Sister-in-law?
23: Chapter 23: Sister?
Sister-in-law?
The clear moonlight spilled onto the ground like mercury.
A sudden gust of wind arose, and a petite figure darted swiftly through the woods.
Her hair was dark and flowing, her feathered robes fluttered, her waist was slender and graceful.
A gentle breeze lifted her clothes, and the butterfly feathers spread out in the air, as if the butterflies were dancing.
However, this beautiful young girl’s face was full of anxiety and fear.
The girl’s name is Shinobu Kocho, and she is Kanae Kocho’s younger sister, her biological sister!
As dusk fell, Shinobu Kocho was tending to the wounded at the Butterfly Mansion, when a black scabbard crow flew down from the sky, bringing news that shook the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
“Kanae Kocho encounters Upper Moon Two!” Wind up!
That’s an Upper Moon demon!
The Demon Slayer Corps has not defeated an Upper Moon demon in nearly a century, and the records left by their predecessors objectively describe the terror of the Upper Moon demons.
Anxious and impatient, Shinobu couldn’t wait for the support team to gather.
She rushed out of the Butterfly House and headed straight for the location where her sister had encountered the Upper Moon.
Shinobu’s parents were killed by demons in front of her, and she could only tremble and cry in her sister’s arms.
The current Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, arrived in time, destroyed the demons, and saved the Shinobu sisters.
From then on, the two sisters depended on each other for survival.
After their parents’ funeral, Shinobu and her sister found Himejima and asked to join the Demon Slayer Corps.
The two sisters exercise together, practice together, and grow together.
My older sister is Shinobu Kocho’s only remaining family member in the world!
My only family member!
The person I cherish most!
In the original future, after her older sister’s death, Shinobu Kocho even transformed herself into her sister in terms of personality, smile, mannerisms, and so on.
This shows how deep the sisters’ affection is.
Sister…
Please be alright!
Finally nearing its destination, Shinobu gritted her teeth, stomped on a tree trunk, and propelled her small body forward with the force of the impact, causing the trees on either side to rush past her as she burst out of the lush forest.
“Sister!
Sister…” The panicked shouts abruptly stopped, replaced by blank and bewildered expressions.
What Shinobu Kocho saw was an extremely bizarre scene.
The older sister and two strangers squatted together, forming a circle, and used their Nichirin Blades to repeatedly poke the head in the center.
You can faintly hear cheerful voices such as “Recover, recover…” and “Is that not enough?” Shinobu landed on her feet, her body slightly staggering, almost losing her balance.
Upon hearing her sister’s call, Kanae Kocho jumped to her feet, followed by Bai Qi and Reverie, all three of them beaming with delight.
With deeply synchronized memories, Bai Qi, from the perspective of Kocho Kanae, experiences her emotions and lives with Kocho Shinobu.
Without a doubt, Kanae Kocho’s sister is his sister!
“Shinobu, what brings you here?” Kanae Kocho asked with a gentle smile.
“How could I possibly stay still after hearing the report from Kasugai that my sister had encountered an Upper Moon…
By the way, sister, what about Upper Moon Two?” The short-haired girl had a serious expression.
The mint-colored butterfly hair clip with a deep purple edge fluttered behind her head.
She drew her Nichirin Blade with swift movements and went into alert mode.
“Upper Moon Two, look, he’s right here!” Kanae turned to the side and pointed to Doma, whose upper body was only partially intact and whose lower body was in a state of complete destruction.
The original extremely evil demon lay face up, its face as bewildered as if it were lost in thought.
After being ravaged by high-explosive grenades for several hours, his body was shattered nearly a hundred times.
Bai Qi and the others didn’t know if he could recover, but Douma seemed to have no intention of recovering.
Anyway, after recovering, all I got were high-explosive grenades or Reverie and Bai Qi’s sword skills…
Yeah, they were using Doma’s body as a live target for practice.
A Gatling gun and an ultraviolet lamp with a slight inhibitory effect on Demon recovery were also nearby…
Doma was too lazy to bother recovering; he’d rather just wait for the sun to rise.
