My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 320: Attack

Hearing this weird old woman say this, Kagome immediately retorted loudly in anger.

However, both Grandma Kaede and the villagers once again ignored Kagome's strong protests, and continued to look at the tied Kagome with suspicion and whispered to each other.

Next to Grandma Feng, the villager who held the Zi bow for her also leaned close to Grandma Feng's ear and whispered doubtfully.

"Mother-in-law, could this little girl be a spy sent by a daimyo from another place?"

"Don't be silly. What good will it do to target our village?"

After hearing this suspicion, Grandma Feng was not worried about it.

"In our village, we're running out of food this year..."

While talking to the suspicious villagers, Grandma Feng also lowered her head and began to carefully look at the tied up little girl, intending to confirm in detail whether the girl was a transformed monster.

However, when Grandma Kaede looked closely at Kagome's uneasy face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This, this appearance is...

"Let me see your face again!"

Subconsciously, Grandma Feng took another step closer and gave this order while raising her hand to grab Kagome's chin and looking at her carefully, while giving the order with some eager dissatisfaction.

"Make your face smarter."

Oh my god... what on earth is going on? This weird mother-in-law...

Kagome was completely confused as Grandma Kaede grabbed her face and had no idea what was going on.

After carefully examining Kagome's appearance solemnly, she released her old hand that was pinching Kagome's chin, and an inexplicable strange expression appeared on the elderly woman's face.

"So similar... Really like Kikyo-sister..."

At night, in the house where Grandma Feng lives.

Gudu... Gudu...

In the clay pot placed on the fire, some common vegetables, tofu, and some wild boar meat that the villagers hunted deep in the mountains to make up for the food shortage in the village were rolling in the boiling soup, giving off a wonderful aroma that whetted one's appetite.

After seeing that the food in the pot was cooked, the elderly mother-in-law picked up a wooden bowl from the side, used a soup spoon to scoop a full bowl of soup with a lot of vegetables and meat, and handed it to the young girl sitting next to her.

"Okay, come on, eat something."

"Um...thank you..."

Although her wrists were untied, they were still numb from being tied tightly. Kagome, who was moving her wrists, stopped shaking her wrists when she saw Grandma Kaede handing her the soup. She took the wooden bowl filled with delicious soup and thanked her happily.

"It looks delicious... I won't hesitate!"

After putting her hands together and saying "I'm eating!", Kagome, who hadn't eaten all day and was already very hungry, picked up the wooden bowl and swallowed a small mouthful of the delicious broth that was still a little hot.

"I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble..."

After seeing Kagome drink the soup, Grandma Kaede picked up the tongs and fiddled with the red-hot charcoal while explaining slowly.

"Because there's been so much fighting in this area lately, the young people in the village are always a little restless and impulsive."

"Ah, it's okay..."

After expressing that she didn't care, Kagome asked Grandma Kaede hesitantly.

"Excuse me, this place... shouldn't be Tokyo, right?"

"...Tokyo? I've never heard of Tokyo."

Grandma Kaede asked in confusion after hearing the name Kagome mentioned.

"Is that your hometown?"

"Yeah...that..."

Hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome forced a smile uneasily.

"It's getting late, I should go back."

Despite saying this, Kagome couldn't help but sigh.

But how can I go back...

Noticing Kagome's lost expression, Grandma Kaede once again shifted her gaze to the crackling charcoal fire, and her aging face showed an expression of nostalgia for long-lost memories.

Looking back now, that was fifty years ago...

Fifty years ago, fragments of memories that were too distant for the elderly mother-in-law slowly emerged from the depths of her memory.

The raging fire that burned the entire village, the biting cold north wind, the heavy snow, Sister Kikyo collapsed in front of the shrine, and...

The man who should never betray Kikyo-sister, with those cold eyes...

Unconsciously, Grandma Kaede once again gazed at Kagome's face, which was very similar to her sister Kikyo.

Fifty years have passed since then... I've almost forgotten what Kikyo-sister looks like. Sigh... It seems I'm really getting old and can't remember anything anymore...

"Then, that... mother-in-law?"

Being stared at by Grandma Kaede with a gaze filled with inexplicable nostalgia, Kagome, who was extremely confused, was about to ask something when suddenly...

……boom! ! !

In the village outside the house, there was a loud noise caused by the collapse of a house, and the ground also shook slightly, almost causing Kagome to accidentally drop the wooden bowl in her hand.

"What happened?!"

After hearing the loud bang, Grandma Feng came to her senses and immediately picked up the bow and arrow, stood up, walked out of the house quickly, and shouted loudly.

However, no villager had time to answer the elderly mother-in-law. Amidst all kinds of panic shouting, the villagers also fled in panic.

Kagome also trotted out of the house, and when she saw the situation outside, she was stunned.

On a dark night, in the village, a huge body like a giant snake was twisting back and forth in the village, knocking down many houses along the way. The villagers fled in panic. Faintly, someone was shouting, "A monster is coming!"

The huge body wantonly destroyed many houses in the village in the dark night, and many villagers were swept aside by the huge body.

Some villagers who had hunted monsters with Grandma Feng also hurriedly began to counterattack the monsters in the dark night, shooting burning arrows at the huge bodies of the monsters in the night.

The fire from the arrow illuminated the monster's body in the dark night.

