Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"Let's eat lunch quickly."

"Lunch break will be over soon."

Kusanagi Godou sighed softly, then reached out and pushed open the door in front of him.

The glaring sunlight made him instinctively shield his eyes.

But it was precisely because of this that a beautiful sight appeared right before his eyes.

It was a sophisticated urban woman in a suit and a girl in their school uniform.

He knew that girl.

They weren't classmates of his, but they were in the class next to his.

——Banri Gu Yuri!

I've heard that many boys secretly like this girl because she embodies their perfect fantasy of the name "Yamato Nadeshiko".

(Strange, is this adult woman a member of Yuri Mariya's family?)

(It seems like Yuri Mariya is a little scared.)

"Well, you..."

Once he made up his mind, Kusanagi Godou almost instinctively reached out his hand.

"Kusanagi Godou, I have something to do."

"If you have something to do, let's talk about it another time."

How could Kusanagi Godou's intrusion possibly escape the notice of Mariya Yuri and Sayamiya Kaoru?

However, neither of them paid any attention to him at first.

Both of them were engaged in a heated discussion.

Nobody took Kusanagi Godou seriously.

However, in the end, Kusanagi Godou still managed to disturb them.

At the same time, they don't have much time left.

Yuri Mariya had no right to refuse; she knew this all too well.

So rather than saying that Kusanagi Godou disturbed them, it would be more accurate to say that Kusanagi Godou announced the end of the countdown to her.

"Ah, this..."

Kusanagi Godou's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, looking quite embarrassed.

The scent of gardenias lingered around his nose as the girl passed by, along with the loud slam of the door closing.

Kusanagi Godou awkwardly raised his hand, which had been hanging in mid-air, and used it to support the back of his head.

"Ah ha ha."

"Maybe nothing's wrong. I'd better hurry up and have lunch."

Inside the school's staircase.

Yuri Mariya and Kaoru Saya walked side by side.

"Don't shake, Yuri Mariya, you should be fine."

"This might even be your chance, you know?"

Saya Miyako directly pressed down on Mariya Yuri's trembling shoulders.

She knew what Yuri Mariya was afraid of.

Anyone who goes to see the Godslayer will be terrified.

After all, in the eyes of the people in the underworld, the god-slayer is synonymous with tyrant.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; serving a tyrant is even more unimaginable.

Especially in the past few years, Marquis Voban had recruited Yuri Mariya once because she was a priestess.

If it weren't for that stroke of luck, she would have died there long ago.

It's perfectly normal for her to be afraid and resist meeting the god-killer.

but!

The situation is different. Putting aside other factors, this time, Yuri Mariya really only has one way to survive: to see Makoto Haramura and get his protection.

After all, the Marquis of Voban is coming again.

The summoning ritual of the disobedient god is about to begin again, and as the most qualified shrine maiden, Yuri Mariya will definitely not be able to escape it.

Kaoru Saya explained all of this to Yuri Mariya.

Try your best to help Yuri Mariya relax.

Yuri Mariya's feet didn't stop moving, but her pearly white teeth repeatedly bit her thin lips.

"I know."

"You don't need to worry. Even without Marquis Voban's matter, I will definitely go if the Godslayer summons me."

"I was just worried about Hikari."

Yuri Mariya was already used to the fate of the shrine maiden.

She had long prepared herself for the day when she would die at the ceremony.

She was genuinely worried about her young sister.

"I think the King of Blazing Sun is not like Marquis Voban."

"Try to take it easy."

Aside from offering verbal comfort, there was nothing more that Saya Miyako could do.

After all, she herself was still in a precarious position in front of Makoto Haramura.

They have no right to speak or plead for them.

……

Erica picked up the black tea that Liliana had just brewed and showed an expression of appreciation with a leisurely and contented look.

"Lily, the tea is well brewed."

"Whether it tastes good or not is not important to you."

Liliana rolled her eyes at Erica, who was sitting on the sofa and showed absolutely no chivalry, with annoyance.

