Sachiko-chan's Happiness / Sachiko and Jalter ...

"Everyone, be careful! Oh, right! Little Jack, Little Jack! Count the stairs! Count the stairs!" Little Rhyme called out to everyone anxiously, while also leaning on the railing to call out to Little Jack, who was already a floor ahead of them.

Unfortunately, Little Jack was too terrified to hear anything.

She became a blur, leaping downwards until she crashed into a massive, mountain-like iron wall. Then something pressed down on her shoulder, and Little Jack felt she had nowhere to escape.

"Are you alright, Little Jack? I'm here, so you're all right now," the blonde girl comforted the little girl. She had rushed over after hearing the screams and just saw Little Jack plunging down the slope, so she reached out and hugged her.

"Waaaaah...!" Driven by terror, Little Jack went berserk, repeatedly stabbing the Black Shadow blocking her path with her knife.

"Hey... Jack, Jack! Calm down! Are you alright?" Shirou tried to calm Little Jack down, then looked worriedly at the blonde Saintess beside him and asked.

"What?" the blonde girl said with an all-encompassing smile.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

However, the dagger struck the blonde girl with a sound like a dagger striking steel. The blonde girl had already changed into her Spirit Dress. Having come to this world with Black Saber, her form of existence differed from that of Little Jack, who had gained a physical body through a direct connection to the established setting. Therefore, she still retained her strength as Servant.

Although the way Miss Sachiko, in her ghost form, ignored Little Jack's attacks was very different in form, it was similar in spirit.

As expected of Lady White Rose, she possesses EX-level defense, a Saintess wall of defense like a mobile fortress.

However, this situation seemed even more terrifying to Little Jack.

"Waaaaaah!!!" The blade was pulled out and plunged in again and again.

Ding... ding... ding...!!

"Alright! Alright! Stop making so much noise! Are you forging iron? Kid! Aren't you the same type?! Look where you are!" Black Saber walked up, picked up Little Jack, and punched her on the head while shouting.

"Ouch... Waaah... Black Rose Jeanne d'Arc... Waaah? Black Rose Boss~!!!" A bump rose on Jack's head, and only then did she calm down and see the situation around her clearly. When she saw Jeanne d'Arc's familiar face, tears welled up in her eyes.

Beneath the bottom layer, there was a black mist that formed a staircase, extending deep into the earth, seemingly leading directly to the Yama's Palace in hell, where once you entered, you could never escape.

At this moment, the four little girls behind them also ran down, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shirou and the others.

"Shirou- sensei~! How scary~!" The three little girls hugged Shirou tightly and started crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the teacher is here, so everything's alright," Shirou reassured them.

"Waaaaah... Little Saint ~!" Little Rhyme threw herself at her good friend Little Saint, crying as she spoke.

"Honestly! Didn't I tell you guys? It's dangerous at school at night, so go home early." Little Saint said irritably, hugging his friend.

"I'm sorry... I wasn't scared when it was just a book, but now that I have a body, it's really scary~!" Little Rhyme was also frightened and cried out. She was just an ordinary little girl now.

"Alright, alright, now that we're here, there's no need to be afraid of ghosts or female ghosts anymore." Little Saint patted Little Rhyme on the back, took out the bag Santa Claus gave him, and said with an air of pride.

"Sisters, it's our turn to step in!"

"Ah, let's quickly resolve everything and then go back!" The silver-haired girl also took out her bag, glared at the female ghost on the roof, and agreed.

The three Jeanne d'Arc three sisters from the Ghostbusters are here to report.

"But how exactly do I use this bag?" the honest blonde girl asked, puzzled.

Chapter 527 Sachiko -chan's Happiness

"Hehehe... Tonight is really lively. Everyone I want to see and everyone I don't want to see are here." At this moment, the little girl's laughter came from the rooftop again.

Miss Sachiko reached the top of the stairs. In the Black Shadow, she was slender and looked to be under ten years old. She wore a tattered yukata, which looked like it was stained with blood. There were obvious marks on her neck, and the purplish-blue color was a testament to the tragedy she had experienced before becoming a vengeful spirit.

