Just then, the arrow suddenly transformed into a beam of light, and the wound on the giant oni's forehead began to be purified.
"Roar!"
The pain of purification drove the one-eyed giant oni mad, and it flung the merchant in its hand away.
Just as the merchant was about to be smashed to death, several vines suddenly burst wildly from the ground, wrapping around him and safely lowering him to the ground.
Near the vines, a little girl with a single ponytail held an enormous dandelion and controlled the vines.
"Nice one, Yingcao!"
Yae Rin, dressed in miko robes, jogged over to the ponytailed girl and praised her excitedly.
"Actually... it was nothing. Just a small effort."
Yingcao felt a little embarrassed at Liliya's praise.
This Yingcao was the shikigami Sirin had summoned. Both Yingcao and Higanbana, whom she had obtained in the world of Nura Rikuo, could be brought along, so Sirin had kept the two little ones with her without summoning them.
Now that she had arrived in Inuyasha's world, this world of Hyakki Yagyō, Sirin gave it some thought and summoned Yingcao, who possessed healing abilities.
Yingcao soon became good friends with Kaede and Yae Rin as well.
"Exorcising Arrow!"
After the merchant was rescued, another arrow carrying even more terrifying Exorcising Spiritual Power pierced straight through the one-eyed giant oni's body.
Immediately afterward, the one-eyed giant oni was completely purified!
Kikyo did not relax as she looked at the dead one-eyed giant oni. Instead, she fell even more silent.
Ever since Kikyo and the Witch of the Fallen had appeared in Musashi Province, no yokai had dared to act too brazenly... much less openly attack humans.
How long had it been since things were this chaotic...
