I planned to announce this after we reach the 3rd patreon goal, but I managed to hire a translator much earlier than scheduled so I have no choice but to push forward my schedule.
First of all, give yourselves, the patrons, a hand of applause, this option has only become possible thanks to all the awesome patrons who have supported me thus far. When I first opened this Patreon account, I was honestly not expecting much, maybe 1 to 3 Patrons at most. However, over the past few months, th...

Chapter 36: Spirit Power, True Essence and Resentful Spirit
Early in the morning, Lily went to the forest near the shrine to practice with her sword.
Compared to the dojo, she preferred this place. First, she was waiting for the certificate and it wasn’t convenient to ask Sakiko to help her with anything. Second, she got something she didn’t want the others to see.
Nanako had washed the clothes pretty late last night so she was still sleeping. Lily did...

Chapter 35: Shiu
“Powers?” Lily was cheered up.
Lily felt annoyed that the animas she had risked her life to seize couldn’t even serve as a good tonic to Sakura. However, as she thought about this point, she could assume that Sakura wasn’t a low-level shikigami. Anyway, since Sakura’s memory was imperfect, she didn’t even know how strong she originally was.
Sakura said, “Master, your anima container could be said exquisitely made, but its lev...

Chapter 34: Wind Demon Clan
Inside a dim-lit room situated by the foothills of the mountains north of Takeshita Town, a dozen of flickering candles were lit up in the cold wind, shining partially.
More than half of Dadouji Akira’s gruesome face hid in the dark, which made him more malicious. The senile onmyoji was sitting on the floor, meditating. Sometimes, he coughed dryly.
A martial monk pushed the door open, reporting, “Master Akira, we checked tho...

Saikanji Nanako had never felt so embarrassed since the day she was born.
“There!” Nanako knelt in front of Lily and unwillingly handed the slave contract with her name on it.
Lily received it with no trace of politeness.
“You big-breasted woman, i- it’s not like I wanted to become your slave and yielded to you! T- this is only to preserve my honor and reputation as a samurai of the Saik...

“Eee-yaah---!” Nanako suddenly let out a cute and spirited cry as she charged towards Lily while cutting through the wind. Her speed was extremely...

The river banks were filled with light-colored mists.
Lily walked past the wooden bridge and arrived at the other side, which was mainly occupied by trees and mountains.
She walked along the gravel lane just outside the shrine. The lush greenery at the roadside carried with them a fragrant smell. Lily was feeling quite pleasant at the moment. Who would have thought that her power was already appr...

The evening was still long ways off, so Lily put away the slip of paper for now.

Not only did she get kissed in an unexpected situation the day before, she even lost the Sakura Parasol. She never thought that the parasol would fall into the hands of such an annoying litt...

The morning after that night, Akira and gang went down the valley to search for the “heirloom” after confirming that the Mountain Imps colon...

Low-Rank+
Superior Low-Rank
