I transformed into a demonic spider lily.

Why didn't you say so sooner!

Kikyo immediately shouted.

"Look at your reaction! How can I dare to talk to you again? Besides, I don't even look down on you, why are you reacting so strongly?"

The expression on Higanbana's face suddenly became playful. Although she didn't mean to make Kikyo angry, she felt a sense of pleasure when Kikyo got angry.

"This of mine, that of yours... how can this be repaired!"

Kikyo seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she was speechless, feeling that it would be useless to say anything. The spider lily is a demon, and in its eyes, bleeding is probably just a congenital injury, and there is no shame or embarrassment in it. It is not advisable to talk to a brick wall.

"I am leaving."

In the end, all I could manage to say was this one sentence.

However, the red spider lily reached out and grabbed the hem of the bellflower's clothes, saying very seriously, "I forbid you to go."

"Hana~ What are you up to now? I can go by myself this time. You can rest at home. I'll be back before the afternoon, I promise you," Kikyo coaxed.

“I said, you are in ‘that time’ now.”

"It's alright, it's just a small matter and won't affect me. Don't worry."

“It’s not a question of ‘whether it will have an impact,’ but rather that you clearly know you are at ‘that time,’ yet you still disregard your health and do things that I don’t like.”

"What do you want?"

Unable to argue with the spider lily, the bellflower asked a question.

"Whoosh~~~"

The red spider lily whistled.

"coming!"

The white wolf rushed over.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: White Wolf, This is the mission assigned to you by the organization.

……

"Lady Higanbana, what do you want to see me about?" Hearing Higanbana's whistling from afar, the white wolf excitedly ran back into the house.

"White Wolf, you've been learning archery from Kikyo for almost a month now, haven't you?"

"Sit up," said the other shore flower.

That's right.

The white wolf nodded deeply.

"That's all I have to say, but why did you call the White Wolf here?"

Kikyo frowned slightly, but saw Higanbana raise a hand to signal her to be quiet. She could only shut up, but still added, "Speak quickly if you have something to say. I won't let 'you don't like it' stop me from dealing with that matter. I'll leave in ten minutes."

"Leave it to me."

The red spider lily spoke softly to the bellflower first.

Then, she turned to look at the white wolf, her expression suddenly becoming serious, and said solemnly, "However, it is useless to only study theory. The most important thing is practice. Only by applying what you have learned to actual combat will your skills be nothing but empty talk and useless!"

"Lady Higanbana is right."

Even though White Wolf's intelligence is usually quite low, she can now understand what the other shore flower means. Archery is not just a skill for viewing; she wants to be like Lady Kikyo, able to shoot through throats from a hundred meters away.

"Very good! Your awareness is truly worthy of being a demon I value." The Spider Lily specifically praised the White Wolf, then continued, "After careful consideration and discussion with Kikyo, we have decided to give you a trial to test whether your learning has met the standards. Do you understand?"

You didn't discuss this with me at all.

Kikyo is considering whether to expose the other party.

"Understood!" the white wolf exclaimed excitedly.

Whenever special terms like "Kikyo" or "study" are involved, she always gets so excited, a situation where one party is willing to give and the other is willing to receive in every sense of the word.

"There seems to be a troublesome monster in the neighboring village. In any case, that's my territory, so as my top general, White Wolf, I now order you to annihilate it. Can you do it?"

"The other shore flower asked again."

"Lady Higanbana, Lady Kikyo, you can rest assured and leave this matter to me!" White Wolf affirmed once again.

“That’s right. If you return successfully, Kikyo and I will give you that thing as a reward for passing the first stage of training,” Higanbana added.

"What is that thing?"

The white wolf suddenly became curious.

"That's right, that's the thing."

The red spider lily gently nodded.

"Wow~"

The white wolf let out a gasp of surprise.

"So what exactly is that thing?"

Kikyo, on the contrary, fell into confusion.

"I don't know." The white wolf shook his head.

"So what did you 'wow' about?"

