A Witch's Enemy Can Be a Friend / The Witch's Enemy Appears ...

"That's not how it is, sister..." Yukino Yukinoshita embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. It's just a cat, not your boyfriend, why are you so nervous?" Haruno said with a smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita finally breathed a sigh of relief, because this guy was her boyfriend who had turned into a cat!

"Meow..." Shirou the cat meowed helplessly; it seemed like he was doing something wrong no matter what.

Yukino pinched Shirou's face. Her embrace probably wasn't as comfortable as her sister's; after all, her sister was much fuller. Even though they had the same parents, why was there such a difference in their figures?

The girl was slightly hurt.

"I love everything about Yukino!!! I'm only truly happy when I'm by Yukino's side!" Shirou turned his cat face repeatedly, trying to explain and comfort her.

Unfortunately, the girl couldn't understand it at all.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, about what Mom and Dad think, is that okay?" Haruno's smile faded, and she looked at the girl seriously as she spoke.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her older sister, seemingly aware that this was important, and nodded, standing up to say, "I know. Wait a moment, I'll put the cat inside."

"Meow!!"

"Wait? Yukino, why did you take me away?!" Shirou protested.

He was locked in the cats' room. As soon as he entered, the orange tabby cat Tama and the lion cat Ranran pounced on him and pinned him to the ground. Yukino gently closed the door and walked outside.

The next morning, as the sun rose, Shirou transformed back into human form from a cat in bed.

Last night, Yukino chatted outside for more than an hour, during which there was a near argument. Yukino even seemed to have cried. It wasn't until after seeing Haruno off that Haruno came into the room and took Shirou out, who was constantly outwitting and fighting with the two female cats.

However, he had no idea what the girl had said to her older sister, Haruno.

Chapter 799 The Witch's Enemy Can Be a Friend

After Shirou transformed back, the girl also woke up. Today, the two of them chose to get up again and go to the park for their daily exercise. After all, the key to exercise is perseverance. While it's not like a professional athlete who 'misses a day of practice, becomes rusty; misses two days of practice, loses half their skill; misses three days of practice, becomes a complete novice.'

However, to maintain muscle strength, a certain amount of exercise is still necessary.

Before they had even run forty minutes, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped and silently left the main path, heading towards the lawn. Shirou looked at the girl with some confusion and followed her.

"What's wrong, Yukino?" Shirou asked the girl with concern. Sure enough, something Haruno had said last night had made the girl feel depressed.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just not feeling well today," Yukino shook her head and said softly.

"Okay, I understand. Let's sit down and rest for a while." Shirou took a clean towel out of his pocket, placed it on the wooden bench in the park, and helped the girl sit down.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me so much, Shirou," Yukino said, looking at Shirou.

"But, Yukino, if anything happens, I hope you can tell me, otherwise I'll feel sad because I won't be able to protect you properly," Shirou said sincerely, holding the girl's hand.

"Shirou..." Yukino looked at Shirou with emotion, her brows, which had been furrowed with worry, finally relaxed a little.

Last night, Haruno told Yukino that her family was against them being together.

"Shirou! He's a very good person. Whether he deserves it or not is for me to decide! It's none of your business!" Yukino said angrily at the time.

"Yukino, this won't do, you know. Daddy and Mommy will be sad." Haruno revealed a ferocious look, staring straight at Yukino, occupying the moral high ground, and then using morality to lead the people around her to follow her and crush them, which was her most common method.

Normally, Yukino would be forced to comply, suppressing her feelings, and sometimes even feeling like a puppet on strings. In high school, she didn't want to become that kind of person, which is why she demanded independence.

However, if she hadn't met Shirou, she might never have been able to get out of this situation.

So at that time, Yukino, with a firm gaze, refuted Haruno, saying:

"Whether it's right or wrong, I'll apologize to Mom and Dad later, but my decision to be with Shirou will never waver."

She is a perfectionist, demanding the best of herself in everything. Absolute correctness and absolute justice, but Shirou taught her that she can allow herself to be less perfect if it's for Shirou's sake.

"Really, Yukino? You've grown up again. But you should still be careful, Mom might sneak over to see Shirou in the end," Haruno warned her younger sister.