Sachiko tilted her head, gave a strange smile, and made a throwing motion. Then, in the void, Black Shadow fell down one after another.

Dodo, dodo, dodo dodo dodo dodo!!!!!

The bouncing heads, one, two, then dozens, were all toppled over one after another.

"Damn it! I'll burn you to a crisp!" Black Saber angrily spewed flames from her hands, engulfing the severed head in them. The head, upon contact with the magical flames, was instantly ignited and Burn to ashes.

This is an illusion, a specialty of the Touhou Project. Once it encounters the flames of Black Saber, fueled by magic, it instantly reveals its true form.

"Hmph! How about that!" the silver-haired girl said smugly, looking at the ghost above.

"Hehehe..." Miss Sachiko laughed nonchalantly.

A black lake appeared in the void, then rippled. This time, hundreds of heads fell from it, swarming down the stairs and crashing down on the silver-haired girl and the others. Hundreds of elementary school students' heads were sent over, like a waterfall cascading from the sky—it was truly hell.

"Damn it! Burn it all!!!" Black Saber was about to unleash a fiery explosion to attack Miss Sachiko on the rooftop again.

"Wait! Calm down, this is a school." The blonde girl quickly stopped her.

"Yes! I have class here tomorrow. Watch me this time!" Little Saint said anxiously, releasing a blue and a red ball of light from her hands and throwing them upwards onto the stairs.

The light spheres collided with each other and exploded on the rooftop.

"Hehehe... Even if the attack is effective, it's meaningless if it misses." Sachiko passed through the wall, dodged the attack, and returned, laughing as she spoke.

As long as she's inside this school building, taking advantage of the fact that the people below don't dare to damage public facilities, Sachiko can easily dodge any attack and move freely.

"Shirou! This female ghost is too troublesome! Stop focusing on those elementary school kids hugging each other and hurry up and think of something to help! By the way, how long are you kids going to stop hugging?!" Black Saber turned around and saw the situation on the man's side, and roared in frustration.

At this moment, the three elementary school students finally snapped out of their reverie, blushing, and quickly crawled out of Shirou's arms.

"Ah, I'm sorry... teacher."

"We weren't hugging the whole time."

"It's just... staying in Shirou- sensei's arms feels so gentle and incredibly reliable."

The elementary school students blushed shyly and whispered among themselves.

"I told you to burn this place down! Burn it all down! Let's see where she can hide!!!" Black Saber said furiously.

"Yes! Yes! Burn it!" For some reason, Little Saint also raised her little fist and shouted. She was very anxious inside, and vaguely felt that her position by Shirou's side, which she had gained by virtue of being an elementary school student, was in jeopardy.

"Wait, can't we just talk this out? That child is a rational being too," Shirou said, trying to calm the frightened girls. "Um, Sachiko, can we talk this out?"

"Hehehe, Mr. Shirou, we meet again." Sachiko looked at Shirou, her attitude completely different from before. She bent down slightly, placed her bare feet on the handrail, and looked at the man at the bottom of the stairs with amusement.

At this moment, her true form was revealed: a little girl of only seven or eight years old. Her long, messy black hair was now neatly combed, and she no longer appeared gloomy. Her tattered, blood-red Feather Robe was replaced with a bright beige dress.

She lifted her skirt and bowed to Shirou.

"It really is you..." Shirou said softly, looking at the little girl. He had seen this ghost before, although back then, Sachiko had been fitted into the world's setting and obtained the physical body she wanted, appearing as an adult.

"Oh, Mr. Shirou, you recognized me! I'm so happy!" Sachiko said with a charming smile, tossing her hair.

"Wait, Shirou! What's going on? Do you know this female ghost?" Black Saber Alter asked Shirou, looking at him with displeasure.

"Brother Shirou, are you acquainted with this elementary school student?! Tell me, what's going on between you two?" Little Saint looked at the man, also feeling hurt. She had always thought she was the only elementary school student who was close to Shirou, and the youngest among Shirou's acquaintances!

"Yes, I'm interested too," the blonde girl said with a smile.

"No, she's a guest. She's a regular at the Black Tea House where Alexander and Siegfried are. I talked about her when I was helping out in the kitchen there," Shirou replied.

