Chapter 940 The Battle between the Witch and the Miko
It's late at night and everything is silent.
The moonlight poured down like mercury in the quiet courtyard, making the "thump" sound of the bamboo tube hitting the stone particularly clear.
On the tatami, Hanyu Kusunoki held two sleeping girls in his arms, breathing evenly, his chest rising and falling slightly, like a picture of a winner in life sleeping peacefully.
Shimabukuro Kimie snuggled up to his side, her face serene, as if she was also immersed in a sweet dream, blending into one with her surroundings.
However, the next second, the clear and gentle eyes of the witch suddenly opened. There was no trace of sleepiness in them, only a chilling clarity, like a star that suddenly lit up in the dark night.
She stood up very quietly without disturbing anyone around her, then quietly opened the door and walked into the courtyard, her bare feet stepping on the slightly cool bluestone slabs without making any sound.
The red and white witch costume glowed with a soft and holy luster in the moonlight.
The night wind blew by, bringing with it an unusual fluctuation of magical power.
She raised her head and looked at the dark blue night sky dotted with stars.
Before the cold and bright crescent moon, an extremely slender figure was seen riding on a gorgeous and exaggerated magic broom inlaid with various gems, floating leisurely.
The black witch costume with a deep V design boldly outlines breathtaking curves, and the long red hair dances freely in the night wind like a burning waterfall.
Koizumi Akako casually placed one hand on the broom handle with a lazy posture, and with the other hand she tossed and played with a small crystal bottle that was flashing with a strange purple-black light - it was the same magic potion liquid that had allowed a certain famous detective to experience the "random transformation blind box" before.
The witch lady looked down at the witch standing alone in the courtyard with her blood-red pupils filled with scrutiny and a hint of amusement.
"Oh? You're quite perceptive, aren't you?" Koizumi Anko's voice carried the languid charm and innate arrogance of a witch. "It seems you're more than just a pretty face."
Her tone was frivolous and a little provocative.
Shimabukuro Kimie stood quietly, her posture upright, the night wind blowing the sleeves and hem of her shrine maiden costume, like a tranquil water lily. Her eyes were calm and unwavering, not at all shaken by the other party's powerful demonic pressure.
"Miss Hongzi, what brings you here so late at night?"
The witch's voice was cold, like striking ice jade.
Although it was the first time she met Koizumi Akako officially, she recognized her identity at a glance.
After all, the unique magical aura on the other party is exactly the same as the aura remaining on the witch inheritance scroll brought back by the God, so it is difficult to make a mistake.
"Borrow something, by the way..."
Koizumi Hongzi shook the bottle of dangerous potion in her hand, and a very aggressive, witch-like provocative smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "Let's see what kind of person dares to snatch the man that I, Hongzi, have set my eyes on for a long time."
She made no secret of her purpose and that subtle dissatisfaction.
She instructed Kaito to steal the sword as a smokescreen. Her real purpose was to get the ancient magic potion that could disrupt life forms and was hidden in the Feng family's secret collection. This would be useful for her research on red magic.
I just didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected “harvest”——
Witch!
This is the third person in the world to enter the other world after her and Hanyu Kusunoki.
Although she knew that there would be a real shrine maiden in the other world soon after Hanyu Kusunoki "stole" (Miss Witch insisted that it was borrowed) the shrine maiden inheritance from her last time, she still felt a little complicated when she actually saw her.
Shimabukuro Kimie and Hanyu Kusunoki have different approaches.
There is only one word difference between a shrine maiden and a witch. In a sense, they are opposites and their cultivation methods are also completely different.
In legends, witches are usually associated with demons and black magic. They behave eccentrically and worship power and self.
The shrine maidens are the servants of the gods. Because they need to maintain their purity, they wear white clothes and scarlet hakama. They communicate with the gods through Kagura dance and convey oracles. They are often regarded as "the wives of gods."
One is often seen as "evil" and the other is revered as "sacred".
The two have had a deep connection since ancient times, and their relationship...is usually not very good.
.......
"I don't have to compete with you for anything."
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the witch above, whose languid posture yet brimming with magical power, and replied calmly, "Everything I possess is a gift from the Gods. I protect the Gods' peace and tranquility, and have no intention of usurping it."
"Lord God?"
Koizumi Anko seemed to have heard something extremely amusing and let out her signature, slightly neurotic, arrogant laugh. "Hahahahahaha~ Isn't it just a little more powerful and a little prettier? Can he be called a god? You've been fooled by him, you naive and cute little miko."
"To discuss the gods without permission is extremely disrespectful."
Shimabukuro Kimie's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Hmph! Then let me see how much confidence that 'god' you're talking about has given you!"
Koizumi Hongzi snorted coldly, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart. She didn't like the wholehearted trust in the eyes of this shrine maiden when she looked at Hanyu Kusunoki, and she didn't like her calm attitude as if it was natural for her to stay by his side.
It was obviously her Lady Hongzi who took a fancy to it first (although she hasn't gotten it yet)!
Although she probably couldn't beat the cheating guy now, she didn't believe she would never be able to beat him.
Sooner or later, she will make Hanyu Kusunoki the most perfect captive belonging only to her, Lady Hongzi!
The proud witch who had never been in love did not know that her mentality of having someone else touch the thing she liked first and taking it for granted was collectively called jealousy in the history of human love.
Moreover, since ancient times, tsundere people are mostly losers!
The witch lady's slender fingers quickly drew several complex runes in the air, and a magical power condensed, turning into a dark red fireball that shot towards Shimabukuro Kimie at an extremely fast speed and with a scorching breath.
Shimabukuro Kimie did not dodge or evade, but just raised her hand and drew a line in front of her body with her fingertips. A soft and tough white light barrier appeared instantly, accurately blocking the red fireball.
"Oh!"
The magic power and spiritual power collided, making a slight muffled sound, and dark red and pure white light spots splashed everywhere, like miniature fireworks.
"Oh? You have some skills, not as weak as you look." Koizumi Hongzi raised her eyebrows, seemed to be a little interested, but her attack became more fierce.
She cast several low-level magic spells in succession, including wind blades, ice cones, mental shocks...all kinds of magic were thrown at Shimabukuro Kimie casually.
Shimabukuro Kimie focused on responding, dodging or blocking. Although it was a little difficult, she managed to take them one by one.
Her learning ability and adaptability are amazing, and in actual combat, she is becoming more and more proficient in the use of spiritual power.
