"Yes! I made it this morning, but it's a little cold."
"It's okay, it's okay. You're so beautiful, I love your rice balls whether they're freshly steamed or not."
Upon hearing this, Yae Sakura's lips twitched.
However, this familiar liveliness is exactly the same as that of the white-haired girl from before.
She quite liked it.
Yae Sakura turned around and took out two rice balls from the drawer, handing one to the woman with the frilly hair.
The latter took it and immediately began to wolf it down.
At the same time, his face was filled with happy joy.
The rice ball even has a cherry blossom scent; it's delicious.
After a hearty meal, Hoshizuki tentatively approached Yae Sakura, eventually trying to rest her head on her lap, but was refused.
In the end, she had no choice but to lie down on Yae Sakura's bed, while she silently kept watch by the candlelight all night.
The next day, Xingyue pretended to be sleepy, opened her blue eyes, and a look of disappointment flashed in them.
This shrine maiden has been sitting here all night; doesn't her leg cramp up?
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.
A girl dressed as a shrine maiden came to the door and knelt down.
"My lady, it's time for the meeting."
"okay."
Yae Sakura waved her hand, signaling the shrine maiden to step back.
After the shrine maiden left, Yae Sakura turned around and bowed to the guest again.
"Excuse me, I have to go now. Please rest here for a while."
"and many more!"
"Um?"
The sight of the girl with frilly hair suddenly jumping off the bed and grabbing her sleeve made Yae Sakura frown.
"A meeting of priestesses! I'm quite interested in that too. Wouldn't it be alright if I came along?"
Xingyue smiled sweetly, a slight curve to her lips.
The priestess glanced at her, pulled back her sleeve, and stopped after walking a short distance.
"follow me."
Seeing this girl with frilly hair getting so close to Yae Sakura, Higomaru, who was hiding in the shadows, revealed a wicked smile.
This suits its purposes perfectly. After it gets rid of that damned Valkyrie, it might even be able to exacerbate Yae Sakura's corruption—killing two birds with one stone!
So it transformed into a cloud of black mist and followed the two to the meeting hall, where it possessed the bodies of the main villagers.
"Before that woman appeared, there had never been any monsters in the village."
Under the influence of Higokumaru, the villagers became even more ignorant, staring intently at the sea-haired girl with eyes filled with boundless resentment.
"My husband was killed by a monster. It must have been this witch who angered the gods."
“That’s right, we must kill her immediately to appease the god’s anger.”
Yae Sakura looked at the restless villagers, her delicate body trembling slightly. However, when she thought of Rin's dying words, she secretly clenched her hands and forcibly calmed down her emotions.
"Everyone, there is currently no evidence that this guest caused the disaster."
It's now.
Higokumaru instigated the ignorant masses to riot, who grabbed their hoes and other weapons and swarmed towards Hoshizuki.
"The priestess must have been bewitched by this witch. Everyone, let's attack together and avenge the dead villagers."
"Wait."
Just as Yae Sakura was about to step forward to stop him, her father grabbed her arm.
That's how it is. Valkyries can't attack ordinary people. They have the advantage of numbers, so they might be able to take down the Valkyrie.
Hishikomaru already had a triumphant smile on his face.
But the next moment, the fox-like face instantly turned into one of utter bewilderment.
Not only it, but also Yae Sakura, and the soul of Yae Rin who had been secretly observing, were all stunned.
Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft
Black tentacles pierced through the bodies of each villager from behind.
One by one they fell to the ground, lifeless.
"So, even if I really did it, what can you do about it?"
Xingyue crossed her arms, looking completely indifferent.
This scene completely shattered Hishimaru's worldview, but it immediately realized something was wrong.
Those unsettling black tentacles, and this unusual, almost gushing Honkai energy.
Who exactly are you?
The "Yae no Kami" covered in black energy released Yae Sakura's arm and came to Hoshizuki's side.
Chapter 80: Let me tell you a story? The past Sakura Rin and the present Yae Sakura Rin.
Are you asking me?
Xingyue's slender hand gently caressed her chest, and a mysterious smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
"Xingyue was just a planetary-level Honkai Beast that happened to be passing by."
“I noticed something was off about the stigmata on Theresa’s back, and purely out of lust, I came over.”