Yukino Yukinoshita's father was a member of parliament in Chiba Prefecture, equivalent to a high-ranking official in a province in other countries. In Japan, officials are managed like family businesses passed down through generations. Every high-ranking official leaves behind a large political legacy after death. They will receive the unified support of their political party, and of course, they also bear the responsibility of representing the entire party in advocating for its interests.

Giving up this responsibility would often affect the interests of many, many people. It's not something that can be easily resolved with a simple statement about freedom of marriage.

Although he has a younger sister Haruno, that person might one day, for whatever reason, shirk responsibility, simply because he sees his cute little sister looking troubled.

In this world, Shirou, purely in terms of social status, is indeed worlds apart and is completely unworthy of the Yukinoshita Family.

However, Yukino's mother is also a very strong figure. She is not the kind of strong person who is ferocious and unreasonable. Rather, she is more like a soft knife, seemingly gentle and kind, but actually deadly.

The woman's gaze was kind and warm, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze. But on the other hand, there was a forceful pressure that left no room for refusal, compelling people to do as she asked.

Shirou had met that woman before. She looked very similar to Haruno and Yukino. In about twenty years, Yukino would probably look like that too. However, unlike Haruno's shrewdness and Yukino's aloofness, she carried an undeniable charisma and a kind of majesty. Despite her kind and friendly smile, she made people hesitant to approach her.

"Yukino, thank you. I feel the same way you do. So it's alright. If your aunt comes looking for me, I'll do my best to entertain her. But as for being with you, I will never back down." Shirou said earnestly, looking at the girl he loved.

So what if I have to put up with my future mother-in-law's temper? I'll endure anything to marry your angelic daughter.

They looked at each other and smiled, their fingers intertwined. If their hearts are in sync, then no obstacle is an obstacle.

"Well, but we need to get rid of the curse on you first, otherwise if you suddenly turn into a cat while making tea for my mother, she might faint from fright," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile.

"Then let's go to the school to find the witch today too," Shirou said.

"No, the investigation at school yesterday revealed that the witch is very well hidden, so I think perhaps we can start with rumors from the opposite direction," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile.

"The opposite direction?" Shirou asked.

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and said, "Do you remember the other witches that you mentioned, the evil witches from the dark alleys of Fortune Telling Street? They were rumored to be demons who enjoyed toying with humans, and they were expelled from the school by the three witches."

So the two arrived at the fortune-telling street, which is actually a famous street for mysterious goods. The surrounding area is full of small shops selling all kinds of religious blessing and protection items. Whether it is Thailand amulets, prayer beads blessed by high monks, Daoist Bagua, Middle Eastern ornaments to ward off evil spirits, African shaman stones, or amulets from Shintoism shrines, you can find them all.

"Hey bro, sis, wanna have your love life told? No questions asked, no money required." Seeing Shirou and Yukino, there were quite a few fortune tellers soliciting business.

Unfortunately, given Shirou's sensitivity to Magic Resistance, the masters here are all charlatans. They might be masters of micro-expressions, possess detective-like eyesight, be experts in practical psychology, or be eloquent rhetoric experts who can make all prophecies sound ambiguous. However, they are definitely not Superman with futuristic vision, nor are there Magecraft among them.

Shirou walked around the street and suddenly noticed a magical reaction coming from a dark alley that was not exposed to sunlight, so he walked towards it.

Chapter 800 The Witch's Enemy Appears

The entire fortune-telling street was packed with all sorts of shops, and further inside were various small stalls.

There was a mysterious old woman with prayer beads and a headscarf. She had made a small hut with a gauze covering her head. On the table covered with a red cloth was a crystal ball. She would only have one divination session with one guest at a time. Then she would remove the crystal ball and uncover the red cloth, revealing a glass cabinet filled with beaded bracelets and necklaces of various colors, labeled with various effects such as 'exorcising ghosts' and 'warding off villains'. It turned out that she also had the secondary job of exorcising spirits and dispelling evil.

Beside him stood an old Daoist priest who had set up a wooden table with a calligraphy brush and several sheets of white paper on it. Opposite him was a wooden chair with a flag hanging behind it. On one side were the four large characters "Cloth-Clad Divine Calculator," and on the other side were the words "Zombie Buster." A stack of talismans written in cinnabar and several peach wood swords were also hanging on the wooden frame.

