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

Chapter 224 But you don't seem to have much confidence.



Chapter 224 But you don't seem to have much confidence.

Yuko sometimes doesn't even realize how powerful her words are.

I've been listening to Yuko say that Tanjiro has a unique charisma that attracts people to him.

But Tamayo really wanted to say...

You're the same... Yuko...

Without you, I probably wouldn't be able to have made it this far with a smile on my face.

A gentle smile appeared on Tamayo's lips: "Ikuko, you really don't take Muzan seriously..."

Yuko retorted, "Why should I bother with a rat in the gutter?"

Tamayo's lips curled into a smile: "But you don't seem very confident."

Butterfly chuckled to herself.

The tense atmosphere from a moment ago was suddenly thrown off course again.

She felt that Yuko also had a talent for creating a lively atmosphere.

Yu Zi blushed slightly as she tried to hold back her tears: "I can still protect you without any problem."

What a joke!

Back then, Yoriichi chased her around and hacked her to pieces, but he still couldn't kill her. No matter how powerful Muzan is, can he be more powerful than Yoriichi?

Tamayo shook her head: "If that time really comes, I hope you can seize the opportunity I created."

Instead of wasting a great opportunity to save her.

Although their main strategy for killing Muzan was to stall until dawn.

However, if he doesn't exhaust most of his strength beforehand, it will be difficult for anyone to stop Muzan from leaving when it's almost dawn.

Therefore, even tactics that primarily rely on delaying tactics.

Even when facing Muzan, one should still fight with the intention of cutting off his head, rather than trying to delay as much as possible.

Even at the cost of their lives, they would exhaust his physical strength.

Just to deprive him of that last sliver of hope.

Yuko was not persuaded by her and said seriously, "Tamayo, my words will not change."

Those crimson double pupils held an unwavering resolve, as expected.

Tamayo sighed inwardly. If it were Yushiro, he probably wouldn't have argued with her like that.

To prevent Tamayo from saying anything about 'suicide' again, Ikuko called out decisively, "Yushiro."

Wow.

The door was opened, and Yushiro appeared in the corridor, but unlike before, he stood outside the door without saying a word.

Yu Zi didn't even turn her head: "Where's the medicine?"

Yushiro remained silent.

Tamayo chuckled inwardly as she watched.

How could Yushiro possibly listen to you?

Yuko's expression was indifferent: "If you think Tamayo is right, then so be it."

"..." After a moment of silence, Yushiro took out the medicine and handed it to Yuko, his eyes widening slightly.

With a look of utter astonishment on Tamayo's face, Yushiro turned his head slightly away.

Yuko casually rummaged through the medicine box a couple of times and stuffed it into Shinobu's arms.

He casually explained, "To prevent you from injecting the drug into yourself beforehand and trying to use yourself as bait, I think it's better to take it away."

Tamayo: ???

No, she hadn't actually thought that way.

She only intended to take advantage of Yushiro's Blood Demon Art to deliver a fatal blow to Muzan when he wasn't paying attention.

However, considering that both scenarios end with Muzan crushing them, it seems there's no real difference between them.

Yuko stood up: "Shinobu, let's go, I'm hungry."

Tamayo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He clearly didn't want to talk to her anymore, and he could even come up with an excuse like being hungry.

"Okay, let's go back." Shinobu Kocho slung her medicine box over her shoulder and gave Tamayo an embarrassed smile.

Without saying a word, Yushiro offered, "I'll take them."

You know, this guy used to practically wear his displeasure on his sleeve whenever he saw them... no, it was more like he wore his displeasure on his face and even said it out loud.

Not to mention this kind of proactive gesture of seeing guests off.

What a hell.

Yushiro led the two outside, but Tamayo suddenly called out, "Wait, Yuko."

Yuko stopped in her tracks, gestured with her chin to Shinobu Kocho, and signaled for them to go ahead.

"what happened?"

Tamayo watched as Yushiro and Shinobu disappeared down the stairs, then hesitated before saying, "Yushiro... he's changed a lot."

Yu Zi glanced sideways and said inexplicably, "You don't seem to refer to him as 'that child' much lately."

Tamayo paused for a moment, then fell silent.

Doesn't Yushiro know her feelings for him?

No, Yushiro never hid the fact that he liked himself.

She just can't get over the past.

As if sensing her silence, Yuko slowly spoke: "Tamayo, I won't advise you to let go of the past, but you've already done very well, there's no need to sacrifice yourself any further."

Tamayo closed her eyes slightly: "I'll say the same thing to you."

"Of course, I don't want to die like this."

Tamayo sighed and looked up at Ikuko: "The human-transforming medicine that Nezuko needs is also in the medicine box."

"Given her condition, she should be able to return to normal life like Yae's father."

Yuko fell silent.

Tamayo ignored her expression and continued, "Although I don't quite understand why you're so fixated on the idea that Nezuko would help us defeat Muzan."

“But I studied Nezuko’s recent blood, and there is no doubt that her cellular evolution is somewhat similar to yours.”

"It's probably because you've all taken Blue Spider Lily."

"In other words, it might not be long before Nezuko overcomes the sunlight... or perhaps she has already overcome it."

"However, Nezuko does not have the same strength as Ikuko. If Muzan learns about Nezuko, we will be at his mercy."

Because that would give Muzan two targets, but they wouldn't have enough energy to deal with both at the same time.

That was all Tamayo had to say, but Ikuko understood that Tamayo wanted her to inject Nezuko with the human-transforming drug.

Yuko's fingers curled slightly: "I understand, I will ask Shinobu to give her the injection."

"Ah."

……

Actually, she had been thinking about this for a while.

Should one believe in their almost forgotten memories of a past life?

We should trust our own judgment, the kind of judgment we should have when facing a formidable enemy in this situation.

Even though hundreds of years have passed and the memories of her past life have long been blurred, Yuko still sees the high-dimensional perspective of that time traveler.

If you tell this to other people, they would probably all agree to turn Nezuko back into a human.

In other words, she could have prevented Nezuko from suffering such pain.
