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

Chapter 699 Are you drunk?

Ukitake took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The execution of Rukia has been officially rescinded. Although this is hindsight, I still want to thank everyone for their help."

"No, it's not just about Rukia. If it weren't for your timely intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

As he spoke, he actually lowered his head, placed his hands on the ground, and solemnly bowed.

"Hey, hey, don't do this." Ichigo couldn't stand this serious scene and waved his hands frantically. "We just wanted to save Rukia, we didn't think that much about it."

"If you want to thank someone, thank Auntie."

Yuko's eyelid twitched. Did you really think she liked this kind of scene?

However, since they have already taken such action, we should indeed respond.

She rested her elbow on the table, propped her cheek on her hand, turned her head, and said calmly, "Fuzhu, when did you level up?"

"upgrade?"

"No? I thought you became the captain." Yu Zi's voice didn't reveal much emotion. "After all, when it comes to sincerity in this kind of thing, it's more normal for the leader to come first, right?"

"Ah, of course, I didn't mean to look down on you."

"Hmm? Or is it that you actually look down on us?"

You don't need to add those last two sentences!

Everyone was sweating profusely.

Kyoraku Shunsui broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Captain-Commander Yamamoto is still recovering. I think after this incident, he will definitely..."

Yuko interrupted him: "It's all over, Soul Society. Despite this whole mess, the highest leader hasn't said a word."

"Ah, no, that's not right either. The so-called captain of the Gotei 13 is just a security captain at best, right?"

"After all, judging from his appearance, no, judging from his way of doing things, he really doesn't seem to be a smart person."

Your mouth...you have such a sharp tongue!

Not to mention Kyoraku Shunsui, who was being rebuked, even the people standing nearby felt suffocated.

Yoruichi sighed and groaned beside her. Ikuko's impression of Soul Society and Seireitei was absolutely terrible.

She felt too embarrassed to offer any advice.

"The security captain..." Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head with a wry smile, downing the drink in his cup in one gulp: "Old man Yama may be stubborn, but he carries the heavy burden of maintaining order and peace in Soul Society..."

Yu Zi had no intention of listening and raised her hand to interrupt: "Alright, alright, I don't have time to listen to your description of how difficult things are for him, nor do I really intend to make him apologize."

"Do whatever you want. If this is all you're here to say, you can leave now, or you can stay and have some leftovers."

There was dead silence.

Ichigo swallowed hard. Although he felt that his aunt was really enjoying her rebuke, the other side were two captains, so was it really okay to be so disrespectful?

"What I'm trying to say is that at this critical juncture, Soul Society desperately needs fighting power." Kyoraku Shunsui gave a wry smile. "If Miss Yuuko is willing..."

"No need to discuss."

Yuko refused decisively, without even letting Kyoraku Shunsui finish speaking.

“I have no interest in being the Grim Reaper.” Yuko slammed her empty glass down on the table, making a crisp sound. “Besides, you’ve got one thing wrong.”

“I’m not interested in what kind of king or god Aizen wants to be, or what kind of throne he wants to occupy.” Yuko suddenly stood up and stared coldly at the two of them. “To me, what you Gotei 13 are doing is not much different from what Aizen is doing in essence.”

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his straw hat, obscuring his expression, but the smile on his lips had completely vanished.

“Miss Yuko, that’s a bit too much,” Ukitake said softly. “Everything we do is to protect the order and peace of Soul Society. There may have been mistakes in the process, but our starting point was never for personal gain.”

"Whether it's personal desire or public interest, I'm not interested. You're all just asking for death." Yuko picked up the Zanpakuto at her feet, sheathed it at her waist, and walked out of the hall without saying goodbye.

What the hell is this public interest! What the hell is this self-destructive behavior!

That's called finding another way out!

Are you drunk?!

Yoruichi suppressed the urge to retort, but then again, was this guy really drunk?

Yoruichi thought about it carefully. Although Yuuko usually disliked the Gotei 13 to some extent, this was the first time she had been so direct and unreserved.

……

not good!

Yoruichi quickly stood up: "Excuse me, Soi Fon, please look after the two captains for me."

"Yes, Lord Yoruichi."

Soi Fon recovered from her shock.

So... does Yuko-nee hate Seireitei that much?

