Vol 2. Chapter 21: Dealing with White Yama
At present,
There was one issue that had Yumo rather troubled.
Namely, how to deal with Miss White Yama, the Heavenly Apostle.
As for Mengxi, because her soul power had been exhausted, she had temporarily entered a childish state. Apparently, once her soul power recovered, she would return to her original form, and after that, she would completely forget everything that had happened during this period.
Enmm, probably?
So Mengxi wasn't much of a problem...
However,
The troublesome one was this Holy Knight of the Asumos Church.
Unlike Mengxi, Lord White Yama had no issue of depleted soul power!
Although she had consumed an enormous amount of strength, she had merely been knocked unconscious by Liyu's kick!
Once she recovered, there was a ninety percent chance she would remember what had happened before!
Because of this, Yumo had specifically instructed Liyu to periodically cast the Great Memory Oblivion Technique on the Heavenly Apostle—namely, every few days, smashing her over the head with an Ora...
Enmm, but whether it could really make her forget the scenes she had witnessed remained an unknown.
If White Yama remembered and spread the news, the entire continent would probably learn that Mengxi had been taken away by Blood Butterflies.
And if she later sent Mengxi back to the Asumos Church, the Church might become suspicious upon seeing the completely unharmed Child of Destiny.
They might suspect that Mengxi had some connection with Abyss Demons...
That would be troublesome.
After all, humanity's unity was extremely important in resisting the Abyss Demons.
Therefore,
Yumo believed she absolutely could not allow White Yama to bring those memories back to the Church.
If it were an ordinary person, Yumo would probably choose the simple solution of silencing them permanently.
But White Yama was a rare Sword God-level existence!
One of the continent's top combat powers!
Killing her or crippling her would simply be too wasteful.
Yumo was still hoping that White Yama would become a reliable companion for the heroine in the future.
After all, she seemed rather loyal...
She had actually dared charge at me for Mengxi's sake.
Yumo thought inwardly.
She then shared her thoughts with her daughters.
Aside from Limo, who was too distracted by her upcoming "make-up lessons" to pay attention,
Liyu and Shuoyue both revealed expressions of understanding.
However,
Deep within the eyes of both girls, an icy chill flashed unnoticed.
“Mother, do you want me to try using false reality to overwrite that section of her memories?”
“Yes. Is that possible?”
“Enmmm, I'll give it a try.”
After taking a deep breath and understanding Yumo's intentions, Shuoyue slowly released her arms from around Yumo's neck.
Surrounded by floating water droplets, the blue-haired girl drifted over to White Yama and carefully examined the pinnacle combatant of the Asumos Church.
The two seventh-tier Abyss Demons guarding White Yama wisely retreated to the sides.
Blue-gold Shadow of Silence Power slowly flowed out of Shuoyue's body and enveloped White Yama.
The cute girl's eyes, adorned with golden roses, blinked several times.
Then, she frowned and slowly turned back toward Yumo with a guilty expression.
“Sorry, Mommy. This woman's soul power isn't much weaker than mine. Under these circumstances, I can't directly overwrite her memories...”
“No way to do it?”
Hearing this answer, Yumo felt a little disappointed.
If even Shuoyue couldn't deal with it, she might really have to resort to some extreme methods...
Fortunately,
After a moment of silence, the blue-haired girl revealed a charming, confident smile.
“Hehe, Mommy~ I still have another method~”
“Hm? What kind?”
“I'll tell you if you kiss me~”
Shuoyue giggled mischievously and floated back in front of Yumo, extending a slender finger and pointing at her soft, delicate cheek.
She clearly looked like she wouldn't tell her unless she got her kiss.
Seeing this, Miss Yumo could only smile helplessly and lovingly rub Shuoyue's little head.
This girl...
Though her body looked rather mature, inside she was still just as spoiled as before...
Sigh.
Perhaps this was the privilege of being the youngest.
Facing her youngest child, Yumo smiled warmly and nodded.
“Enmm, alright.”
As she spoke,
Yumo brushed aside the black hair by her cheek and leaned down.
Like a dragonfly touching the water, she gently kissed Shuoyue's cheek.
