From one prophecy to an eternal prophecy.

What a greedy leader!

A whisper echoed in Ziyuan's heart.

"Please forgive my intrusion, Lord Demon Shadow,"

"Your demands are far too harsh. Lady Shion is, after all, the priestess of our country!"

Just as the scene fell into a brief silence because of Huang's request, the guard standing beside the girl suddenly stepped forward and made his first protest.

The statement that the Hidden Demon Village will only wholeheartedly protect its subordinates sounds reasonable and irrefutable, but in a way, it also imposes an extremely harsh condition on those who come to seek its protection:

That is, by joining the Hidden Demon Village, Lady Ziyuan can gain protection.

Although he didn't particularly like his guard job, and wasn't so righteous as to be willing to die for it.

However, her family once received the favor of Shion's mother, and it can even be said that the entire Oni Kingdom lived under the grace of the former priestess!

Therefore, no matter how much he disliked or rejected her, he would still do his best to protect Lady Shion and desperately uphold her dignity.

"Please provide the normal cost required for this commission. I will find a way to raise the funds, no matter what."

"Please!!"

As she made her request, Azusa knelt down again before the young leader in the main seat, her bowed head feeling the coldness of the ground.

"The normal cost?"

“I thought you, who served by the side of the priestess, had the ability to discern, but now it seems that you are even more arrogant than she is.”

Ara scoffed at the plea of ​​the demon kingdom guard and showed no intention of accepting it whatsoever.

Monsters from another world

Although he didn't know the specific abilities of that so-called demon.

However, since it was able to wreak havoc on the ninja world at that time, it must have been a disaster of the [Kage] level or above. Any ruler with a clear mind would not easily allow this calamity to be directed at their own territory first.

Such an answer made Zu Sui's heart tighten suddenly. She was about to raise her head to refute it, but the further question that entered her ears directly plunged her into the cold abyss.

"Do you think that the lives of the ninjas of my Hidden Demon Village and the lives of the residents of the Land of Hot Water can be measured in money?"

Upon hearing this, the man's face turned ashen.

A profound sense of helplessness was also evident in the eyes behind the glasses.

Yes.

The reason why the priestess immediately set off from the Land of Demons after sensing something was that her most basic intention was to draw the potential disaster away from her homeland.

According to impressions and rumors, the Uchiha clan are arrogant and haughty. When faced with challenges or threats from so-called strongmen or evil spirits, they will inevitably have the urge to fight back.

Unexpectedly, the other side always put the lives of their subordinates and comrades first.

Whether it's initially about protecting the dignity of subordinates, or now about the fact that money isn't everything.

Even so, Shiho raised her face, trying to argue her point.

After all, once that demon descends, it will inevitably target the entire ninja world, and the Hidden Demon Village in the Land of Hot Springs will naturally be no exception!

But before he could reiterate this reasoning, the priestess beside him had already given her own answer:

"Since Lord Demon Shadow doesn't mind my identity that might bring disaster, then staying here doesn't seem so bad."

"It just so happens that the people in the Land of Demons are avoiding me because of my prophetic abilities, and I've wanted to leave for a long time."

"However, Lord Demon Shadow, you must keep your promise to me. I don't want to die so soon."

Ziyuan stared directly at the young leader, who was about the same age as her, her delicate face showing no sign of resentment or unwillingness.

"Lady Shion, you mustn't!"

Upon hearing such a decisive decision, Ashie exclaimed in surprise.

He desperately wanted his family to retract their decision.

Although what the other party said was true.

Because Lady Shion possesses the ability to predict the death of others without exception, some people in the country regard her as an ominous monster.

Yet many companions are still willing to die to protect Lady Shion, which is the fundamental reason why the prophecy comes true 100% without exception!

If those predecessors and comrades had even a little bit of fear of death, they would have survived the prophecy of certain death!

Most importantly, regardless of the rumors or how the public views her, Lady Shion is like a princess or queen in the Land of Demons. In other factions, she would be no different from a hostage.

