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

Chapter 556 People who like black tea aren't bad people.

"In short, this has nothing to do with Yoruichi. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me instead."

Yuko walked toward Kyoraku Shunsui with a righteous expression, extending her hands in a gesture of respect.

Kyoraku Shunsui: "..."

He suddenly regretted coming to check.

Why do you think he just happens to live near the Shihōin family's house?

He even felt like slapping himself.

However, while Kyoraku Shunsui failed to slap herself, Yoruichi did. She took two steps forward in annoyance, grabbed Yuuko and pulled her back, slapping her twice across the face.

Yuko covered her face, looking at her incredulously: "You hit me?"

Yoruichi roared, "I'll make you snap out of it!"

"..."

"But Yoruichi, won't this cause you trouble?"

Yoruichi glared at her fiercely, "What's so troublesome about this little thing? The biggest trouble is that you make me angry every day."

“Oh, this is no small matter.” Kyoraku Shunsui raised his hand. “Captain Yoruichi, would you please come with me with this beautiful lady?”

Yuko asked curiously, "Speaking of Yoruichi, who is this flamboyant old man?"

Yoruichi waved her hand casually: "This showy old man is just a showy old man, ignore him."

Kyoraku Shunsui was completely petrified: "Uncle, I'm going to cry."

Yoruichi sighed deeply, looking at Yuuko with a hint of resentment: "Although I never thought I could keep fooling everyone, it's been exposed so quickly. You're really too stupid, woman."

Kyoraku Shunsui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh~ what did I reveal? Captain Yoruichi, could you explain in detail?"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes at him. "There's nothing to say to you, you show-off old man. I'm taking this idiot to see the Captain-Commander first."

"Soi Fon, stay home and don't go out." After instructing Soi Fon, he dragged Yuko outside.

Outside the gates of the Shihouin family residence, a considerable number of Shinigami (death gods) have gathered, both openly and covertly.

Among them were even captain-level Grim Reapers wearing white coats.

Clearly, the light beam had attracted quite a few people.

Yoruichi nodded slightly to the group of Shinigami, indicating that she had greeted them.

Yuko saw Retsu Unohana standing not far away. He saw her too and smiled gently at her.

Yuko smiled back, then Yoruichi pulled her away.

Unohana looked at Kyoraku Shunsui, who was scratching his head with a sullen expression as he came out of the Shihōin residence, and asked curiously, "Was it that pretty little girl who released her Zanpakutō?"

Kyoraku Shunsui shrugged: "I don't know~"

"But it seems like I was humiliated."

"..."

The group of Grim Reapers remained silent for a moment, then dispersed in unison, with not one of them speaking up for Kyoraku Shunsui.

Unohana Retsu narrowed her eyes. That spiritual pressure undoubtedly did not belong to any captain-level Shinigami. She had met that white-haired girl before. Although the level of spiritual pressure was completely different, the aura was exactly the same.

interesting.

really interesting.

Let's go and see.

Besides Retsu Unohana, some captain-level Shinigami also showed hesitation on their faces.

I have a feeling this will be a great spectacle for gossip lovers.

……

Seireitei, the barracks of the First Division.

Yuko looked around curiously.

Yoruichi noticed this and chuckled, "Should I say you're shameless or just oblivious to your own mortality? You're about to die and you're still completely unaware."

"Um, can you give me a quick and painless way to die?"

"Pleasant? No way. Do you even know how to torture someone like you?" Yoruichi's face darkened. "Of course, it's by using a sealing technique to sink her into the sea."

Yuko: "...You really scared me a little."

Fortunately, her Shura Blade was placed in the Shihōin family's residence. Even if she were to die on the spot, she could be reborn using the remaining flesh and blood from the Shura Blade.

Her regeneration speed is now far beyond what Muzan can match.

There is nothing to restrain her; she can be reorganized in an instant.

Following Yoruichi's footsteps as she walked through the First Division, Ikuko couldn't help but ask again:

"Is that captain you mentioned really that powerful?"

"If he beats me up later, will you help me or him?"

Yoruichi's lips twitched. "If old man Yamamoto wanted to beat you up... even if I were included, I'd just be another punching bag."

Yu Zi said with some disdain, "You're supposed to be a captain, how can you be so weak?"

