Chapter 1799:

The burning bonfire illuminated the courtyard of the shrine, the shrill but not harsh cicadas chirped from the lush old trees, and the refreshing breeze blew across the earth and the faces of the two girls in the corridor, but it did not take away the girls' nervousness.

The girl walking in front was tall and tall, with snow-white skin, slightly earlier hair color, long ponytail and gorgeous facial features, reminiscent of cherry blossoms in April.

The girl who followed behind was relatively short, but her proportions were excellent. Although her figure was thin and thin, it did not bring a sense of fragility. Instead, she had a finely crafted edge, and her lips and eyes were solemn and tightened. It also added a little perseverance to the girl.

The two were wearing light blue sailor uniforms, which were the school uniforms of a famous Shinto middle school in the Kyoto area. Judging from the color of the bow ties, they should each be students in the second and first year of junior high school, and the older one had just turned fourteen years old. .

——Himehiraine Yukina and Hwangsaka Sayaka.

The two girls who were nominally Shinto middle school students were apprentice witches of the Lion King agency, and their research was not mathematics, physics and chemistry, but martial arts and magic that tended to be more fighting.

However, at this moment, the girls walking in the courtyard of the shrine at night did not feel at ease because of their extraordinaryness, some were just lingering depression.

The closer she got to the main hall of the shrine, the more disturbed Hsakasa Sayaka's face became. Although she was one year older than Jihirasu Yukina, she was far behind the other when it came to concentration, and at this moment, Under the unease that came today, Hwangsaka Sayaka finally couldn't help but ask:

"Xuena... we'll be fine, right?"

"Didn't Mr. Sonoda say that this time, although the age is limited, it can only be performed by us apprentice witches, but the degree of danger is not high." Ji Hiiragi Yukina explained in a slightly soft voice, although she said it was dangerous The degree is not large, but there is still a little unease under the girl's firm eyes.

The training system of the Lion King institution generally lasts until the age of sixteen, and the outstanding ones can even complete the test at the age of fifteen. They are successfully promoted from a trainee priestess to a trainee swordsman who is good at melee combat or a Wuweiyuan who is good at cursing. Complete a variety of trial tasks under the leadership, and then officially become a member of the Lion King organization.

However, the current Ji Hiragan Yukina is only thirteen years old, and Hwangsaka Sayaka is only fourteen years old. Neither of them has completed their studies and became either Sword Witch or Wu Weiyuan. In the final analysis, the two are just Just a stream of students.

In the thousand-year history of The Lion King Agency, although it is not that there have been young witches who have taken on important tasks, they are often talented girls who have reached the age of fifteen and have officially graduated. It is a breakthrough in history to let the witches who are studying carry out tasks. lower limit of .

After the teacher's heavy assessment, it was determined that Jihiira Yukina and Hwangsaka Sayaka, who were determined to be able to take on this important task, were naturally nervous before the real task was assigned.

"Although that's true..."

Hearing Yukina Jihira's explanation, Huangsaka Sayaka felt a little more at ease, then turned her head and looked at the cool and quiet shrine wrapped in the night, her face couldn't help but put on a little panic and said:

"But isn't it strange?"

"What's so strange?" Ji Hiragana Yukina, who had been walking closer to the shrine, turned her head, her childish face was slightly puzzled.

"It's all very strange!" Huangsaka Sayaka's tone was a little frightened:

"The group training, various assessments, and various battles that started suddenly before midnight. Originally Yubo and Feichuan were a little ahead of us in points, but because they were not orphans, they were brushed off. This is not very good. Strange? What mission requires a designated apprentice priestess, and must be an orphan?"

"Yubo and the others were brushed down because they were not orphans? Where did you hear about Sayaka?" Hearing the unexpected news, Ji Hiiragi Xuecai suddenly looked stunned.

Yuba Yuri and Hikawa Shio, two witches of the same age as Hwangsaka Sayaka, were the biggest opponents in the group training and assessment of the two before, and even took the lead for a while. Such an excellent witch is not an orphan. ' This point was eliminated, it can be said to be abnormal.

Hwangsaka Sayaka subconsciously covered her mouth. After all, the way she obtained the news was not a legitimate way. However, under the stern gaze of Ji Hiragan Yukina, the girl still said hesitantly:

"When I was cleaning the training ground before, I heard the communication between Mr. Sonoda and Priest Yuba. Priest Yuba himself said that his daughter was not suitable for this task, so Mr. Sonoda made them more difficult and brushed them off. Come down, this is not normal, is it?"

What kind of tasks need to exclude the influence of family background, and what kind of tasks must designate orphans? And let a Yubo priest operate behind the scenes to get his daughter out of the game? How do you look at it, it looks like an abandoned child, right?

