She's My Shrine Maiden

"Sorry! I went out of my body again. It always happens like this..."

Iki Hiyori looked at her own body and noticed that both Seele and Aso Yuna seemed able to see her soul. She relaxed a little.

There were plenty of perks to having her soul leave her body, but losing control like this was far too dangerous, especially when she was outside.

If someone ended up "picking up her corpse," then the consequences...

"It's fine, but when will you recover?"

Seele did not seem particularly bothered. She merely checked the time. It was already past five in the afternoon; if this dragged on too long...

"Well... I'm not really sure. Maybe it'll be soon, or maybe..." Iki Hiyori's out-of-body episodes were unpredictable.

"That's a bit troublesome. It wouldn't be convenient for your body to keep sleeping here, and we need to return to the shrine. How about you come back to the shrine with us first?

Besides, with the shrine's protection, you'll be safer in your current state as a living soul that attracts spirits and monsters."

Iki Hiyori's current state was somewhat similar to Aso Yuna's. However, Aso Yuna attracted spirits and monsters with her entire being, body and soul alike, whereas Iki Hiyori mainly attracted monsters through her wandering living soul.

"Well... I guess that's the only option for now! But how do we get there?"

Iki Hiyori had no objections after hearing Seele's suggestion. At the very least, Seele did not seem like a bad person.

"I'll help you walk!"

Although Seele looked as though she lacked strength, she was still a Valkyrie. Supporting a girl was no problem at all.

"Ah! Then I'll be in your care!"

"You're fifteen now? You're only one year older than me, yet you're already in high school.
