Chapter 153: The Miko of Inari and the Priest Meet in Reality(1/2)
"Senior, you won't lie to us, are you? Izumo really has gods and other worlds?"
On the plane, the small Shiroya Shiroya was still a little unbelievable, so she just stared at Haruto Takeda beside her.
Takeda Haruto told everyone everything he had experienced in his dreams. At the same time, according to some vague sense, the group of people took a plane to the boundary of Izumo City in Shishi Sakura Kunishimakei Prefecture.
"That's why I said this is a bit incredible! But I can indeed sense that there is a kind of power that attracts me in the direction of Izumo! And this power is the power of the gods, I can be sure of this!" Takeda Haruto sighed.
"Inari God? Similar to the other world during the Warring States Period of Izumo? If all this is true, then there are really many secrets in our world! No wonder so many news about gods and ghosts have appeared in our world recently."
Ishiguroki had completely believed Haruto Takeda's words. Now he was very excited, even as if he was eager to see the mysterious world.
As a homestay, Ishiguro rarely socializes after get off work or vacations. Most of the time he plays games and even reads comics at home. He always has a fantasy naiveness about superpowers, psychics, etc.
At this time, my colleague who had been with me for a long time actually developed superpowers. How could Ishiguroki not join in the fun?
"I'm still a little unbelievable. Is this reality? Why is there such a surreal development? Bastard! Even if there is a surreal development, why isn't I? How can I practice it? I'm so envious~"
Nobuo Kunira looked at Haruto Takeda with great envy.
"What do I say about this? Maybe this is life, right?" Takeda Haruto said with a smile.
"Come on, just like Guozhi, you are unreliable. Even in another world, you can't be a priest. Give up!" Momoya Hayami in the front row of the seats laughed and joked.
"Bastard, can you comfort me? Why do you still hit me!"
“Haha~”
Amidst laughter, the group of eight people spent several hours, and the plane finally arrived at Izumo Airport in Shimane Prefecture.
In August, the afternoon in Izumo City is cloudy and clear.
Compared to Tokyo, the environment here is much colder, but compared to Tokyo, the air here is many times better.
The Shimane Prefecture, which is now in the Warring States Period, was merged into a prefecture.
Izumo is still the same Izumo. The culture has not changed much, but the times and the differences in the world are just some differences.
The weather in August seemed a little hot, and a few people left the airport and took the tram to Izumo Dashe.
Izumo Daishu is one of the oldest shrines in the Sakura Kingdom in the world. Here we worship the great king and god called the "No. 1 god in the country".
Every August 14th, a festival called "Izumo Club Church Festival" is held here.
By chance, the day when Takeda Haruki came on August 13th, and tomorrow is the day of the festival.
After about half an hour of the bus, the group arrived at the Izumo Taishu platform.
Izumo Daishu is on the mountain, and the platform is at the foot of the mountain. You can go up the stone steps directly to the temple of Izumo Daishu.
“Wow, it’s so lively.”
As soon as they got off the car, several of them were attracted by the festival banners on both sides of the stone steps decorated with lights in front of them.
Going up the stone steps, the surrounding trees are covered with red colored strips.
One after another, many people are also seeing the steps above Izumo Club.
At the foot of the Izumo Daishu, there are many modern hotels and shops opposite the platform, all of which are covered by food, accommodation and transportation. The surroundings are full of festive appearance, which is very lively.
"Oh, even if Takeda Jun said something wrong, it seems that it's pretty good to come here to play!" Everyone stood there in big bags, with a look of excitement.
"It's pretty good, but this 'Church Festival' is not the most lively time here. It is said online that the biggest festival here is the 'God in the Moon' Festival in November, which is opposite to the 'God in October's Moon' Festival, and is a festival to celebrate the gathering of eight million gods here."
Momoya Hayami looked at the search content on her phone and said to everyone.
"Hey, no matter what kind of rituals it is, we don't pay attention to these things anyway, so we are not here for fun. By the way, Takeda Sang, do you feel anything after coming here? Just the inspiration from the gods you mentioned?" Kuroe Nobugo asked curiously.
"It was sensed, but it was still intermittent. The power of inspiration should be nearby, and if it was true, it should come from somewhere in the sky."
After getting off the car, Haruto Takeda kept looking at the sky, looking a little inaccurate.
"In the sky? Ishida Jun, are you really reliable? You can't fly up and look for it yourself, right?" Ishiguroki said helplessly.
"Fly? My current strength cannot fly."
"Senior? I believe you, but since I can't find it for the time being, why don't we go to the hotel to book a room first and then we go to the shrine above to see it?" Shirohara said.
"Yes, there's no hurry. It's okay to just travel. Takeda-kun, let's put down the greeting first."
