Humanity, Welcome the Arrival of the Gods!

Sawamura Sayuri nodded thoughtfully.

Yukinoshita Family?

Eriri's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this surname.

Could it be that woman?

Quan and she met again, and they really hit it off.

The girl gritted her teeth.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at its destination.

"Mrs. Sawamura, please come this way."

The greeters, of course, knew the many celebrities attending the event beforehand, and came over to greet the Sawamura family after recognizing them.

"Eriri, I won't stay with you guys... There's still time, so you should play with Izumi-kun for a while."

Before turning away, Sawamura Sayuri gave her daughter a final reminder.

"Stop nagging!"

Eriri muttered to herself.

A short while later, another car stopped at the intersection.

Several people walked out from there.

"Yukino, I'm going to meet up with Mom. You can accompany Hasegawa to see the festival; it's been so long, we should catch up... Goodbye~"

"Wait... wait a minute."

Before Yukinoshita Yukino could react, her older sister Haruno abandoned her and ran to the side.

This is a bit awkward.

Doesn't this turn into a date for two?

Fortunately, someone quickly ran over and interrupted their reverie.

"It's been a long time, Yukinoshita- kun."

Eriri narrowed her eyes, staring at the other person with a hint of hostility.

"Sawamura-san -kun."

Yukinoshita Yukino sensed this hostility, but remained somewhat nonchalant.

In her view, this hostility was completely unnecessary.

Although Hasegawa was indeed her savior and she wanted to express her gratitude, she would never repay him in the way her sister suggested, by offering herself to him.

"Who is this...?"

She looked at another, even smaller girl.

"Kukuku, I am Resis·Vi·Felicity·Kou, the great True Ancestor Vampire!"

Kōko stretched out her right hand and made a gesture in front of her eyes.

"My little Little Sister, Kōko."

A brief introduction to Hasegawa Izumi.

"I see... No wonder you're siblings, your styles are quite similar."

Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a moment, then a smile quickly appeared on her cool face.

"Alright, it's time for us to go in. Kōko, are you hungry? There's lots of delicious food at the festival."

Eriri suspiciously observed the relationship between the two, and after confirming that there was nothing suspicious about it, she turned to Kōko and gave him a very friendly, even slightly ingratiating, smile.

"An excellent offering?"

Kōko's mind flashed through classic snacks such as candied apples, chocolate bananas, fried noodles, and sashimi-shaped fried fish cakes, and drool involuntarily dripped from the corner of her mouth.

As dusk fell, the sky darkened.

On this large, flat area, a brightly lit festival was set up, with all sorts of shops lining both sides of the road.

The flow of people on the main road was also increasing, some of them still wearing kimonos and Yukata, laughing and chatting, creating a harmonious scene.

"Marvelous!"

Kōko held a cotton candy in one hand and a candied apple in the other, taking a bite every now and then with a happy expression.

"Eriri, what do you want to eat?"

Ranba Hasegawa Izumi showed her concern.

"Hmm... I'll have sashimi-yaki then."

Eriri thought for a moment and said.

The four of them arrived at the food stall.

"This guest is yours."

"It's my treat."

After paying, Hasegawa Izumi took a serving of sashimi-shaped fish cake from the shop owner and handed it to Eriri.

"Hmph, it's not like I can't afford it... Well, thank you."

The girl said haughtily, then chose to accept it.

"So sweet."

She took a bite, the flavor of the red bean paste tantalizing her taste buds, and she couldn't help but exclaim it out.

Although there was one unrelated person present, this festival finally made up for what was missing from the summer festival.

That's what makes her satisfied.

Half an hour later.

"Yukinoshita you're attending the festival, why don't you experience it for yourself?"

Eriri noticed that someone hadn't said a single extra word the whole time, but she couldn't help but ask out of concern.

"Although your concern is somewhat unnecessary, I understand."

Yukinoshita Yukino accepted the offer, though she felt a little awkward about it.

