Villainous Second Miss Becomes a God in Supernatural Tokyo 186

Chapter 186: Sisterly Love is Deep

The entrance to the Summer Harvest Mountain Otherside was a giant crimson torii gate, and at the very top, a black Sanctuary Flame burned. In the middle of the torii gate, the space rippled like the surface of a flowing lake, but in reality, it was a spatial refraction.

As Chikari Makoto and Kuchiki Mei were getting a little bored waiting, the lake-like space suddenly reacted, as if the water had become turbulent.

Seeing this, Chikari Makoto said to Kuchiki Mei, “Mei, let’s make a bet. The wager is a Calamity-level material. Which sister do you think will appear this time? I bet it’s Natsuba Rinrei.”

With that, under the golden bird mask, Chikari Makoto’s lips curled slightly. As a daughter who had inherited one or two of Natsuba Hanae’s mischievous traits, she was already prepared. Before entering Summer Harvest Mountain, Makoto had contacted Natsuba Rinrei, and Rinrei had said she was in the next city over, on her way back. With Rinrei’s speed, she would be back at the Natsuba main residence in less than twenty minutes after they had entered. She was definitely the fastest of the remaining sisters. It was a sure bet. To get a Calamity-level material for free would give Makoto a little push on her path to A-rank.

Hearing this, Kuchiki Mei nodded slightly. “Then I’ll bet it’s Sister Hoshikawa Oto.”

Although Kuchiki Mei didn’t often go out to hunt supernatural beings, she would occasionally hunt the ones that appeared around the city. Moreover, as the current head of the Kuchiki branch, most of the branch’s supernatural resources were under her control. A Calamity-level material, although it hurt a little, was actually not a big deal. Besides, her chances of winning were very high.

Kuchiki Mei’s dark eyes stared intently at the entrance of the torii gate.

Chikari Makoto, hearing that the bet was on, her lips, which had just been curled, suddenly broke into a brilliant smile. “Hahahahaha, Mei, I’m definitely going to win this time. As your older sister, I’ll teach you a lesson. A bet without enough information is a sure loss. Thank you for the Calamity-level mater—”

In Chikari Makoto’s laughter, Hoshikawa Oto stumbled a step out of the torii gate and emerged from within.

Chikari Makoto’s mouth, which had been speaking, suddenly stopped. Her gleaming golden eyes widened like copper bells, finding it unbelievable. “How could it be… Hoshikawa Oto?!”

Hoshikawa Oto, after that day, should have returned to her own city and continued her concert tour. In terms of arrival time, she should be on par with Tamamo-no-Mae. She should by no means be faster than Natsuba Rinrei.

Seeing Hoshikawa Oto emerge from the torii gate, Kuchiki Mei’s pink lips, under the gray bird mask, curled upwards slightly. She said softly to the distant Hoshikawa Oto, “Sister Hoshikawa Oto, you’re about five minutes late from the time you reported to me. Did something unexpected happen?”

Yes, Kuchiki Mei had also contacted Hoshikawa Oto. However, she hadn’t thought of this bet at first. It was just that as the head of the family, she usually had too many and too complicated things to manage, so during this period, Kuchiki Mei had developed the habit of being prepared for everything. She had not only asked about Hoshikawa Oto’s whereabouts and arrival time, but she even knew the status of Natsuba Rinrei, Tamamo-no-Mae, and even Kamishiro Hime. All of this was learned through the ability Mei had developed, the Yosuzume’s “Shadow.”

Chikari Makoto, on the other hand, didn’t even know Kamishiro Hime’s whereabouts, let alone that Hime was Natsuba Hanae’s daughter, because Makoto wasn’t present when Natsuba Hanae had subdued her. As for Hoshikawa Oto, due to Mei’s habits, she now had a file on all of Natsuba Hanae’s daughters.

In the process of learning Natsuba Hanae’s wisdom, Mei had also inadvertently picked up a bit of Natsuba Hanae’s style, the so-called second corporate culture… mischievousness. When Chikari Makoto had proposed this bet, it was completely within Mei’s control. She had not hesitated for a moment and had gladly accepted the Calamity-level supernatural material that Chikari Makoto had offered. After all, as the head of the Kuchiki branch, a Calamity-level supernatural material might very well allow another B-rank candidate to emerge in her family.

Kuchiki Mei looked at the stunned Chikari Makoto beside her, and a smile appeared on her face under the gray bird mask. “Thank you for your guidance, Sister Makoto.”