Upon hearing this, an eerie silence immediately fell over the surroundings.
The body of Yae no Kami fell to the ground, and in its place stood a white nine-tailed fox.
It puffed out its chest, opened its blood-red mouth, and chuckled a few times.
"Hahaha! I thought some powerful character had arrived! But it turned out to be just a Honkai Beast."
The weight lifted from Higokumaru's heart.
The opponent was acting so aggressively that it thought some powerful and ruthless character had arrived! It never expected it to be a Honkai Beast.
What about planetary level? Hmm, never heard of that, kid! Isn't the highest level Judgment level? That's pretty ordinary too.
This also explains why it could retain such great power even after entering the Stigmata Space it controlled.
After all, the powers and malice of the Herrschers are only directed at humans. If a Honkai Beast, a member of the Honkai faction, were to enter, it would indeed not be affected.
Alright, now it's up to it to step in and crush this ant that suddenly intruded, before continuing to erode Yae Sakura.
Thinking of this, Hiyokumaru scoffed disdainfully.
Surely Yae Sakura herself never imagined that the woman she was protecting with all her might would actually belong to the Honkai faction.
Higokumaru couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of Yae Sakura's comical face.
The fox turned its head behind it, but then suddenly stopped.
Higokumaru felt a strange chill run down his spine.
It looked ahead again.
The girl with the frilly hair had a dark smile on her face, and all around her was rising, dense, and tangible black Honkai energy.
"You seem to have some kind of problem with Honkai Beasts!"
Hishimaru's heart skipped a beat, but then it remembered that the other party was just a Honkai Beast, so it regained its confidence.
"A mere Honkai Beast? Aren't they consumables? If you're not going to ruin my plans, then get lost!"
"Um?"
After saying this, Hishimaru's bloodshot eyes suddenly widened.
The girl's figure suddenly disappeared.
The fox's face twisted and turned, trying to find traces of the other party, but it found nothing.
The next moment, Higokumaru suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from his forehead.
Oh no~
As soon as the thought crossed its mind, its entire fox body was subjected to immense pressure, causing it to uncontrollably sink into the ground.
bang~
The wooden floor collapsed into a large hole in an instant, and the flying wood chips forced Yae Sakura, who had lost her fighting ability, to defend herself.
Hisoko-maru's entire fox head was slammed hard into the mud on the ground.
It slowly opened its blue fox eyes, its gaze towards the girl filled with disbelief.
It tried to struggle, but half of its body was stuck in the mud and it couldn't move at all.
"Damn it, how can the Honkai Beasts be so strong? In the space I control."
The girl pressed one hand against the fox's head, while her other, jade-like hand lightly covered her mouth as she lazily yawned.
"What? Is the Herrscher's power really that insignificant?"
"This humble woman is waiting for the Herrscher to come and crush her! What's wrong with you? Are you getting weak?"
"Damn~"
The white fox was trembling all over, and clusters of crimson flames floated in the air before converging into a ball of fire and falling wildly.
It's angry, it's really angry.
The other party's nonchalant attitude made it seem as if a hand was pressing down on it, and there was still a lot of strength left to exert.
It's just a mere Honkai Beast, don't be so arrogant. So what if it's a little stronger?
"Turn to ashes under this flame!"
"Tsk!"
The girl merely curled the corners of her lips into a disdainful smile.
They didn't even bother to defend against the raging flames.
How dare you look down on me?
All of Hiyomaru's anger surged up at once, increasing his output power. In the blink of an eye, the number of flames and their rate of descent accelerated.
Die! You arrogant bastard...
What? This?
Himeko was taken aback.
Just as the fireball it released was about to touch the girl, it was completely blocked by a blue barrier that appeared.
"What? This is the method you're so proud of?"
Xingyue released her grip and instead began to stomp on the fox's face, kneading it.
Seeing that the other person was still recovering from the surprise, she laughed a few times.
"As expected of someone as foolish as you, you've caused the death of your own sister, Ling!"
"What? Hmm~"
Seeing that the fox was trying to open its mouth to speak, Xingyue increased her strength and stepped on the fox's huge mouth.
"Next, you'll tell me how you knew my name."
Xingyue released her foot.
How did you know my name?