“It’s delicious, Lily.”

"To be able to transform something ordinary into something like this is already a testament to exceptional skill."

Makoto Haramura gently put down his teacup and spoke softly to Liliana.

Liliana's attitude was also completely different from how she treated Erica.

"As long as you like it."

"Okay, Lily, open the door, they've arrived."

Liliana opened the door somewhat shyly, and the two people who had just been outside came in.

Saya Miyako, along with the junior high school girl following behind her.

The girl was timid and hesitant, dressed in an ordinary junior high school uniform, as if she had just finished school. What was noteworthy was the girl's hair, which was quite rare, a black color with a strong brown tint.

Of course, her face is also very exquisite.

But once you've seen enough beautiful women, you get used to it, and Makoto Haramura doesn't really care about it.

"N-Nice to meet you. I am Yuri Mariya, and I have come in response to the King's summons. Please forgive me if I have offended you..."

Mariya Yuri lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.

She is afraid.

Ordinary people might never see a king in their lifetime, but she met the god-slaying demon king twice in a row, an experience that almost made the poor girl faint.

But she couldn't do it, because being disrespectful in front of the king was not just a matter of life and death for the individual, but could also bring unimaginable disaster to her family and friends.

"It was I who so rudely summoned Miss Wanligu. Please forgive me."

Makoto Haramura gave a charming smile and offered a small consolation to Yuri Mariya.

"No, no, it's my pleasure to serve you."

These words did sound very pleasant, making Yuri Mariya feel less like a plaything and more like a commodity.

But getting her to agree so easily is absolutely impossible.

She doesn't have that kind of guts.

However, it seems that this god-slayer is not quite the same as the Marquis of Vauban.

Yuri Mariya secretly glanced at Makoto Haramura, then realized that he was also looking at her, and hurriedly looked away.

...a very handsome boy.

The tea-haired shrine maiden thought to herself, blushing slightly.

Chapter 316 Naive Ideas

No matter what you say or how you question it, when a person has a good appearance, it will initially increase the other person's positive impression.

After all, it takes time to understand the inner workings of something.

Its appearance is immediately apparent.

Especially Makoto Haramura's appearance.

He is born with an alluring quality. Unless one's own cultivation is extremely strong, just seeing his face will instantly max out one's favorability.

For some girls who are already obsessed with looks, it has an irresistible allure.

Yuri Mariya is not someone who is obsessed with looks.

However, compared to Marquis Voban, her attitude towards Haramura Makoto was ultimately somewhat different upon their first meeting.

In particular, Haramura Makoto's initial impression of her was that he was very gentle.

"I won't say any more."

"I'm somewhat interested in the power of the Priestess Higanbana, so I want to see it for myself."

With a flick of his wrist, a silver-gray stone slab appeared in Haramura Makoto's palm.

"Is this item... a divine artifact related to the gods?"

Yuri Mariya glanced at it, and like Kaoru Saya, she couldn't see any dazzling divine light in the silver-gray stone slab.

"Yes, your job is to find out his origins and his specific role."

Makoto Haramura buried himself completely in the sofa, squinted his eyes, and casually said.

Each shrine maiden has a different area of ​​expertise.

Some shrine maidens excel at sealing, some at attacking, and some at healing.

However, what they all have in common is that these shrine maidens are skilled in one ability.

That is—'Spiritual Vision'!

"I'll give it a try."

This matter was very simple for Yuri Mariya.

As she spoke, Yuri Mariya closed her eyes, her entire body still radiating a pale green light.

Speaking of "vision," such things are based on probability.

It's like shooting an air gun with your eyes closed—it's all guesswork.

An individual's qualifications merely make the veil covering their eyes thinner, allowing them to easily receive divine revelation from the myths of the underworld.

Gradually, the green light around Wanli Valley Yuri intensified, a sign of divine revelation, proving that this spiritual vision was a great success.
