.....
After I finished taking a look at the detailed status of Kiseki and Chikane.
And Kiseki have also completed the process of her bloodline awakening....
Unlike Saegusa Chikane who have not changed in appearance, Himemiya Kiseki now have a pair of fox ears above her head and a fluffy fox tails also swaying out of its way from below her skirt.
"..... Kiseki-chan.... Your ears..... And you also have a tail now...." Chikane who is flabbergasted at her best friend transformation pointed out to Kiseki with her jade finger.
"Huh? Chikane-chan? What do you-" *Kiseki flabs her fox ears unsconsciously and felt a strange, new sensation on her head*
"Wha-? Ha wa wa wa wa.... What is this?" Kiseki immediately put down the egg in her hands on to the ground and start patting the fox ears above her head and the fluffy tail on her bottom in the back.
.....
Well, this is a bit troubling....
Although in this mixed anime world, human hybrid race should not be a rare occurence.
But in Yurihana no Miko series, the presence of non-human beings aside from the protagonists and the antagonists are very minimal.
If anything, the setting of place in the series seems more like an ordinary urban setting although there is supranatural genre is mixed within.
And with Kiseki status as a highlighted scion of the Ancient Noble Himemiya Clan, if now she suddenly comes home with a pair of fox ears above her head and a fluffy fox tail swinging around on her back, wouldn't she instantly becomes the target of media?
But I quickly remember the scene in the first episode when Kiseki have just awakened her bloodline with Chikane's kiss.
In that episode, Kiseki also shows her fox ears and tail but it's only for a very brief moment.
At the end of the battle, her fox ears and tail immediately vanished like they are being pulled back inside her body.
And on the next episode, Kiseki is still appeared as a normal high school human girl.
She only transformed into a cute fox girl whenever she is in combat.
That is, only when she is utilizing her bloodline power.
Thinking like that, a solution quickly comes inside my mind.
"Kiseki-chan, calm down calm down...., how about you try to feel the new power surging in your body now?" I try to coax Kiseki and said that to her.
"Huh? My power...? Sure?" Kiseki answered me, albeit in a hesitant tone.
...
I and Chikane let Kiseki take her time to become accustomed with her newfound awakened power.
Hm, I feel a sensation like someone is looking at me from Chikane?
But when I look at her, her eyes are only focused on Kiseki.
But even then, Chikane still let out the sensation of her peeking over to me and the surrounding environment.
Ah, I see, it must be her Draconic Sense sweeping over me and the surrounding.
...
"Ah, I feel like I can control them as much as I like now." After a few moments, Kiseki quickly comes back to herself.
"Good, then try to hide your power now." I asked Kiseki again.
"Okay, I will try." -And *poof poof* Kiseki's fox ears and fluffy tail immediately vanished like the legs and head of a tortoise that hides itself inside its carapace.
"Oooohhhh~ It vanished. Let me try again." Saying something like that, Kiseki try and try again to make her fox ears and tails appeared - vanished - appeared - vanished over and over.
I guess she is just trying to get the hang of it.
Or she is just being playful and wanted to play around with her newfound power.
Oh, man.... I will just let her be for the time being....
....
Finally, after quite a few moments and Kiseki is already satisfied playing arou- uhum hum, -testing her newly awakened bloodline power, we continue our hunt.
Our hunt progressed faster than ever since now the two girls have awakened their spiritual senses skills and thus are capable of sensing the location and position of any nearby monsters in the wilderness.
Kiseki let out her fox ears and fluffy tail, she is now tirelessly running around following the pace of me and Chikane while carrying the Mystery Egg with her two hands on the side of the egg and coiling the bottom of the egg with her soft, fluffy fox tail.
So, her fluffy fox tail can be used like the third hand, too?
I have never seen that kind of scene in the Yurihana no Miko series.
Well, I guess it's natural since in that series, Kiseki have never gone to battle while carrying something like a big egg in her two hands.
Come to think about it, in Yurihana no Miko series, although Chikane are using two katanas like now, Kiseki are almost always bare handed since her fighting style is like that of the mages in classic RPG games, slinging either her fox fire or barraging her enemies with her flames.
So it's just natural that in Yurihana no Miko that have a modern day urban setting where magic should not be existed, there are no equipments or items that can increase the output power of Kiseki's magical fire.
But since we are now in the mixed world setting, there should be something like magic orb or wands that can be used to increases Kiseki firepower, right?
Yup, taking a note of that in the back of my mind, I along with the two girls continued our hunt together.
Now, not only is me and Chikane spamming our skills to effectively routed down the enemies.
Kiseki also sometimes joined in and shot a fox fire on the gap in between our attacks so that no enemies can escape unscathed.
When the sun is almost set and the skies have dyed in the orange glow, we concluded our hunting and return back to the town safely.
Looking at our status through the System Management Menu, I found out that my Power Level have increased once more from 40 to 41.
Meanwhile Kiseki's Power Level is now reaching the solid 20 and Chikane's Power Level is now at 32.

Author's Note:
Talking about tortoise, I ever have two green tortoise babies that I bought in wet market.
I don't know if it's me over-handling the tortoise with too much care and affection since it's the first time I have a pet aside from beta fishes (or fighter fishes, whatever you like to call them) and goldfishes.
Or if the tortoise already carried disease since they are being shipped in the wet market (well, you can imagine how "hygienic" that place is, also the tortoise babies I bought is from a dealer who puts them in an overcrowded box in a dim-lighted place with no healthy direct sunlight).
Two weeks after I bought them, they got sick one by one and died in the span of three days ;(
I buried them both under the longan tree in my house yard.
After that, I never buy a single pet again.
Although I still play with my neighbor's cats and dogs a whole lot, heck there is even a fluffy pussy (female cat, not the thing you imagine in your mind ;) ) that always come to my house whenever her owner is away from home.
