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

Chapter 270 Please Allow Me to Refuse

Those who can now train at the Stone Pillar Hell are basically the strongest members of the Demon Slayer Corps, aside from the Pillars.

That is, swordsmen of grades A and B.

Of course, there are also experts among the other pillars.

Just like Zenitsu and Inosuke, the two of them already had the strength of a regular Pillar, but their special training was carried out in batches.

The group in front of us should be the first to graduate from Uzui Tengen's group, and by the time it came to Zenitsu and Inosuke, it was probably countless batches.

Moreover, Zenitsu, that idiot, wasted a lot of time with Kanroji Mitsuri.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation.

As for the rock pillar Himejima Gyomei, he pushed past Ikuko, pushing a huge, outrageous rock that required her to look up at it.

"Hello." As if sensing her and Shinobu's presence, Gyomei Himejima stopped and nodded slightly to them as he passed by.

Ikuko: "..."

What kind of monster is this...?

Is it really possible for humans to do this?

Yuko couldn't help but examine Himejima Gyomei's body through that transparent world.

It's a truly perfect body, sculpted to the point of being almost monstrous, no longer belonging to the realm of humanity.

It's a pity that he lacked talent in other areas; otherwise, in terms of physical strength alone, he would have been very close to Yoriichi.

Behind Beimingyu Xingming, there were several other team members, gritting their teeth and pushing a large rock forward in a slow crawl. The rock was even smaller than Beimingyu Xingming's.

"Isn't that amazing? I went through the same training to become a Pillar." Shinobu Kocho leaned closer to her, put her hands behind her back, bent over, and said with a smile.

"Huh?" Yuko exclaimed in surprise, "Pushing such a big rock?"

"Hmm~" Shinobu Kocho had a slightly proud smile on her face.

Yuko pointed to the team members following behind Himejima Gyomei, "They're smaller than the others, aren't they?"

Otherwise, she couldn't imagine Shinobu Kocho pushing the big rock.

This has nothing to do with combat strength; most of the swordsmen who pushed the stones were not as strong as the ninjas.

This is purely a difference in strength, to the point that it cannot be compensated for later in life.

Butterfly shook her head with a smile: "My sister and I joined the Demon Slayer Corps after being rescued by Mr. Himejima."

"His original intention was to prevent us from participating in the fight against the demons, so he assured my sister and me that we could join the Demon Slayer Corps as long as we could move that stone."

Shinobu Kocho held up two fingers, saying, "So it was actually the result of our combined efforts."

Yuko was somewhat suspicious: "Even if it's just two people..."

Kanae was taller and stronger than Shinobu, but according to Shinobu, they hadn't joined the Demon Slayer Corps yet, and might not have even learned the Breathing Technique, so how could they have propelled this thing?

He wanted to see Yuko's confused expression, but he didn't want to keep teasing her.

Shinobu Kocho didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "It's the lever principle, Ikuko, you should have heard of it, right?"

"What rod?" Yu Zi replied subconsciously, "Oh, I know."

She seemed to remember someone saying they could move the whole earth.

There is such a thing.

Yuko said with a strange expression, "So, you guys were actually cheating, right?"

“How could it be cheating? Mr. Beimingjima only made an agreement with us to move the stone, but did not say what method to use.”

"Besides, he was just deliberately making things difficult for my sister and me."

In a sense, they wouldn't have passed even without taking shortcuts.

Yuko said helplessly, "Well, I can understand what he did."

Women are inherently at a disadvantage when it comes to killing demons, and Ren is the one who can best understand this situation.

Of the hundreds of swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps, 99% are male.

In addition, those who suffered Muzan's attacks and lost their families were mostly those who worked as assistants to the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen in slaying demons.

For example, Kanzaki Aoi chose the path of healing at the Butterfly Mansion because she could no longer fight demons on the battlefield.

Of course, there's nothing shameful about it.

A powerful group is formed by strength in all aspects.

Both the Forging Village and the Hidden Force diligently carried out their respective duties, and even the Wisteria Flower Family provided accommodation for team members who were away from home.

These are the results of the Demon Slayer Corps' cooperation over hundreds of years.

"Miss Yuko, Miss Shinobu, it's been a long time."

Just then, a bright and cheerful voice came from behind them.

You could tell who it was without even turning your head.

Yuko turned around with a smile: "Long time no see, Kyojuro."

Hmm, that's different from the statement that Tanjiro hasn't seen anyone in a long time.

She and Kyojuro had indeed not seen each other for some time.

After the meeting held before the start of the special training...

It seems like nothing's different...

However, Kyojuro didn't care about these details. The enthusiastic owl saw them under the waterfall and hurried over to say hello.

Shinobu greeted him, "Mr. Rengoku."

Rengoku Kyojuro glanced around, as if searching for something.

Yuko turned around without thinking, but there was nothing there: "What are you looking at?"

Kyojuro asked cheerfully, "Where's Kamado-kun?"

Yuko laughed and said, "It's a good thing you finally got Tanjiro's surname right. It's a pity Tanjiro isn't here."

Kyojuro scratched his head: "Oh, I see. Didn't he come with you?"

Yu Zi shook her head: "He has something to take care of."

Kyojuro turned to look at Giyu sitting under the waterfall and remarked, "It's amazing that he was able to persuade Tomioka to come for special training."

"We were just having a contest to see who could hold their tongue first," Kyojuro explained, bewildered. "Well, I didn't last long and I lost."

"Tomioka is really amazing."

Yuuko, Shinobu Kocho: "..."

No, no, you can't possibly win this kind of competition.

You can't win against anyone!

Not to mention Giyu Tomioka, that guy can sit with you for ages without saying a word.

"Yuko, how about we have a contest and see who can't hold their tongue first?" Kyojuro invited, still eager for more.

"...No, please allow me to refuse."

Yuko couldn't quite understand this guy's thought process. Although she didn't dislike him, she really wasn't the type to...

A lively and energetic personality.

Perhaps Inosuke and Tanjiro can get along with him.

What? Zenitsu is funny too?

No, Zenitsu is such a loser, he's completely incompatible with Kyojuro.

Forcing a compatibility solution will only torment Zenitsu...

Well, it doesn't seem impossible.

At least someone can calm down a little.
