Chapter 7

"Really, not cute at all!"

Yae Miko gritted her teeth.

A moment later, she sighed.

She raised her hand and gently smoothed the fur standing on end on her ears.

"It's all messed up."

"Hmph!"

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely shock you!"

As she spoke, she pushed off with her toes, her body turning into a phantom fox shadow as she leaped across the forest branches toward the Grand Narukami Shrine.

But Lu Shu had not waited; he had already left.

He was riding a forest boar, heading toward Inazuma City.

The Path of Remembrance is quite useful.

Even a forest boar can be controlled as a 'puppet'!

He lightly weighed the Mora pouch in his hand, just snatched from the fox's waist.

By direction, Inazuma City lies just south of the Chinju Forest.

But a sea lies between them.

I'll go around from the west to the Field of the White Fox.

When the sky finally brightened, Lu Shu could at last see Inazuma City!

Suddenly!

A familiar shout from the roadside caught Lu Shu's attention.

"You guys from the Tenryou Commission are like leeches, aren't you?"

"I'm out this early, and you still run into me?"

"Damn it!"

"Want to see some fireworks?"

"Watch out for the fire~"

"Fireworks coming!"

011: The Pig-Riding Knight, Battle Rock Boar, Smash for Me (Requesting Flowers)

Looking toward the direction the sound came from.

At the edge of the Field of the White Fox, streaks of fiery red explosions shot into the sky.

Violent elemental energy raged like a furious tigress descending the mountain.

It wildly destroyed everything around it.

Holding back the samurai hot on her heels behind a wall of fire!

The owner of the voice was very familiar.

Yoimiya, the wife of the Naganohara Fireworks shop.

A talented pyrotechnician, a girl burning with passion, known to every household in Inazuma City.

She was also the 'heroic big sister' in the hearts of all the children.

In their eyes, no matter how big the trouble, it would vanish like smoke under Yoimiya's starlight magic.

Undeniably the 'leader of the children'.

Of course, this also made the ambitious, highly competitive Du Zige resentful.

Whenever the two stood together, it would end up as a showdown.

Like finishing a bowl of ramen broth in one go.

Or eating pickled plums with a straight face.

She wielded the bow and arrow with such mastery she could hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces.

One slip, and she'd shoot you full of arrows like a hedgehog.

Paired with her Hydro Vision, sss, the damage under the terrifying flame boost was even higher.

But reality is not a game.

A real archer, after all, has her drawbacks.

Just like now.

She did not draw her bow and nock an arrow.

Instead, she ignited a simple firework stick from her waist and threw it.

Though called fireworks, it was no different from an explosive fireball.

Whether she hadn't brought her bow or had it disarmed by the approaching samurai was unknown.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Bamboo tube fireworks were thrown, exploded, thrown again, and exploded again.

Leaving the pursuing Tenryou Commission samurai in utter disarray!

Some firework bamboo tubes exploded mid-air before they even hit the ground.

Many samurai were burned by the spreading flames, screaming in agony.

The scene was brutally intense.

Unimaginable.

Such a lively, cheerful, and childlike wife as Yoimiya could be so brutal in a fight!

"Damn it!"

"Naganohara, surrender!"

"Don't force us to act!"

"Considering your relationship with Young Lady Kamisato, I won't make things difficult for you!"

"As long as you hand over your Vision obediently, I promise not to harm you."

The leader was a burly, muscular constable wielding a long spear.

A constable of this rank is already very strong.

He is on the same level as Oohara Goemon, the constable responsible for protecting the Kujou family's safety.

That man advocates for the ultimate swordsmanship.

This one, however, specializes in spear techniques.

He thrust his spear like a dragon, then spun around in a whirlwind, knocking the fireworks thrown from afar flying in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A scorched patch instantly appeared on the grass.

The big man frowned.

This is no longer on the level of mere 'fireworks,' is it?

Indeed, Yoimiya is a dangerous person.

Simply putting up warning signs at the Naganohara Fireworks Shop is no longer effective.

One or two out of every ten fires in Inazuma are caused by her.

Just asking her to tone it down won't work.

