Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 711 Another one

As Ichigo and the others entered Orihime's house, a black tornado silently formed in the city and moved straight toward Orihime's house.

Orihime sat at the table with an innocent expression: "What's going on? Why is everyone so serious?"

Ichigo and the others stared at the clock, where only half a minute remained until eight o'clock.

Upon hearing Orihime's words, Ichigo turned around, about to say something, when Renji suddenly shouted.

Something's coming!

He suddenly stood up and carefully began to perceive.

"what?"

Everyone stood up in unison. Before the slow-witted Ichigo could even sense anything amiss, the strangeness in the room became apparent.

The apartment began to shake slightly, causing the table and the water glass on it to vibrate as well.

"What is this? An earthquake?"

Wow~

The sweeping tornado rattled the windows and made a mess of the house.

"I can't open the door either..." Renji tugged at the doorknob and turned around.

"Inoue! Don't stand by the window..." Ichigo meant to warn her, but he saw Orihime's eyes glowing red as she grabbed Chad by the neck.

"Uh...uh..."

Chad's face turned a deep purplish-red. He gripped Inoue Orihime's slender wrists tightly with both hands, trying to pry them open, but her arms remained as firm as vibrators.

Orihime doesn't actually have that much power.

"Inoue?! What are you doing?!" Ichigo was shocked and was about to rush forward when he saw Inoue Orihime suddenly raise her head.

That innocent-looking face now exuded an eerie stillness, its eyes flashing red light, and its lips stretched into an exaggerated grin.

"Hehehe... caught one~"

As her voice faded to the end, Inoue's face slowly transformed into that of a middle-aged man.

"Wh...who are you?! Where is Inoue?"

Because the Tibetan was holding Chadu by the reins, no one dared to approach for a moment.

"She's really naive," the Tibetan said calmly, holding Chadu in one arm. "Zhiba, it's your turn to make your appearance."

"Varied……"

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared in the room, and a figure fell from it.

The Tibetan smiled and said, "Let's go."

Zhiba nodded slightly.

"Don't even think about it..." Ichigo unsheathed his Zanpakuto, and Renji followed suit, drawing his own Zanpakuto from his waist.

Suddenly, however, the two of them, along with Chad, vanished from the spot.

It's like spatial movement.

Considering the way that guy named Zhiba made his appearance, it's clear that this is his ability.

"Chadu!"

Without a second thought, the group rushed to the window, where the crimson door rose again in the sky.

The door opened, and Chad's figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, flying inside.

"Chadu!"

Ichigo shouted and flew toward the door with his Zanpakuto in hand.

But just as he was about to touch Chad's figure, the door swallowed Chad and then closed again.

Ichigo reluctantly landed on the roof of the apartment building.

"Hee hee hee……"

Suddenly, a cheerful laugh belonging to a little girl rang out around them. This sound immediately made Ichigo realize that the person on the other end of the phone was the one who had been playing tricks on them.

"You bastard...where are you?"

Ichigo looked around.

"Here~"

Ichigo looked in the direction the sound came from, and there, without anyone noticing, a little girl with short blonde hair was sitting on the scarlet door with a smile on her face.

On either side were Zhiba and the Tibetans who had just taken Chadu away.

Lillian sat on the door and greeted everyone with a smile, "Good evening."

Ichigo frowned and questioned, "Was that you who called?"

"Yes, I'm Lilyn, nice to meet you."

"Why do you do this?"

"Hehe," Lillian chuckled, "It's just a game, a game."

"What a joke..." Ichigo gripped his Zanpakuto tightly.

At that moment, Renji jumped from the window below onto the roof, gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto, and stared at the three of them.

"It's hard to fight a kid." Renji drew his Zanpakuto. "You go left, I'll go right."

"Yes, I'll leave the rest to you, Ishida!"

The two barely discussed anything; Ichigo shouted and then charged forward with Renji.

Ishida stood by the window, looking at the two of them with a sullen expression, showing no intention of moving. He leaned against the window and looked around.

Speaking of which, the people behind the scenes have already shown up, but where is the teacher?

Chad has been taken away by the other party, and there has been no further news.

