But after circling around the mountaintop without finding anyone, they had no choice but to return here and continue waiting.
"It's too late to go down the mountain now."
"Just tidy it up a bit."
"There is a temple near the mountainside. Let's stay there for the night."
Izuki Karuta looked up at the sky; it looked like a downpour was imminent.
He immediately picked up Sherry, held Akemi in front of him, and quickly walked down the mountain.
I don't know if it's because the alcohol hasn't worn off yet.
After leaving the lake, Sherry and Akemi couldn't be woken up no matter what they did, so they had no choice but to go down the mountain like this.
As for the camping gear, it's fine to leave it here for now.
Vermouth also left behind unnecessary items, took a backpack with a change of clothes, and quickly followed.
10 minutes later,
With Izuki Karuta walking briskly and quickly,
Finally, just before the torrential rain began, we arrived at the temple entrance.
——Shanni Temple.
A temple that looks ancient and has the traditional architectural style of Japan.
"excuse me."
Is anyone home?
Several people stood at the temple entrance to take shelter from the rain, and Izuki Karita called out loudly.
No one answered for a moment in the temple.
Instead, a series of disordered footsteps sounded outside the temple.
In the pouring rain, an indistinct figure rapidly approached, with only a splash of wine-red catching the eye.
"hateful."
"How could it become like this..."
"I should have brought all the equipment..."
Koizumi Akako, wearing her school uniform soaked by the rain, looked annoyed and muttered to herself as she ran to the temple entrance to take shelter from the rain.
Then, I saw the familiar face of Izuki Karita.
Koizumi Akako immediately jumped back a step and shouted:
"You demon, I knew it was all your doing!"
"They deliberately trapped me on this mountain!"
"Don't think I'm afraid of you, if you've got the guts..."
Then they discovered that there were three other people with Izuki Shigeta.
I wonder if it was because Koizumi Akako's exaggerated voice disturbed her.
Akemi and Sherry both opened their eyes and woke up at this moment.
"Do you know?"
What does "evil spirit" mean?
"Yizhu, did you do something naughty again while we were asleep?"
Sherry sensed Koizumi Akako's hostility towards Itake Karuta.
Coupled with her pretty face and outstanding figure, suspicion immediately arose.
“I didn’t do anything bad to her.”
"She was just being superstitious."
"We just bumped into each other by chance at the lake."
Izuki Karita quickly explained.
He wasn't lying.
They just did some things that affected the formation.
But she didn't do anything bad to Koizumi Akako.
However, Koizumi Akako now wore a necklace around her neck, which faintly radiated the essence of heaven and earth.
At this moment,
Koizumi Akako suddenly leaned closer and took Itake Karuta's hand.
"..."
The suspicion in Shirley's eyes instantly turned into doubt.
It's as if to say: This beautiful woman has taken the initiative to hold my hand, what else is there to explain?
Immediately afterwards, Koizumi Akako's surprised voice was heard: "It's warm..."
"So... you're really human?!"
If it is a demonic manifestation, it has no physical form. Even if it is powerful enough to have a physical form, it will not have body temperature.
"if not?"
"What kind of demon am I?"
"Why didn't I eat you sooner?"
Izuki Karita felt somewhat helpless.
then,
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
Koizumi Akako's face began to heat up, turning as red as a shrimp.
Especially when she recalled the time when she kept chanting incantations and was watched by Izuki Qingtian for a full minute.
She may be a witch, but she's also a young girl who's never been in love!
Koizumi Akako's head was almost burned out.
What almost made Koizumi Akako lose her mind was...
Shirley spoke again, with a hint of jealousy: "The situation is already quite obvious."
"If you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility."
"There's no need to hide it, anyway, we can't control you."
It wasn't just Shirley who thought this way,
Akemi and Vermouth saw Koizumi Akako's shy appearance.
Everyone assumed that the two had gotten together.
"If I really did something wrong, I would definitely admit it."
"But if it's not there, it's not there."
"She has cognitive problems; she's clearly having a relapse."
Izuki Karuta would never admit to something she didn't do.
Koizumi Akako had been acting strangely and saying nonsensical things from the beginning.
That made Izuki Karuta's explanation sound somewhat reasonable.
Akemi and the others couldn't help but wonder if Koizumi Akako was just a chuunibyou (delusional) girl who watched too much anime.
Chapter 136 Demonic Delusions, Abnormal Temples
Just as Koizumi Akako was feeling dizzy and didn't know how to explain,
The light grew dimmer, as if night had fallen early, and all that could be seen was each other's faces.
Another set of footsteps sounded.
A tall figure appeared in the heavy rain.
As they approached, they saw an old man wearing a raincoat, with white hair and beard, a thin figure, and a long, hooked nose that looked quite strange.
"I wonder if you are pilgrims who have come to worship?"
"Still a traveler looking for lodging for the night?"
The old man took off his straw hat, revealing his bald head, and his gaze swept over everyone's faces, making them feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Izuki Karuta took over the conversation, a polite smile on her face:
"The rain was torrential, and the mountain roads were muddy."
