99 – Independence Is Coming
Risse muttered that for a while, then made his tail invisible and turned around. Narumi, who was grooming her tail with her fine comb, was not taken aback when her tail suddenly disappeared, carefully collected the hair caught in her fine comb, wrapped it in a clean cloth, and put it in a luxurious-looking small box. Put in
Rise, who was watching the scene blankly, felt a slight vibration and took out his smartphone to check the text message.
“The work in Russia will be finished sooner or later. Are there any problems? 』
RiSe replied with a bright smile as if she was happy that she had been contacted.
” No problem. Politicians are obsessed with the dolls given by the divine lord, so they don’t even have to go up and down in the newspapers with women-related scandals. With the help of the elder, many yakuza were wiped out. Both shrines are operating to some extent, but the status quo is barely maintained because my father and Priest Yoshiaki are interested in other places. 』
『What about the psychic spot? 』
『 We have secured a total of 5 locations. We purchased land and buildings with a construction company, and set up guards to control access. No one can enter without God’s permission. And as you said, I set up a gold line to prevent the existence inside from escaping. 』
What makes a gentleman branch? 』
Rise glanced at her Narumi.
“Narumi.”
“Yes, lady.”
Narumi, dressed in clothes that her maid would wear, politely responded to Rise’s words.
Her behavior was respectful, her tone full of reverence, but her expression, expressionless, seemed devoid of any emotion.
“Are you happy?”
At that question, Narumi trembled for a moment.
But soon she said it sternly.
“I’m happy.”
Lise heard her answer and called her new Tani and attached it to her.
The new Tani, hiding her true form, moved around beside her. Turning her body upside down, she hovered around Narumi, climbed up her body and stood on her head, crawling on her limbs like a bug climbing a tree.
Bird Tani, repeating her eccentric behavior, smiled and shook her head.
Then she moved her mouth again and again and said.
Ah.
You.
Hey.
Seeing that, Rise hardened her expression and approached her.
Then, she lowered her head, put her finger on the tip of Narumi’s chin, lifted it up, and asked again while looking straight into her expressionless face.
“Really?”
“Yes. I’m happy.”
“What makes you happy?”
“I’m so happy to be able to serve God.”
If you just listen, you can see loyalty that comes from the heart or respect that comes from instinct. However, outside of Rise’s line of sight, Narumi’s clenched fist trembled slightly, revealing at least some of her emotions.
“Happy?”
“Yes. It makes me happy to serve such a great person.”
At her words, Rise tilted her head and looked up as if thinking about something.
The new Tani continued to shake her head.
Besides, unlike before, when she moved her mouth clearly and slowly, she spoke in a voice that only Rise could hear.
“Lie.”
“Lie.”
“It is a lie.”
“I don’t think I’m happy, I don’t think I’m happy.”
“I miss youAre doing.”
“I resent the god.”
“I’m resenting the sudden disaster.”
“He thinks he doesn’t know why this happened to him. He wants revenge.”
“I’m jealous of you.”
“She’s jealous of you, who has gained undeserved power by fawning over a strong person. She’s jealous and angry that you, an insignificant, suddenly stand above her own. This woman”
“This woman.”
“Complaints”
“It’s full.”
Risse nodded her head without expressing the new Tani’s voice.
“I can be happy like that.”
“Yes.”
“I serve a great person. Yes. I swore to attend the Goddess, and I said I would dedicate everything to him. And I don’t know much about him… But he was definitely a great man.”
Rise glanced at Narumi.
“He’s a bit aggressive, but at least he is, yes. He says he makes me happy, so he must be a great guy.”
“Of course.”
Narumi continued to answer Rise expressionlessly.
And as if responding to that expressionless expression, Rise smiled lightly.
“But I don’t think Shinju can be a great person to you.”
The lightly drawn smile disappeared in an instant.
Just as the snow that fell on a cold winter day melts into unfrozen water and disappears, as the cold wind blows past a bare tree.
However, the snow that fell on the unfrozen water turned the water into ice, and the coldness remained and made Narumi freeze, just as the cold wind froze the trees with its traces.
“Liar.”
“Yes?”
Rise’s eyes were empty.
