Female Swordsman Training Dojo

The large golden fox with some black spots on its fur muttered to itself, but its joyful mood was undeniable. Compared to the still-proud golden fox, Hirako and the others were much more straightforward about their feelings.

I want to sleep with a teacher.

I've been thinking about this since Harunobu said it was to help them get revenge, but now I'm even more determined. Without the influence of the corrupting power, Harunobu's Shikai has already transferred all the corrupting power away from them.

This is the real deal, a genuine thought from the bottom of my heart.

As for rejecting Harunobu? What kind of idiot would have such a stupid idea?

and many more……

Hirako and the others looked at the shrine maiden who seemed to be a deity and was quite at odds with the power of corruption.

Although she had just saved the teachers' college and had helped them before, at this moment... tsk, couldn't she move yet? They were still too weak; they needed to be stronger.

It's strong enough that teachers' colleges no longer need to be so arrogant.

A strong resolve shone in the eyes of the Aozorakan disciples, and even the lazy Hanazawa Nana exuded an aura of determination.

Meanwhile, Harunobu had already crushed Yakumo Kurenai's heart.

The author says:

Author's Note: Two chapters totaling 5600 words, which is roughly equivalent to a mini-trilogy, and I successfully avoided any gaps in the chapter count (?。＿。｀), so please vote! Also, here's a funny blind date story: My mom wants me to confess my feelings to someone I haven't contacted for days, saying they might not know I'm pursuing them...?

Chapter 346: Is it over?

After Harunobu's intervention, the imaginative Yakumo Kurenai finally completed the fifteen-part division with a broad mind and happily drifted into a restless sleep.

Suppressing the urge to devour the delicious food before him, Harunobu swallowed the drool that was constantly welling up in his mouth and turned to look at the astonished shrine maiden: "Uh, shrine maiden? Or perhaps Ame-no-Tsurugi no Mikoto? Do you have a way to break this barrier?"

Although Yakumo Kurenai is dead, the barrier doesn't seem to have stopped. After all, unlike magic circles or spells, a barrier can operate almost indefinitely as long as it's activated, without destroying the core protective object or severing the connection between the object and the barrier.

—After all, with two magic experts in the family, Tachibana Yuzu and Tsuchimikado Haru, Harunobu still knew this basic common sense.

But all he could see was desolation, and there was no sign of any protective barrier... Could this entire land be the barrier? Even so, destroying such a large area would be incredibly difficult for him. Besides, Yakumo Hong was right; normal human society probably wouldn't accept her in her current state. He needed to get his wives out of there before outsiders arrived.

Anyway, rounding up, he saved the Emperor and his daughter this time, so he shouldn't be wanted again, right?

The dark mist churned in Qingxin's eyes, gradually swaying his thoughts and causing him to completely ignore the fiery red tail tip that was constantly trembling.

He felt better than ever before, and while he was thinking, he was also able to keep a vigilant eye on his surroundings, such as the shrine maiden in front of him. Her hands, hidden behind her back, were forming hand seals, while her hands in front of her were clenching the talisman tightly. The mist surrounding her was churning, a sign of being repelled.

She's about to launch an attack.

Harunobu subconsciously made a judgment, his body tensing up instinctively. His skewed mind gave him an accurate assessment: "So you really can't tolerate the power of filth, can't tolerate the god of calamity; that's to be expected, isn't it? She's not your woman, just a simple transaction partner."

"So, before she finishes casting the spell, quickly make your move—dodge!"

A golden torrent surged forth, precisely grazing Harunobu's body and slamming into the air, turning the translucent spirit into a pure gold color. But this beautiful, radiant scene was accompanied by a shrill scream; Yakumo Kurenai's soul roared in fury and charged towards Harunobu's tail.

As long as, as long as we get there—

She would seize the place where her former self once belonged, enter Harunobu's body, and use the power of filth to be reborn again, or even completely take over Harunobu's current body! In any case, Harunobu was just a human, and in terms of compatibility with the Sesshō-ko, he was definitely no match for her, the former fire demon!

However, no matter how well Yakumo Kurenai planned, the golden torrent seemed inexhaustible, continuously washing over her spirit, making it impossible for her to get close to Harunobu.

