I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"Follow me!"

As for Yae Sakura, she didn't feel at ease, but she trusted Xia Ji's words completely.

By now, the sky had long since darkened. They had been walking along the path Kikyo chose for over half an hour before arriving at a village.

This village was very small, home to only about a hundred people.

Most of the buildings looked fragile, as if a strong gust of wind could blow them down; the majority were mere thatched huts.

However, the villagers had already turned in for the night, so they didn't encounter any trouble upon entering. Kikyo led the two of them directly to an abandoned shrine.

Although the roof of this derelict shrine was a bit tattered, it still looked much better than the thatched huts they had passed earlier.

"We'll rest here for the night. This shrine has long been abandoned." Kikyo set down her luggage.

"Mm."

Although the place wasn't much, there was some dried grass on the floor, which was undoubtedly better than the cave from before.

"It's very late. Xia Ji, go to sleep."

Yae Sakura arranged a makeshift bed for Xia Ji using the dried grass, then found a step and sat down herself.

"Lord Yae, you should sleep here..." Seeing Yae Sakura's actions, Xia Ji felt a bit touched.

"I told you to sleep, so sleep." Hearing this, Yae Sakura's tone grew firmer; she didn't want to waste any more breath on her.

"Yes..."

Sure enough, Xia Ji immediately quieted down.

"Here."

Just as Yae Sakura was preparing to close her eyes and rest, Kikyo suddenly took something out and tossed it to her.

"This is..."

Yae Sakura opened her eyes instantly and caught it.

Taking a closer look, it was a set of red and white miko robes.

"Even if you are a Half-Demon now, you should still have the self-awareness of a woman, especially since... you are also a miko. This is a spare set of mine; see if it fits. If you still consider yourself a miko, that is..."

"Uh..."

Clothes... that Kikyo had worn?

Though... the figure seemed about the same!

It's just...

I remember when Kagome traveled here, her school uniform skirt was about the same length as mine, right?
