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

Chapter 274 Talking Nonsense

Seeing Shinobu's overly concerned expression, as if she were afraid Shinobu would be wronged, Ikuko was both amused and exasperated.

“Getting back to the main point.” Yuko clapped her hands and looked at Himejima Gyomei. “Although I was hoping she would thank me, at that time I could actually understand her fear.”

Just as Shinobu Kocho said, although she didn't look scary at the time.

But a ghost is a ghost; anything that can harm you is a monster, no matter how beautiful it is.

"So even if she had run away, I wouldn't have cared."

Yuko worried that Himejima Gyomei might think she was mocking him, so she explained, "Our situations are somewhat different. I am the embodiment of her fear, while you were originally the savior of those children."

"So Mr. Beiming Island, just take this as a story and don't take my words to heart."

"I think those children will thank you for this once they understand the truth."

What a kind person...

Himejima Gyomei stared blankly at Ikuko, though he couldn't see her.

But he could sense Yuko's feelings.

With a slight upturn of his lips and his eyes half-closed, Ximingjima Xingming clasped his hands together and said, "As everyone has said, Miss Yuko is indeed a kind person."

Yuko paused for a moment, looking somewhat awkward: "No... I was just stating a fact, I didn't mean anything else."

Kindness and such sounds a bit too sentimental.

It's fine to use it to describe others, but when others use it to describe herself, Yuko feels a little embarrassed.

Shinobu Kocho suddenly asked, "Does Ikuko still remember that person's name?"

"that person?"

"The person that Yuko saved."

“Ah, you said… you’ve already forgotten it~” Yuko stopped herself from blurting out the name, and said helplessly, “After all, at least four hundred years have passed.”

Shinobu Kocho looked at her sadly: "No way, Yuuko clearly remembers it, doesn't she?"

“…Really?” Yuko paused for a moment, as if thinking. “Because I was turned into a ghost, I remember it more clearly.”

Then, she filled in the gap in her words: "Of course, it's just that my memory of the events is relatively clear. If you ask me for the girl's name, I really don't remember."

Yuko tilted her head and tentatively asked, "Yuko? Hanako? Or Momotaro? Like Ripper or something?"

Shinobu Kocho's temple bulged with veins: "You've gone too far with this, haven't you? The last two are clearly not!"

She knew Yu Zi was talking nonsense, but those two names after her didn't even sound like girls' names.

The last one was the worst.

What is Libawang? Why would anyone think a girl should have such a name?

The fact that Yuko remembers it so vividly doesn't seem like it's made up. Surely such an outrageous name doesn't actually exist, right?

Seeing Shinobu's expression, which was a mixture of anger and sadness, Ikuko remained silent for a moment: "...Namiko, that girl's name."

Shinobu Kocho's angry expression froze for a moment, then softened: "Do you feel sad?"

"Hmm." Yuko closed her eyes slightly.

Ultimately, how could this not be painful, even though she could understand?

With her forward-thinking values, she could fully understand Namiko's fears.

But it didn't affect her inner depression.

Shinobu opened her mouth, about to say something, when Yuko suddenly said, "Because she kicked me before she ran away, almost knocking me flat on my back."

"I hold grudges, so I remember her name clearly. She's a despicable woman."

"..."

Shinobu's gentle expression froze on her face, and after a moment she looked at Ikuko speechlessly.

Honestly, he just talks nonsense when it comes to this kind of thing.

How could someone with such a pretty face say such absurd things, like lying on their back with their legs in the air?

Shinobu Kocho even suspected that Ikuko had been corrupted by Zenitsu and Inosuke.

When those two idiots come over, we must make sure Mr. Beimingyu gives them a good beating.

The butterfly thought about it resentfully for a moment, then sighed inwardly.

She clearly wanted to share the burden with Yuko.

Sometimes, sharing sad things with a friend can lighten the burden considerably.

Just like Mr. Beimingyu couldn't help but confide in them about his past.

Yuko is different. She'll share halfway through, and when you can't help but care about her, she'll start rambling on and on, turning what was originally a sad story into something like a comedy.

But this time, Shinobu Kocho wasn't going to let her go. She opened her mouth, about to speak.

Unaware of her own premonition, Yu Zi forcibly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, my blood can heal external injuries, and perhaps it can heal Mr. Himejima's eyes. Would you like to give it a try?"

Yuko didn't suddenly think of this when she was looking for an excuse; she had had this idea for a long time, but she hadn't had much interaction with Beiming Island before.

She already had this idea in mind for this special training.

Yuko glanced furtively at Shinobu's reaction, her forehead beaded with sweat, and said, "If you can restore your eyesight, it might be able to help you."

Butterfly paused for a moment, not noticing Ikuko's strange reaction.

He subconsciously swallowed the words that were about to come out.

As Yuko said, if his eyesight could be restored, Mr. Himejima would no longer have to suffer the pain of darkness.

Get down to business, get down to business.

Shinobu Kocho comforted herself with this thought, deciding to put Yuuko's problem aside for now and deal with her later.

Hearing what Yuko said, Himejima Gyomei was also taken aback.

To be honest, even though he knew that Yu Zi's blood could heal external injuries, he had never thought about this question.

Perhaps he had long been used to it.

"Thank you very much for your help, but please allow me to decline." After a moment of silence, Himejima Gyomei clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Yuuko to express his gratitude.

Shinobu Kocho interjected, "Why not give it a try, Mr. Himejima?"

"If my eyes can be healed, it might be helpful in the final battle against Muzan."

Himejima Gyomei shook his head. "These eyes are not lacking in the ability to see the world clearly."

Yu Zi pondered for a moment: "Alright, perhaps after you're fully healed, you'll need some time to adjust to your eyes."

Hei Meijima Gyomei is already used to the perspective of a blind person, so if he were to regain his sight, he might experience some discomfort in the short term.

Just like some blind people who, after regaining their sight, still can't walk.

“Amitabha.” Beimingyu Xingming put his hands together in affirmation of Yuzi’s words.

Yuko picked up the box at her feet: "But please accept these potions and distribute them to the swordsmen."

Yuko added, still not entirely reassured, "If you need to use those eyes in a critical situation, you can try putting the medicine into them."

Himejima Gyomei did not reject Yuuko's kindness, and nodded slightly: "I understand."
