There was no pause in her combing of her long hair just now, so it's impossible...

It's caused by your own hair getting tangled or something.

"I have a bad feeling about this... I hope nothing bad will happen today."

Yuri Mariya, who was recently fought over by two god-slayers, is now traumatized and has a lot of worries.

"That 'king' still hasn't left Japan. Could it be that he's preparing a ritual to summon a disobedient god...?"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Saya Miyako's Request

There has never been any evidence that this "king" did not intend to summon the "disobedient god," and if that ritual were to be performed, a "priestess" with powerful spiritual energy like her would naturally be needed.

"However, the 'King' already has a 'White Priestess Princess' by his side, so he probably won't be interested in me."

Yuri Mariya felt her heart pounding slightly, and gently reassured herself, trying to calm her growing anxiety.

Unlike those knight princesses who harbored longing for the existence of a 'king', even though she could be said to have been saved by this 'king' in the last incident.

Yuri knew she owed this "King" a debt of gratitude, but she still hoped to repay it in other ways, and she did not want to be involved in the struggle between the "King" and the "Disobedient God" again.

Such a turbulent life only frightened Yuri.

Taking a deep breath, Yuri stood up, shifting her thoughts to other things.

After tidying up her clothes, Yuri left the shrine and passed by several priests on her way to the main hall.

Yuri greeted them with a smile as they bowed their heads in greeting. The 14-year-old 'Miya-hime' was being respectful and cautious for a reason.

Yuri, who lives in this shrine, holds a higher position than anyone else because she is a rare high-ranking shrine maiden, known as a "Hime-shrine maiden." She possesses the important ability to receive divine revelation from the underworld and see through the nature and origins of disobedient gods.

And she has the responsibility of protecting the spiritual beings in the Kanto region.

That's why she is so respected.

Just then, a woman walked towards Yuri; it was Sayamiya Kaoru, dressed in men's clothing.

"Good morning, Yuri, it's been a long time... No, we just saw each other yesterday, so it doesn't quite sound right..."

Sayamiya Kaoru smiled at Yuri, and when she mentioned 'yesterday,' she seemed to recall the scene of the battle between the Godslayers, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Looking back now, it's really fortunate that we're still alive."

Saya Miyako shrugged slightly and smiled wryly at Yuri.

Upon hearing this, Yuri's face also showed a hint of worry.

"Yes, without experiencing such events, it's really hard to appreciate that living is a wonderful thing."

Yuri paused for a moment as she spoke, recalling the incident of the broken wooden comb, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

The fact that Sayamiya Kaoru, the head of the Tokyo branch of the "Official History Compilation Committee," would come to her door was definitely not just for a simple conversation about this kind of topic.

For some inexplicable reason, Yuri had a bad feeling.

"Chief Saya, what brings you here to see me...?"

Yuri didn't think that the people from the Official History Compilation Committee would come looking for her for no reason. Besides, although she and Sayamiya Kaoru attended the same high school, they didn't have much interaction.

I wouldn't really call them friends; at most, we watched the battle between the Godslayers together yesterday.

Moreover, Yuri would never forget that the Official History Compilation Committee intended to use her as a bargaining chip to exchange for this new "King".

It's impossible for her to trust the "Official History Compilation Committee" right now.

"Actually, I came to see you about the matter of the 'King.' That 'King' has now defeated Marquis Voban on our side, and his fame will surely resound throughout the world. At that time, Marquis Voban's mortal enemy, Luo Hao, the 'Martial Arts King' of Jiangnan and the leader of the Five Prisons Holy Sect, is very likely to come and challenge this 'King' to a duel..."

Saya Miyako carefully considered her words before speaking to Yuri.

"As the 'Hime-shrine maiden' of Musashino, you have an obligation to assist our [Official History Compilation Committee]. We hope that you can persuade this 'King' to leave Japan. We are willing to accept any reward. For the sake of Japan, we hope that you, Yuri, can agree to the request of the [Official History Compilation Committee]."

Sayamiya Kaoru did not speak to Yuri in her own capacity, but rather as a member of the "Official History Compilation Committee".

There are not many magicians with spiritual powers who have inherited the magic traditions of Japan since ancient times, and Yuri Mariya happens to be one of them.

"Musashino" is a group that protects the Kanto region. Although young, the high-ranking priestesses known as "Hime" have duties and obligations to fulfill.

Although Sayamiya Kaoru was right, Yuri still felt a slight tremor of fear.

The earth-shattering battle between the god-slayers from yesterday seemed to reappear in her mind once more. Seeing such a scene on television wouldn't have affected Yuri at all.

But she never wanted to experience the possibility of being wiped out by the aftershocks of a casual attack from the 'Demon Kings' again, no matter what.

“Why me…” Yuri sighed resignedly.

"After what happened yesterday, Yuri, you must have a good understanding of this 'King's' strength. He hasn't left Japan yet. It seems that after defeating Marquis Voban, there's something here that's still attracting him. Money, beauty, or even magical knowledge... these are obviously impossible, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a difficult position."

Sayamiya Kaoru stepped forward and came to Yuri's side, crossing her arms with a slightly serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yuri immediately understood what Sayamiya Kaoru wanted to say, and she uttered the seemingly taboo name in a trembling voice.

"Could it be... a 'rebellious god'...!?"

This is probably the only possibility.

