Chapter 632: 208. It’s not impossible! _5
※※※※※
The clouds were roiling at high altitude.
Being carried on his shoulder, Yuzao Mae was pounding on Fujiwara Reya’s back, her voice filled with indignation: "Put me down, I want to go back and fight the descendants of Abe..."
Fujiwara Reya held her tightly, preventing her from moving around, and said coldly: "Fool, no wonder you were trapped for over a thousand years... Do you even realize that the Tsuchimikado Family Head is one of the strongest people in the world right now!"
"Bastard, you can’t treat me like this!" Yuzao Mae looked even more aggrieved at being carried in such a manner, "If you’re scared of losing, just let me go back by myself!"
"Don’t even think about running away!" Fujiwara Reya gave her a firm pat on the butt, impatiently saying: "Kuri is with you, there’s no way I’d let you go to your death. Can you just stay put and wait until your power returns before making a move?"
"..."
Yuzao Mae’s lips moved a bit before she reluctantly agreed.
The grand queen suffered such humiliation today that her expression even held a trace of resentment... Fujiwara Reya couldn’t help but soften, putting her down from his shoulder and holding her in front of him.
"Hmph!"
Yuzao Mae’s nose twitched several times.
The short, cold breaths seemed to repress anger as she unwillingly stayed in his embrace.
"Hold on tight, I’m speeding up." Fujiwara Reya said in a low voice.
Before Yuzao Mae could respond, the sound of fierce wind howled in her ears.
Flowing clouds, sky, and flying birds swiftly passed through her view, instantly left behind... She directed her gaze toward the ground, where the autumn mountains and forests were a striking gold, with mesmerizing colors.
She took a few deep breaths.
The fresh, free air poured into her lungs, slightly relieving her inner turmoil. She shifted her sight, observing the novel fields, grasslands, telephone poles, and glistening railway tracks below; towns strung together, spreading across every corner of the islands.
Listening intently, she could even hear the sounds of vehicles on roads, people chatting, and the noises from glowing boxes... The bright sunlight unconditionally cleansing every corner of the world, yet to her, it felt unfamiliar and distant.
Fujiwara Reya noticed her silence and looked down to ask: "Got something on your mind?"
Yuzao Mae pursed her lips without speaking, her eyes moving slightly with some displeasure, thinking that after being locked up for a thousand years and getting bullied by him on release, doesn’t he know if I have something on my mind or not?
"I’ll help you get acquainted with this new world." Fujiwara Reya gently patted her back.
The roaring wind continued to whistle by their ears as they remained in the sky.
The vast sea of clouds greeted their eyes, pure white.
Yuzao Mae took a deep breath and cursed: "Seeing you makes me sick."
Fujiwara Reya gave a hard slap: "Behave."
"You, you..." Yuzao Mae took a few rapid breaths, turning her head away, "We’ll see what happens in the future..."
Fujiwara Reya muttered: "Petty."
Yuzao Mae was so angry she could faint, turning to stare straight into his eyes: "Put me down!"
"No way!"
"Stop taking advantage of me!"
"I still need to take you back to Tokyo to deal with what you’ve caused, don’t think about avoiding it."
"I won’t!"
"Smack!"
"... Ahhhh, bastard!"
Yuzao Mae shook her head, her hair flaring up in tendrils.
The bright red strands slapped against Fujiwara Reya’s cheek, the once distant and aloof queen’s demeanor now unable to maintain its cool elegance, her natural charm growing more intense in her expression.
Beautiful, so very beautiful, yet a thought suddenly crossed Fujiwara Reya’s mind.
Could Yuzao Mae become a second Mrs. Miki?
Mrs. Miki with her sharp tongue but soft heart is the cutest, and if this vixen could turn into Yuzao baby, it would be wonderful... ahem, such sweet fantasies are best left as dreams. Not to mention what would he say to the other wives back home about having yet another sister?
"Hey, Lord Yuzao... Shall we discuss something?"
Fujiwara Reya suddenly put on a flattering smile.
Yuzao Mae, her face full of grief and indignation, looked at him in surprise: "What scheme are you plotting against me now?"
Fujiwara Reya gazed at her face, his hand gently caressing her still flushed, smooth skin: "After we return to Tokyo, could you let Kuri use your body for a while?"
Yuzao Mae pondered for a while but still didn’t understand what he was up to.
Just then, a voice spoke to her mind: "If I don’t come out, you won’t need to do anything, just wait and watch him get tormented by those wives."
The voice belonged to Natsuki Kuri.
As the two spirits merged, Yuzao Mae also gained her memories.
Having thought it over, she understood what would happen... the queen suddenly felt a bit more at ease, looking at Fujiwara Reya with gloating eyes: "I’ll add some fuel to the fire for you."
"Believe it or not, I’ll burn you first!" Fujiwara Reya threatened.
Yuzao Mae chuckled coldly, staring at him, her red lips parting slightly: "Go ahead, my body is at your disposal."
Her deliberately sultry voice trailing into his ear made Fujiwara Reya feel his bones turning to jelly... this vixen was truly terrifying, and when she calmed down to unleash her allure, Fujiwara Reya doubted he could resist her temptation.
Alas...
Let’s see if sleeping... persuading them is possible.

Noon, twelve o’clock, Tokyo.
This time of day should have seen the sun high in the sky, the world bathed in light.
But now Tokyo’s sky was completely shrouded in thick clouds, the entire sky impenetrably dense.
This was an extreme concentration of yokai energy.
Nearly half of the country’s yokai had gathered here, blocking out the sun.
Under such terrifying phenomena, ordinary people all hid indoors, too scared to step outside. Those who could still take action, aside from certain national agencies, were only the Shinto Priestesses and Monks from the various Great Shrine Temples.
