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

Chapter 633 Transformation into Divine Body

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Since Aizen began conducting Hollowfication experiments here several years ago, no more exaggerated anomalies have occurred in Karakura Town.

Ordinary Hollows are often quickly eliminated by the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town.

Life seemed to have returned to normal.

As the reputation of the Butterfly House grew, it became a well-known small clinic in Karakura Town. Even patients from some large hospitals would come here, and a TV station even wanted to interview them, but Ikuko refused.

In contrast, the Kurosaki Clinic next door was in a much worse state. However, thanks to Kurosaki Isshin's cheerful and enthusiastic personality and Masaki's gentle assistance, they had accumulated a number of loyal clients. While they might not make a fortune, at least the two of them were able to make a living.

The long lifespan she had since becoming a demon had blurred Yuuko's concept of time to an extreme degree, leaving her with almost no time to appreciate the changes around her, if not for the increasingly mature body of Kurosaki Masaki...

Yuko stared at Kurosaki Masaki in front of her and shook her head. What a strange analogy.

"Yuko, I've decided to marry Isshin!" Kurosaki Masaki said happily to Yuko, hugging Kurosaki Isshin's arm.

"Congratulations." Yu Zi smiled slightly.

From the very beginning, when the two met in the high-rise building that night, Yuko had a vague feeling about this.

Regardless of the Hollow thing, regardless of their identities as Shinigami and Quincy, these two people are truly in love.

Based on Yuko's relationship with Masaki over the years, if the two don't like each other, Yuko will find a way to solve Masaki's health problem.

It wasn't that she was particularly kind; she was just bored.

Masaki Kurosaki solemnly handed over an invitation: "This is an invitation. The venue is a nearby shrine. Please come!"

Yuko accepted the invitation with both hands, glancing at Kurosaki Isshin, who was scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly, and then at Masaki.

She smiled again: "Mr. Kurosaki, Masaki, congratulations."

“Thank you, Yuuko.” Masaki gently took Yuuko’s hand, then glanced at the ceiling with a strange look in her eyes. “But shouldn’t you be saying something like this at this moment…”

Yuko paused for a moment: "Speak?"

Masaki Kurosaki scratched her head: "It's that one, the one my best friend always talks about... ah, I can't quite remember."

Yuko suddenly realized and looked at Kurosaki Isshin seriously: "Mr. Kurosaki, if you dare to let Masaki suffer even the slightest grievance, I will not let you off the hook."

"Yes, yes! This is it!" Masaki Kurosaki happily hugged Ikuko. "As expected, Ikuko understands me best!"

……

This girl... has she gained weight again...?

Touched by the interaction between the two, Kurosaki Isshin nodded solemnly: "I swear on my dignity as a man that I will make Masaki happy!"

"That would be best." Yu Zi nodded slightly. "Otherwise, I would have stolen all your customers."

Kurosaki Isshin's heart, which had just been moved, clenched violently. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Kurosaki Masaki covered Yuuko's mouth first.

"No, Yuko, we still have a life to live in the future."

Yu Zi pushed her hand away, unable to suppress a smile: "You're already thinking about other people's feelings before you're even married into the family?"

"Ikuko~"

After joking around for a while, the two left the Butterfly House, probably to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

However, judging from their interpersonal relationships in the real world, they probably only have these neighbors as friends.

After watching the two leave, the clinic was unusually quiet today. Yuko got up from her chair, took out a list, and began to organize the medicines on the shelves.

Just then, a faint sound entered Yuko's ears.

"Ok?"

Yuko turned around in confusion and looked at the floor behind her.

It's like a manhole cover on a street after the rain, being pushed up one by one.

boom! ! !

A sound.

Amid Yuko's stunned expression, a group of people scrambled out from inside.

"You stepped on my head! You idiot, Xiaoyu!"

"Could you please move over there? Tessai, your butt is crowding me."

"Let me go out first!"

As everyone was stuck in the crowded floor, a pair of leather boots came into view with a thud.

Everyone looked up and saw Yu Zi, wearing a white coat, standing in front of them with a gloomy expression, her right hand on a chair.

The crowd waved their hands frantically, pleading, "Please wait!"

after a little while.

"Give."

Yuko poured a cup of tea for everyone in a rather irritable manner.

