Chapter 127 Shinobu's Secret: Murder to Silence?
Chapter 127 Shinobu's Secret: Murder to Silence?
"I'm completely defeated by you, Shinobu."
Kanae Kocho said to her younger sister Shinobu Kocho with a hint of helplessness, "As expected, you're still as impulsive as ever."
Although I had some reservations about Shinobu's willful behavior, the deed was already done.
There was no point in saying anything more, so Kanae Kocho had no choice but to accept it.
No matter what the consequences may be, she and her sister will bear them together.
"Even though I've said it many times, but—"
Kanae Kocho said gently to Shinobu Kocho, "Shinobu, your big sister is back—"
Butterfly's eyes trembled slightly. A radiant smile instantly bloomed on her face: "Welcome back, sister~"
If you were to ask Su Yan if he felt surprised by the current situation, that would be a good question.
Su Yan's answer was unexpected.
But it wasn't particularly unexpected.
It was completely unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.
After all, the bond between the sisters Kanae and Shinobu Kocho is deeper than that between any other pair.
In the original work, after Kanae Kocho's death.
Shinobu Kocho then began to learn from the other person's example, and even though she felt disgusted, she still used the gentlest method to kill every demon she encountered.
Kanae Kocho, although she did not officially appear in the original work, only appeared when her younger sister Shinobu Kocho also died at the hands of Upper Moon Two Doma.
It appeared in a flashback-like manner, taking away the deceased Shinobu Kocho.
This undoubtedly proves that Kanae Kocho had been waiting for him all along.
Moreover, this was undoubtedly confirmed in the modern-day side story after the main story ended.
The two sisters were reincarnated in the modern era and became sisters again.
Nen abilities are inherently biased towards idealism.
This kind of situation is perfectly normal.
Su Yan crushed the parchment of equivalent exchange that she hadn't had time to give away.
Since Kanae Kocho has also become her contractor under the influence of her younger sister Shinobu Kocho, this deal is no longer necessary.
"Mr. Su Yan!"
Kanae Kocho released Shinobu Kocho, looked at Su Yan, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome----"
Su Yan was about to be modest.
The next second, a fragrant breeze wafted over.
Then a warm, smooth sensation came from my face.
Then, Kanae Butterfly leaned close to Su Yan's face and gently kissed it.
"This is a thank-you gift, Mr. Su Yan."
Kanae Kocho then said gently, "Please take care of me from now on~"
"Sister~"
Seeing her sister kiss Su Yan, Shinobu Kocho felt a pang of jealousy.
I wonder if this sour feeling is because of Su Yan? Or because of her sister, Kanae Butterfly?
"Oh? Is Shinobu jealous?"
Kanae Kocho teased, "Well, Shinobu has already become the Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, but I didn't expect her to still be like a child."
If Shinobu's cunning is a product of learning from her older sister, Kanae,...
She has always been that impulsive, easily angered, and short-tempered younger sister.
So, Kanae Kocho's personality is truly cunning and ruthless.
"No way!" Shinobu Kocho said angrily.
"That's settled then."
With that, Kanae Kocho kissed Shinobu Kocho on the cheek: "Is that alright now?"
Butterfly's gaze wandered.
Although she didn't say anything, it was clear that she was very happy.
She immediately noticed Su Yan's gaze, glared at him, and said, "What are you looking at? You're getting a good deal!"
In front of her older sister, Shinobu Kocho completely abandoned her previous gentle yet cunning facade.
She turned back into the grumpy little girl she used to be.
Su Yan was unable to refute.
Buy one get one free, this is a real steal!
And they're not fake sisters like Yuriko Takashiro and the others; they're genuine sisters.
"Alright, Shinobu, take me to see the Butterfly Mansion."
Seeing the embarrassment on Su Yan's face, Kanae Butterfly smiled and helped her out, saying, "I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions everyone will have when they see me later."
"Especially that girl Kanao, I bet her expression will be quite amusing, right?"
Shinobu Kocho also gave up the idea of making things difficult for Su Yan.
Although she has returned to her original self, the habits formed from a long period of pretense are not so easy to get rid of.
When Kanae Kocho said she was going to find the other people to see their reactions.
Shinobu Kocho also became interested and, pulling on Kanae Kocho's arm, said enthusiastically, "Come on, I'll take you to see Kanae right now."
"Let me tell you, yesterday afternoon when that child heard about the question about his sister, he hesitated for a long time before flipping the coin in his hand."
"If she sees her sister come back, her sister's presence will surely make the child normal again, right?"
"Su Yanxian—Su Yan, do you want to come along?"
Kanae Butterfly realized the change in their relationship and naturally changed her tune, inviting Su Yan to join her.
"Sister, why are you bothering with him?"
Kocho Shinobu, harboring resentment, deliberately belittled him, saying, "That scumbag is no good person. If I hadn't arrived in time to stop him yesterday afternoon, he would definitely have already made a move on Kanao."
After saying that, without waiting for Kocho Kanae and Su Yan's reaction, he took Kocho Kanae's hand and walked to the door.
To this, Kanae Butterfly could only offer Su Yan an apologetic smile.
Su Yan didn't care about that.
In other words, Shinobu Kocho might still be a little confused about the current situation.
After she learned what the contract and Nen ability really meant, she realized it.
If they still value their younger sister Kanao Tsuyuri in the future, they might even actively push her towards them.
Shinobu Kocho opened the door, and a familiar face instantly appeared before her.
Outside the door, Kanzaki Aoi was holding a breakfast she had prepared for Su Yan and was about to knock on the door.
Just then, the door was opened, and Kanzaki Aoi was startled for a moment before quickly saying, "Lord Su Yan, this is today's breakfast—"
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that it wasn't Su Yan's face that appeared before her, but Kocho Shinobu's.
So she quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Lady Shinobu, I went to the wrong room. I should have delivered it to Lady Su Yan."
With that, Kanzaki Aoi turned to leave.
Shinobu Kocho quickly called out to the other person, "Wait, Aoi, you're not in the wrong place. This is Mr. Scumbag's room."
"Oh, ah?!"
Kanzaki Aoi responded instinctively, then froze completely.
Did I not go to the wrong place?
What happened when Shinobu Kocho came out of Su Yan's room this morning?
As a fellow woman, Kanzaki Aoi could easily tell that Kocho Shinobu had clearly just woken up not long ago.
She hadn't even had time to tidy her clothes and hair; she looked completely messy.
Could it be that...?
Did they sleep in the same room last night?
Thinking hard.
Kanzaki Aoi couldn't help but wonder if she would be silenced by Shinobu Kocho now that she knew her secret.
"Okay—okay."
Kanzaki Aoi turned her head shakily, and then saw an unbelievable scene.
Beside Shinobu Kocho was the person she had pulled out of the room with her.
It was actually Kanae Butterfly, who had died two years ago?!
Kanzaki Aoi's hand trembled, and before she knew it, the breakfast she was holding fell to the ground.
