Chapter 520 I'm just raising a question
He turned back into a human...
Have they turned back into humans?
Those five short words caused Shinobu Kocho's brain to freeze for several seconds, unable to process them.
"What's with that expression? Why aren't you surprised at all?" Yuko waved her hand in front of Shinobu Kocho.
Butterfly blinked, snapping out of her daze, a hint of helplessness on her face: "Suddenly turning back into a human, what kind of new joke is this?"
Shinobu Kocho had to admit that for a brief moment, what welled up from the bottom of her heart was an emotion called joy.
This doesn't mean she hates ghosts, or that she hates Yuuko, who is a ghost.
In fact, after Ikuko saved Kanae and later interacted with her, Shinobu Kocho was no longer so hostile towards the demon.
She believed that she wasn't the only one; the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps shared the same thought.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to disband the Demon Slayer Corps when three-headed demons still exist in this world, especially since one of them is a demon king whose threat rivals that of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Isn't it because everyone trusts Yuuko, and trusts that Yuuko, Tamayo, and Yushiro are different from other ghosts?
Shinobu Kocho never disliked Yuuko because she was a demon; she only felt afraid occasionally… afraid that when wrinkles appeared on her face, Yuuko would still be so young; afraid that when her skin wrinkled and she became like an old woman, Yuuko would still be so young.
All of this seems far away from her; even though Kanae is in her thirties, she looks like she's only in her early twenties. The only thing that has changed is her demeanor.
Good breathing techniques can help increase lifespan and maintain good health.
They age much more slowly than the average person, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have gray hair and be unable to stand up straight when they are in their seventies or eighties.
Shinobu wasn't worried that Ikuko would dislike her at that time; she was the one who disliked herself.
Therefore, when she suddenly heard this news from Yuko, her first reaction was excitement.
Finally, finally, I can grow old with Yuko.
Shinobu Kocho sometimes feels that this idea is selfish, but this selfish idea has taken root in her heart.
However, after she calmed down, she realized that Yuko was joking again.
Turning back into a human? How could this be so sudden?
It sounds unreal.
"Do not believe?"
Shinobu Kocho nodded matter-of-factly: "Isn't that obvious? Why are you suddenly saying that..."
"Well, I was also surprised. I didn't expect Tamayo to be so amazing." Yuko said as she headed towards the kitchen.
"You mean Ms. Tamayo has developed a new human-transforming drug?" Shinobu Kocho raised an eyebrow, unsure of what she was planning, and could only follow along.
“That’s right! She’s taken so much of my blood. If she still doesn’t get results, I’m going to wreck her lab.”
Shinobu Kocho looked speechless: "You really think you can destroy Ms. Tamayo's laboratory?"
This guy is really good at spouting nonsense.
Yu Zi paused for a moment: "I guess so, I'm not actually that afraid of her."
Shinobu Kocho: “…”
This guy's only stubbornness is his mouth.
"Found it." Just as Shinobu was in a daze, Ikuko found the kitchen knife and suddenly slashed the back of her hand, blood slowly oozing out.
"Look! It hasn't been restored!" Yuko looked at Shinobu Kocho with a smug expression.
It really...did not recover.
Shinobu Kocho was stunned for a moment before she subconsciously realized, "Idiot! You don't need to prove it like that!"
Shinobu quickly snatched the kitchen knife from her hand, dragged Yuko back to her room, and took out bandages to bandage the wound.
Shinobu's heart raced a little as her wound was bandaged.
It's really true... it's actually true...
The wound has not healed.
While the butterfly felt a pang of heartache, a touch of emotion welled up within it.
"Alright, alright, if you wrap it two more times, I won't be able to cut vegetables with this hand..." Yu Zi paused, then suddenly cried out, "Ah! My hand hurts so much, I may need to rest for a while before I can cook and cut vegetables again."
Shinobu Kocho froze for a moment, and the emotion that had welled up in her heart vanished instantly.
She looked up with a forced smile: "You, you're not doing this on purpose because you don't want to do housework, are you?"
Yu Zi shivered and swore, "I swear to God, I just wanted to prove something to you."
Shinobu glared at her irritably, then fell silent, cut the gauze, and tied a bow on Ikuko's hand: "You've been trying to turn back into a human?"
Yuko scratched her head: "Not really, since I was only responsible for raising the questions; it's always been Tamayo who's been putting in the effort."
The butterfly held back its fright.
That makes so much sense! Suddenly, she felt absolutely no gratitude towards Yuko!
Thank you, Ms. Tamayo.
Butterfly silently murmured to herself.
Shinobu asked curiously, "So, Tamayo-san has turned back into a human?"
Yuko was taken aback, not expecting Shinobu to ask such a question, and quickly added, "No, Tamayo and the others seem to be in a different situation than me."
"This human-transforming drug was specially formulated for me."
Shinobu thought about it and agreed.
Yuko's situation was complicated. She and Ms. Tamayo performed the surgery on Yuko together, so she knew it very well.
Given Yuko's subsequent physical changes, the situation will likely only become more complicated.
Shinobu Kocho snapped out of her reverie, looked up at Yuuko, and found her lost in thought. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Huh? It's nothing. I was just thinking that humans are really fragile creatures. Even a small cut from a kitchen knife requires such a serious bandaging." Yu Zi said, raising her hand.
She was actually inspired by Shinobu Kocho.
Right, Muzan's cells haven't run out yet, so why didn't Tamayo and Yushiro use the human-turning drug to turn back into humans?
Shinobu's lips twitched: "Yes, humans are such fragile creatures, so you'd better not make me angry in the future, or I'm afraid I won't be able to put your head back on after I cut it off."
Yuko shuddered in fright: "What kind of terrifying statement is that? When you're angry, do you think about how to chop my head off?"
Shinobu Kocho shook her head expressionlessly: "Not really, but sometimes I do wonder what it would be like to cut off my limbs."
Before Yuko could even gasp, Shinobu Kocho continued, "There's also the research of cutting open the brain to see its structure, disemboweling it, and so on."
“After all, a demon that can’t be killed no matter what can be done has made a huge contribution to the medical field. To be honest, I really want to study it.” As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho cast a burning gaze at Ikuko.
"I've become human! Don't come any closer!" Yuko shuddered under Shinobu's gaze, which seemed to see right through her, and involuntarily took a step back.
