╯‵□︵┻━┻ Upon hearing her sister’s introduction, Shinobu Kocho’s mind trembled, and she stared blankly.
A wave of shock, disbelief, and confusion about how to react ensued.
Her reaction was less one of shock and more one of doubt about reality.
Pick up the Nichirin Blade that had fallen to the ground, and cautiously look around, wary of any demons that might suddenly attack from within the illusion.
Shinobu Kocho’s behavior wasn’t entirely without reason.
Try to put yourself in their shoes: you have an older sister who has been your only support since childhood.
My sister is very gentle, like the bright sun shining down on everything and warming people’s hearts; her gentleness is intoxicating.
No matter when, as long as you are in your sister’s arms, you have a little haven where you can sleep peacefully without being disturbed by anyone.
You spend every day together, talk about everything, are inseparable, rely on each other, and have no secrets from each other.
Your relationship is better than anything else!
Sister, you are the most precious and cherished person in this world!
She is my only family member!
However, one day, without any warning, your sister brought a strange man to you and said that this man was your brother-in-law.
At this point, what are your thoughts?
Shinobu’s idea was very simple and pure.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This must be Upper Moon Two’s Blood Demon Art!
To actually use this method to make me lose my fighting spirit, no wonder it’s an Upper Moon demon that hasn’t been defeated for hundreds of years.
Such a psychological attack is extremely insidious and cunning!
Shinobu’s eyebrows were furrowed, and her pinkish-purple eyes, which gave a gentle and clear impression, were as sharp as a knife.
The saying goes that no one knows a child better than their mother, well, an elder sister is like a mother, an elder sister is like a mother…
Seeing her younger sister’s sudden wary behavior, Kanae immediately knew what was going on in her little head and couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly.
“Shinobu,” Kanae Kocho chuckled, patting her younger sister’s head.
“This isn’t an illusion created by Blood Demon Art; it’s an undeniable fact!” Her gentle smile, like a flower bud blooming, and the sound of her voice, like a warm summer evening breeze, all proved that the person in front of her was her older sister, not a figment of imagination created by outsiders.
“But…” But how could that be!
Suddenly having a brother-in-law is something Shinobu Kocho can’t possibly accept!
“I know it’s hard for you to accept right now,” Kanae Kocho gently stroked the long hair of the girl beside her.
“But it’s the truth, and I don’t want to lie to you.” This is her only family in the world.
“elder sister!” Like a kitten abandoned by its owner in a torrential downpour, whimpering softly, Shinobu Kocho suddenly pounced into her older sister’s arms.
It wasn’t that she was against her sister dating; what made Shinobu Kocho feel disappointed was that she had no idea her sister already had someone she liked!
And they’ve even progressed to discussing marriage!
This created a rift in the relationship between the Shinobu sisters, a heavy, oppressive feeling like an abyss, accumulating in their chests, threatening to burst like a dam about to burst.
“Shinobu, sweetie, don’t be angry…” Kanae’s gentle voice sounded like she was coaxing a child.
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you, it’s just that Bai Qi’s identity is a bit special, and this matter is actually quite complicated…” Having regained her memories as Bai Qi, how could Kocho Kanae possibly endure the harsh life of Japan’s Taisho era—no internet, no cell phone, no computer, no games, not even toilet paper!
Kibutsuji Muzan, you deserve to die!
If it weren’t for the existence of Demons in the world, Kanae Kocho would already be packing her bags and preparing to go to the modern world with Bai Qi!
Right now, she must complete the great task of exterminating demons and avenge her parents in this world before she can leave without any regrets.
Of course, how could Kanae neglect her family, whom she spends every day with?
Even if there’s no way now, once a powerful figure like Bai Qi enters the space in the future, there will definitely be a way to allow others to travel through it.
At that time, Kanae will bring Shinobu to modern society!
Therefore, Kanae Kocho’s current interpretation is laying the groundwork for a possible future world travel.
I don’t want to lie to my sister, but there are some things I can’t say directly, and I’m a little troubled.
Kanae Kocho hugged her younger sister tightly.
An immense sense of oppression washed over her, making Shinobu Kocho feel suffocated.
Kanae Kocho noticed Shinobu Kocho’s struggle and quickly let go of her hand.
Shinobu Kocho finally broke free of the soft restraints, panting heavily as she looked at Bai Qi, “Special identity?
Is the matter complicated?” The overwhelming truth caused Shinobu Kocho’s brain to completely shut down, and she was only able to think after she had barely calmed down.
First of all, Bai Qi and Reverie don’t look like ordinary people.
Judging from the name Bai Qi, her brother-in-law is most likely from the country across the ocean.
