."

Muichiro wiped his hands: "My work is almost finished. I'll go tell the uncles."

After saying that, he jogged over and explained to the craftsmen. After a brief tug-of-war, Muichiro took his wages from them and ran back with a smile.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll go change my clothes and then I can leave."

The two naturally had no objections, and nodded slightly to Muichiro, signaling him to go and return quickly.

A short while later, Muichiro returned, wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform with a Nichirin Blade hanging at his waist.

Their eyelids twitched.

Why are you wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform?

"Why are you still carrying a Nichirin Blade?"

Won't I get arrested by the police if I run into the street like this?

Muichiro looked confused: "Huh? Is that not allowed?"

"No, it's not a question of whether it's okay or not." Yu Zi's expression was somewhat subtle. "Look at what we're wearing."

"It's a kimono, it's a new outfit."

Shinobu Kocho nodded in agreement: "Isn't this practically the same as a work uniform?"

Yu Zi quietly added, "Be confident, there's no difference."

This is the Demon Slayer Corps uniform; what else could it be but a work uniform?

Muichiro chuckled and scratched his head: "I don't know either. Did I make a mistake?"

Yuko was stunned for a moment.

In a way, this child seems to have continued the lifestyle of his ancestors, living deep in the mountains and forests for generations, making a living by logging, and having no opportunity to come into contact with the fresh and dazzling things down in the mountains.

After losing his memory, he devoted himself entirely to the great cause of slaying evil spirits, which made his lack of common sense seem normal.

only……

It does sound a bit heartbreaking.

This child is strangely silly. Is he really okay on his own?

Yu Zi sighed softly, "I remember seeing a clothing store on the way here. It's not too late to change my clothes now."

Although Ikuko didn't have any feelings for Muichiro, strictly speaking, Muichiro could be considered her descendant.

Well, just like Muichiro said.

The time interval is too long, and the blood ties are almost diluted. It doesn't matter if we treat each other as strangers.

Yuko didn't see any trace of Kokushibo, Yoriichi, or even herself in him.

They don't even look alike.

But there was still a slight connection, which made Yuko somewhat concerned.

Muichiro paused for a moment: "Is that alright?"

Why do I feel like this child has become a bit stupid after regaining his memories?

Yu Zi thought to herself, then nodded with a smile: "Of course."

“However, could we leave the sword here for now?” Shinobu Kocho pointed to the Nichirin Blade at Muichiro’s waist. “Taking it to the street might cause unnecessary trouble.”

"I think there should be a place to store things here, right?"

It would be bad if the police on patrol saw them; there would inevitably be chaos.

Why is there such chaos?

Of course, you were the one chasing him and he ran away.

"I'll go ask." Muichiro didn't hesitate and went back.

"Sigh~" Shinobu Kocho suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Shinobu Kocho said sullenly, "I should have known better than to come with Muichiro."

Yu Zi couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry about it, we'll just shake them off when we meet other people on the road later."

"Yuko is really going too far~" Shinobu Kocho's expression was a half-smile.

Yu Zi rolled her eyes at her: "Didn't you suggest it?"
