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

Chapter 276 Zenitsu, the Brave One

Tanjiro shook his head and nodded: "That old man hasn't committed suicide yet."

"But he wrote back, hoping that Zenitsu could prepare well for this special training and defeat Muzan Kibutsuji."

"He didn't want Zenitsu to worry because of his own affairs."

"He rejected Zenitsu's offer in his words and deliberately emphasized that he did not want him to go back."

The topic of a disciple becoming a demon and the master having to commit seppuku was too heavy, so much so that even Shinazugawa Sanemi, who didn't get along with Yuuko, lost the desire to argue with her, and his face darkened.

Everyone hopes to raise a disloyal and unrighteous beast.

Ikuko wasn't surprised by Tanjiro's words.

As Shinobu Kocho said, Tanjiro and Zenitsu probably won't be able to persuade Mr. Kuwajima so easily.

If that old man is truly willing to listen to Zenitsu, he will definitely consider this outstanding child even if Zenitsu doesn't contact him.

Didn't he know that Zenitsu would be saddened by his suicide?

Just like those who commit suicide, didn't they think about their parents and children?

If someone really couldn't go on living, why would they want to commit suicide?

In the eyes of people in this era, there are some things that have to be done.

This isn't about rules or laws; it's about ideology.

Nezuko pursed her lips: "Zenitsu-nii, I originally wanted to rush back..."

Yuko looked at Tanjiro with some confusion. Shouldn't you say something to make him go back now?

We can't just be so obedient, can we?

This doesn't seem like the protagonist of a shonen manga.

Tanjiro didn't know what Ikuko was thinking, but he subconsciously replied, "Actually, I also hoped that he could go back, but that was Zenitsu's decision."

"It's probably too late to rush back now," Shinobu Kocho said, shaking her head slightly.

If that old man from Sangdao Island was truly aware of the situation... no, it should be said that this was a dead end from the start.

We can't get back in time, and we can't stop it.

Even if Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave the order directly, it would most likely not be able to stop him from committing seppuku.

Those are the rules and regulations passed down through generations of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Those who survive will inevitably face criticism and disdain from others.

Wow~

Just as everyone fell silent, and all that could be heard was Inosuke eating without a care in the world, the cafeteria door was suddenly opened.

Zenitsu Agatsuma appeared at the door with a head of messy blond hair and a dejected expression that made him look like he had been abandoned by someone...

In a sense, that is indeed the meaning.

Seeing that he had finally come out, Nezuko quickly walked over.

"Brother Zenitsu!"

Zenitsu looked up at her blankly: "Nezuko, I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"

There was none of the perverted behavior he had shown before.

unusual.

This was the thought of everyone present.

That idiot is definitely not that normal.

Sure enough, even when she heard that he was finally willing to eat, Nezuko couldn't smile. Instead, she looked at him with worry.

Zenitsu received no response and had no intention of saying anything more. He simply walked over to the group and sat down beside them.

Seeing this, Nezuko went to serve him rice.

Zenitsu, seeing that they hadn't even touched their chopsticks, looked up and asked, "Eat? Why aren't you eating? What are you all doing just staring at me?"

"Zenitsu..." Tanjiro opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

How can I comfort her?

He had absolutely no idea how to comfort him.

Ultimately, there's no way to comfort someone like that.

Zenitsu forced a smile: "What are you thinking? I'm not that weak."

"This is the old man's own choice, and I should respect it."

Everyone: "..."

I had absolutely no idea how to start the conversation.

This guy was pretending nothing was wrong.

Just then, Yuko suddenly raised her hand and slapped Zenitsu across the face.

The speed and suddenness of the attack left everyone present with no time to react, let alone Zenitsu, whose mind was in complete disarray.

There was a sharp cracking sound, and Zenitsu was knocked to the ground.

The crowd looked at Yuko with expressions of shock, disbelief, confusion, or fear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" Zenitsu was jolted awake by a slap, his cheek throbbing with pain, and he rolled around on the ground.

Finally, he got up and angrily demanded, "You bastard! What are you doing?!"

Everyone was stunned again.

He's so brave!

I've never seen Zenitsu so brave before.

In the past, when facing Yu Zi, I was either flattering her or fawning over her, and I didn't dare to utter a single swear word.

Yu Zi said expressionlessly, "It will feel better if you cry it out."

Everyone: "???"

Then why did you hit him?!

Zenitsu paused for a moment: "Does this have anything to do with you hitting me for no reason?"

Yu Zi said calmly, "If you feel pain, you'll probably cry more easily."

Zenitsu couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you a devil? How could you possibly cry like that?"

The crowd initially wanted to second his proposal; it was indeed quite devilish.

But upon seeing Zenitsu's face, they all stopped and pointed at it.

Zenitsu couldn't help but touch the corner of his eye, and there were indeed tears welling up. He flew into a rage: "It hurts, you bastard!!!"

Yuko: "So, you cried?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa: He was certain that this woman was indeed a devil.

Genya Shinazugawa: How terrifying.

Tanjiro: How scary.

Kanae Butterfly: Pain can indeed make you cry.

Shinobu Kocho: Ikuko is so cool.

Zenitsu was exasperated, getting angrier and angrier, until he was practically driven crazy by Ikuko.

His entire body involuntarily exuded an aura of darkness.

Yu Zi lowered her eyebrows and explained, "I'm not very good at talking, but I think everyone can relate to the feeling of losing a loved one."

"Crying out is indeed a good method, and there is scientific evidence to support it."

What the heck was that last sentence?!

The beginning sounded quite nice, but the last sentence, "There's scientific evidence," completely ruined the atmosphere!

Everyone thought to themselves.

Zenitsu's expression froze, and his eyes dimmed: "I know."

Everyone is suffering because of this.

Everyone is working hard to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

“But…” Zenitsu Gasai lowered his head, his hands clenched unnaturally, his teeth grinding together, “But I just don’t understand.”

"That beast, he knew perfectly well that if he betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps, Grandpa would die."

Some things, with just a little guidance, will naturally become more and more effective.

Tears dripped onto the floor, and when Zenitsu looked up, his face was already blurred with tears.

Seeing this, Yuko was stunned for a moment.

An unwanted memory also surfaced in my mind.

Yu Zi smiled faintly: "...Our experiences might actually be quite similar."