She couldn't understand why Tengen no Mikoto trusted Hirahara no Shin so much! Hirahara no Mikoto was even more corrupted than she was, and there was even a layer of danger of him being controlled by the Killing Fox! Why would Tengen no Mikoto trust her so much? She had even managed to provoke Shin's distrust and murderous intent towards her!

Why!

She doesn't agree!

But there was no point in arguing; Qingxin had already turned around, opening his gaping maw. Enveloped in the power of filth, even pure physical attacks could now harm the spirit.

Then, the gaping maw closed.

Yakumo Kurenai once again succumbed to Harunobu's charms.

The golden torrent dissipated, and the pale-faced priestess, who looked like an unpainted porcelain doll, swayed slightly before struggling to regain her footing.

"Qingxin, this time we're really even."

With Yakumo Kurenai's soul still lingering in his mouth, Harunobu could only nod, pretending to understand the priestess's holy cut. If it weren't for the "worry" mark above her head, Harunobu could have acted more convincingly. But it would probably only last for that one sentence.

As expected, the shrine maiden casually inquired about Harunobu's next words: "By the way, where did you stick that knife? Hurry up and change it back."

Qingxin shook his head; he didn't want to revert to his original form. The feeling was simply too good. Power surged continuously from his body, growing stronger every second. He could clearly feel his body becoming more resilient, his mind clearer, and even his thinking more agile.

Moreover, there were no side effects; the noisy sounds had already dissipated under his powerful spiritual pressure, and the remnants of the Demon Sword: Sesshomaru

Chapter 372

Even his senses had long since retreated into their shells, completely daring not to tempt him.

In this situation, Harunobu couldn't understand why he wanted to change back.

Besides, the barrier hasn't been broken yet. What if more enemies come later? It's like the battle background music in a game hasn't stopped yet, so you definitely can't take your hands off the keyboard.

That's right, he thinks he's fine as he is now, and it matches Shiranui Ran's appearance quite well.

Harunobu's refusal made the priestess's heart sink. Although she didn't know why Harunobu could maintain his senses under such a high concentration of corruption, it was clear that he wasn't completely unaffected. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have refused to turn back into a human, let alone relentlessly devour the corrupting power like this.

But how can I persuade him...?

Or should we break this barrier first? The Yellow Springs are the top priority.

The priestess took a deep breath, and a golden stream of light surged from her cracked body once again, though it was noticeably less bright and less intense than before.

She sighed wearily and regretfully, and said to Haruka, "Open your mouth, I will purify Yakumo Hong's soul. I suspect that the object that suppresses this barrier is herself."

After all, the explosion destroyed the entire venue, so it was impossible for any protective artifacts to remain. And the Yellow Springs couldn't possibly become a protective artifact either; putting aside other issues, the power of this barrier was simply not worthy of using the Yellow Springs as a protective artifact.

Therefore, the only possibility is that it's Yakumo Kurenai.

The priestess sighed again, raised her finger, and pointed at Harunobu's obediently open mouth. A golden torrent shot out, slamming into Yakumo Kurenai's soul. A shrill scream followed, and the once solid soul gradually began to become transparent until it completely vanished into nothingness.

The shrine maiden lowered her hand, took two deep breaths, and then patted Harunobu's head: "Why don't you change back? You can't even get into my shrine like this."

Harunobu was indeed somewhat tempted by the idea, but his quick thinking quickly led him to reject it: "No way, after all, I probably can't stay in Tokyo any longer in this state."

Then you can just change back!

The shrine maiden wanted to shout it out, but she knew Harunobu was currently in a trance-like state and couldn't provoke him. She needed to think carefully, to think carefully about what could make Harunobu feel that the frail human body was better than his current powerful one…

Before the priestess could come up with a good idea, a sound of something breaking suddenly came from all around.

The shrine maiden and Harunobu looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that the "large bowl" that had been upside down had suddenly cracked in several places. As their gaze fell upon it, the bowl seemed unable to bear the pressure and shattered completely.

Yakumo Kurenai's blood-soaked head suddenly flew off, revealing her remaining, or rather, her true soul beneath. Before Harunobu and the shrine maiden could even react, that petite soul had already transformed into a giant, jet-black fox several sizes larger than Harunobu.

At the same time, the noisy sounds, like a market at seven in the morning, echoed in Harunobu's mind again; along with them, a roar mixed with anger, sadness, loneliness, despair, and other emotions resounded—"Izanagi!"