Their statuses are worlds apart!

How could I allow the daughter of the matriarch who brought blessings to the entire Land of Demons to suffer such treatment?

Why not?

"Are you absolutely certain you can protect me from those monsters?"

"I'm still young, I don't want to die."

Ziyuan looked down at the guard beside her with an indifferent expression, her arrogant attitude seemingly returning to when she first stepped into this reception room.

Upon hearing this, Zu Sui's breath hitched.

If things were really that easy, they wouldn't have lost so many companions over the years, and there would have been no need for them to travel thousands of miles to the Land of Hot Springs the moment the priestess made her prophecy.

"I, and my companions, will protect Lady Shion's safety with our lives!"

Unable to give a definite answer, he could only respond to his parents' question with the most resolute attitude.

However, the moment he gave that answer, he had already lost.

"well,"

"Why don't you understand yet, Ashiho?"

"I want to live, whether as an ordinary person or as a hostage, just to live safely."

"Instead of seeing you killed by villains and then dying as well."

"Go back, I don't need you anymore."

The girl uttered words that were almost inhuman, and after she finished speaking, she shifted her gaze from the guard's face to the person in charge of this trip.

"My decision to stay or leave is up to me."

"In the future, I will make my prophecy for your village."

"But in exchange, you must protect my safety."

"After all, Lord Demon Shadow wouldn't want another incident like the Raikage's surprise attack, would he?"

After coldly rejecting the guard's will, Ziyuan seemed to have matured a bit. Her long, light golden hair accentuated her noble demeanor, and her pale purple eyes added a touch of mystery.

"This is our village."

"Welcome to join us."

I will provide you with protection.

Huang nodded slightly.

He had long since realized that this girl was no ordinary person.

People who exhibit extreme arrogance are either born losers or talented individuals who use arrogance as a disguise.

The shrine maiden before me must have a terrible personality, but she is also a qualified queen.

The girl, visibly relieved to receive the promise,

She didn't want to implicate her subordinates, and she also wanted to continue living.

However, such a bad personality trait is not something that can be easily changed.

"Deal made, but..."

"Is it Lord Ara who has come to protect me personally? Then you'd better deal with your own crisis first."

A sly smile crept across his lips.

This is the first guy who made her bow her head and suffer a humiliation.

Sure enough, when those words came out, Izumi's emotions were stirred up again, and even Ara could sense that something was wrong with her.

A bitter smile was visible in his eyes.

It's obvious that Izumi also has some knowledge of the priestesses of the Land of Demons and their prophecies, as if she had already apologized to Chino before Izumi did.

We'll have to explain their 'good intentions' later.

[Seriously, is this girl a shrine maiden who saves people from dire straits, or a witch wielding a flaming fork with a pointed tail?]

At the same time, a helpless sigh resounded in his heart.

However, there is no doubt that Shion is the companion he desires. This is not only to prevent a recurrence of events like Hotaru's, but also to fulfill his own and his clan's requests.

By granting the shrine maiden Shion's request, the secret realm quest "[The Island of Eternal Night, Charge into the Darkness!]" is triggered.

Mission Description: Itsukushima, having violated the laws and lost the protection of the gods, has been plunged into an eternal night that has lasted for decades.

As the last tuner of the Itsukushima lineage, Yin kept playing his prayers in front of the shrine, summoning the melodies of daytime. But even when the strings snapped and his fingertips bled, he still could not change the fate of the long night that filled the sky.

However, the invasion of the evil spirits did not stop in the slightest.

【Why,】

Why would the gods unleash such cruel calamities?

Under the cover of night, in front of the shrine,

The girl holding the broken-stringed pipa looked utterly hopeless and helpless.

Mission Rewards: Route 1: Gain the friendship of the Itsukushima lineage and receive the gratitude of the thousands of souls remaining at Itsukushima Shrine.
