I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 442 Preparing for War
Highly skilled in sorcery

Principal's office.

"I already know about this."

Yu, who was sitting behind his desk, put down the mirror in his hand. Although he sits here every day, when it comes to understanding the extraordinary world, it is 'almost' impossible for anyone to know more about it than him.

As for whether the Ashiya family actually possessed this technique of remotely monitoring with mirrors, only Ashiya Dōman himself probably knows for sure.

"What instructions do you have, Mr. Yu?"

Director Zhu Ya adopted a subordinate's posture, personally coming to "consult" You because of the two students.

"It's interesting to be sent out by a 'teammate' using the vital point teleportation mechanism."

As the principal in charge of the overall situation, if developing a 'demigod plane' results in heavy casualties among the students, even disregarding the impact, wouldn't it be a loss of face for him? Besides, these are all excellent 'oxen and horses,' and there's no need to waste them recklessly.

Therefore, Yu gave everyone a mechanism that would cause them to exit the demiplane if their 'life is threatened'.

But now, two students who were not 'life-threatening' were sent out by their teammates using this mechanism.

"Yes, so both students hope to be able to enter the 'demiplane' again."

Director Zhu Ya continued the conversation,
Under normal circumstances, a high-ranking official like him wouldn't get involved in such matters.

However, the two students who were sent out were somewhat special: the first student was 'Kagome Higurashi'.

He has a close relationship with Inuyasha, a key figure in the demi-plane, and was sent out by him. Inuyasha had previously been in contact with Totosai, and the two were old acquaintances: considering that he had forged two extraordinary swords for the Metropolitan Police Department, the department could not ignore him.

The second student is 'Snowy May'. She is on friendly terms with the 'Seven', an extraordinary mercenary organization in the demiplane. The Seven also possesses many technologies that the Metropolitan Police Department covets: human modification and extraordinary drugs. If it weren't for the potential negative impact, the Metropolitan Police Department would have wanted to detain them.

As the students began to stir up trouble, the battle in the demiplane intensified.

The teleportation mechanism based on 'life being threatened' is not unbreakable. For example, latent viruses, chronically erupting toxins, or even possession by evil spirits can bypass the mechanism and kill the students after being teleported back—this is why Kagome Higurashi was sent back.

As for Yukino Satsuki, according to her, she was sent back because she "delayed the battle," but the Metropolitan Police Department's psychology experts, after analysis, unanimously concluded that:
The seven-man team was 'protecting' her because the enemy they were facing was too powerful, and there was a high possibility of heavy casualties or even total annihilation.

In this situation, it's not hard to understand why Yukino Satsuki, who is 'soft-hearted,' was sent back.

As for why those mercenaries didn't retreat?

That's their creed.

A true master always has their own principles; those who are too adaptable and flexible in dealing with situations will find it difficult to break through on the path to extraordinary achievement.

"So, Yu-kun..."

"Can we give them a chance?"

Logically speaking, once you are eliminated from the demiplane, you lose the opportunity to re-enter.

These are the rules set by Yu, but as the saying goes, since the rules were set by Yu, breaking them is just a matter of his word.

"Um,"

Yu touched her chin.

He was naturally aware of the situation of these two women and understood that they were both involved in the core of the conflict.

So--

"can."

"But now that they're out, they should rest for two days before going back: with their strength, frequent time travel would cause irreversible damage."

"Injury? I'm not afraid—"

"Yukino-san, this is the principal's kind intention."

Director Zhu Ya raised her hand to interrupt the high school girl's urgent words.

"At the same time, this is already a lenient measure: considering your special circumstances."

"I'm sorry, Director."

Yukino Satsuki also came to her senses. As a student, even if her family was somewhat wealthy, she was still nothing but an ant in front of a big shot like Director Takeya, let alone the principal. Giving them this opportunity was already more than enough.

"I was confused, but... but..."

"I know,"

Director Zhu Ya patted the girl on the shoulder to comfort her.

"You are worried about those friends, but you also have to believe in them; they are not weak."

"Take a couple of days to calm down and think about how to deal with your friend's 'good intentions,' while making full preparations."

After saying that, Director Zhu Ya casually added a sentence.

"If all else fails, let them stay here."

This is exactly what the government aims for!

Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter.

