Chapter 106: Reasons and Belief
Blood dripped onto Ayumi’s stomach, warm and wet, slowly soaking into her robes. Behind her, the girl holding the spear—Pela—stood frozen. Tears streamed down her cheeks, her lips trembling with the weight of guilt.“I told myself I wouldn’t cry…” Pela whispered, her voice cracking beneath the pressure of her conscience. “But I had to do this, Ayumi… I didn’t have a choice…”Ayumi’s breath hitched, not just from the pain of the wound, but from the overwhelming sting of betrayal. Her eyes widened in disbelief, her heart throbbing with confusion. Why? Why would Pela, of all people, do this?Her mind flooded with questions she couldn’t answer. The pain was sharp, not just physical, but emotional. A wound deeper than any blade could inflict. Yet, even in this grim moment, Ayumi forced herself to smile. Her voice was soft, almost motherly.“I understand, Pela… I understand,” she said gently, her tone filled with a strange calmness. “You’re merely following orders, aren’t you?”Pela broke.
Chapter 105: Selfishness and Love
Turning back time a little...At the same moment Ayumi and her team were having dinner and resting in the forest, Mirai had made a decision. She would return to the shrine, serving as a bodyguard just in case the Genius Society launched an attack on the head of the Light Goddess Shrine.Mirai, together with her group, arrived at the shrine—and without a word, they attacked the remaining shrine maidens.The metallic clash of blades rang through the air, accompanied by the chaotic noise of battle.Yet despite the turmoil, Sayuki—the head of the shrine—remained seated in her room, quietly sipping tea while gazing at the massive painting that hung on the wall.The painting depicted a woman whose beauty transcended humanity. The easiest way to describe her would be “a goddess”—not just in appearance, but in truth. The Goddess of Light.“You’re still so cold. Even with all the screaming and the sound of people dying outside… You’re calm as ever,”Mirai said as she stepped into the grand roo
Chapter 104: Truce
"This must be his final form... It's terrifying to think that someone could even possess this kind of ability," Yuna muttered, her eyes locked on the massive red dragon that Ryuga had become. The beast towered above them all, its crimson scales glowing like molten lava, and every breath it exhaled sent waves of heat across the battlefield. She turned her gaze toward Ayumi and Mina, and both of them wore the same anxious expression—wide-eyed, tense, fully aware of the monster standing before them.Suddenly, the eerie sound of clanking metal echoed from the train station behind them. It was the unmistakable noise of train cars being disconnected from one another. Thick black smoke puffed upward from the head of the train, and despite the pool of blood still staining its steps, the masked man had returned to the engine room and was now starting the train.“Choo! Choooooo!”"Cough! Cough! What now?! What's that masked man planning?" Mina asked, covering her mouth from the thick smoke.Noa
Chapter 103: Amusement and Battles
At the highest floor of a luxurious hotel, inside a grand room adorned with velvet curtains and gold-lined furniture, the woman known as the 9th Seat of the Genius Society sat comfortably on her crimson leather throne. Her cold yet dazzling eyes were fixated on a wall of monitors, each one displaying a different battlefield in real-time. A twisted smile tugged at the corners of her lips, revealing how much she enjoyed the chaos unfolding outside.One screen showed Amber locked in a brutal clash with Robin. Another displayed the desperate skirmish between the shrine maidens and the rampaging bandits. And yet another followed Ryuga as he battled Noah’s team, fire and destruction lighting up the station like a war zone.The woman leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm, her gaze gleaming with pure amusement.“Ahhh… it’s just like a simulation game,” she mused, her voice smooth and delightfully cruel. “Multiple factions, all
Chapter 102: Train Station
"I can see it now—the train station!"Momoka exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with joy, a big smile stretching across her face.Ayumi, slightly out of breath but smiling too, nodded. "When we arrive, there should be shrine maidens waiting for us. They’re probably already here."Reaching the station felt like a tremendous victory, even though it was only the beginning. This was their first stop on what promised to be a long, dangerous journey. Elsewhere, Amber was locked in combat with Robin, while most of the other maidens were still engaged in battles against a scattered group of ruthless bandits.Now, only four people remained in Ayumi’s group. It was a painful reduction from the number they had started with. The cost of this journey had already been steep.As they stepped onto the station platform, Lynn let out a long, tired sigh. She finally dropped to one knee, carefully letting down the three people she had been carrying across he
Chapter 101: Love is a War
Late at night.“I can’t sleep at all,” Fina muttered, her voice muffled by the stillness of the room.She lay sprawled across her bed, eyes locked onto the ceiling above her. The dim glow of the moonlight leaking through her curtains only added to the loneliness she felt. With a frustrated groan, she grabbed her pillow and slammed it over her head.Then, came the inevitable scream.“Why did I kiss him?!” she cried into the pillow.She tossed and turned in bed, rolling back and forth like a restless child. “Maybe Noah hates me now… or worse, he probably thinks I’m just some silly girl who falls in love too quickly, too easily…”Her face was flushed with a mix of regret and embarrassment, her heart pounding in her chest. She wrapped her arms around the pillow tightly, as if trying to squeeze the thoughts out of her mind.After a few more moments of internal torment and halfhe
