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

Chapter 233 I'm Different From You

The thought of almost losing two generals before even engaging Muzan filled Yuko with lingering fear.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was speechless after being rebuked.

Kanae Kocho quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Well, Shinazugawa, calm down. I think Ms. Ikuko is right."

"If someone accidentally enters Muzan's lair, even a Pillar would have a hard time escaping."

That's Muzan's stronghold; the Twelve Demon Moons can arrive at any time.

She said that aside from Yoriichi, who could fight his way out, everyone else who went in would just be sent to their deaths.

Even Kokushibo in his human era couldn't defeat Muzan.

Ikuko cursed secretly.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's face twitched twice, but he didn't say anything.

Obanai Iguro pondered for a moment. It seemed that they hadn't been seeing things that day; the city they saw from the air, located below the floor, was real.

If he and Shinazugawa had actually jumped in with those demons back then, they wouldn't have been able to come out alive, given their strength.

At least……

After witnessing the devastation caused by Yuuka's battle, he lacked the confidence to face the unseen Upper Moon One alone.

That level of combat is beyond what humans can achieve.

Even the lower moons they had encountered in the past were far inferior; they were practically natural disasters.

He had never seen anything that could cause that level of destruction by human power.

Kanae's words always have an effect; Shinazugawa Sanemi twitched his lips and turned his head away.

Although the relationship between Kanae and Shinazugawa has not been officially confirmed, in the eyes of everyone else present, their relationship is already self-evident.

After the interlude, those who wanted to chat went back to chatting, and those who wanted to daydream went back to daydreaming.

After a while.

wow...

"I've kept you all waiting." Ubuyashiki Amane led the two children into the house, sat down at the head of the table, and bowed. "I, Ubuyashiki Amane, will be the acting chairperson for today's Pillar Meeting."

"My patriarch Kagaya's condition has worsened, and he will no longer be able to appear before you all. Please allow me to express my sincere apologies."

As soon as Ubuyashiki Amane finished speaking, all the Pillars bowed their heads.

Tanjiro nervously bent down, mimicking Tanjiro's actions.

Yuko's eyelids drooped slightly, and her head bowed gently.

“Understood…” Himejima Gyoumei said in a steady voice, “I hope that my lord will prolong the flame of life as much as possible…”

"Lord Tianyin, please cheer up..."

Ubuyashiki Amane closed her eyes slightly: "Thank you sincerely, Pillars."

"I'm sure you all already know about the Sword Forging Village." There was no time to grieve over Kagaya Ubuyashiki's worsening condition, so Amane Ubuyashiki steered the conversation to the main topic, "Miss Ikuko's ability to overcome sunlight has already been learned by Muzan Kibutsuji."

"For the past week, there has been no trace of the evil spirit."

"In order to overcome the sun, a large-scale, all-out war is about to break out."

No one questioned Yuuko because Muzan found out about her overcoming sunlight.

At that time, no one could do better against Upper Moon One.

Moreover, many of these people are already itching to fight Muzan Kibutsuji.

Ubuyashiki Amane raised her eyes slightly: "So, at this crucial time, Lord Kagaya's view is that the Pillars should join forces to form a special training program for all Demon Slayer Corps members."

"Special training?"

“Yes, in order to prepare for the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, it is necessary to improve the fighting power of both the Pillars and the team members.” Ubuyashiki Amane patiently explained, “Now that the demons have disappeared, the team members can gather together.”

"And the pillars that have not yet awakened their markings will also receive training to awaken them."

At this point, everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Yu Zi.

Especially when faced with the gazes of Shinazugawa Sanemi and Iguro Obanai, Ikuko responded with a kind smile.

"Remember what I said?"

I'm going to give you two brats a good beating!

Sanemi Shinazugawa chuckled: "I'm very curious, are these so-called markings really that magical?"

Because the Pillars rarely have the opportunity to team up or train, Sanemi Shinazugawa only knew that a few people had awakened their Demon Slayer Marks.

However, he maintained an objective view on how much his strength had improved.

With his long, flowing hair radiating enthusiasm, Rengoku Kyojuro declared with great charisma, "Wow, that's impressive! Shinazugawa! You've truly undergone a complete transformation!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa was somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Ubuyashiki Amane glanced around and said, "Then, let's discuss the training arrangements."

She wasn't a combatant, after all; the boss only needed to understand one thing.

That is, leave professional tasks to professionals.

No matter what industry you're in, the worst thing you can do is for an outsider to give instructions to an expert.

In terms of combat, she and Kagaya combined are no match for one person.

Ubuyashiki Amane stood up, took her two children and left. When she passed Ikuko, she nodded slightly to her.

Yu Zi nodded in response.

"Well then, since Lady Amane has left, I will take my leave as well." No sooner had Ubuyashiki Amane left than Tomioka Giyuu stood up with a cold expression.

"Hey, wait it out, don't run away!" Sanemi Shinazugawa called out in an unfriendly tone, "We still need to decide on everyone's future actions..."

"You can discuss it yourselves..." Giyu Tomioka walked out of the house expressionlessly. "It's none of my business."

Obanai Iguro frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her heterochromatic eyes. "What do you mean, 'it's none of your business'?"

"Do you even have any sense of responsibility as a Pillar?"

"Or what? Are you planning to start practicing on your own first? And not even attend the meeting?"

The atmosphere in the room inexplicably became stagnant.

"Ah, that Giyu-san..." Tanjiro reached out nervously to grab Giyu's sleeve, but the man easily dodged him.

"Mr. Yiyong?"

Compared to Tanjiro's awkwardness, Shinazugawa Sanemi is much more direct.

He stood up and shouted, "Stop, you bastard!!"

Shinobu Kocho's brows furrowed slightly: "Mr. Tomioka, please explain your reasoning."

"A few words are far from sufficient."

Giyu Tomioka paused, and after a moment, he replied calmly, "I'm different from you."

"This is really annoying..." Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at him with a fierce expression. "You've said the same thing before, haven't you, Tomioka?"

"Do you look down on us?"

……

The atmosphere became very awkward.

Seeing the increasingly tense scene, Yuko's lips twitched slightly.

If she's not mistaken, the child probably meant to say...

You guys are amazing, completely different from a good-for-nothing like me.

It's a bit difficult for others, especially for someone as simple-minded as Sanemi Shinazugawa; it's too difficult for him to understand such emotions.

Even Yuko, with some memories of her past life and the records she kept, was able to understand that Giyu Tomioka was essentially a reserved and inarticulate person.
