Feeling the danger, Fujishima Kanami instinctively tensed up.
Suddenly, the demon from the Ghost Clan opened its mouth wide, a yellow light orb flew into the sky and turned into light dust, falling on the surface of the barrier.
"Get down!" Fujiwara Kaori shouted.
Including the monk, everyone hurriedly fell to the ground. In an instant, a powerful demonic power exploded above the barrier, the air currents scattering in all directions from the sky to the ground.
Hoshimi Rinko’s face changed, instantly shielding Kasahara Asuka.
"Kotodama, Barrier!"
At the mont the barrier rose, Hoshimi Rinko noticed Fujiwara Reya moving from the corner of her eye. But faster than him was the woman in the rubber suit.
Flas shot up into the sky.
A strong wave swept over.
The earth shook, with a trendous crashing sound, erupting heat, and wild winds, Kasahara Asuka was briefly stunned. Her mind was hazy, her ears buzzing as she desperately tried to assess the current battle situation... Are senpai and my senior alright? How can we defeat this suddenly appearing strong Ghost Clan mber?
While she was seriously gathering her thoughts, it was as if soone suddenly called her na.
"Asuka..."
The voice was so familiar, like her sister’s, then her senior’s and senpai’s voices also reached her ears. Kasahara Asuka shakily looked up.
A pair of hands held her tightly.
The owner of the hands murmured with relief: "I’m glad you’re okay..."
The fear and tension of the mont were suddenly released, Kasahara Asuka let out a long breath.
This embrace was so warm, warming even her heart... It was bright and colorful, emotions that made the heart race were churning. She knew her own immaturity, wilfulness, and that she was not yet spiritually mature, but she couldn’t change that quickly. She hoped to enjoy a little more ti under her sister’s protection...
A mont later.
The woman in the rubber suit disappeared into the dust amidst the chaos created by the explosion.
The pillar of fire shot skyward, dispersing the heavy clouds.
"How’s it looking?"
"Should be alright..."
"Most barriers are strongest on the outside, it shouldn’t break that easily."
"...Barrier, barrier——"
Regaining her senses from the explosion, Fujishima Kanami looked sullen and serious.
The other girls from the Capital City were left speechless.
The barrier had been broken.
And the ones who broke it were... the Ghost Clan!
The current situation was that the Ghost Clan and Fox Clan had joined forces to invade the Onmyo-ryo temple!
This was explosive news, and the blood drained from Fujishima Kanami’s face as she pressed her lips tightly together, staring deathly at the Ghost Clan mber in the mirror. He laughed hideously, mocking everyone in the air as if there were no one around.
"Get up!" Fujishima Kanami yelled angrily.
But the other girls from the Capital City were already huddled in fright.
Even the monks in the temple had lost the courage to fight any longer.
In a desperate situation, Fujishima Kanami turned her gaze to Fujiwara Reya, who had been slacking the whole ti.
He was the strongest here, if he had no solution... thinking of that consequence, Fujishima Kanami felt a mixture of emotions.
In the sky, the Ghost Clan mber glared with blood-red eyes, hissing with its teeth, mockingly leaping about.
"I’ll go!" Kasahara Asuka stepped forward.
"Stay still." Fujiwara Reya raised his hand and knocked her on the head.
This ti, he used so force, causing the junior to yelp and squat down, clutching her head and shouting in pain.
Fujiwara Reya glanced at the girls from the Capital City and the monk, confirming that they were unhard, then asked Hoshimi Rinko, "Does senpai have any confidence?"
"No!" Hoshimi Rinko answered frankly, "If I were at the general level and learned the Thunder Curse, maybe I’d have a fifty percent chance to take him down, but not now."
"Want to give it a try?" Fujiwara Reya tilted his head, looking at her.
Her long black hair and tied ribbons fluttered in the firelight, her clear face also tinted red by the flas.
"Sure!"
Hoshimi Rinko took a deep breath, forming seals with her hands.
"Divine Command Descend, Quickly as Decree!"
In Fujiwara Reya’s sight, a powerful divine power erupted, blue specks forming a divine power vortex centered on senpai’s petite and graceful form. Her long black hair, caught in the air currents, defied gravity and floated upwards.
The divine power that penetrated the earth turned into flas, triggering an intense combustion reaction, and blasted towards the Ghost Clan mber in the air.
The strong Ghost Clan mber opened his mouth wide and swallowed the flas.
"Burp~"
He let out a satisfied burp.
His mouth slightly opened, exhaling a puff of black smoke.
"Can’t beat him, let’s go." Hoshimi Rinko clapped her hands, calmly turning to leave.
No embarrassnt there.
If she said she couldn’t beat him, then she really couldn’t. That’s just how straightforward she was: except when it ca to feelings.
"Let’s head back too." Fujiwara Reya grabbed Kasahara Asuka and followed senpai ho.
"Hey hey hey..." Fujishima Kanami panicked, her face turning pale with fright, "How can you all just leave, what about us, wait, take us with you..."
"Idiot!" Hoshimi Rinko coldly rebuked.
Fujishima Kanami’s face froze.
At that mont, she realized that the fox demons surrounding the temple had withdrawn. And the Ghost Clan mber taunting in the sky seed to be just putting on a show, without intending to escalate things...
Understanding this, Fujishima Kanami’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Looking around, confirming that this bizarre chaos was truly over for the night, she instinctively puffed out her cheeks and mumbled quietly: "Kanto people are really so rude..."
※※※※※
"Senpai senpai!"
"Hmm?"
"Was that my sister just now?"
"How did you know?"
"Because I saw senpai didn’t even have the heart to hit harder, I knew for sure you knew it was my sister." Kasahara Asuka tilted her head, looking at senpai’s face, smiling serenely, "Just admit it senpai, you like my sister, Asuka won’t bla you."
The black clouds had sohow scattered, the street bathed in moonlight.
The junior basked in the moonlight, maintaining a serene smile, like a Bodhisattva who embraces all things, and also like an innocent, simple girl. But if Fujiwara Reya answered "yes," she’d turn into a banshee from hell the next second and scratch his face with her nails.
"You stay out of this, and also..." Fujiwara Reya flicked her forehead with his finger, "Your performance tonight was terrible, you’ll have to double your training intensity from now on!"
"Huh?"
The junior’s smile froze on her face.
"Serves you right!" Hoshimi Rinko said gloatingly.
"...Loser!" Kasahara Asuka retorted, then her eyes twinkled with a bold idea in her mind: sneaking into senpai’s bed tonight, with senpai listening from the next room!
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, moonlight quietly falling on the three.
The shopfronts on the street were long closed, cold and deserted, the people who escaped from the temple fair returning to their hos to hide.
When the sun rose the next day, this peaceful and quiet town would fall into unprecedented chaos, the Onmyo-ryo and Nine Sections colleagues would be busy... Fujiwara Reya thought sowhat schadenfreudely.
Oh.
Right.
And there’s Fukaeri, that detestable woman!
Treachery, colluding with the fox demons, and leading out the Ghost Clan... daring to create such chaos without informing the Mountain God, utterly lawless! She must be severely punished to let her know how serious the consequences are when the Mountain God is displeased!
