Chapter 148 I have one person who can conquer Nasuno
Shunoin Academy.
At this moment, the dull bells drove away the sunset and echoed in the campus, putting an end to this busy day.
"Well..."
In the lounge, Chiba Yui, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
After the dizziness in her mind subsided a bit, she subconsciously supported her body and sat up. The school uniform jacket covering her body naturally slid down along the girl's curves.
Seeing her actions, Himejima Yuno and Jingu Shina, who were guarding at the side, immediately surrounded her.
"Yui-chan (Chiba-san), you're awake."
Seeing the concerned looks on their faces, Chiba Yui couldn't help but be startled.
"Did I... fall asleep again?"
"Yes, but this is the last time. After this, Yui-chan won't have to worry about this problem."
Himejima Yuno paused and then added.
"Lord Yagami said so."
Hearing this, Chiba Yui suddenly remembered something. She lowered her head and looked at the pale golden magatama still lying quietly in her hand.
In this case, the eight-foot magatama is already working...
At this moment, Jingu Shina also asked seriously.
"Chiba-san, do you feel anything strange or uncomfortable right now?"
"If there is any, please inform me in time and I will tell the chief priest immediately."
"It's okay. I feel very good now. I haven't felt this clear-headed for a long time. Jingu-senpai doesn't have to worry about me so much." Chiba Yui quickly replied.
"Is that so? That's good." Jingu Shina nodded.
She then continued to ask.
"Then, I have something else that I want to ask Chiba-san."
"Huh? What is it?" Chiba Yui couldn't help but be a little confused.
At this moment, Jingu Shina's expression suddenly became less serious, but hesitant and said coquettishly.
"I'm ashamed to say it, but it's...about Lord Yagami."
Well?
Looking at the other party's expression, not only Chiba Yui, but also Himejima Yuno on the side looked obviously startled.
When he looked at Jingu Shina again, his eyes had obviously changed.
That is the view that sees it as a competitor.
At this moment, Chiba Yui's heart beat suddenly several times.
Jingu-senpai, do you also like Yagami-kun?
If it is true, then in front of a perfect young lady like Jingu-senpai who is beautiful and has a good family background, I have no competitiveness at all...
She forced down the panic in her heart, clenched the magatama in her hand, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Senior Jingu, why...why do you want to ask this?"
"It's like this. When the main priest left just now, he seemed to have been hit hard and walked away in a daze." Shingu Shrine said seriously.
"So Chiba-san, I want to know if something unpleasant happened between Yagami-kun and the chief priest?"
After hearing this, Chiba Yui finally reacted and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
Was that what I wanted to ask about?
Great, I'm just worrying too much.
However, it’s better not to tell Jingu-senpai about Inari-Kami’s seat in front of Yagami-kun...
Chiba Yui replied somewhat insincerely.
"Probably not, I think they get along quite happily..."
"Really, then maybe I'm over-concerned. After all, except Lord Yagami, no one can beat the main priest to such a state——"
"Sister Chiba, Sister Himejima, Sister Jingu, we are back!"
Suddenly, the excited sound from the door interrupted Jingu Shina's words.
Holding a large box full of fried tofu, Bai Zangzhu returned home with a full load, closed the door, and waved hello to the three girls.
"Welcome back, Xiaobai, how was the festival?"
"Well, it's fun! There are a lot of interesting things, a lot of delicious things, and a lot of interesting humans." Bai Zangzhu put the fried tofu on his head and responded with a smile.
"By the way, Sister Chiba, today we also learned a technique called confession to find a wife, which we will definitely be able to use in the future!"
"Confession, confession?" Chiba Yui couldn't help but feel a little surprised after hearing this.
"Eh? Sister Chiba, don't you know how?" Bai Zangzhu was stunned for a moment, then comforted him.
"It's okay. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"No, no need!"
Listening to the other party's innocent words, Chiba Yui's pretty face blushed slightly and she quickly declined.
Bai Zangzhu didn't pay attention to this. He glanced around the room and asked curiously.
"Where's the boss? Isn't the boss here?"
At this moment, Chiba Yui reacted belatedly.
"Yes, why haven't I seen Yagami-kun..."
"Yakami-sama? He seems to have left beforehand." Himejima Yuno replied.
"Leave? Where did Yagami-kun go?"
"I don't know much about this," Himejima Yuno said, shaking her head.
"But judging from Yagami-sama's expression, it must be something very important."
...
Go back in time.
A few hours ago, Ise City, Mie Prefecture.
The vast and quiet shrine forest covers the endless mountains and shrines, bringing some shade to the believers who come to worship under the scorching sun.
With such a majestic scale, even the top shrines such as Meiji Jingu Shrine and Inari Taisha Shrine are inferior.
But as Neon's highest level shrine, only such specifications are worthy of the status of Ise Jingu.
At this moment, the dark scabbard lifted the curtain, revealing the pretty face as white as snow behind the window.
