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

Chapter 644 Let's Become a Teacher

Yoruichi didn't care about any of that. She pointed her claws at Jinta, who was trembling slightly to the side, and continued in a deep, middle-aged voice: "Haven't you trained this kid quite well?"

Jin Tai blushed and dared not say more, because when Yu Zi got angry, she would really beat people up, and no one else dared to argue with her.

It's impossible to expect that idiot shopkeeper and Mr. Tessai to save us.

As for Yoruichi?

What a joke! It's already a blessing that she didn't kick me when I'm down.

Yu Zi's lips twitched slightly: "So, what kind of dangerous words are those?"

"Why is it dangerous?"

Yoruichi turned her cat face around, her golden eyes looking innocently at Yuuko.

“…Never mind.” Yuko sighed, then couldn’t help but consider Yoruichi’s words again, “Teacher?”

"It doesn't seem like a bad idea."

Yu Zi stroked her chin, clearly somewhat tempted: "So, do you think I should apply for a high school teacher position or a university teacher position?"

Yoruichi's eyes widened slightly: "No way?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yu Zi looked at her with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with her sudden outburst.

"You've actually picked one?" Yoruichi blinked, her face contorted with a comical expression despite being just a cat. "High school teacher, university teacher?"

"Huh?" Yu Zi was even more confused, and said speechlessly, "Why do I feel like your tone is a little unfriendly?"

Yoruichi sneered: "Remove the feeling, and I'm just unfriendly."

"What else can you do besides being a kindergarten teacher and figuring out how to change diapers for little kids?"

"You actually want to be a high school teacher? Or a university teacher?"

Yoruichi stretched lazily, then hopped into Yuuko's arms with a cat-like gait. She flicked her tail across Yuuko's face, then nestled into her lap with a disdainful expression, continuing her mocking tone:

"Idiot, do you think a high school teacher has enough knowledge in their head?"

"..."

Yu Zi's face darkened, and she almost couldn't help but throw the idiot out with trembling hands.

How dare this guy lie so arrogantly in her arms and talk bad about her?

Yu Zi, her face dark with anger, defended herself, saying, "If I want to, I can learn it very quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes~" Yoruichi rolled around in her arms perfunctorily, "My Yuko learns things very quickly."

Yu Zi squinted, "Who's your home...?"

"It's amazing how fast they've learned Bankai in just over a hundred years!"

Yuko slipped her arms under Yoruichi's armpits and picked her up, saying expressionlessly, "Do you believe I'll throw you in the trash right now?"

Yoruichi stretched out her head and licked her paws, completely ignoring Ikuko.

Yuko was furious. How could this guy be so mean, taking advantage of her friendliness?

Yu Zi snorted coldly and threw her down in a bad mood. When she reached the bottom, she subconsciously pulled her down a little to prevent her from actually falling.

She is so kind.

Yoruichi yawned, then slowly jumped back into Yuuko's arms, nestled in her embrace, closed her eyes, and soon began to purr.

Ikuko: "..."

……

After ending her conversation with Yoruichi, Yuuko did indeed begin to seriously consider her future lifestyle, just as Yoruichi had suggested.

Actually, living with Yoruichi and the others was quite enjoyable, but Yuuko still wanted to find something to do.

She wasn't very interested in opening a shop or anything like that.

Moreover, although it's called a shop, there's not much business. The shop is mostly looked after by Wokami Tessai, and the others are incredibly idle.

Urahara spends all his time holed up, probably messing around with some kind of experiment.

Although Yoruichi had thoroughly humiliated her, becoming a teacher was a trivial matter for Yuuko.

She already had good learning abilities, not to mention her memory has evolved now.

Leaving aside subjects like mathematics that require a high level of intelligence, aren't Chinese literature and history simple?

This world is not much different from her previous world. She is an ancient person who has lived from the Warring States period to the present world. Is there anyone who knows more about Chinese literature and history than her?

……

Yoruichi hopped down from the rooftop with her cat-like steps, walked along the narrow edge of the outer wall to the window of Yuuko's house, stretched out her paws and pushed open the window that was completely disproportionate to her size, and immediately saw Yuuko sitting on the bed, wearing pajamas, and engrossed in reading a book.

It was evening, and Yuko had just finished washing up. Her long, bright red hair was still a little damp from being dried by the hairdryer.

