Chapter 112 The Invisible Girl, Kanae Butterfly

Butterfly House.

Looking at the place before me, where I had once built the business with my older sister, Kanae Kocho, and lived with her for quite some time—

Home!

Shinobu's expression became somewhat complicated, and she softly uttered, "I'm back."

Everyone has their own place of peace and tranquility.

For Shinobu Kocho, the Butterfly Mansion before her was her safe haven.

Perhaps because she had returned here, the girl's eyes, which had long lost their color due to the death of her loved ones, regained a glimmer of light.

Even the fake smile that she always wore seemed to have become more real since returning to the Butterfly Mansion.

Just then, a girl with long, straight black hair approached Shinobu Kocho, her voice gentle yet nagging as she surrounded her, chattering like a long-winded old woman: "Oh dear, Shinobu's back?"

"Why did you stay out for so long this time?"

"Has the Demon Slayer Corps assigned Shinobu some complicated mission again?"

"I already said I didn't want to see Shinobu working so hard, but she still insists on pushing herself so hard. Honestly."

"But it's okay, as long as your older sister is here, Shinobu can feel free to act cute with her anytime."

"By the way, Shinobu must be hungry since she just got back, right?"

"I just went to the kitchen and saw that Xiao Kui prepared your favorite side dishes in advance. We should be able to eat soon."

"And Kanao, Shinobu, let me tell you, that girl is getting less and less cute lately."

"And Naho and the other girls have been getting more and more troublesome lately. Last time when you weren't around, they almost accidentally burned the kitchen down."

"Shinobu, you really should discipline them properly."

"And there's more—"

The girl with long, straight black hair surrounded Shinobu Kocho, seemingly tireless, enthusiastically telling her about the trivial things that happened at the Butterfly Mansion while she was away.

Shinobu Kocho ignored him completely, not even glancing at him.

Seeing this, the girl with long, straight black hair couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

However, he soon noticed Su Yan standing behind Shinobu Kocho.

He immediately became interested again, first glancing at Su Yan, then saying to Shinobu Kocho with a teasing look, "Oh my, Shinobu actually brought a man back this time, that's quite rare."

However, the result was the same: Shinobu Kocho ignored her completely, as if she didn't exist.

So the girl with long, straight black hair turned to Su Yan and asked, "Hey, what's your relationship with my Xiao Ren?"

"I think you're quite good-looking, and you seem to be a good match for my little Ren."

"How many people are in your family? Do you own a house or land?"

"No, none of that matters. As long as you marry my Shinobu, this entire Butterfly Mansion can be considered Shinobu's dowry. Aren't you excited?"

"So hurry up and tell your sister, how far have you and my little Ren gone? Have you kissed yet?"

"Let me tell you, don't let my little Ren's strong appearance fool you, she's actually very sensitive inside."

"I remember when I was little, one night when it was thundering outside, Shinobu ran to my room crying and said she was scared and wanted to sleep with her older sister."

"How is it? Isn't Shinobu adorable?"

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

As she spoke, the girl with long, straight black hair, who had not received a response, slowly lowered her head.

Yes, I actually died two years ago.

Because he couldn't bear to leave his younger sister, his spirit lingered around the Butterfly Mansion after his death.

No one can see me, and no one can hear what I say.

But she's gotten used to it.

She was used to watching Kanzaki Aoi, who was like a head butler, manage the affairs of the Butterfly Mansion every day.

Kanao sits quietly in the yard every day, lost in thought.

Watching the three little ones play and frolic in the Butterfly House every day.

It was as if everything was still the same as before.

Except for her younger sister, Shinobu Kocho, who is a real worry for me.

After her death, her younger sister Shinobu Kocho followed her example and began to wear a mask of a fake smile on her face.

He had clearly advised her before he died to leave the Demon Slayer Corps and live a normal life.

She gave up killing demons, got married and had children, and sought the happiness that belongs to an ordinary girl.

But right under her nose, the other person was drifting further and further away from the direction she had hoped for.

"You're right, Xiao Ren is indeed quite cute," Su Yan nodded in response.

"Right? Right? Shinobu is the cutest girl in the world!"

The girl with long, straight black hair replied instinctively.

He was immediately stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Her body began to tremble slightly involuntarily. She looked up at Su Yan, her face filled with disbelief, and asked cautiously, "You can see me?"

"Um.

""

Su Yan responded softly.

"Can you really see me?"

But the girl with long, straight black hair still couldn't believe it and tried to speak again, even shifting the position of her feet.

But he found that Su Yan's gaze remained fixed on him.

The girl with long, straight black hair asked timidly, "So you heard everything I just said?"

"I heard everything."

Su Yan nodded to the girl, then emphasized again, "All of them!"

"this----"

The girl with long, straight black hair spoke with a hint of pleading: "Could you forget what I just said?"

"cannot."

Su Yan shook his head, a playful smile playing on his lips as he teased, "It's not just that Shinobu, as the younger sister, is cute."

"Kanae, as the older sister, is also adorable when she's talking to herself while surrounding her younger sister."

Yes, the girl with long, straight black hair in front of you is none other than Shinobu Kocho's older sister, Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar who was killed by Upper Moon Two two years ago.

Even Su Yan himself hadn't expected it.

He had originally planned to search the surrounding area after arriving at the Butterfly Mansion to see if he could find the soul of Shinobu Kocho's older sister, Kanae Kocho.

Unexpectedly, he had just covered his eyes with a layer of air, using the technique of condensation.

They haven't even had a chance to look for it yet.

The other person then came up to them on their own.

What is this?

Walking right into a trap?

Su Yan could only watch quietly as Kanae Kocho showed her deep sisterly affection for her younger sister Shinobu Kocho.

However, Su Yan could understand why Kanae's personality seemed a bit different from the original work.

After all, unlike Makomo and the others on Mount Sagiri, she was all alone in the Butterfly Mansion.

No one could see her, and no one spoke to her.

If I don't keep talking to myself like this, I might go crazy in the long run, right?

"ah?!"

Kanae Butterfly's fair cheeks flushed red at a visible speed, as if the air itself had become scorching.

Her jade toes, encased in tabi socks, awkwardly gripped the wooden clogs beneath her feet.

The man in front of her knew about her unknown side and some secrets about herself and her sister, Shinobu.

And he said it himself?!

Society is dead!

At this moment, Kanae Kocho felt utterly hopeless!
