In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

A variety of questions arose in Shiroshima's mind, especially the environment in front of her, which left her completely bewildered. She subconsciously raised her hand and immediately saw a chubby little hand waving in front of her, as if it were grabbing something.

This is……

My hand?

Shiroshima was deeply shocked. He couldn't believe that just a short while ago he was playing volleyball, and now he was in this kind of place. Even more unbelievable was that he had become like a child...

"Wow...wow...wow..."

Shirashima realized that she was crying uncontrollably, the sound tearing through the night. Suddenly, someone rushed in from the doorway. The moment she saw the person, Shirashima's eyes widened. She actually saw him—the person she had longed to see day and night, the person she had never seen before, the one who was now gone forever.

Mother?

Shirashima opened her mouth, trying to utter that familiar word, but no matter how hard she tried, it turned into the cry of a baby. And her mother, in her eyes, had come close, picking her up and gently comforting her.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I had no choice but to leave you here in order to defeat the bad guys. I'm really sorry..."

Listening to her mother's words, distant memories surfaced in her mind, and Shiroshima realized that the scene before her was clearly that she had returned to when she was an infant, but why did she not have this memory?

Mother……

She kept calling out in her heart, but in the end it turned into the cries of a baby. The woman became even more guilty and simply held Shirashima in her arms, gently patting her back.

The woman uttered a lullaby familiar to Shiroshima. She recalled that she had never heard this lullaby since her mother died. Gradually, the lullaby soothed Shiroshima's turbulent emotions, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.

"You're so good... Mommy... I love Shiroshima the most... If I could watch you grow up... that would be the happiest thing for Mommy..."

A gentle smile appeared on the woman's face, and Shiroshima's lips couldn't help but curve upwards, as if he were dreaming of some heartwarming scene.

……

boom!

"Another goal!"

"The Osaka team has reached match point. Can they still defeat their opponents as easily as before? Let's look forward to seeing how this dark horse team, which is about to emerge from Osaka, achieves its best result ever!"

"Damn it! Shirashima-kun, what are you doing?! Focus on the competition! If you keep going like this, Natsuki-sensei will be disappointed in you!"

"Go for it, Tokyo Gakuen team!"

……

What is that sound?

Natsuki...Teacher?

That name sounds so familiar...

It seems like I've heard this somewhere before...

And this sound...

The image of a girl with pigtails flashed through her mind, followed by the image of a handsome man. The two images kept flashing in Shiroshima's mind, making her frown involuntarily.

"Shiroshima, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you hungry? Mom will get you some right now..."

The woman asked with concern, skillfully lifting a corner of her clothes as warm liquid flowed down her throat. Shirashima's brows gradually relaxed, and the woman's movements became gentler.

However, this didn't last long. The faces of the man and the twin-tailed girl flashed through Shiroshima's mind again. Unlike before, after the two, a girl dressed as a shrine maiden appeared, a timid girl, and...

Familiar faces flashed through her mind, and at the same time, a faint light above her head bloomed rhythmically with each of the figures that flashed through her mind. This scene seemed to go unnoticed by the woman, who continued to feed the "baby" in her mouth, her smile becoming even more eerie.

Finally, Shirashima opened her eyes. The woman's face that came into view made her a little dazed. However, after only a few breaths, a fierce look flashed in Shirashima's eyes, and she bit down hard!

Crunch!

"what!!!"

A woman's high-pitched voice suddenly rang out, carrying far in the quiet night sky. She abruptly threw the "baby" in her arms away, clutching her chest. Bloody liquid was flowing from her fingertips, dripping onto the ground and onto her smooth thighs, quickly staining large areas of her skin.

"It hurts so much! You bastard! Don't you know this is a woman's most vulnerable spot? It hurts so much!!!"

She let out a sharp scream, her face, seemingly crazed, was nowhere to be seen from her gentle appearance just now. And at this moment, her appearance changed, and the next moment she transformed into the likeness of the precocious Kyoko!

Shirashima turned her head with difficulty. The collision had caused some damage to her body, and red liquid was flowing from the corner of her mouth. If it were her previous self, even if she suffered an attack ten times stronger, it probably wouldn't have had much of an impact. Perhaps this was a limitation of this body...

“I sensed something was wrong from the moment I started… So, this was all an illusion you created through some means, wasn’t it? Kyoko Hayaemi, no, I should call you, Captain of the Osaka team?”

