Perhaps only Himura Kago can truly be unbiased. Although this girl is very wary of Kikyo and inevitably has so thoughts driven by strange prejudice and rejection, at the most critical monts, she is often the one least influenced by the questioning whispers of her inner distractions.
That’s basically how it is.
Regarding that issue, the answer seems... quite cruel.
"Ha, such big talk... Don’t think we don’t know; we clearly heard her say how badly you treated her."
However, these girls didn’t know about these things, and they didn’t buy it at all, firmly using what their forr friend had complained about as an important reference, concluding that this man was nothing but a hateful scumbag full of flaws, aside from having a good appearance!
"Isn’t it possible that you guys have mistaken the person..."
Gu Mo showed a helpless expression, wanting to correct these girls.
It is said that birds of a feather flock together; could it be that female high school students who get along well with Himura Kago are also carefree in so ways? Even though their temperants are completely different, doesn’t the presence of the witch in the room seem like it quiets the air itself, contrary to the effect of Himura Kago’s silence in their view?
But at that mont, one girl with sharp eyes looked out the window and let out a low exclamation: "Oh no, it’s Hojo!"
The other two also looked out nervously, noticing on the street outside, a tall and handso boy holding sothing, hurrying by with a worried look on his face.
He looks like the popular type in school, the kind of heartthrob that many girls would adore during the sumr in their white shirts on the sports field.
"Keep your voice down so he won’t find you here..."
"Hojo is so pitiful, obviously he likes Kago a lot..."
"Yeah, he asks us to bring you health products for Kago every day. Even when your rheumatism flared up last ti and you couldn’t co to school, he was very concerned about you."
The three girls started whispering, seemingly discussing a boy pursuing Himura Kago, whom they wished well for... It’s just unfortunate that Kago already has a boyfriend, one with gaps in comparability!
Unable to resist, they glanced at Gu Mo once more, only able to silently mourn for Hojo, thinking it seed indeed hopeless for him.
"The thing in his hands looks a bit strange..."
Just then, Kikyo lightly furrowed her brows, focusing on the item in the boy’s embrace, seemingly sensing sothing unusual about it.
Being reminded, Gu Mo also looked outside and saw the boy holding a quaint-looking box. Although its contents were unclear, it exuded a distinctly peculiar aura, which stunned him montarily. He suddenly rembered that this Hojo clan is known for dabbling in curious things.
It’s not about his ancestor falling for Himura Kago five hundred years ago but rather that this Hojo clan likes collecting odd items like a demon blade comparable to the Iron Shattering Fang. Could this also be one of those items?
At this point, the group of girls began discussing again:
"Hojo looks a bit anxious, should we help him?"
"Let’s go and see what’s going on... Kago, we won’t disturb you guys, but next ti, don’t pretend not to know us, or we’ll really be upset."
They still hadn’t caught on or maybe assud things to be so, disbelieving Kikyo’s earlier words. However, they didn’t continue to entangle themselves, seeing as people were clearly on a date, it wasn’t right to awkwardly intervene, just checking up and quick greeting Kago’s health sufficed.
"Quite lively, aren’t they..." Watching the three girls dash out of the café to catch up with the boy’s figure, Gu Mo comnted offhandedly.
The witch across kept calm and said nothing, though her expression at least wasn’t as pensive as before.
In a sense, these carefree girls seed to have eased the earlier atmosphere significantly.
Gu Mo withdrew his gaze; insubstantial spiritual touch threads extended straight ahead, traversing the display window and street, reaching the people at the corner opposite, silently eavesdropping on their conversation. Kuiyo gave him a puzzled glance.
But did not intervene, the item that boy had didn’t seem ordinary, even she sensed an unusual trace of terrifying demon qi involved...
—Finding out could be beneficial.
......
"...I was planning to go to Mount Fuji. According to the family doctrine left five hundred years ago, this thing must be thrown into the volcanic crater to be destroyed, but it’s impossible to do that in these tis of course. So I’m troubled about what to do now..."
The boy’s voice clearly transmitted into Gu Mo’s mind, seeming quite distressed.
"Why destroy it... The feather robe looks so beautiful."
The girl nad Youka asked.
"Didn’t there occur several consecutive full moons a few days ago? It’s really abnormal, though experts explained the phenona caused by whatever reasons, I don’t quite get it. However, our family has had warnings for generation after generation; if continuous full moons appear, this item must be taken to Mount Fuji’s crater and destroyed..."
"Huh? Is this so kind of fantasy story?! Sounds a bit frightening!"
"I’ve also heard the explanation of the recent full moons, but still feels strange overall."
......
Gu Mo listened to the information transmitted back by the spiritual touch threads, pieces of conversation allowing him to vaguely understand the situation.
Feather robe...
A chain of consecutive full moon anomalies that appeared a few days ago...
Piecing these keywords, he approximately understood the situation, his lips curling slightly looking at the witch opposite: "Kikyo, it seems a bit troubleso..."
Could it be due to his ddling, the butterfly effect twisted the narrative of the Warring States Era utterly? As a result, Kaguya was neither broken free in the Warring States Era nor properly dealt with, but instead has only erged in this era breaking the seal?
The horrifying great demon, able to use techniques to stop ti across the world...
This already should’ve happened during the Warring States Era; is it about to unfold in the modern world instead?
