After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

"Please don't do it."

"You and I start a fight here. In the end, it is the shrine that gains, and it is Lord Optics Valley who suffers."

These four words, Lady Optics Valley, completely revealed her identity.

It was the shrine maiden who was carefully selected by Ayazuka Shisei and finally became accommodating to Kotani Hayabusa.

A warrior who is willing to die for him.

Seeing that his attack was easily resolved by the opponent, Yabongi also knew that no matter how blindly he attacked now, he would not be able to gain an advantage.

So, he put down his gun.

Although the atmosphere had relaxed slightly, Yabongi's tone of voice still contained strong hostility.

"who are you?"

"Why do you want to help Mr. Guanggu?"

The witch said softly: "The mask on my face is for Wanmei to face."

"You can call me by the name of the mask."

Wan Mei?

Yappongi hardly pays attention to Japanese traditional culture on weekdays, and knows very little about Noh.

All she knew was that the masked witch in front of her exuded a very powerful aura.

Yabongi narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.

"Then why did you appear here, and why did you choose to help Mr. Guang Gu?"

Wanmei Miko smiled coldly.

Although, she didn't need to explain anything to Yabongi.

However, Yappongi has followed Mitsutani Hayabusa for a while and is also his most loyal pet.

Don't look at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha.

Wanmei Miko still chose to explain it to her.

"Some special circumstances have occurred here at the shrine."

"The seal of the Gate of Underworld was destroyed, and five shadows escaped."

"We are here just to drive the shadows out of the shrine."

"As for why I appear here...it's very simple, to save Lord Optics Valley."

"The presence of a shadow at the shrine means it is no longer safe here."

"As Lord Optics Valley's most loyal guardians, we are naturally obliged to protect his safety."

"My companions are now searching for Lord Mitsuya throughout the entire shrine to protect his safety. And I happen to be in charge of the underground prison."

The moment he saw the shadow, Yabongi actually had several guesses that were more in line with the current situation.

The seal was broken, naturally it was one of them.

However, what she didn't understand was, what did it mean to drive the shadow out of the shrine?

Yabongi frowned: "What does it mean to be kicked out of a shrine?"

"Are you planning to drive the shadows into Jixiang Village?"

"You know, there are still people alive in Jixiang Village!"

"Drive those shadows into Jixiang Village. Do you want us to become the shadows' food?"

Wanmei Miko sighed.

"Indeed."

"This is the meaning of the shrine, and it is also the meaning of Ise Jingu."

"But this is not what all the shrine maidens think. In fact, there are many people who are opposed to this idea."

"Most of them are from our conformist faction."

"That's why I said, now is not the time for internal fighting."

"You are Lord Guanggu's companion, and I am Lord Guanggu's guard."

"What we should do now is to find Master Guanggu and protect his safety."

"Because only he can clear away these shadows and protect the safety of everyone, including you."

Yappongi was silent.

She felt angry as never before at the shrine's indifference to other people's lives.

Yes, she was also a bully and a bad guy who persecuted others.

But compared to the indifference and ruthlessness of the shrine, the evil things she did were as pure as a virgin.

The gun in his hand was shaking.

Ha ha ha.

The shrine is so fucking great!

How to divert trouble to the east, drive those powerful shadows to Jixiang Village, and then use us as bait!

very good!

This beam is completely finished!

Chapter 3 Ninety The Desperate Gap

"The last question." Yabongi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Will you go to war against the shrine for Mitsutani-kun?"

Wanmei Miko's answer was without any hesitation.

"Although we are shrine maidens, the master we should really serve is the blood heir of the Mitsuya family."

"That is Master Guanggu."

"This is not only our respect for the Mitsuya family, but also the program that the shrine has always taught us."

"From the beginning, there was no such thing as loyalty to the shrine."

"Today, the shrine, under the leadership of Ise Shrine, has completely overthrown this loyalty that has been passed down to this day. It is also a betrayal of all the sacrifices we have made so far."

"So, rather than saying that we go back to the shrine to start a war, it would be better to say that we just put the decayed shrine back on track."