Harunobu didn't know how he could glean so much emotion from the roar, but he just had that feeling, almost as if he were experiencing it himself. He even began to feel a sense of kinship and sympathy for the angry voice, thinking how cruel it was for someone to abandon such a beautiful and kind person; he absolutely couldn't—

Chapter 347: Methods to Hide Fatal Weaknesses

"roll!!!"

Harunobu snapped back to reality, his kindness and sympathy vanishing, replaced by extreme anger. He'd only just finished exhaling his current spiritual pressure, and someone had almost bewitched him? Damn it, he'd really been looked down upon!

The black fox with a reddish tail bristled and pounced on the jet-black spirit fox, ready to vent its rage. It didn't care what its opponent was; right now, it was invincible!

However, Yakumo Kurenai did not seem to intend to seek revenge. The moment her body solidified, she rushed towards the deep pit where the Emperor and his daughter were. Of course, Harunobu could not let him just kill her like that.

The Emperor doesn't matter, but Shiranui Lan is still in the pit!

He roared and charged forward, slamming directly into Yakumo Kurenai's side! Because Harunobu was instinctively absorbing the corrupting energy, his size had increased again, exceeding five meters in length, and his strength had naturally grown even greater. Therefore, this impact sent Yakumo Kurenai staggering, crashing into the deep pit!

Inside the deep pit, the Emperor and his daughter regained their mobility due to the shattering of the barrier and were preparing to retreat and escape when Yakumo Kurenai descended from the sky and blocked their way.

Shiranui Ran rushed over quickly, her golden fur glowing with fire, and immediately unleashed her strongest technique: Ninja Art: Amaterasu!

The ever-burning flames took shape in front of Yakumo Kurenai in the blink of an eye, and were about to spread, but the black mist swept over them and the flames were extinguished instantly, without even a wisp of smoke rising.

The power of filth is the perfect counter to magic!

The only bodyguard's most prized move was easily countered—witnessing this scene, Emperor Taisho and Princess Misuru couldn't help but feel despair. Their bodyguards were certainly not limited to Ran Shiranui, but apart from Ran Shiranui, who had transformed into the Killing Fox in time and was close enough to Harunobu, the rest perished in that unprecedented explosion.

But the next second, their hope suddenly rekindled.

Another giant fox descended from the sky, crushing Yakumo Kurenai, who was roaring and charging towards it.

Having witnessed Harunobu's transformation firsthand, the Emperor and Misuru-hime naturally recognized him by his fiery red tail tip. Although they were puzzled by his dark appearance, at this moment they preferred to believe that Harunobu was on their side.

And that seems to be the case.

Harunobu, who had pounced on Yakumo Kurenai, bit down on her neck, his sharp teeth tearing open her throat once more. This time, however, only black mist spewed out, without any blood. Moreover, Yakumo Kurenai was no longer helpless this time. She swiftly extended her tail and grabbed Harunobu's exposed, enormous genitals, which matched his size.

Then pull hard!

In excruciating pain, Harunobu instinctively turned around and bit its tail. Taking advantage of the opening, Yakumo Kurenai immediately lunged at Harunobu's neck. Her equally sharp teeth blocked the attack at first, but then she tasted the delicious flesh and blood.

A refreshing, delicious, and even more intense pleasure than absorbing the power of filth instantly spread from Yakumo Kurenai's taste buds throughout her entire body. Her already tense body suddenly burst forth with even greater strength, pushing Harunobu to the ground.

In the reversal, Yakumo Kurenai's tail loosened its grip to avoid Harunobu's bite, but her limbs were already deeply embedded in Harunobu's flesh.

The two giant foxes embraced each other, even in a somewhat ambiguous manner, but what followed was not kissing and caressing, but rather rough and frantic biting and tearing.

Harunobu, who was not used to fighting in a fox's body, was at a disadvantage. Especially as Yakumo Kurenai discovered his huge, fatal weakness, he was increasingly caught off guard and his body was bitten and torn, leaving more and more wounds.

Fortunately, with the help of the increasing amount of corrupting power he absorbed, the enraged Seishin came up with a good way to avoid the problem—since being exposed would lead to attacks, he could find a way to hide it!

