Chapter 651 - Chapter 135: A Touching Embrace

When Eirin Yagokoro could no longer pull her bowstring, this battle finally came to a close. As Lancer withdrew his long spear from the opponent's body, his vision nearly went dark and he almost collapsed, but at that moment, a petite figure rushed out from behind.

Seeing Kaguya Houraisan, Lancer almost reflexively opened his injured right arm. Although in his view, Kaguya Houraisan was probably something like a "bad friend," isn't it normal to have a deeply touching embrace with a bad friend in the midst of a great war?

Then, Kaguya Houraisan——————slipped right under Lancer right arm.

???

Lancer, with a face full of confusion, didn't react to what happened for a moment, but Kaguya Houraisan had already rushed to Eirin Yagokoro's side and knelt beside her.

"Master!"

At this moment, Kaguya Houraisan didn't care at all about whether her clothes would get messed up. She looked at the wounds on Eirin Yagokoro's body with heartache; she seemed to want to help treat the other party, but for a time she didn't know what to do, appearing utterly flustered.

Seeing this scene, Eirin Yagokoro couldn't help but sigh, "Kaguya is indeed still that little cutie she doted on," but then she looked fiercely at Lancer.

She had completely seen through it now; Kaguya actually had no intention of fighting her, the other party still cared for her, and all of this was that man taking matters into his own hands.

"Wait, Kaguya, what's going on? Don't tell me she isn't here to capture you and take you back?"

Lancer, finally recovering from his surprise, realized the situation seemed a bit bizarre. But before Kaguya Houraisan could speak, Eirin Yagokoro glared at Lancer again.

"That's right!"

Undoubtedly, even if she lost, she had no intention of bowing her head in the slightest. Furthermore, she had already made up her mind: since she couldn't take Kaguya Houraisan back this time, next time she wouldn't show her face like today. When the time comes, she will shoot him dead directly before this guy can even react!

Although she had lost, she still had the confidence to escape. As the "Sage of the Moon," although she was proud, she would not lose her reason because of pride. Before doing anything, she had prepared a way out, which included failure.

Lancer, now clearly realizing things were not right, was leaning on his spear, looking at Kaguya Houraisan with a complex expression. Eirin Yagokoro, like an old mother hen protecting her chicks, held Kaguya Houraisan in her arms to protect her. At this moment, the situation of the two seemed to have completely reversed.

"Kaguya, didn't your Master intend to take you back for punishment because you manufactured the Hourai Elixir?"

"You..."

"You what 'you'! Do you know that in Japan (Japan) traditional culture there is 'rope art'? If you talk any more, I'll tie you up!"

Lancer now felt his brain circuits were failing to turn. This situation seemed very simple, but it was mixed with many hidden facts. Additionally, this ragged "auntie" had been non-stop "BB-ing" (nagging/talking), causing his already chaotic thoughts to become even more confused, so he simply "threatened" her directly.

Unfortunately, everyone present did not know what the "rope art" Lancer spoke of actually was. However, Eirin Yagokoro also seemed to see from Lancer fierce eyes that this threat was not simple. But the more important reason was that Kaguya Houraisan was simply clutching her hands tightly.

"Master... would not hurt me. Because Master can be said to be my 'accomplice.' Although I don't know why Master insists on taking me back to the Lunar Capital, Master would definitely not harm me!"

At this moment, she didn't realize the strange part of her words, because at this moment she no longer seemed to resist staying on the ground.

Kaguya Houraisan firm words also made Lancer start to realize that there seemed to be some problems in this matter, but——————

"Then why does she have a look of deep-seated hatred? Look, she is still glaring at me now..."

Lancer lack of self-awareness in his expression made Eirin Yagokoro want to bite down on his neck.

Why? What else could it be for?!

But just at this moment, Yukari Yakumo quietly walked to Lancer side and whispered a reminder in his ear. Immediately, Lancer brow furrowed, because according to Yukari Yakumo, the space nearby was unstable; it seemed that something powerful or a large number of things intended to pass through space to reach here.

Almost without guessing, one could know these were reinforcements from the Lunar Capital.

"Let's leave first before talking."

After saying that, Yukari Yakumo also directly opened a gap. The various youkai also left in an orderly fashion. Finally, Lancer was carried on the shoulder by Yuugi Hoshiguma and walked into the gap. It must be said this was indeed a bit embarrassing, but the other party was so "enthusiastic" that Lancer was too embarrassed to refuse.

On the contrary, Eirin Yagokoro, supported by Kaguya Houraisan, walked into the gap normally. When everyone had left, Yukari Yakumo was the last to enter and closed the gap...

After everyone retreated, led by four Lunar Capital guards, nearly a thousand Lunar Capital soldiers appeared on the ground in sequence.

When they saw the ground that was almost destroyed beyond recognition in the battle, they alertly pointed their weapons all around. While some soldiers with long ears suspected to be engineers prepared to build bunkers, they did not notice that a faint gap remained here...

——————

The gap opened by Yukari Yakumo went straight to the Fujiwara household. So when Lancer walked out, he saw at a glance the Boatman officer with guards looking around cautiously. When he saw Lancer miserable appearance, he froze for a moment, then waved his hand to signal his guards to leave.

But just as Lancer intended to ask him about Fujiwara no Mokou situation, he noticed that Yukari Yakumo, who appeared last, was frowning.

"Yukari, how is it?"

"An army holding strange weapons appeared at the place we just left..."

This confused Lancer again. At first, he thought Eirin Yagokoro was the enemy, but according to Kaguya Houraisan description, it seemed she wasn't. But now why did an army pop up?

What exactly is going on?

Lancer felt his brain circuits were not enough to use.

'As expected, thinking about problems is a hassle; it's still simplest during combat.'

But complaints aside, what needs to be done must be done. For example, getting things straight from the mouth of that person who suddenly appeared and was called "Master" by Kaguya Houraisan.

But just at this moment, Yukari Yakumo's expression became very strange again. Lancer also looked over directly. This time, without him needing to speak, Yukari Yakumo directly began to explain.

"I just heard a voice: 'Tsukuyomi, do you intend to violate the agreement of those years and meddle with this ground?' Then those soldiers left."

They just left like that?