Perhaps because Saki Kyoko had revealed her true face, Shiroshima's voice reached her ears clearly this time, and it was not the baby's cry as before. After hearing Shiroshima's words, Saki Kyoko's expression turned terrifying.

"So what if you found out? As long as you're still in this place, you'll never truly wake up. Unless the match ends and I'm in a better mood, I might let you off the hook. However, your actions just now have angered me. After the match, the other teammates might let you go, but as the captain, you must forever remain trapped in this world. This is the price you pay for trying to rebel!"

"Oh? Are you sure you don't want to take a closer look?"

Shiroshima's voice rang out again, and Sawae Kyoko finally realized that the faint light emanating from the other person was gradually becoming dazzling, even making her feel blinded!

What is this?!

……

Chapter 227 Shiroshima is angry!

"...Damn it! What's going on? Why can't Shirashima and the others hear me? If this keeps up, we'll lose the match!"

In the stands, Sayuri was complaining, looking down at the Tokyo Academy volleyball team members who looked dazed. Even Shirashima and Miyamoto Rei, the two girls who could use holy light like her, were just running after the volleyball numbly, and then watching the volleyball fall to the ground. Where was their heroic appearance during the previous game?

This strange scene also made Rika, who was standing nearby, look serious. Only Kato Yuri and her daughter Nanako looked at them with puzzled expressions.

"That's really strange. They weren't like this in the last match, were they?"

Kato Yuri muttered something, then suddenly realized something, turned around, tugged at her clothes, stuck out her tongue and grinned mischievously: "Oh dear, I didn't even notice, my clothes have been showing all over this place! Luckily, Natsuki-sensei isn't here, otherwise Yuri would have been so embarrassed, hehe..."

Rika glanced speechlessly at the many eager gazes around her: "Now I finally understand why so many men are staring at us even though it's their competition. Speaking of which, Aunt Yuri's figure is just too unfair, isn't it?"

She had no choice but to feel helpless, after all, among all the people in the audience, Kato Yuri's figure was the most outstanding.

Especially under the sportswear, the obviously hot curves and the charm in every move are powerful allure that has been honed over time.

Even Xia Mu, with her strong will, sometimes couldn't help but tremble when she saw the charm that the other person inadvertently revealed. Although she could still use the power of holy light to forcibly strengthen her mind, the other person's charm was already evident!

However, what she didn't know was that even excluding Kato Yuri, Sayuri next to her also attracted a lot of attention. After all, the allure of a youthful face and large breasts is terrifying in any country. In addition, under the power of holy light, Sayuri's skin has become quite smooth and beautiful, making it difficult for ordinary boys to resist her charm.

Rika was unaware that if Sayuri and Kato Yuri were like this, her charm was equally undeniable. Although she didn't have the same amazing figure as the two, her unique aura as a shrine maiden made her the one who attracted the most attention among them. However, when Rika looked over, her fiery gaze was enough to frighten many people with ulterior motives, so they naturally didn't notice this scene.

That said, while speechless, Rika also noticed that the reason why the Tokyo volleyball team's performance had become so drastically different before and after was probably because—

"Rika, you didn't see wrong. I noticed it during the match too. That guy touched his bracelet with a very 'evil' gesture, and the demonic power released at that moment made Shirashima and Miyamoto Rei look different. How could he win in such a way? Isn't that too unfair?"

As expected of Sayuri, who is also a Saint Light Girl, after Rika's reminder, she also realized the reason for the change on the court. However, even so, neither Sayuri nor Rika could participate in it. Ultimately, this is a match between the Tokyo Gakuen Volleyball Team and the Osaka Gakuen Volleyball Team. Excessive interference would only end the match prematurely!

"Are we just supposed to watch those guys win this way? It's so frustrating!"

Sayuri slammed her fist into the railing in front of her. Although she subconsciously held back some of her strength, the impact still dented the railing. The many eyes that had been focused on this spot were startled when they saw this and turned to look elsewhere, afraid of provoking the girl's anger and ending up like the unfortunate railing...

"No problem, Shiroshima-neechan and Miyamoto-neechan, they can definitely beat the Osaka team. This is Nanako's absolute trust in them!"

Nanako's voice rang out, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to her. They then saw the girl pointing her finger to the rest area below, and they also saw the confident smile on the face of a certain man in the rest area that seemed to have never disappeared from beginning to end.

Rika seemed to only then realize what was happening, and her expression relaxed: "Really, it seems I still don't understand Shirashima-kun as well as Natsuki-sensei. I only noticed it after Nanako reminded me. As a friend, this is really unacceptable!"

