"N-noisy...?"
The White Snake Sage froze.
In her thousand-plus years of life, this was the first time she had ever heard such a word directed at her.
So her first reaction was not anger, but bewilderment and disbelief.
The Three Divine Maidens were stunned as well.
How dared this human...?!
"Hissssss!"

Tagorihime irritably slapped her.
"Get a grip! You're a Divine Princess of Ryūchi Cave! Why
