SFS Chapter 537 Miss Yuko was originally a ghost.
Chapter 537 Miss Yuko was originally a ghost.
"Really?" Yu Zi looked a little embarrassed. She was afraid that she would scare the child if she transformed later, so she changed the subject.
"I'll go and process the wild boar first, and then we can have roasted wild boar later, how about that?" Yu Zi gave what she thought was a very kind smile.
She seemed quite gentle, but Kanata Kamado wasn't about to let the matter drop so easily.
"Prove you're a ghost first!"
Yu Zi pursed her lips, squatted down, and said softly, "You know what? In most supernatural tales, when the protagonist encounters monsters or ghosts in the mountains, he is initially very normal and is even treated well by them."
"They were killed only after the protagonist discovered their true identities."
Kamado was startled by Ikuko's sudden approach, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He instinctively took a step back, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Who are you trying to fool!"
There are no ghosts in this world!
Yu Zi looked at the woman beside her, who was already somewhat dazed, and asked, "Madam, do you believe in ghosts?"
The woman nodded subconsciously, then, recalling what Yu Zi had just said, shook her head even faster.
"No, I don't believe it. How could there be ghosts in this world?" She said this, but her actions were anything but hesitant. She pulled Kazuma Kaname back behind her, protecting him, and stared at Yuko with trembling eyes.
She was starting to believe it a little, because she found that her son seemed to be right.
What normal person would settle down in such a situation?
“Hmm~” Yu Zi pondered for a moment, “Let’s roast the pig first. I bought the seasonings.”
As she spoke, Yuko pulled a bag out from behind her back.
Yu Zi smiled apologetically: "I'm so sorry I didn't consider your and the child's tastes at lunchtime."
The woman paused, a ghost going to buy seasonings... she'd never seen one like that before...
So this lady is actually human?
However, the person behind him, on the other side of the stove, was now on the verge of goosebumps.
"You said you went to buy it? It takes at least two hours to get from here to the city down the mountain and back!"
A ghost! This woman really is a ghost!
The woman's eyes widened; now that she heard it, it did seem to be true.
Yu Zi scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Then... I'll go first..."
At this moment, Kamado Tanjiro, whether awakened by their noise or simply having just woken up, stretched and got up.
"Ah! It's already dark!"
"Wow! What a huge wild boar!"
With two exclamations in succession, Tanjiro Kamado, unable to stop him from going any further, jumped down the corridor and ran towards Ikuko.
Kamado, his scalp tingling, stretched out his hand: "Wait, Tanihiko! That woman is a demon!"
Tanjiro Kamado had already run up to Ikuko, then turned around and looked at the mother and son, who were quite frightened, in the corridor with a puzzled expression.
Yuko stood behind Tanjiro Kamado. From Kamado's perspective, she wore a white dress, which, combined with the dark forest in the distance behind her, made her look like a demon about to reveal her hideous face and devour Tanjiro.
Tanjiro Kamado looked confused: "What are you talking about, Kanata? Ikuko-san is a demon."
Not only Kamado and her son, but even Ikuko was stunned.
"When did Tanyan discover it?" Yuko asked curiously.
Kamado Tanjiro scratched his head sheepishly: "That's what everyone said when I was sleeping."
Yuko's eyes brightened slightly. Sure enough, this child possessed the same talent as Tanjiro, able to see the memories of his ancestors.
"Don't worry, Kanata, Mom." Tanjiro Kamado finally noticed Kanata and her mother's tense expressions and waved his hand. "Miss Ikuko is a good demon."
Kamado suddenly calmed down.
"Tanyan, you wouldn't be playing a prank on me and Mom along with this woman, would you?"
He was starting to doubt it again, because it just didn't make sense no matter how he looked at it!
How could Tanyan know so much about this?
Kamado Tanjiro quickly waved his hand: "No, I'm not lying to you."
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Ah!" The woman screamed in fright.
Under the moonlight, a pair of sharp demon horns slowly emerged from Yuko's head, and her golden eyes gradually split apart, with two pupils in one eye sticking together to form a pair of golden double pupils.
The freckles that she had been trying to conceal on her face also began to appear.
Over the years, Yuko has not remained completely unchanged.
