Setsuna, wearing the costume of the Shinota Shrine's shrine maiden, ran out of the shrine in a panic with a red face.
"Xue Cai! Why are you here?" Gu Cheng asked in surprise.
"Senior! Um, um, I received a lion... and was introduced by an elder to work as a trainee miko with Yuri, Shio and the others at the Kamiota Shrine."
"Ah - so that's how it is. It's great to see you here." Gu Cheng could see that Xue Cai was lying, but he still chose to help Xue Cai hide it.
"Yes, yes..."
Setsuna looked away guiltily. The day before the Kojou family left Genjin Island, she received an order from the Lion King Agency to take a military transport plane to Kamiota Shrine in advance, to meet up with Yuri and Shio, and to follow Hisano's orders. Here, Hisano told her the plan to use the "Black Shell" to devour the souls of King and Aurora to save Kojou and Nagisa, and her mission was to appease Kojou and prevent him from discovering the plan and doing something unpredictable.
On the other side, Nagisa saw Setsuna appear and immediately ran over happily, grabbed Setsuna's hands and kept chirping and talking. At the same time, with his enthusiastic personality, he quickly became friends with Yuri, Shio and the others.
"It's so great to meet Setsukina here! By the way, are your names Yuri and Shio? Are you and Setsukina both trainee shrine maidens working part-time at the shrine? You and Setsukina have similar temperaments! By the way, what's in your storage boxes?" Nagisa asked Yuri and Shio like a machine gun.
“Ah! Uh, that…”
Yuri and Shio showed evasive looks. As the mechanical sword wizards of the Lion King, they were obviously not good at dealing with Nagisa and were about to reveal their flaws.
"Okay Nagisa, go to the shrine and have a good rest first. There will be an important ceremony tomorrow that will require your and Kojo's help." Hisano covered for Yuri and Shio.
"Okay, grandma." After hearing what his grandma said, Nagisa had to give up chatting with Setsuna and the other two girls, and obediently followed his grandma into the shrine, with Yuri and Shio following closely behind.
"I, I will lead the way for senior and uncle and aunt." Xue Cai walked in front and led the three of them to the guest room.
……
Setsuna first took Yagi and Fukamori to the room prepared for the couple. After settling them down, she took Kojou to the backyard of the shrine.
"Senior, this is your room. I live in the one next to it. If you need anything, you can come to me. Oh! By the way, Lady Hisano said that the hot spring behind the shrine is very effective. She asked you to go and take a bath tonight."
"Okay, I understand. By the way, Xue Cai, why were you late just now?" Gu Cheng asked curiously.
Hearing Gu Cheng's question, Xue Cai immediately became shy and said: "I, I stayed in bed this morning, and ended up saying too much."
Setsuna was extremely ashamed. She was once an excellent student in the Lion King Agency and was known for her hard work, seriousness and punctuality in training. But today, she was late in front of Yuri and Shio. She still remembered the shocked expressions of Yuri and Shio when they saw her late. In their opinion, Setsuna, an excellent student, was late, which was like the sun rising from the west.
Xuecai gave Gu Cheng a look that was both reproachful and sweet. The culprit who made Xuecai look so embarrassed and change today was Gu Cheng in front of her. He made Xuecai become more like an ordinary girl, instead of the weapon that only knew how to fight.
"Oh, so that's great!" Gu Cheng smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"It's all embarrassing! What's good about it?" Xue Cai asked with a pout.
Gu Cheng stroked Xue Cai's head with a smile and said, "Now Xue Cai has become more like an ordinary girl. In this way, I can rest assured."
"Senior...!" Xue Cai looked at Gu Cheng in astonishment. For some reason, she felt uneasy when she heard Gu Cheng's words. Gu Cheng's words just now were like saying goodbye to her...】
Traveler: "For some reason, I have a bad feeling. I always feel that Akatsuki Kojou is planning something."
Kasumi Shiko: "Isn't it obvious? The plan of Guy, Akatsuki Yajo and others has long been known to Akatsuki Kojo. Once the plan succeeds, not only King, but Aurora will also die. With the position of Aurora in his heart, he will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death."
Ya Zong: "Not only Akatsuki Kojou, the Bishop, but also Queen all have their own plans, but we don't know what the results of their plans will be."
