The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

As Hakuto's hand grasped the Garuda Knife, a phoenix flew out from the blade of the Garuda Knife.

Subsequently, the phoenix fell back onto the blade of the Garuda Knife, and Auspicious Phoenix Patterns appeared on the blade.

However, Hakuto frowned as he held this Garuda Knife. Although the Garuda Knife had not been contaminated, it had lost most of its spirituality at this time.

To use this knife, its spirituality must be restored. Fortunately, Hakuto knew how to restore the knife's spirituality. To restore the Garuda Knife's connection, Hakuto had to find one person.

Kikyo, the Miko who had purified the Jade Dragon Pot. Having her restore the Garuda Knife's spirituality would not be a big problem.

[I have finally retrieved a complete piece of the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Unlike the Jade Dragon Cauldron, which is a set and only counts as half a piece, the Garuda Knife is a completely independent, complete Legendary Cooking Utensil. But unfortunately, the Garuda Knife has lost its spirituality. To restore it, I need to find Kikyo.]

[I don't know where she is right now. Let me call and ask first.]

Hakuto found Kikyo's phone number in his phone. Don't think that just because Kikyo is a Miko, she doesn't use a mobile phone. That's obviously impossible. In modern society, not having a mobile phone is no different from being a savage. Even if Kikyo the Miko is classical, she couldn't possibly not use a mobile phone.

Soon, the call connected. Hakuto learned from Kikyo that she had returned to her hometown, a small village. Hakuto directly had Kikyo send him a photo, then used the Anywhere Door to appear instantly in front of Kikyo.

However, it was a bit awkward. Looking at Kikyo bathing, the corner of Hakuto's mouth twitched slightly. He said to Kikyo, "If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

Kikyo glanced at Hakuto, nodded faintly, and then said, "Then please go outside first."

Hakuto immediately opened the door and walked out, also closing the door again. Before long, Kikyo walked out with her hair still slightly damp.

Then Kikyo said to Hakuto, "To restore the spirituality of a Legendary Cooking Utensil, the best place is the back mountain of the Grand Narukami Shrine. That is where the largest spiritual vein in all of Japan is located. The spring water flowing from there works best. But before that, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"No problem. What is it? There are very few things in this world that I cannot do."

"Please come with me."

After speaking, Kikyo led Hakuto to a small hillside. There was nothing else on the small hillside except green grass and a giant towering tree.

"The Era Tree!"

Upon seeing this tree, Hakuto immediately thought of the tree that sealed Inuyasha in the original work.

[I never expected Kikyo to bring me to the Era Tree. I'm a bit surprised and caught off guard. I truly sense the presence of time and space from this Era Tree. That is to say, this Era Tree might have the ability to travel through time and space. What the hell...]

[I absolutely cannot tell Sona about this matter. Otherwise, Sona might do something foolish. Although the Era Tree might allow time-space travel, leaving this world doesn't guarantee which world you'll go to. So before I have a definite grasp on it, it's better not to tell Sona about this for now. Also... the Era Tree has actually become a Spirit. Wasn't it said that no Spirits are allowed after the founding of the nation? Could it be that this Era Tree became a Spirit before the founding?]

This diary entry tugged at the hearts of many people. At the very least, Sona's heart raced rapidly at the thought of leaving this world without damaging the Nine Provinces Barrier.

But soon, Sona fell silent again. Even if she left this world, if she couldn't return to the DxD World, she might get lost in other worlds. The situation then would be even worse than now.

So Sona had no choice but to suppress her excitement.

[I need to see if I can communicate with this Era Tree. If not, then I'll have to cut it down. This Era Tree might pull demons from the past into the present. So if it can't be communicated with, for world peace, this Era Tree must be cut down.]

Sona strongly suspected that Hakuto was doing this to keep her by his side forever.

However, what Hakuto said also made some sense. So even though she was suspicious, Sona couldn't say anything.

Hakuto looked at the Era Tree before him but did not act. Instead, he asked Kikyo, "Kikyo, what do you want me to do about this tree?"

"This tree is already several hundred years old. So I suspect it may have become a demon. Therefore, I wanted to ask you how to deal with it so that it doesn't cause trouble for the residents of the nearby village."

"I see. Your question is valid. This tree has indeed become a Spirit. However, I don't know if this tree can be communicated with. If it can be communicated with, it can be kept. It might be useful."

After speaking, Hakuto stepped forward and reached out to touch the tree.

His Spiritual Will touched the tree. Then, the next moment, Hakuto felt his Spiritual Will being brought into a special space.

This was a dark space, and the only source of light was the Era Tree, which emitted a faint blue glow. The light from this faintly glowing Era Tree gradually gathered to form a person. This person was Kikyo, whom Hakuto knew well.

But Hakuto knew that this was not Kikyo. It was the Era Tree taking on Kikyo's form.

"Since you have your own will, I will give you two choices. The first is to sign a contract with me and become my possession, obeying my commands from now on."

"The other choice is for me to kill you now and make you disappear completely."

"I choose the first."

Without any hesitation, the Era Tree directly chose the first option. Then, a blue glow flew out from the Era Tree. The next moment, it transformed into a pinky ring.

Hakuto put on this pinky ring and immediately felt all the functions of the Era Tree.

The Era Tree's function was simple: to summon things that existed in the past to this era. However, what is summoned is not a real existence, but rather something like an illusion.

Moreover, the summoned entity's strength is at most only eighty percent of the original's.
