Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

However, they are somewhat different from monks.

Shrine maidens are actually quite rare.

So much so that Ximen Yan wanted to go back and ask Granny Feng for advice.

However, I have now heard news of a legitimate priestess.

She should be slightly better than Grandma Feng!

Ximen Yan inquired in detail about the information the villagers had about the witch.

The priestess they spoke of did indeed possess some skill.

Many monsters have already been eliminated.

And the place where that priestess is now is not far from here.

Since she is a priestess with real skills.

It's not far away.

Ximen Yan naturally decided to go and take a look.

There is a Moltres in the opposite 143.

It won't take up much of his time.

So Ximen Yan changed his route.

Send the firebird toward the village where the priestess is.

Soon, Ximen Yan arrived at a very small village.

The arrival of the Moltres.

This made the villagers feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

I was filled with fear and trepidation.

That enormous body.

In addition, there were flames burning on his body.

It's obvious at a glance that he's an extremely powerful being.

After seeing the Flamebringer behind the Firebird...

The villagers were immediately filled with fear.

After all, ordinary people can't tell the difference between a monster that has taken human form and a human.

However, in their view...

It can tame a bird-like monster whose body is engulfed in flames.

Then it's very likely that it's also a monster.

Moreover, it was an extremely powerful monster.

How could this not frighten the villagers!

However, despite this.

But then they thought of the powerful priestess who lived in their village.

Even though these villagers were afraid, they did not scatter and flee immediately.

After all, in their opinion.

Even the most powerful monster.

That priestess should be able to eliminate her too, right?

……

Amid the anticipation of many villagers.

A shrine maiden dressed in red and white shrine maiden attire emerged from the temple.

And then they looked at the priestess who came out.

Ximen Yan was clearly taken aback.

Because this priestess looks very much like Kagome Higurashi.

It's just a bit more mature.

And a priestess with such an appearance.

The only one who could be that is Kikyo, who came back from the dead.

To be honest, I encountered Kikyo.

Ximen Yan was indeed somewhat surprised.

But such an unexpected event.

Ximen Yan was quite happy to agree.

After all, Kikyo herself is very strong.

More importantly, she also possesses many of the magic spells of priestesses.

Barriers, shikigami, enchantments, purification, sealing...

Ximen Yan was extremely envious of these moves.

If only I could learn that!

It will definitely enrich his methods of dealing with enemies.

It can be said that it can comprehensively enhance his strength.

"who are you?"

"What are you doing here?"

Kikyo looked at Ximen Yan and asked.

Unlike ordinary villagers.

Kikyo immediately recognized that Simon was human.

After all, Ximen Yan did not possess any demonic aura.

Instead, it exhibited fluctuations of magical power.

"Ximen Yan, a food supplier."

"He also works part-time as a food hunter and chef."

Ximen Yan introduced himself.

Then he continued.

"Because I heard there is a witch in this village."

"And I happen to have some things I need to ask a priestess for help with."

That's why I've taken the liberty of visiting.

"However, I never expected that the shrine maiden living here would be Kikyo-san."

"This really surprised me a bit."

Kikyo's expression shifted slightly.

The gaze directed at Ximen Yan also became somewhat sharp.

After all, judging from what Ximen Yan said...

She could tell that Ximen Yan knew her.

Apart from the people in the nearby villages.

Very few people know her.

This made Kikyo wary.

If they learned about her from Inuyasha and the others.

There shouldn't be any further conflicts.

But what if Ximen Yan learned about her from Naraku?

that……

Fortunately, this possibility is relatively small.

Because she was with Ximen Yan.

I did not sense any malice.

This was just Ximen Yan's self-introduction.

Kikyo, however, did not believe it at all.

Ingredient supplier, food hunter, chef?

The first two professions are completely incomprehensible.

As for the chef, that's even more impossible.

However, regardless of who Ximen Yan is.

Kikyo didn't even intend to expose him directly.

……

"Come with me."

Kikyo headed straight for the temple where he had come from.

Ximen Yan followed suit without hesitation.

The villagers saw the two enter the temple.

They immediately took action.

The elderly, women, and children all returned to their rooms.

Young and middle-aged men, armed with various weapons, guarded the area near the temple.

Obviously, once Ximenyan and Jiegeng clashed...

These people will rush up to help.

Although these villagers still have faith in Kikyo's abilities.

But what if Kikyo can't defeat Simeon?

Perhaps they could be of some use?

Although they will likely die by then.

But these villagers still went without hesitation.

After all, these villages are all Chu.

If Kikyo Shrine Maiden didn't exist.

Their village had long been destroyed by monsters.

So they can die, but Kikyo the Shrine Maiden cannot be harmed.

Regarding the actions of the villagers inside the village and outside the temple.

Ximen Yan naturally sensed it.

These were seen

"Miss Kikyo is quite respected here!"

Ximen Yan said somewhat seriously.

After all, he had sensed the fear in the hearts of those villagers.

But even though he was afraid of him.
