Chapter 38

She had lost her life before.

After 'resurrection,' she lost her love again.

This 'resurrection' was undoubtedly another blow and torture for her.

A shrine maiden who falls in love with a demon will not have a good ending.

She could give up everything for Inuyasha.

Thinking of using the Shikon Jewel to turn Inuyasha into a human, she thought they could stay together, but she was tragically killed by Naraku.

After finally 'resurrecting,' Inuyasha already had Kagome by his side.

'Most loved' turned into 'most hated.'

Finally, she died in Inuyasha's arms, finishing this tragic life.

Musashi Province.

Kaede Village.

An ancient and peaceful village.

Now, it is shrouded in the shadow of demon attacks.

An hour ago, groups of demons attacked the village.

Broken corpses were scattered in every corner of the village.

The cold and stiff bodies lay in the grass, their already decayed eyes staring blankly at the sky.

When they were still alive, they must have called out to heaven for help, right?

Incomplete weapons were scattered all over the ground; swords, knives, arrows, etc., were discarded everywhere.

The demons that were shot and killed, their broken limbs, internal organs, filthy blood, and residual flesh were intertwined with humans, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

Among the demon corpses stood a shrine maiden wearing red and white clothes.

Jet-black eyes, a melon-shaped face, exquisite and clear features, and a smooth, jet-black princess-cut hairstyle.

She held a simple bow and arrow tightly in her hand, her expression firm yet melancholy and confused.

The red-and-white shrine maiden outfit, which symbolized purity, was mixed with the blood of demons and her own.

The entire village was like a scroll of hell.

The smell of blood permeated the air, making one want to vomit.

"Sister!"

Behind her, a little girl wearing a khaki-colored single-layer garment ran over barefoot, stumbling.

"Kaede... are you hurt?"

A wisp of blood stained her shoulder.

"I was scratched, it's fine, but you, sister."

Looking at the open wound on her sister's back, Kaede couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears streaming out.

"It's not serious!"

"Kaede, help me to rest."

"Mm."

After a great battle, Kikyo was exhausted.

After bathing and cleaning the wound, Kaede carefully applied herbal medicine to her sister.

And Kikyo stared unblinkingly at the translucent screen in front of her.

Those world-destroying Pokémon deeply shocked her.

(Pokémon!)

(I want Pokémon!)

(Relying on myself alone, it is difficult to protect the village.)

In this battle, five more people died.

More than a dozen people were seriously injured.

【Group member 'Kikyo' checked in successfully.】

【Congratulations to group member 'Kikyo' for obtaining 500 credits.】

Shirona (☆ω☆): Business!!

030: Kikyo is about to die as soon as she joins the group? (seeking data)

'Future Rich Woman Health Group'

【Himeko: Newcomer has good luck.】

【Thief Cat Nami: Envious.】

Although it was blessed by the newcomer buff, there was a high probability of getting high credits, but she only got 260.

Depressed!

After that, it never exceeded 260.

Fortunately, it wasn't 250.

【Shirona: Do you want Pokémon? (Pom-Pom flaps its ears wildly)】

【Mogami Kyoko: Digimon are also possible.】

【Shirona: Damn it, Kyoko, are you stealing my business? (Pom-Pom is very angry)】

【Mogami Kyoko: So what, can't I do it? (Chicken Brother's provocation)】

【Shirona: Damn, you're not even a Digimon merchant!】

【Mogami Kyoko: I'm a part-timer.】

Musashi Province.

Kaede Village.

Hiss!!

"Sister, did I hurt you?"

"It's fine! You go rest first!"

"No, I want to watch over sister."

"Be obedient."

"Oh!"

After Kaede left and the door closed, Kikyo's expression twitched in 'pain.'

Both hands clenched tightly.

Large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.

It wasn't that Kaede used too much force.

The corrosion of the demon, plus the irritation of the herbal medicine, caused a burning sensation in the wound.

It hurt so much that she couldn't keep her expression straight.

But sister!

I cannot show weakness in front of my sister.

【Kikyo: I want Pokémon, one is not enough! But I only have 500 credits, can I... owe it first?】

Looking at the illusory screen, Kikyo was a little nervous!

She just recited 'check in' and only got 500 points.

That was only enough to buy one Pokémon egg.

Not enough!

Not enough!

Far from enough!

She needs Pokémon, urgently needs many, many Pokémon.

She wants to protect Kaede.

Protect the village.

Protect the Shikon Jewel.

She has always walked on a bloody Shura path, living a life of killing demons and protecting villagers. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
