I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

The monk Yuanzheng clashed with a powerful yokai a few days ago, resulting in severe injuries. The temple's seal has begun to loosen, and those hundred demons are sure to seize this opportunity to escape their confinement and wreak havoc on the human world.

That's why they sent someone to invite the now-famous Miko Kikyo to purify the yokai.

"Purify a hundred demons?"

This is great? I was just worrying about how to grind through the remaining yokai, and now this...

Over the past year, thanks to Yae Sakura intentionally taking on missions, there aren't many yokai left in the entire Musashi Province.

Even if there are, they're all hiding very well!

The only ones left... are those sealed by humans. This time is perfect! I can complete the bounty missions.

Over the past year, Yae Sakura hasn't been slacking off. Her swordsmanship and skills are basically proficient, and she's also been learning Miko magic from Kikyo.

Especially Kikyo's barrier techniques.

What she learned from the Valkyrie Witch of the Fallen were mostly combat skills; other skills were severely lacking.

Kikyo, however, was different. As a legitimate Miko, she was involved not only in exorcism but also in barriers, seals, blessings, and guiding souls to peace...

These were all things Yae Sakura lacked, so she, along with the little girl by Kikyo's side, Kikyo's younger sister Kaede, learned from Kikyo.

However, in terms of progress... it could only be said that she had learned only a little bit.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that everything was ready, Kikyo said calmly.

"Huh? Kaede is coming too?" Yae Sakura suddenly noticed that Kaede, the little Miko who had woken her up, was also packing her luggage as if preparing to join them.

Normally, Kikyo wouldn't bring Kaede on missions like exorcism.

"Yes, she should also get some experience with these things now."

"That's true." Although Kaede was only a few years old, she would be an adult in just a few more years.

Then... this commission...

[Received Commission Mission: Purify a Hundred Demons]

[Reward: 3 Crystals]

Three crystals, not bad!

Monk Yuanzheng's village wasn't too far from Kaede Village, though not close either, about ten kilometers away.

It would take Yae Sakura, Kikyo, and Kaede about one to two hours to walk there.

Along the way, they basically didn't encounter any yokai. Yae Sakura would have welcomed encountering yokai, but now all the yokai in Musashi Province and even the surrounding countries knew that there was a half-demon Miko who specialized in killing yokai here.

In the past, many overconfident yokai would come to their doorstep to provoke them, but now they all stayed as far away as possible.