Gudako: "This time Fangire and the Sanctuary Treaty Organization have sent out their best troops! The Sanctuary Treaty Organization has the three True Ancestors with the elite of the Empire of Night plus a large number of magic attack troops, while Fangire has all four chess generals deployed, as well as Yuuma and Shizuku as knights, Okazaki Tomoya as a pawn, plus a space battleship and a whole combat force. I have a feeling that Lake Kamiroko will be flooded with blood!"
Kashiwagi Eri: "This should be the first all-out war between the humans of the Kiva world and the demons and Fangire clan! But, how should I put it... the gap in strength between the two sides is too big. I really don't think the Sanctuary Treaty Organization has any chance of winning. The gap in strength between the two sides is too big."
President of the Student Council of Shuchi Academy: "It's not that there is no chance of winning. Although Fangire has all the advantages, it is also full of contradictions. Akatsuki Kojou, the big boss, is obviously biased towards the human side. I don't know what the Queen is planning, but it seems that she is not on the same page with the Bishop. I'm afraid the Bishop is the only one who will really deal with the Sanctuary Treaty Organization."
[At night, in the natural hot spring behind the Shinota Shrine.
"I never felt this before, it's so comfortable to soak in this hot spring!"
Gu Cheng stretched out in the hot springs comfortably. The temperature of the hot springs in the baths was about 40 degrees, a comfortable temperature that was neither too hot nor too warm. It is said that the hot springs here have the effects of treating muscle and joint pain, recuperating after illness, and maintaining the skin. Most importantly, this is an excellent spiritual spring that can heal the consumed spiritual energy.
After Nagisa had taken a bath, it was Kojou's turn. It is worth mentioning that when Nagisa was taking a bath in the hot spring, a white-haired girl who called herself Shiranai suddenly broke into the hot spring and flirted with Nagisa. Shiranai was more skilled than Nagisa and made Nagisa faint.
Kojou sensed that there were two souls in the white-haired girl's body, one was Shiranai's, and the other was an old man with a will that had been passed down for thousands of years. (This is the plot in the original work. When I saw this, I felt that Nagisa was really an old driver disguised as a lolita.)
Shiraha didn't know that everything she did to Nagisa was sensed by Kojou in the distance, but he sensed that Shiraha didn't seem to have any ill will towards Nagisa, and with his current strength, even if the dead were alive, as long as time hadn't passed too long, he could revive them at will, and no one in the world could hurt Nagisa in front of him. So Kojou didn't ask about Shiraha's actions.
Gu Cheng leaned back on the edge of the hot spring, stretched again, and put the warm towel on his face. At this time, his powerful perception detected a familiar breath behind him.
“…You’re here! Queen.”
Gu Cheng pulled off the towel on his face and slowly turned around. A blonde goddess in a black dress and a veil was standing behind him, looking at him lovingly.
"Long time no see! Gucheng, do you mind if I sit next to you for a while?"
Queen leaned forward slightly and took off her black boots, revealing a pair of snow-white and delicate jade feet. She walked lightly to the side of Gucheng and sat down, her pair of white jade feet dangling and playing in the hot spring.
Gu Cheng stared blankly at the mysterious girl beside him who looked like the goddess of the moon. Ever since he knew that Queen might be using him, he had some doubts and resentments towards Queen. He had always wanted to meet Queen because of his love for her, but he was afraid that after meeting her, she would tell him that she was really using him.
But at this moment, after seeing Queen again, he found that all his doubts and resentments towards Queen had disappeared. Looking at the mysterious girl beside him, he only felt love and trust for her. For no reason, a thought popped up in his mind: "Queen will never betray me."
Queen stepped directly into the hot spring, raised her snow-white neck, opened her arms, and turned around lightly. The hot spring soaked her luxurious black dress bit by bit, clinging to her body that was more perfect than the golden ratio. She was shrouded in white mist, and at this moment she really was a fairy descending to earth.
Queen chuckled, and with her bare white feet, she slowly walked to Gu Cheng's side and sat down, leaning on him very casually and naturally. The luxurious black dress was finally completely soaked, and her gorgeous golden hair was also stained with some water stains. Water droplets fell along the ends of her hair into the hot spring, rippling, and Gu Cheng's heart was also rippling.
"...Queen, Aurora is still alive and I want to save her, but I met Tomoya, and the bishop asked him to come here obviously and he is planning something, so I need your help. My plan is..." Kojou is worried that Setsuna, Nagisa and others will get hurt tomorrow, so he plans to tell his plan to Queen. He believes that Queen will definitely help him.