Meanwhile, Sayuri, standing nearby, had already rolled up her sleeves again, waving her arms to encourage the girls on the field: "Go Shirashima! Go Miyamoto Rei! Everyone, go for it! Cheer up, everyone!!!"

On the field, upon hearing these words, Zao Hui Xingzi frowned, glanced at the cheering crowd in the stands, let out a muffled groan, and in a flash, her gaze shifted to the dilapidated house she had just been standing in.

"What do you mean? Your body has already become like this, do you think you can break free from it? Don't be ridiculous!"

The perspective returns to the present. Kyoko, clutching her bleeding chest, couldn't help but question Shirashima after hearing her words. After all, in the past few matches, she had won using this method: forcibly pulling her teammates into an "illusion," causing their consciousness and souls to sink into a "gentle embrace," while simultaneously creating a corresponding "illusion" outside. After the match, they wouldn't even notice the changes in their bodies, only thinking they had lost, without considering the process of the game...

Of course, during the previous matches, there had been instances where her opponents had broken free from the "illusion," but she had managed to pull them back in. As for the "Shiroshima" in front of her, although her words had made Saya Kyoko feel a bit of danger, she did not show any sign of worry, as if she had already foreseen the outcome.

Then, something unimaginable happened in her eyes. The "baby" floated into the air, its tender face now filled with rage.

"...No matter what you do to me, Shiroshima will not be angry, but since you dare to use my mother's image to try to tarnish the sacredness of my mother in my heart, then Shiroshima will absolutely not let you off today!"

The "baby" took a deep breath, and as its expression changed, it uttered the words of a young girl:

"Holy Light—"

……

Chapter 228 Another Formation?!

"Holy Light—"

hum!

The sudden burst of intense light made Kyoko Hayabusa instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes: "What happened? What a dazzling light!"

Through the gaps between her fingers, she finally saw the changes taking place on the "baby." Enveloped in light, the baby's body rapidly grew, progressing through the stages of a child, a girl, and eventually a young woman. When the familiar face finally reappeared before her, Zao Hui Xingzi's eyes widened in disbelief: "You actually... recovered?!"

She never imagined that the other party would simply mutter a "spell" and return to his previous state. No, that's not right, this guy's transformations haven't stopped yet!

Shiroshima's hair, initially short, gradually grew out, eventually cascading casually to her waist, sparkling like a galaxy, exuding an indescribable beauty. Her face also showed a hint of maturity compared to before, and the curves of her figure had instantly grown to a level even more magnificent than her own!

Whoosh!

A pair of black and white wings emerged from the girl's back. The clothes that originally covered her body were now covered by black and white armor. Overall, she looked just like the angel in Sawami Kyoko's mind. In particular, the warmth brought by the holy light made Sawami Kyoko feel like she was bathed in a spring breeze.

boom!

A powerful force erupted from Shiroshima, forming an invisible wave that directly destroyed the dilapidated house. The night sky also shifted amidst sounds like shattering glass, instantly shattering into pieces. The space shrouded in black mist was then revealed to Shiroshima.

"Miyamoto-san... Yuko-san... and Haori-san... everyone from the volleyball team, so you're all here?"

Shirashima's gaze swept around, and seeing that everyone was just unconscious, he finally felt relieved. In particular, a certain girl kept blinking her lips and making murmured sounds, her expression as if she were having a happy dream.

"It's good that nothing's wrong..."

"Besides, now that we've found everyone, defeating you should be enough to rescue them and allow us to resume the competition, right?"

As Shiroshima spoke, his gaze fell on Saki Kyoko below, noticing that she was also muttering something to herself—

"So warm... such a wonderful feeling..."

Her expression turned blissful, as if influenced by the light, and her heart became calm as well. However, it didn't last long before the black light emanating from her chest suddenly woke her up.

"This is bad! I've actually been affected by your power, and so have they... Damn it, so what if they're angels? I, Zao Hui Xingzi, will not allow this to happen!"

Seeing the opposing volleyball team reappear, she shouted and tightened her grip on the jewelry on her chest. The next second, black mist surged around her, instantly condensing into two sharp weapons, which then flew directly towards the white island in mid-air!

shhh-

The weapon tore through the void with a sharp whistling sound. One could imagine that even steel would be unable to withstand this astonishing attack. However, Shiroshima simply raised his eyes, the cross mark between his brows flickering slightly. With a flick of his fair hand, he caught the weapon in his grasp!