It's unclear whether the change was spontaneous or caused by her intentional dieting.
At first, only the blemishes on her face could be concealed, but then her golden eyes gradually split, and she began to revert to her original appearance.
However, because his hair color has remained in a completely demonic state, it has been completely changed.
She could feel her power diminishing, because there were signs of decay appearing in her white hair, just like Muzan's hair was aging under Tamayo's aging drug.
A few dry, gray hairs could be faintly seen among her beautiful, smooth hair.
Seeing this miraculous transformation, both Kamado and the woman were trembling.
Tanjiro Kamado turned around and saw Ikuko's change in expression. He then looked at his brother and mother's expressions and quickly ran to them.
He reminded her, "Don't worry! Sister Yuzi is the one standing behind Great-Grandpa in that group photo!"
When Kamado Tanjiro said that, the two of them stared blankly at Ikuko, who was standing still.
It seems... that's really true.
Because her markings were concealed and her hairstyle had been changed, neither of them recognized Yuko; they only vaguely felt that they had seen her somewhere before.
photo?
Yuko suddenly realized: "That's right, I also kept a copy of that photo."
"Eh?"
Yu Zi smiled and said, "Come with me."
She left the wild boar outside and walked back into the house.
The crowd quickly made way for her, as she was clearly still recovering.
Perhaps the length of the corners wasn't taken into account when the door was built, because when Yuko entered, the horn got caught on the door frame and she almost fell.
"Hiss~" Yu Zi scratched her head, put away the demon horn, and looked at them somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, it's been too long since I've turned back, I'm a little not used to it."
Kamado and the woman stared blankly as Yuko went into the house, and suddenly they felt no longer afraid.
If all ghosts are this stupid, then... then there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Without a word, Tanjiro Kamado followed him inside, and the woman and Kanata Kamado could only hurry after him.
Upon entering the storage room, Yuko rummaged through it for a while.
"Ah! Found it!" Yuko pulled out the photo from a pile of clutter. Although it hadn't been carefully protected, it was surprisingly undamaged.
Yuko placed the photo in front of everyone: "This is it."
Upon seeing the photo, the fear in the three of them vanished instantly.
"These two are your ancestors, Kamado Tanjiro and Tsuyuri Kanao."
"And this person is Nezuko Kamado, Tanjiro's sister."
Kamado swallowed hard. "So, all these people are..."
Yuko nodded slightly: "Yes, most of the people here are members of the Demon Slayer Corps, which are responsible for slaying evil spirits."
"Basic?"
"Because I'm a ghost."
"..." You still know that?!
The woman asked curiously, "Is your name really Yuko?"
“Yes, Yuko, Tsugikuni Yuko.” Yuko nodded with a smile. “The first time I met the ancestors of the Kamado family was during the Warring States period, also on this mountain.”
"Speaking of which, the Zaomen family has been living on this mountain for hundreds of years."
As soon as she finished speaking, both Kamado Kanata and the woman were stunned.
The Warring States period?
Oda Nobunaga?!
"So, actually, our two families have a pretty good relationship." Yuko smiled and patted Kamado Kanata on the shoulder. "I wouldn't eat someone I know well."
Kamado's face paled: "What about the ones that aren't cooked?"
Yu Zi chuckled: "Uncooked food doesn't taste good. Although most ghosts like to eat humans raw, I'm an exception."
Kanata Kamado's face paled even more, while Tanihiko Kamado chuckled to himself.
"By that time, Miss Yuko is just trying to scare you. She never eats people."
"How do you know everything?" Kamado Kanata discovered the blind spot; he realized that Tanihiko seemed to know this woman's appearance very well.
Yuko patted Tanyan's head again and explained, "Tanyan must have inherited his ancestor's talent, which allows him to see his ancestor's memories in his dreams."
The two were stunned: "Is this true?"
Is this logical?
Is this really reasonable?
Just as Kamado Tanjiro was about to nod, his stomach growled loudly.
Yu Zi raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the woman: "Madam, please have a seat. I'll go deal with the wild boar right away."
The woman quickly said, "Let me help."
Modern people are generally more accepting, and the two quickly returned to their previous attitudes.
