Volued to finish our lunch at the top of the Spirit Tree, and Mikoto was still to rejoin us

I learned that Senjiro ether

Mikoto had traces of tears on her face, but since she see to do with Senjiro

The huge rock bird that Senjiro brought back with theot all fired up to prepare a nice dinner out if it

It was also worth noting that Mikoto exhibited a great appetite during that ed to wolf down almost a third of the whole bird

And since it was the last day of our stay here, after cleaning up we all hit the hot spring for a night bath! Mikoto was there, and Marca, and even Aru, and we all had a great tiurila in as well, but before long she escaped the bath right into the lake, returning to her jellyfish-like appearance, scaring Marca, Elvie and Iori in the process

No, I get how you feel, Ligurila, I totally get it, but that was going totally overboard……

In the end, everyone had loads of fun, but soon enough the clutches of sleep began to take a hold of us, as the tiredness froan to settle in

Marca looked especially tired, to the point that she alking half asleep, and in the end she was taken by Vaas-senpai back into her room

When the children finally went to sleep, it was ti so rooed visibly

「Can we talk for a bit?」

「Sure thing, but are you alright, Mikoto? Will you be able to wake up early for school tomorrow?」

Our house was connected to this place, so we could instantly teleport there the next day! The kids agreed to that idea and even brought their uniforms with them so that they could enjoy themselves as much as possible

But it would be better for Mikoto if she went to bed early, so that she would be fully rested by to

However, Mikoto only shook her head, letting … important」

「Well then, let me make some tea first」

Nectar stands up, and after a while he comes back with a cup of warm tea that he places in front of Mikoto

Then Senjiro opened hisin one of the chairs in the rooht be so about earlier」

Those words were like a boht in the middle of the rooht that our only real option would be to either to try to track down Lute or wait for his group to e for the situation to develop on its oas so we absolutely couldn't allow ourselves to do

That would carry the danger of a siain, and since we had no idea ere up against, we couldn't be sure that ould be able to stop such a catastrophe once again The resulting dareat

It was at the saeous that soreat i from the side, finally joined in on the conversation

「Senjiro Do you even realize what you just said? Why hide the fact that you knew so about it?」

「Because up until noasn't sure」

Responded Senjiro while looking Kyle straight in the eyes

「Back in my homeland, we have monsters which are called 'Youma' It is the duty of both Guardians and Shrine Maidens such as Mikoto andthat they are the same as youmas」

「So that is the reason why you took down the Marionette Tree before? You thought it was that You alone on the sofa this whole ti so his hands inside his sleeves

「At that time I was extremely prejudiced towards you them down, so that I could kill asthat's of i at everyone present

「Back insi……」

For a moment out there the room felt completely silent

No one knehat to say to that sudden revelation

「Wait just a minute White, demon? Then that would , there were some white demons that tried to attack us

As for that moment, we shared our meht up to speed

No, this was still too much to take in at a time, so we still remained silent, while Senjiro continued to speak

「It's been quite a while since I last encountered a white youma, so I wasn't sure if my memories were correct, but then I consulted with Mikoto」

Mikoto's ears

「I've never seen one, though」

She took a sip of tea and continued

「The Shrine Maiden's duty is to travel all over the country and learn all that there is to learn aboutyoumas This white youma is believed to be called 'Innocent Chaos' But since it is kind of mouthful we do abbreviate that to just 'White Youet rid of the a rief andup on the small details here was beside the point

But the white part was spot on, yeah

While I tried to convince ain

「White you of a rare occurrence They come approximately once every ten years And once they do appear, both the Guardians and Shrine Maidens are mobilized to obliterate them」

「…… Would now be one of those ten years?」
