Demon Slayer: The Journey of Becoming Yoichi's Sister

She didn't know exactly how tall Shinobu Kocho was, but she was definitely less than 1.6 meters tall.

The person in front of her was definitely taller than that.

And... that strange sword shape didn't look like the breath of insects. It was light and the sword energy was blooming like a flower.

Yuko couldn't help but walk two steps faster.

Yuko finally saw the girl wearing the Kocho haori clearly. She had gorgeous long hair and was definitely not the Kocho Shinobu she remembered.

She didn't have a good memory, but some scenes could still be remembered as long as she went through them again in her mind.

However, this girl was definitely related to Shinobu Kocho. They looked alike and she was wearing Shinobu Kocho's haori.

Maybe it was a relic inherited from her... a legacy.

As she approached, she heard Douma's annoying voice.

"You're really trying hard~"

He was playing.

The girl in front of her has the strength of a pillar, and Yuko has no doubt about it, but she is unlucky. She happened to meet the upper string among the evil spirits second only to Muzan, and Douma, whose ability is extremely restrained by the breathing method.

After more than a hundred years, Douma has successfully promoted from the upper string six to the upper string two.

Yuko hesitated for a moment and did not choose to attack immediately.

The upper string two is the guy second only to Kokushibo.

She was not sure that she could defeat the enemy with one blow. If she let Douma take her information back to Muzan, then her years of dormancy would be in vain.

At least, she had to wait until Tanjiro grew up.

She could only see if there was a chance to save the girl in front of her.

Since she had decided to change something, she would no longer be indifferent to such things.

Yuko looked at the horizon, and it was about to dawn.

Douma was still teasing the girl in front of him with a relaxed look.

To be honest, if the timeline is pushed forward to before Douma became a demon, Ikuko might have a chance to straighten his brain.

He is a chaotic and evil person.

If this guy wants to play again, Ikuko will try to keep him.

The girl in front of him seemed to realize this and took the initiative to talk to him.

"You, can't feel human emotions?"

The first thing he said was a bomb.

Douma was almost unconsciously stunned, causing him to be cut on the chin by the girl's sword.

Douma retreated violently, caressing his recovered chin carelessly.

"Many years ago, someone seemed to have said the same thing to you."

"Come to think of it, I suddenly realized that you are a bit like her." Douma suddenly looked at the girl with interest, "You are both the type who can communicate with me calmly."

"Much better than other ghost hunters who get blinded by anger when they meet."

"It's a pity that you are both women, otherwise, I might have two friends." Douma wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yuko felt a little cold and had goose bumps.

The girl adjusted her breathing and asked, "Did you eat her?"

Douma said with a regretful tone, "No, that guy got away immediately after he noticed my ability."

His ability?

Isn't it ice?

The girl looked calm on the surface, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

Her calmness did not deceive Douma.

Douma smiled and fanned his face, "Although we have similar personalities, you are far inferior in strength and acumen."

"Back then, I was waiting for her to appear in front of me again. Unfortunately, over the past 100 years, that woman has not appeared again."

"Maybe she died in some unknown corner."

"By the way, miss, can you tell me your name?" Douma said with regret, "I was depressed for many years because I couldn't ask that person's name back then."

The girl who wanted to say her name decisively shut her mouth.

Douma covered his face and looked at the horizon.

"It's almost dawn, we have to leave before the sun rises."

As he said that, Douma turned his head and looked at her without any emotion.

The girl's pupils shrank suddenly, and her whole body trembled.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

It became thick and depressing.

This is... Upper String Two!

She will die.

Yuko placed her right hand on the Sun Blade.

"Blood Demon Art·Mysterious Winter Ice Pillar!"

Dou Ma waved his iron fan, and a bunch of ice spikes attacked the girl like a rainstorm.

The girl tried to avoid it with her legs, but her body suddenly stopped.

Yuko narrowed her eyes slightly, and the impact on her lungs... came!

It became difficult to breathe.

The girl felt dizzy, but the ice spikes on her head did not stop.

At the moment when Yuko wanted to attack, her clear vision clearly saw the changes in the girl's eyes.

This is...

"Flower Breathing·Final Form·Red Eyes on the Other Shore!"

The girl's pupils became strange, with a circle of blood red around the outline., dodging the ice spikes one by one at a very extreme angle.

"Amazing~ This is a move I've never seen before." Douma exclaimed as he approached the girl at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

So fast!

The strange eyes saw Douma's figure clearly, but he was too fast.

This angle... can't be avoided.

...

No, there is still that move.

...

Suddenly, the rhythm of the girl's breathing changed.

Hmm?

A trace of white air came out of the girl's mouth.

Yuko was slightly stunned.

When the end of Douma's iron fan touched the girl's snow-white and fragile neck, the girl's attack was also swung out.

"Snow Breathing·Eighth Form·Uninterrupted Snow."

A trace of extremely fast white line quickly brushed Douma's neck.

The two figures crossed each other.

Douma looked at the girl who fell powerlessly, covering his neck in surprise, and blood was constantly flowing out through his fingers.

Too shallow.

The girl had regrets in her eyes, blood gushing out of her mouth, and the sharp iron fan also scratched her neck.

Douma didn't care about the wound on her neck, and smiled and said, "What was that just now?"

"I've never seen a breathing method and sword form before."

He was interested in asking again, but the girl didn't have the strength to respond to him.

Douma sighed and looked at the sky with some regret.

I can't eat it anymore.

It's been many years, and I finally met such a woman again.

I can't kill it.

Yuko stared at the horizon. Before the sun rose, Douma had already left.

She was not sure that she could keep Upper String Two, who was determined to escape, unless she exposed the fact that she was not afraid of the sun.

But fortunately, the girl in front of her could still be saved.

Yuko was about to walk out of the shadows, and a petite figure passed by her, leaving a scent of wisteria.

"Sister!"

The petite girl came late and hurriedly helped her sister up.

Yes, Shinobu Kocho.

This time it was right.

Although she hadn't put on the familiar haori yet, her appearance perfectly matched the image deep in Yuko's mind.

The Insect Pillar of the Taisho Nine Pillars.

Shinobu Kocho helped her sister Kanae up with tears in her eyes. As a doctor, she could see her sister's injuries at once.

Too serious.

"Who! Who did it!" Shinobu Kocho shouted in tears and anger.

"Shinobu..." Kanae stretched out her hand to wipe her sister's tears and tried her best to say, "Leave the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Although you work hard... really hard, but..."

"Shinobu may..."

lose to that demon.
