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

However, he forgot the name of that country for the time being.

But then, a voice came from the side.

"Yamatai Kingdom."

"Yes, Yamatai! It's Yamatai!"

The big man instantly remembered everything, then opened his eyes and said this.

But the next moment, he paused for a moment.

"Sister? Does that mean you're also concerned about human affairs?"

Susanoo never expected that it would be his own sister who reminded him of the name of this country.

This older sister, who doesn't care about anything except Takamagahara, actually started to care about a human country.

That's really strange.

"It's not a matter of whether I care or not, it's just that the Queen of Yamatai is my follower... She was a child I gave to a human, and she has been a believer in me ever since she grew up, so I have some concerns about her..."

Shimizu Mio gave a simple explanation, but halfway through her sentence, she seemed to remember something and suddenly froze on the spot.

"Saikado, Tsushima Island, a vanished ancient kingdom, and a spatial artifact possessing a hidden ancient city..."

The softer the whisper, the clearer the mind becomes.

Shimizu Mio seemed to understand something...

Is this the reason for Arakawa's confidence? Chapter 787, Section 784: The Campaign Against Himiko!

"I completely forgot about that..."

Shimizu Mio couldn't help but feel a sense of 'the answer is right in front of me, but I can't see it'.

Saikaido, an ancient city that vanished overnight, and then islands in the sea.

All these clues point to the Sun Wheel City of Yamatai Kingdom, something she should have figured out long ago.

She brought Himiko to Takamagahara and made her her personal priestess.

"Ah, if I had known our destination was Sunwheel City, I would have gone with Asahi!"

regret.

Deep regret was evident in the girl's eyes.

That's the City of the Sun! Whether you strictly define it or not, it's her territory. Her own brother has run into her territory, and she can't even go there?

hateful!

That bastard Ara!

"So that's how it is... So Chaoyang went to the City of the Sun this time?"

"Then you don't need to worry so much, sister."

Qi Dao blinked and then realized what was happening. She then chuckled softly.

My older sister's gaze is so adorable... It's just a pity that Xiao Chaoyang has never seen this side of her.

However, since the conversation had already reached this point, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Speaking of which, sister, why did Himiko suddenly seal off the City of the Sun? And why did she use a divine artifact to seal it off for so long?"

"Hmm?...I'm not sure about that either."

Upon hearing this, Mio immediately shook her head slightly.

“She used to pray to me every day, and I listened to her prayers every day, but suddenly one day, she just disappeared. Her voice never came back.”

“I originally thought she didn’t believe in me, so I sent people down to look for her. They found that the entire Sun Wheel City had disappeared, and the Yamatai Kingdom she led was gradually disintegrating with her disappearance.”

“I sent some of the gods down to search, but they couldn’t find it no matter what.”

"After searching like this for a while, I gave up..."

Qi Dao blinked. "Just vanished without a trace? Didn't you go looking for her yourself, sister?"

"No, I was busy dealing with the Takamagahara matter at the time... In the end, I brought Himiko up here as an assistant. Now that she's gone, I can only be more serious."

With such a matter-of-fact tone and nonchalant attitude, Qi Dao couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "This is truly the older sister."

No matter how gentle Shimizu Mio becomes because of Shimizu Asahi, all her gentleness is only reserved for her familiar family members.

In the eyes of outsiders, she remains the proud and aloof lord of Takamagahara.

only......

"Even so, they've believed in you ever since they were old enough to understand. Sending people to search casually and then ignoring it when there's no result... Himiko will cry, sister."

The big man muttered this under his breath, but there wasn't a trace of concern for Himiko in his words.

It wasn't because I felt sorry for Himiko being abandoned that I said it; it was because I wanted to say it, so I said it.

Like Shimizu Mio, even though Susanoo-no-Mikoto looks no different from a human, he was still a war god who once wreaked havoc on the world.

The idea of ​​getting closer to humans is complete nonsense.

From beginning to end, he was a god.

A god who reigns above all other gods and is incapable of truly possessing human emotions!

The moment the bull-headed man uttered those words, the black-haired girl glared at him, her black eyes conveying a clear meaning.

"Shut up!"

"..."

In an instant, the big man obediently shut his mouth.

Then, Qi Dao spoke up again: "Let's not talk about that for now. So, sister, what do you plan to do? Go to the City of the Sun?"

"Hmm...that's true..."

Shimizu Mio is now hesitant. She went to Ara to ask for an explanation, mainly because she was afraid that Asahi might encounter some danger. However, Ara's advance departure told her that Shimizu Asahi would be fine. Now that she has also received news about Nichirin Castle from Susanoo, it doesn't really matter whether she goes or not.

Anyway, my younger brother is fine.

If something really happens, Izumo Province isn't far from Nichirin Castle, so she can get there before things get really bad.

So, after thinking it over carefully, Shimizu Mio still didn't go over.

My younger brother is already able to face many things in this world.

Moreover, her other magical artifact is still inside Shimizu Asahi's body...

------

In the city of the sun, in the watchtower.

Shimizu Asahi and his group returned to this place once again.

Ming Liu, who had witnessed the entire event from the watchtower, rushed over immediately.

"Lady Takiyasha, Mr. Shimizu, are you alright?"

Despite witnessing the entire process, seeing the seemingly calm yet volcanic eruption of the returning crowd, their restrained expressions made his heart tremble.

Just like how, beneath a calm sea, turbulent currents are already surging!

"..."

"We're fine."

"Mingliu, I'll leave dinner to you. Mr. Shimizu and I have some things to discuss."

Takiyasha-hime gently shook her head and spoke softly.

Ming Liu instantly understood what this meant, so he immediately nodded and took his leave.

"I understand, Lady Takiyasha."

The white-haired boy left, and Takiyasha-hime led the seven people into the room.

She took the seat of honor, while the seven people, including Qingshui Chaoyang, sat at the lower and upper seats.

No one spoke, and no one broke the silence between them.

It's as if there's nothing to say...

------

Meanwhile, Ming Liu left the living room and went to the kitchen to start his dinner.

He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. But no matter how calm he tried, he couldn't stop his trembling hands.

It wasn't that his will wasn't strong enough, nor was it that he was making a fuss over nothing.

Rather... it is uncontrollable.

The moment that thought crossed his mind, his body was already beyond control.

A joy that came from the heart... the desire to end all of this and liberate the people flowed through his body, making him almost unable to resist jumping up and laughing and cheering.

But at the same time, fear was also spreading in my heart.

If we fail, everything will be over, and no one will be able to end it all.

This fear made his whole body cold, his hands and feet stiff, and he found it extremely difficult to even move a single step.

But in any case, the facts have already determined that even if he asked Takiyasha-hime and the others to give up, they would never give up.

—The campaign against Himiko has begun! Chapter 788: We must win!

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its gentle, tranquil light like a thin veil draped over the island.

It happened so gently and softly that no one noticed.

Asahi Shimizu sat in the courtyard walkway of the room, his dark eyes reflecting the gentle moonlight.

Time has already turned back; tomorrow... no, it should be said today, is the day of their decisive battle with Himiko.

Although they were unsure of their chances of winning, they had made all the necessary preparations.