"Oh~ you're already starting to work hard?" Yoruichi joked, leisurely jumping into the room through the window.

"Well, the exam is coming up soon, and I want to learn as much about the subject matter as possible," Yu Zi replied without looking up.

Yuko knew Yoruichi had arrived when the window was opened.

No, I should say that at this time, besides Yoruichi, there shouldn't be anyone else who would come looking for her.

"Hey~"

Yoruichi leaped onto Yuuko's blanket with a powerful kick, then twirled around a corner to Yuuko's chest, gazing at the book.

"This is elementary school Chinese, isn't it?" Yoruichi turned around and asked, "So you really did choose to become an elementary school teacher because you're not smart enough?"

Yu Zi's eye twitched, and she retorted, "That's not true!"

"It's because when I talked to Masaki about this before, she mentioned that Ichigo is about to start elementary school, and she would feel at ease if I could be Ichigo's teacher."

"Wow~ You and Masaki Kurosaki are really close~" Yoruichi said in an exaggerated tone.

Yuko casually replied, "It's alright. After all, a kind girl like Masaki would be loved no matter where she is."

Yoruichi pondered for a moment: "That's true. As a Quincy, how could she be so infatuated with the captain of the 10th Division?"

Yuko couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's because she just happened to run into an idiot."

"It's just a sincere person meeting another sincere person."

"It's just a natural thing that things have turned out this way."

Yoruichi's lips curled slightly: "You seem to have a pretty good opinion of them."

“Of course, I’ve never felt anything about the conflict between you Shinigami and Quincy.” Yuko said without changing her expression. “Comparatively, I prefer to see people living together peacefully.”

"...Then you're quite kind."

Although Yoruichi was joking, she did not doubt Ikuko's sincerity.

Yama glanced at his book, then asked idly, "When is the exam?"

"tomorrow."

Yoruichi's lips twitched slightly: "Tomorrow? Are you cramming at the last minute?"

"No, it's just to kill some time," Yu Zi replied calmly. "Elementary school level knowledge isn't enough to make me nervous."

"Oh, so you managed to put on a show."

Yoruichi made a joke, and then her eyes unconsciously caught sight of something that looked like a gift box placed on the bedside table.

Yoruichi's cat instincts were piqued, and she curiously jumped over, pointed at the gift box, and turned back to ask, "What's this?"

Yuko glanced sideways.

"Ah, you said that."

"Those are glasses."

"Glasses?" Yoruichi blinked, then, without waiting for Yuko's agreement, she reached out and opened the gift box, revealing a small glasses case inside.

She opened the glasses case directly, inside was a pair of elegant women's black-rimmed glasses.

Yoruichi grabbed her glasses and adjusted them to her face, but because of her round cat-like face, it was difficult to hold them up.

Why did you buy this?

Yuko put down her book, rested her index finger on her chin, and pondered, "Most of the time, when people think of teachers, their first reaction is probably that they wear glasses, right?"

"Huh? Whose first reaction was that?" Yoruichi pressed her glasses against her head, trying to keep them from falling off.

"That was my first reaction."

Yoruichi, wearing her glasses, returned to the bed. Because she was holding the glasses with both hands, her feet were a little unsteady, and she swayed back and forth on the bed as if she were drunk.

Yuko couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and snatched the glasses from her head, then put them on her own face.

After adjusting for a moment, Yuuko looked down at Yoruichi: "How was it? Did you look like a teacher?"

Yoruichi broke out in a cold sweat: "What does that feel like?"

But putting everything else aside... it does look quite pretty.

Unlike her usual beauty, this look carries a touch of intellectual charm...

Of course, you absolutely can't say that out loud, or this guy will get arrogant.

“You really don’t understand,” Yu Zi sighed. “This is what a teacher is all about.”

Yoruichi couldn't help but retort, "Are the teacher's eyes the only thing that matters?"

"Well, that's pretty much the gist of it." Yuko shrugged.

"Fine, keep trying." Yoruichi rolled her eyes, realizing she couldn't keep up with Yuuko's train of thought, so she simply lay down on the spot, curled up on Yuuko's blanket, closed her eyes, and started snoring.

Seeing this, Yuko hesitated, then said, "You really are..."

Yoruichi kept her eyes closed and remained motionless: "Really what?"