The 'main world' is also in a mess right now. It would be good to have more helpers, but it's okay if we can't.

"Thank you, Director."

As for Kagome Higurashi on the other side, she was still in a daze.

Inuyasha once had a woman he loved who looked exactly like him; they turned against each other because of an enemy, resulting in one of them dying and the other being sealed away. However, recently, the woman who had been dead was resurrected by the witch Rita, and the former enemy came after him.

In this chaotic situation, Inuyasha actually 'attacked' her, sending her directly back to the main world.

Seriously, all those past battles, hugs, and the way he looked at me.
So what?!

"Damn Inuyasha—"

?

"Wait, Higurashi-kun."

Yukino Satsuki, who was about to leave, was surprised to hear the name of the 'mission target' from this junior student.

"The Inuyasha you just mentioned, doesn't he have an older brother named Sesshomaru?"

?

This time,
Kagome Higurashi was surprised.

How did you know?

wrong,

That 'demiplane' wasn't very big.
Neither the monsters nor these 'students' are the kind of people who stay in one village their whole lives; it's normal for them to have interactions with each other.

For example, the 'Kakaiin Miroku' used his 'shikigami' Saimei to gather all sorts of information.

"Yes, Inuyasha does have an older brother."

"What about you, senior? What's your stance?"

After all, he had spent so long in that 'demigod plane' where death was commonplace.

Even if Kagome Higurashi is slow-witted, she's not entirely unprepared: even if it's someone from this world who's her 'classmate'.

Inuyasha doesn't have many 'friends'. The only one he can be considered related to, his 'brother' Sesshomaru, is someone he fought to the death with the moment they met. It's really hard to say whether this senior is friend or foe.

"I"

"My brothers and I have taken on a mission." In order to gather information, Yukino Satsuki had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Kill the great demon brothers named Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.”

This was the mission that Mangu and his group had taken on; for them, it was their way of survival. Yukino Satsuki didn't stop them, but now she regretted it: the opponent was too strong!
"Given the personalities of my friends, they will definitely continue to try to complete the mission."

If he were to face Sesshomaru again, his fate would be uncertain.

"what?"

"Sesshomaru is one thing, but why Inuyasha too?"

Kagome was shocked. As the heir to the 'Western Country', Sesshomaru had such a cold personality that it was normal for him to have enemies all over the world.

But Inuyasha was sealed away for fifty years, and he was also an unwanted wild child.

Who wants to kill him?
"Yes"

Mangu and his group have 'professional ethics,' but Yukino Satsuki doesn't.

“A guy named 'Naraku'.”

"It's him?!"

That's not what led to Inuyasha and...
Was he the culprit behind the falling out?

"This world is so chaotic,"

In the principal's office, Nagisa Ichiyo carefully observed the situation of the 'demiplane' through the mirror in her hand.

A tech-savvy guy is training a new 'arquebus squad' and has also built a new ironworks to produce plate armor using stamping technology. Although these things are not very useful in front of experts, as long as the grunts are taken care of, the experts will naturally be dealt with by the samurai of the Takeda clan.

In the mirror, the daimyo of the Takeda family bestowed upon the student named Morikawa Tomoyuki a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud and was also associated with the name "Demon Woman".

With this sword, this student can be considered a true 'samurai'.

"It's really chaotic,"

Xiao Ying held a mirror while diligently writing her report.

"I hope this 'priest' classmate can achieve final victory."

She was observing the 'priest' under the command of Inari, who was theoretically her subordinate, but the other party did not even have the right to see her.

"It's not because the other person is my person, but because being able to eat well is the greatest happiness for ordinary people in this world."

Looking at the world in the mirror, Xiao Ying couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

Although the 'main world' they lived in was chaotic,
At least there's no problem getting enough to eat, and there's no shortage of all kinds of enjoyment.

However, in the world reflected in the mirror: ordinary families start working in the fields at the age of five, and after the daimyo takes away two-thirds of their grain, they can barely survive; if they encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities, or monsters rampage, their families will be destroyed in an instant.

The Takeda clan only accepted half of the money, which already earned them a reputation for 'benevolence and righteousness'.

The core of Inari's divine magic is not healing, but controlling plants!