Eriri pouted.

This guy's attitude is really annoying.

After walking a few steps, Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze was drawn to the goldfish in the tank.

Attending such a festival for the first time was quite novel for the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family.

"Oh, you want to catch goldfish? You're such a child."

Eriri followed her gaze.

"I want to play too!"

Kōko was very interested.

"Then let's have a contest to see who can catch more goldfish. And if the loser... there's no penalty."

"Hasegawa Izumi said jokingly."

"Then let's give it a try."

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"Alright, I'll play along with you guys."

Eriri pouted, but still joined in.

The result was brutal; apart from Hasegawa, the others had a hard time even catching a single goldfish.

"This paper net is rather cunning."

Yukinoshita Yukino was also provoked. She frowned and looked at the paper net in her hand. She couldn't help but use her ability to freeze the paper net and scoop the goldfish out.

Only then did a faint smile appear on her face.

"Alright, it's time. We should go attend the opening ceremony of the festival."

After a while, Eriri secretly glanced at the time and remembered.

Soon, following the direction the crowd was heading, they arrived at the end of the road.

Many celebrities, nobles, and important figures from wealthy families are looking up at something below.

There was a high platform that attracted everyone's attention. Four pieces of red cloth were thrown down from it, and red lanterns illuminated the surrounding area. There was also a huge red rock on the platform.

Suddenly, a seductive figure leaped up, easily traversing a height of ten meters.

"Hey, that person looks like the 'fan service girl' who cosplayed Tamamo-no-Mae before. Is she the superhuman she hired?"

Eriri recognized the other person immediately upon seeing their luxurious and alluring makeup and appearance.

Just as she and the others were surprised, Tamamo-no-Mae on the high platform uttered astonishing words.

"Welcome everyone to the event hosted by me, Tamamo-no-Mae..."

"Slaughter Festival."

120

Chapter 120 Humans, welcome the arrival of the gods!

"Slaughter Festival? Wasn't it supposed to be New Year Festival?"

When was the name of the festival changed?

"By the way, is this Tamamo-no-Mae cosplaying? She's so beautiful, it looks just like the real thing."

"By the way, how did she jump so high all of a sudden? I didn't even see any wires!"

The crowd below had various expressions, still confused about the situation, and were buzzing with discussion.

Even some celebrities and wealthy family members who knew the inside story were completely baffled. They asked others for information, but some of them looked serious, sensing that something was wrong, and became wary.

"What are you trying to do! This isn't what we agreed on, don't do anything reckless."

The head of the Natsukawa Family yelled at the people on the stage above.

"Reckless behavior?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's rosy lips curved slightly, her alluring eyes revealing a hint of sinister contempt as she spoke from a position of looking down upon humanity.

"Now that things have come to this, I no longer need to hide it from you. Foolish humans, deluding yourselves into thinking you can master extraordinary power, you might as well become pigs and sheep in the pen, providing us with entertainment and sustenance for our triumphant advance on the path to transcendence."

"Today, I will use your flesh and blood, your souls, your resentment to help me ascend to a higher realm and see even more magnificent scenery."

"This is the truth behind the so-called festival; it should be called Slaughter Festival."

At this moment, apart from the ignorant ordinary people, those who knew about the changes in the world all looked extremely grim.

Little did anyone expect that this gathering was actually a conspiracy.

What's even more alarming is...

"Wait a minute, the main force behind this mobilization was clearly the government agencies!"

"How could that be? Could it be that they betrayed us?"

"What exactly are you?!"

While everyone was shocked, some couldn't help but question him.

"According to your classification, it should be considered a so-called 'demon'."

Tamamo-no-Mae tossed her ink-black hair with one hand, her expression somewhat flirtatious and playful.

"What are you talking about?!"

"Is this some kind of TV show being filmed?"

Listening to the incomprehensible conversation between the two sides, the ordinary people in the crowd were still confused about what was going on.
