Demon Slayer: My breathing technique went awry after Nezuko pushed me down.

He glanced at the densely packed pink figures around him.

[He can not only create his own breathing techniques, but also such unique moves.]

[A person like this deserves to be a pillar.]

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little lost.

It's a pity he practiced Color Breathing, not Water Breathing.

But soon, he remembered something else.

But it's okay...

His gaze fell on Tanjiro, who was watching the battle intently from a distance.

[Shirakawa Yu didn't learn Water Breathing, but Tanjiro did. He has good talent; in a few years... he should be able to take over my position.]

Yoshiyuki Tomioka thought about it seriously.

"Then, I can be a regular team member."

Find a secluded place to live, and simply follow orders to kill demons.

【fine.】

Just then, a pink figure swept past him from behind and kicked him in the lower back.

Hey! What are you thinking about!

Tomioka Yoshiyuki snapped back to his senses and swung his sword!

But the figure had already vanished, leaving behind only a string of irritating laughter.

Shirakawa Yu is very happy now.

very happy.

I was being relentlessly attacked by Giyuu for a long time, and could only defend passively. I felt incredibly frustrated.

Now I can finally vent.

His figure weaved through the pink mist, sometimes appearing from the left to slash, sometimes from the right to kick, sometimes leaping down from above to smash—

Anyway, it's the back of the knife.

Their main tactic is harassment.

It's simply disgusting.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka's face grew increasingly dark. Although his expression remained unchanged, the surrounding air noticeably cooled down by several degrees.

Shirakawa Yu was even happier about this.

However, his goal is not just to be brave and righteous.

There is one more person.

His gaze fell on Shinobu Kocho, who was watching the battle from a distance.

"Hehe~"

Shirakawa Yu chuckled mischievously, then vanished into the mist in a flash.

Chapter 74 The real purpose of finding Ubuyashiki!

Shinobu Kocho was watching with great interest, considering whether she should step in to help and take down Giyu as soon as possible.

But to be honest, she was still a little reluctant to part with it.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a fighting style.

It's not simply about speed or power, but a combination of reality and illusion, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

It's somewhat similar to Muichiro's Breath of Mist, but even better.

After all, he also has a phantom image to help with feint attacks, which is extremely deadly when facing enemies.

"Interesting..." she murmured softly, "How exactly does one learn this breathing technique?"

Looking at it more often can also help with your insect respiration.

I was just thinking about how to secretly learn from them...

"Snapped!"

A large hand slapped her hard on the left buttock.

"ah--!!!"

Shinobu Kocho froze.

The touch was warm and firm.

Her face flushed red instantly.

Her cheeks turned red all the way down to her ears and neck.

Meanwhile, the culprit, Shirakawa Yu, cheekily raised his hand and ran past her, laughing.

"Sorry, sorry~ I bumped into you by accident!"

Butterfly covered the area where she had been slapped, took a deep breath, and tried her best to maintain her smile.

No, I need to calm down.

She is a Pillar, the Insect Pillar, the elegant Shinobu Kocho.

I mustn't lose my composure, I mustn't...

"Snapped!"

Another one.

This time it's the right side.

The pressure was a little light, but... it felt even more tingling.

Shinobu's elegance crumbled instantly.

"you!!!"

She turned around abruptly, the knife in her hand pointing directly at the pink figure that had passed by behind her.

Shirakawa Yu stopped in front of her, raised his hands, and had an innocent smile on his face.

"Sorry, sorry~ I'm not very familiar with this new move yet, and I can't control the direction very well~"

Butterfly gritted her teeth, her smile unchanged, but the veins on her forehead were clearly visible.

"Not familiar with it?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Can't control the direction?"

"Yep!"

"Then please tell me, Kawabata-kun," Shinobu Kocho forced a smile, enunciating each word clearly, "why are you always able to 'slap' my butt with such precision?"

Shirakawa Yu blinked, pretending to be deep in thought.

Then......

slipped away!

Shinobu's smile froze completely.

She's not stupid. If it was an accident once, would it be the same twice?

She naturally knew that Shirakawa Yu was doing it on purpose.

It's all about revenge!

It seems... I'll need to remind Kanao in the future that this man is petty.

the third time.

He floated past Shinobu Kocho once again, his hand outstretched once more.

This time, his target was still that soft spot that was gradually becoming familiar.

However, just as his palm was about to touch it...

Shinobu Kocho's slender hand suddenly reached out and precisely gripped his wrist.

Then she smiled.

She smiled very gently.

"Kawaba-kun~"

"Ok?"

Do you want to die?

Shirakawa Yu awkwardly freed his wrists—and chuckled.

"I'm not coming~ I'm not coming~"

He took two steps back to maintain a safe distance from Shinobu Kocho.

Then, he turned around and rushed towards Giyu Tomioka with satisfaction.

Shinobu Kocho stood still, looking at the numerous figures jumping around her, and sighed helplessly.

This man...

She rubbed the still slightly numb area, the blush on her face not completely fading.

She sighed when she thought of Kanao.

That girl... is so silly.

This man... is so unpredictable.

In the future, he'll definitely bully Kanao to death...
