Chapter 459: Queen of Saucy Talk, Iwanaga Kotoko! Cave Monster!
Iwanaga Kotoko was not startled by Ren’s sudden appearance. The screams from behind had already begun, this ti a chorus of three.
"Ah!"
"Ghost!!!"
Natsumi, Komari, and Hotaru clung tightly to Renge. Only she had bright, curious eyes, looking at him. She tilted her head. "Alien?"
Ren smiled and waved.
"The alien is saying hello! Nyanpasu!" Renge happily greeted him.
"You... why are you here?" Kotoko had a deep impression of his face. The power that had effortlessly eliminated a Curse Spirit had always baffled her. In the vast Yokai world, not a single one knew of their existence.
"I found sothing fun here, so I ca over."
Fun? What was fun for him might be a disaster for her. "What is it? A Curse Spirit?" she guessed.
"A Curse Spirit? Heh, perhaps a Curse Spirit is just small fry in front of it," he sneered. Even Ryon Sukuna wouldn’t interest him. In his eyes, such trash was like a speck of dust.
"In short, it’s sothing you can’t solve and might cost you your life." After warning her, he took a step towards the cave. The vines covering it quickly moved to the sides, as if making way.
Kotoko was willing to believe him. If he hadn’t been there last ti, she might have been dead. However, even under a life-and-death warning, she still followed, leaning on her staff.
??? Outside the cave, only Natsumi and the others remained.
"Gulp!" Natsumi swallowed. "You... saw that, right? The person who suddenly appeared, and the vines that moved."
"Mm-hmm! I saw it! They must be ghosts..." Komari’s legs were so weak she could barely stand.
"Psychics! They are Psychics!" Natsumi shouted excitedly, her voice trembling not out of fear, but excitent.
"Psychics? Are they powerful?" Renge was full of curiosity.
"Of course! They can casually release fireballs!" Natsumi waved her hands, throwing two imaginary fireballs. This made Renge’s eyes sparkle. "So amazing! Then they can probably roast sweet potatoes with their hands."
...Psychics and roasting sweet potatoes. Hotaru really wanted to complain. But the most urgent matter now was to leave. Komari’s eyes were already spinning.
She was about to leave when she found her forehead hit sothing. She reached out to touch it. An invisible wall. Hotaru finally confird it. "Um... it seems we can’t go back."
"What do you an?" Komari looked at her with teary eyes.
"The air has an invisible wall. We are trapped." The one who had trapped them was Ren.
"I told you there was danger, and you still ca in? You’re bold," Ren, walking calmly into the dark cave, teased Kotoko, who was following him.
She seed to have a naturally familiar personality. "Ren-kun, you seem to have so misunderstanding about . Actually, I’m not just bold."
Ren’s reaction was different. Would her next sentence be sothing like ’my treasure is also very big’?
Thankfully, she had no follow-up. However, no matter how old she got, it couldn’t hide her underdeveloped, loli-like body. "Heh, her hair probably hasn’t even grown in yet," he chuckled.
"No, my hair is very luxuriant," she said with such seriousness.
"..." Alright, she’s not friendly. She’s a social phobic who speaks like a tiger.
"Stopped?" Just as Kotoko was about to retort, she noticed him stop.
"Since I found the thing, there’s no need to keep walking." The fun thing was right before their eyes.
Light. With his thought, the cave was filled with light.
Kotoko saw the crying... person? Or monster? It was facing the wall, its back to them, crying with its head buried between its knees.
"Wuwuwuwu..."
The sobbing sound was undoubtedly what they had heard outside.
