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

Perhaps a long, long time ago, my sister gave him the Yata no Kagami...

"I see... Mio had this trick up her sleeve."

"No wonder Mio didn't sneak up on us this time..."

Reiko blinked slightly, then couldn't help but chuckle.

At this point, the girls' expressions relaxed considerably. Now that they knew the situation, there was no need to say anything more.

However, while they relaxed, Takiyasha-hime, who was standing beside them, was unable to calm down.

Just now, she heard all the news and learned everything she didn't know before.

The black-haired boy before me... the boy who saved the City of the Sun and Himiko, is actually Amaterasu Omikami... the younger brother of the Lord of the Gods!

Furthermore, Amaterasu Omikami, in order to protect him, also entrusted him with the legendary Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror)...

This news is extremely shocking. Anyone who hears it will be so shocked that their mind goes blank.

To be honest, when Takiyasha-hime learned about this, she was just as stunned as the other girls.

But after that, her attention was drawn to other things.

The fact that Shimizu Asahi was the younger brother of Amaterasu Ōmikami had a far greater impact on Takiyasha-hime than just that.

Because... it was Amaterasu Omikami who destroyed the City of the Sun!

The younger brother of the one who once destroyed the City of the Sun has now saved it?

The person they were so grateful to was actually the brother of their enemy.

Even if this was a joke, it's gone way too far!

With one hand covering her head, Takiyasha-hime shook her head violently.

"Clear water..."

The words escaped through clenched teeth, and the silver-haired girl stopped in her tracks.

As she spoke, Shimizu Asahi stopped in her tracks.

"Hmm... I think I know what you're trying to say, Takiyasha-hime."

The black-haired boy laughed directly; he knew this would happen from the moment he exposed the Yata no Kagami.

However, he wasn't too worried.

"I'm so sorry I kept this from you before."

"Although there are various reasons, once it's been concealed, it's been concealed, so I'm sorry."

Shimizu Asahi sincerely apologized to Takiyasha-hime, and the formality of his apology left Takiyasha-hime speechless for a moment.

After all, she hadn't expected that Shimizu Asahi would apologize first instead of explaining.

However, as she gritted her teeth and pondered what she should say, Shimizu Asahi spoke again.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't have any evidence before, so I couldn't tell you this."

"But now, I can proudly tell you that it was not my sister who made the City of the Sun Wheel into this state!"

The boy smiled, his dark eyes filled with a faint joy.

It wasn't that he solved the problems of the City of the Sun, but rather... he finally found the evidence.

He could finally prove that his sister was not the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocent people! Chapter 819: Who Destroyed the City of the Sun?

After suppressing the source of the plague, Shimizu Asahi no longer worried that the matter had anything to do with her sister.

Although rationally speaking, only a few people, including his sister, could do this, he could clearly sense that the dark power emanating from the source of the plague had absolutely no connection with his sister's power!

Indeed, the power of the source of the plague is very strong, even surpassing Himiko and Enma, reaching a level that can rival her own sister and brother. However, equal power does not mean equal people.

The aura and power emanating from the source of the plague were unlike anything he had ever felt before. Although it was somewhat similar to the Yamata no Orochi, it was also quite different.

The same applies to Yamata no Orochi, let alone Shimizu Mio.

So he spoke softly.

"To be honest, although I can tell from the aura that it's not my sister's power, I still can't figure out who the culprit is..."

"I'm sorry, Takiyasha-hime."

When he obtained the source of the plague, Shimizu Asahi wondered if this power might belong to Yamata no Orochi.

After all, the Yamata no Orochi is so powerful, and this power is somewhat similar to the Yamata no Orochi. Considering the evil god in the game world of the Yamata no Orochi, it is not impossible that such a plague would suddenly appear.

However, after careful consideration, he ruled out this possibility.

Eight hundred years ago... At that time, the Yamata no Orochi should still be sealed away. Three hundred years ago, it only had a little bit of power to contend with Shimizu Asahi. Eight hundred years ago, it didn't have that much power.

Moreover, he had only managed to send Ibuki out a thousand years ago, and two hundred years was not enough time for him to recover from his injuries.