While Ishida was searching for Ikuko, Renji and Ichigo rushed to the door, unleashed their Zanpakuto, and slashed at Ziba and Kurama from the left and right respectively.

But before the Zanpakuto could strike them, the three figures suddenly vanished.

It's that kind of sudden disappearance tactic again!

"hateful!"

The two landed on the rooftop, surrounded by Lillian's cheerful laughter, which grew softer and softer.

They have obviously left.

"Damn it... Chad was taken away too." Ichigo gritted his teeth, then suddenly remembered, "Where's Ishida?"

Didn't we just agree to go together?

Where is that guy?

……

Could it be that he was also...?

Ichigo quickly jumped out of the window and saw that he was still standing by the window looking around.

"Hey, you, didn't you say... what are you doing?"

Ishida frowned, pushed up his glasses, and said, "The teacher didn't make a move."

"Or rather, did she actually come?"

Only after he said that did Ichigo and Renji realize what he meant.

"Yes! Didn't Auntie say she was going to be there? How could she just watch Chadu be taken away?"

Given Yuko's speed, that guy who can also teleport might not be able to escape.

Compared to an unknown guy, Ikuko, who was fighting fiercely with the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, was naturally superior.

Not to mention Renji, even Ichigo and Ishida thought the same way.

"Has something happened to Auntie?" Ichigo quickly looked at Ishida.

"I don't have her phone number."

Ichigo and Ishida both looked at Renji again.

Renji's eyelids twitched: "Why are you looking at me? Didn't I already say that last time?"

Ichigo suggested, "Shall we go to her house?"

"No, I refuse." Renji waved his hand directly. "I was almost scolded to death last time. If I go there again this time, I might be kicked the bucket."

Those two guys do have connections with that woman, but in the end, it'll be him who dies.

Ichigo hesitated slightly: "But..."

Ishida Uryu interrupted, "Don't worry, Ms. Yuko was probably just held up by something. With her abilities, she should be fine."

"……I see."

"Let's go back to Urahara Store and discuss it with the manager and the others," Renji suggested. "This matter is unusual; we don't even have the means to touch the other side."

Now that Chad and Inoue have been kidnapped and Ikuko hasn't shown up, they can't sleep at night.

Uryū Ishida analyzed, "Their goal is clearly to defeat us one by one."

His gaze fell on Ichigo: "Kurosaki, take your body with you. It's no longer safe to leave that thing at home."

"What do you mean by 'that thing'?"

Ichigo looked annoyed, but still agreed to Ishida's suggestion.

He brought his body home with him, and also took his soul with him.

The three of them, along with a doll, carrying Ichigo's body, rushed to Urahara Store under the cover of night.

……

At Urahara Store.

"You mean Auntie went to investigate the clues?" Ichigo stared at Kisuke Urahara with a suspicious look, his brows furrowed. "Really? Didn't she say she was going to work with us?"

“Oh dear, Mr. Kurosaki, you have to trust Yuko’s professional skills.” Kisuke Urahara covered the lower half of his face with his folding fan, revealing only a pair of slightly gleaming eyes. “Yuko said that since the other party dares to blatantly provoke us and even has the means to shield their senses, they must be hiding something very well.”

"Instead of letting everyone be fooled by them, it's better to split up into two groups."

Ishida Uryu frowned: "You mean, there are more than just those three people on the other side?"

“That should be correct.” Kisuke Urahara nodded slightly. “Since Ikuko didn’t show up, it means she was held up by something else.”

His voice lowered, "Or... Yuko was killed first."

Everyone frowned.

Renji barely considered it before saying, "The possibility is almost zero."

Others might have some misunderstandings about that woman's strength, but he was different. As a Shinigami with a proper background, he knew the strength of Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

How could a monster capable of defeating the Captain-Commander possibly be defeated by such an unknown brat?

Ishida Uryu pushed up his glasses, a cold glint in the lenses. "Rather than saying she might have been killed, it's more reasonable to say she's just lazing around at home sleeping."

Kisuke Urahara's hand holding the fan stiffened for a moment. Did this guy already guess it, or was he just making a casual remark?

How could it be so accurate?

Kisuke Urahara pointed at Ichigo's body and changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, what's this for?"