The only things that interest the 'Demon King' on Earth who can destroy cities with a wave of his hand are those of other 'Kings' who are also 'Godslayers'... and 'Disobedient Gods'.

Even though she already knew the name Yuri mentioned, Sayamiya Kaoru couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing it again.

She is only 17 years old this year, and is still a student, but at such a young age she has experienced and witnessed a battle between 'godslayers' that even the world's best magicians may never have seen.

Upon hearing Yuri's voice, Sayamiya Kaoru nodded and continued speaking to Yuri with a wry smile.

“That’s right, the [Official History Compilation Committee] also guessed that way. And if this ‘King’ were to fight the ‘Disobedient God’ here, one can imagine the terrible disaster that would occur. Therefore, we need you to be the one to divert the ‘King’s’ attention. So, we now need your power.”

Yuri seemed to realize something, her eyes reddening slightly, and she asked nervously.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Priestess's Initiative

602234884

"So, what do you need me to do..."

The Official History Compilation Committee is a secret organization that oversees magicians, spiritualists, and information manipulators throughout Japan. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the National Diet Library, and others from the Imperial Household Agency to the Shrine Agency, including shrine maidens and priests like Yuri Mariya, have an obligation to assist this organization.

As for the request from Saya-miya Kaoru, the head of the Tokyo branch of the "Official History Compilation Committee," Man-Yuri Yuri has no way of refusing it.

Sure enough, after hearing the girl's question, Sayamiya Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief, took out a file folder, and handed it to Yuri.

"this is……"

Yuri took the file bag from Sayamiya Kaoru with a blank expression and asked in confusion.

Then, she opened the heavy file bag and took out sheets of A4 paper, which, when put together, amounted to more than ten pages.

Not only that, but it also has color photos printed on it. The photos all show girls who look to be 15 or 6 years old. Although their figures are all different, they all have pretty and cute faces.

There are innocent and cute girls, girls who look like mature women, girls who look very cheerful, and girls who give off a pure and innocent vibe.

The last one is a white woman with long blonde hair, whose beauty even made Yuri a little envious. Even in photos, she exudes a noble air.

"These are the same people from yesterday..."

Yuri stared at the somewhat familiar face in the photo, her mouth agape in surprise as she looked up.

“That’s right, you saw these girls yesterday too. They are the three witches who followed Orihara ‘King’. Two of them are members of the Italian magic societies ‘Bronze Black Cross’ and ‘Red Copper Black Cross’. They are both knights with the ‘Grand Knight’ rank. And the last blonde woman is Princess Alice, the former president and current special advisor of the London Council of Wise Men, who is also known as the ‘White Priestess Princess’.”

Sayamiya Kaoru answered Yuri's question and then continued.

“Yuri Mariya, your task now is to integrate into their society, and then persuade this ‘King’ to leave Japan, or perhaps…”

"What...?" Yuri asked quickly, concerned about Sayamiya Kaoru's unanswered question.

"Or you could have this 'king' accept the allegiance of our [Official History Compilation Committee]."

Upon hearing Sayamiya Kaoru's last words, Yuri stood there, stunned and speechless.

“Yuri, you are the most gifted shrine maiden in all of Japan in terms of spiritual vision. Furthermore, even in a contest of beauty, you have absolutely no reason to lose to them. I hope you can fight for an opportunity for our [Official History Compilation Committee]. Then, our [Official History Compilation Committee], and indeed all of Japan, will be able to receive the protection of this 'King.'”...

If such an opportunity could be seized, it would undoubtedly be more worthwhile than trying to persuade the 'King' to leave.

Good strategy.

As the eldest daughter of the Sayamiya family, one of the four great families, and a figure who holds power in the Kanto Committee, Sayamiya Kaoru has a longer-term vision than most people.

517880761

If the "Official History Compilation Committee," that is, all the magic societies in Japan, could become vassals of this new "king" who defeated Marquis Voban, then they would be able to live more freely in the magic world under the protection of this "king."

To be able to borrow the power of such a powerful 'king' is undoubtedly an honor.

"I don't know if I can do it..."

Yuri's hands, which were holding the file folder, trembled slightly at that moment.

"For the sake of the Official History Compilation Committee and even the whole of Japan, Yuri Mariya, you must not be afraid of any hardship, but bravely face it!"

Saya Miyako encouraged Yuri with a serious expression.

"..."

Yuri's expression crumbled somewhat. Looking at Saya Miyako's attempt to cheer her up, she spoke in a cold voice.

"Speaking of which, you are quite beautiful, and since we are both 'priestesses,' why don't you come with me to meet that 'king'?"

When asked this question, Saya Miyako's expression fell, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She didn't know how to answer. She couldn't very well tell Yuri that she was scared too, could she?

……

Shibuya Ward, Tokyo.

Inside the living room of a villa prepared by the Official History Compilation Committee, Shirou was leaning back on the sofa, examining the "Gorgon Stone" in his hand, which resembled an obsidian medal.

As for the three witches, Princess Alice, Erica, and Liliana, they were currently staring intently at the robot on the television screen, whose screen was now filled with orange juice after it went into overdrive.

"Strange, I was clearly losing just now, why am I suddenly winning again?"

As Liliana watched, this question arose in her mind.

"I don't know. Why don't you think about how such a huge thing was manufactured?"

Erica shrugged.

Princess Alice tilted her head and did not join the conversation.

Liliana looked at Shirou in a daze.