Looking at the crowd of people coming to worship at the foot of the mountain, Otonashi Chexue said to himself.
"So, will the gods really respond to them?"
"If you're asking me, my answer is no."
Behind her, the Grand Priest of Ise Shrine, Takeda Hikaru, answered with a smile.
"Because our chief priest doesn't have the patience to listen to people's wishes and complaints."
"Even if a job is really given to her, she will kick the ball to other gods."
In response to Takeda Hikari's joking words, Otonashi Cheyuki just snorted softly.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"Why are you so anxious to find me? I still have troubles to deal with that are causing trouble to everyone."
"I understand, that matter is indeed urgent, but there is no time to worry about that now." Takeda Hikaru said seriously.
"Otonashi, come and see this."
As he spoke, the laser projection on the roof started, and a blood-red polyline appeared on the screen behind him.
The last arrow has been raised high, climbing rapidly upward at a nearly ninety-degree trend, almost breaking the screen.
"What's this?"
Looking at this chart with unknown meaning, Otonashi Chexue couldn't help but frown slightly.
"This is Nasuno's spiritual energy wave diagram." Takeda Hikaru explained.
"In short, in recent months, the range of Nasuno's spiritual power fluctuations has become larger and larger."
"From 340,000 rounds last month, it has reached close to 600,000 rounds at the beginning of this month."
"Especially last week, the peak value of Nasuno's spiritual power fluctuation once exceeded 800,000 rounds."
"Otonashi, you should understand what this means."
Takeda Hikaru said solemnly.
"At this moment, some unforeseen changes may be taking place in Nasuno, causing the originally silent Nasuno to begin to expand."
"And if this change is allowed to continue to develop, no one can guarantee what kind of consequences it will have in the end."
"Otonashi, are you listening to me?"
At this moment, Otonashi Cheyuki's eyes fell on the two curves where the fluctuations of Nasuno's spiritual power were rising sharply.
The time corresponding to these two curves is exactly the time when Yagami Sai appeared in Tokyo.
Is that really the case...?
The corners of Otonashi Chexue's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
It seems that the new king's throne is not as strong as imagined.
she asked Hikaru Takeda.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"In short, it is already impossible to attack Nasuno head-on. Even you, Otonashi, can't do it."
Takeda Hikaru muttered.
"So, I plan to send Sasaki to sneak in and assassinate the king of Nasuno."
"Even if we can't kill her, we should try to injure her as much as possible so that she temporarily loses the ability to lead Nasuno to further expansion, and delay the date of the war with Nasuno as late as possible."
"A beheading operation?" Otonashi Chexue was slightly stunned.
"Yes, but whether the planned results can be achieved is still unknown." Takeda Hikaru nodded, with some emotion in his eyes.
"After all, the king of Nasuno is incredibly powerful."
"I actually created an extremely huge barrier space simply by using magic, and created a new rule, which is the singularity space called Nasuno."
"If I didn't have to, I really wouldn't want to start a war with such an opponent."
He paused and then continued.
"In short, the task of breaking the barrier of Nasuno is left to you. Let's take advantage of the gap to break the barrier and let Sasaki take the opportunity to sneak into Nasuno——"
"I don't agree."
Otonashi Chexue refused without hesitation.
"If only Sasaki is sent there, there is no doubt that the probability of the mission's success is zero."
"unless......"
"Oh? Could it be that Otonashi, do you have any good ideas?"
Takeda Hikari was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask.
"Of course."
Otonashi Chexue half-turned her face, looking at the birds flying out of the mountains in the distance, and said confidently.
"I have a person who can conquer Nasuno."
"What? Who is that?" Takeda Hikaru asked in surprise.
"secret."
Otonashi Chexue said calmly.
"You'll know then."
"That's good."
Takeda Hikaru was too sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
"The time for action is set at twelve o'clock tomorrow night. According to observation data, that is the time when the Nasuno barrier is the weakest in a month."
"Before that, take good care of your sword, Otonashi."
"I see."
Otonashi Chexue responded briefly, then stood up and left.
"Wait a moment."
Takeda Hikaru suddenly called her out.
He looked her up and down with a suspicious look.
"Otonashi, did you leave Tokyo privately again to conquer the singularity?"
"How do you know?" Otonashi Chexue turned around, with a bit of surprise on her pretty face.
"Because there is a very strong fishy smell coming from your saber."
Takeda Hikaru asked curiously.
"Otonashi, what are you attacking this time?"
Hearing this, he seemed to recall something, and Otonashi Chexue's pretty face suddenly became expressionless.
He responded coldly.
"......octopus."
"What? What is the crusade for?" Takeda Hikaru doubted his ears, "Otonashi, did I hear it wrong?"
"It's an octopus." Otonashi Cheyuki reiterated expressionlessly again.
"Enough octopus to make takoyaki for thousands of people."
