Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

Page 145

Even she only learned the inside story of this myth from Amaterasu Omikami:

"That was an era when gods and monsters still roamed the mortal world. A celestial maiden from the moon palace descended to earth and came across a hot spring on her way. She was tempted and took a bath in it. Then, a villager nearby happened to see this and took away her clothes that were hanging on a tree branch."

Volume 1: Chapter 160 Do I Look Too Much Like Princess Kaguya?

At this point, Bishamonten suddenly glared angrily at Kujo Toru.

Because she discovered that her current situation was exactly the same as that of the celestial maiden, except that she was being forced to take off her clothes.

Fueled by anger, she asked Kujo Toru a question:

"Given how things have developed, how do you think things will unfold next?"

Although Kujo Toru was somewhat puzzled by her sudden angry glare, he still answered her:

"Logically speaking, the celestial maiden should have married the villager who stole the clothes, and then left behind a story of the two supporting each other through thick and thin..."

"Oh."

Bishamonten sneered, about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Kujo Toru:

"But from a realistic point of view, I guess that celestial maiden took direct action, right?"

Although it was a guess, Kujo Toru's tone was quite certain.

Myths are myths, and reality is reality.

Especially considering that Bishamonten mentioned Princess Kaguya earlier.

As a princess of the moon palace, encountering this situation would certainly not be the kind of love story imagined in mythology.

Kujo Toru only mentioned the most likely scenario.

In fact, his guess was correct.

"...That's right, the celestial maiden slaughtered the entire village."

"Did it affect the entire village? That doesn't sound like something Princess Kaguya could do."

If it were just the ringleaders who were punished, Kujo Toru could accept it, since people have to pay the price for their actions.

However, such a brutal act as massacring an entire village seems unlikely to be the work of a true god; it's more like the work of a malevolent spirit.

"Yes, it was not the celestial maiden herself who actually did this."

Bishamonten took a breath and continued:

"Not long after descending to the mortal realm, the celestial maiden was corrupted by the filth and resentment of the mortal world. The one who committed such a sin was nothing more than a great demon in the body of a celestial maiden."

"And then what happened?" Kujo Toru pressed.

Myth and reality are separated here.

There was no romantic proposal, no pitiful princess in the bamboo forest.

There is only one-sided massacre caused by voyeurism and theft, and a deified incarnation who has fallen into demonic ways.

"Later, a very powerful mage happened to pass by, discovered all of this, and sealed it away."

Bishamonten revealed the final outcome.

This surprised Kujo Toru somewhat.

"There are actually human mages this powerful?"

This is the legendary Princess Kaguya. Even though the gods of this world are generally weak, the ability to seal her away is quite terrifying.

Bishamonten slowly shook his head:

"It's just that the Heavenly Maiden had only recently fallen from grace, and since the Heavenly Feather Robe hadn't been retrieved, she couldn't fully unleash her power."

However, hundreds of years have passed. After such a long time, things will not be so simple once the seal is broken.

Thinking of this, Bishamonten sighed inwardly.

She actually had a lingering worry about what happened to Kagami Kuya.

In this era, the gods are weakening due to the lack of faith, while the population growth and increasing pressure are making people's negative emotions more and more intense, and the foul air is growing, which benefits monsters.

Given this shift in power, even if Amaterasu Ōmikami intends to lead the gods to defeat Kamiya, can they really win under these circumstances?

Kujo Toru understood this, so his expression was very serious.

He snapped his fingers.

The azure spiritual ropes binding Bishamonten's wrists and ankles instantly turned into specks of light and dissipated.

Losing its pull, the blonde Valkyrie's body plummeted downwards.

But she was, after all, a battle-hardened goddess of war.

Using the strength of his waist in mid-air, he landed steadily on the tatami mat.

Because of the long period of suspension, his steps were slightly unsteady.

She looked up, staring at Kujo Toru with a wary expression.

His hands instinctively went to protect his chest.

She curled up in the corner, trying to cover her body as much as possible.

"Don't look at me like that. When it comes to Kagaya's problem alone, we're actually on the same side."

Kujo Toru glanced at her and asked a crucial question:

"By the way, how did you mistake me for her?"

As he spoke, Kujo Toru pointed to himself:

"No matter what, the gender alone doesn't match up, does it?"