Thinking of this, Hwangsaka Sayaka was inexplicably panicked in her heart. She looked at Ji Hiragan Yukina's childish face and said hesitantly:

"A few days ago, Yuantang Teacher said that he had not come back after he went on a mission."

"I know." Thinking of her fate as a priestess instructor, Ji Hiragana's expression changed slightly, "She also said that fast enough to go back and forth in one day, the slowest is three days, and now it is the fourth day ."

Although he is very afraid of the teacher who likes to set punishment games for his disciples, for Ji Hiiragi Yukina, who was adopted by the Lion King agency when he was young, the identity of the other party is more like a parent like a mother than an instructor.

Such a character suddenly missed the appointment, coupled with the sudden situation now, Ji Hiragana Yukina couldn't help worrying about Yuantangyuan's situation.

Looking at Yukina Jihiira with a complicated expression in front of her, Hwangsaka Sayaka took a deep breath, and then said seriously:

"Xuena, let's escape, while the strongest teacher is not here, let's leave the High God's Society."

At that time, I will cover and divert the pursuers, and at least Yukina will be able to leave... Hwangsaka Sayaka has a complicated mood. In any case, she didn't want to let the girl in front of her die, even if she wanted to block her life.

"I reject."

Ji Hiiragi Yukina refused without thinking, and stared at Huangsaka Sayaka with sharp eyes, "Sayaka must be thinking of something dangerous just now, must be so?"

"Uh..." Huangsaka Sayaka suddenly felt a little guilty, especially under the sharp eyes of Ji Hiragana, she had the illusion that her heart was seen through, and at this time, Ji Hiragana had turned around. , said in a rather stern tone:

"In the end, Sayaka thinks that what is dangerous is the only one who thinks it is dangerous. Didn't Mr. Sonoda say that the risk factor of this mission is not high. It is only because of the age limit that the apprentice witch is used. In view of this, I choose to believe what the teachers say."

When Huangsaka Sayaka heard the words, looking at the girl's back, she had been a roommate for many years with Ji Hiirah Yukina, and she grew up together almost since childhood. She immediately understood that the other party had made a choice, so she could only mumble a few words:

"But it doesn't rule out the possibility of them being deceived. After all, Sonoda-sensei is Wu Weiyuan. She's good at cursing and deceiving. She's always vigilant against everyone, cursing and killing witches, and fooling us is not the same as playing."

"Then I'll be deceived once. In the end, if I hadn't been adopted by the Lion King agency, I would have frozen to death in the winter when I was seven years old. If I can live to this day, or even receive an education, it all depends on the grant from the Lion King agency. , if you want to take it back, I'll just go back." Ji Hiragana Xuena explained as she walked. It's just that the tone is not as firm and severe as before.

When Huangsaka Sayaka heard this, she felt a little distressed and said:

"What about after you go back?"

Ji Hiiragi Yukina stopped, turned her head to the side, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said a little absently:

"After that... I don't know... I don't know where else I can go besides here."

The Lion King agency was turned into orphans, and qualified young witches were trained as props. Although this was cruel, it informed all the witches under the metaphor of the thoughtful sword wizard.

Instead of letting the witches face the future in the terrifying unknown, it is better to let them wither in the relief of the known. This is one of the few coddlings of these children by the ageless elves.

"Is that so... I really hate this kind of future." Huangsaka Sayaka murmured, then looked at Ji Hiragana Xuena, who continued to move forward, gritted her teeth and said, "Xueca, wait for me, the task is to It's a team of two, you don't have me, you go to execute a ghost~"

Saying that, Ji Hiragan Yukina couldn't help but slow down a bit, and after Huangsaka Sayaka caught up, the two entered the main hall of the shrine together.

Bear! Bear! Bear!

After the two girls stepped in, the candle ignited in the main hall, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the entire room.

Under the light of candlelight, in the empty room, two futons came into view of Yukina Jihiira and Sayaka Huangsaka, while on the opposite side of the futon, there was a fine bead curtain. Behind the bead curtain, two The figure kneeling on the futon is like a shadow.

Jihiira Yukina and Hwangsaka Sayaka glanced at each other, then stepped forward and knelt behind the futon.

As the two took their seats, a cold female voice sounded.

"Who's here?"

"Ji Hiragana, Ji Hiiragi Yukina."

"Hwangsaka Sayaka."

The two girls responded nervously, and then the serious atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and a female voice mixed with laughter sounded.

"Xuecai-chan and Sayaka-chan? Congratulations, you passed the final assessment. I didn't expect you to actually stand up to the darkness in your heart and step into this main hall. Are you worthy of being a disciple of Yuantang Teacher?"

"Huh?" X2

The two were stunned for a moment, and then buzzed, and the tingling sensation in their heads made them hold their foreheads.
