Let's Keep It Simple: Come Be the Young Lady.

After Satou Yunona and Theresa established communication and unlocked the restrictions on the use of their powers, the three's discussion came to an end.

In short, the conclusion is that Satou Yunona played the role of Kambara Yuu, who pretended to worship the Living Doll.

The moment Satou Yunona was closest to the Living Doll was the moment she made her move.

This was a plan that sounded crude and full of flaws at first glance, but Kambara Shuichi's explanation convinced the two of them to accept his opinion.

There is no doubt that the Living Doll themselves can distinguish the bloodline of the Kambara Family.

That's why Kambara Yuu is forced to stay in the ancestral home.

The reason why Kambara Shuichi did not choose to fight to the death with the Living Doll was because the Living Doll's behavioral logic meant that it would never touch Kambara Yuu before the sacrifice.

The reason is that even though it was impatient or so hungry that it needed to absorb the blood of several ordinary people to stay alive, it did not choose to harm Kambara Yuu.

This patience and discipline are like saving the best food for last.

The way this Living Doll suppresses itself is through killing.

In Su Qing'an's view, the practice of making Living Doll is as meticulous as peeling all the shells off crayfish before eating them together.

In a sense, is this a genuine spirituality or simply an inertia stemming from the way Living Doll exists?

If we consider the former perspective, then Living Doll are indeed quite special.

In short, the nature of the Living Doll dictates that it will not refuse Satou Yunona as the priestess, as long as the time is moved to an earlier date than usual on the Day of Sacrifice.

Before the time comes for the Living Doll to truly devour the Kambara Yuu, it will naturally not refuse a meal offered to it.

The key to this plan is that the Kambara Family's ritual is to be held in front of the villagers at the shrine where the gods are enshrined. For three days, the entire village will take turns guarding the shrine where the ritual is to be held.

Based on Kambara Shuichi's previous statements, the Kanbara family was practically being forced to sacrifice their own flesh and blood and lives to maintain the village's faith.

In theory, although Satou Yunona and Kambara Yuu are both 15 years old, the difference in their appearance should be easy to see.

However, Kambara Shuichi stated that the people of Kambara Village had never seen Kambara Yuu.

The reason was that the man loathed everything about the village, and from the moment his daughter was born, he did everything he could to prevent her from having any contact with the villagers.

He would never have allowed his daughter to stay in such a place if it weren't for the Living Doll, but even so, his men formed a defensive line near the ancestral home.

Hand grenades, pistols, fully automatic rifles, bulletproof vests, and riot shields were all readily available. The villagers themselves were nothing special. If it weren't for the existence of the Living Doll, Kambara Shuichi could have easily plowed through Kambara Village and pinned everyone to the ground.

In fact, on the day of the sacrifice ten years ago, Kambara Shuichi led several hundred of his men and equipped them to Kambara Village, intending to suppress the villagers who wanted to sacrifice his father.

Then the Living Doll appeared. It did almost nothing, but just glanced at Kambara Shuichi and his subordinates, and everyone lost control of their emotions, howling and rolling on the spot, losing their ability to fight.

Kambara Shuichi was unaffected, but several villagers held him up. He roared and howled, but in the end, he could only helplessly watch as his father was led into the shrine by Living Doll to have his blood drained.

Kambara Shuichi can never forget how he endured those three hellish days. The smile and comforting look his father gave him before entering the shrine were nothing short of a tormenting Kambara Shuichi.

From that day on, half of this man's spine was broken.

Even if Satou Yunona and Su Qing'an understood what the villagers had done, they could not fully comprehend even half of the hatred in Kambara Shuichi's heart.

But when they arrive at Kambara Village, they might be able to understand something deeper.

Kambara Village is an extremely xenophobic village, Kambara Shuichi suggests that Su Qing'an go with them as the heir who will inherit the old butler's position in the future.

So he is now learning some basic etiquette from the old butler in order to sneak into Kambara Village as the new butler.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Satou Yunona was somewhat dazed. Her originally light purple hair had been dyed black, and her emerald green eyes were now covered with black contact lenses. She pursed her bright red lips.

Since becoming Pseudo-Herrscher, her body has undergone some subtle changes. The speed at which she trains to improve her physical strength is noticeably different from that of a normal person. Her hair seems to grow faster, and her metabolic function has been greatly slowed down. Although she still needs to eat, this body's energy intake should come more from Honkai Energy.

The girl has developed an almost subconscious indifference towards humans; only the emotions generated by past memories can sustain the normalcy of her personality.

Her skin had become excessively delicate and fair, and the coldness in her eyes seemed impossible to dispel even through her colored contact lenses.

The girl in the mirror, with black hair and black eyes, possessed a stunning appearance and charm.

This version of myself feels surprisingly unfamiliar.

Just like Su Qing'an, she also has black hair and black eyes. Satou Yunona suddenly realized this and couldn't help but be a little distracted.

Behind the girl was a servant of the Kambara Family, who was currently using a hairdryer to blow-dry the girl's damp hair. The light fragrance emanating from Satou Yunona was released with the hot air, and the maid felt a refreshing and pleasant sensation upon smelling it.

She lifted a strand of the girl's hair, and the hairdryer quietly emitted a suitable amount of hot air.

The maid's fingertips accidentally touched the skin of her neck, and the slightly cool touch brought her back to her senses.

She twirled a strand of hair that was no longer damp, turned off the hairdryer, and, seeing the girl's dazed expression, asked with some concern:

"Miss?"

"... Um."

"Let me take you to change your clothes."

"Good."

Satou Yunona understood the maid's reason for asking her to change clothes. The festival in Kambara Village was an extremely solemn occasion for the villagers, and wearing a specific kimono was a basic etiquette.

Although it has a strangely absurd feel to it that such ignorant and ridiculous people are talking about etiquette, it is indeed the truth.

Now, what Satou Yunona needs to do is try on the kimono to see if she can wear the armor inside.

Valkyrie armor is generally very lightweight, and many, like Kiana's, are so thin and light that they accentuate her slender curves perfectly.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, Satou Yunona's armor is not much different from Kiana's.

The root of the problem lies in the fact that when Valkyrie armor appearance selection, Kiana enthusiastically said, "Yuno, I'll help you choose."

The naive Satou Yunona said no problem.

What I received next was a set of cute body armor with cat paw prints on it. Although I do like cats, it's a bit strange to announce my hobby so openly.

Imagine Satou Yunona with a cool and aloof expression training in a bodysuit printed with cute cat paws—doesn't that create a strangely endearing contrast?

Unfortunately, the girls who felt ashamed later would wear a tracksuit over their armor as a cover-up.

At that moment, Satou Yunona stared silently at the kimono hanging on the wooden frame in front of her.
