2025-05-23 08:00:59The maiden who held the golden book was named Momoka. According to Ayumi, she possessed an ability known as Absolute Stealth, which allowed her to become completely invisible as long as she held her breath. Even more impressively, while in that stealth state, she was invincible—untouchable by any attack. That made her the perfect guardian of the golden book.
But even her perfect defense had a flaw.
Before we could make it out of the shrine, Momoka was suddenly taken—ambushed and pulled underground by the enemy faction.
“The hole’s gone too deep… There’s no way to reach them right now,” Ayumi said grimly, staring at the gaping wound in the earth.
“We can’t fail within one second of leaving the shrine,” Amber muttered, her tone sharp and serious. She placed her hand on the ground, closing her eyes in concentration. “The passage through the ground curved… I think I can trace where the

Chapter 96: Holy Temple
We ran at full speed, dodging shattered branches and leaping over burning roots, and even from a distance, we could still see Amber locked in fierce combat.Fire raged and explosions shook the entire forest. The trees had become charred husks, the air thick with smoke and heat. The battle only grew more intense with each passing minute."Like I told you before, your flames will never touch me,"said a young woman standing calmly amidst the chaos. She wore a pristine white nun's uniform, completely untouched by the inferno around her. Floating in front of her was a green book, glowing faintly, seemingly acting as a barrier.In her left hand, she gripped the arm of Momoka—who was clutching tightly to the golden book, her knuckles pale from the strain.I had never seen Amber struggling like this before. She was powerful, nearly unbeatable in most situations.If even she was being pushed back, then this nun must be terrifyingly strong.

Chapter 94: Mission Start
“How do we look, Noah? This outfit is super frilly and traditional! I felt like I became Japanese the moment I wore this,” Amber said as she twirled in front of me, clearly enjoying the swish and flow of her maiden outfit.Lynn stood nearby, dressed similarly, though it had taken her a bit longer to find something that fit. Her body type wasn’t exactly standard—tall, athletic, and curvier than most girls, especially in the chest area.“Ehehehehe... I was lucky that there was at least one costume that fit me. If not, I guess I wouldn’t make a very convincing shrine maiden,” Lynn said with a light blush on her cheeks.“You two really do look cute,” Ayumi commented with a playful smirk. Then she turned toward Lynn with mischief in her eyes. “But Lynn, it’s funny—clothed, you look all slim and elegant. But under there… you’re hiding two massive melons.”“Don&rsquo
Chapter 92: The Golden Book
The meeting continued.By the time we sat down and exchanged a few words, Amber had already signed the contract. Before we even heard the full details of the job.There was no turning back now.As the supposed leader of the FLAMES organization, I never expected Amber to be the type of person who could be swayed so easily by money. I mean, yeah, I knew she liked luxury—but signing a high-stakes contract just for the promise of two million dollars and a vacation in Hawaii?That was... unexpected.But what’s done is done. Besides, we’re strong—each one of us. And according to the head of the shrine, they would take full responsibility for everything that might happen.Still, I couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling building in my chest.“The item we need you to deliver,” the head shrine master began, “is something called the Golden Book… a sacred relic from ancient history. It dates back to a time before the Overdrive.”“The Overdrive?” I asked.“Yes,” she nodded. “Before the world change
Chapter 93: Worried Fina
Back at the dormitory kitchen, Fina could be seen doing her usual hobby—gathering data, reviewing files, and typing rapidly on her laptop as she organized every bit of information she had collected. The soft sound of keys being tapped filled the air, blending with the subtle hum of the appliances around her.But then, her fingers came to an abrupt stop.She froze, her hand hovering over the keyboard. A wave of emotion washed over her, dragging her thoughts back to what happened just last night—her sudden confession to Noah... and the kiss that followed.Her cheeks flushed slightly just thinking about it.What was I thinking?The memory replayed in her mind like a glitching recording. Her heart raced all over again, not from excitement this time—but from anxiety.What if Noah hates me now?What if he thinks I’m a weirdo?That probably made things super awkward between us...Fina sighed deeply, leaning back in her chair. “This is so frustrating…” she muttered under her breath, her eyes
Chapter 91: Comission
After we finished breakfast, we headed straight to the meeting place.Just like Amber said, it was indeed an old shrine. Despite its age, the structure was impeccably clean, almost pristine. It gave off the feeling of stepping back in time.Fun fact: the shrine wasn’t built using a single nail. That’s amazing, right?As we arrived, a few girls sweeping the path noticed us and nodded politely in greeting.“This seems like a wishing shrine,” Lynn said, her eyes wandering. “Maybe we can make a wish before we leave.”I looked around. Their outfits caught my attention. They were all wearing kimonos—but not just any kind. There was a star-and-flower pattern on the fabric. It felt oddly familiar, like something I’d seen before.“What are you doing? Checking out the girls working here?” Lynn teased with a smirk. “They are pretty cute.”“No, that’s not it,&rdqu
Chapter 90: Sparring with Lynn
Lynn and I kicked off the ground, launching ourselves toward each other like bullets. We’d fought more times than I could count, and over those countless matches, I’d started to pick up on her patterns—her rhythm, her habits, her favorite combos. Like Fina once told me, information is a weapon.Using what I knew from our past sparring matches gave me the edge. Or at least, I hoped it would.Lynn twisted her body mid-air and delivered a sharp kick aimed straight at my stomach. I'd already predicted this move. I sidestepped just enough to let it whiff past me, then swung my right hand toward her in a counterstrike.But Lynn wasn’t caught off guard. She blocked with both arms, solid and fast. The moment my fist made contact, I felt it—her arms were as hard as stone. It was like punching a brick wall.After her first kick missed, she landed gracefully, found her footing, and came at me again with a second kick from below—fa
Chapter 89: Troubled
I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling while the early morning light crept across my face through the window. The golden rays shimmered gently, signaling the arrival of a new day.“I didn’t sleep at all…”I muttered as I finally sat up, rubbing my tired eyes.The reason for my insomnia was obvious. My mind was still tangled in the memory of what happened the night before—Fina’s confession, her kiss, the way she looked at me in that Ferris wheel.My heart had been restless ever since.Just when I thought I might have another chance with Mio… Fina had to drop this emotional bombshell. She told me she loved me—earnestly, courageously. And now I didn’t know what to do.Fina was, without a doubt, one of the most attractive and kind-hearted girls I’ve ever met. Her warmth made people naturally gravitate toward her. She would make a wonderful girlfriend—there was no denying that.
Chapter 88: Prelude to Catastrophe
Turning Back Time a little.One Week Before the Neo Silicon Valley FestivalThe sun had long dipped below the horizon, casting the land in shades of silver and indigo. A week remained before the grand Neo Silicon Valley Festival, and preparations were underway far from the glimmering towers of the city.On the outskirts, beside a nondescript loading station cloaked in mist, a group of girls clad in ornate eastern ceremonial garments bustled with determined urgency. Their flowing sleeves and embroidered sashes swayed as they hoisted heavy wooden crates onto a rail-bound cargo train. The scent of old incense and cedarwood clung to the boxes—each filled with ritual implements, sacred charms, and offerings for the coming celebration.“Ughh… Why are there never any men in our faction?” one of the young shrine maidens groaned, her arms trembling beneath the weight of a particularly large crate. Her muscles twitched, barely holding up. “I swear I’m growing muscles just from this. My shoulder