"That will be troublesome." Yu Zi smiled slightly.
Knowing that Tanjiro could see her ancestors' memories, she knew that even decades later, the Kamado family would still understand her.
No, it should be said that even if one cannot see the memories of their ancestors, it is still the same.
With generations of inheritance and the gentle family traditions of the Zaomen family, how bad could the children they raise be?
"Did Miss Yuko really go to the city just now?" the woman asked curiously while helping to deal with the wild boar.
"Yes, I bought some seasonings at the nearest supermarket."
"It's unbelievable, that's so fast."
Kamado Kanata retorted, "Did you pay me?"
"Yes, they gave it to him, and the boss even made a fortune."
Kamado looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"Hmm...Could you please look in the storeroom for a small brown box?"
Hesitantly left from the other side of the stove, and returned carrying a wooden box.
He asked curiously, "What's inside?"
"A dried-up kappa finger~"
Kamado almost couldn't resist throwing the box away.
Seeing his reaction, Yu Zi couldn't help but smile: "Gold and jewelry, of course."
This child's personality is more like Yushiro's; he's the type who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Although Kanao is the same, in terms of eloquence, this kid is probably miles ahead of Kanao.
Kamado opened the box, and sure enough, it contained jewelry, gold, and other precious stones that nearly blinded him.
"Pick whichever one you like." Yu Zi narrowed her eyes. "Madam, there should be some nice jewelry inside. Please pick one out as well."
The woman quickly waved her hand: "How can this be! Bifang, put the box back immediately."
The person outside the stove didn't seem to care about choosing anything; they simply took the box and went back inside.
Yuko just smiled and didn't say anything; she wasn't surprised.
None of the people she knows are greedy for money, not even that blond guy.
The woman stood up and said, "Miss Yuko, I'll go boil some water."
"No need, madam."
Yu Zi picked up the cleaver, and after a few flashes of light, the wild boar was gutted and its hair was cleaned off.
The woman stared blankly for a moment, then couldn't help rubbing her eyes: "What just happened?"
"Well, because I'm a ghost, this kind of little thing is nothing to me."
Is this reasonable?
Is it really possible to shave all body hair off in an instant?
The woman discovered that although this Miss Yuko was a ghost, her cooking skills were surprisingly amazing. She had only made simple wild vegetable soup at noon, but now her skills in preparing wild boar were no different from those of a master chef.
Even in terms of knife skills, the chef can't even come close.
She had almost no chance to intervene, only helping Yuko hand over some things.
After cleaning the wild boar, Yuko rummaged through the storage room but couldn't find an iron rack suitable for roasting it.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Miss Yuko? Is there a problem?" The woman noticed Yuko's troubles.
Yu Zi honestly replied, "Yeah, I couldn't find the barbecue grill."
Kamado, sitting in the hallway, asked, "So how did you grill before?"
"They usually eat it raw, hair and blood included."
Kamado rolled his eyes. He wasn't stupid; he couldn't keep being tricked like this.
Everyone says they don't eat people anymore, but he doesn't...
Wait a minute, pigs aren't human either!
Could it really be...?
Suddenly, Yuko called out, "Could you please help me get the Nichirin Blade from the room, Kanata Tanihiko?"
"Nihonrin sword?"
"That's the samurai sword. It's specially made for slaying demons. The material of the sword is different from ordinary iron ore; it's called a Nichirin Blade."
The woman's eyes widened: "Ah! So, the samurai sword at home is one too!"
The two quickly worked together to move the Nichirin Blade out.
Yuko found some pieces of wood to lay down, combined the scabbard with the Nichirin Blade, inserted it into the boar's body, and strung it up.
real or fake……
Roast pork with a samurai sword.
A slight twitch appeared at the corner of his eye beyond the stove.
Yuko pursed her lips and clasped her hands together: "I'm sorry, Steelzuka. I don't think you'll mind."
Although he didn't know who this Steel Mound was, Kanata Kamado felt that he would definitely mind.
The woman asked worriedly, "Won't this break?"
Yuko explained, "It's alright. This knife incorporates some special materials that won't be damaged by charcoal fire."
As for what special material it was, Yuko decided not to tell them, lest they find out and be unable to eat it.
