A newbie's anime life diary

Then, she saw that Eriri had somehow retreated back into bed and was doing nothing.

Shaking her head, Xiaobaihe put her things down and went to the bedside to look at her daughter: "Hey, what's wrong with you now? The deadline is in a few days, and you're still not working? Did you break up with your boyfriend again? It's only been a few days!"

"You're the one who's heartbroken!" Eriri shouted in dissatisfaction, sitting up in bed.

"Then why aren't you doing any work? The script is already prepared, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Humph~"

With a haughty look, Eriri turned her head away, got out of bed, opened her wardrobe, picked out an outfit, and started changing.

Yukiteru didn't tell Sayuri Sawamura about her trip to Kyoto, because she didn't know how to explain it, so she simply pretended it never happened.

Where are you going?

After putting on her skirt, Eriri picked up her sweater and said as she put it on, "Didn't you say I broke up with my boyfriend? I'm going to Yukiteru's house, so you won't say anything more. It's boring to draw at home, so I'm going to chat with Yukino and the others. I won't be eating lunch or dinner at home, so you'll have to take care of yourself."

After quickly getting dressed, Eriri organized her drawing tools, taking only the ones that were easy to carry, as the others were all over there.

Eriri wiped her slippers on the floor and went downstairs, carrying her bag and opening the front door.

"I'm heading out!"

Standing at her front door, watching Eriri slowly walk away, Sawamura Sayuri smiled helplessly: "Honestly, she can't stay still for even a day. She's completely different from before. But, she really is hiding something from me. Do you think I can't tell if she's my own daughter? But now it seems it's not a problem with her relationship, but something else. Oh well, if she doesn't want to tell me, then she doesn't have to."

Eriri didn't ask anyone to pick her up. She took the train and slowly arrived at this place, which she frequented most besides her home and school. Then she took out her key and opened the door.

As she entered and was about to speak, she noticed a pair of high heels in the entryway.

"have a guest?"

After changing her shoes and walking into the living room, she saw a woman with the same blonde hair as her sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.

Chapter 286 Arrows Piercing the Sky

Eriri expressed her frustration. Originally, her blonde hair was unique here. Although she couldn't compare to Shizuka, Utaha, and Haruno in terms of figure, she was still a cute blonde girl with twin tails!

But wait, what's with this blonde, big-breasted, long-legged woman? She's probably almost 1.8 meters tall, and she's wearing hot pants? Doesn't she know it's winter? What's there to brag about?!

Eriri puffed out her cheeks and sat down to the side, glancing at the other person's body and legs every now and then, then at her own, silently heartbroken.

The girl sitting next to her, Shizuka, remained silent, only watching Eriri's reaction, smiling as she patted her head, before turning her attention back to Yukino, who was facing the woman.

At home now, it's just her and Yukino, and now Eriri has joined them. Utaha and Haruno are both away because they have things to do.

"Kiss-Shot Acerolario Lyon Heart-Under-Blade? So you're the vampire who's temporarily taking over as president. What brings you here today? I don't think the women of our family deserve your presence." Looking at this girl who had arrived only three minutes earlier than Eriri and had merely given her name, Yukino, with Yukiteru not home, assumed the role of head of the household.

Originally, it would have been more appropriate for Shizuka to do these things, but only Yukino knows the inside story best, while Shizuka isn't very interested. Another older sister, Haruno, who knows the inside story well, is still busy outside.

Kiss-Shot Acerolarios Heart Under the Blade, hmm... that name is a bit long, let's just call her Kiss-Shot. She didn't react to Yukino's question, but instead smiled and looked at Yukino, then at Eriri and Shizuka beside her, and finally her gaze fell on Shizuka's lower abdomen.

"She has a very healthy and vibrant life force; it seems she'll be a lively child in the future."

"Thank you for your kind words." Just like Yukino, Shizuka was not nervous about the person who could be brought in by Ryougi Shiki to serve as acting chairman. Since she came so politely, she probably wasn't here to cause trouble.

Although he has a bad reputation in Europe, always likes to cause trouble and fight with some people, there are very few precedents of him attacking ordinary people.

Vampires don't count.

Kiss-Shot shifted her legs, crossed her arms, and said with a relaxed expression, "Don't worry, don't worry, I was just bored. Ryougi Shiki tricked me into this place just to keep watch. I don't need to get involved in the specifics. I only found out after three days, so I came out to wander around and find out what kind of person that little guy who took my Heart Crossing is."

"Is that knife really yours?" Eriri asked, somewhat incredulously. She had seen Shinwa before; it had a rather bizarre design, was excessively long, and didn't even have a handle, just a strip of cloth wrapped around it. She had even criticized the original owner's taste back then.

"Emmm~ It can't really be considered mine. I just got a fragment of the original Heart Crossing and remade it myself. It even contains my flesh and blood. But after Ryougi Shiki took it out and gave it away, the flesh and blood inside were burned away little by little. I can't feel the existence of the sword at all, so I thought I'd come to Ryougi Shiki to ask her about it." Kiss-Shot couldn't help but purse her lips when she talked about her original weapon, clearly not in a good mood.

