Chapter 327: Psychic Shrine
Chapter 327: Psychic Shrine
Walking out of the aurora curtain, Xue arrived outside the torii gate of Mina Shrine.
As expected, at this moment the entire Mina Shrine has been completely shrouded by the barrier of "Rumor".
Xue snorted softly and summoned the Book of the Corona and the Holy Lance of Annihilation at the same time, effortlessly tearing a passage into the interior of the barrier.
As you step inside, the scene changes and what comes into view before Xue’s eyes is the place illuminated by the setting sun.
Countless red wooden bridges and torii gates were scattered all over the ground, and the red windmills were rustling in the breeze that came from nowhere.
"She's quite pretty~"
Xue quite liked the sunset scene in front of her, but unfortunately, this was inside the barrier of "Rumor", a place destined to dissipate.
"Huh? Found it."
Feeling Yachiyo's magical aura within the barrier, Xue took ten steps at a time and quickly rushed over there.
As soon as Yuki arrived at her destination, she saw Iroha unfolding her right arm bow and Yachiyo slumped on the ground.
On the red bridge not far from the two of them, a short-haired girl with silver hair and blue-green eyes was holding a red paper windmill and quietly watching the two of them, or rather, just watching Yachiyo.
"..."
Seeing this, Xue used her legs to exert force, leaped over Cai Yu from a very long distance, jumped in front of Yachiyo, and raised her hands to protect her.
"Sister Alicia!"
"Xiao Ai?"
It would be impossible for Iroha and Yachiyo not to be surprised by the appearance of Yuki.
"Chi-chan, she's not the real Mifuyu."
Yes, Xue and this silver-haired girl named Midori, whose full name is Azusa Midori, also know each other.
However, the one opposite her at this time was not the real her, but a fake entity materialized by the power of "rumor".
"Hmm? Xiao Ai, so you are also a magical girl?"
Looking at the sudden appearance of snow, the fake creature opposite showed a look of surprise on his face.
She was born from the image of Midyu in Yachiyo's memory, and naturally knew Alicia, the real Midyu and Yachiyo's mutual friend.
"..."
Xue didn't answer, but just stared at the other person. She had nothing to say about this fake person who stole her friend's image.
"Xiao Ai, your attitude is very cold. Could it be that you also suspect that I am not the real Meidong like Xiao Ba?"
The fake object responded with a conical blue flame spirit bullet that brushed past the hair on her left ear.
The Cang Yanling bomb landed behind the fake object, instantly turning the building behind it into a huge crater.
“…I won’t miss next time.”
Xue spoke coldly, her tone devoid of emotion.
"..."
Hearing this, the fake creature fell silent. The Alicia Tennouji in its memory was not such a decisive and murderous person - she should be a kind and quiet literature major who was silly and sweet.
"Ha... Looks like there's nothing we can do."
With a helpless sigh, the fake creature completed its transformation, and a crescent-shaped ring blade appeared in its hand.
Then there is no more then.
"Yeah, there's nothing I can do..."
Xue instantly appeared behind her, and the Holy Lance of Annihilation transformed into the zeroing mode of the Light Scythe.
"Dissipate, fake..."
et flash "Comet Flash"
The sickle blade flashed, and the fake creature's eyes widened suddenly. Before he could say anything, he turned into ashes on the spot.
Watching the scene happening before her eyes, Yachiyo's spirit was greatly shocked.
One of his friends had just eliminated another of his friends right in front of him, even though the latter was just a fake created by a "rumor"...
"Xiao Qian, calm down, it's okay."
Xue jumped in front of Yachiyo, squatted down and hugged her, and at the same time took out the Seed of Sorrow that she had prepared in case of emergency.
The Seed of Sorrow came into contact with Yachiyo's crescent-shaped soul gem, which was about to be completely devoured by filth.
The dark power began to shift visibly towards the Seed of Sorrow, and the Soul Gem gradually returned to its original sea blue color.
"Xiao Ai..."
Looking at the snow that was purifying her filth, Yachiyo's expression became somewhat complicated.
She suddenly realized that the Tennouji Alicia she used to know had changed a lot without her noticing.
Or maybe, this is her true character...
"I kept a few spares for myself just in case."
"Also, don't overthink it. I've always been me, always the same."
Xue saw what Yachiyo was thinking and felt somewhat helpless, but she could understand it.
