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

Chapter 523 Various Preferences

Yuko ultimately did not run to the three children's room.

It wasn't that I didn't want the war to spread there, but I was simply afraid of angering Shinobu Kocho and ending up in an even worse situation.

After taking a shower, Shinobu Kocho tied her hair up with a towel and wore a thin purple nightgown.

This was something she bought for herself to persuade Yuko; it was on par with Yuko's pajamas.

However, it was obvious that dark-colored clothes were much better than light-colored ones, and when wet, they were almost black, which left Yuko speechless.

Isn't this blatant deception?

After entering the house, Shinobu Kocho ignored Ikuko and instead knelt down to the side, smoothing her hair with a towel.

Girls' hair care is more troublesome. After each shampoo, they have to use this method to dry the surface of their hair, otherwise their pillow will be soaked when they go to sleep.

After drying her hair, Shinobu Kocho put down the towel and slowly turned around: "Ikuko, shouldn't we settle the score from earlier?"

Yu Zi had already obediently crawled into bed and started to daydream.

Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but prop herself up slightly and peek out from under the covers.

"What? Weren't the accounts already settled?"

"Who said that?" Shinobu Kocho looked puzzled. "Didn't I just put it off because I was going to take a shower?"

Yu Zi clutched the blanket, trembling: "But, but didn't you tell me to wait for you obediently?"

"Yeah, I'll make you wait obediently in your room for me..." Shinobu Kocho revealed a dangerous smile, "and obediently wait to be bullied by me!"

As she finished speaking, Shinobu Kocho pulled back Ikuko's blanket.

"Wow!" Yuko exclaimed, trying to snatch the blanket back, but her hands were not as fast as Butterfly Shinobu's, and the other girl grabbed the blanket from her.

"Don't yell at me!" Kocho-nin angrily threw the blanket aside and approached Yuko step by step.

Its small body seemed to contain enormous energy, like a volcano about to erupt.

Seeing that the blanket had been thrown into the corner and couldn't be retrieved, Yu Zi could only curl up into a ball, hugging her pillow: "What, what are you going to do?"

Shinobu Kocho spread her five fingers, revealing a dangerous smile and gaze: "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Yuko swallowed hard: "The children are still next door, they'll hear us."

Butterfly chuckled and said, "It's alright, they're probably still awake at this time of day too."

"Yami..." Before Yuko could even call out, Shinobu Kocho straddled her and started tickling her armpits like crazy.

"Hahaha~" Yu Zi burst into laughter, laughing in every sense of the word, tears streaming down her face.

Yuko tried to roll over to push Shinobu off her, but Shinobu held her waist and abdomen firmly. Her frantic rolling turned into a frantic writhing, and her hands were pinned down by Shinobu's hand, making it impossible for her to escape.

Next room.

Hearing the pitiful laughter coming from next door, the three little ones lay obediently on the bed, not even bothering to get up and observe, their eyes calmly staring at the ceiling.

"It's starting again~"

"I feel like Yuko-neechan is going to get bullied again."

"Sister Ren is amazing."

On the other side, Yuko's hair was a mess, she was sweating profusely, and she was shouting incoherently.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Shinobu Kocho feigned a fierce tone and said, "Will you dare to do it again next time?"

"No, I wouldn't dare." Yu Zi was on the verge of tears; she didn't even know what she had done wrong.

Although Ikuko begged for mercy, Shinobu Kocho still poked Ikuko's waist, intending to give her the final blow.

But to her surprise, Yuko instinctively reached out and blocked Shinobu's hand.

Just then, Shinobu's finger bumped into Ikuko's injured hand.

Shinobu Kocho then belatedly realized that Ikuko was different from before, and that she still had an injury on her hand.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Shinobu Kocho quickly apologized, stood up and pulled Yuuko up with her, and regretfully held Yuuko's hand, "Did you hurt yourself?"

"No, it's nothing." Yuko realized that she had been poked in the wound. Although she didn't feel much pain, Shinobu's poke was quite forceful, hitting the wound directly and causing some blood to seep out.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho hurriedly got up and rummaged through her medicine box, removing the bandages and reapplying the medicine. It was quite a hassle, and even Yuko felt tired watching it.

"I'm sorry..." Shinobu Kocho kept repeating, as if she had made a terrible mistake.

Look how scared the child is, he's become like a broken record.

Yuko had originally intended to take the opportunity to pretend a little longer. But seeing Shinobu's appearance, she simply couldn't keep up the act.

Yuko extended her uninjured hand.

Shinobu instinctively shrank her neck, thinking that Ikuko was going to hit her on the head, but in the end she only felt a warm hand on her head.

"It won't do for Ren to become so reserved."

Shinobu Kocho didn't raise her head: "But, it's all because of me..."

Yu Zi smiled slightly: "I like Ren, not just his appearance, but also his personality."

"Whether it's gentle forbearance or irritable forbearance, I like it both."

"I would feel sad if Shinobu had to suppress her personality because I turned back into a human."

Shinobu's eyes widened slightly at Ikuko's words, her purple pupils gleaming.

Yu Zi withdrew her hand: "Besides, isn't this injury on the back of my hand something I brought on myself?"

Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips and looked up: "I'm sorry..."

This apology no longer carried the panic from before, but rather a complex mix of emotions.

"Okay, I accept." Yuko nodded gently with a smile, and gently touched Shinobu's face, pulling it to both sides. "Alright, stop making that face, this doesn't look like Shinobu."

"Don't let my appearance fool you. I went through the most rigorous training back then. The breathing techniques I used were not nearly as powerful as they are now, and the injuries I sustained in battle were far more severe than this."

"Moreover, Shinobu's treatment was very effective; I can't feel any pain anymore," Yuko said, shaking her injured hand.

Shinobu Kocho was deeply moved: "That scared me to death!"

"It's not that serious, is it? It's just that the wound has reopened." Yuko was both amused and exasperated. This was the first time Shinobi Muzan had shown her such an expression since Muzan was defeated. If she weren't absolutely forbidden from doing so, she would have liked to take a picture to record it properly.

Thinking about it that way, I realize I'm quite devilish.

Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho didn't know what the person on the other end was thinking, otherwise her heartfelt emotions would have been wasted.

Seeing that Shinobu's face still looked a little sad, Yuko said, "How about this, if Shinobu really feels bad, then you can do all the housework until my wounds heal."

"What do you think of this punishment?"

"Mm." Shinobu Kocho nodded silently.