During another attack from Yakumo Red, combining biting and tearing, he suddenly abandoned dodging and instead thrust his lower body forward. The exposed handle dodged Yakumo Red's insidious tail sneak attack, causing Yakumo Red to warily block his hind legs.

However, Harunobu did not attempt to grab Yakumo Kurenai's tail with his hind legs, but instead thrust his lower body forward again.

The next moment, Yakumo Kurenai felt the pain of being pierced by the spear!

Hidden beneath thick fur and magic, Yakumo Kurenai's fatal weakness was completely exploited by Harunobu.

Chapter 373

With the spear thrust in, Harunobu no longer needed to worry about his weak points being attacked. In fact, due to the sudden attack, Yakumo Kurenai's movements were completely distorted, and her bites even missed their mark.

Without the slightest hesitation, Harunobu bit back.

Yakumo Kurenai quickly adapted to the pain and bit back fiercely.

However, Harunobu's lower body moved instinctively, and the strange feeling made Yakumo Kurenai's movements veer off course again, and Harunobu once again bit back first.

The two foxes, maintaining this bizarre posture, began the most cruel, brutal, and effective fight to the death.

……

On the other side, although Harunobu didn't care about Yakumo Kurenai's condition, the shrine maiden couldn't ignore it. Having exhausted all her magical power, she was now unable to assist Harunobu and could only use her brain to think about the situation.

Actually, there's no need to think too much about it, because it's just too obvious.

Yakumo Kurenai used most of her spiritual essence as bait to deceive the heavily injured Yakumo Kurenai and Harunobu, who was not very knowledgeable about magic to begin with. She herself used her status as a protective object, along with Izanami's help, to reshape her body using the power of impurity... Now she is more like an avatar of Izanami than Yakumo Kurenai.

But this also means she will be even more difficult to deal with, especially now that the most powerful fighter, Hiraharunobu, has been corrupted by the power of corruption. He can ignore Yakumo Kurenai's orders, but that doesn't mean he can ignore Izanami's orders as the source of the corruption... even if he unleashes the power of that strange sword.

Damn it, if I'd known the divination revealed such corrupting power, I should have gone to great lengths to kill that fox. Damn it, if we were at the shrine…

The shrine maiden bit her lip, fumbling with her clothes, but found only talismans and useless magical artifacts. And... a simple talisman.

To be honest, after witnessing Harunobu complete his Shikai, she already had an idea of ​​how to activate Asauchi, but now was not the time to experiment; even if she wanted to take a gamble, she had no magical power and no capital to do so. The "ancient god" who left the shrine was nothing more than an ordinary ghost.

She is now powerless to do anything.

Her hands fell limply to her sides, and the shrine maiden once again felt the agonizing helplessness she had thought would never return. Just then, a voice sounded beside her: "Shrine Maiden, is there anything we can do to help the teacher?"

With the collapse of the barrier, Hirako and the others finally regained their mobility. Their first instinct was naturally to help Harunobu, but it was clearly a battle they couldn't get involved in, so they went to the shrine maiden.

The shrine maiden's eyes lit up, but she quickly regained her composure: "We have to find a way to turn Harunobu back to normal. He's too dangerous in his current state; he could be controlled by the enemy at any moment."

Hirako nodded, then asked, "But now that the teacher's college has returned to normal, who should deal with that youkai named Yakumo Kurenai?"

"Without that barrier, Yomi can no longer manifest in the mortal world. And Yakumo Kurenai, whose soul has been completely corrupted, can no longer leave Yomi. She will either disappear with Yomi or be completely destroyed after Yomi disappears."

Hojo Amu interjected, "So, we're going to awaken the Master, and then drag him down to the underworld while he struggles, right?"

“That’s right, and it is indeed very dangerous. You could die, but I don’t think you’re the kind of people who would forget kindness.” The priestess looked at the women exuding murderous intent before her and laughed.

“It’s hard to say if it’s for someone else, but for the sake of the teacher training school…” Hirako drew Haruyuki from her waist, “Death is nothing to worry about.”

"Oh! Sachiko-nee said something really cool!" Yuri Hashimizu teased, nudging Maya Sanada twice with her elbow. "Maya, why aren't you saying anything now?"

“Uh, because…” Sanada Maya scratched her head and pointed to the side, “It seems like we don’t need it anymore.”

"what?"

A group of people looked to the side, following Sanada Maya's finger.