Even if you have no feelings, no matter how fearless you are, you shouldn’t be interested in being abused.
The girl’s eyes widened adorably, almost unable to believe her ears, “Sister, what did you say!” “This is Upper Moon Two!” Her expression was one of astonishment; Shinobu’s pinkish-purple eyes were filled with shock.
This young man, cruelly tortured to the point of despair, is the Upper Moon demon who has murdered countless people!
Doma ignored Shinobu’s astonished gaze and continued to stare blankly at the increasingly faint moon shadow in the sky.
With her cherry lips slightly parted, Shinobu Kocho raised her head in a daze, surveying the desolate scene around her that resembled hell.
The dripping blood seeped into the cracked soil, and the air was filled with the smell of burning ash, as if the ground and buildings had been ravaged.
All of this indicates that an extremely fierce battle took place here.
Shinobu Kocho knows her older sister very well.
Her sister, who became the Flower Pillar, is indeed very powerful, but it is impossible for her to cause such terrifying destruction.
Is this the power of the Upper Moon?
What a monster!
Butterfly couldn’t help but feel a chilling fear.
Her eyes slowly swept over the ruined battlefield before refocusing on her feet.
“But, sister, why don’t you cut off his head?” Shinobu sheathed her sword and stood still, her serious and solemn expression revealing a hint of doubt.
It’s almost sunrise, but the sun hasn’t appeared yet.
Only by cutting off the demons’ heads with a Nichirin Blade can they truly be killed!
“That’s because there are other uses for him,” Bai Qi replied gently and kindly.
She had been observing these two unfamiliar faces the whole time, and now that Bai Qi spoke, Kocho Shinobu’s gaze officially turned to them.
Blinking, Shinobu Kocho was certain that she had never seen these two people before.
But the gentle smile on the black-haired youth’s face felt subtly familiar to her; his familiar, soft gaze gave her an inexplicable feeling of facing an elder.
Shinobu Kocho composed herself and asked politely and curiously, “Excuse me, who are you?” “Me?” Bai Qi and Reverie exchanged a glance, a slight smile playing on their lips, before turning to look at Kocho Kanae.
Shinobu Kocho paused slightly, her bewildered gaze then falling on her older sister.
The moonlight was excessively gentle, its soft glow illuminating the girl’s delicate features and eyes, making them even more captivating.
The hazy, pinkish-purple light rippled like glistening dewdrops on pink petals in the early spring morning.
Under Shinobu’s bewildered gaze, Kanae curled the ends of her hair with her slender, delicate fingers, seemingly a little embarrassed.
What, what’s going on?
“Ahem, Shinobu.” Kanae coughed twice and extended her hand to Bai Qi.
“Come on, let me formally introduce you.
This is Bai Qi, your brother-in-law!” A sudden clap of thunder!
Shinobu Kocho felt a sudden, deafening roar in her head, as if Muzan had exploded from within her mind, leaving her completely blank and bewildered.
Even her Nichirin Blade fell to the ground.
She was completely shocked!
“Sister, sister-brother-in-law!” Shinobu Kocho suddenly looked up, her pretty face filled with disbelief, her high-pitched voice gradually turning into a sharp one.
“Hmm…” Based on her relationship with Bai Qi, there are only two options.
First, family; second, partner.
Faced with his own sister, the former would be the first to be eliminated, and then…
is there even a need to choose?
Kanae Kocho showed no hesitation or agonizing; her gentle voice contained unwavering determination.
With her mouth agape, Shinobu Kocho seemed to have lost her hearing from the overwhelming shock…
She turned her head away haltingly, like a rusty robot.
Before her eyes came a black-haired young man with a gentle smile.
She finally understood the reason for his amiable attitude, but…
Is this really reality?
Shinobu stared blankly at Doma lying on the ground, but her eyes were unfocused.
Could it be that I’ve been hit by Upper Moon Two’s Blood Demon Art?
