As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Out of caution, Sharan did not answer immediately.

She felt the pulse and heartbeat of Jingu Mako, then the holy mark on her right hand flickered slightly, and she used [Where Are You Going] to sense the condition of Jingu Mako's soul, and finally showed Yuanhui a reassuring smile: "It's okay, she's asleep."

Yuanhui breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

He showed a slightly hesitant look, as if he wanted to take his mother from Sharan's arms, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he withdrew his hand.

"Then let her have a good rest."

Looking at Jingu Mako who was falling into a deep sleep, Yuanhui lowered his voice and spoke to Sharan.

……

……

With a moan, Jingu Mako woke up from her sleep.

She pressed her temples with a slight headache. Everything that happened during the day kept appearing in her mind like a kaleidoscope.

The great will that descended upon her, and the words that were spoken to Genki through her mouth, were still vividly remembered by Jingu Mako at this moment.

In other words, she is really Yuanhui's mother...

Unable to explain the feeling in her heart, Jingu Mako opened her eyes. Then, a pair of flexible fox ears came into view, accompanied by a clear and joyful sentence -

"Mama Mako, are you awake?"

…Should I sleep a little longer?

108. Finally Recognized

Mako Jingu is very familiar with Tamamonomae's mother's personality.

In a nutshell, that is -

Lack of moral integrity.

In front of the person she loves (specifically Yuanhui), this fox-eared beauty can do almost anything without batting an eyelid, just to please him.

Before she regained her memory, she was 'used' by this mother several times while still in a daze, just to gain some special favor from Yuanhui.

Thinking about it now, Jingu Mako felt blushing and her heart beating fast.

She finally understood why there was such a term as "foxie" in this world.

Like now.

It was obvious that last night, she was still the daughter and she was the mother; but when they met today, Tamamonomae called Mako "Mom" more fluently than anyone else, without any shyness or embarrassment at all.

No, why are you so skilled...

Mako Jingu couldn't help but want to hold her forehead.

"Mother Mako..."

Seeing that Tamamonomae was about to strike the snake with a stick, Jingu Mako quickly stretched out a hand and shouted, "Stop."

This was originally just an unintentional act on her part, but the words that came out of her mouth unexpectedly carried with them some incredible power.

The stone bowl in front of the Buddha, the jade branch of Penglai, the jade of the dragon head, the fire rat fur of Tang Dynasty, and the shell of Yan Zi'an.

After [Tsukuyomi] descended, it did not take away the five treasures in Jingu Mako's soul.

On the contrary, her arrival seemed to be the final step to complete these treasures.

These originally lifeless objects have been completely transformed into treasures that only exist in legends.

This is not a preference or gift from Tsukuyomi.

But it is the standard configuration of being a [Tsukuyomi] shrine maiden.

Just like Akinomiya Yui, the bride of [Shuzuka Daimyojin], can borrow his ability of [foresight], although she has not yet officially taken over the position of shrine maiden, Jingu Mako has also obtained some of the power of [Tsukuyomi].

And this part of the majesty that belongs to the gods was also aroused by her unintentional words.

Under the extremely surprised gaze of Jingu Mako, Tamamonomae's speech speed suddenly slowed down by who knows how many times.

No, it's not just the speaking speed.

It should be said that her expression changes and every move were slowed down.

Time only slowed down for her.

Tamamonomae obviously noticed this, and she swung the huge and fluffy tail behind her slightly, saving herself from this strange situation.

Her reaction was already very quick.

But even so, due to the intervention of subjective slow time, it still took her a breath.

"…This is [her] ability?"

Mako Jingu couldn't help but touch her throat.

It feels smooth and delicate, and it feels exactly the same as normal.

"Yeah." Tamamonomae nodded slightly, the playful look on her face gradually faded away, and she became extremely serious.

In her previous life, she had come into contact with the shrine maiden of Tsukuyomi, so she naturally knew a little about her methods.

Tamamonomae reached her jade hand into the wide sleeves of her kimono and took out something she had prepared long ago.

That is a bunch of rice ears.

These were obviously just picked, as the green color of the rice ears had not yet faded, indicating that they were not yet ripe.

"You should be able to do more than just slow down time."

Handing the inaho to Jingu Mako, Tamamonomae gestured for her to place it in her palm.

"You can also speed up the flow of time if you want."

"Why not try this bunch of rice ears as an example?"