When this matter was brought up, Bishamonten turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

Because it was indeed her who made a mistake.

He even felt a sense of self-satisfaction, thinking that even if he died here, he would weaken Kujo Toru's power as much as possible.

In fact, as Kujo Toru said, once you calm down a bit, you'll realize that he can't possibly be Kamiya.

However, Bishamonten also had his own reasons.

She glared at Kujo Toru with a hint of annoyance: "Because Kagami Kuya is the incarnation of Tsukiyo Miki!"

If it weren't for the magical artifact at his waist that seemed to be the Kusanagi, which had some connection to the Three Nobles, she wouldn't have made that guess.

Outside the door. Ling Liu Si Liu Qi Ba Er Ba X

Yato and Yukine sat side by side under the long corridor of the back hall, looking just like two guardian beasts, protecting the door for Kujo Toru.

Hiyori Iki looked at the messy shrine with a worried expression, pondering how much it would cost to repair it and where she would get the money. She had no intention of chatting at all.

Before the two of them, Bishamonten's complete set of clothes had disappeared, replaced by a pile of figures lying on the ground.

Zhao Ma clutched her chest, struggled to her feet, and her face was pale.

He glanced at his fellow artifacts, who were lying unconscious on the ground, and then looked at the rear hall with concern.

"Stop looking, we can't get involved."

Yato offered him a word of advice, then shrugged, clearly resigned to his fate:

"Besides, Kujo isn't a bad person. He's just asking her some questions. He won't do anything inappropriate to her. Let's put our minds at ease."

Zhaoma sighed softly: "What I'm worried about is Pina, with her personality..."

A high-EQ way of saying it is to be unyielding and display one's true colors; a low-EQ way of saying it is to be stubborn and inflexible.

Zhaoma was genuinely afraid that Kujo Tetsu would get angry and take action directly.

However, the rear hall was protected by a barrier, so he couldn't do anything except worry about it, not to mention that Yato was watching him.

We can only hope that Bishamonten's attitude will soften a little.

Ultimately, the fault lies with ourselves.

If they hadn't been chasing Yato, and hadn't made a blunder halfway through due to their own overthinking, none of this would have happened.

"What's wrong with my personality?!"

Bishamonten's angry voice came from behind the door.

Before Zhaoma could react, the opponent had already begun summoning their divine artifact:

"Ramba!"

Ancient seal characters appeared in the air, and the girl lying on the ground instantly transformed into a stream of light and flew into the room.

The barrier had been removed at some point.

A ray of light shone through the window, but vanished in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Bishamonten, dressed in armor and a long skirt, walked out with his head held high.

She still retains that noble and unapproachable Valkyrie appearance.

However, anger still lingered on his face.

Volume 1: Chapter 161 Our Communication Was Harmonious

After carefully examining Bishamonten, he found that she had no injuries, only a slightly rosy complexion.

Zhao Ma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it seems they weren't hurt.

Then, at Bishamonten's call, he transformed back into a cherry blossom earring and landed on his earlobe.

Kujo Toru followed closely behind and walked out of the room.

Yato quickly stood up, dusted off his trousers, moved closer to him, and whispered:

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, the other party was very friendly and cooperative, and the matter is over."

Kujo Toru nodded.

Bishamonten, who was gathering the divine artifacts from the ground back onto his body, heard his words and immediately turned his head.

Her purplish-red eyes were quite sharp.

Under this oppressive feeling, Yato and Yukine both took a half step back.

Yato would never believe that he was so friendly.

He admitted that, given that crazy woman's temper, even if she was beaten down, as long as she still had a weapon, she would definitely grit her teeth and continue to fight desperately.

Stripping her bare is indeed the most effective and safest way to interrogate her.

but.

That's Bishamonten!

The strongest martial god in Takamagahara!

Being interrogated while suspended in a room was worse than being killed.

The sound of steady, powerful footsteps rang out.

The scattered figures on the ground had disappeared.

Only the lion Qunba remained, limping behind the blonde Valkyrie.

Wearing a military overcoat, Bishamonten walked down the steps of the rear hall and looked up at Kujo Toru.

Eyes facing each other.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Are we going to start fighting again?
