Akane Cuts Talismans

Akane was aiming at the talismans they were carrying. As long as those were gone, then even coming in first was meaningless. Right, left, right—she aimed exclusively at the talismans and swung. After that, she would offer a donation at the temple and pray that the gods would not punish her.

Her bangs moved from the breath, and then hung down again. Three kilometers away, the talismans which the four of them were carrying were reduced to confetti, raining down on the ground which was still covered with a bit of residual snowfall. While she could not hear them, she could see the four of them kicking up a fuss and making a scene.

In the end, her mother looked towards her, pointing in her direction. The four of them looked at Akane, with a look on their faces which said, “She did it!”