Then, Mei continued to look at Hoshikawa Oto, but saw that Oto didn’t say much and floated towards them, tightly clutching her mother’s wooden statue in her hand.

This made Kuchiki Mei’s brow furrow slightly. Is it time to show off how much Mom loves us?

Thinking of this, from Kuchiki Mei’s shadow, under the light of the crimson vertical pupil, a hand holding a wooden statue stretched out. Kuchiki Mei silently took the wooden statue and slowly placed it on her head. Her mother’s wooden statue reached the peak, looking down on all the sisters.

I have one too.

The figurine show-off session continued, and with the wooden statue hand-carved by her mother, Mei was one of the top contenders.

Chikari Makoto, hearing Kuchiki Mei’s words, immediately realized that Mei had more information than her. In an instant, her hands and feet went cold, and she felt that life was difficult. The world was going downhill, and all her sisters were becoming so cunning. Unlike her, who was so innocent and pure.

However, Chikari Makoto saw the Q-version Master of Summer Harvest Mountain statue, hand-made by her mother, in Kuchiki Mei and Hoshikawa Oto’s hands, and couldn’t help but be envious. After all, now, only Kuchiki Mei and Hoshikawa Oto had this kind of statue. Even she didn’t have one.

Thinking of this, a dangerous idea suddenly popped into Chikari Makoto’s mind. Mom isn’t here now. In that case, can I snatch a wooden statue for myself?

Hoshikawa Oto and Kuchiki Mei’s levels were both at peak B-rank, while she was at the B-rank critical point. Not only that, but she was also an extremely strong B-rank critical point. Even fighting two at once was not a problem at all.

Since thinking isn’t working… then I’ll use force to persuade them.

Chikari Makoto squeezed her fist, and a pale golden aura suddenly rose around her. However, just as she was immersed in this thought, she didn’t know that someone had already taken action.

“Boom——————!!”

A loud bang. At the connection of the torii gate’s space, a reaction was heard again. Countless crimson flames surged out, burning from the outside into the torii gate space of Summer Harvest Mountain. A ferocious, red dragon claw extended in. Then, a pair of violent, calm, crimson dragon pupils scornfully surveyed the surroundings. Even under the mask, her pure fighting spirit could not be hidden.

After these short dozen or so days, Natsuba Rinrei had grown again. If the previous her had used the will of the “Red Dragon” to drive herself and attack her enemies, now, after gradually familiarizing herself with the “Red Dragon” ability, and with the Aosagi no Hi being a synonym for calmness and indifference, she remained calm even during the dragon transformation process. Growing up to now, even without the help of Aosagi no Hi’s power, she could completely control the “Red Dragon.” Natsuba Rinrei, as an individual, would command the Red Dragon! In the pure, wild violence, there was also a hint of clarity. The wild and cruel tearing attack method of a dragon and Natsuba Rinrei’s own combat awareness were completely fused.

Hoshikawa Oto had run away precisely because she had sensed this. From a soul aspect, Oto had observed Natsuba Rinrei’s current state; for her ability, Rinrei was in an absolute state of being one with it. Oto had judged that she would not be Rinrei’s opponent and had directly chosen to run. After all, although Oto was a peak B-rank supernatural user, if she were to face a normal A-rank, she would not be without a fighting chance. Even facing the “Black Dragon” Natsuba Kouryu from before, she could also use her soul power to briefly entangle him. In fact, she could feel the gap between the “Black Dragon” ability and Natsuba Kouryu’s soul, and use her own soul power to interfere, thus finding a flaw and obtaining her own path to victory. If at that time, her mother had not come, against an A-rank Natsuba Kouryu, using this method, Oto would not have been without a chance of winning.

Of course, if she were to face the pseudo-Susanoo, she would also only have the option to run. But facing the current Natsuba Rinrei, Oto did not have the thought of interfering with the gap between Rinrei’s ability and her soul. Because at this moment, Natsuba Rinrei had completely accepted the “Red Dragon” ability. Even with soul power, Oto could not interfere and isolate it.

Now, the mask Natsuba Rinrei had hastily made could not bear the surging crimson flame power. It was slowly cracking, and had already revealed the lower half of Natsuba Rinrei’s face. Her slightly parted mouth billowed sparks and smoke, which spread to both sides of her mouth, and the air was filled with a lava-like smell.

“Hmm?”

