Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

In order to continue to be treated that way, whether gently or harshly, Kisara would never let her master die.

"Pickled mustard greens, pickled mustard greens, pickled mustard greens, pickled mustard greens..."

Like a loyal dog, the pink-haired girl dragged her badly injured body to Himeragi Yukina's side.

Her most, most, most beloved owner was sitting with his eyes closed, leaning against the corner of the wall.

It was as if he were dead.

"S-Sukina...?"

The girl's lovely expression, after a moment of grief and disbelief, became as empty as death.

"What are you yelling about, you stupid dog!"

A hand lovingly stroked Mokusei's hair.

Himeragi Yukina opened her eyes, looking radiant, showing no signs of being seriously injured.

She healed her injuries in the God Realm, customized her own cheat system, enjoyed a big meal, snuggled in Sirin's arms and played games with Kiana for a while, and finally had a nice nap before returning.

"Yukina! You're alive!!"

Kisara's eyes lit up with ecstasy, his emptiness and murderous intent softening like a pet's, but a moment later they turned into suspicion.

"Where did Setsuna go to change her clothes?"

Seeing Yukina wearing a blue and white school uniform from Ayakai Academy, the pink-haired devil thought he had fallen under the enemy's illusion.

The demon girl, looking wary, nimbly lay down and sniffed Yukina's feet, which were clad in small black leather shoes.

Then he let his guard down and revealed a goofy smile.

"There's no mistake, it smells like pickled mustard greens!!"

“……[○?｀Д'? ○]”

Himeragi Yukina's eye twitched.

But she couldn't be bothered to argue with such a loyal pink-haired dog, so she made hand gestures and chanted incantations.

A fresh and natural scent enveloped Kisara, healing her injuries in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore! And the wound isn't bleeding anymore!"

"That's good."

"Hehe, thank you, Xuecai. Xuecai is so nice."

Kisara, who snuggled into her arms and acted coquettishly, asked curiously, "Was that just now... a special technique from the Lion King Organization?"

Mu was well aware of his master's strength.

Himeragi Yukina's stats aren't high, but in terms of her extensive knowledge of magic, it's estimated that no other magic user in the world could match her. It's not surprising that she has some secret techniques that can quickly heal injuries.

What Mokusei is worried about is whether this spell will have any side effects.

Yukina shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm different now."

A gleaming blue Kunwu sword appeared in her hand, which she casually tossed into the air!

In an instant, the sword energy surged forth, and in less than a breath, the sword was back in her hand.

In the distance, the magic squad that ambushed her with missiles, as well as the bounty hunters who had lurked around trying to capture her and Kisara, were all turned into a pile of mangled corpses.

Himeragi Yukina sighed softly.

"Without a key, it cannot be opened; without a rope, it cannot be broken."

"Now I finally understand that the only thing that binds me is myself, and the only thing that can unlock all my potential is myself."

In short: It was all my own hard work; I didn't open any doors!

"So handsome! Setsuna is so handsome!"

Upon hearing such an impressive-sounding but incomprehensible sentence, Kisara's eyes, as usual, flashed with admiration, greatly satisfying Setsuna's desire to show off.

For someone who enjoys showing off, having a professional straight man by their side is essential.

"Setsuna!"

A frightened young girl's voice came from afar.

She was a tall, beautiful girl with brown hair and gorgeous, elegant features that reminded one of blooming cherry blossoms.

She was Himeragi Yukina's best friend in her life.

Lion King Maiden, Kirasaka Sayaka.

"You guy!"

Kisara immediately bared his teeth at this "love rival" he had only seen in photos.

"Silly dog, be quiet."

Gently patting Kisara's head, Himeragi Yukina's eyes were complicated: "You actually sent you to hunt me down, the Three Saints are indeed cunning... Sayaka, they say even old friends still hold their swords, do you really want to kill me?"

"Not at all!"

Kirasaka roared through gritted teeth, "How could I possibly hurt Yukina!? I only left Takagami no Mori because I was worried about Yukina. Ahhhhhh I'll definitely be severely punished by Eido-sensei when I go back, but I... I can't care about that anymore!"

"Then you really shouldn't have come."

"How could I not come..."

She and Setsuna were fellow shrine maidens, and they had lived together since they were seven years old. More than blood relatives, they were like true sisters.

Although this guy always sneaks into Setsuna's bed when she's not in the room, wraps himself in her blanket, and looks blissful.

But we're sisters, we're sisters!

Don't think of her as a lesbian; she appears to be gay, but she becomes straight whenever she meets Akatsuki Kojou in the anime.