"Thanks." Kisuke Urahara, with a large bag on his head, dusted off his clothes and sat down with a grin.

Xiaoyu nodded earnestly: "Thank you."

Both Tessai and Jinta, with large bumps on their heads, were kneeling in front of the floor, repairing the damage.

Yu Zi said expressionlessly, "I said, when did you bunch of bastards dig up my site?"

Kisuke Urahara: "Aren't you going to ask us what we're here for?"

Yuko said indifferently, "I'm not interested in that."

Kisuke Urahara clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "That's only because I haven't said anything yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, a white bolt of lightning grazed his cheek, singeing a strand of hair, and struck the wall behind him, leaving a dark mark.

Yu Zi calmly withdrew her hand: "And the wall too."

Shen Tai immediately stood up, expressing his dissatisfaction: "Huh? We didn't do that!"

Yu Zi looked at him calmly: "Do you have any objections?"

"...No, I wouldn't dare."

Tetsuzai looked at Ikuko with a serious expression: "That was... Mu-chan?"

Not only was the complete chanting abandoned, but even the name was discarded.

Yu Zi said straightforwardly, "Wouldn't chanting about ghost magic make the enemy more prepared?"

"..."

That's true, but even abandoning the incantation in the Ghost Path requires a lot of practice, let alone completely abandoning the incantation when even the name is discarded.

Kisuke Urahara waved his hand with a smile: "Well, don't be angry, it's just to make it easier to move around."

"Easy to move around? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can never move again."

"..."

Kisuke Urahara shrugged: "Okay, actually we just dug him up today."

Yu Zi's eyelids twitched: "Believe it or not, I'll sue you for trespassing and damaging other people's property?"

"You bastard, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."

"Spare me, my old bones will surely die instantly in prison."

"Who cares about you!"

"Oh dear, that's quite heartless of you." Kisuke Urahara snapped his fan shut, his expression becoming more serious. "Actually, there's something I want to show you."

"What is that?" Yuko looked at it expressionlessly.

"Well, you'll see when you come with us." Kisuke Urahara seemed to be keeping us in suspense, but worried that Ikuko might not give him face, so he added, "Don't worry, it'll definitely be something that will help you."

Yuko frowned, but ultimately decided to follow Urahara Kisuke. There weren't many customers this afternoon, so they might as well close down for a quick clean-up.

She hung up the sign saying the store was closed and followed Kisuke Urahara and his group to the Urahara Store.

"So, why go underground?"

Getting up from underground, Yuko dusted herself off and looked at Kisuke Urahara with a gloomy expression.

She thought it led to some place in the suburbs, but it turned out to be just the Urahara Store!

"Probably because it's interesting."

Yoruichi lay on the shelf, her chin resting on her paws, watching Yuuko with great interest.

Yuko threatened grimly, "You'd better be able to convince me."

Terrible woman.

Jin Tai wiped the cold sweat from his cheeks.

"Come with me." Kisuke Urahara ignored Ikuko's threat and led her into the basement of Urahara Store.

Wow~ There's such a huge space in the basement of the store!

Kisuke Urahara made a sound of shock, as if amusing himself.

Yu Zi didn't even glance at him, and walked past him to the bottom.

Kisuke Urahara followed, looking dejected. "I have to say, you're really being incredibly disrespectful."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to do stupid things?"

"..."

"So, this is what you want me to see?" Yu Zi pointed to a human-shaped sign, about the height of a person, placed in the center of the venue.

"This is called the Transcendental Body. It can forcibly materialize the Zanpakuto's true form." Yoruichi, who had somehow transformed back into human form and was dressed in casual clothes, slowly approached Ikuko from behind.

Yuko turned back in confusion: "Concretization? If it's just simple visualization, I can do that myself."

This involves bringing the spirit of a Zanpakuto to life in the real world, which requires the master and the Zanpakuto to have an extremely high degree of synchronization and understanding.

"So it's mandatory."

Yu Zi frowned slightly.

"The Shikai of Zanpakuto is achieved through dialogue and synchronization, while the Bankai requires the Zanpakuto to materialize and the user to submit."

"However, during Bankai training, the Zanpakuto may not always cooperate fully with its master."

"The function of the Transcendental Body is to forcibly pull the Zanpakuto into reality, making it completely materialized, presenting it in physical form during this period, and making it impossible to escape."

