At dawnbreak, Komorebi and Junichi packed their things and left the Sacred Ground trials. While Junichi was focused and determined towards his goal, he was unfortunately distracted as Komorebi continuously started acting all bubbly and wandering off. "Can you please focus on the task at hand?" said an annoyed Junichi.
"I'm sorry, it's just as witches of a designated area, we barely get to go outside and explore other realms. When we finish our training under our mother, we are directly teleported to our assigned territory", said Komorebi, still running after a squirrel. Junichi just let out a small sigh and went towards Komorebi. Grabbing her by her neck, Juinichi pulled Komorebi towards him, who was a bit shocked.
Junichi then grabbed Komorebi's waist and lifted her on his back. Komorebi's face turned red out of embarrassment from Junichi's actions. Komorebi started pulling Junichi's hair and started screaming, "What the hell are you doing, you pervert!! Let me down at once!!"
Junichi side-eyed Komorebi and explained, "Since you said you barely get to go out of your territory, I guess you aren't used to this much walking, so enjoy the piggyback ride before I change my mind." Komorebi, who was still red with embarrassment, let go of Junichi's hair and grabbed his shoulders. She snuggled her head onto Junichi's back and didn't say a single word until they reached a river.
"I think this is a good point to take a break. Let's grab some fish to eat, and we can also wash ourselves.", Junichi explained as he lowered Komorebi from his back. Komorebi was still blushing from the entire incident and slowly walked towards a tree with her extra clothes without saying a word.
While Komorebi went to take a bath, Junichi was struck by an idea. "If Gensui works like I think it does, shouldn't other spells work the same?" Junichi thought to himself. As he went ankle deep into the river, Junichi spotted a small school of fish trying to swim upstream. He slowly lifted his hands upwards and aimed at the fish. Junichi closed his eyes and started to think of the moment he was impaled with a spear by the guards.
He suddenly felt a jolt of electricity running through his hands, and as he opened his eyes, he saw two spears sticking out of his palms, completely transparent and blue in colour, with a couple of fish stuck at the end. Excited by his new achievement, Junichi rushed towards Komorebi to inform her. However, Junichi was met with a strong rush of water to his face by Komorebi, who freaked out, as she was still naked and bathing.
After a while, Komorebi wrapped herself in a cloth and approached Junichi, who was sneezing and waiting for her under a tree. "What was so important, you pervert? That you couldn't wait until I was finished?" Junichi rubbed his watery nose and looked up to Komorebi, "Well…" Junichi lifted his hands and concentrated as the spears came out of his hands.
"Oh my!! That's the spell of the legendary warrior Shinsuke Takamura! The Yari spell, which is said to have been lost with the legendary warrior thousands of years ago! How did you use it?" Komorebi exclaimed in complete disbelief. Junichi explained to her that it was the same way with the Gensui spell. Komorebi's expression changed slightly, as words came out automatically from her mouth, "Could it be? No, it couldn't, that's impossible. But, then again.."
"Could it be what? Speak up, woman!!" Junichi's eyes suddenly started glittering with curiosity. Komorebi, who was still in a trance, was shaken up by Junichi's words. She walked towards Junichi, her eyes even more affectionate than before. As she placed a hand on Junichi's shoulders, he could feel a subtle trembling in her body.
Komorebi brought her mouth near Junichi's ears and asked him in an almost whisper-like voice, "Did you happen to ever come across a bright light that you could see, but never reach?" "Yeah, I did, right after I died in the human world, that is how I was brought into this world!" Junichi was even more curious, and his voice more stern with excitement.
"And did you hear a faint angelic voice while you were there?" further asked Komorebi. Junichi replied, "Yeah, I heard something like that, and it wasn't so clear, but I heard the words 'Fuck off!' before landing here." At this point, Komorebi was completely shocked, and she tripped and fell as she was backing away from Junichi.
Junichi was completely confused at this point, wondering what this was all about. After regaining her senses in a while, Komorebi shakily revealed, "That was Mother Raito's voice. You are not just a random stranger brought into this world; you are the legendary Dungeon Dueller that was prophesied 500 years ago. You have been brought into this world to liberate it from the Phantom King of the Dreaded."
