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

Chapter 487 Put me down!

This place is about 100 meters away from the city, and there are a few sparse groves of trees. At this time of day, few people would notice the sky above the trees.

Under the cover of night, Yuko set up her hideout in the woods.

Jumping off the crimson platform, Yuko looked back. Above the sparse woods, a silver crescent moon hung, and Shinobu's figure gracefully leaped in the air, seemingly radiating a dreamlike purple glow under the moonlight.

Yuko's eyes darted around, and just as she was about to jump, she slightly bent her fingers, and the platform where Shinobu was about to land suddenly disappeared.

"Huh?" Butterfly Shinobu panicked for a moment and quickly looked down. Wherever her gaze fell, the blood-red platform rapidly dissolved, turning into pools of blood that fell downwards. The platform beneath her feet had all been removed by Yuuko.

Butterfly lowered her head and saw Yuko's smiling face.

The two locked eyes, and Shinobu Kocho immediately understood what Ikuko meant; she was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

So that's where she was waiting.

Butterfly narrowed her eyes, her body descending rapidly yet gracefully, her gaze calmly sweeping over the surroundings.

The purple figure twisted abruptly in mid-air, as if flapping its wings in the air where it had no leverage, forcibly changing its falling position.

rustle……

Shinobu landed lightly on the branch above Ikuko's head, knocking off some leaves that scattered onto Ikuko's head.

Yuko silently plucked two leaves, looked up and met Shinobu's gaze.

"Hmph~" Shinobu Kocho looked down at Ikuko and let out a triumphant snort. "I knew you had this trick up your sleeve."

Fortunately, when she lost the platform she was standing on, she wasn't very high off the ground... Well, Yuko wouldn't joke like that.

"Come down." Yuko rolled her eyes and waved to Shinobu.

She didn't believe anyone who said they had foreseen it.

It was indeed too low. I was only slightly surprised at the beginning, but it didn't really scare Shinobu Kocho.

I should have gone up a bit more.

"Heave-ho~" As soon as Yuko said that, Shinobu Kocho obliged and jumped down towards Yuko.

Yuko instinctively wanted to take a step back, but noticed that Shinobu's jumping motion showed no intention of landing on her feet.

If she jumps down like that, her butt will probably break in two first.

Yu Zi quickly reached out her hands and caught her.

Shinobu's body fell into Yuuko's arms. While it wouldn't be said that she was no different from Yoko, in Yuuko's eyes, whose physique was comparable to Muzan's, there was no difference.

Jumping from this height, you feel so light you can barely feel the weight.

Yuko caught Shinobu Kocho and tried to put her down, but Shinobu's hands hooked around her neck and she wouldn't let go.

Yuko coughed lightly: "If Ren doesn't mind, I can carry you back like this."

She felt that Shinobu Kocho's thick skin was only strong enough to be tough in front of her; she definitely wouldn't be able to be shameless in front of strangers.

Shinobu Kocho smirked, "Great! Someone just teased me and made me so angry I couldn't walk."

Yuko's eye twitched slightly. What kind of reason was that?

"Fine, Miss Butterfly, I'll obey your request." Yuko shrugged indifferently.

The way she addressed him and the tone of her voice made Shinobu Kocho feel a sense of shame and a bad premonition.

The thought of Yuuko possibly playing a prank made Shinobu Kocho want to get down, but the idea quickly passed through her mind and was immediately dismissed.

Are you going to back down now?

What a joke!

She didn't want to be laughed at by Yuko!

Yuko casually carried Shinobu Kocho in a princess carry and walked into the city. With Yuko's current physical strength, it wouldn't matter if Shinobu Kocho gained several hundred pounds.

Of course, it's best to avoid this kind of thing.

Once out of the woods and back on the road, you can see vehicles and pedestrians coming and going from the city gate in the distance, presumably people who have finished visiting the summer festival and are planning to leave.

Yuko could clearly feel Shinobu's heartbeat quicken by two beats in her arms. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she calmly carried Shinobu along the road toward the city.

The closer she got to the city, the faster Shinobu's heart beat.

Finally, after hearing the voices of people talking at the city gate, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but tug at Ikuko's clothes.

She said in a voice barely audible, "Put me down."

Yuko pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

"Put me down." This time, Shinobu's voice was a few decibels louder.

It would be impolite for her to pretend she didn't hear that loud voice.

then.

"Huh? What did Shinobu just say?" Yuko asked, looking down at Shinobu with a puzzled expression as she walked.

"I said, put me down." Butterfly gritted her teeth; she didn't believe Yuko hadn't heard her.

Once is one thing, but the second time he pretended to be stupid.

Yuko blinked innocently: "Huh? But Shinobu didn't say that just now."

Shinobu clenched her teeth even tighter; she knew it!

How dare they take advantage of the chaos!

The butterfly held back its breath and remained silent.

She couldn't bear to lose face like that.

When Shinobu suddenly fell silent, Ikuko felt a little awkward.

Is Ren just giving up entirely?

Well, the problem is coming.

Should she let the butterfly go and endure it?

If she puts it down, wouldn't that mean she's admitting defeat?

No, no, no, she was trying to take Ren's feelings into consideration, not admitting defeat.

However... she definitely won't think that way when the time comes; she'll definitely take advantage of the situation and mock me.

No! We can't put her down!

In just a moment, Yuko went through the whole thing in her mind and hugged Shinobu Kocho even tighter with a determined attitude.

She was afraid that Butterfly might deliberately break free later and then insist that she had deliberately let go, which would put her at a disadvantage.

As Yuko's steps became more determined, Shinobu Kocho began to panic.

No way!

Yuko really won't put her down?!

No, no, Yuko probably just wanted to scare her.

She'll be put down soon, before we get back to the city.

Shinobu Kocho tried to comfort herself with these thoughts, but...

Goodbye, come again next time!

"Ah, I will if I have the chance."

Pedestrians at the entrance said goodbye to their acquaintances, and soon everyone's eyes were drawn to Yuko walking from the street outside the city, and Shinobu Kocho in her arms.

That's a girl, right?

Two girls?

The pedestrians looked on with suspicion.

Ignoring the strange looks from those around her, Yuko strode forward, carrying Shinobu Kocho.

Hearing whispers around her, Shinobu Kocho could no longer keep a straight face and buried her head in Ikuko's heart.

However, the moment she buried her head in Yuko's arms, her shyness vanished.

……

It's too big...