It was deeper than Narumi, who had lost everything she had and became empty, and when she looked at her, emptiness filled her as if she were being sucked into an abyss. However, there was a dull light in the innermost part of the eye, similar to a zealot who blindly gazed at only one thing.
From noble mtl dot com
Rise looked at Narumi with empty eyes and reached out her hand behind him.
Then the slime shook her body once and pulled out a thorn from her body and put it in her hand.
Snuggle Geek!
A tremendous amount of divine energy was concentrated in the thorns in RiSe’s hand.
“You made me unhappy. You spread bad things about me to people, urged them not to talk to me, and when they managed to get close to someone, they put pressure on them and made them distance themselves from me. That’s why I’m not close with other shrine maidens. No, I couldn’t get close.”
“I’m sorry. But I’m reflecting now.”
“It was definitely painful. But I didn’t think about Miko seriously. I didn’t think much about serving someone, and the divine power bestowed by Mukurikokurin no Inugami is nothing more than air to me, so it’s precious to me. “Yeah, maybe this attitude of mine just offended you. Anyone can have a grievance against someone who doesn’t take their job seriously, and I’m free to express that dissatisfaction. Yes, I am.” I think so.”
Narumi looked into Rise’s eyes as if possessed.
She had the feeling that something was wrong, but she was just frozen in the aftermath of her tremendous divine power gathering in Risse’s hands, unable to properly control her body.
“By the way. I want to exercise my freedom now to express my dissatisfaction. Yes, I have a grievance with you now.”
“Yes yes?”
“You lost the god you were going to serve. That’s why you’re unhappy. HaBut I told you You made me unhappy in the past, but I have the right to be happy. I will give you a chance to be happy. He said he wanted to take the opportunity seriously and find happiness. Now that we are serving God together, I will bury my ill feelings. Do you remember?”
“Yes yes.”
“But why does God’s consideration, my consideration. Why does it seem like a one-way street?”
A strange madness was emanating from Rise, who asked with an expressionless face.
“Serving the new god, serving the new god. They said you could be happy if you did just that. So you said that you would serve the new god with all your heart and help the god, but… It was a lie.”
“Hey, wait!”
“I said this to Shinju. While you are away for a while, I will take good care of it. I will do my best not to cause any problems, and I will take care of everything without missing anything. But I’m not even properly managing the successor to Shinju’s shaman. I couldn’t.”
“Wait, Lisse! Listen to me!”
Narumi exclaimed urgently.
Having seen what Lise did to someone who seemed to cause her trouble, she knew what she was about to do.
“Lise, no lady! I didn’t lie! I!”
“Is it so?”
Risse said to her with her smile on her face.
“Then it must have been because of your lack of sincerity.”
Fu-wook!
Rise stuck her thorn in her own hand into Narumi’s chest.
And as if waiting for that, the new Tani revealed herself and danced with a tear-jerking laugh. Then she suddenly stopped and smiled at Rise.
“I went.”
“All.”
“All.”
“Crab.”
Saetani laughed bizarrely and opened the mouth of the stunned Narumi. Then she pushed her head into Narumi’s mouth.
The new Tani’s head, though the size of a child, was not big enough to fit in her mouth, but the air began to enter Narumi’s mouth, shaping back and forth as if squeezing a deflated balloon.
Narumi’s neck moved, and her Narumi’s skin bulged as if a snake had entered her body. Just like that, the new Tani went inside Narumi’s body.
Rise, who had been watching her, sent a text message to Jinseong.
” Sorry. Not yet. But I will take responsibility and educate you. 』
『I will believe it. 』
RiSe smiled slightly at her returned message.
“Yes. Trust me. I will believe too.”

The Russian wind was cold, but the atmosphere at the hotel was warm.
As if you get tired when you warm up in front of the fireplace, the spacious suite was full of warm atmosphere.
Ella had an older sister she didn’t know about, and Anastasia was messing around with her. Lee Ah-rin said that she has more people to pet, and she likes them, and she clings to them.
The tumultuous appearance seemed to embody happiness as it was.
But being happy doesn’t mean everything is over.
“Now it’s your turn. I’m going to do a ritual, so I’m going to refrain from eating food for the day and cleanse my body through ablutions.”
＜BR＞ Jin-seong did not forget why he came to Russia.