"Because I couldn't help it when I thought that it was given to me by Lady Higanbana and Lady Kikyo."

"Uh……"

No, wait a minute.

My current reaction clearly shows I'm completely unaware of this. Haven't you noticed?

Kikyo thought to herself.

"……call out."

This child is a bit slow-witted, just ignore her.

The red spider lily quickly winked at the bellflower.

"Sister White Wolf! What are you going to do?"

At this moment, Feng also ran back, panting. When they were playing in front of the village, the white wolf suddenly ran away and couldn't be called back no matter how much they called. She had no choice but to follow, but the speed difference between the two was too great. She only arrived at the scene after they had finished talking.

After saying that, Feng looked at the other people in the room, especially the look in Higanbana's eyes, as if he had thought of something interesting. He heard Higanbana ask, "Feng, do you want to go and exorcise the monster?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Feng was slightly taken aback, then his pupils dilated, and he also showed an excited expression, saying, "You, you just said you would take me to exorcise the monster? I'll go! You can't go back on your word, or you'll break your promise."

Kaede had been looking forward to exorcising monsters for a long time, but unfortunately, Kikyo never took her along before, and when she did go a few times, she would just watch from the sidelines.

And this time she's required to participate personally?

Feng jumped up and down with excitement.

"Flower~"

Kikyo gently tugged at the clothes of the spider lily, revealing that she still opposed the matter. Although the white wolf was young, its power was already mature. On the other hand, she found it hard to put her mind at ease with Feng. Therefore, she hoped that the other party would take back what she had just said.

Higanbana held Kikyo's hand, signaling with her eyes that she shouldn't worry. At the same time, she picked up a parasol placed to the side and handed it to Kaede, saying, "This time, you're with the White Wolf. I heard it's going to rain this afternoon, so I'm lending you this umbrella. Remember to return it to me when you get back~"

"This umbrella originally belonged to my family, didn't it?"

Feng examined the pentagram under the umbrella handle, which she had drawn there before. Then, she glanced out the window at the clear blue sky without a single cloud and couldn't help but wonder, "Will it rain today?"

"Please trust the weather forecast."

The red spider lily gave her a thumbs up.

Will Sister Hua come with us?

"No, I already said it's you and Hakuro. Even Kikyo wouldn't go."

"If my sister White Wolf and I go to such a far place, we'll definitely have to ride horses, but I've never learned how."

"Well, that's a problem..."

Upon hearing this, the other shore flower looked at the white wolf.

"Lady Higanbana, I can't do that either."

Seeing this, the white wolf quickly waved his hand and said.

"...Are you an idiot? Oh no, I forgot you are an idiot. Sorry, it was my oversight."

"That's so mean!"

"Don't try to be cute with me, I'm not falling for that."

"Waaah..."

"Regarding the mount, White Wolf, you clearly haven't been able to transform for very long, how could you forget that your true form is a wolf?"

The red spider lily gazed at the white wolf.

"Oh right! So I'm actually a wolf after all?"

The white wolf's expression suddenly changed to one of realization.

Please don't say such stupid things.

"Very good, White Wolf, you will carry Maple to carry out this trial. I believe in you both!" The Other Shore Flower encouraged him, clenching her fist.

"Awoo~" The white wolf raised her head and howled. Her figure returned to its original form. Although she was young, she was not as thin as an ordinary horse as a demon. Her graceful figure was like the bright moonlight resting on the earth.

Feng flipped over and mounted the white wolf, hugging its neck tightly. Just as the wolf was about to exert its strength, the other shore flower added, "Walk slowly, don't lose people when we get there."

With a wave of their hands, the red spider lilies bid them farewell.

"...Are you sure it's okay?"

Kikyo finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's alright, they're just a few alien insects. White Wolf can handle them all by himself. Don't let his usual dull and simple-minded appearance fool you; his actual combat strength is among the best in my forest."

The spider lily suggests that even a dozen or so of those rabble monsters combined might not be able to harm the white wolf.
