Chapter 157 It's none of our business
Older sister or something...
Yuko glanced at them sideways. These two guys really knew how to address people; they inexplicably made themselves a generation above Tanjiro.
Tanjiro didn't seem to notice anything amiss and just stared blankly at everyone.
Perhaps hearing the voices of his loved ones, the box placed behind Tanjiro suddenly shook restlessly twice.
Kamado Aoi paused for a moment, then pointed at the box behind Tanjiro, hesitatingly saying, "That...could it be Nezuko?"
Do you remember when Tanjiro and Nezuko left home two years ago, Nezuko's 'temporary residence' was a box she took from Ikuko's house?
"Ah~ I forgot!" Tanjiro realized what his mother was saying and hurriedly released Nezuko.
"I'm sorry, Nezuko."
Nezuko didn't notice her older brother's oversight. The moment she saw Kamado Hime, her eyes lit up and she rushed into his arms.
“Nezuko…” Kamado Hime gently stroked her back, “You’ve worked hard…”
Nezuko happily snuggled against her mother.
"Nezuko-neechan~" Hanako came up and hugged Nezuko from behind.
She asked in surprise, "Why has Nezuko gotten shorter?"
Hanako Kamado has grown quite a bit in the past two years, and now, holding Nezuko, who has just come out of the box, it looks like an older sister is holding her younger sister.
Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn't explain it.
Nezuko had just come out of the box and hadn't yet returned to her original size.
Yuko couldn't help but smile.
Nezuko left her mother's embrace, turned around and affectionately patted her younger sister's head, her body growing taller as she did so.
Hanako exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, my sister has grown taller!"
"Just like Princess Kaguya."
Princess Kaguya in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter grows from the size of a bamboo shoot into an adult in three months, which does bear some resemblance to her.
Nezuko's eyes curved into crescent moons as she looked down and patted her sister's head.
Then, her rose-red eyes looked at Sixth Wife, who was hiding behind her mother.
Rokuta Kamado looked nervously at the group of people who had suddenly barged into their house.
"Oh my, this is your older sister." Noticing Nezuko's gaze, Kamado Aoi smiled and pulled Rokuta out from behind her. "Your older sister Nezuko, who used to carry you when you were little."
"Nezuko-neechan?"
"Yes, that's Tanjiro-nii."
What a joyful family scene! It made Yu Zi realize the good deed she had done.
"By the way, where are Takeo and Shigeru?" Tanjiro asked, having not seen his two younger brothers for a long time.
Kamado Aoi said with a smile, "Shigeru went up the mountain to chop firewood with Takeo."
"That child said he wanted to help his family supplement their income; he's grown into a strong young man."
Yu Ziwei was taken aback and said, "Sister Kuizhi, didn't I leave some money in the closet in my room?"
She remembered that she had specifically instructed Kamado Aoi before she left.
Kamado Aoi stroked Rokuta's head and looked at Ikuko with a gentle expression: "We've already accepted Ikuko's kindness by being able to stay here, how can we spend Ikuko's money again?"
Yuko opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Such a kind person would not want to take advantage of you, and no matter how much you argue, he would still feel that it was wrong to do so.
Even if you express your dissatisfaction, some people will still take advantage of you and do as they please.
Put yourself in Yuko's shoes; she wouldn't want to eat and drink for free either.
Well, except for Yoriichi and Tamayo.
After all, they lived together.
……
Well, except for Ren.
After all, she helped the Demon Slayer Corps so much.
That's it.
Yuko nodded slightly, accepting Kamado Hime's kindness.
However, before she could do anything, three strange gazes came from the side.
Yuko turned her head and saw Tanjiro and the other two looking at her with subtle expressions.
Ikuko:?
"what happened?"
Tanjiro waved his hand: "No, there's nothing there..."
Zenitsu twitched the corner of his mouth: "Aoi-nee-san and stuff..."
"You old hag who's hundreds of years old, you really know how to act young." Inosuke lay lazily on the tatami mat, picking his nose, his wise eyes looking at Yuko.
Before Ikuko could react, Tanjiro and Zenitsu's expressions changed, and the two of them instantly moved far away from Inosuke.
They all shook their heads, sweating profusely: "It's none of our business!"
Kitchen stove sunflower branch: ?
What happened?
Inosuke, veins bulging on his forehead, jumped up from the ground and pointed at the two of them: "You two good-for-nothings! Did I say something wrong?"
Tanjiro and Zenitsu made no attempt to argue or retort; instead, they both looked at his back with expressions of fear.
Suddenly, Inosuke shuddered, his entire body trembling.
"Did you feel it?" Inosuke tilted his head to look back, his voice muffled. "There was a very scary gaze..."
Tanjiro shook his head frantically.
It's not a view at all!
Inosuke! Don't look back!!
boom! ! !
With a loud thud, even the floor shook.
……
A moment later, a suspicious creature appeared in the corner, its head covered in red bumps and foaming at the mouth.
Yu Zi sighed, "Honestly, she doesn't know how to talk at all. How is she going to interact with society like this?"
"You two agree, right?" She raised her fist and looked at Tanjiro and Tanjiro with a blank expression.
"That's right, that's right!" The two nodded frantically, repeating the same phrase.
Kamado Aoi smiled knowingly, "You two have a very good relationship."
Zenitsu broke out in a cold sweat. You call this a good relationship?
Tanjiro changed the subject, asking, "When will Takeo and the others be back?"
"I usually come back before sunset in the afternoon, and I bring my own lunch."
"I see." Tanjiro nodded in relief.
As long as I get home before nightfall, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Miss Yuko's house is surrounded by wisteria flowers, and it's located in a densely populated area of town, so ghosts generally wouldn't choose such a place to attack.
Kamado Aoi asked, "By the way, is there something you need to do back this time?"
Bringing so many people along, even if they might be close friends visiting, the fact that everyone is carrying swords at their waists suggests they're not visiting relatives.
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro instinctively looked at Ikuko.
Yuko explained, "There is a special plant on the mountain where you live, Sister Kuizhi. We've come here to find this plant."
"Do you need our help?" Kamado Aoi asked enthusiastically. "The residents nearby can also help."
Yu Zi shook her head and politely declined, saying, "No need, I know that plant is blooming there."
"It might take a few days."
Kamado Aoi said, both amused and exasperated, "This is Yuuko's house, how can it be considered an intrusion?"
