Chapter 125 The Butterfly Sisters, Contracts and Deals

"elder sister?!"

Shinobu Kocho stared wide-eyed at the face that had flashed through her memories countless times, unable to believe her eyes.

The next second, the girl lunged at her older sister, Kanae Kocho.

She buried her head in his chest, completely losing control of her expression and emotions: "I missed you so much!"

There was no pinching or squeezing of the face or arms to verify whether the woman in front of you was real.

Even if it's fake, Shinobu Kocho is willing to immerse herself in it for a short time.

"Yes, it's your older sister~"

Kanae Kocho held her younger sister Shinobu Kocho's petite body close, placing one hand on her head and gently patting her back with the other, comforting her little sister in her arms: "Shinobu, big sister is back~"

Shinobu Kocho, nestled in her older sister Kanae Kocho's arms, looked up at the familiar face she had longed for and murmured, "Sister, I have so much to tell you—"

"It's alright. Whatever Shinobu wants to say, I will patiently listen to her." Kanae Kocho said with a gentle smile.

So, under Kanae's comforting words, Shinobu Kocho told her a whole bunch of random things in fits and starts.

Perhaps due to heightened emotions, his words were somewhat incoherent.

However, Kanae Kocho did not show any disgust and patiently listened to Shinobu Kocho's heartfelt expression.

He nodded occasionally, responding softly to the other person's words.

What a beautiful scene of sisterly affection.

About half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho suddenly stopped confiding in her older sister, Kanae Kocho.

She pulled away from his embrace and said softly, "It's okay, thank you, sister. I feel much better now, and it's time for me to wake up."

Even at this moment, the girl still believed that she was dreaming.

Because she knew very well that her older sister had died two years ago.

It's impossible for it to appear in front of me; there's no other possibility than dreaming about it.

However, when she realized this, she did not choose to point it out.

Instead, she went along with the dream and derived a sense of satisfaction from the sister in the dream.

"Awake?"

Kanae Kocho tilted her head, looking at her younger sister Shinobu Kocho with a puzzled expression: "But, this isn't a dream."

As she spoke, Kanae Kocho reached out and gently pinched Shinobu Kocho's cheek, despite Shinobu's puzzled look.

"Oh, this—"

Shinobu Kocho could clearly feel the faint stinging sensation on her face, as well as the warmth emanating from her older sister Kanae Kocho's hand.

Shinobu Kocho stammered, "But—but—"

Her older sister, Kanae Kocho, should have died long ago.

But the feeling conveyed on their faces was so real.

Shinobu Kocho looked blankly at her older sister, Kanae Kocho, hoping she could provide an answer.

However, Kanae Kocho did not know how to respond to this situation.

She could only look to Su Yan, who had been sitting quietly to the side watching their sisterly affection, with pleading eyes.

After all, it was by some unknown means that the other party made his body solid last night, allowing him to touch his sister Shinobu Kocho again.

Su Yan first smiled at Kanae Butterfly, indicating that she could rest assured.

Then he turned his gaze to Shinobu Kocho and asked, "Shinobu, how is it? Is this good news surprising enough?"

Perhaps it was because her older sister, Kanae Kocho, was by her side, and also because she was facing someone who made her lower her guard and whom she had feelings for.

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho vaguely felt like she was transforming back into the impulsive, impatient, and hot-tempered little sister she used to be when her older sister was still alive.

Clinging to her older sister Kanae's arm, she glared fiercely at Su Yan and said, "You'd better hurry up and tell me, or I'll bite you to death!"

"ha?"

Seeing Shinobu Kocho's appearance, Su Yan was speechless, feeling both amused and exasperated.

However, she didn't keep him in suspense any longer and slowly explained, "Shinobu, do you know?"

"Actually, this world is very strange, because apart from the man-eating demons created by Muzan Kibutsuji, there are real demons in this world."

"Take your older sister, Kanae Kocho, for example!"

At this point, Su Yan paused and gave Kanae Butterfly a faint smile.

Then, turning back to Shinobu Kocho, he continued, "Indeed, your sister was killed by an Upper Moon demon two years ago."

"But because she couldn't let go of her obsession with you, she became a ghost after her death, always lingering around the Butterfly Mansion."

"I'm silently watching over you, my troublesome little sister, like a bound spirit."

"Sister, I'm sorry—"

Hearing Su Yan's words, Butterfly lowered her head in shame.

He never expected that his sister would be so attached to him, even after she died she kept lingering by his side, watching over him.

But I have failed my sister's expectations before she died.

Instead of leaving the Demon Slayer Corps and living a normal life as she wished, she did not.

On the contrary, they worked even harder than before.

Not only did he become the Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, he even arrogantly imitated his sister, wearing a disguise mask on his face.

While trying to avenge her sister, she also wanted to live on for her sister's sake.

No, it's me who's sorry.

Kanae Kocho hugged Shinobu Kocho and said, "From now on, I'll always be there for you—"

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Su Yan coughed twice, interrupting the two sisters' conversation, and said, "Although I don't really want to interrupt your sisterly affection, I have to give you a reminder."

"Miss Kanae, the power I provided you last night was limited; it's not enough to allow you to exist forever—"

"Eh?"

Kanae Butterfly's face froze instantly.

However, she quickly felt relieved.

Perhaps it is wrong for the dead to remain in the world.

She was already very satisfied that she was able to contact her sister with the help of Su Yan and make up for her last regret.

Perhaps it's time for me to become a Buddha?

"Shinobu, do you wish your sister could always be by your side?"

Su Yan was unaware of Kanae's thoughts at that moment, but instead told Shinobu about his initial plan.

"think!"

Shinobu Kocho replied earnestly, "Help me!"

"very good."

Su Yan nodded, then conjured two different parchments in each of his hands.

One parchment contains the power of a contract, while the other contains the equivalent exchange power that was used on Makomo once, allowing her to become his Nen beast.

Su Yan handed the two parchments to the two women and said, "As long as you sign your name on them, you will have the ability to see ghosts and, like me, to make ghosts materialize."

"And Ms. Kanae, as long as you agree to the terms of the deal and transfer all ownership of yourself to me, you can stay by Shinobu's side forever."

"Shinobu, you don't want your sister to just disappear, do you?"