"For the shrine, clean up those harmful people."

standard answer.

But that doesn't mean Yabongi truly trusts her.

Rather, Yappongi rarely trusts others.

If it hadn't been for Optics Valley Hayabusa to forcefully pry open her body, she would probably still be hostile to Optics Valley Falcon now.

Now that Mitsutani Hayabusa is no longer in the underground dungeon, Yappongi is in urgent need of a guide who knows the structure of the shrine.

In this case, it is better to join forces with this miko for the time being.

At least now, the opponent still doesn't show hostility even though he has the ability to fight.

"In this case, I will reluctantly cooperate with you."

Yabongi raised his gun and said in a very firm tone: "However, I will never let what the shrine does."

"You want to drive Shadow out of the shrine and use us as cannon fodder?"

"What a joke!"

Wanmei Witch chuckled and said, "In this regard, our position is the same as yours."

"Also, in the corridor just now, I saw some particles after the shadow dissipated."

"It seems that you outsiders do, as Ayazuka Shio said, have the ability to kill shadows."

"I believe that this power must come from Master Guanggu."

"And this power also makes us more convinced that only under the leadership of Lord Mitsuya, the shrine can truly allow all of us shrine maidens to embrace a happy life."

This is the end.

Yabongi and Wanmei Miko have officially reached a cooperative relationship.

------

in the hallway.

Rapid footsteps, accompanied by heavy breathing, came from around the corner.

Immediately afterwards, Konohana Saku, in tattered clothes, rushed out.

A few seconds later, a shadow that looked like mud followed closely, chasing behind at an alarming speed.

Less than half an hour after entering the shrine, the shrine maidens Takamagahara found a wandering shadow on the tenth floor.

Immediately afterwards, Kishimahime ordered her to go to the tenth floor and attract the shadow outside the shrine.

She originally thought that the shrine maidens would help her take some of the pressure off, but she didn't expect that they were not going to help at all.

Even when Konohana Saku learned the news and was on his way to the tenth floor, even if he moved a little slowly, he would be forcibly driven away by them with weapons.

The dignified miko of Takamagahara was chased away like a pheasant and a wild duck!

Not a shred of respect.

There is no way, she is already a dead person in the eyes of the shrine maiden.

There is no etiquette or respect for treating a dead person.

After being driven to the tenth floor, Shadow discovered Konohana Saku in less than a minute.

At a speed that almost exceeded the physical limit, he rushed towards Konohana Saku.

The speed is so fast that it far exceeds the range that the naked eye can capture.

Fortunately, as a miko of Takamagahara, Konohana Saku's basic abilities are still online and her intuition is extremely sharp.

The moment Shadow launched the attack, he completed his dodge and began to run away.

Konohana Saku ran all the way in front, with Shadow chasing after her. The rest of the miko hid in the corner, observing the whole process with expressionless faces, and no one came to help.

"Ha ha!"

"Damn!!!"

"Why so fast!!!"

“I can’t get rid of it at all!!!”

Konohana Saku was sweating profusely, and his face was filled with overwhelming despair.

Every cell in her body was roaring, and she was moving two to three times faster than an ordinary Nōmian miko.

But even so, they still couldn't distance themselves.

From time to time, the shadow would condense the mud-like body into a solid body, turning into needles and piercing Konohana Saku's vitals.

At the beginning, when his physical strength was strong, Konohana Saku could still dodge attacks dexterously. However, as his physical energy was consumed more and more, his speed became slower and slower, and dodge became incapable of him.

His clothes were torn and messy, and his body was covered with small wounds.

It was obvious that it was only a matter of time before he was caught up.

This is the first time Konohana Saku directly confronts Shadow.

Before that, her understanding of shadow was limited to what her teacher once taught in class.

It is extremely fast and can change its shape and pass through obstacles at will.

No attack method can cause damage to it.

The protection on the body has a defensive effect to a certain extent, but the effect is not ideal.

After an encounter with a shadow, the only way to deal with it is to run away.