"Yes, the omelet rice that Mr. Shirou made for me was especially delicious. So I specifically asked Mr. Shirou to write a blessing for me. Having experienced a lot of cruelty and witnessed many tragedies, I know that only a truly kind person can make such a dish. Apart from my mother's cooking, this was the first time I had ever eaten such a warm meal. It was so delicious." Sachiko said with a happy smile, reminiscing.

"Thank you for the compliment. You're welcome to visit my shop anytime, as long as it's open." Shirou replied with a light laugh.

"Yes, of course, since Big Brother Shirou invited me," Miss Sachiko replied with a smile.

"Big brother!?" Little Saint was startled, looking at Miss Sachiko with sweat beading on his forehead, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Huh! What's wrong with this little girl? Why is she suddenly acting all innocent? And are you calling her that more and more affectionately?!" Black Saber said in surprise, looking at Sachiko's sudden change. If she keeps getting this close to Shirou, she won't be able to set the fire anymore.

"Great, that makes sense." The blonde girl clasped her hands together and stepped forward with a smile. "But speaking of which, Miss Sachiko, you've never been to our café before, even though we're in the same town."

"Yeah, after all, Shirou -chan's coffee shop has an annoying, idiotic woman working there, which really caused a lot of trouble." Sachiko laughed and skipped down, now standing only a dozen or so steps away from the people below. She glanced at the silver-haired girl below with a resentful, dark look in her eyes.

"Hmm?" Black Saber felt a chill run down her spine. Since keeping the cold-blooded woman out of the world, she hadn't felt such a chilling killing intent in a long time.

Chapter 528 Sachiko vs. Jeanne d'Arc Alter

Only the moonlight streaming through the glass windows offered some comfort to the people on the elementary school stairs, and the surrounding air grew increasingly cold. Shirou and the three girls carried cloth bags, but at this moment they couldn't grasp anything inside.

The frightened elementary school students huddled together; the ethereal ghosts were far more troublesome than they had imagined.

Instead, the conversation grew increasingly agitated. The little Miss Sachiko's ghostly gaze, filled with a chilling evil, cruel malice, and ruthless intent, swept over her neck, contemplating how to sever it. Her eyes met, and she conceived of piercing her eyeballs.

The black aura emanating from the ghostly Sachiko was an extremely bloody karmic force.

Jeanne d'Arc, under such intense scrutiny, tensed her muscles, focused her mind, and entered a state of battle readiness. Having once been a vengeful being fueled by resentment, she knew very well that her opponent was one of her own. Once the fight began, it would be a fight to the death.

The silver-haired girl was excited. As the Dragon Witch, she didn't belong in this kind of school. Hysterical revenge and endless fighting were her destiny.

A major battle seems imminent.

"Um, Sachiko, is there some misunderstanding between you and her?" Shirou stepped forward, blocking the silver-haired girl, and asked with a puzzled look.

"Don't say anything more to her! If she doesn't leave, then use force to drive her out! Shirou." Black Saber reached out and pulled Shirou back, standing shoulder to shoulder with Miss Sachiko across from her.

"Jeanne d'Arc! Calm down. Sachiko is willing to communicate with us, so we can't resort to violence. You step back, leave this to me!" Shirou said, pulling the silver-haired girl back.

"Let me go! Shirou, just staying by my side is enough! How many more troublesome female ghosts like this do you want to get to know?" Black Saber said impatiently.

The two people held each other's hands, leaning against each other, neither willing to let go and let the other take their place.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" Sachiko's face grew increasingly grim and terrifying as she witnessed the silver-haired girl's actions.

"Huh? What have I done to offend you ghosts?! I trespassed into this little world, took over a physical body, started living here, and then got angry on my own! I don't need your forgiveness!" Black Saber said, staring at Sachiko without backing down.

"Hmph! Maybe I got these favors from you, but this is this! That is that! I hate you for something else!" Sachiko said.

"Huh? This is ridiculous! I don't need your thanks or forgiveness. If you don't want to be burned down tonight, then get out of this academy right now! As for the rest, I don't care about you." Black Saber glared at the other party and warned.

