Chapter 695: “Warrior Princess”

By the time the two of them came down from the mountain, it was already noon.

“When do we set off?” Lin Qiye asked.

“The day after tomorrow,” Amagumi Haruhi seemed to have planned this in advance. “We need a day to prepare the necessary items for entering the ruins, such as diving suits and oxygen tanks… Due to the maritime prohibition order, these items are strictly forbidden, and acquiring them through special channels will take quite a bit of time.”

Lin Qiye nodded. He was aware of the existence of the maritime prohibition order; Yuzuriha had mentioned it to him before, but he still felt a bit puzzled:

“Why was the maritime prohibition order issued? What’s on the other side of the sea? Have you been there?”

“No, the ships are too conspicuous. Once they set sail, they will be detected and destroyed, and diving equipment can’t last for too long… Getting to the other side of the sea isn’t that easy.” Amagumi Haruhi thought for a moment and added, “Perhaps Yuzuriha Heizhe has been there. With [Chizuru], he can fly directly across this sea area.”

“Did he say anything?”

“Not really…”

Lin Qiye felt a bit helpless. He made up his mind that when he saw Yuzuriha again, he would borrow [Chizuru] from her to fly over to the other side of the sea and see what was there.

He always felt that there were certain secrets of this country hidden behind this matter.

“So where are we going now?”

“To pick someone up.”

“Is someone else going with us to the ruins?” Lin Qiye was a bit surprised.

“No, he won’t enter the ruins. Without the Wokitsuna blade, his combat power is almost zero,” Amagumi Haruhi said. “But he will help us with some predictions during the time before we enter the ruins.”

“An unreliable prophet?”

“Exactly. His name is Hoshimi Shouta. I called him yesterday, and he should be arriving in Hokkaido soon.”

As they spoke, they walked to the bus station. Amagumi Haruhi glanced at the time displayed on the platform and squinted as she looked around.

“Strange, calculating the time, he should have arrived by now… Where is he?” Amagumi Haruhi said, puzzled.

Lin Qiye scanned the surroundings. “What are his characteristics?”

“Him?” Amagumi Haruhi paused. “Nothing special, just an ordinary high school student. But he has a woman with him, who looks very… um… enchanting, the kind that you would notice at a glance in a crowd.”

Upon hearing this description, Lin Qiye seemed a bit confused but still closed his eyes, extending his mental energy to search the area.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, his expression extremely strange.

“Uh… is the woman you mentioned the one with fox ears and nine fluffy tails, particularly… voluptuous, and her eyes are golden yellow?”

“Yes, did you find them? Where are they?”

“Oh, she’s with an inconspicuous-looking high school student, picking out clothes in the adult store around the street corner.”

“…” Amagumi Haruhi said with certainty, “That’s definitely them.”

…

In the adult store filled with a pink atmosphere, Hoshimi Shouta stood in the corner, his face flushed as he watched the enchanting woman frantically selecting uniforms, swallowing hard.

“Y-youkai, we should go!” He quickly glanced outside, seeming a bit anxious. “If Amagumi finds us here, I… I will…”

The fox girl raised an eyebrow, turned around, and leaned in close to his ear, whispering in a voice full of temptation:

“What will you do?”

The warm breath brushed against Hoshimi Shouta’s ear, making his face turn red to the roots of his hair as he quietly said, “I would… be very embarrassed!”

“What’s so embarrassing about it?” The fox girl picked out a tattered pink top from the basket, her enchanting golden eyes narrowing slightly. “Shouta, what do you think of this outfit? Too bad this size is too small for me to wear…”

She looked down at her chest, letting out a frustrated sigh.

Hoshimi Shouta followed her gaze to a certain spot, as if he thought of something, and couldn’t help but swallow again, turning his head away.

“We really should go!”

“Do you really want to leave?”

“Yes!”

“Then call me ‘Onee-chan’ and let me hear it.”

“…” Hoshimi Shouta’s mouth twitched slightly. “No…”

“Ah~ then let’s not rush to leave. Wait for me to try on this outfit in the fitting room. Do you want to come in with me?”

“I can’t try anymore… and who wants to go in with you?” Hoshimi Shouta’s cheeks were burning.

The fox girl smiled at him, remaining silent, seemingly waiting for something.

Hoshimi Shouta pressed his lips together, quietly glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, and then whispered in a voice as tiny as a mosquito’s:

“Onee-chan…”

“Mm… although your voice is a bit small, I won’t make it hard for you.”

The fox girl’s face instantly blossomed into a smile. She turned around, paid for the basket of uniforms, and walked over to Hoshimi Shouta’s side. “Let’s go, we should head out.”

Hoshimi Shouta finally let out a sigh of relief.

As they reached the entrance of the adult store, they saw two figures standing there, looking at them with a subtle expression, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Hoshimi Shouta froze in place.

Amagumi Haruhi glanced at the store’s sign and then at the bags in the fox girl’s hands, unable to help but speak up: “You two…”

“Amagumi, Amagumi, Amagumi…” Hoshimi Shouta stammered, “When did you arrive?”

“Since the two of you started whispering over there.”

“…”

At that moment, Hoshimi Shouta felt an overwhelming urge to escape this world at light speed.

“Let me introduce you. This is the invader, Lin Qiye,” Amagumi Haruhi turned to Lin Qiye and said, “These two are the blade master and the blade spirit of [Wokitsuna].”

Lin Qiye nodded with a subtle expression.

Meanwhile, the fox girl stood quietly with her bags, her golden vertical pupils fixed on Lin Qiye, seemingly pondering something.

After the introductions were complete, Amagumi Haruhi led them toward the house she had rented in Hokkaido.

Hoshimi Shouta and the fox girl walked in front, while Lin Qiye deliberately slowed his pace to walk beside Amagumi Haruhi, lowering his voice to ask:

“The relationship between the blade master and the blade spirit… seems a bit unusual?”

“Perhaps. I really don’t know much about their situation,” Amagumi Haruhi shook her head.

Lin Qiye glanced at the bags in the fox girl’s hands. “By the way, aren’t blade spirits supposed to be spiritual entities? Why does this Wokitsuna have a physical body?”

“That’s what makes [Wokitsuna] different from other Wokitsuna blades,” Amagumi Haruhi explained. “She can switch between spiritual and physical forms, and her own strength is extremely powerful. She can live independently in this world without relying on others, meaning her combat power is not affected by her blade master.

Even if her blade master is an ordinary high school student, it doesn’t diminish her top-tier status among the Wokitsuna blades.

She is the strongest in single combat among the Wokitsuna blades, known as a human-shaped nuclear weapon…

One of the Wokitsuna blades, [Wokitsuna].”
