Index's eyes lit up as she looked at the character for 'chicken'.
Chicken cutlet burgers were one of her favorite foods.
Or rather, she loved any dish made with chicken.
Then, Index rattled off more than a dozen chicken dishes in one breath, and as she spoke, tears of unfilial emotion almost flowed from the corners of her mouth.
Lumine: "Speaking of which, isn't this the first member our Chat Group has added with such a bizarre name?"
Lumine: "Before, the most intimidating name was Dragon, but even that wasn't as bizarre as this. At least he had a different kind of domineering presence?"
Chicken-Slaying Sword Immortal?
Lumine looked at the title with a strange expression. She was one of the few who could grasp the deeper meaning of this title.
Could it be... that some unfortunate person's 'chicken' was cut by a Sword Immortal?
And this ruthless Chicken-Slaying Sword Immortal just happened to be invited to the Chat Group at that time?
Konan: "Has the Admin recognized who this person is?"
Even Konan, who had always been quietly lurking, couldn't help but be drawn out.
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "For such a bizarre name, the only one that could compare would be 'Moonlit Bird Watching', but Zhang Chulan doesn't practice swordsmanship, does he?"
Chicken-Slaying Sword Saint?
A bizarre title like that must come from some comedy, but Lumine racked her brain and still couldn't recall it.
Temporarily shifting her attention from the Chat Group, Lumine, who was deep in thought, now noticed the flaws in the movements of the Shrine Maiden in front of her. Shouldn't she criticize them?
"Yukino-chan! Your expression needs to be natural!"
"Natural doesn't mean smiling. If your Kagura Dance is so stiff, how can you be a good Shrine Maiden?"
Lumine walked over, scolding her verbally, but a smile played on her face as she personally began to guide her.
"Lady Qianqiu, Yukino just joined Qianqiu Shrine. Let's take it slow."
Just as Lumine was busy with her hands, causing Yukinoshita Yukino, an ice-cold beauty, to blush slightly, Yotsuya Miko, who was beside them, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then somewhat gleefully offered advice.
She had joined Qianqiu Shrine earlier and was one of the first to receive training and guidance from Shrine Master Qianqiu. Now, seeing someone to share the burden... Hehehe~
"My Shrine is so big, but there are only a few Shrine Maidens. We need to keep working hard!"
After diligently training Yukino-chan, Lumine returned to her Shrine Master's seat, admiring the Kagura Dance performed for her by the Shrine Maiden, but her mind was once again calculating.
"Miko."
"Yes, Lady Qianqiu!"
Lumine's sudden words startled Yotsuya Miko.
Although Lady Qianqiu was now kind and approachable, and especially fond of teasing beautiful girls.
Yotsuya Miko still hadn't forgotten that the mighty Fox God had been crushed by Lady Qianqiu with overwhelming force and then captured and refined!
"How is your good friend, Hikawa Hiyori, considering it?"
Lumine smiled, but her words made Yotsuya Miko's forehead sweat: "If she doesn't come over to perform the Kagura Dance for me soon, if a fierce spirit uses her as a grill for evil spirits next time, I'll have to seriously consider it."
This was true. Hikawa Hiyori had a special constitution and an unusually vigorous life force, even able to replenish this special life force by eating.
Although bound by rules, those evil and fierce spirits didn't devour her whole, she tragically became a grill for evil spirits.
From time to time, powerful fierce spirits would catch some minor evil spirits to pass over her fire.
Although Lumine had a good impression of Hikawa Hiyori, who had excellent figure, looks, and personality.
What was Lumine's status?
Even the super chaebols had to respectfully offer lavish gifts to invite her to act.
Even national departments from various countries would come to pay their respects during festivals.
If Hikawa Hiyori wasn't even willing to be her Shrine Maiden and perform a few Kagura Dances, then why should she help her?
"Lady Qianqiu, don't worry, Hiyori-chan has completed the school's leave procedures and will be here soon!"
Recalling her clumsy best friend, whose unfortunate constitution rivaled her own, Yotsuya Miko resolved that she must get her to the mountain first.
"Lady Qianqiu, do you think my sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, can come to our Shrine to be a Shrine Maiden?"
After Yukinoshita Yukino finished her dance, she heard the conversation between the Shrine Master and her senior, and despite being out of breath, she asked with some anticipation.
Although Qianqiu Shrine had only recently been established, its reputation was renowned throughout the world.
Didn't the Fushimi Inari Shrine, Meiji Jingu, and Nikko Toshogu Shrine in Japan all respectfully come to pay their respects?
Furthermore, a few days ago, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been possessed by a Nekomata and almost devoured by a demon spirit, after understanding the global situation, her admiration for the Shrine Master was simply boundless.
Shrine Master Qianqiu was the stabilizing force of this world!
To be able to come here as a Shrine Maiden was truly a blessing cultivated over three lifetimes.
"Yukinoshita Haruno, huh..."
Lumine pondered slightly, somewhat hesitant.
To be honest, Yukinoshita Haruno did have some aptitude, but compared to Yukino, Miko, and Hikawa Hiyori, she was far behind.
Moreover, the current three Shrine Maiden trainees of Qianqiu Shrine, though not comparable to Kikyo, which of them wasn't kind, pure, and had top-tier spiritual cultivation aptitude?
If Yukinoshita Haruno were to join just like that, wouldn't it lower the standard of her Shrine Maiden group?
"Your sister's aptitude is still a bit lacking."
Ultimately, Lumine still shook her head. However, seeing Yukino-chan's eyes dim, she eventually gave her a doting pat on the head and added: "If I let her join now, when you all begin your cultivation, she might be so disheartened that her Dao heart shatters, and that's not a good thing."
"You wait until I gather the first batch of nine Shrine Maidens, then your sister can come to cultivate."
A major power can't always have core disciples with exceptional aptitudes, can it?
For someone like Yukinoshita Haruno, whose aptitude wasn't as good, if she worked hard, becoming a backbone force was also a possibility.
"Thank you, Lady Qianqiu!"
Finally receiving an affirmative reply, followed by the head pat, Yukinoshita Yukino revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Hiss! Yukino-chan's smile, it's amazing!"
Lumine looked at Yukino-chan's smile, like a shattered iceberg, as if touched by a spring breeze, and gasped. Then she fiercely stroked the little cat again.
"Lady Qianqiu!"
The young girl was thin-skinned and seemed a bit shy from the teasing. Lumine seized the opportunity to change the subject: "How is Shiina Mahiru, whom I asked you to investigate, doing now?"
Regarding Shiina Mahiru, known as the 'Girl Next Door Angel,' Lumine certainly wouldn't just watch her be snatched away by the blond guy next door.
How could such an angelic girl not follow her to save the world?
