……

On the train from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Takagawa Takayuki and the giant fox looked at the beautiful young priestess beside them. She called herself Kikyo, came from the Warring States period, and was trapped in this strange space.

She would take the initiative to come and talk to our group, probably because Chizuru Minamoto was also wearing a shrine maiden outfit.

in the carriage.

Kaguya and the others, who were sitting in other seats, also cast curious glances over. To avoid the topic being too strange and attracting the attention of others, the big fox secretly used illusion magic.

This made Kikyo even more excited, as if she had finally found someone like her!

Then, she began to talk about her own story.

In particular, the fact that we've been trapped in this "space" for several days.

"Is this the interior of some kind of monster? It keeps moving at such a fast speed, and it doesn't get tired or stop..."

No, the Shinkansen does stop, but you were sleeping when it stopped, so you missed it, right?

Every now and then, the people around us would suddenly disappear. Were they eaten by monsters?

They just got off at their stop.

"Someone will still try to capture me. Is this how monsters torture people?"

It's because you didn't buy a ticket that the train staff came to ask you questions, right? And you didn't get off the train when we arrived at the station, you just stayed on the train.

of course.

For Kikyo, the main problem is that there are too many ordinary people here. As a shrine maiden, she has to figure out what's going on and try her best to rescue everyone!

"By the way, you used illusion magic too?"

Otherwise, why would they stay in the car the whole time?

"I hypnotized all those monsters' minions. They're clearly human, so why..."

Hypnosis?!

Before Takagawa Ryu could say anything, the big fox, Fujiwara Chika, and Shijo Maki all suddenly got excited.

No.

What are you doing?!

“Using spiritual power to seal an opponent’s will or actions is a very simple thing, especially against ordinary people…”

Kikyo's voice was very, very soft, but she said something terrifying. Even though being hypnotized by a beautiful shrine maiden doesn't seem like a bad deal, does it?

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about such strange things!

Looking at the beautiful girl named Kikyo in front of me, with her meticulous traditional shrine maiden attire—she even carried a large bow and a magic-expelling arrow!

The same traditional Hime cut with straight black hair and bangs, tied into a small ponytail at the back of the head, and most importantly, a cool and quiet temperament, but in those brown eyes, there is an incomparably firm look.

Is she really a shrine maiden who traveled from the Warring States period hundreds of years ago to the modern era?!

Gao Chuanlong never expected this.

I received a call from my grandfather yesterday, so I packed my bags early this morning and called Tsukumo Yuki to ask him to take care of the son and adopted daughter that Fuheshge had entrusted to me (after all, I can't take them back to Kyoto at this time).

Takagawa Ryu's idea was that if that child named Fushiguro Megumi really inherited the "Ten Shadows" technique, then it would be good to keep him in the Takagawa family to be trained as a sorcerer, at least it would be better than going to a cesspool like the Zenin family.

Moreover, the Gao family is indeed short-staffed right now; Grandma keeps nagging about "expanding the company's operations and recruiting new employees."

Yuki Tsukumo will stay in Tokyo for a while longer.

This guy used to run around everywhere, and now it's finally time for him to pay the price. He's still tracking down Gojo Satoru, whose body has been taken over by Sukuna.

Apparently, there's a lead.

Eyewitness reports indicate that she was with a man with long silver hair and an ugly, short monster—the man was likely also a monster, as they were all dressed in rather old-fashioned costumes.

In this era, those who dress like that are basically monsters, because most of them have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and their aesthetic sense has become what it is.

In short, the Nura Clan, who are in charge of the yokai in the Kanto region, all said that no one recognized these two guys and that they were probably from out of town.

and.

According to the information gathered, Gojo Satoru's situation seems a bit strange.

The specifics of what this strange method entailed were not explained by the ninety-nine yogis.

She had made a promise to herself that as long as she received a signal, she would "shut down" Sukuna to ensure that their mission to retrieve Gojo Satoru's body would be completed smoothly.

There are no problems on Gaochuanlong's side, of course.

then……

……

"Takagawa, does time travel really exist?"

We chatted about a bunch of random things.

Kaguya Shinomiya has hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, it exists."

