When questioned, the mother, with her feudal mindset, answered in this way: Because she is Shiori's mother, she has the right to make her daughter sacrifice herself to protect the villagers who always bully Shiori.
"From her expression and the details, Shirogane Miyuki could tell that this mother really had feelings for Shiori."
"But without a doubt, this affection couldn't outweigh her desire to protect the villagers."
"Was she truly unable to bear watching the villagers being killed by the hundred-ghost bats, or did she want to become the savior of this village and gain praise?"
"About this, Shirogane Miyuki had no idea. He took a deep breath and slapped Shiori's mother across the face—for him, who had almost been separated from Kei and never had any contact with her again, it was like projecting the current situation onto the past."
"Xiao Gui rejected his mother with his own will and continued his kinship with his older brother."
"In this feudal era, Shiori had no chance to resist and could only obey the orders of her mother who was biased towards outsiders."
"What a heartbreaking story about my younger sister."
""…snort……""
"Mother Shiori didn't resort to a shrewish outburst, but she still insisted on her opinion: 'Sending Shiori away will at least bring peace to the village... What!?'"
"As soon as she finished insisting that she had 'maximized her profits,' a huge swarm of ghost bats flew in from the sky, blotting out the sun, and came to the fishing village with a cheer, and began a wanton massacre."
"—"
When Shiori's mother witnessed this scene, her heart was gripped tightly. There was no doubt that Ookumaru had gone back on his word and continued to eat people after obtaining Shiori.
She shook her head in disbelief, her face full of regret.
Just now, until the hundred ghost bats attacked the village, she, like her future self, believed that this was the right choice.
But as it turned out, she was wrong, terribly wrong. She lost both her daughter and her village. Before this, she could have argued that although she had wronged her daughter and was morally flawed, she was right in the end.
Now, she really needs to ask herself honestly and reflect deeply.
"Shiori, I'm sorry, Shiori... I won't send you away again, I won't do it again." The mother, beginning to realize her mistake, hugged her daughter and murmured her repentance.
Zizhi had deep feelings and attachment to her mother. She did not resent her mother for being sent away in the future. She just shed tears and hugged her mother tightly.
Meanwhile, the fishermen who had been cheering for Shirogane Miyuki and the others to come and kill the Hundred Demon Bat Clan immediately started cursing after seeing his strong opposition to the sacrifice of Shiori.
"Without sacrificing that annoying half-demon brat, how could our village possibly hold out until they arrive? Ah! Help me! Help!"
puff.
One second the crowd was shouting and cursing, the next second they disappeared without a trace as a large number of villagers' heads were cut off and eaten, replaced by various panicked cries for help.
"Find Zizhi! Find my granddaughter!"
Ookumaru shrieked, casually killing someone and chewing and swallowing it like a snack.
Minutes later, the entire fishing village was slaughtered, but the mother and daughter, Zizhi, were nowhere to be found. It was learned that they had already run away to some unknown place.
A deafening roar echoed along the coast.
At the same time, in the new base, Naraku was not as angry as Daigokumaru, but he was still very unhappy.
He sensed that Amber seemed to be fighting against the restrictions he had imposed, her will violently clashing with her past memories against the shackles—that wouldn't do.
This was a very good hand, and he was reluctant to give it up, but Kagura was already dead.
Since that's the case...
"Go, Shinna, go and bring Amber back."
She is the older sister, older than Kagura, but despite being dressed in white and expressionless, Kanna's body is only about the size of a fourteen-year-old.
With nothing to her name, she quietly left, clutching her ever-present mirror, to carry out her mission.
Kanna is very obedient, emotionless, and will not betray you. She is the most useful clone, unlike Kagura who makes him lose face and cause him trouble.
This is both Naraku's viewpoint and the actual fact.
But that's all in the past.
"...Kagura..."
The emotionless Kanna did the first thing after leaving Naraku: she murmured Kagura's name, her face showing some sadness.
Kagura, who yearns for freedom, is her mischievous younger sister and the only person she cares about.
When Naraku crushed Kagura's heart, she began to experience emotional fluctuations and develop her own will. If there is anyone in the world who most wants Naraku to be killed immediately, she would definitely be among them.
"Kagura..."
Muttering to herself, Kagura raised her head and gazed in a certain direction, where she sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, presence of Kagura.
Even Naraku himself couldn't sense it, but it was only because of the special feelings between her and Kagura that she discovered it in the darkness.
Having completely forgotten about Naraku's mission, Kagura carelessly changed direction and headed towards Kagura's location.
"What are you doing! Didn't Ōgokumaru promise that he wouldn't bother this village again once he got Shiori?!"
"Mother Shiori cried out in grief and indignation, but her grief and indignation did not stop the hundred demon bats; on the contrary, it increased their interest. One of them laughed loudly: "What a joke! You believe such a thing? We can do whatever we want. Boss Daigokumaru only ordered us to come because he wants to eat people!"
"As if struck by lightning, Zizhi's mother collapsed in shock. She finally saw through the true colors of the Hundred Demon Bats and realized her own mistakes."
"Tch, this is really unbearable to watch." Inuyasha pulled out the Tessaiga. "How about we cause some chaos, Miyuki?"
"Shirogane Miyuki drew his Daylight Blade, his eyes fierce. 'Today, I will bathe in the blood of Oogakuremaru.'"
"Although I have no desire to save these stupid and wicked people here, I can't just stand by and watch humans be slaughtered by monsters without any reason, compared to humans and demons."
"Miroku, Kagome, Sango, and Natsumi also joined the battle, leaving Sesshomaru holding Rin's hand, standing aside and watching indifferently."
