Pa!

A longbow stretched out from the side, opening his palm. The approaching witch frowned as she looked at him.

"Ahem, don't misunderstand, I just wanted to take the Four Souls Jade, it was worn as a necklace around her neck. I definitely didn't intend to do anything else..." Gu Mo lightly coughed, explaining this. After all, Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, and the two are very similar. It would be bad if she held a grudge.

Kikyo didn't say anything. She just gently reached out and lightly took off the Four Souls Jade necklace from around the neck of the somewhat unsure Himura Kagome.

Then.

She quietly observed the girl who looked so much like her. After a long silence, she turned around and walked ahead, leaving behind a faint sentence—

"...Let's go."

"Alright, alright. By the way, why don't you let me hold the shards? Kikyo, you said before that it's not necessary for you to guard them specifically... that's what you said, right?"

The witch ignored him.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Mo also smiled and shook his head. He then inserted the Tusk Sword into the ground, releasing his grip and watching it revert to a tattered, rusty Iron Sword. He beckoned to the dazed Himura Kagome and quickly turned to leave.

The Iron Shattering Fang is quite decent, but he didn't plan to keep it for himself—besides, it's not the fully upgraded version yet. Currently, this Demon Blade doesn't tempt him that much; he can't even casually perform the Wind Injury... He has better options.

And if he were to take it away, he'd likely be targeted by the Big Dog.

"Huh? They actually just left like that..."

Standing there, watching their figures fade into the distance, Himura Kagome exhaled a long breath, still somewhat in disbelief.

Looking at the Iron Shattering Fang inserted in the ground before her, she couldn't help but show a look of joy. Wonderful, even the Demon Blade was left behind, seemed like a good person... No, not right! She touched her neck, unable to hold back a wail.

"Ahhhh! Everything was taken away..."

After struggling to get this far, and not knowing how many demons were defeated and how many malicious plots were encountered along the way, it was a hard-earned feat to collect nearly one-third of the Jade shards, and now they were all taken away at once.

Frustratedly scratching her hair, the girl was furious yet tearless. For the sake of these things, she frequently took leave, missing countless classes, with her attendance becoming precarious, and her exam scores plummeting... Even putting those aside, she had become a laughingstock at school for taking so many leaves!

A girl in the prime of her youth, rumors had spread in school about her having rheumatism and diabetes...

Paying such a high price, the collected results were snatched clean today. How could she not break down and go crazy over this, even feeling an urge to give up and not care about this troublesome affair anymore?

......

"Where are we going?"

In the distance, swarms of white Death Soul Worms flew forward across the sky. Gu Mo, riding on them, looked at their direction and asked.

"I need to return to Maple Village, to ask some questions..."

The witch, staring straight ahead, answered in a somewhat unknown tone.

"Oh, I see..."

Gu Mo nodded. He knew this would be the case. A better option was here, wasn't it? He just wasn't sure if he could use that well to traverse time and return to the modern world five hundred years later. That Demon Sword should be gathering dust in the shrine's storeroom.
