Chapter 500: Kamisato Ayaka: Master... Master's task!

The tool duo, unaware of the inside story, were still talking to each other.

"Hey, Lumine, what kind of treasure do you think we'll get this time?"

Paimon made a longing gesture, her face full of excitement for the reward.

For such a heavy and complex task, it wouldn't be excessive to give even a six-figure Mora reward.

And other treasures and delicious food.

Lumine glanced at her and advised, "It's best not to have too high hopes; the people we've met along the way have been quite stingy, and I imagine the Grand Narukami Shrine managed by that cheeky fox won't be any better."

Speaking of Yae Miko, Lumine always felt she saw someone's shadow in her.

Just as that person's image appeared in her mind, Lumine suddenly shivered.

She was a bit suspicious; could it be that she was cursed just for thinking about it?

Then reality told her it wasn't so.

"Wait, please stay; I thought you two were messengers sent to purify, but I didn't expect you to be sinners who betrayed my Lord."

Accompanying the cold words was a space-time barrier that locked down the mountain.

Lumine and Paimon were stunned for a moment and quickly turned around, only to find that the nine-tailed Moon Fox, which had been friendly just a moment ago, was now staring at them with a cold gaze.

"Wait, what did it just say?"

Paimon didn't react for a moment, floating stupidly in mid-air.

Lumine's brain turned quickly and immediately said, "Oh no."

This fox's sudden change in attitude was undoubtedly because it had received Hearing Hearing Luo Li order; otherwise, it had been fine just a moment ago, so why turn hostile suddenly?

It was even possible that Hearing Luo Li was watching the two from somewhere right now.

Lumine, knowing how omnipotent he was, didn't doubt for a second that they were being spied on.

And the reason for this was perhaps because of what they had said to Raiden Ei.

At that time, to help the Kamisato family out of trouble, they had revealed quite a bit of information.

Now, it seemed they were being held to account.

Swallowing her saliva, Lumine saw the huge mountain begin to expand infinitely; she didn't know if it was a visual deception or if it was truly folding space a second time.

The nine-tailed Moon Fox never expected that it would receive a decree from its master to judge these two people who had betrayed him.

But strangely, the master's order did not require a lethal blow, but rather controlled it within a certain degree.

For example, making people feel pain without getting injured.

It didn't quite understand the meaning of the master's order, but since it was issued this way, the master must have his own thoughts.

Abandoning the doubts swirling in its mind, the nine-tailed Moon Fox's gaze cooled, its expression unkind.

"To dare to betray the Master, ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for your crimes."

Lumine: "..."

That's not necessary, not necessary; we just said a little too much information, no need to die to atone for it, right?

Before the words fell, a huge tail swung over like a long whip.

Without even a chance to explain, Lumine and Paimon were forced to begin a journey of fleeing for their lives.

Fighting was impossible; with this momentum, plus the possibility of Hearing Luo Li secretly peeking.

Lumine had no desire to fight at all.

Besides, they couldn't win anyway.

…………

Tenshukaku!

Kamisato Ayaka, whose mood was constantly rising and falling, felt very uncomfortable.

In the three-tailed white fox state, seeing Lumine win easily, she felt relieved.

But immediately after, it transformed into the six-tailed state, and the young lady worried for her again.

After a series of bitter battles, she won again, and the young lady relaxed quite a bit.

But then came the third transformation; well, it was a nine-tailed fox demon directly.

Fortunately, the opponent was reasonable and didn't seem to intend to make things difficult for the two.

But the next moment it turned hostile again; Kamisato Ayaka felt so depressed, her heart in her throat.

Based on the changes in the nine-tailed Moon Fox, Ayaka guessed it must be the means of the god before her.

Since he could easily project scenes from a hundred miles away, notifying the other party of some things was clearly a piece of cake.

She had also seen the abnormality of the nine-tailed Heavenly Fox just now; it was mostly that scene that caused the two travelers to be trapped in the mountain.

Watching Lumine, who had been fighting back and forth and gaining the upper hand against the six-tailed white fox, now being chased by the nine-tailed Moon Fox, looking incredibly disheveled.

From time to time, she was made dirty by explosive light orbs, bouncing back after hitting the barrier, over and over again.

Kamisato Ayaka couldn't sit still; it wasn't in her nature to watch her friends suffer disaster and remain indifferent, so she immediately knelt before Hearing Luo Li in front of the hall.

"His Highness Luo, please forgive them."

The young lady lowered her head, her expression pleading: "I know their crime of offending the god is unforgivable, but for the sake of the traveler's significant contributions to Inazuma, please show them mercy."