"Don't you feel even a little guilty? You're still so stubborn, don't you know what you did wrong?" Sachiko lowered her head, her bangs falling down to cover her face, preventing others from seeing her expression. She asked in a low voice.

"I don't understand! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!" Black Saber said impatiently.

"Is that so...then there's nothing left for us to talk about," Sachiko said in a low voice.

"Ha! That's how it is! If you really have so many complaints, then bring it on and let's see who kills whom first!!!" Black Saber said angrily, flames erupting from her hands.

"How can such a flawed woman receive the love of so many outstanding men?"

"Aren't you just a little kid? What are you talking about love and affection? You don't understand at all," Black Saber said, frowning as she looked at the ghostly little girl.

"I've been dead for almost a hundred years! You're not even three years old yet, all you do is yell, you little brat! Go back to kindergarten and start over!!" Sachiko released a black aura that instantly filled the entire stairwell, her resentment soaring to the sky.

"Ha! So you're already dressed, old woman!" Black Saber exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Sachiko thought, "Ugh... this is infuriating! That same expression again... I want to drag you into Heavenly Elementary School and make you hang yourself, I want to cut off your snake head, I want to swatter you like a fly against the wall, I want to cut you off with piano wire, slice off your chin, gouge out your eyeballs, and drown you in the toilet!"

"Huh...! Shirou- sensei!"

"How scary... Shirou- sensei!"

"We really shouldn't have come here today... Teacher, please save us!"

The surrounding elementary school students, trembling, ran up and hugged Shirou tightly, clinging to the man as much as possible, trying to find the warmth that belonged to the world.

"Shirou- nii, take me home with you to find Mommy..." Little Jack hugged Shirou from behind, crossing his legs and wrapping them around Shirou's waist.

"I don't want to stay here either! Isn't there a better story?!" Little Rhyme floated up and hugged Shirou's neck from the front.

"Wait, calm down. If this continues, I won't be able to protect you even if I want to." Shirou said helplessly, his entire body tightly wrapped around himself, as if he were locked up.

"Little Jack, Little Rhyme, you two better help me out, don't cling to Shirou- nii!" Little Saint said irritably when he saw his classmates' behavior.

"Hmph! I'll take care of this! Shirou, you stay here and look after the child!" The silver-haired girl took the opportunity to break free from Shirou's hand and said. She revealed a vicious face and walked up the stairs with a sinister smile, wanting to stand on the same platform as Sachiko and compete with her.

Sachiko was enveloped in black karmic energy, awaiting the arrival of the silver-haired girl. She couldn't wait to punish this wicked woman.

The silver-haired girl's body was also engulfed in magical flames, and the surrounding area instantly became as hot as if it were an oven.

Meow~!!!

Just then, a Kuro Neko jumped in through the window, staring at Sachiko with its eerie vertical pupils and meowing.

"Unfortunately, it's not the right time yet! If you want to come find me, then come to the high school building tomorrow night! Shirou- Onii-chan ~! I look forward to seeing you again, so goodbye. Hehehe..." After saying her last words, Sachiko slipped through the wall and left with the Kuro Neko.

"Ugh! Damn it! They ran away!" The silver-haired girl looked out the window and angrily slammed her fist on the stair railing.

"Well, as long as no one is hurt, everything is fine," the blonde girl, the White Rose of the academy, comforted everyone.

"Hey, you five, can you let go of me now?" Shirou said helplessly, now completely wrapped up like Zongzi by the elementary school students. If there were any demons or powerful enemies attacking, in his current state, he would only be dragged down with these kids.

Chapter 529 Sending the Elementary School Students Home

"Alright, alright, everyone, let go of my Shirou- nii!!! How long are you going to keep hugging him?!" Little Saint said, pulling at his classmates one by one.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shirou." Only then did the elementary school students let go of his hands and retreat, embarrassed.

"It's alright, but you can't panic like that again, or you'll get in the way of the people who want to save you," Shirou said.

"Yes, I'm sorry," the elementary school students replied obediently.

"Okay, that's good." Shirou smiled and patted their heads.
