"This is not an ordinary key ring," the grandfather corrected his granddaughter's questioning very dissatisfied, "You see, this bead hanging below is called the Jade of the Four Souls, and it is the ...... of our shrine."

Before Grandpa could finish speaking, a rustling of the keyring interrupted him, and Kagome didn't seem to be listening to Grandpa's words at all, but used the keyring in his hand to tease the fat cat called Chubby.

"Uh-huh~" Fake cough, grandpa continued to explain to his granddaughter very seriously, "Listen, Kagome, the origin of the Jade of the Four Souls that has been passed down from generation to generation at our Sunset Shrine ......"

Puff~

Still didn't give grandpa a chance to speak at length, was teased by Kagome with a key ring, barely supported his chubby body, and Chubby, who wanted to grab the key ring in Kagome's hand, fell over on the tatami mat with a pop because of the loss of balance.

And it was at this moment that Kagome seemed to remember something and happily asked her grandfather.

"Ah, by the way, grandpa, do you remember what day tomorrow is?"

With a long sigh, Grandpa also put away his helpless expression and smiled proudly.

"Hey, how could I forget my granddaughter's birthday~"

"Really?!" Hearing Grandpa's answer, Kagome, who was greatly delighted, eagerly asked, "So, what is my gift?" ”

"Hehe, that's it."

While replying, Grandpa took out a cardboard box from behind him with a smug face and pushed it towards the excited Kagome.

Seeing this carton, Kagome, who was very happy, immediately reached out to open the carton and took out the ...... placed in the carton An air-dried paw?

Looking at the paws of the dried forelimbs of the reptile, Kagome sighed deeply.

Really, I shouldn't have expected anything from my grandfather's gift......

However, the grandfather, who didn't seem to notice his granddaughter's strange look, still explained proudly.

"This is the hand of a kappa who can attract happiness, and it has a great history......

It didn't seem to have listened to his grandfather's explanation at all, Kagome handed the "kappa hand" in his hand to the fat cat beside him expressionlessly, and commanded coldly.

"Chubby, eat it."

As if to understand Kagome's words, the fat cat named Chubby "Ahh

"Oh damn it, don't waste it......"

Watching the yelling and standing up to chase Chubby's grandfather, Kagome sighed deeply again.

I really shouldn't have expected anything, myself......

Early the next morning.

"Kagome," Kagome's mother, wearing an apron, held the phone in the hallway of Sunset's house and called Kagome to come and answer the phone, "your friend's number." ”

"Ah, here," Kagome, who was about to put on her schoolbag when she heard her mother's voice, picked up the schoolbag on the sofa and ran out of the living room quickly, taking the phone from her mother's hand, "Hey, it's Eri, eh, the notebook for preview?" Well, I know, I'll bring it, no problem. ”

After putting down the phone, Kagome picked up her school bag, walked to the hallway, put on her shoes, and waved her hand as she opened the door and trotted out.

"I'm going to class~!"

Running all the way through the open space in front of her shrine, and just as she ran past the ancestral hall, she couldn't help but stop in surprise, turned around and looked at her younger brother Kusata, who was standing outside the door of the ancestral hall alone, and asked suspiciously.

"Huh, Kusata?"

Hearing Kagome's voice, the boy with the bag turned around and looked embarrassed.

"Sister......

"Didn't you say you couldn't play in the ancestral hall?" As she walked over, Kagome asked suspiciously.

Cao Tai turned around, looked at the dark ancestral hall, and muttered quietly.

"But, Chubby, it'......"

"Did you run into the ancient well?"

Seeing Kusata's appearance, Kagome, who already roughly knew what was wrong, took off the schoolbag she was carrying, leaned against the door of the ancestral hall, walked to Kusata's side, leaned over, looked at the ancient wooden well hidden in the darkness and sealed, and smiled and said.

"Then let's go down and find it."

"But it feels horrible down here......"

"What are you afraid of, you're still a boy."

Just as the sister and brother were talking, there was a strange noise from the side of the abrupt, dark ancient well.

Gurrah.

"Ahh Startled, Caotai immediately jumped behind her sister, and poked her head out in fear to look at the ancient well in the darkness, "Okay, there seems to be something." ”

"Isn't it just Chubby."

Retorting helplessly, Kagome also stood up and walked down the wooden steps to the bottom of the ancient well.

However, no sooner had she stepped down the wooden steps than the strange noise began to sound again.

Gura ...... Gura ......

This time, however, Kagome could clearly hear that the unusual noise was coming from an ancient wooden well that had been sealed......

Although she didn't know what caused the noise, Kagome knew that it was absolutely impossible for Chubby to run into the sealed ancient well.

Suddenly, something touched Kagome's calf.

"Woo!"

Kagome, who was startled, subconsciously screamed and looked to her feet, and the grass on the wooden steps was also frightened by her sister's scream.

Chubby, a round fat cat, was flatteringly rubbing her body against Kagome's calf.

"Whew......" Kagome, who was really relieved, leaned down and hugged Chubby, staring at this innocent fat cat with some helplessness.

"Ah, I'm scared to death," after seeing that it was Chubby, the grass Tai who sat on the ground was also greatly relieved, and complained to Kagome at the bottom of the wooden steps, "Sister, don't scream so loudly~!" ”

"You!" Hearing her brother's complaint, Kagome suddenly turned around angrily and shouted, "I'm going to come down to find Chubby for you!" ”

Boom!

However, it was when both Kagome and the grass siblings were relieved that the mouth of the abrupt, sealed ancient wooden well shattered.

Countless white hairs as if they were alive burst through the planks at the mouth of the well, dragging Kagome, who had no time to react, and dragging her into the ancient well......

Five hundred years ago, in 1567 A.D., the tenth year of Yongroku, the Warring States period.

Cloud atrium, hot spring village.

At the table in the living room, Shang Yang sat next to him, holding a brush in his right hand, and was writing something on rice paper, however, at this moment, a strange premonition couldn't help but make Shang Yang stop the movements in his hand, and the original flowing pen suddenly stopped on the rice paper, and the inky black ink seeped out from the pen, leaving a cloud of ink on the light white rice paper in an instant.

However, looking at this piece of rice paper with ink stains, Shang Yang didn't care, just gently put down the brush and casually put away the badly written rice paper.

It's time.