It was not a snake-like body, but an ugly body with many limbs, like a centipede.

The light of the flame also illuminated the upper part of the centipede-like body of the monster, and above the body of the monster was a strange upper body that resembled a human female, but with six arms.

_&〨々侕⊙<⒉尔(1) The monster with a centipede - the centipede witch.

After seeing Grandma Kaede and Kagome running out of the house, a ferocious smile of satisfaction appeared on the ugly face of the centipede witch. She controlled her twisting segmented body and suddenly pounced on the frightened Kagome from mid-air, roaring loudly!

"Hand over the Four Souls Jade!"

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 321: Brave Kagome

"Ah ah!!!"

While screaming in fear, Kagome subconsciously dodged to the side, avoiding the swooping body of the centipede witch. Granny Kaede also immediately bent down to avoid being knocked out by the centipede witch.

Fortunately, the centipede witch's body was huge and not flexible enough, so Kagome and Grandma Kaede were not injured when the centipede witch attacked.

Kagome dodged the body of the centipede witch and saw her ugly and ferocious appearance. She was stunned for a moment and screamed subconsciously.

"Ah, it's that monster!"

As if she had heard Kagome's scream, the ugly face of the centipede witch returned to the air again, becoming even more ferocious, and she swooped down again.

"Hand over the Four Souls Jade to me now!!!"

“Wu ...

Kagome once again managed to avoid the attack of the centipede witch, and she lost her balance and sat down on the ground. Grandma Kaede also rolled over on the ground in a rather embarrassed manner to dodge the attack of the centipede witch. However, when she heard the centipede witch's shouting, Grandma Kaede was also stunned.

"Is this youkai talking about the Four Souls Jade?!"

Thinking of this, Grandma Kaede hurriedly turned sideways and asked the bewildered Kagome in surprise.

"Little girl, could it be that the Four Souls Jade is on you?!"

"I do not know!"

Hearing this, Kagome also answered anxiously in fear.

"I don't even know what the Four Souls Jade is!"

At this time, more and more villagers in the village gritted their teeth, raised their bows and arrows nervously, and shot arrow after arrow at the centipede witch in the air.

"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give me the Four Souls Jade!!!"

Circling in the air, the centipede witch used its thick body to continuously repel the incoming burning arrows. It was difficult for the ground to approach it, and while roaring in anger, it suddenly twisted its body, and its huge body suddenly spun rapidly like a whirlwind!

The spinning centipede witch suddenly swung its body, and its huge, long body covered with limbs instantly blew away most of the villagers who were holding torches and shooting flaming arrows at the centipede witch.

"not good!"

"Ugh!"

"Damn monster...Ah!!!"

Villagers kept screaming as they were thrown away by the huge body of the centipede witch. More and more houses were crushed by the centipede witch's body, and the whole village soon became a mess.

Kagome hurriedly stood up and looked at the villagers who bravely fought back against the terrible monster, and the terrible monster that continued to wreak havoc in the village. She was extremely frightened and looked uneasy.

That monster, its target is me!

"No! Mother-in-law"

At this time, two villagers who looked embarrassed and holding swords, spears, bows and arrows also ran to Grandma Feng who had also stood up with a serious expression, and reported to her anxiously.

"None of the village's swords or bows and arrows can hurt that monster!"

"Ok!"

Grandma Feng nodded slowly with a serious expression.

"The only way is to force this monster into the Bone-Eating Well!"

"The Bone-Eating Well?"

Hearing the name, Kagome also turned around hurriedly and asked.

"what is that?!"

"It's the dry well in the forest where Inuyasha was sealed!"

After hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome also reacted. What Grandma Kaede was talking about was the ancient well where she came out.

After thinking about this, Kagome hurriedly asked.

"Which direction is the forest?!"

Hearing this, Grandma Feng turned around and was about to point her finger at the forest behind her, but Kagome had already suppressed her fear, gritted her teeth, and ran towards there!

"Is it that glowing place?!"

Hearing what Kagome said, Grandma Kaede was stunned and was about to ask something.

"what did you just say……"

Before Grandma Kaede could finish her words, the centipede witch swooped down at Kagome again when she saw that the girl next to the elderly woman seemed to want to escape, and Grandma Kaede had to hastily avoid the centipede witch's attack.

"That monster will definitely come after me!"

While running towards the forest, Kagome turned and shouted loudly to Grandma Kaede.

Kagome forced herself to suppress her fear and planned to lead the monster to the Bone-Eating Well first!

However, looking at the graceful figure of the young girl, a hint of astonishment flashed in Grandma Feng's eyes.

"...That girl can actually see the miasma deep in the forest..."

Grandma Kaede, who was experienced, naturally understood what Kagome had just said and what exactly the "glow" that Kagome saw was.

That is an abnormal miasma that ordinary people can hardly see.

Although it is called miasma, it is actually the rotting poisonous gas emitted by the decaying corpses of the monsters living deep in the mountains and forests.

However, Grandma Feng also knew that now was not the time to think too much. The most important thing now was to catch up quickly and find a way to destroy the monster.

Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at the young villagers who had already rushed over with swords, spears and sticks. Granny Feng also picked up the bow that fell on the ground, rode on the horses brought by the villagers, and led the fully armed young villagers in the village to chase after them!
