Feng Yu Chen & co was sorting out the details of base establishment when Takashi and Hirano emerged from the forest apparently retreating out of it with grave expressions.\nâSenpai, thereâs a shrine within this forest and there is a miko there using zombies to chase us away. Sheâs not letting us get close to the shrine, we are out of ideas on how to get her out of there.â
Takashi said while heaving.
Feng Yu Chen is a bit confused as he said.
âHold on, Takashi listen to waht youâre saying, commanding the undead? A miko? Are you for real here or are you just pulling a joke with us? How can anyone command the zombies?â
âItâs real senpai, if you donât believe me you can ask KohtaâŠâ
Takashi sternly replied.
Feng Yu Chen turned to Hirano Kohta.
Kohta responded in a serious manner as well.
âIt might seem a bit outrageous but sheâs certainly commanding the zombies. Mikos can be very mysterious at times so she probably has some special powerâŠâ
Feng Yu Chen curled his lips.
Fine, be calm. Since something like Infinite System exists, a Miko with sepcial ability shouldnât be that surprising, I wonder what this zombie commanding girl is like?â
âVery well, we will go to the shrine and look around. If this Miko joined us it would a very fine addition to our combat assets. Minami and the others will stay on lookout, Saeko, Asami, Takashi, Kohta, us five will be going thereâŠâ
âNnâŠâ
Everyone nodded.
Feng Yu Chen, led by Takashi slowly made their way to the foot of the mountain where the shrine resides. Japanese shrines tend to be built atop mountains, the more the steps leading to it the more mystical the place is said to be. This particular shrine they are investigating really does have a lot of steps. Itâs also surrounded by a lot of trees. the whole place looked very quiet, it certainly does feel like a slightly mysterious place thatâs for sure.
When Feng Yu Chen & co climbed up to the shrine they found a girl draped in Miko traditional clothing sitting beneath eaves of the shrine while eating her meal. Around her stood many zombies, these zombies didnât looked like they had any intention of attacking the Miko.
The miko instantly went into alert mode when she heard them approaching. She panicked and pointed her finger at them.
âYou guys best leave, you should all leave now. This place has been overtaken by demons, itâs not somewhere you should approachâŠ.â
Demons?
Feng Yu Chen couldnât comprehend what the girl is saying. However, Feng Yu Chen is sure that the miko before his eyes is one of the Infinity Players, player 012, Suzumiya Haruna. Sheâs not hiding her name so Feng Yu Chen could check her identity. As a player that can command zombies, this player is pretty good. If she uses her power in the correct manner, she would be stronger than Feng Yu Chen.
âHello, my nameâs Feng Yu Chen and this here are my friends, Busujima Saeko, Komuro Takashi, Hirano Kohta, Nakaoka Asami. We come bearing no ill intention. I donât know what you meant by demons but if youâre referring to the zombies as the demons then let me tell you one thing. The world is now filled with these demons and we are the ones fighting them everyday.â
Feng Yu Chen explained.
âThe whole world has been overran by demons? How can that be? This one thought it was a punishment from the gods that turned everyone in this shrine into demons and this oneâs duty here is to manage them so they donât go around and cause trouble for everybodyâŠâ (Tl: sheâs referring to herself in 3rd person)
Sweats
Feng Yu Chen & co were stupefied.
This girl⊠sheâs overthinking itâŠ
Feng Yu Chen has read quite an amount of anime so he know that Mikos are something of a messenger of the gods that conveys the wills of the gods. Something like a chief priest or prophet. A miko also holds the duty to get rid of calamities. Managing demons is one their duties, think Kikyo of Inuyasha or Hakurei Reimu from Touhou.
Well shit, does this Suzumiya Haruna really thinks she had been given a job by the god to manage these demons (zombies) so they donât cause calamities? Damn, and she even managed to successfully control them as well. What a pain in the ass setting. Is this girl really an individual of the 21st century? Are you kidding me? Managing demons? You should really wake up hereâŠ
Itâs no tonly Feng Yu Chen, the others were throwing retorts as well. This girl is just full of it, if they donât tsukkomi they will feel upset. The girl before them clearly has transcended normal humanâs thought process.
âOk fine, Miss miko why donât you come and subdue the demons (zombies) with us by descending the mountain since you obviously have the ability to command demons (zombies). Use those abilities to make the demons fight their own kind, in that way, the world can be saved. The gods probably dindât want you to idly eat rice here like a fool instead they wanted you to and subdue some demons (zombies).â
Feng Yu Chen said in a way that Suzumiya Haruna could understand.
Suzumiya Haruna thought about what he said and passionately nodded before standing up from the tatami mat and clapping her hands together while praying towards the sky.
âHaruna has received your will and will absolutely subdue the demons (zombies) and return the world to a peaceful state!â
â!!!â
You really believed it!!
Feng Yu Chen & co wanted to tsukkomi again. This lass definitely has some screws loose in her head.
âI think I believe our countries Miko legends nowâŠâ
Kohta said.
Takashi who looked like he was shocked as well concurred.
âYeap, I think I believe it as well. I think Iâve met a bona fide Miko-samaâŠâ
Feng Yu Chen told Suzumiya Haruna.
âMiko-san, er, I think you should let the demons (zombies) kill each other first. They wonât stand up anymore after having their brains destroyed, in this manner you will be sending them on their proper way towards reincarnationâŠâ
Feng Yu Chen wanted to see Suzumiya Haruna ability to command the zombies!
Suzumiya Haruna nodded.
âVery wellâŠâ
Everyone jaw dropped when Suzumiya Haruna eyesâ turned purple and an intense power erupted from her body.
âRawrâŠ. hisss ⊠gaaaoooâŠ.â
And the zombies killed each other by sticking their sharp claws into each otherâs brains..
In a swift moment, some dozens of zombies laid dead on the floorâŠ.
âWewâŠâ
Suzumiya Haruna exhaled a a light breath after finishing that. She sat on the ground looking tired before continuing.
âUu, a bit tiring. As expected, one should eat more stuff for energyâŠ.â
Suzumiya Haruna looked like this was but a walk in the park but Feng Yu Chen & co were shocked!! This kind of power is too terrifying, is this something a normal person can do?!!!