"Yeah, I didn't have a good rest last night. Anyway, the place has arrived. So we can just wait for the fewer people to go to the shrine to visit. Maybe it's easy to find some clues."
Several people spoke out.
Takeda Haruto scratched his head and said with a smile, "Haha, that's right, this matter is not urgent, even if you can't find it, it won't affect anything. I'm just a little confused. Let's go, everyone will find a place to stay first."
As he said that, Takeda Haruto ignored the speechless Ishiguroki and Kante Nobugo who were behind him, and went directly to the shopping street opposite the platform with the others.
And just as Haruto Takeda and his group left the platform, three black high-end cars suddenly stopped at the platform.
In the black sedan led by the leader, a black-clothed bodyguard in the passenger seat was the first to come down.
After getting off the car, the bodyguard in black immediately came to the rear of the vehicle and opened the door.
"Miss, Izumo Club is here."
Inside the sedan chair, the girl opened her eyes slightly to take a nap.
She tidied up her hair slightly, and nodded and walked out of the car.
The girl is about 1.58 meters tall and no more than 17 years old. She is wearing a red and white witch suit, with white socks wrapped around her feet and wearing wooden clogs.
This outcrop instantly attracted the attention of many tourists around.
However, these tourists did not dare to approach, because there were more than a dozen strong black-clad bodyguards gathered around the girl.
"Is it not time? Or is it that my strength is too weak?"
Rin Hiratsuka showed a little hesitation.
As the witch who helps Shindo To in the ‘Another World’, she knows a lot of inside stories.
Although she was not the first group of witches to help, she was still the one beside the Son of God. She also knew something about the five hundred-year agreement between the gods and the Son of God.
But in that world, she thought she was reborn through time, and just remembered such a thing irrelevantly until she died.
Death of death means waking up from the dream. After waking up from the dream, she discovered her own abnormality and soon began to search for all information related to reality and mystery.
The Sakura Kingdom has been aristocratic politics since ancient times. As a Chinese clan, the Ping clan is one of the most powerful nobles except the royal family.
The power of the Hiratsuka family in Sakura Country is extraordinary. Although Rin Hiratsuka was underage and was only a high school student, she was destined to enter the political arena in the future. Therefore, even during her studies, her father often let her contact with some government-related people and affairs.
His father is now one of the cabinet ministers of Sakura Kingdom, and his brother is also a regional councillor in Tokyo. As for her?
Although she is a little younger, she has already made a marriage contract with the Genji Chronicle.
Although she was dissatisfied with the engagement, she had no choice but to be born in this family and educated since childhood.
All her food, living, and all her privileges come from the Ping family, so she has accepted her own destiny since she became aware of her.
But accepting fate does not mean that she is really obedient.
She hates politics and doesn't care about anything, but instead becomes more and more cherishing the time of her students.
I just hope that through this superficial obedience, I can study abroad in Asiatica as much as possible after graduation in order to give myself a peaceful life.
However, the god seemed to be playing a big joke with her.
Just last night, she had a dream, a very, very real dream.
In her dream, she came to a world full of monsters and monsters. In that world she was both unfortunate but also lucky.
Because just when she was about to starve to death, the god Inari from Izumo Kingdom captured the Musashi Kingdom where she was located.
At that time, she was only seven years old, she was so thin that she was even about to die.
That feeling was so helpless and painful that after being saved by the priest with divine power, she once thought she had hallucinations.
In the third year, after the gods occupied the entire Sakura Kingdom, she was lucky enough to be selected to become a noble and diligent witch.
In that world, in that era, there were many girls like her. Why was she chosen depends on her own efforts.
Just because she has the soul of another world, can read and read Scriptures, she is smarter than girls of the same age, and then she was selected by a priest in the orphanage set up by Izumo Kingdom and brought to a selection ceremony for a witch.
Then, he was favored by the Lord of God and recognized by the two Sons of God, and thus became a witch in heaven.
The status of the witch who assists in diligence is very special.
It is the most powerful and prestige class besides the Lord of God and the Son of God.
They live in a shrine in heaven, serving the gods with the Son of God, and are the ones who are closest to the gods.
As a result, during this process, Rin Hiratsuka saw the true body of Inari God more than once.
Whether it is the form of a golden fox or the appearance of a goddess, she has seen it, and has also felt the affinity of the gods and unprecedented sacredness.
In this way, she was completely fascinated by the charming god Inari and was proud of her role as a witch in helping her.
With the relationship with the son of Miji, Rhiratsuka would just recall the expression of half a smile and half a sigh.
I still remember that when I died, the two sons of the Divine God looked like.
It was a sad and numb expression.
The Son of God will not die. Perhaps only they themselves know the pain of witnessing the passing of people close to each other?
