LILY’S THOUGHT 2

Mirror, come with me and journey together. In this world with no science and technology, this was the only medium that allowed her to see her own beauty.

Hojo stared blankly for a moment. It seemed as though he was fascinated by this name, "Such a beautiful name…"

Lily was indifferent to his careless remark.

Hojo also felt that he was a little rude. Thereupon, he hurriedly took half a step back and bowed, "Could it be… young lady is from the renowned Kagami clan in the distant Kansai region?"

"Ah, that's right…" Lily answered without thinking it through. Lily had a really bright mind. Since he said distant Kansai region, in this ancient world with slow communication and lack of information, he clearly didn't know much about that place. Hence she easily admitted this family background. There shouldn't be a big problem.

"Why is young lady out here all alone? Tonight is 15th July, the night of ghost festival!"

This Hojo unintentionally informed Lily of today's date.

"Ah, that is…" Lily was stammering as she tried to weave a reason. Then all of a sudden, a vibration came from underfoot.

"Earthquake? Could this place be the same as Japan and has many earthquakes?" That was the first thoughts that crossed Lily's mind.

It was that wind again! The same kind of wind that made her shudder during the night parade!

"This is bad! Follow me quickly!" That samurai didn't explain and pulled Lily towards the roadside and hide at the back of a willow. He took out a cloth with ancient writings from his bag and used it to cover both Lily and himself without asking.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked with a slightly angry tone.

"Shhh… don't make any noise no matter what. Just stay quiet and look… Under the cover of this cloth, as long as they don't pay special attention to us, we won't be discovered…"

Lily also guessed that something was about to happen, so she didn't say anything else. They just looked towards the direction where the wind was blowing from.

What they saw walking out from the dense fog was a majestic demon with two golden horns sprouting from its head, green skin, and a dark brown fur was draped to its back.

The demon almost looked the same as the one Lily encountered in the night parade. However, it was even bigger. This one was almost five meters tall!

"Gosh! That's a Green Demon! And such a big one at that…" Cold sweat was oozing from Hojo's forehead, "We must not be discovered. Otherwise, both of us are dead."

She felt that the cloth was not too reliable, but Lily didn't want to reveal the sakura parasol unless it's a crisis. Moreover, the parasol couldn't conceal two people at all.

"Aren't you a warrior dispatched by the government? Can you still be regarded as a samurai to hide at the sight of a demon?" Lily ridiculed him. If she could provoke this guy to fight with the Green Demon, she could unfurl the parasol and run away regardless of the result.

In order to protect senior sister's body, Lily hardly felt any guilt! What's more, wasn't it a samurai's job to protect the common people?

"Miss Kagami, you seem like a girl from a wealthy family, but how come your words are so ignorant." Lily's words had clearly hurt his pride, hence he retorted in a low voice, "Green Demon over the height of two meters is not a monster common soldier can handle! This one is at least four to five meter tall. Even if you assemble the entire army stationed in this city, there would only be disastrous casualties! It might be possible to suppress it if only Genji is dispatched! Though low ranking samurai like us can exterminate demons and protect common people, however, when facing such a powerful demon, all we can do is borrow you half of this Sanskrit Cloth. Challenging such a huge Green Demon with the power of one man? That's an impossible task! A warrior's courage and throwing one's life away due to ignorance are two different things!"

Hojo kept on speaking endlessly to defend his pride as a warrior. Meanwhile, on the other side of the wide street, a tall female samurai appeared.

That female samurai was facing the giant Green Demon and walked over here.

From visual estimation, she was even taller than Lily. She was wearing a black sleeveless blouse with a golden sash wrapped around her waist. Her short skirt was formed by two pieces of black clothes covering only the front and back.

Her silver hair was so long that it reached her heels. On her back, she was carrying a sword so big that it was out of common sense. Her slender legs were bare and she wore a pair of leather shoes. She was walking with elegant steps as she made her way here.

Evidently, the female samurai and the giant Green Demon had already discovered each other.

Sharp fangs were exposed on the Green Demon's already terrifying face, and the female samurai was still just as fearless as she walked towards the Green Demon with confidence. Those breasts that seemed to be even bigger than Lily's were bouncing, as though they were boasting her calmness and arrogance.