"What bad luck!"

"Why is it you, of all people?"

"What merit do I have to deserve a constable stalking me?"

"If you want my Vision, catch me first."

Yoimiya was on the verge of tears.

Bullying!

This is too much bullying.

She's just an ordinary person, you know!

Having a Yuli and his men lie in wait is giving her way too much face.

It left her torn between laughing and crying.

She didn't know whether to be happy or to cry.

With the atmosphere these past few days so tense, she had planned to leave early in the morning and return late at night.

Who would have thought!

This big guy was actually hiding in the bushes?!

"Captain!"

"If this continues, the brothers will get hurt."

"Loose the arrows!"

The Yuli gritted his teeth, feeling quite helpless: "Fine, but be careful not to take her life, or it will be hard to explain to General Kujou."

Yoimiya still had dealings with the Three Commissions, was on good terms with Kamisato Ayaka, and got along well with Kujou Sara.

Originally, the Vision Hunt Decree did not involve her.

But there were truly no other targets left.

"Captain, please rest assured."

[Whoosh! Whoosh!]

Arrows pierced the air, chasing after her.

"You have no martial ethics."

"...!"

"Even if you must shoot, could you not use my bow?"

Feeling the wind at her ear, Yoimiya's flexible waist twisted sharply, and the girl's light body dodged to the side.

She barely avoided the arrow rushing toward her.

She turned her head to look.

That boy was using her bow and arrow.

This made her even angrier.

"Hahaha!"

"Stop playing clever tricks."

"You cannot escape today."

"Surrender!"

The samurai of the Tenryou Commission were very confident; with a Yuli leading them, victory was assured.

Just then, after a sudden shaking of the earth and mountains,

a roaring sound reached the ears of everyone from a distance.

They turned their heads to look.

Thirty meters away, a herd of forest boars had appeared at some point.

Leading them was a large Forest Boar King.

And on the back of the Forest Boar King,

what the hell?

someone was riding!

"A Knight Riding a Pig?"

Yoimiya's eyes immediately lit up.

"..."

What the hell is a Knight Riding a Pig? Lu Shu almost fell off.

"Forest Boar Patrol, clear the way!!"

"It's you!"

"Charge and ram!"

Spotting a samurai aiming an arrow at Yoimiya, Lu Shu commanded the forest boar to accelerate and charge forward.

Ni!

Ma?!

The samurai wanted to curse.

Where did these forest boars come from?

With such earth-shaking noise, it was impossible for them not to notice.

How did they only appear within thirty meters...

But it was too late.

He only felt a dark shadow rush at him, and then... the sky and earth were spinning violently.

In the next instant!

Boom!

A heavy impact struck, and he fainted dead away!

"You can't catch me, hahaha."

"Time for my performance!"

"Battle Rock Boar!"

"Smash them!"

Lu Shu rode the Forest Boar Squad, circling through the group of samurai a few times until not a single person remained standing.

Only Yoimiya's eyes, shining like golden tangerines, remained: "Riding-a-pig Knight, you're so cool!"

Say that again about me riding a pig?

Uh.

Seems I really am riding a pig.

The key is, there's nothing else to ride in the Forest of Guardians anyway.

012: Yoimiya's First Experience with the Light Cone, Did Yoimiya Give Birth? (Requesting Flowers)

"Wow~, you, you're so amazing, Lu Shu!"

Yoimiya, like a devout admirer, had her large eyes shining brightly.

She circled around Lu Shu, jumping and hopping.

The two walked back together.

He had already released the Forest Boar Squad.

Lu Shu even kicked one.

Why not do anything else, but be a Forest Boar?

Don't be a Forest Boar in your next life.

Forest Boar QAQ: *whimper*, it's not like I wanted to be a Forest Boar...

Yoimiya had originally gone out to avoid the samurai confiscating her Vision.

Now that the 'crisis' had passed, of course she would go back and get a good sleep.

"By the way, what is this shiny fragment?"

After a while, Yoimiya finally calmed down and looked down at the 'glass shard' hanging from Lu Shu's waist.

She saw.
