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

Chapter 222 I will help you

Despite saying that, Yuko still honestly agreed.

Changing her body shape is indeed possible for her, but she only tried it a long time ago when she was familiar with her abilities.

Yuko held her breath slightly. In a way, many ghosts could do this—alter the size of their bones…

Yuko then put on a dramatic performance right in front of the two of them.

Even though she hadn't thought anything of it when she saw Nezuko transform before, now that these two were staring at her, Yuuko felt her ears burning.

If she hadn't felt so ashamed to say it, she really wanted to say, "Stop looking."

Especially after she shrunk, she realized that her clothes hadn't shrunk along with her!

Her clothes weren't woven from her own flesh and blood!

It was really embarrassing.

When Shinobu and Tamayo saw this, their eyes lit up immediately.

Yuko, still adjusting her clothes, felt the piercing gaze and trembled as she clutched her sleeve, looking nervously at the two who had 'grown': "I said, you two shouldn't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shinobu Kocho, who had passed behind Tamayo, grabbed her and pulled her into her arms.

"so cute!!!"

As Yuko's ears turned red, she popped her head out from Shinobu's arms and shouted, "I knew it would be like this!"

Tamayo narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Well, it's pretty much what I expected. It's very cute."

Yuko blushed, her face filled with shame.

Butterfly's mouth watered with envy. She had wanted to do the same thing ever since she saw Mitsuri embracing Nezuko in the sword-forging village.

The feel is absolutely fantastic!

so comfy.

Shinobu scratched Yuko's face repeatedly.

"..."

Yuko looked completely exhausted and numbly let the two of them do as they pleased.

She's so stupid; she should have known what those two were up to.

She's so stupid, really...

……

Shinobu Kocho finally let Yuuko go, only after he had ruffled her long, red hair until it was completely disheveled.

Yuko sighed and silently tidied her messy hair.

Shinobu Kocho clasped her hands together and said, "Sorry, I got a little too excited just now."

"No...it's not Ren's fault." Yu Zi shook her head, a hint of helplessness appearing on her still-childish face. "I was too nervous."

Actually, she could understand Ren's actions. If it were her, she might also have said she wanted to see.

After all, she found Nezuko cute when she shrunk down and often played with her.

At that moment, Tamayo found a syringe from the side.

Yuko was drawn to her actions and asked, "What's this?"

"A medicine that turns ghosts back into humans."

"Aww, the ghost transformation..." Yu Zi had just been through a lot and was a beat slow to react. Her expression suddenly changed. Completely disregarding her short stature, she dragged her oversized clothes onto the stool and looked at the table.

The way he climbs the stool... is so cute...

Butterfly covered her mouth, her face slightly flushed.

"Turn a ghost back into a human?!" Yuko stared at the syringe in front of her, her childish voice echoing throughout the room.

"Can this medicine really be made?" Yu Zi really didn't expect that such a thing could be done.

Despite Tamayo's ongoing research in this area, it's still incredibly impressive.

Tamayo smiled slightly: "Ah, thanks to Ikuko and everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps for bringing me the material."

Yuko suddenly realized: "I see. You said Yae took his father away, does that mean he has turned back into a human?"

Tamayo nodded with a smile.

"...Then can I turn back into a human directly?" Yuko asked after hesitating for a moment.

She wasn't unaware that the demon form was stronger, but if it were a human body, even if she lost to Muzan, she wouldn't allow Muzan to overcome sunlight.

She was less willing to take the risk than to possess the power of a ghost body.

She could already imagine Muzan's expression after he devoured her and realized it had no effect whatsoever.

Tamayo hesitated and shook her head.

Yuko looked puzzled: "Why?"

Shinobu Kocho breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she became puzzled.

She... didn't really want Yuko to turn back like that.

It wasn't because she wanted to continue petting Yuuko, but because Yuuko had developed her markings and was getting older.

If I were to turn back into a human, I probably wouldn't have much time left to live.

Although she is eighteen years old, she still has seven years until she turns twenty-five.

She didn't want to experience separation so soon.

“If it’s a mark, I… should have some time left.” As she said the second half of the sentence, Yuko also thought of Shinobu Kocho. She turned to look at Shinobu and finished the second half of her sentence with difficulty.

That's so unfair... to myself...

He had just confessed to Shinobu.

If she had known that Tamayo could actually develop a medicine to turn people back into humans, she probably wouldn't have confessed her feelings to Shinobu.

She never imagined that she could turn back into a human through medication.

Instead of answering, Tamayo asked, "If I remember correctly, Ikuko was seriously ill before she became a demon, right?"

She had spent a long time with Yuko and was very familiar with Yuko's past experiences.

Yuko frowned: "...That's true, but what does that have to do with me turning back into a human?"

With her right hand on her chest, Tamayo explained calmly, "Essentially, the reason why we, who are seriously ill, can become demons and overcome our diseases is because of the power of Muzan's cells."

"If it's Nezuko, she wasn't seriously injured before Muzan turned her into a demon; she only suffered from excessive blood injection. She should be able to recover quickly after using it."

"But we are different..."

Yu Zi understood. A serious expression appeared on her youthful face, and she subconsciously tugged at her clothes: "You mean, my lungs will have problems again?"

I really don't want to experience that kind of pain again.

Tamayo lowered her eyelids slightly: "That's right."

"No way." Yuko's smile was a little unnatural. "It's been so long, wasn't it already repaired by Muzan's cells?"

"So, he's just being kept alive by Muzan's cells."

"..."

"And I don't recommend you use this medicine." Tamayo took the medicine from Yuuko's hand and handed it to Shinobu Kocho. "Don't underestimate yourself. Yuuko, you're very strong. You won't lose to Muzan."

Yuko's lips twitched slightly: "Even though you trust me so much, do you really think I can defeat Muzan one-on-one?"

Could it be that Tamayo saw Muzan being instantly defeated by Yoriichi and thought that she, as his younger sister, could also instantly defeat Muzan?

If she could instantly defeat Muzan, would she still be considered his sister?

Everyone, including Yoriichi Iwakatsu, has to call her "Big Sister"!

Seeing Yuko's lack of confidence, Tamayo smiled slightly: "I will help you."

This child... has indeed changed a lot.

The Yuko of the past would never have so openly displayed such an insecure expression.

"Help me?" Yuko was a little confused. Tamayo, are you going to go up with her to fight Muzan?

Tamayo smiled slightly: "Shinobu and I have finished the medicine to weaken Muzan."

"Huh?" Yuko turned around in surprise to look at Shinobu Kocho. "When?"
