29 Chapter 27 Sesshou-Seki Part 2 (2/2)

”Why did you call me here?”

”Looks like I need to explain, Yes?” The girl couldn't help but laugh at how straight forward Yui was as she was approached.

The girl jumped off of the stone and landed on her feet without ease with a split-image copy of Yui's own kimono flowing down effortlessly even though she was already in a weakened state as it is.

Their appearances were indeed the same but there was a slight difference-- Her eyes were a darker shade of blue compared to Yui's eyes.

They look like mother and child...

Was what came up on Miku's mind seeing them stood right in front of one another.

The girl stared at Yui straight in the eye, signaling how serious her situation was ever since she ended up far from the location where Yui had suddenly appeared that one night.

”I assume thou has no idea when it comes to why thou has appeared, yes?”

The same speaking manner had been heard from the mouth of the girl- the almost same speech that Yui had used when she first appeared-- a few months prior of this day.

”Yes, That's right-- Wait, How did you onow that?”

The girl gave a quick nod before continuing: ”There was a reason for both of us to appear, it was not just a mysterious phenomenon-- It was because of the goddess Amaterasu that thou was summoned besides me.”

Amaterasu? The goddess of the sun...? Why would she suddenly make me appear into this world...? For what purpose?

The duo were now feeling quite surprised at this revelation that was said by the girl. With her eyes now glowing like they were lights on a car, the girl continued once again: ”It was for the elemination of all thy evil beings from this world.”

With her explanation now over, the girl merely fell to her knees from how weak her body had become...

”Alas, We must be merged together in order to achieve this most-of-importance feat.”

”W-What...? Amaterasu? I thought I was just a mere fox spirit that just appeared for no reason... And that's what I was pretty much doing this whole time...”

The look of dumb-foundness had now been apparent on Yui's face as the girl's explanation had sunk in.

At this point the girl had now fully explained the whole reason for Yui's existance and why she appeared without any knowledge of why she had appeared, the girls slowly stopped glowing and returned back to normal as she finished her explanation with a smile on her face.

”As thou might not be aware... I am merely a vessel for the other fifty percent of Tamamo-no-Mae's mana- a mere mana tank and nothing more besides having the information about why thou has appeared into this world. And as thou speak with me, the said mana is already being drained from me by thy barrier around this area.”

Just what is going here...? Why is this ”barrier” leeching the mana that's currently inside the of the body of this girl? There must be a reason why this barrier had been draining away the mana inside of her body, this was now something the duo had to figure out on their own...

”If I were to merge with you will you still be able to communicate like you did before?”

”That is unknown...” The girl replied with a robotic tone, sounding like the voice command of a smart device.

”I see... I guess we'll just have to see, what needs to be done to make us merge together?”

Curiousity-- Curiousity and interest had overcome the silver-haired fox as the girl replied to her inquiry.
