Sirin, whose reaction was slightly slow, felt as though she had misheard.
Kikyo... had refused?
"I said no!"
Kikyo answered seriously once more, while removing Sirin's hand from her body.
"Why?"
This time, Sirin had heard clearly, but she was somewhat confused. Why refuse...? Sirin thought her relationship with Kikyo was quite good.
"There's no reason."

"I don't know."
Luo Hao simply shook her head.
"It's fine, Master. If Sister Kikyo doesn't want to, I'm willing to be Master's miko!"

"Older sister, do you want to see the Kagura Dance? I can go learn it from Sister Kikyo!"
"Sure! But let's get moving first. Kikyo has already gone far ahead!"
Looking at Kikyo's back in the distance, Sirin felt that she seemed a little unhappy. Had she said something wrong?
"Okay!"

On the dirt road leading from Kaede Village to the villages outside, a colossal one-eyed, two-horned demon over ten meters tall blocked the way.
Many humans could be seen lying on the road. Some were already dead, while a few were barely alive. Quite a bit of merchandise was also scattered carelessly across the
