Just before Nurarihyon’s fist touched Himiko, Uka blocked it using both of her hands.
「Don’t get in the way!」
Nurarihyon’s body slowly floated up as she tried to twist his fist when he intensified his magic power.
On the other hand, she’s not using magic power.
She lifted that gigantic power with just physical strength alone.
Uka slammed Nurarihyon into the “ceiling” of the divine domain.
「Guboa!」
Nurarihyon was slammed to the ground this time.
Then, she continued doing that, up ,down, up, down.

The wind pressure from slamming the giant up and down is enough to make it necessary for me to protect Futaba and the others with a barrier as they were about to be blown away.
「This Nurarihyon is……」
The tattered Nurarihyon had already shrunk to a size that could hardly be called a giant.
Uka put her hand on Nurarihyon’s chest and swung it up to his head.
Nurarihyon’s body, which had disappeared from chest to head, is regenerating little by little like a zombie while struggling to attack Uka.
Ura tore Nurarihyon to pieces with a blank look on her face.
The mass of flesh, having lost its power to regenerate, turned to sand and vanished into the void.
「You did well.」
「Yeah……」
Uka’s face lit up for a moment when Himiko praised her and then returned to her position which is behind Himiko.
「Everyone, you worked hard.」
「「「Uoooooo!」」」
The variants in Himiko’s camp shouted triumphantly.
In the end, just like us, there’s no damage to Himiko’s camp.
On the other hand, Nurarihyon’s camp was annihilated.
「I see. I was used.」
I amplified my voice with wind magic and spoke to Himiko from 300 meters away.
「But you had a wonderful battle, right?」
Himiko showed a smile and said “Let’s talk about it”.
「This battle’s purpose was to dispose of Nurarihyon……no, all the variants that might go against you. For that purpose, you used me as an excuse.」
「Well, this lady was only giving her advice out of the kindness of my heart.」
「Both to me and Nurarihyon.」
「Fu……」
All I got was a smile and no reply.
I don’t know what Himiko wanted to flush out the rebellious for.
Is a big war coming up soon?
Or perhaps she was concerned that foreign powers were invading Japan and wanted to keep the Japanese variants united.
It is also possible that she just simply wanted to strengthen her dominance.

I even feel that me talking to her in this way is playing a role in raising her charisma.
Furthermore, I think us meeting Uka is included in her calculation.
Though, I don’t know what her purpose is yet.
「Let me just ask you one thing. Were you the ones who burned down my house and attacked my classmates?」
Given the arrangements that have been made so far, it is natural to assume that it was also included in Himiko’s calculations.
All in order to force me here.

Himiko didn’t answer my question but showed me the most evil smile she has shown since I met her.
Seeing this, I instantly slashed at her.
I’m going to kill her right now!
