Chapter 13: The Soul Monster's True Heart
Bai Yulou, kitchen-
"Excuse me, are you late? Demon ...... Fear. Sakura pulled open a black hole and appeared in the kitchen. Originally, according to Sakura's habit, it was necessary to add honorifics to address strange men, but the upper body of the demon was dressed as a pseudo-mother, so she couldn't "respect" it.
"Wow, is it Miss Misaka?"
"Ah, isn't it rude not to come in through the main entrance? I'm sorry, I just chased the paparazzi a little bit. Sakura Misaka said reviewingly. ”
"No, that's not the case, but I didn't expect Miss Misaka to have similar abilities to Lord Yakumo-sama. Youji said.
"My lord, doesn't it seem that your status here is not low?"
"Yes, it's Yuyuko-sama's best friend. By the way, the person you're looking for was also taken in by Lord Yakumo Murasaki. Youji said again.
"I see," Sakura sensed it, and found that the three tailed beasts were together, and it seemed that there was no problem, so she ignored it for the time being, anyway, just confirm the condition of the Nine Lamas, and she was not familiar with him, "Then, I'll help you get the ingredients." Sakura Misaka said as she prepared to make good on her promise. ”
"But how can you get a guest to do such a thing?"
"Isn't that what I said before?" Sakura began to wave her hand and conjure up unprocessed ingredients from the original list.
"Huh...... Isn't that a polite remark...... No, it's still not good, it doesn't matter, the ingredients here are similar!" Youji put his hands forward and wanted to refuse politely, but he put on a seemingly firm expression-
"I said-" Sakura looked at the hands that caused him to be held by the monster at a 45-degree angle, and the blue and white concentric eyes moved, sure enough, in this way, he could feel the feeling that the monster was a serious and responsible man, these muscular hands must have worked hard for the existence that he wanted to protect with his life.
"Ah......hh I'm sorry!" Yuji jerked loose and took a few steps back, leaning against the wall.
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" said Sakura Misaka speechlessly. ”
"Wow, wow!" Ghost Maru appeared at the kitchen door at this time.
"No, Ghost Maru, you misunderstood, I know, I didn't actually ............ Miss Misaka just now" Youji hurriedly wanted to explain.
"No, it's not a problem, I'm a little confused to tell you, Sister Yuyuko left with your shorter sword and Kinara, and was taken away by a blonde aunt with a parasol because there was something wrong with their expressions............ "Yukimaru said.
"Ah," Youji was stunned, as if he remembered something, and his face suddenly turned ugly, "Could it be that Lord Yuyuko wants to ............?"
"What's going on?" asked Sakura Misaka. ”
"Well, in recent decades, there have been many dead people with some cultivation inside and outside the Great Enchantment in the present world, and the resentful spirits have not been able to come to the underworld, but have been used as food by the Westbound Demon, and it is not a strange thing that the Westbound Demon will occasionally absorb the resentful souls of the dead, but the Westbound Demon has become strange, and it seems to be dominated by some strong resentful will, and it has become unrestrained, so it is only a matter of time before the imbalance is imbalanced............" Youji said.
"With all that said, what does it have to do with your princess, and what is the Westward Demon?" Sakura asked.
"Don't you know? Legend has it that a singer wished her soul to sleep forever under the cherry blossoms, so she planted a cherry tree there, and then her soul rested there, but the cherry tree became a monster at some point, distorting the wishes of the planters and constantly attracting resentful spirits, but that was just a legend. But Yuyuko-sama does have the ability to lead living beings to death, and it is also the ability of the Westward Demon to absorb resentful spirits, and there is no doubt about the existence of the 'key'. ”
"So?"
"Originally, this matter has spread in the underworld, I originally thought that I would at least hide it from Lord Yuyuko, I am the sword that guards Lord Yuyuko, no matter what the price is, I will protect Lord Yuyuko to the end, even if it is the enemy of the whole world...... Sorry for saying something disrespectful. Youji said.
"No, I'm the one I am," Sakura said, "and I accidentally asked something I shouldn't have asked." But if it's me, I'm sure I'll say the same thing, right? Miss Yuyuko would be happy to hear you say that. ”
"Huh?"
"So don't let me be treated like a third party in front of her, thank you. Sakura Misaka said angrily. ”
"Ahh......h Do I like Yuyuko-sama? How can this be, I'm just a court master. ”
"I said, did you confess to me just to hide your sincerity? Although I don't have much experience in ordinary love, I can see your feelings. Sakura Misaka said unhappily. "It's a lie, Sakura can't help but use her mind-reading ability on Youji for a split second.
"But, even so, now...... It's late. Youji shed tears, "Since she is with Lord Yakumo Zi and still carries the White Mansion Sword, then she must already know about it, the White Mansion Sword is the sword that makes the undead ascend to heaven, Lord Youyuzi, must be planning to end the westward demon's rampage with her own disappearance." ”
"Is that enough?"
"What else can I do, because it's about the entire underworld, and it's Yuyuko-sama's own decision, and how can I ............ Hehe, I'm so stupid, I obviously see that Yuyuko-sama is so abnormal this day, and her already big food has increased a lot, why didn't she find out that this was her last meal, and she didn't even make Yuyuko-sama's last meal, I'm really a useless court master............"
"Hmph. When Sakura heard this, she lowered her head, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes that were covered by bangs.
"Smack!" Sakura slapped the demon in the face: "This is the first time I've slapped someone in the face, you just said that you have to protect Yuyuko Sakura no matter what, and where is the momentum that you don't hesitate to be the enemy of the world?"
Soul Demon and Sekyuko of Saigyoji Temple are just the existence of Pingshui meeting for Sakura, and it has nothing to do with her at all, but after discovering the decisions made by these two people, Sakura feels very unhappy.
Sakura picked up the jealousy that seemed to be a little fanned, and said loudly, "Why, don't you find a way to save her?"
"But...... That's something that even Yakumo-sama can't solve, how can I, ............"
"Yakumo Purple, I've heard this name many times, it seems to be an existence with good strength and status, I'll confirm these later, right? Now I just think that Miss Yuyuko dressed you up as a girl, it seems that it is really too 'correct', you who have been completely mother-in-law, you must not have the courage to stop her from committing suicide, right? Misaka Sakura said super unhappily!"
