Chapter 97 Shinobu Kocho: Ugh, you scumbag!

"My sister's ex-boyfriend?"

Upon hearing Su Yan's words, Shinobu Kocho was so shocked that the fake smile she had been maintaining on her face vanished.

He subconsciously scrutinized Su Yan carefully.

Black hair and black eyes, excellent modeling.

At first glance, it seems ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it gives people a sense of unfathomable depth.

So this is the type my sister likes?

"Soga!"

Tanjiro, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized and said, "No wonder these two Demon Slayer Corps leaders don't recognize Mr. Su Yan, but Mr. Su Yan does recognize these two leaders."

"So Mr. Su Yan's ex-girlfriend was actually a member of the Demon Slayer Corps? No wonder."

"Hey, Shinobu Kocho, for the sake of your sister Kanae."

Su Yan didn't refute, but smiled and extended her hand to Shinobu Kocho, making her third request for reconciliation: "Can we reconcile?"

"hehe."

Butterfly sneered.

She quickly realized that she had lived with her older sister since she was a child, and they depended on each other for survival.

If my sister really had a boyfriend, I would definitely know.

Moreover, she didn't believe her sister would hide something so important from her.

It seems that this guy is definitely lying.

Shinobu Kocho slapped Su Yan's hand away and retorted, "Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Why not?" Su Yan asked softly.

"If what you're saying is true, then fine, I'll ask you, why have I never seen you before?"

Shinobu Kocho retorted, "And where were you the day my sister was killed by a demon?"

It was just a casual remark, meant to tease the girl in front of him.

But seeing how serious the other party was, Su Yan couldn't help but become interested.

After thinking for a moment, he began to fabricate a story, which was nine parts false and one part true: "My name is Su Yan. You should be able to guess from my name that I am not from the island nation, but from that great country to the west of your island nation."

"About two and a half years ago, I came to this country to study and met that girl who was as beautiful as a flower."

"That is, your older sister, Kanae Kocho!"

"Although we only spent one day together, Kanae's image is deeply etched in my heart."

"We talked a lot that day, about ghost stories, the Demon Slayer Corps, and her two younger sisters."

"A reckless and impulsive girl, Shinobu."

"And another autistic girl who doesn't know how to communicate with people, Kanao."

"I once told her that I hoped to leave this country with her and her sister and live a normal life."

"But Kanae refused. She said she had made a promise with her sister that she would stay and kill as many evil spirits as possible so that the pain she had suffered would not befall more people."

"Not long after that day, I returned to China."

"It wasn't until I returned to this country not long ago that I vaguely learned that Kanae had passed away."

"As for why Kanae didn't tell you about me, I have no idea."

"this----"

After hearing what Su Yan said, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but doubt whether what he said was true.

His older sister was killed by an Upper Moon demon two years ago.

And it was only on the day her sister died that she began to imitate her sister's personality and pretend to be her sister.

If you're not familiar with your past, you'd never know that you used to be an impulsive person.

As for the agreement with her sister, that's a secret between the two sisters.

He didn't tell anyone.

Then she recalled that her older sister had said something similar to her before she died, urging her to leave the Demon Slayer Corps and live the life of an ordinary girl.

Could it be that...?

Is this man in front of me really my brother-in-law?

"Although you're a little different from Kanae's description, you must be the younger sister Shinobu she mentioned, right?"

Su Yan said gently, "If there's a chance, could you take me to the Butterfly Mansion sometime in the future?"

"I want to see the place where Kanae once lived."

Su Yan said this with a purpose in mind.

In the world of Demon Slayer, there is actually a concept called soul.

It just rarely happens.

Aside from the fact that Giyu Tomioka's fellow disciples, who were originally with the Water Pillar, appeared once to instruct Tanjiro on the secrets of Water Breathing.

Other deceased souls almost always appear only in the presence of their closest relatives in a revolving lantern display.

For example, whenever the protagonist Tanjiro is in mortal danger, a deceased relative always appears in his recurring flashback to wake him up in time.

And after Upper Moon Three Akaza's head was cut off, he saw the soul of his lover Koyuki, recalled the past, and decisively chose to end his own life.

There was also the soul of her older sister, Kanae, that Butterfly saw before she died.

If we say that the essence of breathing techniques is a kind of alternative method of mental cultivation.

These souls are very likely to be a special concept similar to "post-death thought" in Hunter x Hunter.

In this way, the power of the contract is utilized.

There is a possibility that, like Hisoka, the toilet warrior who died once in Hunter x Hunter, he could be resurrected using the power of Nen after death.

Unfortunately, Su Yan had already used the "凝" (Ning) technique to survey the surrounding area.

No sign of Shinobu's older sister, Kanae Kocho, was found near her.

Based on the available information, Su Yan made a guess.

In the world of Demon Slayer, the souls of some people who die with unwavering obsessions may remain in the places that hold the deepest memories of their lives.

For example, Seito and Makomo have remained near the former residence of the Water Pillar Urokodaki, the place where disciples were trained in Water Breathing.

If Tanjiro hadn't killed the demon that killed them during the Demon Slayer Corps selection ceremony to eliminate their obsession...

Perhaps they will only appear in a revolving lantern to help him when Giyu Tomioka is about to die?

If the guess is correct, then for Kanae Kocho, the most memorable place would naturally be the Butterfly House where she lived with her younger sister Shinobu Kocho.

Since Su Yan doesn't intend to join the Demon Slayer Corps and deal with them, he wants to go to the former Water Pillar Urokodaki's residence and the Butterfly Mansion.

Therefore, using the deceased Kanae Hanahashi as a starting point is undoubtedly a good choice.

After all, the dead can't speak, can they?

When I can finally speak, that will probably be when I've achieved my goal.

Of course, there is more than one way to achieve your goal.

The reason he chose to do such a thing was mostly due to a little bit of mischievous fun he had for Shinobu Kocho, the cunning girl in the anime.

He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression the other person would make when the lie was exposed.

"...

—

Shinobu Kocho remained silent.

Looking up at Su Yan, who seemed somewhat disappointed, she began to believe the identity the other party had fabricated.

"Kanae-neechan and Su Yan-ge are so pitiful, they can't be together in the end."

After hearing Su Yan's story, Ni Douzi hugged Su Yan's arm, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Su Yan smiled, reached out and patted Nezuko's head, then said to Shinobu Kocho, "If it's alright, how about I take care of you from now on, Shinobu?"

Upon hearing the name Shinobu, Shinobu Kocho instantly snapped out of her daze.

She glanced at Nidouzi, who was clinging to Su Yan's arm and shedding small pearls, and then at Tokushima Yako, who stood silently to the side and had a great figure and appearance.

Finally, their gaze fell upon Su Yan, who was treating them with gentleness.

Ultimately, a conclusion was reached.

This guy is absolutely a scumbag!

She would never acknowledge a brother-in-law like that!!
