Volume 14

Kuzunoha Company arrives in the Limia Kingdom to visit the hero Hibiki—expecting a warm welcome, they get anything but. The moment the shrine maiden lays eyes on their true forms, she collapses on the spot, and the palace erupts into chaos. They say she possesses the power to see through a person’s very essence… so what exactly did she see within Makoto and the others? Even stranger, Mio—normally ruthless toward anyone who disrespects her master—doesn’t reprimand the shrine maiden at all. She only offers an unsettling, enigmatic smile. And of course, this “simple greeting” was never going to end there. Beneath the surface, hidden agendas collide, schemes begin to move, and the visit to Limia becomes the spark for something far bigger.