Although Kuchiki Mei and Chikari Makoto were wearing masks, because of their long-term understanding, and the two of them not using their abilities to cover up some of their obvious features, Natsuba Rinrei could clearly recognize them. Of course, Rinrei also saw the wooden statue on Kuchiki Mei’s head at a glance. Her face immediately lit up slightly.

“There are two of Mother’s wooden statues? If I get them all, won’t I have double the happiness?”

Yes, Natsuba Rinrei chose to have them all.

She continued to attack Hoshikawa Oto. A large wave of fire formed an encirclement, sealing off all of Hoshikawa Oto’s escape routes. Oto used her old trick, preparing to first escape with her soul, and then have her soul and her main body instantly exchange places to escape the enclosure of the crimson fire wave.

However, just as she was preparing to separate her soul, a blue-green flame appeared in the crimson fire. Hoshikawa Oto’s soul popped a head out from her body, but under the influence of Aosagi no Hi, it was instantly frozen for a moment and then returned to her body.

Yes, Natsuba Rinrei had heard from Chikari Makoto about Hoshikawa Oto’s soul-related ability. And Aosagi no Hi itself could have a certain influence on the soul. Rinrei felt that since Aosagi no Hi could freeze the body, it could definitely freeze the soul as well. With this thought, Natsuba Rinrei had tried, and she hadn’t expected it to succeed.

Hoshikawa Oto felt her ability fail to be released, and before she could be surprised, Natsuba Rinrei’s figure was already in front of her. The two immediately became entangled.

Kuchiki Mei, seeing Natsuba Rinrei’s gaze before and seeing the current situation, her dark eyes turned slightly. Now was not the time for a figurine show-off session, but a figurine-snatching session. With her current strength, the situation was not good. So, she silently threw the wooden statue on her head down.

A shadow vortex appeared on the ground. Kuchiki Mei prepared to put it in her shadow space, so that at least it wouldn’t be snatched so easily, and she would have a chance to maneuver.

However, just as the wooden statue fell into the shadow vortex, a right hand with a pale golden aura flashed and caught it.

Chikari Makoto, full throttle!

Kuchiki Mei’s reaction was also very fast. When she saw Chikari Makoto’s figure appear, a pair of black hands suddenly appeared from the shadow vortex and shot straight at Makoto. But Chikari Makoto’s speed was too fast. She stomped her foot on the ground. Thanks to the fact that Summer Harvest Mountain was constructed from Natsuba Hanae’s power, the ground was not damaged at all. Chikari Makoto quickly retreated, a brilliant smile on her face.

“Hahahahaha, I got Mom’s wooden statue. No, no! It was Mom’s statue that chose me. I’m Mom’s favorite daughter.”

As Chikari Makoto was feeling proud, in the darkness of the night, a leaping flame danced, and a long, thin red cord flew and hovered. In the next moment, Kuchiki Mei and Natsuba Rinrei appeared on either side of Chikari Makoto at the same time. A fist of surging flames and a katana radiating a cold light fiercely attacked her!

Chikari Makoto widened her gleaming golden eyes. “Hey, hey, hey, you’re attacking me. This is a bit against the rules Mom set down.”

The fire fist and the katana paused for a moment. Then, without any hesitation, they continued to attack, and with even more fierce momentum. At this time, the voices of the two girls slowly floated to Chikari Makoto’s ears.

“Makoto, what are you talking about? I just want that wooden statue. I have no intention of targeting you,” Rinrei said, yet the flame-wrapped fist unhurriedly shot straight at Chikari Makoto’s cheek.

“I just want to take back the wooden statue that belongs to me,” Mei added, as her thin, icy, sharp katana slashed at Chikari Makoto’s right hand, which was holding the statue.

“Clang——————!”

“Boom—————————!”

“Ah—————————————!”

The sound of a sword, an explosion, and a scream echoed through Summer Harvest Mountain, spreading far and wide, startling the small black birds in the gray mist, which flew towards the crimson vertical pupil that was like the sun and moon.

The situation, when the four of them became obsessed with the wooden statue, was already completely out of control.

At the foot of the mountain, Natsuba Hanae heard the sound and gently turned her head. Her exquisite side profile was revealed. Her lips slowly curled, and a gentle and affectionate smile appeared. Her red, glass-like eyes became even more brilliant and dazzling in Summer Harvest Mountain, and a cunning, strange light appeared in them.

“It seems my daughters are getting along very well.”