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

This is really...someone who has nothing better to do than come here and get scolded.

Yoruichi chased after her and caught up with Ikuko in the corridor.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Yuko suddenly stopped and stood there in the middle of the corridor without saying a word.

Just as Yoruichi caught up with Ikuko and couldn't help but look at her, he heard Ikuko's voice in his ear.

"Yoruichi..."

"Ok?"

"Help me up..."

Before Yu Zi could finish speaking, she collapsed to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yoruichi was startled and quickly helped her up, thinking that some injury had not healed, and looked her up and down.

"call……"

Yuko's steady breathing reached Yoruichi's ears.

"..."

So, this idiot is really drunk?

What a joke.

Yoruichi, feeling utterly overwhelmed, supported her. This idiot was so drunk she was like a lump of mud, completely immobile. She had no choice but to bend down, slip one hand under Yuko's legs, and the other arm around her back, lifting her up horizontally in her arms.

It has to be said that this is a challenge for Yoruichi.

It's not that Yuko weighs much more, but rather that the two are in completely different height and build.

Yoruichi, with her short, flat frame of 1.6 meters, was holding Ikuko, who was 1.7 meters tall; it just looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"Hey! Put me down! Don't I have any dignity?" Yuko struggled weakly in Yoruichi's arms, but her strength was feeble and posed no threat.

Didn't you say you'd help me up?

Yoruichi gritted her teeth, barely suppressing the urge to slap her, and escorted Yuko back to her room.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the Shihōin family mansion, Ikuko opened her eyes, her splitting headache, like that of a hangover, causing her to groan involuntarily.

"you're awake?"

A deep male voice sounded in front of her, and as Yoruichi stood up from the bed, Ikuko finally saw her.

She pinched the bridge of her nose and said with a pained expression, "The hangover is really awful. I should have drunk less."

"You only had two drinks?!" Yoruichi couldn't hold back anymore and let out a frantic voice.

And that cup was so small! It didn't even weigh two ounces!

Anyone who didn't know better would think you drank two kilograms of liquor and knocked out a whole bunch of people!

That's too weak! That's way too weak!

That's absolutely awful!

Even those minors wouldn't be knocked out after just two drinks!

If she hadn't drunk it too, she would have really suspected that Kyoraku had deliberately put something in the drink.

Who knows if you're really bad at the game?

Yuko automatically ignored Yoruichi's slander, touched the horn on her head, sensed the recovery of her spiritual pressure, concealed the horn, and the markings on her face faded away.

Yoruichi glanced at it and commented casually, "Not bad, the feel is back."

Yu Zi understood what she meant and chuckled, "When I grow a third horn, I'll show you what's what."

"That's all you've got," Yoruichi rolled her eyes, speechless.

Yu Zi patted her cheeks to perk herself up: "By the way, what are you doing in my bed?"

Yoruichi clenched her fist, then let it fall back down.

"The old man convened a meeting of team leaders and invited us to participate."

“…” Upon hearing this, Yu Zi was stunned for two seconds, as memories began to resurface in her mind.

Just as Yoruichi was about to speak when she saw Yuko suddenly fall back down without saying a word, saying, "Speaking of which, my head still seems to hurt a little. Let me take a nap."

"Wait a minute!" The moment Yoruichi jumped off the bed, a cloud of white smoke filled the air, and she transformed back into human form, grabbing Yuuko's arm and dragging her out.

"Clothes! Clothes! You're not wearing any clothes!"

Yuko tried to force Yoruichi to let go using this method.

"Who cares!"

Seeing that this wasn't working, Yuko shouted again, "I'm not the Grim Reaper, why should I have to go to a meeting?!"

"At least the decision to overturn Rukia's verdict was made by the old man. Even if you hate him, you should at least give him some face, right?"

Yuko sat up, looking annoyed. "Huh? Isn't that what he should be doing?"

Yoru said with a serious expression, "Let's go listen to it anyway. I'm also a little concerned about Aizen's situation."

"He took one of your arms, don't you care at all?"

"Shouldn't the Soul Society be panicking? Aizen even invited me before, so what if I turn against them?"

Yuko suddenly hugged her head.

"The main problem is that I made things too serious last night. What if they team up to beat me up? My spiritual pressure hasn't recovered yet."

