Chapter 454 I'm too embarrassed to expose you
Shinobu's smile froze, and she looked at her older sister with a deep gaze.
"Sister, you're not much better off either."
Kanae shook her head slightly, looking at Shinobu with amusement: "Shinobu, don't spout nonsense just because no one else knows here~"
“Back then, I was a good girl in my parents’ eyes, unlike you.”
Shinobu Kocho was slightly taken aback as her older sister so easily recounted her memories of their parents.
My sister already... no, my sister probably doesn't want to be sad either.
Therefore, she can talk about her memories of her parents with a smile.
Shinobu Kocho's lips curled up slightly: "Sister, you shouldn't make things up without evidence."
"Why don't we ask Kanao and Aoi? Let's see who's more gentle in their eyes?" Kanae turned around and looked at Kanao and Aoi, who had somehow appeared in the corridor.
Kanao didn't react much, just staring blankly at the two of them.
Kanzaki Aoi felt immense pressure, her lips twitching slightly: "I have a feeling that no matter which option I choose, it will be a thankless and exhausting decision."
Kanae shook her head: "No, I would be very happy if Aoi chose me."
Shinobu's eyelids twitched: "You mean I won't be happy?"
Kanae hid behind Kanzaki Aoi, looking at Kocho Shinobu with a panicked expression: "See, she's already getting angry."
"Isn't this obvious?"
As Kanae said this, she turned to Kanao to confirm, "You agree, right, Kanao?"
"Kanao~" Shinobu Kocho murmured softly.
Kanao's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she was already drenched in sweat.
Which one should I choose?
She felt that choosing one of them would hurt the other person's feelings.
Yuko glanced at Shinobu Kocho, who had a stern face but a sly look in her eyes, and at Kanae, who seemed gentle but had a subtle smile on her lips.
These two people...
None of you are good people!
Isn't this a case of ganging up to bully Kanao?
This honest child is too straightforward, which is why he was bullied by these two wicked sisters.
"Let's go, Kanao. Don't pay any attention to these two." Kanzaki Aoi had also discovered the sisters' plot and, unable to stand by and watch, took the initiative to pull Kanao up.
Kanao stiffly followed Kanzaki Aoi away.
"Hahaha~"
Behind them, the laughter of the wicked sisters gradually spread.
Yu Zi said speechlessly, "I have to say, you guys really know how to bully children."
"What can we do?" Shinobu Kocho shrugged. "It's just because that child is too cute."
"Mmm!" Kanae nodded emphatically.
Shinobu looked around curiously: "Did you clean the whole house, sister?"
When this was mentioned, Kanae's eyes couldn't help but look resentful.
"Speaking of which, why did you come back so late?"
Shinobu Kocho, unaware of her older sister's resentment, honestly replied, "I went to Miss Tamayo's house on the way."
"Oh, I thought..." Kanae paused.
"Why?"
Kanae glanced at the two of them with a sly look and said, "I thought you two were deliberately coming back so late because you didn't want to clean."
Because the family had some assets and hadn't been back for so many years, cleaning was extremely difficult. Even though there were four or five of them, it took them several days to clean.
I was originally thinking that if Shinobu and Yuko came back early, they might be able to help share some of the burden.
Unexpectedly, the two waited for them to finish cleaning before going home.
"How could that be? Sister, you shouldn't make wild guesses." Butterfly held back her sweat and betrayed Yuko without hesitation. "Besides, it was Yuko who came up with the idea of visiting Miss Tamayo."
Yuko was still looking around her new living environment when a large pot suddenly flew over.
"It...it was my idea." Yuko subconsciously tried to defend herself, but found that it seemed to really be her fault.
It is impossible to distinguish.
Kanae was amused by the two's antics. "Alright, just kidding. I don't want to be seen as narrow-minded."
Shinobu blinked: "Who?"
"Who knows~" Kanae looked at Shinobu Kocho, and the two sisters started again.
After Muzan was gone, it seemed that everyone who was usually repressed had found their own way to express their emotions.
These two sisters never bickered when they were in the Butterfly Mansion.
After making a joke, Kanae added, "The room is ready. Ms. Yuuko, why don't you go and choose a room?"
"Just call me Yuko."
Actually, Yu Zi had mentioned the issue of correcting the way she was addressed a long time ago, but since people didn't know her well at the time, they didn't act casually out of respect.
But now that they're going to live together, they can't keep using honorifics all the time, can they?
Kanae and Shinobu Kocho also corrected Kanzaki Aoi's and the three little ones' names early on.
The Demon Slayer Corps developed its hierarchical system for easier management, but this isn't the case here; this is home.
Calling someone "sister" is much better than using terms like "Miss" or "Master."
Understanding this, Kanae didn't dwell on the form of address and nodded, saying, "Come with me."
Kanae led Yuko to a house and, looking at the mottled marks on the corner of the wall, said, "I just contacted the carpenter yesterday, but he's not available yet, so we'll have to make do for now."
Because of years of neglect, these wooden houses have been eaten away by termites and insects and are in dire need of cleaning. No amount of cleaning can help, and a professional must be hired to rebuild them.
Yu Zi casually replied, "It's okay, this place is much better than the bridge hole."
Kanae was stunned. Was Ikuko's life really that miserable before?
Shinobu turned her head away and chuckled to herself, not bothering to expose Ikuko's lie.
"For convenience, I'll sleep in the same room as Yuuko," Shinobu Kocho said casually, putting down her package.
Kanae's eye twitched slightly. "Was that for convenience?"
She was too embarrassed to call her out!
However, considering the situation of the two people, Kanae didn't say much.
otherwise……
These two might bring her up with Sanemi at any time... no, it's probably not just a mention, it might go even further.
For a moment, Kanae was actually somewhat glad that she hadn't blurted out her true feelings.
Kanae didn't dwell on that, changing the subject to ask, "Are Tanjiro and the others alright?"
"Yes, the family happily returned to the mountain."
"I see." Kanae smiled, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
I wish their family could be like that.
That hint of sadness vanished in an instant, without alerting the two of them.
"Tanjiro also invited Inosuke to stay and live with them, and Zenitsu also decided to move with Mr. Kuwajima."