“…No, it’s nothing.” Yuko paused for a moment, “It’s just that I feel you’ve completely taken on the shape of a cat now.”

Aside from when she was training in the underground space, Yuuko rarely saw Yoruichi transform back into a human.

When Yoruichi was in the Soul Society's Seireitei, she had official duties to attend to, and her subordinates would come to her house to report to her, so Yoruichi basically only turned into a black cat when she was resting.

Now that she's in the real world, it's like her true nature has been unleashed. Yuuko has even begun to suspect that this is Yoruichi's true form.

Yoruichi opened one eye: "You're not expecting me to turn back into human form, are you?"

"A beautiful, naked girl is lying on your bed."

"Yuko~ You're so... "

Yu Zi almost lost her composure, grabbed the book, and slammed it down with a powerful brick, sending Ye Yi tumbling to the ground.

What's going on in this guy's head?

Just thinking about Yoruichi's personality made Yuuko feel a little helpless.

Ignoring Yoruichi's teasing, Yuuko calmed down and prepared for tomorrow's exam. The only sound in the room was the turning of pages.

After a moment of silence, Yoruichi said coldly, "You seem to care a lot about Masaki's child."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Yuko could tell from the frequency of her snoring that she wasn't asleep yet, and said without looking up, "That child is indeed a bit special."

"Special?" Yoruichi opened her eyes and raised her head slightly. "This is the first time I've heard you give such an evaluation."

"For a five-year-old child."

"Is it because that child has a particularly strong spiritual power?"

Before Ikuko could answer, Yoruichi continued talking to herself:

"My father is a Grim Reaper and my mother is a Quincy. Although they are still young, it's normal for them to have that level of spiritual power, right?"

Although it wasn't revealed, the child did indeed possess the ability to see souls.

But that's normal. With a father who is a captain-level Shinigami and a mother who is a pure-blooded Quincy, it's only natural that they would have such talent.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Kurosaki Isshin would prefer that he live as an ordinary person.

But... can everything really go as planned?

"Or are you concerned about the emptiness within him?" Yoruichi sat up completely, staring intently at Ikuko.

"After all, I don't understand why you rejected him back then."

Since Masaki, as a mother, was infected with a Hollow's soul, it is natural that this fused soul would be passed on to her offspring.

Kurosaki Isshin kept this from Masaki, but after consulting with Urahara Kisuke, he confirmed that it would not affect the child.

As long as Isshin Kurosaki remains, the connected Gikai can use his Shinigami powers to suppress the Hollows' powers.

As for Yoruichi's refusal, it refers to the fact that Kurosaki Isshin had considered using Ikuko's Bankai ability to completely remove the Hollow from Ichigo's body.

After all, unlike Masaki, Ichigo's problems don't need so many reasons.

However, Yuko rejected him in front of everyone without even giving a reasonable reason.

Yuko lowered her eyelids slightly: "So it's just that I'm slightly concerned about the child's special circumstances."

"is it?"

Yoruichi lay back down, not intending to ask any further questions, but in her heart she was already thinking to herself.

As expected, Ikuko had probably already guessed Kisuke's thoughts.

Ichigo Kurosaki's existence is both accidental and deliberate.

Possessing the powers of a Shinigami, a Quincy, and a Hollow, not only Kisuke but also Ikuko are watching closely to see what kind of towering tree this seed will grow into.

Even the culprit behind all this, Aizen Sousuke, is keeping an eye on it.

In fact, even if Ikuko had agreed to Kurosaki Isshin's request, Urahara Kisuke would have used various inappropriate excuses to prevent Ikuko from removing the Hollow from Kurosaki Ichigo's body.

She asked Kisuke, who said it was to prepare for the future fight against Aizen, but he might have the same idea as Aizen.

A realm that transcends the limits of death.

Regardless of their motivations or the process, the ultimate goal was to explore this very thing.

This is evidenced by the fact that the two of them coincidentally created the Hogyoku.

Compared to Aizen, Kisuke wouldn't go so far as to conduct inhumane experiments on the souls of Shinigami and Rukongai.

But it wasn't exactly glorious or anything like that. Yoruichi knew about Kisuke's private research, so she never brought it up with Ikuko.

Yuko is different from them.

Even with painful experiences, the heart remains bright.

Even now, there are some things Yoruichi doesn't want Ikuko to know.