Back then, she was careless (or so she thought) and lost to Ryougi Shiki. Shindo also became her spoils of war, and she was thinking of finding an opportunity to take it back. But things turned out like this. So, she has another target for her troubles: Yukiteru.

"So, you're here today to check on things, and then settle scores with Yukiteru when he gets back?" Yukino's tone became somewhat strange when she mentioned settling scores.

The vampire in front of her, well, his strength would be quite good by Western standards, but this isn't just anywhere, it's Japan. She suffered a setback not long after arriving here before, and the current Yukiteru is not someone she can easily defeat. Japan is alright, but if he's foolish enough to run off to China, well, he probably won't be coming back.

"Judging from your tone, it's as if I can't beat your man right now? I'm a high-ranking vampire, okay? It's hard to say against Ryougi Shiki, but a guy who hasn't been training for long is a piece of cake for me, isn't he?" Kiss-Shot put on an arrogant look, as if she was saying how awesome she was.

Unfortunately, her act had no effect on these people. Yukino simply nodded perfunctorily and said calmly, "In that case, you just wait and see. I think things will be over in a few days, and everyone will be back. Then you can fight whoever you want."

"Heh, so you're not worried at all?"

"What's there to worry about? You might not even be able to beat them." As she spoke, Yukino stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "It's almost noon. You're a guest too, would you like to stay for a simple meal?"

Do you have any red wine?

"There is a pregnant woman at home, so we don't open any bottles of alcohol."

"Then I'll have steak."

"...Are all vampires this rude these days?" Yukino paused, walked into the kitchen, and said, "There's only pork cutlet."

"Tch, once I win, I'll turn your whole family into my kin, and see if you'll still be so arrogant then." Kiss-Shot was very unhappy with Yukino's attitude and said maliciously.

As for why not do it now... because these people all possess divine protective charms, and we can't just touch them. It's better to make demands from the perspective of the victor later.

"If we really win, then I have nothing to say." Yukino said as she took out the ingredients. Suddenly, as if sensing something, she walked out of the kitchen, holding a piece of pork in one hand, and looked out through the balcony.

Not only her, but also Shizuka and Eriri at home, as well as Haruno and Utaha who were outside, all looked in the same direction.

An arrow, gleaming with an unknown light, pierced through the thick fog that shrouded Kyoto in darkness, soaring straight into the sky.

Is this... the end?

Touching the amulet that suddenly felt warm on her chest, Yukino murmured to herself.

Meanwhile, in Kyoto.

Amidst the ruins, Ryougi Shiki, spitting out a mouthful of blood, stared blankly at the sky where light had returned.

Xuehui lay motionless on the ground, one arm bent at an odd angle, blood still seeping from his abdomen, and his face looking completely hollowed out.

However, he muttered a gloating undertone: "Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? I have an accomplice! You call yourself a god, don't you? How about it, the power of a true god?"

In mid-air, the eerie man, naked from the waist up, stared blankly at the hole in his chest.

Chapter 287 True Shooting Explosion

Let's go back a few hours.

While Hagoromo Gitsune isn't particularly strong, there are definitely powerful yokai among them who can defeat her. Now that everyone here has come together, they are capable of defeating Hagoromo Gitsune.

But that's not enough. Don't forget what Hagoromo Gitsune's goal was: to give birth to her child again, Abe no Seimei.

“If we only deal with Hagoromo Gitsune without completely eliminating the threat posed by Abe no Seimei, it will be like what happened to me hundreds of years ago. Hagoromo Gitsune’s obsession remains to this day and is reborn. I’m afraid that in another few hundred years, such a situation will occur again.” Nurarihyon sat in his chair, looking at his grandson, Nurarihyon. “Furthermore, the curse that Hagoromo Gitsune cast on our Nurarihyon Clan must also be removed. We cannot allow the younger generation to experience the same tragedy again.”

Nura Rikuo frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Nurarihyon didn't want to say much about it, but once the topic was brought up, he would find out sooner or later.

"Back when I was fighting Hagoromo Gitsune, I was cursed by her after I defeated her and stopped her plan. She also cursed my Nurarihyon clan. After that, Nurarihyon were unable to have offspring with yokai. That is why Rihan is a half-yokai, while you, Rikuo, only have one-quarter yokai blood."

"Hagoromo Gitsune's curse?" Nura Rikuo's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me about something like this?"

"What was the point of you saying anything before?" Nurarihyon's words left Rikuo speechless, but he continued, "However, all of this must be put to rest today. Hagoromo Gitsune must be defeated, and Abe no Seimei must be completely eliminated. We cannot allow him to have the chance to return to hell."

"You don't even want him to have a chance to be reborn? Old man, that's asking a bit too much." Wiping his heart, Xuehui looked up at the other man. "Abe no Seimei is hailed as the strongest Onmyoji in a thousand years, and that's not without reason. Plus, he later abandoned his human form, so he's probably already beyond the ordinary realm. Moreover, being reborn through the energy that Hagoromo Gitsune has accumulated over many years, who knows how much stronger he'll be. What are the odds of victory?"

