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

Chapter 475 Escape

Although the boss also felt that the angle and force were not conducive to catching goldfish, no one knew better than him how easily the paper net could break.

After all, if someone else can easily take away the money he's meant to make, wouldn't he be losing so much that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him?

Of course, even if someone catches the goldfish on the first try, they only earn a little less, so they don't lose out either way.

A boss needs to have a broad perspective.

Don't make a fuss about things without evidence.

Most importantly, who would cheat for fifty yen?!

Shinobu Kocho didn't ignore Ikuko because of her boss's interruption; her purple eyes were fixed on her.

"Stare~"

Yu Zi gave a forced smile, somewhat awkwardly returning the smile. She tried her best to adjust the curve of her lips, attempting to make her smile look less stiff, but she clearly failed.

Kyojuro laughed and bluntly revealed the truth: "You look guilty."

Yuko glared at him, but it had no effect whatsoever; Kyojuro even returned a bright smile.

On that day, Yuko understood.

Her killer gaze only works on those who are weak-willed; it has no effect on someone like Kyojuro, who is sunny, determined, and full of passion.

Is this the power of being cheerful?

That's amazing!

Shinobu crossed her arms, tapping her arms with her fingers, looking like she had Ikuko cornered and was waiting for her to explain.

If she only had a slight suspicion before, now she is 100% certain that Yuko cheated.

As for how she cheated, she knew without even thinking that she must have used blood demon magic to freeze and harden the paper net without the other person noticing.

"Hmm?" Seeing that Yuko remained silent, Shinobu Kocho let out a soft moan, the fluctuating tone making Yuko's head ache.

Ren's brain is too sharp; at this rate, I feel like I'm going to be completely under her thumb.

Ignoring whether it would attract the boss's attention, Yu Zi braced herself and said, "You don't have any evidence, do you?"

When she put down the paper net, she completely withdrew the Blood Demon Art, and there wasn't even a trace of extra coldness left on the paper net.

Butterfly Shinobu narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them, and called out in a drawn-out tone, "Yu~ko~"

Yu Zi's expression changed slightly, and she pushed through the crowd and ran forward.

Shinobu Kocho followed closely behind, and the two quickly left the others far behind.

Xuanmi watched the two run further and further away with a speechless expression, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Are these two really Ms. Yuko and Ms. Shinobu?

Judging from their actions alone, he would have thought they were those two idiots, Inosuke and Zenitsu.

The only difference is that he can call Zenitsu and Inosuke "idiots," but when those two cause trouble, he can only pretend he didn't see it, and even when he gets messed with, he has to smile.

It wasn't just a difference in strength; more importantly, compared to the important matter concerning his older brother, this suffering was nothing at all.

"They've gone far away." Hanako stared blankly.

She was the shortest and the first to lose sight of the two; Yuko and Shinobu were quickly obscured by the backs of passersby.

"Yeah, they got away." Kyojuro crossed his arms and nodded seriously.

Genmi nodded silently: "They ran away."

"..."

"Huh?" Genya suddenly realized what was happening and subconsciously looked down at Hanako, who was tugging at his clothes.

His gaze drifted into the distance, then returned to Shigeru and Rokuta, who were receiving the spoils of Yuuko and Shinobu from the shopkeeper.

A bad feeling grew rapidly in Xuanmi's mind.

No way, those two bastards couldn't possibly be...

……

"Thank goodness you understood what I meant, Yuko."

In the distance, the two who had run not far before stopping hid in a corner and secretly observed the crowd who were stunned by their departure.

Yu Zi chuckled: "Of course, I can understand you just by looking at you."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Yuko, what's with the look in my eyes?"

Yuko turned her head to look, and saw Shinobu Kocho wearing a gentle smile. After just one glance, Yuko calmly turned back.

After a moment of silence, Yuko said, "You want to hit me."

"Wow, amazing! Yuuko guessed it all right." Shinobu's eyes widened slightly as she clapped her hands in approval.

Yu Zi's eyelids twitched, and she turned her head away dejectedly: "If I guessed right, I shouldn't get beaten up, right?"

Shinobu's smile grew brighter and brighter: "How can a girl hit people so easily?"

"Not to mention hitting girls, that's not right~"

Yu Zi said expressionlessly, "Clothes, right? I understand."

She already knew Shinobu Kocho's personality very well; she could tell what Shinobu was thinking just by looking at her expression, but it didn't really matter.

Butterfly's smile widened even more: "Yuko is so sensible~"

Yuko's lips twitched. Why did she suddenly feel that Shinobu was becoming more and more perverted?

That's terrifying!

Shinobu's face regained some seriousness as she looked away from the crowd, a slight smile playing on her lips: "It seems Genya can handle children. Let's go."

“…Hmm.” Yuko felt a little shy when she thought about how the two of them had taken the opportunity to escape so they could have some alone time.

……

After waiting for about three more minutes, and still not seeing the two return, Xuanmi's face darkened, and he realized that he had been tricked.

"Brother Genya, haven't Sister Yuko and Sister Shinobu returned yet?" Hanako took Genya's hand, stood on tiptoe slightly, and gazed into the distance, but her view was still blocked by passersby because of her height.

Genya's 1.8-meter height was unaffected, and the black lines on his head gradually returned to their sunny color as Hanako's voice rang out.

"Hmm, maybe she's lost." Genya gently rubbed Hanako's head, smiled down, and said, "Don't worry."

“…Mm.” Hanako nodded.

Xuanmi-nii is still quite terrifying.

Xuanmi raised his head, his gaze returning to its gloomy state.

Those two bastards!! They actually dared to do that!!

He should have thought of it earlier.

Xuanmi wanted to cry but had no tears. He should have just played by himself.

Now it's good that I have someone with me, but they're just a bunch of little devils.

At this moment, Kyojuro put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, those two look like they're lost. Let Senjuro and I go with you."

Senjuro quickly bowed to everyone: "Please give me your guidance."

"Please take good care of me." This was the first time that Takeo and the others had encountered such polite people, so they quickly followed suit and bowed their heads.

Xuanmi's lips twitched; he really wanted to say something.

Those two bastards weren't lost at all; they just dumped the kids on him.

But Kyojuro's words still brought back a little warmth between people.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Kyojuro."

Kyojuro patted him on the shoulder in a hearty manner: "Just call me Kyojuro."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find them."

Xuanmi's lips twitched again. No, so it's not true at all...

Xuanmi paused for a moment, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and then responded.

"Ah."

We will definitely find those two guys.