Himeragi Yukina looked at the girl who regarded her as her own sister and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Go back, Sayaka. I am already the biggest traitor in the history of the Lion King Organization. You are no longer suitable to meet with me in private."

“I don’t understand!”

Sayaka roared, "I simply don't understand why Setsuna would do something like that!"

The priestesses of the Lion King Organization all know that Yukina Himeragi infiltrated the Japanese mainland and conspired with demons to murder seven cabinet ministers.

But no one knows why she did it.

The three saints were too ashamed to say it outright, and gave the reason that "she was bewitched by a demon."

"It's all because of this demon!"

Kisara retorted, not to be outdone: "Huh?"

"It was this pink thing that bewitched you, wasn't it, Setsuna?"

"You woman, you know absolutely nothing! Setsuna was about to be given to men to be played with, that's why she escaped!"

"what?"

Sayaka stared blankly: "Who?"

“The Fourth Ancestor’s older brother.”

"That person's name is Akatsuki Kojou, right? I remember him, but that doesn't seem right..."

Yukina smiled at her: "Just by sending a beautiful sword sorceress over, we can potentially recruit a top-tier combatant. What's wrong with that?"

“But, but…”

"No buts."

The night breeze brushed her face, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"The past is as dead as yesterday."

"Everything that follows is like the birth of today."

"During my time outside the Lion King organization, I unexpectedly discovered that, apart from being on the run, I actually had more free time than before to do what I wanted to do."

"I have more time to read novels, watch movies, and go to the arcade with Kisaragi to play video games. I no longer have to rack my brains every day to become stronger, kneel in front of that curtain and listen to those three old men's nonsense, or do those never-ending tasks."

"There is something new in my life."

She said very seriously, "I think this is what freedom is."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

A girl with long, straight black hair emerged from the shadows, carrying a guitar case on her back, clapping and laughing at the same time.

"Well said. This is the first time I've heard someone equate ingratitude with freedom. I must say, as expected of you, Himeragi Yukina?"

"I will naturally repay the kindness of the Lion King Organization."

Xuecai raised her hand.

He held a three-pointed, double-edged spear in his hand, its cold light gleaming.

"For example, the Six Blades, Himesaki Kiriha, who helped deal with the hostile force of the Agency, the Taishi Bureau."

"You are... the Black Sword Wizard?"

As a member of the Maiweiyuan organization, Sayaka is responsible for not only assassination but also intelligence gathering.

After hearing Yukina's words, she realized that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in black stockings was actually one of the Six Blades of the [Taishi Bureau].

"You even know my real name, Himeragi Yukina. You really are a very special person."

Like the Lion King Agency, the Taishi Bureau was a Japanese intelligence organization, and there was a fierce competition between the two departments.

As one of the Six Blades of the Imperial Observatory, Kiriha Himesaki was supposed to go to Itogami Island for a secret mission, but Yukina Himeragi went too far and caused too much trouble. The Cabinet was furious and mobilized almost all available forces to hunt down Yukina Himeragi.

Therefore, Kiriha Himizaki was also transferred away from Itogami Island and tracked all the way to Belon City.

The girl was dressed in all black.

Black school uniform, black tights, black shoes.

"Or is it that the Lion King Organization's spies in the Imperial Observatory are of such high rank that I should be afraid?"

She muttered to herself, her eyes burning as she gazed at the beautiful young woman.

"Hime, you really dare to do this..."

Whether it's the Lion King Organization or the Imperial Observatory, orphaned priestesses or priestesses are subjected to brainwashing-style loyalty education from a young age. There have been rebellions throughout history, but none have been as audacious as Yukina Himeragi.

Kiriha Himesaki didn't understand.

She felt an unprecedented excitement.

Despite her quiet and refined appearance, she is actually very competitive.

She was never convinced by Setsuna, the undisputed leader of the new generation of sword sorceresses: "I've always had a little doubt about whether you're stronger than me."

He pointed at her three-pointed double-edged spear and shook it.

"Now that you've found this place, let me see your true abilities."

"bring it on!"

Kiriha Himizaki ran and leaped, tossing the guitar case she was carrying high into the air.

Fiery red magical power gathered in her right hand.

"Eight Thunder God Techniques! Fire Thunder!"

A real flame seemed to rush towards Setsuna.

The beautiful young girl opened her mouth and, without even blinking, swallowed the ball of flame that could melt metal.

"???"

"You little brat who plays with knives and fire, you're not worthy to jump in front of me."

Whether it was Kisara, Sayaka Kirisaka, or Kiriha Himesaki, everyone who witnessed this scene felt like they were dreaming.

Is this human?

Himesaki Kiriha's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Illusion?"

Fortunately, she had a strong mental fortitude, and the fire and thunder attack was just a feint.