"The only drawback is that this method can only be used to materialize one time, and the time limit is only three days," Yoruichi continued. "The materials required for the transformation into a divine body are scarce, and at that time you lacked communication and interaction with your Zanpakuto."

"That is precisely why we chose this time to tell you the method of transforming your divine body."

Yu Zi raised an eyebrow: "Lack of communication and exchange?"

"Do you really think you can communicate with a Zanpakuto just by guessing its name?" Yoruichi was speechless at this point.

“No, I even cook for her from time to time,” Yu Zi said matter-of-factly. “But she eats it all without ever telling me.”

"Cook, make a meal..."

Even Kisuke Urahara almost fell over.

Yuko shrugged: "In terms of the inner world, can't I do whatever I want?"

Yoruichi rubbed her forehead: "In short, the most convenient way to master Bankai is through the Transcendental Body, but if we can't subdue the Zanpakuto within these three days, this method will be completely useless."

"If you're confident, you can insert your Zanpakuto into the Tenshintai right now..."

Yu Zi said calmly, "I refuse."

Yoruichi wasn't angry; she simply asked, "Why?"

Yuko said seriously, "The Bankai that is forced to submit to master through this method is definitely not willing. The Bankai's power may even decrease, and if the Zanpakuto harbors resentment, it might even rebel against its master."

"No way!" Yoruichi couldn't hold back any longer. "What's going on in your head, you idiot?!"

Yuko raised her hand in refusal: "Even if there are no side effects, I still don't want it."

"...Why?" Yoruichi's tone was somewhat weak.

Yuko replied matter-of-factly, "Because it was forced, right? I don't want to do something like that without the Zanpakuto's permission."

Everyone: "..."

Kisuke Urahara covered his face with his fan: "That's quite a reason..."

That's exactly the kind of reason Yuko would give.

Yoruichi rubbed her temples, at a loss for words.

Click...

Seeing Yuuko abruptly plunge her Zanpakuto into the Tenshintai, Yoruichi's mouth gaped open slightly: "Didn't you say you didn't want to force your Zanpakuto?!"

This guy!!!

Yoruichi was so angry that she was trembling all over and couldn't help but want to beat her up.

Yuko turned her head innocently: "Because Butterfly said she wanted to come out."

The body gradually collapsed due to the entry of the Zanpakuto.

Wow! ! !

Accompanied by a flurry of flying rocks, a figure about 1.6 meters tall appeared at the location of the Transcendent Body.

Everyone raised their hands to shield themselves from the wind and sand, then looked up ahead.

"first meet."

A girl with a horn on her head and wearing a flashy butterfly kimono bowed slightly to the crowd politely.

Everyone: "..."

That's really... quite polite.

This aligns with their understanding of Ikuko's Zanpakuto.

This Zanpakuto isn't that kind; this idiot would never master Shikai so easily.

but……

"That posture is exactly the same as Yuuko's after she turned into a demon." Yoruichi calmly observed the butterfly, noticing its demon horns or the slightly exposed veins.

"Okay! Let's go!"

After greeting everyone, Butterfly, holding Yuko's hand, walked happily towards the stairs.

"Wait!" Yoruichi paused for a moment, then blocked their path. "Where are you going?"

Yuko explained, "Because the butterfly said it wanted to taste the food of the mortal world."

That's why I summoned her?

Yoruichi trembled slightly, pulled Yuko away from Butterfly, and grabbed her by the collar, giving her a thorough spittle.

"Just for that reason?!"

"Didn't I tell you?"

"The Divine Body Transformation is an item that can only be used once!"

Yuko was a little dizzy from being shaken around.

The butterfly watched the interaction between the two with a smile and explained, "I heard about what you said about making me submit through the transformation of my divine body."

Yoruichi stopped shaking Yuuko and looked at the butterfly.

Butterfly smiled and said, "However, I think it's impossible for Yuko to defeat me right now."

"You probably think that Yuuko can defeat me through direct confrontation, but unfortunately, I am not a weak Zanpakuto."

“I also possess the abilities that Yuko possesses, and I still possess the abilities that Yuko does not possess.”

"Moreover, the so-called Transcendental Body is actually just giving the Shinigami an unavoidable communication with the Zanpakuto."