Yoruichi turned around and gave her a long, cold look: "...It's decided. You, the calamity who has trespassed into Seireitei, are going to die."

"Huh? You betrayed us so quickly?"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes: "Please, do you expect me to take a beating with you? I'm not as resilient as you."

"How heartless."

As the two were chatting, a middle-aged man with gray hair came up to them.

Yoruichi greeted her: "Vice Captain of the Sparrow Club."

Yu Zi smiled slightly and said, "Hello."

Chojiro Sasaki glanced at Yuuko and nodded slightly: "Excuse me, Captain Yoruichi, the Captain-Commander is waiting for you."

Having said that, he turned and led the way.

"Hey, Yoruichi, this vice-captain's spiritual pressure is stronger than yours." Yuuko saw through her Clear Vision the immense spiritual pressure existing within Chojiro Sasakibe's body.

"Why is the vice-captain better than you? Are you really a..."

Before Yuko could finish speaking, Yoruichi grabbed her cheek with a gloomy expression.

"You're really courting death even when you're about to die."

Yuko blinked.

Now it was Yoruichi's turn to not know what expression to make. She replied dejectedly, "The vice-captain of the Sparrow Division has been following the Captain-Commander for a long time. Although he is the vice-captain of the First Division, his actual combat strength is no less than that of a captain."

She paused for a moment, then added:

"...You heartless bastard, I was still a little worried about you, how could you be so shameless."

"Because I'm unkillable." At worst, she can resurrect at the Shihōin family's house and then run away.

"Hehe, you'll know how serious the problem is when you're roasted like a suckling pig."

"This captain you're talking about, he can't be that unreasonable, can he?" Yu Zi frowned. "I haven't done anything wrong."

"Besides, look, the white-haired uncle in front of us is very polite. There's no reason why he wouldn't be reasonable with the captain, right?"

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow and glanced at her: "What you said seems to make some sense. Well, you'd better pray for yourself later."

Chojiro Sasaki: "..."

Is he getting old? Why is it so hard to understand young people these days?

"excuse me."

Standing in front of the Captain-Commander's door, Chojiro Sasaki gracefully knocked on the door, then opened the door and went inside.

As soon as Yuko entered the house, she was drawn to the old man wielding a bamboo knife in the courtyard outside.

Looking at that massive, battle-worn body, Yu Zi gasped, "I feel like he could kill me with one punch."

"Take the feeling away."

Yoruichi, influenced by Yuuko, replied with a sarcastic remark, then glared at her before heading towards the Captain-Commander.

"Excuse me, Captain-Commander, I have brought the culprit who unleashed the Zanpakuto within the Seireitei."

Yu Zi's eyes widened: "I treated you as a good friend, and you used me to gain military merit?"

Yoruichi turned around, her brows furrowing slightly: "Hmm? Who are you?"

Ikuko: "..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stopped swinging his bamboo sword, picked up a towel placed to the side to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took the coat from Chojiro Sasaki and put it on, went into the house, and shifted his gaze from Yoruichi to Ikuko.

Yuko smiled sheepishly: "Grandpa, although I am already six, five, four hundred years old, I heard Yoruichi say that you have lived for a thousand years. Is it okay to call you that?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni opened his mouth, then suddenly realized he seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly at Ikuko's words.

Yoruichi almost collapsed. She thought that Yuuko had already pushed herself to the limit in front of her, but she didn't expect that she would still be doing something like that to the Captain-Commander.

And why are you getting younger and younger?!

"Actually, it was all just a small misunderstanding. I had no idea that the Zanpakuto that Yoruichi stole could actually be named just by uttering a few words."

"I don't even know why it starts firing light cannons when I say its name."

"Steal?" Yoruichi's eyes widened. "Me, a member of the prestigious Shihouin family, taking a single asabu is considered stealing?"

"Huh? It wasn't stolen after all?"

Seeing Yuuko's disappointed expression, Yoruichi finally realized: "Slander me? You bastard, you're trying to slander me, aren't you!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni suddenly felt a headache coming on and tapped his cane.

dong dong!

Two muffled sounds, each carrying a hint of spiritual pressure, interrupted the two noisy individuals.

"What exactly happened?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni turned his gaze to Yoruichi. "I need an explanation."

Yoruichi awkwardly stopped what she was doing. "Um, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, do you believe in ghosts?"

