"Then please come here after cleaning your hands."

Silently following the instructions of the old priest, he walked to the side to wash his hands, and after washing his hands, Emiya Shirou walked into the interior of the shrine under the guidance of the old priest.

"Our Ise Jingu is composed of the Inner Palace Imperial Shrine and the Outer Shrine Toyosu Shrine, the Inner Shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu Okami, and the Outer Shrine is dedicated to Toyosu Okami. In addition, there are other palaces, regency societies, end societies, and other even community palaces, with a total of one hundred and twenty-five shrines, and I think it is impossible for you to know these things as a priest, and I just say it routinely. Let's just think it's an old problem back then. Don't be offended. ”

"No, it doesn't matter. It's like if I see a price reduction in the wet market, I'll rush to buy it, and that's what the old habit is. ”

"Huh? Brother, do you let Yaxing buy vegetables to cook? What a rarity! I remember the old bones, I seem to have used to cook and cook back then, and the current rank priests rarely do this kind of thing!"

"Well, I just can't change my old habits. By the way, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to eat the meal cooked by His Excellency the Chief Priest that day?"

"Hehe, if you are interested, when the old bones deal with the matter of rewarding the gods, I will cook it for you in person, but the premise is that you are not afraid of digesting ** after eating, and you need to be sent to the hospital by ambulance to go to the emergency department."

After passing through the golden and splendid hall, and walking through the heavy palace gates, along the way, the palace Shirou and the old priest were talking and laughing.

Although there was still a feeling of not being angry and arrogant in the old priest's body when they first met, this feeling has disappeared since Emiya Shirou talked to him.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe he would be kept in the dark and didn't know anything, but Emiya Shirou was in his heart, and this old priest was also the same kind of person as him!

The reason why he put on a feeling of not being angry and arrogant at the beginning of the meeting was because the old priest did not regard him as his own person who could be trusted at that time. Since he is not his own person, then of course he is doing business, so he also puts on a strict appearance.

However, since the talk, I don't know if it's because Emiya Shirou can't disguise his divine purity so he really regards him as a priest at Kifune Shrine, or because he feels like a deed when he talks, he treats him as a confidant, in short, now the old priest is probably completely looking at Emiya Shirou as his own.

Externally, he is not harsh, not angry and self-imposing, but he talks and laughs when he is internal, without any frame, and at the same time gives full play to the two personalities of rigor and humor, and it is this relaxed attitude that can make people get close unconsciously.

Even though the identities of the two are very different, it does not prevent Gong Shilang from respecting the old priest!

"Well, go through this corridor again, and then walk a few steps to the inner palace."

After walking one after another, passing through one hall after another, the old priest pointed to a particularly brilliant hall in front of him, and signaled that the palace Shirou was almost there.

To be honest, at first glance Ise Jingu is just one of many shrines, but as the main shrine dedicated to Amaterasu, it really isn't built! On the premise of ignoring the scenery inside the shrine and never stopping for even a second on the way, Emiya Shirou only walked to the vicinity of the inner shrine more than ten minutes after entering the gate of Ise Jingu, and he didn't even officially enter it.

Even the Ryoyi family, which is famous for its real estate (and **), is nowhere near as grand as Ise Jingu

If you really want to visit as a tourist, I'm afraid you won't be able to go around this one hundred and twenty-five society in one day, right?

"Well, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to enter at this time. But since you have been ordered by the dragon god, brother, then it's another matter. Fortunately, brother, you are also a rank priest, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bring you in privately like this, old man. ”

"Oh? But according to my memory, it seems that ordinary people can also enter the inner palace, right? Why"

"You don't know about this old brother." He smiled a little, and the old priest stroked his long beard, "Although the shrine is generally open to everyone, if there is a heavy festival, in order to maintain the aura of the inner palace, generally even the priests of the pure rank can only enter when they really have something to do, and as for people of other classes, if they don't encounter particularly important things, they can't enter lightly even with the approval of the pure rank priest." ”

"I see, then this sacrifice to the gods is a festival of heavy dà."

"It's a once-in-a-millennium! It's been a long time since Amaterasu has personally performed a miracle, and now that Amaterasu-sama has returned, of course we should celebrate. It just so happened that some magician from the West always wanted to ask us for spiritual land, and when the Great Mijin gave them a heavenly curse another day, they would know that it was powerful?!!!!

The old priest's voice froze in the middle of speaking, and at the same time, even Emiya Shirou's eyes widened, and his pupils were full of surprise.

The reason why the two were surprised came from a girl in a white kimono in front of them

The kimono on his body is based on white, but a bright cloud of fire is embroidered on each sleeve. The snow-white skin is like white jade, but it is so tender that it seems to be blown and broken. The dazzling silver hair was slightly tied up, pouring down like a waterfall on the back of his head. The beauty of the delicate nose and the cherry lips girl even beyond the pen and ink can be described, that is, it is well-deserved to say that the country and the city are deserved.

At this moment, as if sensing that Emiya Shirou and the others had entered, the girl gently jumped down from the top of the statue of Amaterasu. At the moment when the girl left the top of the statue, a gust of wind blew inexplicably, slowly carrying the girl down, but did not lift her clothes in the slightest, just like a fairy above the nine heavens descending to the mortal world.

Looking at the girl's flower-like appearance, Emiya Shirou unconsciously trance, it was from the other party's beauty. But on the other hand, the old priest next to him not only had a look of surprise on his face, but also showed a frightened expression on his face!

"Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven!!!!"

As if he had seen a prehistoric dinosaur, the old priest stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed obliquely at the girl in front of him, with words in his mouth, but he could not always say the words that were formed. Then, just when Emiya Shirou and the girl didn't have time to react, the old priest suddenly rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth and fainted, leaving only Emiya Shirou and the girl with black lines on their heads stunned and didn't know what to react to
