Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

"Um, Lady Nayuki?"

As if realizing that Xue and Shenshu's conversation had ended, Fujimori Shuidu spoke cautiously.

"Hmm? What's wrong, my miko lady?"

“You just…”

Looking at Fujimori Mizuto's hesitant look, Xue suddenly remembered that the people in this world could not look directly at the sacred tree, or rather, their perception in this regard was blocked by the sacred tree.

To them, they were just talking to the air, like a lunatic.

"I was just talking to the sacred tree."

"Eh? Master Naixue, were you actually talking to Master Shenshu just now?"

The two girls were a little surprised to hear Xue's words.

"Well, He has entrusted you to me. From now on, you two are my dependents."

After saying that, two balls of light, one black and one white, appeared in Xue's hands and floated in front of the two girls respectively.

"Take my power."

The two girls looked at each other and nodded.

The light dissipated, and two different weapons, or rather, divine keys, appeared in their hands.

The jet-black spear, the Abyss, represents withering, and the pure-white Kagura bell, the First Blossom, represents creation.

"Good, so beautiful..."

The two girls looked at the Key of God in their hands and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

"The divine key of decay and creation is now entrusted to you."

"Yes, Master Nai Xue, thank you again for your gift."

"You're welcome. After all, you are now the heroes and shrine maidens under my charge, so I naturally cannot be stingy. Well, let's go. It's time to return to the real world."

……

After that, Xue brought the two girls back to the real world and went straight to the members of the big society who were on night duty.

"Lady Nayuki!" The members of the big society were startled when they saw Xue suddenly appear from behind them with two girls.

"It's me, sorry, I must have been scared."

"No, please forgive my rudeness just now." As if they had finally reacted, the members of the big society hurriedly begged Xue for forgiveness.

In response, Xue waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so nervous.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous. I have something important that I need you to inform the higher-ups of the big club."

"Please tell me."

"Let me introduce you to the brave hero Shiratori Utahara and the miko Fujimori Mizuto."

"They are from Suwa..." After hearing the names of the two girls, the members of the shrine immediately realized something.

"Indeed, the brave man and the miko of Suwa are the last survivors there. They were the followers of the war god in his lifetime, and now they are my followers."

"...I understand. I will arrange accommodation for them and notify the higher-ups."

There was no need for Xue to explain, as the members of the society understood what she meant.

"It's troublesome."

"The duty lies."

"Then you two, have a good rest tonight."

After taking a look at the members of the big society who were treating her with great respect, Xue turned around and spoke to the two girls.

"Yes, Master Nai Xue."

"Okay, Master Nai Xue."

……

After saying goodbye to the two, Xue returned to her room and fell into a sweet dream.

Soon, it was the next morning. Xue got up early and went to the cafeteria to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Then he found that his hero and shrine maiden had already arrived in the cafeteria.

As if they sensed someone was watching them, Ge Ye and Shui raised their heads, and when they found that it was their new god, they quickly greeted him.

"Greetings, Lady Naixue."

"Good morning, Lady Nayuki."

"Good morning, how did you two rest last night?"

"Report to Master Naixue, we had a good rest last night."

"That's good. By the way, you don't have to be so respectful to me in private. It makes you feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Xue's words, the two girls nodded and quickly changed their words.

"Okay, Nayuki...senpai."

"I understand, Sister Nai Xue~"

"That's right. Since you are my relatives now, we are a family. There is no need to be so formal with family."

When the two girls heard Xue mention the family, they were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled at the same time. It seemed that their god was more like a human than a god.

"You guys eat first, I'll go order~"

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to her own hero and shrine maiden, Xue came to the cafeteria's ordering counter.

After seeing that the visitor was Xue, who was personally acknowledged by the Lord of the Divine Tree in the oracle as being of the same level as him, the service staff hurried over to greet him.

"Master Naxue, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Um... I'd like a regular bowl of soba, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After ordering, Xue sat on a chair nearby and waited quietly for her meal.

Then I saw Yuna and his group walking in from the door.

As if he felt someone was watching him, Qian Jing put down the game console in his hand, and after realizing it was Xue, he hurried over.

"Good morning, sister~"

"Good morning, Qian Jing. Did you have a good rest last night?"

"Yeah, it's fine. How about you, sister?"

"To be honest, I didn't sleep much last night." Although he wanted to say that he slept well, it would be difficult to explain to his own shrine maiden and hero.

"Eh?" Qian Jing frowned slightly when he heard that his sister didn't sleep much last night.

"Master Naixue, is the room not to your liking?"

Hinata spoke after hearing the conversation between Yuki and Chikage.

"No, no, the room is very nice, but I helped the sacred tree with some chores last night, so I could only take a short nap when I got back."

"I see..." Hinata breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Xue said. Fortunately, Lady Nayuki was not dissatisfied with the arrangement of the big shrine.

"Senior Naixue..."

As luck would have it, Ge Ye and Shui, who had just finished breakfast, walked over at this time. For a moment, both of them were stunned at the same time.

"Senior Naixue, who are they?" Looking at the two girls who came to Xue's side, Ruoye felt inexplicably familiar.

"Ruoye, you should be very familiar with them, right?"

"Eh?" Ruoye was a little confused for a moment when she heard Xue's words. She didn't know them.

"Hey, are you Nogi-san?"

When he heard Ruoye's name, Ge Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little excited.

And Kano's voice and address made Ruoye suddenly realize something.

"Could it be that you are Shiratori-san?"

"Well, Nogi-san, I finally meet you~"

"Well, but, Shiratori-san, how could you..."

"That's what I did last night."

Xue interrupted the conversation between the two at the right time and explained.

"Ms. Nayuki, did you actually go to Suwa last night? What's the situation there now?"

“…” Seeing Xue’s silence, everyone, especially Hinata and Wakaba, had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"...Uta no Uta and Mizu are the last survivors there..."

"..." For a moment, the people from the four countries were silent. Although they had been mentally prepared, they still found it difficult to accept the fact after hearing it with their own ears.

Seeing this, Xue didn't say anything. After all, this was the fact.

"It's fine."

In the heavy atmosphere at this moment, Ge Ye opened his mouth and broke the silence.

"Shiratori-san/Kanon?"

"Although everyone in Suwa is gone, at least... me and Ami are still here, right?"

"Huh?" Everyone, especially Shui, was stunned when they heard Ge Ye's words.

"We are the last survivors of Suwa. If even we are drowned in this sorrow, how can we carry on carrying everyone's wishes and will?"

"Gonong... Yeah!" Shuidu seemed to have finally reacted to what Gono said and nodded heavily.

"...I understand. Then Shiratori-san and Fujimori-san, welcome to Shikoku."

Looking at Uta no Uta and Mizuto who were not at all confused in front of them, the Shikoku group led by Wakaba smiled and welcomed their arrival.

"Well, nice to meet you!"

"Please take care of me in the future~"

In this way, the two sides got to know each other normally.
