Time Enough to Rule, Act I: The Devil of Audacity

"Magical Girl Sera-tan is here~~☆!!"

Sera

Merry Christmas!!

Bit late into the day, but whatevs. It took longer than I thought it would to spell-check.

So! I hope you've all had wonderful days so far, but if your evening's are dull, then perhaps I might have a solution :P (unless you're not in my time-zone, then idk if it's evening for you)

See, about a month or so ago, I challenged myself to write a short story. You may have noticed that my stories tend to be rather long lmao. The idea is that I'll write something that is under 100k words....

63 Something New Times Two!

Blinking at the scenery around me, I shrug and move to plop myself down on a stair. I appear to have been moved to a shrine atop a mountain. It's not too different from my home, which is rather surprising considering the supposed resident. So, figuring that these 'Mushin' are going to come to me, I just set myself down on the top step and wait.

I don't think Inari-sama teleported me here. Not as I know it anyway, it didn't feel like teleporting.

Wacky God Magic it is. I'll think a...

62 Chitty Chatting

Inari continues to giggle at the expression on little Nara-kun's face. The stillness of his mind. Like a river pushing against a blockage of foliage. The water will get through soon enough, but it'll struggle.

And she finds that hilarious.

It's not like she ever planned to be harsh on the human that has so caught Amaterasu's attention, but still. She figured she should greet him properly. Let him fully and truly understand what it means to stand in the presence of a ...

61 What is a God?

I'm starting to get the feeling that there's something wrong with this Himejima chick. She stares so intensely I feel like I'm going to light on fire or something. Maybe that's just the fire bird she apparently has inside of her. 

Kinda makes me think of that X-woman person. I can't really remember the name, or much of anything from my last life by now, but I'm pretty sure that isn't a good comparison to have.

Keeps things interesting though~, even if I have no idea what she'...

60 Sasuga! Ain- ahem. Narauko-sama~! (lmao)

A/N: Holy crap I just figured out why sometimes there started being this in my patreon posts. It's fukin cuz doing 2 '~' symbols makes a damn strikethrough like this is an asterix on discord or something. What kinda dumbass added that shit to the system? :(

anywho

Tamamo-no-Mae, in the guise of Fujiwara no Nariko, struggles to contain her amusement at the scene surrounding her.

She had naturally managed to secure herself a spot among the nobles att...

59 Raid Boss: Phase Two

Sitting on the broken stump of a random tree, Kiyohara no Nagiko idly inspects her sword. There is nothing to see that she has not already seen, no polish to apply that she has not already done. Yet, there is little else for her to do at the moment.

Lifting her head, Nagiko is unsurprised to note that the surroundings have not changed. That being a brief glimpse of forest around her before everything is subsumed by a thick wall of white fluff.

Yes. She gave up trying to chase afte...

58 Raid Boss

There is a song stuck in my head. What's the term? An earworm? I think?

Well, whatever the word was, there is a tune playing in my mind. 

Standing under the glares of three Onmyōji, my foot unconsciously starts tapping out the opening beat of Ballroom Blitz, by Sweet.

Glancing between them, Ki and the woman both seem pretty strong. The other guy not so much.

Nagayasu will also probably be back soon. Most of my bunnies have been caught up in whatever invisible bar...

57 More Fighting!

Ducking under the swing of a sword, I twist to the side right as a spear appears where my heart was a moment ago.

"Haha! Missed m- Eee! I'm sorry!"

I yelp as the spear turns sharply and almost takes my head. I twist again the other way at the following downswing before backstepping an inch ahead of the sword's return.

Tachibana-kun really stepped his game up once the initial surprise wore off, and he's been matching my speed more or less well enough. He's a bit slower, but n...

56 The Fighting Begins!!

Standing on mountain peak, the vast world beneath me and a flagpole taller than I am in hand, I feel my blood begin to sing in my veins as anticipation wells within. The fight I'd been wating for, finally here. I don't expect anyone here to be a match to Sukuna, but together?

My grin only widens at the thought that comes.

That I might finally lose.

I know that I won't, because I am The Strongest, but by kami do I so desperately wish to be proven w...
