She had not reacted at all before her Tenshu-kaku was reduced to ruins, and she had nearly been seriously injured herself.
Takiyasha Hime cautiously surveyed her surroundings. At the same time, her hands traced runes as she chanted a terrifying, evil curse that sounded maddening simply to hear.
"In the name of the venerable one, return! Aragami!"
The next moment, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a gigantic skeletal giant crawled out from beneath the earth.
Takiyasha Hime stopped moving and leaped onto the skeletal giant's head, Golden Pill in hand.
"Huh! Aragami? Then you must be that... Takiyasha Hime?"
A pleasant female voice rang out, causing Takiyasha Hime to look over with even greater vigilance.
There she saw... a white-haired girl as lofty and exalted as a deity, walking toward her step by step through the air.
Seeing the girl's cold, proud golden eyes, Takiyasha Hime's heartbeat could not help but quicken. The one before her... was not human.
Nor was she a demon...
"Who are you? An envoy from Takama-ga-hara?"
Takiyasha Hime directed Aragami to crawl completely out of the ground while continuously communicating with Queen Himiko in her mind. From the girl before her, Takiyasha Hime sensed deadly danger.
"An envoy from Takama-ga-hara? No, no... I'm not one of those so-called gods, nor do I come from Takama-ga-hara."
The girl... Sirin, stared at Takiyasha Hime atop Aragami's head, a trace of surprise flashing through her eyes. Sirin had not expected... Takiyasha Hime to be so beautiful.
If Tsubaki's appearance could already be considered outstanding, then Takiyasha Hime before her... could be called perfect. Even compared to Sirin's current appearance... she was no less beautiful.
Her lovely little face wore no makeup, yet she was still enchantingly captivating. Delicate yet refreshingly refined, she was radiant as peach blossoms
