Chapter 779: Evil White Sakura Goddess
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Chiaki had learned the truth of everything from her mother.
When Chihiro Wakaba had gotten pregnant, she learned that she would die after giving birth to her daughter.
Chihiro beca afraid of this happening… not because of her own impending death, but rather because she was afraid of not being able to accompany her husband Shingo in seeing their daughter grow up together.
That was why Chihiro prayed to her goddess, asking to be able to live just a little longer, long enough to at least raise her daughter for a while.
Since Chihiro was descended from a bloodline that had the White Sakura Goddess’s favor, her prayer was answered and her wish was granted.
The price for lengthening her life was her disappearing from existence.
As a mother, Chihiro made a request that defied her fate, hence the heavy price of being forgotten by almost everyone, including the daughter she loved so much.
Chihiro’s husband Shingo was the only person who still rembered her due to their deep connection. However, even he forgot her na and appearance.
“…That’s how things were. Mom wasn’t hard by the goddess, but rather the opposite. The White Sakura Goddess helped her and then protected her,” Chiaki explained to everyone.
Just as Seiji Kamijou had judged, the White Sakura Goddess was a kind and friendly existence.
However, the White Sakura Goddess had an evil counterpart, who had vicious intentions towards humanity. That was the Evil White Sakura Goddess!
The Evil White Sakura Goddess was the one who had been targeting Chiaki. Not only that, the Evil White Sakura Goddess was also the mastermind behind the Realm of Cherry Blossoms manifesting in the human world!
No… calling her the mastermind might not be the correct term. It would be more accurate to view the Evil White Sakura Goddess as the final boss in the Realm of Cherry Blossoms.
The White Sakura Goddess was unable to fight back against the Evil White Sakura Goddess… it was precisely because the White Sakura Goddess was weaker that the Realm of Cherry Blossoms manifested.
But although the White Sakura Goddess was weaker, she could still at least interfere with the Evil White Sakura Goddess. With the White Sakura Goddess’s protection, Chiaki would no longer be targeted by the Evil White Sakura Goddess.
aning, Chiaki’s crisis was now resolved.
Her mother had already passed away in the real world. It would be impossible to bring her back. However, Chiaki had now regained the mories of her mother, and escaped from being targeted by an evil goddess.
Yet, the danger wasn’t over yet, as the Evil White Sakura Goddess was about to descend upon the human world.

The “God-Devouring” mission failed. All of the “Yamata no Orochi” experintal subjects had died!
This mission had an expected success rate of only roughly 40%. Failure was well within the realm of expectations. However, it ca as a huge surprise to the organization that all seven of their experintal subjects had died during the mission.
Although none of these experintal subjects had been completed, they were so of the more stable Yamata no Orochi experintal subjects. They were all quite strong and possessed almost limitless regenerative abilities in their combined Orochi form. Even if the mission failed and they lost in battle, it was highly unlikely for them to have died.
But, not only had they died, all seven had died without a single survivor!
Just what exactly had they t with!?
After repeated confirmation, the organization ascertained that there had been no mistake in identifying the mission target. Everything had been carried out according to the plan. Logically speaking, this type of result shouldn’t have been possible. In that case, sothing unexpected must have occurred during the mission.
The most likely possibility was that Soul Society had intervened… however, the organization’s intelligence didn’t indicate that Soul Society had done so.
Had Soul Society superbly hidden their involvent in this incident? But, was there any reason for them to hide their involvent if so?
The organization couldn’t understand what had happened at all. An investigation would be necessary.
Either Soul Society had an unknown trump card, or sothing else entirely was involved… But no matter what, this seed rather interesting.
The organization would rember this favor and pay it back later with interest.
Still, it was rather troubleso that all the best Yamata no Orochi experintal subjects had died at this point in ti. Although it was still possible to reproduce the experint and create more test subjects, that would take a significant amount of ti. The organization decided instead to use more forceful shortcuts.
Why not be a little more reckless and try using so risky materials? Although the failure rate of the experint would be much higher, succeeding might result in sothing incredible.
If Soul Society had so sort of hidden trump card that was behind this, the organization really wanted to know what it was, or at least even so information about it. It was regrettable that there hadn’t been a single survivor to bring back any information.
Well, thinking too much about it would be useless. It was ti to get to work.

The next day was a dark and rainy one.