I don't know why he put a picture of an American zombie movie next to it; what's the point?

To the right was a bald, barefoot Indian man sitting cross-legged on the ground. There wasn't even a table; he simply placed a cloth on the ground and displayed various trinkets on it.

Even though the place was crowded, everyone seemed to overlook one spot, preferring to bask in the sun rather than approach that shady alley. It was as if something had hidden it away, interfering with people's perception, as if there was a wall separating it from the viewpoint.

The dark alley, where sunlight never reaches, makes you feel the temperature drop several degrees just by approaching it; it's practically the kind of place a legendary evil villain would want to live in.

"Yukino, wait here for a moment, I'll go check it out." Shirou turned back to the girl and said, then carefully walked into the alley.

The alley was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Even with Shirou's sharp eyesight, he couldn't make out what was inside and could only proceed slowly.

There seemed to be something inside, sensing someone approaching from outside.

Something white moved above the alley and then crashed down towards Shirou inside the alley.

"Shirou! Watch out!" Yukino Yukinoshita sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly.

The moment they entered the alley, a colossal creature suddenly leaped down from the dark sky. Before they could even discern what kind of monster it was, it swung a massive axe down towards Shirou's head, crashing down like a Shirou.

Bang!!!

Shirou, being a seasoned veteran, instantly Projection his black and white twin blades, slightly lowered one knee to prepare for deflecting the force, and blocked the giant axe that fell from the sky.

Unexpectedly, Gan Jiang · Mo Ye were sent flying the moment they touched each other.

Shirou quickly Projection new twin swords, placed them on his shoulders to block, and jumped backward. With the force of the impact, he was sent flying. To protect Yukino, Shirou Projection steel shoes, which fell to the ground. His feet touched the ground, and his boots scraped against the ground, creating sparks. He slid three or four meters across the ground.

Shirou secretly gasped. If he hadn't changed direction and had stayed in place to take the hit, even if he had blocked the axe, his tendons would have been torn apart by the immense force, and his bones might have shattered. This would have significantly reduced his combat power, since the physical body couldn't withstand the same level of damage as a spirit.

"Yukino, step back!" Shirou instantly Projection four iron swords, which flew towards the horned giant, restraining him and preventing him from charging around recklessly.

"I understand! Shirou, be careful!" Yukino Yukinoshita retreated outside, knowing that she couldn't cause Shirou any trouble at this time.

What was about to unfold was a massive, earth-shattering battle, seemingly concealed by a hidden barrier. The strange and unusual people in the fortune-telling district outside were oblivious to what was happening, continuing to hawk their wares. Shirou knew that with his height and weight completely overwhelming him, close combat would be extremely disadvantageous, so he had no choice but to resort to more powerful methods.

"Witch, the enemy... won't... let you harm them," the giant wielding two massive axes whispered.

Asterius, wielding two giant axes, brought them down on Shirou, unleashing a power comparable to that of the Great Hero Heracles.

Shirou dodged the most fatal burst of attack, then raised his black and white twin swords and launched a counterattack that was both restraining and powerful. Even though it wasn't the most powerful blow, it still made Shirou's arm go numb.

Bang! Bang!

The sounds during the battle resembled those of a blacksmith hammering iron.

Shirou then recognized the enormous creature that attacked him. It was a tragic figure from Greek gods, a prince who was abandoned and forced to become a monster guarding a labyrinth.

Shirou called out his name: "Asterius... Berserker, huh?"

Although he didn't know why he was here, he couldn't let him hurt Yukino. Shirou assumed a stance to unleash the Crane Wing Triple Slash Attack.

The two sides were on the verge of conflict and lunged at each other once again.

A whooshing sound followed, like chains tearing through the air.

A long chain with a scythe attached to it fell down and embedded itself in the ground, blocking the path between Shirou and the horned giant.

"Please stop, Elder Sister! He's not an enemy." A purple figure landed on the ground and spoke.

She has a petite figure, long pinkish-purple hair, and wears a black, tight-fitting combat suit with a cloak draped over her shoulders.

