Chapter 505 Aren't these all wild vegetables?
"What's happening here?"
Shinobu Kocho returned to the hall with the food, her serene smile instantly turning into a gossipy expression. She slipped next to Ikuko and asked in a low voice.
In the corner of the hall, Inosuke was diligently massaging the shoulders and back of Kanzaki Aoi, who was sitting upright on the ground with her head down and her expression unreadable. His actions were not exactly obsequious, but they were completely subservient.
Yuko sighed and said softly, "Well, Shinobu knows that a beast will submit to a stronger beast, right?"
That's exactly what I mean.
"Huh?" Shinobu blinked, indicating that she didn't understand at all.
What nonsense about wild animals?
She was asking why that silly boy Inosuke was suddenly being so nice to Himawari. Had he suddenly become more perceptive?
Yuko shook her head and didn't say anything more.
Shinobu Kocho looked at the scene again, feeling something was off, and tentatively asked, "Are you saying that Himawari is a beast even stronger than Inosuke?"
Yu Zi gave her a thumbs up.
Shinobu narrowed her eyes and leaned back slightly, not quite believing Ikuko's words.
Xiao Kui is a well-known good girl; how could she possibly be associated with wild animals or anything like that?
If I can't figure it out, I might as well stop thinking about it.
Shinobu Kocho glanced at the silent children sitting in the corner, clapped her hands, and asked with a smile, "How was your snowball fight?"
"How about we continue after lunch?"
The children, who had been keeping quiet, visibly turned terrified and shook their heads frantically.
That head was so fast it was almost a blur.
Shinobu's smile was somewhat stiff.
Did she accidentally do something that the children disliked?
Why is it that no one agrees to have a snowball fight with her?
Shinobu Kocho's mood became low, and she awkwardly picked up her teacup and drank tea alone.
Yu Zi couldn't stand it anymore and explained, "It has nothing to do with you."
Shinobu Kocho, holding her teacup, turned her head blankly: "What does that have to do with anyone?"
Yuko opened her mouth to explain, but Inosuke was jumping around in front of Kanzaki Aoi, massaging her shoulders and then her wrists.
"Boss Kui! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Pfft~" A mouthful of tea sprayed out of Shinobu's mouth, almost giving Ikuko a good slap.
"Cough cough~" Butterfly choked twice.
Yuko gently patted her back. Shinobu Kocho even temporarily ignored the discomfort of choking and stared dumbfounded at Inosuke, who was fawning over Kanzaki Aoi.
Is the world about to end?
How come she can't understand anything?
“I don’t know if the world will be destroyed or not, but it looks like this…” Yuko sighed again, “I have a feeling that I don’t know how things will develop from here.”
Shinobu Kocho suddenly woke up with a start. That's right!
They came to Tanjiro's place not only for Tanjiro and Kanao, but also for that girl Himawari!
Although Kanzaki Aoi hasn't shown it much, she definitely has feelings for that idiot Inosuke.
It would be even more obvious if Inosuke were to be dragged along to the festival during the summer festival.
But what exactly is going on now?
She wanted to bring you two together, not to see you two become sworn brothers!
Shinobu Kocho felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit it out.
After a long pause, looking at the two who were clearly developing a superior-subordinate relationship, increasingly resembling a master and pet, Shinobu Kocho said with a forced smile, "This way... might actually work..."
"At least...we're closer now, aren't we?"
Forget it, she shouldn't worry about the young people's affairs. Let them have their own headaches.
Shinobu Kocho is completely baffled.
Sure enough, things always get weird when those idiots are involved.
“That’s true, but…” Yu Zi shrugged, pointing to the food on the table, “Is this what we’re having for today?”
"Zezi?"
"I don't mind not eating it, but this amount is still..."
"Huh?" Shinobu Kocho looked over in surprise, her face turning flustered. "Oh dear! I was so busy talking to you that I forgot about this!"
Shinobu Kocho quickly got up and rushed to the kitchen.
Shinobu and Nezuko went back and forth several times, and before long, the table was filled with food.
The dishes were quite plentiful; you could say they had everything.
Yuko joked, "This is the best meal I've ever had at Kamado's house."
“Going back several hundred years, it’s the same.”
Tanjiro smiled and said, "Yes, the money our master gave us has made our family much wealthier, so we can afford things we couldn't afford before."
After Tanjiro returned home in triumph, the Kamado family was no longer short of food and clothing, and their lives were much better than when they used to make a living by selling charcoal to support their family.
The money the Demon Slayer Corps received when they disbanded was more than an average person could spend in a lifetime or even several lifetimes.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Kamado family is now the richest family in the town.
You could tell from the tone of Tanjiro's voice when he talked about the charcoal business that although he was saddened by the changes of the times, he was not worried about making a living or supporting his family.
Selling charcoal now is probably just a way to find something to do, to prevent the family business that has been passed down for generations from falling into disuse, and to provide a source of income for the elderly people in the town who are used to using charcoal for heating.
Nezuko asked curiously, "What did my family eat hundreds of years ago?"
Yu Zi counted on her fingers: "Hmm, wild vegetables, and more wild vegetables, wild vegetables..."
Going back several hundred years, the food she and Yoriichi ate most often at Tanji's place was wild vegetables that Tanji's family dug up in the mountains.
However, in those days, it was good enough to have wild vegetables to eat. You often couldn't see any greenery on the mountains because they had all been eaten.
Of course, it was also thanks to those wild vegetables that Yuko laid the foundation for breaking free from Muzan's control and overcoming the sunlight.
Aren't these all wild vegetables?!
Everyone was ashamed.
Nezuko exclaimed happily, "Isn't that the same food we used to eat?"
Yuko paused for a moment, unsure of what expression to make.
Nezuko probably didn't think that much about it, and even Ikuko didn't see a hint of disappointment on Tanjiro and the other children's faces. Only in Kamado Aoi's eyes when she looked at the children could one see a trace of guilt.
