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

Chapter 232 Almost Got Surrounded

Seemingly noticing Yuuko's hesitation, Shinobu Kocho explained, "I don't think Yuuko's previous thoughts were wrong."

"The best sword technique is the one that can better cut off the neck of a demon."

Shinobu had heard Ikuko mention information about the Snow Breathing sword form.

Although it is derived from the breathing techniques of wind and water, due to Yuko's special constitution, the sword form is not limited to the breathing technique of snow, but incorporates other breathing techniques.

You can often see the shadows of other breathing techniques' sword forms in the sword form of Snow Breathing.

Therefore, she knew about Yuko's hesitation regarding the development of the sword shape.

It's about returning to the basics, using the sword form that you're already good at, combined with other breathing techniques.

Or perhaps we should forge our own unique sword form, the Snow Breathing style.

Yu Zi nodded slightly: "I understand."

She didn't know if it was because she had used other breathing techniques and sword forms too much, but now she felt a little uncomfortable using her own breathing technique.

Sword forms, to put it simply, are sword techniques. It's just that because of the variety of breathing techniques, when combined, they can have an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Is she overthinking it?

Even without the sword form of Sun Breathing, Yoriichi was still able to defeat Muzan.

However, Ren is right about one thing: the sword forms of breathing techniques have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are many of them that she has never seen before.

There are plenty of pillars who haven't fought her yet; perhaps she can learn something good from them.

……

The next morning.

The ravens then began to caw loudly in the yard.

"What the hell are you doing, so early in the morning?!" Zenitsu shouted angrily as he pushed open the door barefoot.

then……

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I said I know I was wrong!"

Zenitsu was poked by several kasugai crows and ran around covering his head.

Kanzaki Aoi said expressionlessly, "You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to be in trouble."

"Pillar Meeting: Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, Sun Pillar Tanjiro Kamado, and Ms. Ikuko are requested to attend the Pillar Meeting."

After the ravens had finished their work and were free, they cried out.

"Has everyone else returned?" Shinobu Kocho murmured. "Honestly, I haven't heard a word from my sister."

Inosuke clenched his fists: "Damn it! If that split demon hadn't run away so fast! I would be a Pillar too!"

"No, no, it has to be a solo operation."

Kanzaki Aoi asked curiously, "Speaking of which, is this Tanjiro's first time attending a Pillar Meeting?"

Tanjiro was about to nod when Shinobu Kocho spoke up first: "No, theoretically speaking, it should be the second time."

the second time……

Tanjiro was wondering when he had participated in this event when Nezuko handed him breakfast.

……

Tanjiro's lips twitched slightly: "Hmm... it's not impossible to say it's the second time."

Wasn't the first time he was beaten to a pulp?

After watching everyone finish breakfast, Yuko followed Shinobu Kocho and Tanjiro to the meeting place.

More than a week later, after confirming the information that the demon had disappeared, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps returned to the Demon Slayer Corps one after another.

We will conduct final training and engage in a final battle with the Demon King.

Upon arriving at the room in the corridor, Yuko could sense the various auras emanating from within even before opening the door.

Wow~

The door was pushed open, and pairs of eyes looked over.

"Shinobu~ Ikuko-nee~" Kanroji Mitsuri greeted her with a beaming smile.

Good morning! Miss Butterfly! Miss Yuko!

"Oh! A woman who isn't glamorous at all."

Zhu, who was familiar with Yuko, greeted her.

Sanemi Shinazugawa clicked his tongue as he looked at his companions, whose faces all bore the same markings as the woman's and their close relationship.

That guy, Yuzui, he was clearly annoyed with that woman back then, but it hasn't been that long.

accurate.

Fortunately, Ikuro was there to keep him company.

Shinobu and Ikuko didn't seem to have any feelings for each other, but Tanjiro looked somewhat restrained and uneasy being stared at by a group of people.

Unlike in the past, this is the first time he has attended this meeting as a pillar.

He didn't know if he deserved the title.

Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: "Are we late?"

Yuko counted the number of people; all the pillars had arrived.

Kanae Butterfly smiled and said, "No, my lord has not yet arrived."

Yuko pointed to the expressionless Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, opposite Tanjiro, indicating that he could sit next to him.

She then sat down on the other side with Shinobu Kocho.

As soon as Yuko sat down, Kanroji Mitsuri turned around, offered her a delicate candy with her small hand, and asked with rosy cheeks, "Would you like some konpeito?"

Yuko paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

"..." Obanai Iguro glanced at him sideways.

The rock pillar maintained his elder brother image as always, his hands clasped together in a compassionate manner, with tears constantly welling up in his eyes.

"Since everyone is gathered here, it seems the information that the evil spirits have disappeared is true."

When the older brother brought up serious matters, Shinazugawa Sanemi also became serious: "Ah, not only that, but Iguro and I also discovered a cluster of demons."

As is widely known, evil spirits do not appear in groups.

Often, only one ghost will appear in a region, somewhat like an animal's territorial instinct.

If this weren't the case, the Demon Slayer Corps would inevitably have to expend much more effort to eliminate these evil spirits.

Obanai Iguro continued, "Speaking of which, when I chased after them with Shinazugawa, I witnessed them disappear before our eyes."

"No, it should be called a fall."

"There seems to be a building-like space connected beneath the floor. Is it that place called Infinite City?"

When Obanai Iguro said this, he looked at Ikuko with a questioning look in his eyes.

Yu Zi was startled: "Infinite City? How did you encounter it?"

Obanai Iguro recounted her encounter with Shinazugawa.

A large number of evil spirits gathered in an abandoned city. When they caught up with the tall buildings, the group of ghosts disappeared right before their eyes.

When they jumped, the space shut them out.

Shinazugawa Sanemi gritted his teeth and pounded the floor, "Damn it! We were so close back then!"

"Are you an idiot?" Yu Ziguang broke out in a cold sweat just listening to them. If they went in, they'd be surrounded like dumplings.

"Huh?" Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at him with a displeased expression.

Yuko didn't mince words: "You clearly knew about the Infinite City, so why did you still rush in?"

"You don't actually think you can get out once you go in, do you?"

Even without encountering Muzan or the other Upper Moons, one would get lost in that space.

Yu Zi couldn't figure out how to break this ability, but unexpectedly, there was a fool who regretted not jumping in.
