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

Chapter 485 is utterly speechless.

Yuko panicked, and she was extremely panicked.

If I had to describe her behavior in one word, it would undoubtedly be 'stupid'.

That's so stupid!

How could they let us down at such a crucial moment?

Yu Zi was on the verge of tears, almost crying from her own stupidity.

Yuko touched her forehead, which was also throbbing from the impact, and quickly got up to try to get out of the way, but Shinobu Kocho gave her a death stare that sent shivers down her spine.

Shinobu's voice seemed to come from the deepest depths of hell: "Ikuko, did you do this on purpose?"

Yuko trembled: "No, no..."

Suddenly, Shinobu Kocho grabbed Ikuko's face with both hands, squeezing and stretching it, giving it a good rub.

Her purple eyes stared intently at Yuko, her expressionless face revealing neither anger nor...

Knowing full well that she had committed a heinous crime, Yuko dared not move an inch, fearing that she might accidentally commit another grave offense.

With her mouth squeezed shut, Yuko mumbled an apology.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Pfft~" Shinobu Kocho couldn't keep her cool expression and burst out laughing.

Yu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that he could laugh; it was good that he could laugh.

She was terrified that Shinobu would slap her hard, and she wouldn't dare to fight back.

Being able to laugh means things are moving in a positive direction.

"I just..." Yuko was about to explain her stupid mistake when Shinobu's smile suddenly disappeared. She cupped Yuko's face in her hands, closed her eyes, and pressed her face against Shinobu's.

A soft touch came from her lips, and Yuko's eyes widened involuntarily. She didn't feel shy or anything, but instead blinked as she looked at Shinobu's magnified face.

Boom~

A firework burst open, its bright light illuminating the two faces. The sudden explosion made Shinobu Kocho's delicate eyelashes tremble slightly.

Both of them instinctively held their breath, unable to describe the feeling.

Yuko found it difficult to describe her current feelings in words; her mind went into a brief daze.

She believed that Shinobu Kocho felt the same way, as if they could feel each other's pounding hearts.

About half a minute later, their warm breaths touched each other's faces, and their lips slowly parted.

Shinobu Kocho breathed in the fresh air, her face flushed, and Ikuko unconsciously licked her own lips as her translucent lips appeared on her own.

"Tolerate……"

Shinobu Kocho quickly calmed her excited heart, a faint smile on her face: "It's definitely more convenient to pinch your cheeks."

She spoke rather casually, if one could ignore her slightly flushed face.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." Yu Zi couldn't help but smile, rubbing her still slightly sore forehead.

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "I forgive you."

Anyway, she has found a more suitable method.

Boom~

Another round of fireworks burst forth, and the two lay back down on the grass, as if embracing each other and falling asleep.

Shinobu Kocho's pupils reflected the brilliance of the fireworks as she exclaimed again, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Yu Zi stared intently at her profile and said seriously, "It's because of Ren that she looks beautiful."

Shinobu turned her head, a gentle smile on her face, and teased, "It's rare to hear Yuko say something like that."

Yu Zi pouted: "Do you really think I'm that clueless about romance?"

“It’s not that I’m insensitive, it’s just that I find it hard to categorize your behavior in this regard as that of a normal person.” Shinobu Kocho gently shook her head, saying something that left Ikuko speechless. “If I had to find someone to compare myself to, I think only that idiot Inosuke can compare to Ikuko in this regard.”

"I'm not angry that you look down on me," Yuko said, somewhat displeased. "But can Inosuke tell Aoi what I just said?"

"Obviously not, right?"

"How can you compare me to Inosuke, who has absolutely no romantic sense?"

"I admit that even Tanjiro and Zenitsu might be stronger than me, but I still stand by what I said."

"That idiot Inosuke can never beat me."

Yuko went on and on, clearly unhappy that Shinobu had grouped her with Inosuke.

Although Yuko seemed very annoyed, this did not make Shinobu Kocho retract her previous statement. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said sarcastically.

"What do you mean, even if it's Tanjiro and Zenitsu?"

"Putting aside the fact that Tanjiro is just a little shy, he's nowhere near as good as Ikuko in that respect." Shinobu Kocho reached out to pinch Ikuko's cheek, but Ikuko dodged her hand in annoyance.

Shinobu Kocho wasn't angry and continued, "Take Zenitsu for example, how dare you compare yourself to Zenitsu, Ikuko?"

"That guy used to be the type to kneel down and propose to any girl he met."

"If Ikuko had Zenitsu's thick skin, I wouldn't..."

At this point, Shinobu Kocho suddenly stopped talking.

Yu Zi narrowed her eyes: "I don't know anything either? Why don't you tell me the whole story?"

She strongly suspected that Shinobu Kocho was being sarcastic or mocking towards her.

Shinobu Kocho's gaze was deep and thoughtful: "...I don't need to be so proactive anymore."

What a fool!

Yu Zi's expression darkened. "Are you underestimating me?"

"Hmm, do you have a problem?" Shinobu Kocho lowered her eyelids, suddenly wanting to know what else Yuuko had to say.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuko acted decisively, grabbing Shinobu's shoulders with both hands.

Shinobu glanced left and right at the claws resting on her shoulders, her face showing absolutely no embarrassment.

Or rather, she simply had no expression.

Shinobu raised an eyebrow but didn't speak, though Ikuko understood the meaning in her expression.

'That's it? ’

How dare you look down on her?

Yuko got angry, and the consequences were serious.

She lunged forward and, with lightning speed, pecked Shinobu Kocho on the cheek.

Yu Zi felt a little guilty, but mostly proud, and said, "How...how so?!"

It was as if she had just done something amazing.

Shinobu's expression froze for a moment, then she wiped the drool off her cheek expressionlessly and chuckled twice: "I really am an idiot..."

Even though she knew Yuko was no different from an idiot in this regard, she had actually felt a slight sense of anticipation just now.

As it turns out, she had placed her expectations on the wrong target.

If you insist on describing your feelings, she felt that Yu Zi had poked her face and it hurt.

Yes, that's how it feels.

As for other symptoms like a racing heart or flushed face...

Sorry, no.

Shinobu Kocho felt speechless, like she was punching cotton.

Shinobu Kocho was at a loss for words and what expression to make to convey her feelings.

In short, it boils down to two words.

Speechless.