"Chad has also been taken away. Their goal is clearly to defeat us one by one."

Kisuke Urahara nodded slightly: "I see. We'll take care of your body then."

He turned to Tetsuzai and gestured, and the other man picked up Ichigo's body and left the room.

"But who exactly are those guys?" Renji asked Urahara Kisuke, sitting cross-legged on the ground. "Still no clue at all?"

Kisuke Urahara shook his head: "I really don't know. The other person's voice has no voiceprints or spirit patterns, and it doesn't sound human."

"This shows that they are neither human nor death."

Ishida said calmly, "Indeed, the spiritual pressure of those three is a bit strange."

Ichigo turned his head in surprise: "Eh? You can feel it?"

Ishida pushed up his glasses without changing his expression: "To someone as oblivious as you, it probably makes no difference."

Ichigo: "..."

“If the opponent’s ability is similar to Kido,” Kisuke Urahara said, waving his fan, “it would be difficult to defeat them by relying solely on direct attacks from Zanpakuto.”

"In that case, using Zangetsu's Getsuga Tenshou should be able to cause damage, right?"

Ichigo understands this all too well; that ability to teleport is simply impossible to grasp.

“Theoretically, that’s true,” Kisuke Urahara said calmly, “but can you control the power of that attack?”

Renji chimed in, "If we use that kind of power to attack, it will probably affect the surrounding area."

Ichigo looked at him with displeasure: "And what about you? After your Zabimaru Bankai, you should be able to use Kido attacks, right?"

"My Zabimaru is also difficult to control, and the abilities of us captains are limited in the human world."

“If that’s the case…” Ichigo looked at Ishida speechlessly, “Ishida, you’re the only one I can rely on!”

"Take care of them with your bow and arrows."

Ishida turned his head away and pushed up his glasses: "What the heck is 'whoosh'..."

Ichigo opened his mouth to speak when the phone in the store suddenly rang.

Everyone's eyes narrowed, and after taking the phone, Kisuke Urahara immediately handed it to Ichigo.

"Looking for you."

Ichigo answered the phone and asked without hesitation, "What did you do to the others?"

"Hehe, don't be so angry." A cheerful girl's voice came from the other end of the line. "Next up is the Karakura Town Museum, hurry up~"

"Hey! Chad and..."

The other side hung up the phone.

The voice on the phone was quite loud, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Ichigo's expression was grave: "They didn't give us a chance to rest at all."

Ishida muttered to himself, "It could also be to avoid Professor Yuko."

Renji clicked his tongue: "No matter what, we still have no choice but to make the trip."

"What about me? What about me?"

The soul bounced around on the side.

Ichigo glanced at him and nodded slightly: "You can come along too."

At this time, having another helper would be helpful.

"Ho~ You finally realize how powerful I am, kid?" Hearing this, Hun immediately became smug. "Don't worry, with me here, rescuing that big-breasted girl will be a piece of cake."

"..."

Everyone ignored his statement, and Ichigo said, "The other person seems to have that strange spatial movement ability, just like Auntie."

“I have a good idea.” Ishida looked down at the soul bouncing at his feet and pushed up his glasses.

……

After a while.

Ichigo stood up and said to Kisuke Urahara, "If you can contact Auntie, have her come to the museum to find us."

"Well, I see."

Kisuke Urahara nodded slightly, watched them leave, and whispered in a voice only he could hear.

"That's no need."

……

On the way, Soul, with a dark face, was carried on Ishida Uryu's back and couldn't help but flail his limbs.

"So why did I have to be turned into a backpack?!"

"Didn't I already say that?" Ichigo said impatiently, "The enemy will suddenly appear from all sorts of places, and with you here, you can help protect our backs."

"W-what is it?" Hun paused for a moment, then said proudly, "So you need me, huh?"

His pride lasted less than a second before he became agitated again: "But why is it you who's been carrying me on your back?"

"Why not Inoue's soft back?"

"..."

A guy whose meaning is unclear.

Ishida retorted, "If I had known I would be the one carrying you, I wouldn't have modified you."

Ichigo said speechlessly, "What can we do? Renji and I are both Shinigami. What would ordinary people think if they saw us...?"

His voice suddenly stopped.