But Queen raised her slender white jade hand from the water, put her index finger on Gucheng's lips, and stopped him from saying anything else.
"I know what Gucheng is thinking. I will help Gucheng." Queen looked at Gucheng with eyes as clear as spring water and said very gently.
"But now, can we not talk about these things? I'm so tired and want to rest for a while, okay? Gucheng." There was a hint of fatigue in Queen's words. She closed her beautiful eyes and leaned her head on Gucheng's shoulder. Not long after, Gucheng heard the soothing breathing sound from her nose. At this moment, she leaned on Gucheng, sleeping soundly like a defenseless baby.
Gu Cheng looked at Queen's beautiful sleeping face and revealed a gentle smile. He put his arms around Queen's shoulders and slightly adjusted his posture to make her sleep more comfortably.
Not long after, Queen opened her beautiful eyes again, yawned cutely, rubbed her eyes, and looked towards the ancient city.
"How long have I slept? Gucheng."
"About half an hour, how do you feel?"
"Yeah! I feel full of energy and all the fatigue has flown away. It turns out that hugging the ancient city is the best way to relieve fatigue." Queen stretched comfortably.
“Ancient city.”
"Ok?"
"Just wait a little longer, and you'll be successful soon."
"Ah."
Gu Cheng did not ask what Queen was planning or what was about to succeed. He believed in Queen.
After kissing Gu Cheng lightly, Queen stood up and walked out of the hot spring gracefully. Her black dress was tightly fitting her graceful figure. Water droplets dripped along her skirt and fell to the ground along her snow-white skin.
"Well, Gucheng, see you tomorrow." Queen chuckled again and disappeared into a pile of black and red rose petals.
"Let's go..."
Gu Cheng stood up from the hot spring and sighed softly. He had previously had a faint expectation that something would happen between him and Queen.
"Senior, I'm here. Ms. Fukamori asked me to bring you some wine and snacks. If you need my help to rub your back, I can help you..."
Xue Cai suddenly opened the door and walked in shyly in a bathrobe. She was bewitched by Fukamori and came here to get closer to Gu Cheng, but she saw Gu Cheng standing there naked, feeling lost.
“Senior! What are you doing!?”
"No, it's not Xuecai, please listen to my explanation!"】
088. Present Chapter. Resurrection of Aurora, War Breaks Out
chat room
The fourth true ancestor's supervisor: "=_=#"
BB: "Tsk tsk tsk, poor Xuecai, she's been cheated on by Queen again! Eh? Why did I add 'again'?"
Gudako: "When Queen first appeared, she sucked blood from Akatsuki Kojou in front of Setsuna. After that, Akatsuki Kojou also sucked Queen's blood in the events of Narakville, the Model Angel, and the Dark Oath. And every time it was in front of Setsuna. So if you count it this way, Setsuna has been cheated on by Queen countless times."
Traveler: "Why do I feel like Queen is targeting Setsuna on purpose? Otherwise, why is it that every time Akatsuki Kojo sucks her blood, it happens right in front of Setsuna?"
The Almighty: "Thinking about it carefully, it is true. @Cain's witch, come out and explain."
Cain's witch: "Don't think too much, these are just coincidences ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭."
The Fourth True Ancestor: "@Almighty, you are looking for Queen, why do you want to love Asagi?"
The Witch of the Void: "@Fourth True Ancestor, Akatsuki Kojou, I suggest you go see an ophthalmologist."
The Fourth True Ancestor: "...(⊙_⊙;)...But I really don't understand! You are looking for Queen, what does this have to do with Asagi?"
Ya Zong: "@Fourth True Ancestor, your behavior is just like a boyfriend standing in front of a girl, but she mistakes him for someone else. This is just as speechless."
Ice Sniper: "This is not a problem with the eyes, this is blindness!"
Grand Bomber: "@Fourth True Ancestor, I, Leif, would like to call you the Grand Blind!"
[The next day, a small altar similar to the Kagura Dance Hall was built in the center of Shinsawa Lake. It was a simple wooden altar made by connecting small boats together.
