In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"Aa ...

"A bunch of disgusting, ugly scum!"

"Again! Again and again! Are you going to destroy my and my mother's lives?!"

A piercing roar echoed through the heavens and earth, tearing at the heart.

The lake water was shaken, creating waves, and the black, bloated drowned corpse rose and fell with the waves.

"I'm going to go and tear you all to shreds!" The demon Yukina placed the bear mother on the ground, gritting her teeth and releasing her resentment violently and wildly.

"Xue Nai... don't go yet," Mama Bear whispered.

“...Mommy.” Hoshiguma Setsuna hugged Mama Bear.

"Your body is the most important thing, Xue Nai. I just want to... protect you..." The bear mother was a little confused due to excessive blood loss.

"You'll be much weaker without your original body, and you'll be... killed by them, so don't go..."

After saying this, the mother bear fainted.

The yokai Yukina was left behind, wailing and crying.

The group at the foot of Kurokawa Mountain were startled by the roar and all looked towards the direction of Kurokawa Mountain.

"...So, something like this happened before..." Matou Sawa felt a little sad.

"We, the Matou family, know better than anyone the consequences of disrespecting life." He sighed. "Kurokawa Hideo..."

"So, tomorrow will be the only day this year to end this hell of hatred," Zuo Cun lamented, closing his eyes.

“As long as this place exists, it will generate more hatred. So, even if it means bearing the hatred of Hoshiguma Yukina, I will end her.”

"Perhaps this is also to give her some relief." Zuo Cun's eyes were somewhat evasive.

The fluorescent light on Matou Sawa's hand disappeared, and she patted Samura on the shoulder: "Your injuries are mostly healed, go out first."

"Hmm." Zuo Cun put on his Wu-style clothing and jumped off the carriage.

And on the horizon, a wisp of red cloud began to appear.

“Hoshiguma Yukina won’t be here during the day, so today will be our last chance to rest.” Zamura said, glancing at Matou Sawa, Okita Souji, and Ms. Aryu, who were already asleep.

"We'll go up the mountain when it gets dark..."

------------

Chapter 315 Let's go, to end the purgatory

“Mr. Matou, you’re not Japanese, are you?” Sakura said, lying in a house in Shimomura Kurokawa, looking at Matou Sawa.

Matou Sawa looks very handsome, but there's something clearly off about him.

Putting the issue of hair color aside, this rare burgundy hair color, though uncommon, does exist.

The biggest problem is that Matou Sawa's overall face shape doesn't look very Japanese.

“My grandfather was an English gentleman, and my grandmother was a pure Japanese woman.” Matou Sawa did not hide anything, smiled, and leaned against the door frame. “My father and mother had me, so I am one-quarter English. I thought it wouldn’t be obvious.”

"So that's how it is..." Ryoma rested his head next to Miss Ryoma, who was fast asleep, while Okita also fell asleep on the other side.

"Mr. Samura and Mr. Sakamoto, please get some rest." Matou Sawa stood up. "Since you insist on going up the mountain, I won't stop you. Ishibashi has already gone to scout out the movements of that Tenkakuki. As usual, it seems to be very afraid of daytime, and it has been hiding in the lake all day."

"Ten-Hidden Demon is..." Zuo Cun asked, puzzled.

"The official nickname given to Hoshiguma Setsuna is 'Ten-hidden Demon' because she never appears during the day."

"...I see."

The description of the Hidden Demon is indeed very apt.

Zuocun closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, conserving his energy for the final attack after dark.

......

White Yukina and Youkai Yukina share the same characteristics.

They dislike daytime, but the yokai Yukina's dislike is even more severe; she is even afraid of daytime and afraid of seeing the bright sky.

The white-clad Yukina stayed in the shadows of a house, hugging her legs.

"Mom, did I make the wrong decision...?"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she doubted herself.

Although he knew he bore the responsibility of ending this hell, he also knew that his mother was an unavoidable obstacle in order to bring this hell to an end.

But...

For the past fifty years, the white-haired Hoshiguma Yukina always believed that she could maintain a stable mindset, and that even if the person who would destroy her mother appeared, she had to tell herself that it was inevitable.

However, when Samura, Okita, and Ms. Aryu really charged towards Mother Bear, Shiro Yukina... collapsed and wanted to self-destruct.

She got separated from her family when she was young and was found by her mother bear.

The mother bear was looking for a mate when she unexpectedly found little Snowy.

The gentle mother bear was naturally intelligent, so she gave up her search for a mate and raised the cub that didn't belong to her, or even to any bear.

This upbringing lasted for 15 years.

Until that day—

"Hey! Come and grab her—!"

"That bear is in the way!"

"...Then kill that damn bear! This girl is so beautiful, it's a waste for her to live with a bear. Why don't I..."

"Village chief, after you've had your fill, could you perhaps let us...?"

"She got the knife! Who gave it to her?!"

"...Ugh, this is so annoying, it's really ruining my mood. I'm not eating anymore! Kill him!"

......

And standing in front of the girl was always this seemingly savage, yet incredibly reassuring, black figure.

When the mother and daughter both fell into a pool of blood.

What is Mom thinking?

She just wanted to protect her daughter...

And am I going to make my mother experience that again...?

The white-clad Yukina had an empty look in her eyes.

The ends of my hair are showing a faint tendency to turn black.

But she closed her eyes.

The black ends of her hair turned pure white again.

This is my choice, and the reason I was born.

The reason I was separated from her was to preserve this last shred of reason.

Mom, please forgive me. I know very well that I am an unfilial daughter who does not deserve your love.

However, this inferno gains new resentment and hatred every now and then.

If this continues, this vortex of resentment will eventually spiral out of control.

When that happens, it won't just be the villagers and innocent passersby who are swallowed up; no one will be able to stay out of it.

Ah, so I guess I really am selfish.

I told Mr. Samura the truth, but when he and his companions swung their swords at you, I felt resentment and almost became like the black version of myself.

He kept saying it was to prevent more people from being harmed, but in reality, he was only thinking about himself and his mother.

He really is the worst, the worst person ever.

But even so, I don't want my mother and my dark side to continue sinking into despair.

The magic of the spiritual veins gathered and condensed on the girl's body.

"At least let me do my part... Mom, who has done nothing wrong but has to live in a hell of guilt... should also take a break."

......

In the afternoon, Zuo Cun woke up naturally.

He sensed something.

I sat up and found a figure standing next to me.

"You suddenly appeared in this room, it seems like you're looking for me?" Matou Sawa gave a wry smile.

He initially thought the white-clad girl was a demon, or even the Heavenly Hidden Demon itself, and instinctively wanted to attack, but was instead crushed.

However, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions; they merely released magical power to intimidate me.

Zuo Cun looked up and saw that it was Yukina in white standing next to him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Are you... the white Hoshiguma Setsuna?" Standing up and stretching his arms, Samura was somewhat surprised.

The previous white-clad Yukina looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the one in front of her looked a full sixteen or seventeen.

Moreover, her long, white hair almost reached the ground, and her clear eyes were fixed on Zuo Cun as she nodded.

Zuocun thought for a moment.

He suddenly smiled.

"Since you've chosen to use your own power, it means you've truly made up your mind."

"......Yes."

"I will not struggle any longer."

"Because... I chose to fight against myself and my mother because it was for my own sake."
