Among the eight million gods, there is a good and a bad.

There are both righteous gods residing in Takamagahara and local mountain gods protecting the region.

There are gods who are worshipped after they die, and similarly, there are monsters or evil spirits who are worshipped as gods because of their evil deeds.

The term "祟神" (sui shen) specifically refers to the last type of deity.

It's tricky.

This was the only thought in Kujo Toru's mind.

Judging from the reverse blocking of the spirit-pulling technique just now, this evil spirit is not the kind of minor monster worshipped in rural villages.

At the very least, it's the kind of deity that circulates in a small area.

"I'm still not strong enough..."

With a sigh, Kujo Toru rubbed his temples.

After cleaning the main hall, the door was closed again.

At his current level, dealing with vengeful spirits and newly born little demons is a piece of cake, but dealing with a demon like Ushi-no-Oni who has some potential requires his full effort.

The sudden appearance of a malevolent spirit is really stressful.

We need to upgrade as soon as possible.

Look at the system panel in your mind.

After a full week, the [Training] icon has lit up again.

Recalling his previous experience, Kujo Toru lay down on the bed and clicked on the app.

I wonder what this training mission will be like.

Consciousness is gradually sinking.

The words appeared before my eyes:

[Virtual world has been loaded]

[Trial Mission: A Grand Escape Under the Sunlight]

[Basic Information: A girl with a body like crystal is trapped in a cage called fate, yearning to step into the world of freedom. As the chief priest of the purification shrine, you hear the girl's prayer and resolve to lead her towards tomorrow.]

Basic Rewards: 2 Skill Points, 1 Bronze Chest

[Special Reward: ???]

You have obtained the corresponding world identity template.

Dark clouds hung heavily over Tokyo.

A torrential downpour connected heaven and earth.

The water droplets shattered into pieces on the ground.

A hazy mist rose up.

Kujo Toru stood under the eaves, holding a black umbrella, looking up at the sky, somewhat speechless.

Another storm.

Am I just too destined to experience rainy days in this world?

A familiar power surged within him, and the temporary skill that appeared on his panel was still [Word of Power: Dustless Land].

Clearly, this trial is taking place in the same world as the last one.

However, unlike last time, there is no countdown box in the upper left corner this time.

"It seems that not every trial has a time limit?"

Kujo Toru made his own guess and looked back at the information on the system panel.

Judging from the literal meaning of the description, it should be that he was asked to escape with a young girl.

And the duration... should be until tomorrow?

Does "tomorrow" actually have any special meaning? Also, what exactly constitutes "tomorrow"?

Is it past midnight? Or is it going to be a full day?

"This piece of junk doesn't speak human language; you have to guess what it's doing even when you're on a mission."

With a helpless complaint, Kujo Toru shook his head, left the eaves, and stepped into the downpour.

Despite the criticism, the experience still needs to be gained.

Based on my experience from the previous training missions, the target of this mission will most likely be nearby.

If you look around a bit more, you should be able to find it.

The streets were deserted.

Only the figure of Kujo Toru alone, holding a black umbrella.

Almost the instant they entered the rain, the hem of their snow-white hunting robe was soaked.

Everything in sight was blurry.

The buildings standing on both sides resemble gray tombstones.

The bustling metropolis was transformed into a desolate wasteland by the torrential rain.

There were no pedestrians or vehicles.

All I could hear was the cacophony of rain washing over everything.

The traffic lights on the road stand alone, counting down the seconds.

Kujo Toru walked through this gray world.

A vibrant crimson caught his eye.

Her dark red long hair was tied back with white sandalwood paper.

The white robes and scarlet trousers were completely soaked by the torrential rain, clinging tightly to the girl's body.

Damp bangs clung to her forehead, and glistening water streamed down her cheeks.

Her pretty and lovely face was full of confusion, and her bright red eyes stared blankly at the flashing traffic lights.

Without an umbrella or any shelter from the rain, I just stood there, stunned.

Like an abandoned fawn.

"So you want to escape from here, don't you?"

A calm voice sounded behind the girl, causing her to turn around instinctively.

In the gloomy, rain-soaked world, a boy in a snow-white hunting robe held a black umbrella and quietly watched her.

Volume 1: Chapter 28 Three Sentences Lend Away the Little Monster

Erii Uesugi wants to see Tokyo.

This dream had been buried in her heart for a long time.

But when exactly did it start?

The girl didn't know.

Where in Tokyo should we go?

The girl didn't know either.

But she just wanted to see.

Watching the cherry blossoms fall in spring.

Watch the couple's joyful laughter.

Look at the bustling and noisy city.

Look at the starry night sky.

She didn't like spending all her time in that room filled with the scent of sandalwood.

Although it was a little world that belonged only to her.

But her brother wouldn't let her go out, and Erii Uesugi knew that very well.

She was aware that her health was in very poor condition.

but.

Seeds will eventually take root and sprout.

The dreams buried deep in our hearts will eventually come to fruition.

So, for the first time in her life, Uesugi Erii, who had always been a well-behaved and obedient child, became a bad child.

When the doctor in the white coat came to administer her stabilizing serum as usual, she knocked him unconscious.

That should mean he knocked her unconscious, right?

Recalling the cracking of bones in her neck, Erii Uesugi felt a little insecure.

She even went to anime to learn how to make this happen.

But she quickly put those questions out of her mind.

Anyway, the uncle in the white coat is in good health, so it doesn't matter if he uses a bit more force.

Her rose-red eyes were filled with joy.

They looked like elementary school students on their first spring outing.

[Brother, Erii is running away from home!]

Leaving behind a palm-sized note, she stood in front of her "door," her dazzling golden eyes suddenly lighting up.

Indifferent, heartless, ethereal.

Her cherry lips parted slightly.

The goddess delivered her judgment upon the creature before her.

A special alloy steel plate, half a meter thick, cracked silently.

The little monster stepped out of the cage that had never been able to confine her.

But after successfully walking out of the gate and arriving at the crossroads, the girl felt lost.

This is a world that doesn't belong to her.

Everything was so unfamiliar.

Strangers, unfamiliar surroundings, unfamiliar vehicles...

That question was brought up again.

Where should I go?

Staring blankly at the changing colors of the traffic lights, Erii Uesugi watched the pedestrians come and go all by herself.

Until a muffled rumble of thunder sounded on the horizon.

The rain poured down.

-----------------

"Little Lord……"

The crow opened its mouth with a hint of fear.

On the steel plate with its perfectly smooth cut, showing no signs of cutting, the young man sat dejectedly, burying his face in his hands.

In my memory, it was always a long, majestic trench coat fluttering in the wind, but now it was all wrinkled.

The magnificent ukiyo-e prints on the lining seemed to have lost their former luster.

This was the first time the crow had ever seen its young master in such a state.

He was completely different from the cold-blooded, ruthless, and swift-wielding emperor of the Snake Clan.
