Chapter 116 Shinobu's Warning and Request

Faced with Su Yan's question, Kurihana Kanao pulled out a coin from her kimono.

The word "表" is engraved on one side of the coin, and the word "里" is engraved on the other side.

Kurihana Kanao clutched the coin tightly in her hand, glanced up at Su Yan, and then looked down at the coin in her hand.

Su Yan knew that the girl in front of him suffered from severe autism because she had been taken back to the Butterfly Mansion by Kanae and Shinobu when she was a child.

At first, it was so severe that it was like a robot that only obeyed other people's instructions.

It was only under the careful care of the two sisters that he slowly began to improve.

However, they still can't make decisions on their own in normal times.

Therefore, when faced with a problem, they will use the result of a coin toss to decide their next course of action.

However, at this moment, when faced with the question posed by Su Yan, Kurihana Kanao tightly gripped the hard market in her hand.

A hint of conflicted emotion unexpectedly appeared in her pink eyes.

Beads of sweat began to gather on his forehead, sliding down his delicate face.

"Brother Su Yan, what's wrong with her?"

Mi Douzi couldn't understand why Su Yan only asked this exquisite young girl a simple question.

The other party hesitated for such a long time.

If you ask her, I'm sure I can give you an answer quickly.

"Shhh."

Su Yan didn't speak, but shook his head at Ni Douzi, signaling the other to shush.

Looking at the conflicted Kanao Tsuyuri, Su Yan wondered if his question could be the key to unlocking her inner self.

If this doesn't work, what if we let Kanae Kocho appear in front of the other party again later?

If it were possible, both Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho would surely be happy for her, right?

"Insect Breathing! Bee Fang Dance! True Dance!"

However, even faster than Kanao Tsuyuri's choice came a sharp, cold glint.

This attack didn't target Su Yan's vital points; rather than an assassination, it was more like a...

warn?!

Even so, if he were to take that hit without using the Binding Technique, he would probably have a hole punched in his body.

Su Yan didn't want to be hit like this for no reason, so she immediately turned her body to the side and easily dodged the sudden attack.

"Brother Su Yan, are you alright?"

Midouzi first worriedly searched Su Yan's body, and only after confirming that he had not been injured in the attack just now did she realize that he had not been harmed in any way.

Only then did he turn his gaze to the person who had suddenly attacked Su Yan not far away.

Her voice laced with anger, she said, "Sister Ren, why did you suddenly attack Brother Su Yan? Aren't you friends?"

That's right, the one who suddenly attacked Su Yan with the Insect Breathing sword form was its creator, Shinobu Kocho.

"Shinobu?"

Su Yan tilted her head and looked at Shinobu Kocho, equally puzzled by her sudden attack.

"No! You mustn't harm this child!!"

Shinobu Kocho held Kanao Tsuyuri in her arms and said coldly to Su Yan.

Even the deliberate smile that she always maintained on her face vanished at this moment, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented seriousness.

Then, she quickly changed her tone, her usual smile returning to her face, and said in a lighthearted voice, "Hey, Mr. Scumbag, you can do whatever you want to me."

"But please, please don't hurt this child, or I'll really get angry."

For Shinobu Kocho, after her older sister Kanae Kocho died, there was the Butterfly House that she and her sister had built together, and the girl named Kanao Tsuyuri that they had adopted.

It was used to maintain the only two remaining connections between her and her older sister, Kanae Kocho.

As long as Su Yan can eliminate Muzan and Upper Moon Two, who killed his sister Kanae, he can do whatever he wants to her.

Even if it means being seen as a substitute for her older sister, it doesn't matter.

But this one child is absolutely not allowed!!

Upon hearing this, Su Yan was speechless.

It seems Shinobu Kocho misunderstood.

No wonder it suddenly attacked me, but the attack wasn't fatal. It was really a warning, wasn't it?

However, Su Yan could understand it.

In the original story, after Shinobu Kocho became the Insect Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, she was the only one besides Kanao Tsuyuri, whom she initially adopted along with her sister Kanae Kocho.

She actually raised three stepsons, all of whom later successfully passed the Demon Slayer Corps' selection process and became members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, they did not survive; they all died during the subsequent demon-slaying process.

Only Kanao Tsuyuri, although she learned the Flower Breathing technique created by Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho never considered having her join the Demon Slayer Corps.

Perhaps even teaching the other party the Flower Breathing technique was just to give Kanao Tsuyuri a little more self-protection ability?

What I didn't expect was that Kanao Tsuyukiro would secretly go and participate in the Demon Slayer Corps selection process, which was in the same year as the main characters.

This was also the first time in her life that Kanao Tsuyuri had made a decision on her own.

"Can I explain, Shinobu?"

Su Yan could only give Shinobu a helpless smile.

Shinobu Kocho responded softly, "Yes, I'm listening."

Even so, Shinobu Kocho instinctively shielded Kanao Tsuyuri, whom she was holding, behind her back.

There was absolutely no indication that he intended to believe Su Yan.

Su Yan had no choice but to explain to the other party the question she had just asked Kurihana Kanao and her thoughts.

And the conflicted look on the other person's face when they were asked this question—like they wanted to flip a coin but didn't want to.

"Kanao, so you missed your sister too?"

Shinobu Kocho turned to look at Kanao Tsuyuri, who was still struggling with her decision, her words carrying a hint of relief.

The smile on his face also seemed more genuine.

She could easily figure out why the other person was hesitant.

Because it involves his older sister, Kanae Kocho, flipping a coin is a habit he's developed over the years when facing problems.

I didn't flip a coin because I didn't want the coin to make a decision about Kanae that I didn't want her to make.

Thinking of this, Shinobu couldn't help but wonder if her older sister would be happy to see this.

He then pulled Kanao Tsuyuri into his arms, stroking her hair as he whispered, "Kanao, please, only when it comes to your sister, don't decide by flipping a coin, okay?"

"Hmm~"

Although the sound was very soft, Shinobu Kocho definitely heard it.

"Thanks."

Shinobu Kocho thanked Su Yan softly, her tone becoming much gentler.

Then, she took Kanao Tsuyuri's small hand and took the initiative to send a signal of closeness to Su Yan, saying, "Aoi Kanzaki has prepared dinner. Mr. Scumbag, why don't you come along too?"

night.

Just as Su Yan was about to take Makomo back to Greed Island.

A gentle voice came from outside the door.

"Moshi moshi, may I come in now?"