A question mark appeared above Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's head.

Chojiro Sasakibe brewed tea for the three of them.

"Thank you, eh?" Yuko took the tea and thanked him subconsciously, then paused for a moment, "Is this black tea?"

Yuko took a sip of her tea: "And the taste is excellent. It must be carefully selected tea leaves, right?"

Chojiro Suzaku stood there, stunned, then turned to Yamamoto and said, "There's no mistake."

"Hmm?" Yamamoto looked over in confusion.

"People who like black tea can't be bad people."

"..."

“Miss, you have a very discerning eye. This tea is something I brought back from the mortal world, and I will only use it to entertain the Captain.”

"Oh, then I'm truly honored."

Yoruichi, Yamamoto: "..."

That guy, Yuko...

That guy from the Sparrow Division...

Are you out of your mind?

Is this what it turned out to be like?

……

After a moment of silence, Yamamoto decided to steer the conversation back on track and looked at Yoruichi again: "What do you mean by 'demon'?"

Yoruichi didn't know how to describe it for a moment. "Emmm, it doesn't mean anything. It's just that it's very special. Like a Hollow, it has high-speed regeneration, but it retains self-awareness and its emotions are quite anthropomorphic. It also eats human food and has the same interests and hobbies as humans."

You're probably referring to humans, right?

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni ultimately did not say those words aloud.

"excuse me."

Just then, a gentle female voice came from outside the door.

Then, without waiting for Yamamoto's consent, Unohana Retsu, with a gentle smile on her face, and Kyoraku Shunsui, looking sullen, walked in from outside.

Retsu Unohana greeted Ikuko first: "It's nice to see you again, miss."

She squinted her eyes, radiating a gentle and peaceful maternal aura.

"Hello, Captain Unohana, I didn't expect to meet you so soon." Yuuko smiled. "Regarding your invitation for me to defect from the Second Division, what do you think now?"

Yoruichi's temple bulged with veins: "Is there something you're unhappy about with me?"

Unohana Retsu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Miss is joking. How could I dare to compete with Captain Yoruichi for someone?"

"Eh? There's tea?" Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled and grabbed the black tea that originally belonged to Yamamoto from the table.

Yamamoto suddenly felt his head hurting more and more, so he slammed his cane hard on the ground.

Boom!

The spiritual pressure seemed to materialize, causing everyone to fall silent.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Yamamoto looked at Yoruichi again: "Let's continue our previous topic."

Ye paused for a moment: "First, tell me whether you believe it or not."

"What?" Yamamoto frowned, then remembered that she seemed to be asking whether he believed in the existence of ghosts and monsters.

"So what if I believe?"

"That makes things easier." Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Yuuko on the back. "Come on, give the Captain-Commander a performance."

Yu Zi, holding a cup of black tea, looked puzzled: "What are you performing?"

"It's the one with horns growing on its head." Yoruichi raised both index fingers and gestured to her head.

"Oh, okay."

Everyone was drawn to the two's conversation. What did "horns growing on the head" mean literally?

Just as Yu Zi was about to teach them a lesson, she suddenly paused: "Wait, can't we change it?"

A thin vein appeared on Yamamoto's forehead.

He now seriously suspects that these two idiots are there to mock him.

Yoruichi noticed the change in Yamamoto's aura and asked in a panic, "W-why?!"

“Look, you stabbed me when I turned back into my original form, and my chest still hurts.” Yuko counted on her fingers. “Then Kisuke saw it and made a huge fuss.”

"If I were to transform myself in front of this old man, would he also start yelling about Vastod and then stab me in the back?"

Yoruichi followed Yuuko's line of thought and found it surprisingly reasonable.

“Vastow?” Kyoraku Shunsui frowned. “That must be the highest-ranking Hollow, right?”

"What does this have to do with this young lady?"

Yuko replied straightforwardly, "Because Yoruichi said I look a lot like Vasto Lorde."

Kyoraku Shunsui: "With Wastodd..."

Chojiro Sasaki: "He looks..."

"Very similar?" asked Retsu Unohana and the other two.

What does it mean?

They can understand each word individually, but why is it that when they are put together, they become incomprehensible?

Yoruichi rubbed her temples and looked at Yamamoto: "Captain-Commander, please control yourself no matter what you see from now on."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded slightly.

He wants to see what you're really up to.
