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

Chapter 256 I told you to pick up the box

"Don't~"

Zenitsu let out a sharp, mournful cry and shook his head frantically. "I still have a long way to go. There's so much I want to learn."

The crowd watched his performance with blank expressions.

Want to learn?

That's not right.

Is he trying to use this opportunity to get closer to girls?

Kanroji Mitsuri shook her head seriously: "No, Zenitsu-kun is really excellent."

"Actually, I was already thinking of assuming you passed before Inosuke-kun, because you said you wanted to study for a longer period of time, so I agreed."

"I think Zenitsu-kun's talent is even greater than Inosuke-kun's."

Inosuke?

That's true. Inosuke's ability to break his arm was already at its limit, while Zenitsu's perversion has no limit.

"Eh~ But I really can't do it yet~" Zenitsu twisted his body restlessly, and the combination with that gym uniform could only be described as an eyesore.

Shinobu's lips twitched slightly.

Mitsuri, that girl, is nineteen years old, and she still wants to join the Demon Slayer Corps to find a husband, but she's like an idiot in this respect, so naive it's outrageous.

Although she wouldn't be taken advantage of, she felt like punching someone whenever she saw Zenitsu's expression.

I'm annoyed.

Butterfly's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, the place they were going to later was Iguro's mansion.

Ha ha.

Hopefully, when I see it, it will still be a complete human form.

As if sensing an unprecedented level of malice, Zenitsu's rosy face turned pale instantly, and he shuddered.

what?

Before he could find the source of this sudden unease, Shinobu Kocho pulled him away from Mitsuri Kanroji.

"Who?!" Zenitsu turned around angrily.

Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Do I have a problem with that?"

Zenitsu's anger subsided, and he shrank back, saying, "No, nothing."

Shinobu Kocho shifted her gaze, glancing at the box at her feet, and said calmly, "Pick up the box on the ground for me."

"I……"

"I told you to pick up the box."

"Yes!" Zenitsu shuddered, recalling the fear of being dominated by Shinobu Kocho at the Butterfly Mansion, and picked up the box from the ground without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, okay." Zenitsu swallowed hard and stood up straight with a look of fear on his face.

The butterfly said impatiently, "There's more."

very scary.

These words did not only reflect Zenitsu's true feelings, but also those of everyone present.

Only when Zenitsu picked up the two boxes, his face turning red from holding his breath, did Shinobu Kocho stop torturing him.

She relaxed her furrowed brow and turned to look at Kanroji Mitsuri: "Mitsuri, let's..."

"Yes!"

When her name was called, Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Pillar, stood at attention.

Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, then said, "We're leaving now. Let's eat together again next time."

Kanroji Mitsuri nodded repeatedly, her heart already overflowing with tears, not daring to entertain even the slightest thought of trying to keep her.

How terrifying! How terrifying!

An angry Shinobu is terrifying!

Ikuko sweated violently.

No matter how you look at it, this scene is too bizarre.

……

"Is it really okay for us to just let Zenitsu carry us all by himself?" Tanjiro asked with some reluctance as he looked at Zenitsu, who was straining to carry him, on the way to the Iguro mansion.

Shinobu Kocho said calmly, "There's no need to be so kind to those idiots."

"Uh..." Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down Tanjiro's face. Although he really wanted to help, it seemed that he could only apologize to Zenitsu in secret.

Thanks to Zenitsu, the group was able to relax a bit and stroll to Iguro's mansion.

"Ah~"

"Uh~"

The screams rang out again, making it impossible for anyone to tell which side was hell.

Stepping into the mansion, I followed the sound to the dojo where Obanai Iguro was undergoing special training.

"The pigs are advancing!!!"

Before even stepping into the dojo, everyone heard a familiar voice.

It seems that Zeno, who is ahead of him, is still training with Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar.

"I'm exhausted~" Zenitsu said, panting as he placed the box at the entrance of the dojo.

Then, not hearing anyone's voice, she looked up and was shocked by what she saw.

In the vast dojo, swordsmen were bound to wooden stakes, some lying horizontally and others vertically, their mouths covered tightly.

The originally spacious training ground was forcibly transformed into a cramped space.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this was some kind of evil god sacrifice.

In this cramped space, two figures were moving back and forth.

"Beast Breathing - Nine Fangs - Stretch - Winding Split!" The knuckles of the hand holding the wooden sword cracked and deformed suddenly, piercing through the wooden stake along the cheek of a bound swordsman at a tricky angle, and then thrusting towards Obanai Iguro, who was hiding behind him.

A stray lock of hair was cut off by the wooden sword, and the swordsman trembled all over, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing this, Zenitsu shook his head in terror: "No, I want to go back! I want to go back!"

No one paid him any attention, just watched the scene unfold before them in silence.

Everyone: "..."

They retracted their previous assessment of other training grounds; compared to this, the others were already far better.

This place is worse than hell itself.

"You're quite capable." Obanai Iguro dodged the blade, his figure flashing elusively across the field, a hint of admiration in his heterochromatic eyes.

Is it that blood-red marking that looks like a beast's tooth?

His strength is undoubtedly close to that of a Pillar.

Iguro Koba's inner eyes narrowed slightly; he had always been skeptical about the markings.

With other pillars and the lord as a safety net, he wasn't so much disbelieving as to doubt it, but he questioned whether it could truly bring about a transformative improvement.

Now it seems that it was indeed true.

At least, the beast before us is the best proof.

He seemed much stronger than those top-tier swordsmen; even a lower-ranking demon might not be his match.

There's no way to treat things comfortably anymore.

Considering that the two were at a crucial stage, the others didn't want to disturb them and could only wait for them to finish training.

Fortunately, even Inosuke, who had awakened his mark, was still a bit lacking when facing an opponent like Iguro, especially since Iguro's sword shape happened to be somewhat similar to Inosuke's.

They were undoubtedly far inferior in swordsmanship.

"Damn it!" With a wooden sword pressed against his face, Inosuke angrily pounded the ground before getting up.

Tanjiro clapped his hands, praising generously, "Inosuke is amazing!"

"I'll definitely win next time!" Inosuke said angrily.

Obanai Iguro didn't say much. Although he was a bit too noisy, he was indeed an excellent guy.

He shifted his gaze from Inosuke and turned to look at the crowd.

His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Nezuko at the very back.
