How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

The girls around them finally understood why Shimizu Asahi was so certain that she had brought Kami Mai onto her ship.

To deny that Chun is a fickle person, and to confirm that he only loves Paper Dance, we need to find out why Chun left this place in the first place, and Paper Dance needs to leave this island and go to the outside world.

At the same time, he also used Jun's name to ask Paper Dance to join them and contribute to defeating Himiya.

It has to be said that Shimizu Asahi's combination is so strong that only experienced players could withstand it.

Even the most experienced can fall into the trap of Qing Shui Chao Yang if they're not careful.

The rising sun has become a little cunning.

The girls knew perfectly well what was going on, but they said nothing, simply watching the clear water, the rising sun, and the paper dance in silence.

Having never seen anything like this before, nor been targeted by cunning people, Paper Dance, despite possessing human emotions, was still somewhat naive when faced with these situations.

Shimizu Asahi's words deeply moved her.

She looked at the clear water and the rising sun, at the smiling young man who sincerely invited her, and couldn't help but keep thinking.

Does Chun really like herself?

Was he always only concerned about himself?

Was his last word a promise to himself?

I want to know... I really want to know...

The girl's mind was consumed by such thoughts. She was no longer able to think about whether it was true or whether her choice was right. The only thing she knew for sure was to leave this place and find out the truth about Chun's departure!

"I...I'll join you!"

"I want to know... why Jun left in the first place!"

The girl shouted.

The sound wasn't very loud.

The determination and certainty revealed in his words made it seem as if he was betting everything on it.

In the end, Shimizu Asahi emerged victorious.

"Well then... welcome to the team, Miss Paper Dance!"

Shimizu Asahi extended his palm, and Paper Dance, after pausing for a moment, also extended his palm.

The two clasped hands, which meant that Paper Dance had decided to stand with Shimizu Asahi and the others.

Today's first task is complete.

However, Shimizu Asahi did not feel at ease.

While the addition of the Paper Dancers is a good thing, don't forget that they have two tasks today.

The paper dance can only be welcomed in the evening.

“Miss Paper Dance, you know about the watchtower, right? We still have some things to do, so we'd like you to go to the watchtower first. We'll come back and hold a welcome banquet for you after we finish that.”

"It's fine if we don't hold a ceremony, and... since I've already joined you, you can just call me Paper Dance."

"I can call you by your names too."

"Also... could you tell me what you're going to do next?"

Paper Dance asked this question with a hint of curiosity.

"Hehe, since Paper Dance has said so, then let's just call each other by our names."

"As for what happens next... there's nothing I can't say."

Shimizu Asahi paused slightly, then replied casually, "We plan to go to the palace to take a look..."

"One of my companions was left behind over there."

"We're planning to see if we can get him out!" Chapter 776, Section 779: I just...want her to know the truth.

"Rescue people?...You...are you going to the Sun Wheel Pavilion?"

The voice involuntarily rose several decibels, and the atmosphere around Paper Dance became somewhat surprised.

"Do you know Queen Himiko's strength? Even Lady Youhime is no match for Queen Himiko. You have no chance of winning if you go like this!"

Almost instinctively, she wanted to stop Shimizu Asahi's actions.

Because they could never be a match for Himiko.

As a character who came before Takiyasha-hime, Kami-mai had witnessed Himiko's despair-inducing and powerful strength.

In some ways, she knew Himiko's strength better than Takiyasha-hime did.

The queen who ruled Yamatai like the sun was an existence that could not be defeated no matter what.

Despite boarding Shimizu Asahi's pirate ship and fighting alongside them as one of those who wanted to defeat Himiko.

But that was only when everyone attacked together, and he was able to contend with Himiko.

Going to fight Himiko alone... without her and Takiyasha-hime, would undoubtedly be suicidal.

Whether for their safety or for her own determination to leave, she had to stop them from leaving!

However, the earnest and solemn words did not have much effect.

Shimizu Asahi gently shook his head and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, Paper Dance, we're not going to confront Himiko directly."

"Actually, we are well aware of Himiko's strength. This trip to the Hinoki Pavilion was just to investigate and verify some things."

"If we can't rescue them directly, we won't force them to come out."

"So, there won't be any danger."

"But......"

Paper Dance wanted to say something more, but after seeing Shimizu Asahi's expression and his black eyes, she swallowed her words.

Although the time spent together was short, one's eyes... a person's character can be revealed through their eyes.

The man before me is the kind of person who, once he makes a decision, will not change it.

He would never listen to her.

Words of persuasion were useless... Since persuasion was futile, she would go along with them!

“If it’s just investigating some things, my help should make things much easier.”

That's how she responded.

Paper Dance's words also aroused a bit of curiosity in Shimizu Asahi.

"Come to think of it, that seems to be true. We don't know much about your abilities yet, Paper Dance."

"How did you escape from Himiko's grasp?"

The powerful force of reincarnation nearly affected not only Ashiya Doman, but also Shimizu Asahi and the others. However, Kami Mai's aura was not strong; she was only at the Great Demon level. Yet, it was precisely this kind of person who successfully evaded the spacetime magic for eight hundred years.

This ability is absolutely amazing!

"Because I am paper, I can enter the paper."

“Eight hundred years ago, when I sensed the plague, I incorporated it into paper to escape this natural disaster.”

"To ensure safety, I also put myself into a deep sleep to make sure nothing went wrong."

"But I never expected that when I woke up from the paper, everything had gone back to the past."

"The people's aura has changed, and the entire City of the Sun has become a city filled with the aura of death."

“I was also influenced at the time and became one of them, but I don’t know if it’s because my paintings represent me, so the paintings have not been affected by time and space and still retain the appearance I recorded.”

“Through these words, I remembered everything from the past and broke free from the time-space magic.”

"I don't know exactly what Queen Himiko's spacetime magic is like. I started to worry that I might enter the cycle of reincarnation again after I came out, but after sleeping for a long time and waking up again, I still retained my memories. After that, I stopped worrying."

"I see... So, one can escape the cycle of reincarnation through painting?"

The boy instinctively supported his chin.

"That means that as long as someone can remember everything, they can break free from the cycle of reincarnation and never enter it again."

"If we etch our memories into a painting, would we be able to escape the cycle of reincarnation?"

“I don’t know… but at least for now, my power should allow you to operate more covertly.”

"At least, we won't attract ghosts by touching other people."

Ghosts appear when someone interferes with their movements, but if someone does not interfere with them, then the ghosts will not appear.

In other words, with Paper Dance around, they have nothing to worry about.

Unless Himiko takes the initiative to act.

But given the current situation, since they are not taking action against or interfering with the people, Himiko probably doesn't care.

Therefore... paper dance can make their movements easier!

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Paper Dance."

"Ok!"

After a moment's thought, Shimizu Asahi quickly decided to have Paper Dance join in.

So everyone got up and left the room.

Next destination: Nichirin-kaku!

------

It takes some time to get from the village to the Sun Wheel Pavilion, so Shimizu Asahi and the others didn't fly; they simply walked there safely.

This makes people feel more at ease.

However, as they embarked on their journey, Ibuki discreetly approached Shimizu Asahi.

"Hehehe... I had no idea that you, my lord, had such a cunning side."

“Cunning? Heh, this isn’t cunning. Ibuki.”