"...Are you an idiot?" This left Yoruichi speechless.

……

The morning sunlight streamed into the corridor, and this was the scene that greeted Ichigo and the others when they woke up and opened the door.

"I dont go."

Yuko gripped the door frame tightly, her fingers almost digging into the wood, as if there were some man-eating abyss behind her.

"I have a headache, I feel nauseous, and I get allergic reactions whenever I smell the rotten smell on that old man."

"You're so smooth, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?!" Yoruichi's forehead veins bulged as she grabbed Yuuko's belt with both hands, pulling her back like a radish. "Weren't you so tough when you were arguing with people last night? Now you're scared?"

"Is that called being afraid? That's called strategically avoiding embarrassment!" Yu Zi argued vehemently. "Besides, that old geezer is definitely still holding a grudge about how I beat him up before. If I go there now, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"

Yoruichi suddenly let go of her hand, and before Ikuko could ask any questions, she heard, "If you don't go in, I'll tell everyone about how you got drunk last night and hugged the pillar calling for your brother."

Actually, no, but Yoruichi had heard many of Ikuko's stories from her past, and she could tell them offhand.

"Brother? Which brother? Why should I call him brother?"

Yuko was taken aback at first. Just as Yoruichi thought she had found the wrong method, Yuko suddenly let go of the door frame, stood up straight, straightened her collar, and looked serious.

"Let's go. As a key figure in this incident, I also feel it's necessary to offer some constructive suggestions for the future of Soul Society."

She turned and left without hesitation.

Then... I saw the corridor filled with people.

Yuko's face immediately darkened.

……

"Huh? You're lying?"

"I knew it! Did I have nothing better to do than hug the pillar and call him brother?"

Outside the First Squad's barracks.

Yoruichi's expression remained unchanged: "Alright, I'll let you scold me to your heart's content when we get back. We're almost there, so you better behave yourself."

"Sigh." Yuko rubbed her forehead, giving up the idea of ​​fighting Yoruichi to the death.

The door slowly opened.

The captains' haori, who should have been neatly arranged in two rows, and the positions of the third, fifth, and ninth divisions were vacant, making the scene appear somewhat disorderly.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni remained firmly in power.

It seems that Ukitake failed and did not attend class.

What a waste, she can't even seize an opportunity. Now is when that old geezer is at his weakest, and she would have taken Yamamoto's position... No, wait, she's just a security captain... Suddenly I feel so lucky.

Yu Zi shook her head, raising an eyebrow: "You came so quickly?"

Yoruichi whispered, "Idiot, they're waiting for us."

Kenpachi Zaraki was covered in bandages, clearly having had another good time. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Yuuko enter, and a grin spread across his face.

"Hey, wanna fight me again later?"

Yuko sighed, "I really have no interest in fighting a defeated opponent. Let's talk about it when you can beat Ichigo."

"Okay, it's a deal."

This idiot wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was full of energy, which made Yu Zi wonder if her expectations were too low.

Let him take care of old man Yamamoto first.

"It seems everyone is still alive, that's wonderful." Yu Zi greeted lazily, completely lacking any sense of being a guest, and even tried to find a chair to sit down.

Unfortunately, everyone in the meeting room was standing.

"Yoruichi Shihōin, and... Ryūka, Ikuko."

At this moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly spoke, his tone heavy with seriousness.

Yuko pouted: "What do you mean? Yoruichi isn't considered a traveler's curse?"

"That's true, after all, you have a house in Soul Society."

Many of the team leaders twitched the corners of their mouths.

Yoruichi also slightly raised her eyes, about to roll them.

"Regarding Aizen Sousuke's betrayal," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni continued, ignoring Yuuko's complaints, "the Gotei 13 has suffered an unprecedented humiliation and crisis. The entire Central 46 has been killed, their orders have been altered, and I..."

He paused for a moment at this point.

"As the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13, I failed to see through their treacherous plot and even became a blade in their hands, almost causing a terrible mistake."

"Not only did they almost execute Rukia Kuchiki, who did not deserve to die, but they also nearly ignored the real crisis by blindly sticking to old ways."

Yu Zi raised an eyebrow, looking at the stubborn old man with some surprise.
