Part 3

Yuuya and the others were in the midst of their school idol project.

In the afterlife [the underworld], the boundary with the present world has been successfully restored, and normal daily life has returned.

And today, too, a sinner is brought to Reimei.

Let go of me! Who do you think I am? Im the son of that Kuzunoichi!

The man who was being brought in by the oni was screaming, perhaps not grasping the exact situation in which he was placed.

Seeing him like this, the oni tried to silence the man.

Shut up.

The air was quiet yet heavy with pressure.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

The man who had been screaming just a moment ago shut his mouth and began to tremble under the tremendous pressure that suddenly hit him.

What put the man in such a state was a very young-looking girlReimei, in front of him.

Reimei was looking down at the man, a sinner, with her legs crossed on an honorary seat.

Her appearance was the face of the master of the underworld, which Yuuya and the others had never seen before, and it gave the impression that she was ruthless to no end.

The man looked up at Reimei and tried to escape his gaze, but he was too afraid to move properly due to the fact that he was being held down by the oni.

Then, Reimei pointed her index finger at the man and made a motion as if she was going to pull something out.

At that moment, a purple aura appeared on the mans forehead in the form of threads.

The thread-like aura drifted through the air, and when it reached Reimei, it transformed into a scroll.

The scroll, transformed from an aura, opens on its own and exposes itself to Reimei.

Adultery, murder, theft oh oh oh, you have committed countless crimes

The man smiles, freed from his intimidation by the fact that Reimeis attention has turned to the scroll.

He-hehe thats right! Im not like those other people. Hows that? Isnt that awesome?

The man talked as if committing a crime was a great thing.

The surrounding oni frowned at the man, who showed no signs of remorse.

But nothing changed in Reimeis expression.

Oh, whats the difference?

I am the son of Kuzunoichi. No matter what I do, my father will always cover it up! No matter how much the lowly people cry out, I will never be judged. I am the chosen one!

That was when you were alive, wasnt it?

Reimei said, and the man smiled.

Well, yes! But that doesnt change the fact that I am the chosen one! Now, hurry up and release me and bring me back to life! Shouldnt there be some service that goes with being the chosen one?

Despite his absurdity, the man continued to speak as if it were a matter of course.

Then

Oh, so you are the chosen one, are you?

Ive been saying that for a while now! Get these guys out of my way and get me out of here quickly

At that moment, as if interrupting the mans speech, a purple light shot out from Reimei.

The light went straight ahead and penetrated the mans face.

And a few moments later, the mans body exploded.

But.

Gaaaahhhh! Hah! Hah hah!

The man whose body had just exploded desperately checked his own body.

Certainly, the man had just exploded.

However, the man was in this underworld because he was already dead.

However

I thought it was decided just now.

Hmph Sure, I was surprised, but Im not soft enough to be hit by that strike now, okay?

Shu quickly slipped his katana into his bosom and caught Iriss attack.

Ara, really? Then how about this!

Kuh!

As they had been involved in battles with Yuuya, Iris and the others had also fought many more powerful enemies than ever before.

In addition, Yuuya was sent to a world in the past where he received guidance from the sage Zenovis, making him a force that Iris and the others could no longer match in terms of combat power.

Although Iris and the others managed to keep up with Yuuya due to the difference in experience, there was still a limit to what they could do.

That was why, in order to keep up with Yuuya in the future, Iris needed to gain even more strength.

Haaagh!

Tsk! Im amazed that a mere sword strike has this power!

In the past, Iris relied heavily on skill in many of her battles.

Even Usagi, who had trained his groundwork, used a lot of skill in battle.

However, after witnessing Yuuyas stronger fighting, Iris realized that this alone was not enough, and she fully demonstrated her talent and had already reached the point where she could unleash many skills as a single casual blow.

In addition, Iris had begun training in other areas of magic that she had not developed before.

Instead of focusing on her newly acquired power, she focused on developing the power that already existed.

As a result, she was naturally able to strengthen her body with magic power, just as she had just blown Shu away.

Now, if you have some hidden power, youd better get it out quickly, or itll be over!

Iris was able to catch up to Shu without missing a beat, but Shu was not to be outdone.

The physical capabilities of Iris, strengthened by magic power, were superior to Shus, but Shu covered them with his skills.

Shu was able to survive the fierce sword fight with only one katana.

Gloria and the others were amazed to see the two of them.

Amazing when did Iris become so strong?

(Weve been through a lot. More importantly)

Usagis eyes narrowed as he saw Shu defending against Iriss attack.

It was a faint sense of discomfort that spread through Usagi.

Indeed, Shu looked like he was doing his best to prevent Iriss attack.

But

(Its strange Its as if hes investigating something rather than just enduring it)

Iris herself, who was fighting, felt that Usagi was right.

(This guy He precisely defends against all of my attacks. Of course, Im not giving it my all either, but its creepy that he seems to be able to see through my attacks)

For a while, Iriss one-sided attack continued, but eventually, Shu, who had taken his distance, unexpectedly raised his hand.

I surrender.

Eh?

It was too sudden.

Not expecting Shu to surrender here, Iris was puzzled.

Shu continued with a calm face.

You can see that, cant you? I cant beat Iris. Im sorry, but thats it.

..

After announcing this, Shu silently walked off the stage.

(After all, I couldnt find out the reason why he opened this [Heavenly Sacred Festival], and most importantly, I couldnt figure out the power that Shu is hiding).

Iris did not pursue Shu any further, but the result of the match left somewhat of a lingering impression.