Sneakers, black casual trousers, and a light blue hooded sweatshirt—modern clothing felt unfamiliar to a girl from the Taisho era.
Especially Reverie, whose long hair was adorned with black silk ribbons, and whose slender black skirt accentuated her waist.
Even stained with blood, her original texture could still be felt.
Shinobu Kocho had never seen such exquisite clothing.
The item emitting a faint purple light not far away was likely also the work of these two.
Both of them had fair skin, non-calloused hands, and an air of dignified confidence; they were clearly of noble birth.
And they’re not just an ordinary nobleman; they’re likely a prince and princess from the highest echelons of the nobility.
Shinobu Kocho is not an inexperienced little girl.
She joined the Demon Slayer Corps to fight monsters and traveled the world for many years, seeing all sorts of things, from the mansions of noble families to the streets where beggars roam.
In an instant, Shinobu Kocho was overwhelmed with thoughts, and the intertwined relationships and entanglements between the scions of various powerful families played out in her mind.
Brothers turned against each other, family feuds erupted, forcing him to wander in Japan, where he unexpectedly encountered her sister…
Does this seem reasonable?
Although every time she talks to her sister about marriage, she always says things like, “I’d rather kill more Demons that bring disaster to humanity than talk about love”…
but when she meets someone she likes, she still can’t suppress her feelings.
In reality, Kanae Kocho had no interest in men or love; she originally intended to live a solitary life, but used the excuse of killing demons to appease her sister.
Shinobu Kocho wore a thoughtful expression.
My sister has indeed reached the age where she should get married.
Or rather, if she’s still not married at 17, people will start gossiping if she waits another two years.
Shinobu Kocho had also tried to persuade her older sister.
“Slaying demons is not something that can be accomplished overnight.” “If everyone thinks like this, how can the Demon Slayer Corps continue?
Our Master married Lady Amane when he was thirteen, and she was seventeen.” and similar remarks.
Shinobu Kocho realized long ago that her older sister would eventually leave her to find her own happiness.
She felt a slight sense of loss, but mostly joy; her sister had found someone she could entrust her life to.
But the problem was… Her very close sister was completely unaware of this!
Shinobu glared angrily at her sister, “Sister, when did you get married?
Why didn’t you tell me!” “Don’t look at me like that!” Kanae Kocho blinked.
“Actually, we’re not married yet.” “What?
So you’re not married yet…” Shinobu Kocho sighed with relief, but then suddenly looked up at Bai Qi with a sharp gaze.
Could it be that this guy doesn’t want to?
Just as Shinobu was about to ask, she heard her older sister speak, her tone completely different from her usual gentle and soft one, now resolute and decisive!
“However, this matter has been confirmed.
Your brother-in-law can absolutely not be anyone other than Bai Qi.” Shinobu Kocho was slightly taken aback; it seemed her sister really liked her brother-in-law.
“Hello, Shinobu.
Although this is our first meeting, Kanae often talks about you to me.
You are her most precious little sister, so you are also my most precious little sister!” Bai Qi works in tandem with Kocho Kanae.
“Hello brother-in-law.” Under Kanae’s gaze, Shinobu Kocho spoke through slightly gritted teeth.
Then she shook her head abruptly, as if she had made a decision.
She took Kanae Kocho’s hand, the little girl’s eyes a little red.
“No, no!
We can’t rush into marriage.
If you want to marry her, you have to get past me first!” Suddenly, Shinobu hugged her sister, her red and pinkish-purple eyes fixed on Bai Qi, and said seriously, “You have to pass my test!” “We still need to investigate…” The tone of annoyance wasn’t Bai Qi’s, but rather that of Kocho Kanae.
Butterfly Shinobu was silent for a moment, looking at her sister with a hint of grievance and complaint.
After noticing Bai Qi’s smiling gaze, she immediately turned her head away.
“Of course!
My sister is so gentle, I have to make sure she won’t be bullied by you after you get married!” Shinobu Kocho kept a straight face, trying to appear serious.
But she looked so cute that Bai Qi and Kocho Kanae exchanged a glance and burst out laughing at the same time.
It wasn’t quite right for the older sister to laugh at her younger sister, who was standing up for her, so Kanae Kocho tried to suppress her laughter, pursing her lips and puffing out her pink cheeks.
Bai Qi and Kanae reached out and gently stroked the girl’s head, speaking in unison in a drawn-out tone, as if coaxing a child.
“Alright, alright…
Shinobu, if you want to test me, then test me.
You can test me for as long as you want!” Shinobu Kocho glanced left at her sister, who was trying not to laugh, and right at Bai Qi, who was smiling gently, feeling offended.
It was as if she were joking; she was completely superfluous.
The two of them are like this…
What’s the point of her even investigating?!