Tamamonomae made an encouraging gesture, "You don't have to say it out loud. Just stare at it with your eyes and think about it in your mind."

She said so patiently.

Mako Jingu held the rice ears in her hands.

She stared at the plant that still had some greenness, and at the same time thought hard in her heart:

'Make its time pass faster!'

The moment this thought came into her mind, the golden color representing maturity instantly spread over the rice ears in her palm. In just a blink of an eye, the green appearance was covered with a layer of golden coat.

But then, the gray color representing desolation was dyed over the rice ears.

Right in front of Jingu Mako and Tamamonomae, the quickly ripened ear of rice turned into rotten ashes even faster.

"[She] has the ability to control the speed of time. To put it in a more understandable way, she can [slow down] or [fast forward] any existence."

"As [her] reserve priestess, you have obviously also obtained such authority."

"And in the dream space she created, this ability has obviously been enhanced and become even more powerful."

"However, all [she] can do is speed up or slow down the passage of time. She can't turn back time."

So far, Tsukuyomi has demonstrated two abilities.

The first is the ability to create a dream world.

This is also the reason why the space "Kaguya-sama's Dream" exists.

The second is the ability to manipulate the flow of time demonstrated by Mako Jingu.

Such rule-based abilities are covering a vast space.

Creating realistic dreamscapes that capture the human and the weird.

Then, she would use time acceleration to make them lost in this space, and finally cleanse them of the imprint of their personal will, turning them into playthings and puppets in her hands...

From the current perspective, this seems to be the pattern of action of [Tsukuyomi].

But whether it was Genki, Saran or Tamamonomae, they all knew very well that this pattern of action might not be complete.

【Tsukuyomi】 is a weird person who has an extraordinary obsession with 【three】.

It seems a bit strange that such a monster only has two abilities.

In addition to [Creating Dreams] and [Manipulating Time], [Tsukuyomi] should have another ability that she deliberately hides.

But even Makoto Jinmiya doesn't know what this ability is.

That unknown ability did not appear in her soul...

In fact, in addition to this unknown ability, there are other problems if you want to use the [Blood Field] to contain [Tsukuyomi].

The most important question is -

[Tsukuyomi], it’s too big.

In this [Kaguya-sama's Dream], her consciousness exists in almost everything, and this entire dream world is her shell.

Compared to when he had just obtained the [Blood Field], this ability had undoubtedly grown a lot, especially after it had purged the Konoe family and dragged them into destruction.

But even so, the scope of the [Blood Field] is still impossible to cover this dream world.

You know, but in terms of area, this world is almost the same as the real Sakurajima.

If there is no way to drag Tsukuyomi into the blood field, trying to restrain her is just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

However, it is still a little too far-fetched to consider these things now.

For Mako Jingu, there are more important things to do right now.

She didn't spend too much time practicing her abilities, since they weren't going to disappear anyway.

Mako Jingu's eyes were slightly wandering.

She did not look at Tamamonomae, as if she was afraid to spy on her expression and get an answer she didn't want.

"Xiaoyu."

Mako Jingu did not call out 'Mom Xiaoyu' as usual.

After learning the truth, the relationship between this family could no longer be restored to the way it was before.

"He didn't come to see me."

Both of them knew exactly who the 'he' that Jingu Mako was talking about was.

"Does this mean that he doesn't actually acknowledge me as his mother in his heart?"

That's right, apart from giving birth to him, have I fulfilled any obligations as a mother?

The answer is absolutely none.

On the contrary, she brought nothing but misfortune to Yuanhui.

If the identities were reversed, Mako Jingu might not have any good feelings towards such an irresponsible mother.

So what if she has her own difficulties?

It is the natural duty of parents to protect their children.

Even if she was powerless, it would not have any impact on the fact that her parents were disqualified.

But even so, Jingu Mako still longs to meet Genki.

Even if she was insulted by him, she still hoped to see his face and touch his body.

Before her memory was restored, this was clearly the happiness that was within her reach.

But now, it seems to be an unattainable dream...

Now, should I pretend that I didn't remember anything?

As long as I continue to be his daughter, I can continue to enjoy this family love.

After all, is there really any essential difference between the love between father and daughter and the love between mother and son?

Just as Mako Jingu's thoughts were reaching extremes, a gentle tingling sensation attacked her smooth forehead.

Tamamonomae hit Jingu Mako on the head with her finger.