Although it might seem like a slight undermining of their own morale, Yukiteru's words immediately silenced everyone. Not only the smart yokai of the Nura Clan, but even some of the Keikain Onmyoji who had joined them now had somewhat solemn expressions.

'Hmm, wasn't that a bit of an overstatement?'

Seeing the situation on the ground and feeling the slightly reproachful look in Ryougi Shiki's eyes, Yukiteru couldn't help but cough and say, "Well, it's not like there's no way out. Anyway, we'll definitely have to fight. The others will fight against the monsters under Hagoromo Gitsune's command and the Onmyoji of the Mikadoin family. Me, Sensei, Yura-chan, and Rikuo will deal with Hagoromo Gitsune and Abe no Seimei later."

"Do you have a way?" Yura Hanakain couldn't help but ask. Although she had already mastered the Hanakain family's strongest Yin-Yang technique, Hagun, she was still a little unsure at the moment.

Xuehui pointed to his eyes and said, "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. As long as that guy is still alive, there will definitely be a way to deal with him. If all else fails... I have another trick, but it will take time."

As it turns out, Xuehui's predictions were quite accurate.

Everything went smoothly when they faced Hagoromo Gitsune. After injuring her, they held back a bit, allowing her to give birth to Abe no Seimei without any trouble.

Then, this son of a bitch, in a fit of treason, beat his own mother to the ground and threw her aside, acting like he was the most important person in the world.

However, this guy's strength is genuine. Even the strongest shikigami, Hagun, which combines the souls of all previous shikigami, couldn't affect him in the slightest. And Rikuo's Kyoka Suigetsu after Oni Entanglement was also useless, and he was KO'd in one move.

"A technique created by two forces overlapping and intertwining? Don't forget I'm also a half-demon. I can use such techniques too, but there's no need for me to." Abe no Seimei glanced at Nurarihyon, who was lying dead on the ground, and then looked at the remaining master-disciple pair on the field.

"Teacher, I have a bad feeling." With his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception activated, Yukiteru discovered that there were no death lines on the other person's body at all!

Not only was he on the deadline, but this guy wasn't even wearing clothes at first, it was absolutely an eyesore!

Not only Yukiteru, but even Ryougi Shiki, who had cultivated her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception for over ten years, couldn't see the death line. This could only mean one thing: Abe no Seimei had already transcended the level of ordinary life.

Abe no Seimei also saw the eyes of the two below, and his tone was slightly trembling: "Demon Eyes? Interesting things. Unfortunately, after a thousand years of dormancy, I have already surpassed my original level. No one in this world can stop me now."

"Transcendence? Godhood? Heh, don't be ridiculous. You think you can be a god with your appearance?" Xuehui said sarcastically, then put away the Heart Crossing that had already developed cracks. Gray flames began to rise from his body, and he said, "Teacher, Lu Sheng, please buy me some time."

Struggling to his feet, Lu Liang and Lu Sheng's vision was already a little blurry, but when they saw the black-haired woman in the distance who was related to their father, they stood up with a surge of anger in their hearts: "She really knows how to order people around."

Although it didn't have much effect, the group did their best to hinder the enemy.

"I've already told you, you can't stop me." As he watched the two rushing towards him, several points of light appeared around Abe no Seimei, and without any incantation, powerful spells were unleashed.

Although he barely dodged it, Yukiteru below was not so lucky. After Ryougi Shiki helped him block some attacks, he was suddenly struck in the abdomen by a beam of light while he was concentrating.

"Pfft... What bad luck." Xuehui spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned.

"I sense an unpleasant aura emanating from you, so your luck is indeed bad. Disappear from here." Raising his hand, Abe no Seimei seemed to be about to deliver the final blow to Yukiteru.

However, Xuehui laughed at this moment: "No, I mean your luck is very bad."

The next second, all the attacks were suddenly blocked, and two slender figures appeared on the battlefield without warning.

A pair of white hands caught Xuehui as she was about to fall, and a detached voice came: "It hasn't been that long, and you're already in such a sorry state?"

"Cough, it's not that I'm not good enough, it's just that the other side has a cheat code. Well, I'm not bad either, my cheat code is even more powerful." Zhun turned around and looked at the girl behind him who was supporting him, Xuehui's eyes were a little strange, "I feel like you've grown taller?"

“It’s been almost four years over there, don’t you think?” Responding to Yukiteru’s words, the girl glanced at Abe no Seimei, who was watching them from the sky, and then said to the pink-haired girl who had blocked the attack, “Madoka, destroy him.”

“I know. I sensed from him the possibility that he would lead the world to a tragic future. Although it’s regrettable, it’s the only thing we can do.” With that, a wooden longbow appeared in the girl’s hand.

Pull the string, then release.

With a seemingly casual strike, Abe no Seimei was pierced through the body before everyone's incredulous eyes.

After shifting slightly to indicate that he didn't need help, Xuehui lay down without any fuss and whistled, "I'm going to lie down for a week when I get back. I feel completely drained."

Madoka, Enma, and Yukiteru's biggest trump card to date has been used to turn the tide.