"If he were an ordinary human, he wouldn't be so stingy as to refuse to help Shirogane Miyuki, but this kind of human, ha..."
"Let's skip it."
618. Orthopedics Bar Kirino
"Phew... how important it is to have good parents."
At the Kosaka home, Kosaka Kyosuke felt a lot of emotions.
Although his parents did treat him differently because Kirino was more outstanding, they never neglected their mediocre son and loved him, Kousaka Kyosuke.
The most classic example is when he tried to help Kirino by claiming that all the adult games and magazines belonged to him, even though he was mentally prepared to be beaten up by his father.
Unexpectedly, his usually rigid and stubborn father indulged him and even covered for him by not telling his mother.
He was truly grateful for this; it was the most obvious feeling of love from his father he had ever experienced in his life.
Her father was as excellent as Shirogane Miyuki's father, far better than the parents of Hikigaya Hachiman, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and Shiori's mother.
Kyosuke Kosaka felt proud and honored.
He will definitely repay his parents well in the future, so that they can enjoy their old age happily.
"Right, Kirino!"
"Hmph, do you even need to tell me?" Kirino Kousaka snorted and turned her head away haughtily.
The brother and sister made a resolution together to never upset their parents again and to make them happy.
"At this point, ordinary monsters like the Hyakki Bats are no longer worth considering and will be slaughtered unilaterally. When they encounter Shirogane Miyuki and Inuyasha, it's no different from when ordinary fishermen encounter them."
"Go and report to Boss Daigokumaru immediately!"
"Upon seeing this, the second and third in command hurriedly fled. When the ordinary demon bats were almost completely wiped out, the two deserters followed behind Daigokumaru and returned arrogantly."
"Daigokumaru is a ferocious-looking, old monster with a wingspan of seven or eight meters. In one of his hands he holds a purple robe, which in turn holds a magical artifact passed down through generations of the Hundred Demon Bat Clan, which can be used to enhance the control of the barrier."
"Lord Oogakure! Why? Why did you do this?"
"Seeing the person in question appear, Shiori's mother was still unwilling to give up. She stumbled to her feet and cried out in resentment, 'Your son, Tsukiyomaru, also wanted peace here. Even for the sake of Tsukiyomaru's bond, can't you keep your promise?'"
"Tsukiyo Maru? Hahahaha! What a joke!"
"Ōgokumaru chuckled sinisterly, "My foolish son, because he's infatuated with you, a human woman, actually dared to threaten me, saying that if we invade this village, he'd abandon his duty and leave my clan."
"I have absolutely no need for such a disobedient son, haha, my good daughter-in-law, do you want to guess how Tsukiyomaru died?"
"Could it be—"
"That's right, I killed him, hahaha!"
"Ookumaru's undisguised mocking laughter struck Shiori's mother like a blow. Her face turned ashen, and she could never have imagined that her husband had died at the hands of his own father."
"To ensure Zizhi can protect my clan with peace of mind, I won't kill you. Hurry up and hide, be thankful." Ōyūmaru's killing intent was intense. "As for you fearless outsiders, you'll become my spoils of war, my stepping stones!"
"Shirogane Miyuki's expression was unusually cold. 'You're quite arrogant, but you won't be my spoils of war. I'm going to grind you to dust, leaving not a single bone behind. Prepare to be torn to pieces, Oogakumaru.'"
"Compared to Shiori, who was an incompetent mother, Ookumaru, who murdered his own child, angered Shirogane Miyuki even more. He had insulted the title of father."
"Whoosh!"
"With a wave of his sword, the silvery-white sword energy filled the heavens and earth in an instant. A moment later, the clanging sound of sword energy clashing rang out. All the sword energy was blocked by the blood-red barrier and did not harm Daigokumaru in the slightest."
"Little brat, can you break through my precious granddaughter's barrier? No way, hehehe. She's the most talented person in the history of the Hundred Ghost Bat clan, but unfortunately, she's a half-demon… This strongest barrier will leave you in despair, brat!"
"You want me to sigh in despair? You really dare to say that, Zizhi. Your mother no longer needs you to stay with your grandfather, and this village no longer needs your protection. Open the barrier, and you no longer need to return to that cave full of bloodthirsty monsters!"
"Shiori seemed interested, but Daigokumaru immediately raised his finger and threatened Shiori that if she did not do her best to open the barrier, she would die immediately."
"If she's alive, then she can have the chance to see her mother again in the future."
"Under this threat, Shiori had no choice but to comply."
"Out of options, aren't you, brat? Now I'm going to tear you to pieces and see how you manage to live up to your boast, hehehe!"
"Ookumaru seems to think victory is assured, and he's quite smug."
"Shirogane Miyuki showed no sign of disappointment. He never expected to win by relying on Shiori's letting him win. The reason he shouted was just to find out what kind of person Shiori was."
"Then he realized that this was a good child, just like Xiao Gui, who valued family and parents very much."
"In that case..."
"It seems you've made a mistake, Oogakumaru." Shirogane Miyuki smiled confidently.
"Going it alone isn't our style. Hey, you, Daigokumaru, are you blind?" Carrying the Tessaiga, Inuyasha took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with his best friend.
"Noisy." Sesshomaru walked over gracefully, sword in hand. He had had enough of the awful voice of the Hundred Demon Bats.
"Cold sweat slowly trickled down Daigokumaru's forehead. His gaze swept over the Daylight, the Tessaiga, and the Gentoki. With a thud, he immediately urged Shiori to activate the strongest barrier at maximum power and flapped his wings, ready to turn and fly away."
"However, before he left this place, the three divine weapons had already begun to shine."
