A few days ago, Priest Touzheng had fought a powerful demon and suffered severe injuries. The temple's seals had begun to loosen, and the Hundred Demons would surely seize this chance to escape their confinement and harm the human world.
That was why he had sent someone to invite the now-famous Miko Kikyo to purify the demons.
"Purify the Hundred Demons?"
Such a good opportunity? She had been worrying about how to grind the remaining demons, and now they had come to her...
Over the past year, Yae Sakura had deliberately farmed missions. Now, throughout Musashi Province, there were barely any demons left.
Even if there were, they hid themselves extremely well!
The only ones left... were the demons sealed away by others. This was perfect! She could complete the Bounty Mission.
Over the past year, Yae Sakura had not slacked off. She had basically mastered her swordsmanship and skills, while also learning... Miko techniques from Kikyo.
Especially Kikyo's barrier techniques.
The skills she had obtained from the Valkyrie Witch of the Fallen were mostly for killing enemies; she lacked other types of skills.
Kikyo was different. As a proper Miko, she was versed not only in exorcism, but also in barriers, sealing, blessings, requiems...
These were all things Yae Sakura lacked, so she studied under Kikyo together with the little girl by Kikyo's side—Kikyo's younger sister, Kaede.
But as for her progress... she could only say she had learned the basics.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that it was about time, Kikyo said calmly.
"Huh? Kaede is coming too?" Yae Sakura suddenly noticed that the little Miko Kaede, who had woken her up, was also carrying luggage as though she were preparing to come along.
Normally, Kikyo would not bring Kaede along on missions like demon extermination.
"Mm. It's time for her to see these things for herself."
"That's true." Although Kaede was only a few years old, she would be an adult in just a few more years.
Then... this time's Commission Mission...
Commission Mission obtained: Purify the Hundred Demons Reward: 3 Crystal
Three Crystal—not bad!
Priest Touzheng's village was not too far from Kaede Village, though it was not exactly close either—a journey of more than ten kilometers.
Yae Sakura followed Kikyo as she brought Kaede along. It would take them around one or two hours on foot.
Along the way, they basically did not encounter any demons. Yae Sakura would have welcomed any demons they came across. But now, demons throughout Musashi Province and even the surrounding countries knew that there was a Half-Demon Miko here who specialized in killing demons.
There had once been many overconfident demons who came to provoke her, but now they fled as far away as they could.