Takagawa Rin believed what Kikyo said: she was taking a nap under a tree in the village, but when she woke up, she was already on this train.

"It's like another world also exists..."

"No, that's absolutely impossible, and what would you even want to go to another world for now?!"

"I was just using an analogy."

Why did you suddenly become stressed?

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him resentfully, Takagawa Ryu was a little confused. What did it have to do with her that he wanted to go to another world?

"Legend has it that there are indeed certain places that connect to different times and spaces, like wells, cherry blossom trees, Nobita's desk drawer, and even the toilet..."

"Doraemon doesn't count! What's with the last one?!"

"Starting today, I will be the Demon King."

"I already said anime doesn't count!!"

Chika Fujiwara also joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary

Kikyo listened in bewilderment, seemingly completely confused.

"In short, there are indeed legends of time travel, and there are ways to do it."

such as.

Like Sukuna, a ghost or deity from a thousand years ago whose consciousness has been dormant for so long, and then suddenly resurrected in modern times, isn't that a kind of "time travel"?

And the only thing Kikyo cared about was...

Is there a way to get back?

The village needs to be protected by itself.

There's also the Shikon Jewel. The clan leader of the exorcists asked me to purify it, but there are just too many demons coveting it. I've only been in charge for a few days, and I've already repelled countless demon attacks.

And without self-protection...

"Don't worry, there might be a way."

Moreover.

"What year is Miss Kikyo from?"

"what."

Kikyo thought for a moment, then spoke.

"The first year of Mingying".

"1492."

The shrine maiden in front of them was even younger than Kaguya Shinomiya and the others, probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.

But the spiritual power is ridiculously high.

At least at the "S" level, and if you have a lot of practical experience, then you should be at the "S~" level.

Are they "supermen" unique to the Warring States period?

Takagawa Ryu remembered what his grandfather had said yesterday: a great yokai named "SS" had appeared in Kyoto.

Aside from the mythological era, only the Warring States period possessed such powerful yokai as the Yamata no Orochi.

Both a great monster and a priestess from the Warring States period have come to the modern era.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

"Anyway, we're going to Kyoto, want to come along?"

Let's find a helper first.

"Kyoto?"

"Heian-kyo, or rather Luoyang."

Is that what the Warring States period was called?

Back then, when daimyo went to Kyoto, it was indeed called "going to Kyoto"...

"Ah, is that the place filled with demonic energy?"

"Ah."

Even from the train, one could see the eerie aura in the sky ahead, resembling a giant vortex.

It's indeed a bit exaggerated.

Although ordinary people cannot see it.

"Ok."

After thinking for a while, Kikyo nodded, because this was better than her wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly in this world more than 500 years in the future.

"Let's rest first, we should arrive at our destination by evening..."

The train journey from Tokyo to Kyoto takes about two to three hours. I and the girls boarded the train in the afternoon and expect to arrive at our destination around 7 p.m.

Kikyo nodded.

A short while later, he actually fell asleep in the seats by the window.

Maybe he was just too tired?

I'd heard her mention before that she was a shrine maiden who protected the village. In a chaotic era like the Warring States period, where monsters roamed freely, it was normal for her to have a hard time.

Thinking like this.

Takakawa Ryu was also a little sleepy, and he and Minamoto Chizuru leaned against each other and fell asleep.

I also had a very tiring night last night.

The carriage gradually quieted down, and Kaguya Shinomiya and the others quietly closed their eyes, all drifting off to sleep.

This went on for quite some time...

……

Suburbs of Tokyo.

A cute girl with long brown hair and purple eyes saw Sesshomaru and his follower, the demon Jaken, into the car.

Are you really going to Kyoto?

"Ah."

The great demon from another dimension nodded, completely unaware of why it had come here. However, it was clearly visible that a massive amount of demonic energy was gathering in Heian-kyo in the distance. Such an unusual situation required it to investigate.

I need to find a way back as soon as possible; Ling is still waiting.

"Don't worry, this is a special bus from Tokyo to Kyoto."

"Hey! Woman, aren't you coming along?!"

Supporting the completely unconscious Gojo Satoru's body, Jaken grumbled in the back seat, after all, neither he nor Lord Sesshomaru were familiar with this world five hundred years in the future.
