I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

Too strong.

I wonder if I'll still be able to private message after going to other worlds. If so, that would be amazing.

The next afternoon...

After leaving the forest and asking around, Yae Sakura finally arrived at Kikyo's hometown, Kaede Village.

Perhaps it was because Yae Sakura was wearing a miko outfit! Combined with her fox ears being hidden by her cloak, the villagers of Kaede Village showed Yae Sakura great respect.

Or perhaps it was respect for her miko identity.

When Yae Sakura explained her purpose for coming, to meet the miko Kikyo, the villagers had a young boy guide her to where Kikyo lived.

Yae Sakura immediately spotted Kikyo, who was teaching a little girl archery.

"Kikyo!"

Seeing Kikyo, Yae Sakura quickly called out.

Kikyo, who was teaching the little girl, turned her head towards Yae Sakura along with the girl.

"You're... Yae Sakura?"

"That's right!"

Yae Sakura took off her cloak, revealing her fox ears, and walked over.

"Fluffy long ears!!"

The little girl beside Kikyo stared at Yae Sakura's ears in surprise and then exclaimed.

"They're fox ears!" Yae Sakura didn't seem to mind.

"What are you here for?" Kikyo asked Yae Sakura, puzzled.

"I'm homeless, so I've decided to stick with you! You don't mind, do you, Kikyo-chan?"

"Don't call me Kikyo-chan like we're close. Weren't you escorting Princess Xia Ji?"

"I've already sent her back!"

"Then why didn't you stay..." Kikyo was about to ask why Yae Sakura didn't stay with Xia Ji, but then she suddenly remembered... Yae Sakura was a half-demon, and she would surely be ostracized by humans. It was normal for her not to stay.

"You don't have anywhere to go?"

Kikyo thought for a moment... and looked calmly at Yae Sakura.

"No." She shook her head honestly.

"Then you can stay here for now. However... you must not harm the villagers, and you have to obey my orders. Can you do that?" Kikyo considered Yae Sakura's own words about her experiences. Now that she was a half-demon, she seemed unwelcome by both humans and yokai.

In Kaede Village, as long as she was here, the villagers probably wouldn't say anything.

She would take her in for now!

It was because... they were both miko.
