This is probably how girls put on makeup.
In his heart, Sakurai sighed silently.
"Boss, is there any way for me to become as strong as you?"
Once again, Yotsuya Miko asked this question.
She didn't want to watch anymore, didn't want to feel so powerless anymore.
She wants to be able to control her own destiny, she wants...
Help Sakurai.
"I don't know, but..."
"You can try it."
"I'll try to help you."
This time, Sakurai gave a completely different answer from last time.
Sakurai clapped his hands to signal Yotsuya Miko to come back to her senses, and then he snapped his fingers.
"Okay, I'm ready to go back..."
"But until then."
“We have to talk to them.”
Turning around, Sakurai's gaze was fixed on the shadows of the woods.
There...
The two fox priestesses returned to their original appearance.
What it looked like when alive.
One is still a girl, the other is already old.
After the mountain god was completely defeated, they were finally freed from being dominated by Tai.
"Hey, since I got here, you've been asking me for help, right?"
"It's really annoying to keep talking non-stop."
Walking up to the woman in white lying in the fallen leaves, Sakurai showed an extremely cold and disgusted expression.
"But congratulations, you are free."
Sakurai suppressed the disgust on his face and spoke softly.
The woman stood up, clasped her hands together and looked at Sakurai through the white gauze.
She said nothing, but bowed silently.
"Since you were sacrificed by the mountain god, how many years have you been imprisoned?"
"Was it decades or hundreds of years?"
"I say, you have been shouting there, waiting for someone to hear your voice."
The woman raised her head and looked at Sakurai without saying a word.
Perhaps during these hundreds of years of torture, she had forgotten how to say anything other than "Save me".
Or maybe the language she learned hundreds of years ago was completely different from Sakurai's.
Tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes, and she cried happily, finally feeling free.
Tears streamed down her cheeks beneath the veil.
"Really? Then forget it."
"I only ask you one thing. Now, do you still feel resentment?"
"Hate those who sacrificed you, hate the mountain god who used you as a sacrifice."
"Resentment, for me who heard your voice only after hundreds of years, and even killed you once?"
Sakurai came in front of her and asked the woman who was only one step away from him.
Still crying, she raised her head, looked at the endless sky, and shook her head gently.
After hundreds of years of waiting, I have finally been relieved.
She has already...
There isn't much resentment anymore.
The only thing he felt was gratitude towards Sakurai and relief that he was finally free.
Sakurai decided to give her some time.
Sakurai walked past her in three or two steps and slowly pulled out the wild god tooth from his waist with a cold look in his eyes.
"There are still some fish that slipped through the net. They are quite good at hiding."
"Bastard."
"After the mountain god was conquered, he couldn't help but jump out. He's quite brave."
"Trash."
The dazzling knife light disappeared in an instant, and the last fish that had escaped the net on the mountain all fell down.
From now on, all the supernatural things here will be dealt with completely.
"Trash is trash. Even if I'm not in good shape now, I'm still trash."
"It's easy and simple."
Sakurai danced with his sword and inserted the Aragami tooth into his waist, then lowered his head to pick up the fallen remains.
Good luck.
Everything that fell this time seemed to be the same.
A crowbar and a complete butterfly knife, along with a piece of dry bark.
Sakurai was quite satisfied, as the relics left this time were all useful.
"Well, it's time to get going."
"As a good spirit, it is better not to stay in this world without too many ties for too long, especially in a situation like yours."
The girl in front of you, who was once a sacrifice, has a very special identity.
As a sacrifice, she became a good spirit.
This specialness was used by the [unspeakable] mountain god, who usurped this [power] and transformed himself into a [god].
In other words, she is...
The [fox coat] that the mountain god always wears.
This is also one of the reasons why the mountain god was seriously injured after Sakurai destroyed the skull enshrined in the shrine.
She is like this, now that the mountain god has been conquered, she is too conspicuous with the aura of a god (indescribable).
It was like a fish that had escaped the net and was discovered by Sakurai, rushing out impatiently at the first opportunity. To the supernatural, she, who was tainted with the aura of God, was a more tempting delicacy than Sakurai.
If no one can protect her, it would be better for her to pass away.
At least, there was no one present who could protect her.
Yotsuya Miko is not qualified, and Sakurai doesn't have the time to do it.
If she stayed now, she would only cause more trouble.
She nodded, and looked reluctantly at this world that she had not had time to enjoy, and bits of golden light emerged from her body.
"how about you?"
"Another fox miko."
"Unlike her, you won't be targeted."
"How about...want to stay?"
"Given your special identity, the mysterious world should not mind finding a way to provide you with a usable [body]."
Turning around, Sakurai looked at the other fox priestess and ordered her to leave as expected.
"No need, I defeated the mountain god."
"I don't have too many attachments to this world. The only regret is that I didn't have time to say goodbye to my disciple. Can I ask you for a favor?"
She looked at Sakurai and said softly.
"I think it would be better for you to go by yourself."
"It's not too late to say goodbye and then pass away."
Sakurai felt a little disgusted. It was too troublesome to pass on messages.
"It's too late. I don't want her to wait too long."
The "she" mentioned by the fox priestess is undoubtedly the girl who was sacrificed in the past.
For quite a long time, they worked together as fox priestesses controlled by the mountain god.
So many friendships have been formed.
Under such circumstances, how could she bear to let her wait too long?

"Whatever you want, Assistant."
"I'll leave this task to you. Anyway, they are in your hands as relics from the supernatural period."