The siblings, Kojou and Nagisa, were woken up by their grandmother early in the morning, and were then helped by the shrine maidens of the Kamiota Shrine to wear the priest robes and shrine maiden costumes. Then Setsuna and Yuri, wearing shrine maiden costumes, took Kojou and Nagisa on a boat to the altar in the middle of the lake respectively.
"Is that ominous entity at the bottom of the lake the 'black shell' that grandma mentioned earlier?"
Gu Cheng's powerful perception easily detected that there was a black polyhedron similar to a spiral shell at the bottom of the lake. Its surface was like a black pearl, swaying irregularly like a mirage. It was a strange object with both biological and artificial features - it was unlike any substance on land.
"Yes, senior. According to Lady Hisano, the original duty of the Kamiota Shrine... is to guard and suppress the dormant disasters. Next, all we have to do is hold a ceremony to suppress the black shell." Setsuna behind Kojou answered.
"Ah."
Setsuna thought she had temporarily deceived Kojou, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She did not tell Kojou that the way to suppress the "Black Shell" was actually a living sacrifice, offering the pure priestess's soul rich in spiritual power to calm the Black Shell down. The sacrifice this time was the souls of King and Aurora in Kojou and Nagisa's bodies. The purpose of her, Kibashiro, Fukamori, Hisano and others doing all this was to save Kojou and Nagisa. This could be said to be their last chance.
The boat finally reached the altar. Gu Cheng and others walked up to the altar and stood in the designated positions. The ceremony was about to begin.
In a military camp hidden in a barrier on the shore of Lake Shinrope, three True Ancestors stood in front of the command desk in the command room, watching everything happening on Lake Shinrope through the huge display screen in front of them.
"The Black Shell is currently being activated. The pressure inside the shell has risen by 1.25% in 48 hours, and the magic power concentration on the surface is 774 times the baseline value - it has reached the danger zone."
"The latest news from various observation posts is that no abnormalities have been found within a radius of 100 kilometers."
"Tell them to step up surveillance and not let their guard down! Fangire will never sit still and wait for death. They will definitely take action to stop us." Qi Yi ordered.
He stared at the huge screen in front of him, observing every move of the ancient city on the altar.
"Will it be successful this time? And Akatsuki Kojou hasn't made any unusual movements until now. Is it true that he hasn't discovered anything?" Guy wondered in his heart.
For some reason, the calmer the ancient city was, the more uneasy Qi Yi felt, because in the ancient city's previous life, Cain was the kind of person who seemed calm on the surface but gave everyone a "surprise" at the last critical moment.
At this moment, just as the ceremony was about to begin, there was an unusual movement in the ancient city. He looked up at the sky, stretched out his right hand, and called out to his companions.
"Oh no! He's going to transform! Strengthen the barrier around Shensheng Lake immediately! Don't let Kivat break in!" Guy said in horror.
However, the black and red bats penetrated the layers of barriers like chopsticks through tofu and arrived in front of the ancient city.
Yagi, Fukamori, and Hisano, who were standing in front of the Shinota Shrine, also looked surprised after observing Kojou's actions.
"That brat Gucheng! What does he want to do?" Yacheng cursed.
on the altar
"Senior!" Yukina wanted to stop Gu Cheng.
"I'm sorry, Setsuna. I want to save Aurora, and my battle will come next." Gu Cheng looked at Setsuna apologetically.
"Hey, little brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Don't worry about anything else, just make a scene as you wish!"
"I bite!"
"henshin (transformation)!"
With the sound of chains breaking, Gucheng transformed into Dark Kiva and issued his orders to the world.
"Temporarily close the entire altar."
"Setsuna, Yuiri, don't stop me."
The next moment, the whole world was rewritten, the altar was isolated from the world, and Setsuna and Yuri standing aside felt that they could not move at all.
After making sure that no one else could stop his next action, Kojou turned and walked in front of Nagisa.
"Gu Chengjun, what's going on?"
Nagisa looked at Kojou's actions after he transformed into Dark Kiva with a look of surprise, she had no idea what was going on.
"Nagisa, I'm going to save you and another person who's very important to me next. Can you help me?"
"...Okay, I see. What does Kojou-kun need me to do?"
Although Nagisa didn't understand what was going on, out of trust in Kojou, she nodded and chose to help her brother.
"Thank you, Nagisa. Now all you have to do is close your eyes and relax your body."
"Okay, I understand." Nagisa acted according to Kojou's request.
"Next, it's up to me."
