The Ultimate Shrine Maiden Battle

Huh? That's weird. This isn't Iruma Block...

It's some weird place filled with a divine aura.

...Welcome, Izumo-no-Okuni, shrine maiden of the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

You're Lady Himiko, shrine maiden of the Yayoi period.

Thank you so much for your help with my sealing Bounded Field the other day.

So what are you doing here?

Today, I've come to teach you what it truly means to be a shrine maiden...

...by standing before you as an enemy.

And don't think this has anything to do with the offer of canned Restoration Clams I received, because it absolutely doesn't!

Whoa, really!? I can't believe I'm going to get to learn from Lady Himiko, progenitor of all Japan's shrine maidens...

If only the other Izumo shrine maidens could see me now.

Anyway, that whole bit about clams aside, I'd be honored to learn from you.

Now then...

Wake up, Zanzaburo! It's showti

Wait! For this battle, I forbid you to make use of that god husk!

Ma!?

B-but why?

Oh, don't get me wrong, the magecraft you use to control that god husk with your ceremonial kagura dance is magnificent.

It is far more advanced and intricate than it looks, and you are to be commended for that.

But you've relied on it so much that your own skills have suffered.

Which is why I'm going to train you all over again, starting with the fundamentals!

O-oh. I see.

All that aside, I guess this means you really are made from the husk of a god then, Zanzaburo.

Fiiiaaa...

All right, what should I do then?

Why, try to punch me, of course.

Punch you? As in, with my fists?

Yes. With your fists.

...Um, Lord Fujimaru? What in the world is Lady Himiko up to?

？！
