Kaminari no Miko

Small hands grasped the two blades of a short sword made of wood.

Take a deep breath.

Stare intently at the new mannequin.

Alice remembered every move Kaiser had taught her over the past few days.

Today, Alice trains her abilities without guidance from Kaiser figure, given that Kaiser's job is to hunt monsters for money.

“First technique: spiral twin daggers!”

Alice jumped up, she turned her body quickly and flowed her body's energy towards the symbol on her left palm.

The two swords are now illuminated.

When it spun rapidly, a vortex of wind was created and instantly destroyed 3 mannequins at once.

“Still not enough. I— must become stronger!”

***

Meanwhile, Kaiser descended the steps made of stones.

He is currently in the DG. Exactly at the end of the first floor, and the Middle down the stairs to the second floor.

“Who's there?” Kaiser felt that something was keeping an eye on his movements. But he couldn't be sure what it was.

“The lower-grade Beasts, The Hound, is the only one I've met." Said Kaiser, he drew his sword and stared intently at the herd of hounds running towards him.

They look tough.

Even more dangerous than the group of bandits a few days ago.

"

Sixth technique: tidal waves wash away land!”

Kaiser slashed horizontally with a sword that emitted a blue light, the blue light shot rapidly towards the hounds like a wave that was s weeping away the land.

“As I expected, they were pretty tough.”

You can only smile to see the monsters rise again even though they are deeply injured.

They began to howl, attacking the Kaiser in turns.

TRANG!!

One of them tried to attack the Kaiser using claws.

But luckily Kaiser was able to fend off the three-edged sword-like claws with the sword he held.

Indeed not a good option for beginners seems to be trying to go down to a deeper floor.

But.

“If I can't survive here.”

Kaiser's sharp gaze was diverted towards the monster that was behind the herd of hounds.

It was a special monster that could lead its herd, the Hell Hound.

“If I die in this ridiculous place— I will only become a curious spirit because my dreams have not been achieved, damn it!!”

Again darting quickly, this time Kaiser broke through the herd of hounds and immediately tried to deal with the smoldering Hound and was many times larger in size.

“Fourth technique: rock-splitting incision!”

It slashes to form a cross. Creates a shockwave that makes the hounds behind it bounce.

But not with the one in front of him.

It's very powerful.

“Son of a bitch!"upset Kaiser.

The Hell Hound attacked again, this time a fire appeared in the creature's mouth and it was immediately thrown out of it.

As if that terrible magic wasn't a difficult thing.

“It's so funny.”

"I died in a place like this”

“Sat helplessly waiting for the fireball to hit my head.”

Kaiser is tired. He no longer stood and stared at the approaching fireball.

“Yes, you are really sad.” Suddenly a strange sound awakened him and the fireball disappeared into nowhere.

Other than that fireball, the head of the Hell hound was suddenly severed for no reason.

No, not without reason. But his cause is moving too fast. “ What— " Kaiser's words were cut short when he realized something was stuck to his neck.

“So, you are one of the inhabitants of this world, right?” the voice is female. But if Kaiser turned his head, it was certain that his head would be cut off.

This time Kaiser was really scared.

He didn't feel that the figure behind him was human.

But he could briefly see a pair of human legs from the reflection of the Kaiser sword stuck in front of him.

“Who are you?”

What happened exactly.

“Kaminari no Miko, Kaminari Mizuri, it's me.”

Kaminari no Miko? That's Eastern, right? So what did she mean by what she said?

Being quite curious, Kaiser again tried to dare to ask about the origin of this girl.

“You will know that I am not of this world after seeing my form." Kaminari Mizuri lowered her Katana and let Kaiser turn around.

“I am from Kaminari no Kuni, and the daughter of an elder of the Ajin race. In this world, No human should have animal ears, right?”

It shows a pair of ears standing on her long black hair. It was true, it was a real ear, not even a pair of human ears behind his hair.

“You're from a dimension that collided with my dimension, right?” Kaiser began to be able to conclude. "Dimensions? Unfortunately, not only our world is colliding, but many worlds continue to collide with this temple.”

Kaminari Mizuri explains in detail. About how she got to this place.

If she is not lying, then the outline is that Kaminari Mizuri was sacrificed by her people into the mouth of the temple, or what in this world is called the Dimensional Gate to stop the endless emergence of monsters.

Her people believe that if they sacrifice the son of a high-ranking official, Kaminari no Miko, a sacred girl in their tribe, the God of this temple will no longer bring forth monsters.

That's what they believe.

“Your story is already like from the light novels that are here, so, what's next? You want to kill me?” Kaiser stood up.

“I don't want my honor as Kaminari no Miko to be damaged just for killing a battered man.” she said, closing one eye while glancing at Kaiser.

Kaminari Mizuri exhaled calmly and said, " so far, there are only a few people who know of otherworldly existences, those who have already reached the deepest floor, and those who have already met me.”

That means, Kaiser wasn't the first person to meet this cat-eared girl.

“I'm Kaiser, I'm just a beginner.”

Maybe in the future the Kaiser can trust this girl. “Kaiser, listen, I can help you become even stronger, if you will live up to my expectations.”

A big smile was implied on Mizuri's lips, she said that her wish was to make a friendship contract with Kaiser, so Kaiser could connect with her.

However, since Mizuri is an alien in this world, she will be categorized as a monster by the DG and when entering into a contract bond, the consequence is that Mizuri will have to be on the Kaiser's side.

“How? If you are by my side, you can become much stronger and can explore this place much deeper!”

“What if someone else— knows your identity, Mizuri?”

Kaiser looked at her, seeing the cat ears that were on top of Mizuri's head, he was sure that people knowing of the presence of this strange girl would cause panic.

Or, Mizuri could be hunted by a large organization in this world, No matter how strong Mizuri is, still, she will not win against the modern world out there.

Only a smile was Mizuri's reply, but before long, the girl said, “You will protect me, Kaiser.”
