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

Chapter 293 It's All a Strange Fate 1

It doesn't matter who gets stabbed, as long as it's not her.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki maintained a gentle smile: "This must be Miss Tamayo, right?"

"No, I am Yuko." Tamayo sat down in Yuko's seat expressionlessly, took out a syringe and pricked Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arm.

Everyone: "..."

Yuko opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but ultimately didn't dare.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was both amused and exasperated; he couldn't see, not hear.

The two voices were still distinguishable.

That being said, Ms. Tamayo gives off a very composed vibe. Is it because she's in front of Ms. Ikuko?

“Your blood is of great research value; please allow me to try it.” Tamayo withdrew a syringe full of blood.

Everyone: "..."

No, no, you've already smoked!

Inability to vomit.

Tamayo collected the blood, nodded slightly to the crowd, and then turned and left.

“The children haven’t slept all day. They just fell asleep a little while ago. I’ll go wake them up.” Ubuyashiki Amane thought of the children who had just fallen asleep. They must also be looking forward to ‘seeing’ their father.

"Excuse me." Ubuya Shiki Amane paused for a moment, then stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and opened the door to go find someone.

Saying he's looking for someone is probably just a way to calm his agitated state of mind.

Yuko watched Ubuyashiki Amane leave, then turned to Ubuyashiki Kagaya: "How did you feel?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki withdrew his gaze from his wife's retreating figure, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

It's like the cool morning air entering your lungs, bringing an unimaginable clarity and clarity to your mind and thoughts.

"It's like climbing through a narrow, dark tunnel and suddenly finding yourself in a beautiful, open space?" Yu Zi's lips curled into a slight smile.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Ikuko's description is very apt."

Ikuko just smiled.

She has a deep understanding of the feeling of recovering from this stubborn illness.

I felt so relaxed.

Of course, if she had to choose between lung disease and the curse of the Ubuyashiki family to haunt her, she would never choose the curse.

After all, you can endure discomfort, but you can't help becoming ugly.

“However, the curse has not been eradicated; it has only restructured and regenerated your flesh and blood…” Yu Zi gestured for him to look at his arm. “Look, if you look closely, aren’t the purple patches already faintly emerging?”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki focused his gaze more intently and indeed saw a faint purple glow beneath that fair skin.

Just as Yuko said, it probably won't be long before his body returns to its tattered state.

Shinobu Kocho said with a look of pity, "Judging from the current rebound, it will only take a month for my lord to lose his sight and health again."

“There’s no need to worry.” Kagaya Ubuyashiki closed his eyes slightly, his mindset very calm. “Being able to see Amane again… to see everyone, is enough.”

Yuko casually comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll keep you alive. Once you deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, your curse will be lifted."

Where does her confidence come from?

It was given to Tamayo, a super pharmacist who combines talent and hard work.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled.

“Oh, right, there’s something I didn’t have time to ask before,” Yuuko suddenly asked, “about Zenitsu’s master, his grandfather…”

"Regarding this matter," Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded with a smile, "I sent Ms. Ikuko's letter, along with my request, to Mr. Kuwashima."

"what do you mean?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki maintained his smile: "In my capacity as the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, I have temporarily withheld the matter of Mr. Kuwashima's suicide."

Yuko looked at him with some surprise.

In one's own name?

Aren't you afraid of damaging your prestige by doing this?

She did hope that Ubuyashiki could put in a good word for her, but it wasn't that obvious.

Even if an emperor wanted to pardon a minister who had committed a crime, he had to find a bunch of reasonable excuses.

"Although Mr. Sangdao's reply was very dissatisfied, I think that after he calms down, he will also think about what you have done for him."

"At least I'd be willing to wait for an outcome."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said softly, "Just as Ms. Ikuko said, all the systems of the Demon Slayer Corps are based on the premise of killing Muzan."

"Kaigaku hasn't had a chance to make a mistake yet. As long as he completes the feat of killing Muzan, I don't think the Demon Slayer Corps will say anything."

Yuko's eyes softened slightly: "Thank you for this."

“I should be the one saying that,” Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, closing his eyes. “You and Ms. Tamayo have been a great help.”

Yuko was about to say something more when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

The whole family appeared at the door, all neatly arranged.

to be honest……

Those kids looked a bit scary.

Just like the dolls in ghost stories.

Yu Zi suppressed the inappropriate thought in her mind and said, "Since you're already awake, we won't disturb you any longer."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said to his wife, "Amane, give Mr. Kuwashima's reply to Miss Ikuko."

"I understand." Ubuyashiki Amane touched her cuff, took out an envelope, and handed it to Yuuko.

"Thank you." After thanking him, Yuko didn't intend to linger. She exchanged a glance with Shinobu Kocho, and the two prepared to leave.

"Oh, right, Ms. Yuko." Kagaya Ubuyashiki suddenly stopped her.

Yuko turned around to look.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "Please keep my recovery a secret from the children, Ms. Yuko."

“Are you a child?” Yu Zi’s lips twitched. “Besides, you’re far from fully recovered.”

"..."

It can truly be said that harsh words can be as chilling as a winter's day.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's hard-won idea of ​​bringing surprises to the children was instantly blown away by Ikuko's cold wind.

Shinobu Kocho forcibly dragged Ikuko away.

……

Tamayo's laboratory.

"Yuko, that's incredibly rude of you!" Shinobu Kocho said, hands on her hips, glaring at Yuko.

Yuko waved her hands and explained, "It's probably because Ubuyashiki and Tamayo conspired to cheat me, which makes me very unhappy."

While continuing her research, Tamayo replied, "Hasn't everything already gone according to your plan?"

Yu Zi retorted, "You're making it sound like I'm being unreasonable."

Tamayo looked away from the microscope, turned to Ikuko, and said calmly, "In a way... yes."

"..."

“If you, Yuko, were to confront Muzan directly, there is a high probability that Muzan would not let his guard down.”

Just as Yuko was about to retort, Tamayo continued, "After all, you'll understand once you see that face."

After a moment of silence, Yu Zi managed to say, "Then you have to blame Yuan for this, not me."
