Kikyo exhaled, slightly turned sideways, and bowed her head, saying, "Please."
Seeing this, Lynn smiled, then put away the jewel of four souls in his hand.
Kikyo pursed her lips, saying nothing.
However...
The jewel of four souls wasn't contaminated?
Just as she fell into contemplation, a clear voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Wait!"
"Wait for me!!"
Higurashi Kagome ran over, panting.
"This is..."
Seeing Higurashi Kagome, Kikyo was slightly stunned.
"Hmm... my prospective miko?"
Lynn thought for a moment and gave his answer.
"Miko..."
Kikyo lowered her head, muttering.
So...
Lord Demon wasn't joking just now?
Converting to a demon, huh...
....
Maple Village.
A simple thatched hut.
Kikyo, Lynn, and Higurashi Kagome sat on the floor.
"Guests, tea."
A little girl hesitantly served a cup of hot tea to Lynn and Higurashi Kagome.
Well...
Calling it tea, it was actually just some flower petals and leaves.
Higurashi Kagome forced a smile.
Even now, she still didn't understand the situation.
So...
What exactly was going on in this place?!
Had she traveled to ancient times?
Kikyo's expression was calm, "My apologies for the poor hospitality."
She stared at the jewel of four souls being casually played with in Lynn's hand, her heart extremely nervous.
Lynn's lips curved into a smile, and he deliberately tossed the jewel of four souls upwards.
Kikyo's breathing suddenly hitched, her chin slightly raised, her eyes fixed on the jewel of four souls.
She was afraid that something unexpected would happen to her.
Seeing her amusing expression, Lynn chuckled softly.
Kikyo was slightly startled, then tried her best to control her gaze, resuming her cold and aloof demeanor.
"Lord Lynn, the jewel of four souls is a very dangerous existence."
Kikyo's small face became serious, and she began to explain the dangers of the jewel of four souls.
Higurashi Kagome sat up straight, her expression also serious, nodding her little head repeatedly.
Seeing this, Lynn directly interrupted Kikyo, "How have you considered my previous proposal?"
Kikyo was stunned for a moment.
"Convert to a 'Psychic Demon'?"
Lynn nodded, smiling, "How about it, do you want to be my Miko?"
"Eh? A M-Miko?"
Kikyo hadn't reacted yet, but Higurashi Kagome exclaimed in surprise.
A M-Miko, isn't that someone who serves a god?
Lynn's meaning was…
To have Kikyo serve him?
Hiss—
Not knowing what scene she had imagined, Higurashi Kagome's face instantly turned red.
Lynn said faintly, "You too."
Higurashi Kagome: "?"
She stiffly turned her neck to look at Lynn, saying incredulously, "Miko, me?"
Lynn nodded, saying with a half-smile, "Don't forget, your reward."
Higurashi Kagome's mouth twitched, "You didn't say the reward was to be your Miko…"
"You can also choose not to pay the reward."
Hearing this, Higurashi Kagome's eyes immediately lit up, but then Lynn's tone suddenly turned sinister, "Only, I can't guarantee what will happen, you know~"
Higurashi Kagome's body stiffened, then she decisively prostrated herself, "I'm sorry, I will definitely become a qualified Miko!"
Having witnessed Lynn's strength, she instantly cowered.
Moreover.
If she became Lynn's Miko, she would also receive protection, right?
Having seen demons, she had always had a vague sense of unease in her heart.
Becoming Lynn's Miko…
It doesn't seem bad either?
At least…
Lynn's powerful strength gave her stability.
On the other side.
Seeing Higurashi Kagome being so sensible, Lynn nodded approvingly, then looked at Kikyo.
Kikyo pursed her lips and lowered her head, saying, "I'm sorry."
Although Lynn had saved Maple Village, asking her to convert to a 'Psychic Demon' was still too difficult.
"Kikyo, you don't want Maple Village to be destroyed, do you?"
Lynn's faint voice entered her ears, tightening her heart.
What did he mean?
Kikyo felt uneasy.
If this powerful man really wanted to destroy Maple Village, she wouldn't be able to stop him at all.
Suddenly, there was a soft click.
The clear sound of the jewel of four souls rang out.
Kikyo saw Lynn casually toss the jewel of four souls onto the table, and her eyes twitched sharply.
"The jewel of four souls, if you don't solve this problem…"
"Maple Village will be doomed sooner or later, right?"
Kikyo heard this, and while somewhat surprised, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's all it is…
Her eyes were firm, "I will leave Maple Village with the jewel of four souls."
"Oh? And then?"
"And then?"
Kikyo was stunned for a moment, not understanding Lynn's meaning.
"If you carry the jewel of four souls, won't it attract demons everywhere?"
Lynn pretended to be in thought and said, "Perhaps, in the future, I can call you a walking Calamity Miko?"
A walking Calamity Miko?
Kikyo's heart tightened.
Did that mean wherever she went, she would bring disaster?
If she carried the jewel of four souls, it seemed like this would indeed happen…
"Moreover…"
Lynn said in a deep voice, "Can you protect it forever?"
"As a human, you also have your limits, right?"
"You also have things you can't do, right?"
Kikyo fell silent.
She thought of today's crisis in Maple Village.
She herself could leave with the jewel of four souls unscathed.
But…
If Lynn hadn't intervened, the villagers of Maple Village…
That being said.
It didn't seem strange for everyone in Maple Village to call Lord Lynn a god.
Moreover…
When she prayed to the gods.
The gods, as always, did not appear.
The one who responded to her was a 'Psychic Demon'…
Perhaps, as the 'Psychic Demon' Lord said.
The gods of Neon have died…
Since that was the case, if she converted to a 'Psychic Demon', the gods wouldn't blame her, would they?
Moreover…
Who said a 'Psychic Demon' couldn't be a god?
"If I become your Miko, can it solve the problem of the jewel of four souls?"