Moreover, the power he sensed was fundamentally different from that of the Yamata no Orochi.

This is definitely not the same force.

"But don't worry, maybe Lady Himiko will know... Even if Lady Himiko doesn't know, my sister definitely will."

The young man chuckled, his words carrying a hint of ease.

Looking at that calm and serene smile, Takiyasha-hime couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"N-not...Amaterasu?"

Her inner emotions surged like a tidal wave, and Takiyasha-hime desperately wanted to calm herself down, but she simply couldn't.

Just as Himiko attributed this incident to Amaterasu... Shimizu Mio, Takiyasha-hime also attributed it to Shimizu Mio, much like a drowning person who refuses to accept such a disaster and then blames everything on the water.

They blamed everything on Shimizu Mio, believing it steadfastly for eight hundred years, and even taking it as fact.

But... eight hundred years later, Shimizu Asahi tells her that it was not Shimizu Mio who destroyed the City of the Sun.

Her heart pounded, and Takiyasha-hime raised her hand, making a gesture to be quiet.

Shimizu Asahi blinked, but didn't continue. It was necessary for her to calm down on her own.

"..."

"..."

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.

During those half hour, Shimizu Asahi and Takiyasha-hime didn't say anything.

However, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that Takiyasha-hime's emotions were gradually calming down.

I suppose I've already accepted this fact.

"That should be about right."

Taking a deep breath and then exhaling gently, Takiyasha-hime shook her head and finally fully accepted the news.

She looked up and said softly, "I'm sorry... Chaoyang, I was a little too emotional just now."

"It's okay. If it were me, I would have reacted the same way."

The boy smiled and shook his head, not continuing the conversation on the topic. Instead, he turned and said, "Alright, the watchtower isn't far now. Let's go back."

"Lady Himiko must be getting impatient."

"Um......"

As the sun rose over the clear water, the group returned to the watchtower.

Perhaps because Ming Liu had been observing the situation over there, they spotted him quite early.

"Mr. Shimizu, Lady Takiyasha, welcome back."

He greeted her quietly, then stepped aside, saying, "Mr. Shimizu, Lady Himiko is already waiting for you in the living quarters."

"Lady Himiko? You found out so quickly? As expected of Lady Himiko."

The boy chuckled and muttered this to himself.

"Yes, Lady Himiko was quite worried when Mr. Shimizu entered that pit. She only calmed down after you all came out."

Upon hearing this, Ming Liu smiled and replied, but then paused slightly, asking with a hint of doubt, "Speaking of which, Mr. Shimizu, you and Lady Takiyasha should have returned long ago. Why are you so late? Did something happen?"

"Ah...something did happen, but don't worry, it's not a big problem."

After a moment's thought, Shimizu Asahi gave this answer.

"Alright, let's go inside first, Mr. Mingliu."

After saying that, Shimizu Asahi walked into the house, and the girls followed with smiles. Even Takiyasha-hime, who did not smile, did not say anything.

Ming Liu watched their departing figures and tilted his head slightly...

The reason why Shimizu Asahi isn't telling Ming Liu right now is that she doesn't want to waste time.

After all, if Takiyasha-hime was so agitated by this matter, then Meiroku must be even more so... His beloved Himiko had gone mad, and his castle had been destroyed. His feelings for his sister were probably nothing but destruction and hatred.

If I say it here, I might have to wait another half hour.

Therefore, let's not talk about it now. Let's tell Himiko directly. Once Himiko accepts it, Meiroku will naturally accept it as well.

Soon, they arrived at the living room.

"Lady Himiko, we're back."

"Welcome back, Mr. Shimizu, and You-hime."

Himiko was already waiting for them in the living room, where seven cups of tea were laid out on the tea table, clearly prepared for them.

"The matter in the village to the east has been resolved..."

Shimizu Asahi was about to bring up this matter first, but before he could even open his mouth, Himiko smiled and nodded.

“I already know about this matter, Mr. Shimizu, you could actually omit it. Besides, I’m more concerned about something else that Mr. Shimizu wants to tell me.”

"The City of the Sun...who destroyed it?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became heavy... Chapter 820, Section 817: The Residual Power