While important in the main world, it's not exactly breathtaking; but in this small world—

Ordinary people who have witnessed the 'miracle' of Inari worship this 'god of abundance' with fervor: they will do anything as long as they can be fed!

Indeed, after occupying more than a dozen villages and towns, that 'priest' was granted a divine technique called 'Fox Prayer Technique', which allows him to summon the offspring of Hakuzosu: these grown foxes all have traces of 'Wood Release' blood.

Most foxes can only achieve the scale of "Grass Escape" by promoting the growth of plants.
For the people of the 'Warring States Demiplane', what is it if not a miracle to see crops sprout from the ground, mature and bear fruit in just a few seconds?
The title of 'God of Abundance'

It has already spread throughout this demiplane.

The 'students' who were involved knew who was behind the name Inari God as soon as they heard it, and naturally kept their distance.

After witnessing the ceremony, some of the local daimyo even brought their entire territories under the command of Inari, creating a truly impressive force. Even among the daimyo, no one complained about having too much food: otherwise, why would they use "XX koku" to describe the size of a daimyo's territory?

Food is population.

Population equals military power, and military power equals authority!
"But the struggle for the fragments of the divine sword cannot be accomplished simply by having more people."

Nao pushed up her round-framed glasses; her eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, so these glasses were just an 'accessory'.

"In the face of true power, quantity is not of great significance."

Without a sufficient number of experts, a Tiger-level transcendent can single-handedly destroy an army; a Ghost-level transcendent can even destroy a city and a country—not to mention this Warring States period-themed demiplane, even in the main world where everyone lives, without transcendents, relying solely on a technological army would not be enough to stop a Ghost-level powerhouse.

"So who do you think will get the fragment of the divine sword? Or—"

Everyone turned their heads.

His gaze fell on You, who was behind the desk.

"Not urgent,"

The fragments of the Kusanagi Sword that formed the 'Kusanagi Fang' are actually:

Since You hasn't 'created' it yet, there's no need to rush it, and there's no way to rush it.

"Perhaps in the end, no one will get that sword?"

?

"France celebrates the completion of Notre Dame's reconstruction,"

Unlike the others who were seriously discussing the future of the 'demigod plane', Qiong Mei was eating snacks while scrolling through her phone.

"After five years of restoration, it will reopen—unfortunately, given France's actions, if Yahweh were to respond, it would probably be with a great flood?"

Yes, Notre Dame Cathedral, which was destroyed by fire, has finally been restored and reopened. Unfortunately, given France's series of disgraceful actions, Yahweh probably wouldn't even bother to look at it. If they want to be granted a "holy sword" again, they might as well go rob someone in England!
England is no pushover either. Princess Charlotte is a good person, that's true, but the others have no scruples whatsoever.
Aside from no longer daring to conduct superhuman human experiments, they have come up with all sorts of other methods, engaging in open and covert struggles with France, making quite a spectacle.

"And, the regime in a Middle Eastern country was overthrown, with the shadows of many major powers behind it."

"Don't worry about them,"

Yu remained calm and waved her hand in response to the news.

"We can just watch the show: if hundreds of political parties in a country fight each other, it's no wonder it becomes a battleground for great powers to compete."

After learning a little about the Middle East, Yu had no desire to even get involved: tiny countries, barely the size of a palm, have over two hundred political parties, all of which have been attacked on their own soil and are still embroiled in internal strife.

A dozen or so countries, that's thousands of political parties, fighting amongst themselves like dogs, unable to even achieve the most basic unity. They're not even as good as the Western "slipper army."

That kind of place really needs a strong-willed figure who dares to 'initiate the rumble'.

Yu didn't have the time to deal with that because:

"These fragments are related to the Three Divine Artifacts."

The sword of Ame no Murakumo!

This weapon of Susanoo was obtained by 'slaying monsters and getting equipment' from the tail of the Yamata no Orochi; it is extremely powerful and, according to legend, is the asset that enabled the island nation's royal family to sweep away all kinds of 'Kutsugami'.

Besides the students, some people have also secretly set their sights on the demiplane.

For example, a certain person with conjunctivitis who was misled by the Great Tengu.

For example, a certain young lady—

"Fragments of the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi?"

In a secret warehouse in Tokyo's Minato Ward, Kusora Yua, who had secretly run back, looked surprised, but then became interested.

This magical artifact is truly destined for her!
