"Okita-kun, why are you here? The area you are responsible for searching today should not be here, right?"

In order to improve the efficiency of the search, Zuo Nazi and others would discuss every night when they gathered in the trial defense hall to divide the areas that everyone would be responsible for searching tomorrow.

In other words, logically speaking, Zuo Nazi should not encounter the General Secretary.

Upon hearing Zuo Nazi's question, an unnaturally embarrassed look suddenly appeared on Souji's face.

"Hey hehehe...how should I say..."

She said slowly while reaching her right hand behind her head and playing with her ponytail.

"Miss Zuonazi, the area I'm responsible for searching today is the same as yours, it's the suburbs of Edo, right next door to you."

"In a place like the suburbs, there are grass and trees everywhere, and there is no one around. If you don't pay attention, you will not be able to find your way."

"So, I will... I will..."

Before the director finished speaking, Zuo Nazi interrupted him:

"I see."

"To put it simply - you're lost, right?"

Souji's hand playing with the ponytail suddenly accelerated, and the slender hair tail shook rapidly.

"Hey hey hey...yes..."

After saying that, as if trying to hide his embarrassment, Souji silently put down the hand that was playing with his ponytail, and then with a "grumbling" sound, he lowered his head and folded his hands in front of him.

The look the Souji made looked like a child who accidentally did something wrong and was waiting for his parents to reprimand him.

Zuo Nazi cast a helpless look at the chief executive.

"There's really nothing I can do about you...come with me, I'll take you out of here."

"Miss Zuo Nazi, do you know the way?"

"Of course I do."

Zuo Nazi said calmly, his face not red, his heart not beating.

"There is a shrine called 'Moon Palace' over there. You can return to the city by walking east along the shrine."

"Oh! That's it!"

She is indeed Miss Zuonazi! She is in such a complicated environment, but she actually knows the way. This meaning flashed in the eyes of the general manager when he looked at Zuonazi.

Zuo Nazi nodded slightly and accepted the DG's admiration with peace of mind, completely ignoring that he was also worried about losing his way not long ago...

…

…

Two beautiful figures, one tall and one petite, headed straight towards Tsukinomiya Shrine.

Both Zonazi and Souji are female swordsmen who have been trained for a long time. Both in terms of physical strength and leg strength, they are beyond the reach of others.

About 10 minutes later, the two women arrived under the torii gate successfully.

"Is this the Moon Palace Shrine..."

The general manager looked up at the tall torii gate and murmured.

Zuonazi looked around and found a stone statue of a fox standing next to the torii gate.

"It looks like this is an Inari Shrine."

Zuo Nazi said softly.

The fox is the messenger of the God Inari, so every shrine dedicated to the God Inari has a stone statue of a fox.

"Okita-kun, let's go. Next, we just need to keep walking eastward and we can return to the city."

Having said that, Zuo Nazi walked eastward without any hesitation.

She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly realized that there was no sound of Souji's footsteps behind her.

Before she could turn around to check the situation, she heard the Director-General shouting:

"Miss Zuo Nazi, wait a moment!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zuo Nazi paused and turned his head - Souji put his hands together with a smile on his face.

"Come here, let's go to the shrine to pay homage and pray for him."

Even though the General Secretary didn't say it explicitly, Zuo Nazi knew who the "him" he was referring to was.

"Worship?"

Zuo Nazi frowned nicely.

"I'm not very interested in things involving ghosts and gods."

"I don't believe in gods or Buddha either."

The general manager said immediately.

"Just think of it as a lucky move, it won't take much time anyway."

After listening to this, Zuo Nazi pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"Okay... let's go and pay homage."

"Hehe~~"

The chief executive smiled brightly.

The two girls walked side by side, passed through the torii gate, stepped on the stone steps, and climbed up.

Two high ponytails, one long and one short, swung back and forth.

Soon, the two girls passed through the last torii gate and officially entered the "divine realm" of Tsukinomiya Shrine.

"This shrine seems to be newly built. The shrine and the torii gate are all brand new."

Zuo Nazi nodded and answered:

"This is the first time I've seen a shrine without moss on the stone lanterns."

The two girls chatted one after another while walking slowly and unhurriedly towards the main hall located not far away.

Along the way, they met many witches who were either sweeping the floor or selling ritual blessings such as magic-breaking arrows and magic-breaking bows.

Suddenly, the two women walked to the front of the money box in the main hall.

"Miss Zuo Nazi, do you have any change?"

"I'll look for it."

Zuo Nazi lowered his head, reached into his arms, and searched for his money bag.

At this moment...a beautiful purple color broke into the corner of her eye.

Zuo Nazi, who was attracted by this purple color, subconsciously raised his head.

The moment she raised her head, her eyes shrank slightly in shock.

I saw a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a white-on-white miko uniform and purple on the bottom, walking out of the main hall calmly...
