I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"Help!"

Just as Zhao Baiyou was about to move, a scream rang out from not far away.

This desolate mountain wilderness... where did someone come from?

Zhao Baiyou froze, then quickly stood up... put on her socks and shoes, picked up her blade, and walked over.

Before long... Zhao Baiyou arrived at the spot and found a kimono-clad girl running frantically, with several weapon-wielding yokai chasing behind her.

"Save me, save me."

The girl was in a state of panic, gasping for breath, her eyes filled with exhaustion. The yokai, like predators eyeing their prey, swiftly surrounded her in a tight circle.

But just then... Zhao Baiyou walked over with her blade in hand, and all the yokai immediately turned to look at her.

"A human? No! A yokai..."

"Looks like a shrine maiden? But that shrine maiden outfit is way too shameless!"

"There's a human scent—it's a half-breed! Haha..."

Seeing "Yae Sakura" step forward, the yokai warily watched the approaching fox-eared shrine maiden, but when they sensed the human aura on Yae Sakura, they immediately burst into laughter.

"A half-breed... just a measly half-breed, and it dares to interrupt us lords? Let's eat it together!"

In this world, yokai looked down on half-breeds, humans rejected them, and the fate of all half-breeds was tragic.

"Half-breed..." The kimono-clad girl, surrounded, stared at Yae Sakura. She had thought she was saved, but the one who came was still a yokai.

Though this yokai was very beautiful!

But now, learning that this beautiful yokai before her was actually a half-breed, she couldn't help but feel a flicker of strange hope.

"Half-breed? Indeed, just a mere half-breed!" Yae Sakura said, unfazed. Setting aside the fact that Yae Sakura wasn't a half-breed, even if she were, so what?

Nura Rikuo was also a half-breed, yet he was still the Master of Yokai.

"A mere half-breed brat dares to be so arrogant? Seize her!"

A demon roared, its face blue and fangs bared, radiating an intangible terror.

Several yokai strode directly toward Yae Sakura.

"Hmph!"

Watching the yokai approach, Yae Sakura kept a calm expression on her face, but inwardly she was extremely nervous. Though she possessed the power of an SSS-rank Witch of the Fallen, she had never faced legendary yokai before!
