Chapter 241

He can even do something like this.

He's truly an utterly despicable person.

Should we confront him?

What theory?

It's no use!

"So we're just going to do nothing?" Theresa said. "Is that all? Just sit here and do nothing?"

"Do nothing?"

Unless I'm willing to walk that altar in Yae Rin, nothing will change. If that's the case, then I'll go to the altar!

There will definitely be a way, there will definitely be a way, right?!

"Then let me go," Theresa said, appearing fearless and determined. "If someone really needs to go up to this altar."

"Then let me go!"

"You?!" Yae Sakura looked up at Theresa in disbelief.

She knew Chief Priest's intentions; she knew Chief Priest was only using her to threaten Theresa.

You just agreed like that?

"Don't worry," Theresa said confidently, "I have a plan."

"I told you, I will save everyone!"

"Definitely!"

Really?

Yae Sakura didn't know, but she let go of his hand.

Was Theresa the only one to sacrifice?

Perhaps...

Perhaps there is still a way, right?

Right?

Night falls.

As darkness fell, the sun's rays vanished completely from the earth, and darkness enveloped the entire land. Theresa and Mei were preparing to lie down and rest.

Mei is unaware of this matter yet.

The Chief Priest sent Mei away, and Theresa didn't tell Mei about it either.

Theresa didn't really want Mei to know.

They can't help, and they only cause people worry.

Theresa now thinks that Mei only needs to focus on finding the source of this Rice Blast Disease and epidemic, Mei doesn't need to worry about other things.

I just lay down and haven't fallen asleep yet.

Then I heard a faint sound of the door being pushed open.

"Who?!" Theresa and Mei exclaimed in unison as they both sat up.

"Shh~"

By the dim light of the candlestick, Theresa and Mei were able to see the person who had arrived.

"Oh, it's you, Miss Miko Maiden." Mei straightened her clothes and sat up straight, saying, "What brings you here so late?"

"Of course," Yae Sakura nodded and said, "It's something very important."

Yae Sakura cautiously peeked through the gate twice, then waved.

A cautious, small body slipped through the crack in the door.

Yae Sakura quickly and carefully closed the door, trying her best not to make any noise.

Only then did Theresa get a better look at the person who had crawled in, thanks to the light.

"Yae Rin?!"

Theresa screamed.

"Shh!!!" Yae Sakura quickly covered Theresa's mouth and said, "Keep it down, don't wake anyone!"

"Waaaaah." Theresa nodded.

"What happened?" Mei asked, looking at Yae Sakura who seemed overly cautious. "What are you trying to do?"

"Let's run away." Yae Sakura didn't say much and directly stated her purpose.

"Escape?"

Mei frowned and asked, "Why did you run away?"

"What... what happened?"

Mei then realized that something she didn't know had happened in the past few days.

"The Chief Priest God wants Theresa and me to be sacrifices in the Sacrifice Ritual," Yae Rin said. "These past few days, when Mei went to find the Guardian Deputy..."

"It was decided by His Holiness the Chief Priest."

"This?!!!"

Mei couldn't sit still any longer. She felt a surge of anger, as if she had been deceived and fooled. She said, "When was this decision made? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

She knew that the village was preparing for a new Sacrifice Ritual.

But it was actually a human Sacrifice Ritual!

She genuinely didn't know that.

"Eh..." Theresa scratched her head and said with a slightly silly smile, "I'm sorry, Mei, I didn't tell you. I thought I could handle this."

"And I think the most important thing right now is to solve the food and disease problems."

"Once these two problems are solved, the Sacrifice Ritual simply cannot be organized."

"But Mom... ah, no, the Doctor isn't here!" Mei said. "We might not be able to resolve this before the Sacrifice Ritual is performed, even with our own efforts."

"Ah... this..."

Theresa really couldn't refute it.

The professionals aren't here.

It might really be difficult to solve.

"We'll definitely find a way," Theresa said, changing the subject. "Um, Yae Sakura, you have to trust us."

"I came here because I trust you," Yae Sakura said solemnly. "I have a plan."

"Hmm? What method?" Theresa asked curiously as soon as she heard it.

"Let's run away," Yae Sakura said. "Let's escape from Yae Village."

"I know that running away is shameful, but it's useful!"

"And!" Yae Sakura said, "I know the safest way to run!"

"We'll definitely succeed this time!"

"I've already drugged everyone who might get in our way!"

In the numerous cycles of reincarnation Yae Sakura has tried to escape more than once, though she failed each time. But as the old saying goes, failure is the mother of success.

The more times you fail, the more experience you gain.

By summarizing, you'll know where you missed something, what you need to pay more attention to, where you can't run, and where you can't go.

I used to take care of my younger sister all by myself.

My younger sister is a burden; she's physically weak and mentally unstable.

Now that we have two more helpers, we should be able to escape, right?

"What about Yae Village?" Mei asked. "What about the villagers of Yae Village?"

"This?" Yae Sakura thought for a moment and said, "Didn't that professor you mentioned have a solution?"

"I believe she can definitely help us solve this, right?"

"I know that running away probably won't do much good."

"The matter will not be resolved."

"But!" Yae Sakura said, "Can't we just miss this period of time?"

"Maybe things will get better after we get through this period."

"Right?! Right?!"

Chapter 279 Please, My Lord

She's here! She's here!

She came carrying a greatsword.

Kallen wields the greatsword.

There's nothing we can do about it.

What can I do if I don't have a gun? I only have Curry Stick, so I'll just have to make do.

As for that Chief Priest...

All he could see was that Kallen seemed to be carrying something.

Of course, the same is true for everyone else.

The Chief Priest looked at the arrogant man carrying something, as if he had just smashed it right in front of them.

I don't recognize it, but this is terrible!

This is the feeling of dying!

"What?" Kallen said arrogantly, carrying her Curry Stick. "Hey, Chief Priest of this shrine, since you think this is an honor, why don't you go and explain it to the gods yourself?"

"Because I am also responsible for conveying the voice of the gods." The Chief Priest tried to appear calm.

The Chief Priest had no choice but to panic.

Although he didn't recognize the person in front of him, he remembered the pose. There was no guarantee this person wasn't cut from the same cloth as that woman!

What kind of people are they?

That woman is someone who dares to cut down samurai!

What's this?

This is treason!

According to class, tradition, and the laws here, a samurai can kill a commoner without reason. You, a commoner, can only lie down and take the blow!

Rebellion?

That's impossible!

You, a lowly commoner, dare to resist?

You've gone too far!

The Chief Priest did not know which woman belonged to which class, but it was clear that she was a woman.

These days, women are considered appendages of men. For her to dare to take a knife and kill a man is utterly outrageous!

That rebellious woman certainly wouldn't abide by any worldly etiquette.

So she really could be the one to kill someone.

The Chief Priest was constantly worried about which woman would appear.