"Gah... Medusa ..." Asterius stopped and said.

"Huh? Medusa... chan?" Shirou looked at the little girl who was noticeably smaller than he remembered, like a lower elementary school student, and asked in confusion.

"It's me, Shirou, but I'm in a different form now." The little girl nodded and said to the boy. Although it was a different form, she was indeed Medusa.

At that moment, two slender figures emerged from the alley, their voices uttered in a sweet, girlish tone.

"Hey, isn't this the familiar young man? I heard you became a god?"

"This appearance is more like that blacksmith from Chaldea, but he looks younger."

Two incredibly beautiful twin girls emerged from the alleyway, practically goddesses of beauty. In fact, they were indeed goddesses, the two virgin goddesses of the Gorgon sisters: Stheno, the elder, and Euryale, the Second Sister. Back in Chaldea, they were notorious troublemakers who enjoyed teasing their Master and bossing around their younger sister, Medusa.

"So the enemies of the three witches are you guys?" Shirou said, covering his face. Seeing the two goddesses, he felt that the three witches' side did indeed represent justice to some extent.

Chapter 801 Hunting Witches with Medusa

"What? You want to cause trouble for those three witches? Very well! Very well! I grant your permission!" Hearing Shirou say that he was under a witch's curse and now wanted to talk to the witches, the eldest sister Stheno's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile.

"Since you were able to withstand Asterius's attack and have gained your sister's approval, I'll grant your request. But you'll have to teach those three guys a good lesson then." Euryale revealed a mischievous, wicked smile.

"Alright! We'll go with you! We'll help you find those witches!" the two goddesses said in unison, looking very excited about what was to come.

"Wait, while I want to lift the curse, I need to understand your purpose. If it's to harm humans, I'd rather not cooperate with you," Shirou said, looking at the two goddesses with their twisted sense of humor. They had suffered greatly at the hands of humans in their previous lives, and although they weren't evil gods, their perception of humans was far from pleasant. Even now, Shirou still couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong—they or the three witches.

"Hmph... Well, follow me and you'll see." The goddess rolled her eyes at Shirou and led the way out of the fortune-telling street.

"Oh, isn't this Stheno? You look as beautiful as ever today."

"Good morning, Lady Euryale."

When the people on the divination street outside saw the two young women, they all stood up and greeted them respectfully.

"This is the limited edition pudding that Lord Stheno likes. I went to queue up this morning to buy it."

"This is what you said you wanted, Lady Euryale, and I brought it with me."

"Very good, well done. We'll accept these." The two goddesses accepted them as a matter of course, and then let the tall Asterius, who was acting as their follower, take over.

"Yes! Yes! It's our honor!" the merchants on Divination Street said respectfully.

"Why do the people here seem to respect you so much?" Shirou asked Little Medusa with surprise.

"Hmph, we did go a bit too far back at the university, but humans are meant to please the gods. But these humans here are offering us tribute, so as goddesses, we will naturally protect them," the two goddesses said with a snort.

"Because of my Elder Sister, she blesses the props they sell, and the effects are very good. They've all made a lot of money, so everyone is grateful to my Elder Sister and the others," Medusa said with a light laugh, appearing very respectful to her elder sister.

"Medusa, here, this is sweet milk candy." As she passed by, someone came up and stuffed some snacks into Little Medusa's hands.

"Thank you, Grandma," Medusa said, thanking the old woman and others at the fortune-telling shop.

"So, Medusa- chan is quite popular, isn't she?" Shirou said with a smile, observing the way people around him treated Little Medusa.

Little Medusa shook her head shyly, her face slightly flushed, and said, "No... I'm far from good enough. All I can do is physical labor and protect my Elder Sister."

People around her looked at the little girl with loving eyes. If the two Elder Sister were like idols, then this little goddess was the kind of adorable darling who could heal hearts.

"No, you've done more than enough," Shirou said to the petite girl. Taking care of two willful older sisters must be tough, especially since she's still so young. But it seems like things will only get worse when she grows up.

"But do those blessing items really work? Can those two girls really do that?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened in surprise. But there's a witch in the school who turned her boyfriend into a cat. But the legend says that justice triumphs over evil, isn't it the other way around?