Isamu Seima was currently drinking tea in a café.
He was with soone else—Riho Heijou, who was currently sitting across from him. The brown-haired, red-eyed beauty was wearing a black jacket and black pants.
The two had gotten closer ever since the incident where Isamu had saved her life.
The two of them might seem like boyfriend and girlfriend as they were sitting at the sa table in this café. However, they weren’t.
Riho thanked Isamu for saving her life, but there were no deeper feelings she had for him. The two of them were now simply friends.
Riho was quite interested in the monster that they saw that day. She was certain that the monster was no illusion. Not only that, she kept insisting that Isamu must have so type of hidden power!
Under her interrogation, Isamu admitted that he was a spiritual ability user. He told her a summarized version of what happened in his dreams and about White Night.
Riho then told Isamu that maybe due to the monster’s influence, she Awakened to a type of sensory ability similar to a ntal minimap. She could sense Isamu’s presence, as well as the presence of certain people within a limited radius.
Isamu and Riho carefully observed the people that she sensed for so unknown reason on her ntal minimap. They noticed that most of these individuals seed to be in poor condition as if they were sick. So others appeared to be hoodlums if judging by appearance. However, there were also a few people that appeared perfectly ordinary and healthy.
Riho inferred that these people who stood out on her ntal minimap were either spiritual ability users just like Isamu or “potential monsters” that might transform!
Isamu wanted to contact White Night and tell him about Riho’s current situation. However, she stopped him from doing so.
“I think that White Night person is suspicious.” A sharp glint appeared in Riho’s eyes. “He saved you, but he refused to tell you the origins of the monster. Nor did he tell you how to beco stronger. He just left you alone…”
“White Night isn’t a bad person!”
“I didn’t say that he was a bad person. I just think that he’s suspicious… Anyways, don’t tell him anything about .”
Isamu found it difficult to believe that Seigo was a bad or suspicious person. However, he obeyed Riho’s wish.
Isamu felt that not telling White Night, also known as Seigo Harano to him, wouldn’t be a big deal. Although he trusted Seigo, Isamu was also slightly miffed that Seigo had just set him aside and left him to his own devices. He agreed with Riho on this.
Riho wanted to investigate the incident behind the monster that appeared at the arcade. Isamu also wanted to investigate, but had no idea how to begin.
The two of them could only do the best they could to observe the individuals who stood out for so reason in Riho’s ntal minimap. They also tried searching for information on the internet.
anwhile, Isamu talked to Ryuuma Sorimachi, who was Three-Eyed Cat back in the dream world, about the investigation, asking the latter for assistance. However, Ryuuma instantly refused, and gave Isamu a warning.
“From what I can tell based on what you told , it’s quite obvious that Harano-kun doesn’t want you to get involved. I think that it’s best if we go along with that. Don’t think that you’re amazing or anything just because you Awakened to having so powers. You’re no superhero in an ani. You’re just an ordinary person who will easily die.
“Nobody out there is hoping for you to do anything. Don’t think that this is your destiny. If you must do sothing, why don’t you train to beco stronger instead? Acting on your own will be highly dangerous. You’re not a policeman or a detective. You have no investigative skills whatsoever, so if you try and find the truth shrouded in shadow, that’s nothing more than suicide. Why don’t you try using your brain a little…”
“I know all that!” Isamu was angered from hearing all this put so bluntly. “Of course I realize that this is dangerous. But, I can’t do sothing like pretending monsters don’t exist after eting a monster like that in real life!
“Even I understand that Harano-kun doesn’t want to get involved for my own safety. But, is it really alright to just listen to him and stay away from danger? I don’t think that’s for the best… I don’t want to do that.
“I want to know what happened. I want to do sothing to help out, even if it’s insignificant… This is my justice!”
Isamu then turned around to leave right after saying this.
Afterwards, he was quite embarrassed about everything he said to Ryuuma.
Although he was embarrassed, he wouldn’t regret it.
Isamu and Riho had yet to find out any relevant information even until now. However, Riho called him this morning, telling him that a certain individual in her ntal minimap sense beca especially noticeable to her. She felt that this person would transform into a monster today!
Isamu also felt a mysterious sense of frustration within himself, similar to the way he’d felt on the day he t the monster at the arcade.
Isamu and Riho had agreed to et up at this café because the “potential monster” individual was currently here.