“There, satisfied now?”
“Mhm!”
Receiving Yumo's reward, Shuoyue immediately revealed a sweet and content smile and nodded excitedly.
Then, the blue-haired girl proudly glanced at her two older sisters behind Yumo.
In the past,
As the youngest daughter, Shuoyue always liked taking advantage of her age to act spoiled toward Yumo and tease her brothers and sisters.
And little Shuoyue greatly enjoyed their jealous gazes.
But this time, things were somewhat different.
Liyu watched the scene indifferently without the slightest reaction.
Meanwhile, Limo was still depressed over having to attend "make-up lessons" and hadn't even noticed the interaction between Shuoyue and Mother.
The wolf girl stood there blankly in a daze...
Wuu...
How boring...
Shuoyue pouted in disappointment.
“So? Can I tell you now?”
Hearing Yumo's words, Shuoyue concealed her little thoughts and replied with a sweet smile.
“Mhm! Now I can, Mommy!”
As she spoke,
Shuoyue floated back beside White Yama and playfully held the white-haired girl's cheeks.
“She was repeatedly subjected to physical brain repair by Sister Liyu. Although perfect physical amnesia wasn't achieved, her memories of seeing Mommy have already become very blurry.”
“Really?”
“Yes, Mommy~”
“So, how do you plan to deal with it?”
“Hehe, I only need to use layered dreams to blur everything. White Yama's memories are already confused, so if I implant realistic dreams into her, I can make her confuse dreams with reality~ I'll bury the memory of meeting Mommy deep inside her subconscious. As long as Mommy doesn't meet her in this form, Miss White Yama won't easily recall anything related to Mommy!”
That way,
She'll only think she was blown away by a Mana Fission Bomb~
By then, Church and Snow Night Empire,
Let's see how you're going to repair your relationship~
Child of Destiny and Child of Fate?
You can fight among yourselves first~
Fight until one side dies~
Let's see what you'll have left to use against Mommy~
Hehe~
An unnoticed malicious smile appeared on Shuoyue's face.
Meanwhile, Miss Yumo held her chin and thought carefully.
“I see, that does sound pretty good~”
Wow,
I don't completely understand it, but it sounds impressive...
A trace of awkwardness appeared in Yumo's smile.
Among her children, although Shuoyue loved clinging to her the most, because the girl was the youngest and usually slept all the time, Yumo actually knew very little about her abilities...
Still,
Looking at her confident expression, there shouldn't be a problem, right?
In that case...
Yumo nodded approvingly.
“Alright, Shuoyue. Give it a try.”
“Okay! I won't disappoint Mommy! Just watch me, Mommy!”
After excitedly waving at Yumo,
Shuoyue's body suddenly disintegrated into countless blue-gold particles of light, which slowly poured into White Yama's body and entered her spiritual world.
As Shuoyue entered her body, the tightly closed eyes of the white-haired girl suddenly trembled, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
Amidst the pain, there seemed to be hatred...
And anger...
'Hm, hopefully everything goes smoothly.'
Looking at the scene, Yumo silently prayed in her heart.
Afterward,
She looked toward the gray-haired girl behind her.
“Liyu.”
“Yes, Mother?”
“Enmm...”
Glancing at the wolf girl still standing blankly behind Liyu, Yumo couldn't help sighing.
“Sigh, later, take your silly sister back. Remember to apply her medicine.”
“Understood, Mother.”
Liyu replied in her usual obedient and adorable voice.
Yumo nodded in satisfaction.
Then,
The black-haired girl silently watched the white-haired female knight wrapped in blue-gold light.
However, at that moment,
As if sensing something, Yumo suddenly trembled.
Her brows instantly knitted together, and her crimson eyes filled with gravity.
Mengxi?
'That girl... h-how did she come outside?!'
She's awake?!
Already?!
And I...
No—
Didn't I specifically tell her not to leave the wooden house?!
The next moment,
Under Liyu's astonished gaze,
Yumo's expression changed drastically.
Surrounded by countless blood-red butterflies, she transformed into a crimson streak of light and vanished from the spot...
