Lonely Rock for the Blind.

The blue demon next to him took off his mask, revealing Yamada Ryo's face.

"Hello, I am a starving ghost."

"...Hello, what is my fate going forward?"

Nekoyashiki asked politely.

"Welcome your defeat CG, fill my belly with your yang energy..."

Yamada Ryo stepped forward, grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru, and dragged her into the darkness.

Soon after, rustling sounds came from inside.

Kita Ikuyo crouched down and looked at the unconscious Otsuki Yuuko.

"If we can't protect it, this is what will happen..."

...

……

"Ugh!"

Yuuko Otsuki woke up abruptly from her bed.

"You're awake, priestess~"

Kita Ikuyo smiled as she looked at Otsuki Yuuko, while Otsuki Yuuko looked around and finally spotted Nekoyashiki Haru beside her.

"Because we just failed, we have to start all over again from the finish line."

"So, it turns out it's possible to be resurrected..."

Yuuko Otsuki breathed a sigh of relief.

"I won't be intimidated this time! Senior Haru, let's go!"

Yuyuko Otsuki grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru's hand and then walked outside.

Kita Ikuyo shook her head and followed.

Upon reaching the door, Otsuki Yuuko became alert.

However, the blue-faced demon from before had already disappeared.

"Eh?"

Yuuko Otsuki paused for a moment.

"Your protected person just fought the hungry ghost for three hundred rounds and defeated it, so there are no more hungry ghosts now."

Kita Ikuyo said with a smile.

"...In the end...it still came down to Senior Haru...so I didn't accomplish anything, did I?"

Yuyuko Otsuki sighed, then pulled Haru Nekoyashiki along.

"Senior! I will definitely protect you from now on!"

"…it is good."

Haru Nekoyashiki's reactions are a little slow.

Chapter 413 The Test of Courage (Part 2)

"The beach is quiet...and there doesn't seem to be anything strange..."

Yuuko Otsuki nodded.

"Then, let's head towards the forest! Senior Haru! Let's go!"

"I get the feeling you really enjoy these kinds of activities?"

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and said.

"I…"

Yuuko Otsuki paused for a moment.

"Ahem, don't interrupt the priestess, just follow me!"

Yuuko Otsuki pulled Haru Nekoyashiki along as they walked towards the woods.

Soon, we arrived at the entrance to the woods.

In the darkness, a faint blue flame lit up in the forest.

"Ghost...will-o'-the-wisp?!"

Yuuko Otsuki swallowed hard.

"Could it be real fire?"

"Don't worry, it won't cause any accidents."

Kita Ikuyo said from the side.

"That's good... Phew... You guys actually made it look quite professional, I..."

Yuuko Otsuki stretched out her foot and stomped hard on something.

Sizzle!!

A jet of red blood spurted out and splashed onto Yuuko Otsuki's face.

"Eh?"

Yuuko Otsuki brushed the blood from her eyes with her hand, and the crimson stain made her take two steps back.

"…Blood?"

She slowly lowered her head.

What was being stepped on was a tattered head, the face obscured, but it felt like a soft persimmon.

"!"

Otsuki Yuuko's eyes rolled back, and she fell backward.

Snapped…

Nekoyashiki Haru catches Otsuki Yuuko.

"Where did you find the time to make these props?"

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Kita Ikuyo and asked.

"It seems like they were prepared from the beginning!"

Kita Ikuyo said with a smile.

swish swish...

A pink-haired girl wearing a snake crown emerged from the bushes.

"Hello... I am Notsuchi Serpent. The shrine maiden was defeated by me, so..."

Goto Ichiri swallowed hard.

"...You, you're mine now..."

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a while.

Everyone seems to be enjoying it.

Then I certainly can't spoil the fun.

"...I will fight to the end."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said earnestly."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri stared wide-eyed, looking left and right.

"Um...this..."

"Attack! Attack him!"

Kita Ikuyo reminded him.

"what!"

Goto Ichiri realized what was happening and stepped forward, slapping Nekoyashiki Haru on the chest.

"Hey!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki blinked, then obediently lay down.

"You win."

"Huh? So... so what's next..."

Goto Ichiri looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"Of course, anything is fine! He's your prize in Xiao Yi now!"

Kita Ikuyo said.

...

……

"Ugh..."

Yuuko Otsuki got out of bed.

"I...I fainted from fright again..."

Yuyuko Otsuki sighed, then looked at the boy beside her who was lost in thought.

"Um, Senior Haru, I'm sorry..."

"It's alright, no need to apologize. After all, it was me who dragged the priestess down."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.