After all, his fragmented clone in this world was just an ordinary, naive, top student in the literature and music department, totally different from the Valkyrie who looked heroic, valiant, and decisive.
"…Um."
Looking at the warm smile on Xue's face that had never changed, Yachiyo was silent for a few seconds and nodded.
"Master Yachiyo, Iroha... Sister Alicia!"
Not far away, Tsuruno arrived late and was stunned when he saw Xue was also there.
"Tsuruno."
"Tsuruno, are you okay?"
Aside, Iroha breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Tsuruno was unharmed.
"I don't know why, but the guys I was fighting with suddenly disappeared."
"disappear?"
"I thought it might be heading towards Iroha and the others, so I wrote its name on the scroll and it came in."
Tsuruno turned his gaze to Yuki as he spoke.
"By the way, Sister Alicia, when did you come in? I didn't see you outside the shrine."
Hearing this, Yachiyo and Iroha realized something was amiss. Could it be that this Alicia in front of them was also...
"You're overthinking it. It's just a barrier. You can enter at will."
Xue immediately dismissed their idea. A barrier? What kind of paper crap?
After hearing what Xue said, Yachiyo and Caiyu looked at each other. No matter whether the Alicia in front of them was real or not, at least she had just helped them.
Suddenly, the little Kyubey beside the crowd turned his head away for some reason, and the next second, the entire barrier began to vibrate.
A strangely colored, multi-armed, long monster, also known as the "Waiting Horse Ballad," crawled out of a deep well not far away and without saying a word, fired two shots at the girls on the bridge.
The four of them quickly moved to avoid the monster's artillery fire and landed on another bridge.
"This guy should be the owner of this place..."
While Tsuruno was speaking, the Holy Spear of Annihilation in Xue's hand had already transformed into annihilation mode, and the magic bullet was instantly reloaded.
The enormous magical power gathered at the muzzle of the gun at an extremely terrifying speed.
It was you who created the fake Midori, so please die now.
Aurora burst
The aqua-blue magic focusing cannon exploded instantly, swallowing up the long monster whole on the spot, leaving no trace.
The "rumor" has died, and the barrier has naturally faded away.
"So... so strong..."
Looking at Xue who had just easily killed the monster with one blow, Tsuruno was shocked twice in one day.
Are you all the magical girls from Apocalypse Chasing Fire this powerful?
"Hmm? Stop hiding and come out."
Suddenly, Xue turned her head and looked somewhere to the right.
After a few seconds, a girl with blond hair, golden eyes and Roman curly hair walked out from the darkness.
"Huh? Asami?"
Upon seeing the girl's true appearance, Xue Sheng pretended to be surprised.
The girl named Mami was stunned when she heard Xue calling her name.
Strange, this person looks familiar...
"You are…?"
"I'm Ellie, long time no see~"
"Sister Ellie?!"
The girl was shocked. She didn't expect to meet her cousin here, and she didn't expect that the other party was also a magical girl.
"Xiao Ai, who is this...?"
Seeing that Xuehe and the strange girl who suddenly walked out seemed very familiar, Yachiyo and the other two were somewhat curious.
"This is my distant cousin."
"My name is Tomoe Mami, and I'm the magical girl of Mitakihara. Nice to meet you all."
Headless Senior... no, it should be Tomoe Mami who greeted Yachiyo and the other two.
"Hello, my name is Nanami Yachiyo."
"My name is Yubi Tsuruno, nice to meet you~"
"My name is Tamaki Iroha, please guide me."
Asami nodded in response to the three of them while looking at Yuki who had not yet taken off her magic suit.
"By the way, Sister Ellie, are you also a magical girl?"
"I guess so. By the way, Asami, why did you come all the way from Mitakihara to Kamihama? Is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, Asami nodded.
"Well, I'm here to investigate something."
"Hmm? Tell me about it, maybe I'll know."
Xue did know, and she even knew it very clearly.
"It's rumored that the magical girls of Kamihama have been gathering magical girls from other cities for some reason. Sister Ellie, are you aware of this?"
Hearing what Mami said, Yachiyo couldn't help but frown. Could it be that this rumor had spread so far?
"So that's what it is... I do know some information about it."
Xue didn't hide anything and directly told Mami the rumor that the magical girl could be saved by coming to Kamihama.
After hearing this, Mami showed a thoughtful expression.
Looking at Mami who was thinking at the moment, Xue said nothing.
It seems that Saint Mami will appear no matter what.
