(Demon Slayer) -- CHAPTER 36: The Kocho Sisters

"Let him go!"

"Go to hell!"

Two screams sounded at the same time and two figures appeared in Yuri's vision. Their movements were as if they were carved from the same mold, like a pair of butterflies flying gracefully in the violent storm.

"Breath of Flowers - Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum!"

"Butterfly Dance - Whim!"

The moment the first one started attacking, it sent arcing slashes in all directions. The trajectory was like the petals of a plum blossom.

The latter moved as lightly as a butterfly and quickly used his blade that had a stinger-like tip to sting Yuri several times.

Kanae, who was the first to attack, realized that something was wrong, especially when she saw Yuri's clear eyes, she suddenly realized that he seemed to be human?

She was about to change the direction of her attack and send a reminder to her sisters.

At that moment, Yuri, who had been training in the Tsukuyomi space for six days, drew his Katana almost instinctively.

"Hinokami Kagura - Ninth Form: Sun Dragon Halo Dance."

Yuri took a tall stance as he unleashed a fast and powerful continuous attack that seemingly takes the form of a Japanese dragon made of solar flames.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

Yuri quickly received and countered all of the blows from both.

His blade forming a dragon of flames that, in an instant, struck and sent the two women away.

Yuri greatly reduced the power of his attack so as not to hurt the two while his last attack he avoided hitting them by aiming for the ground.

A small crater formed where his blade hit.

Kanae managed to greatly mitigate her flight by stepping on some trees. She felt that her arms were numb and she couldn't lift herself up.

But Shinobu, who had a much weaker physical constitution, had to roll on the grass several times before she managed to turn around. The originally pretty and adorable girl was covered in grass in a miserable state.

Yuri looked at the two sisters' clothes and was happy to recognize their identities.

It seems that this should take place about two years before the plot begins. Kanae has not yet been devoured by Douma.

"Shinobu, he's human!"

Seeing her younger sister struggling to get up, Kanae quickly reminded her.

This made Shinobi look surprised.

If he is a human being, then what is being dragged by him is... a demon?

"Demon Slayer Corps!"

"You are from the Demon Slayer corps!"

Rui was extremely excited at this moment.

"Please kill me quickly!"

Kocho Sisters:? ? ?

"What did he say?" Shinobu looked at her sister in disbelief.

"He asked us to kill him?" Kanae also felt like she was dreaming.

The two women felt that there was something wrong with their worldview, but the word "inferior" in the eyes of the demon in front of them was actually true.

What happened to make this demon want them to kill him?

Unexpectedly, this young man managed to make a Nethermoon so afraid!

Kanae and Shinobu looked at Yuri with confusion and curiosity.

At this moment, he was skillfully punching Rui in the back of the head. With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the demon didn't make a sound and didn't struggle anymore.

Yuri held the tired Rui with satisfaction. When he noticed the two women's gaze, he raised his head and gave a gentle smile that seemed harmless to humans and animals.

"This kid is really noisy, so I'll let him get some sleep."

"That's not sleeping!"

At this moment, young Shinobu couldn't help but complain:

"If it were anyone else, he would have died a long time ago."

"But this is a demon. I always thought they were better off dead. Don't you think so?"

"Well, I agree with that." Shinobu suddenly had a good impression of the person in front of her.

Unlike her sister who has sympathy for these demons.

Shinobu hates demons very much. His parents were killed by demons. After her parents died, she made a promise to Kanae to eliminate demons as much as possible and not allow others to have the same experience as them.

She also strongly agrees with Yuri's words.

At this time, Shinobu looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Before her sister died, she had a straightforward personality that did not hide her thoughts. Looking at Yuri in front of her, she asked:

"You are the swordsman who uses the long-lost Breath of the Sun, right? Can you go see the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad?"

"This is not impossible. It turns out that I also have some matters with him."

At the very least, the base Demon Slayer corps must have the secrets of the five basic breathing styles: water breathing, thunder breathing, fire breathing, rock breathing, and wind breathing.

Otherwise, relying solely on individual teaching and word of mouth, with nothing written for almost a thousand years, it would be difficult to pass on sword techniques and skills.

Yuri planned to collect some and take them back to teach Gwen and Felicia.

In any case, this type of breathing method can be very useful for them.

"It will be dawn in two or three hours. We will leave after the sun rises."

Yuri pointed to Rui who was sleeping.

"I promised him I would let him sunbathe."

Shinobu and Kanae showed subtle expressions at the same time.

-------

No one knows where the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters is hidden.

If ordinary people want to know, they need to contact the retired pillars. As their strength decreases as they grow older, they will serve as trainers, select swordsmen with potential and send them to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer corps.

If this type of swordsman wants to join the team, he must undergo a rigorous evaluation. The exam involves surviving seven consecutive nights on top of Fujikasane Mountain, relying solely on one's own resources, with no outside assistance. Candidates who manage to survive all seven nights successfully are given the opportunity to join the esteemed ranks of the Demon Slayer Corps as official Demon Slayers.

Of course, Yuri, who killed one of the lower moons, was allowed to be in the main headquarters, which is the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Because the leadership of the Demon Slayer Corps has been held by the descendants of a family called Ubuyashiki for generations. The original Demon Slayer Corps was also formed by this family, so the place where the leader lives is the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, the residence of the Ubuyashiki family.
