The little bird Yuma Bow hurriedly walked to the shrine to check.

Inside the shrine, as Sousuke Araki said, there are only a few dilapidated wooden boxes.

"Mr. Araki, can you help me move those wooden boxes out?"

Sosuke Araki neatly moved out several wooden boxes.

Looking at the quaint patterns on the wooden box, the little bird Yumato seemed to see something incredible.

She reached out and rubbed it on one of the wooden boxes, and the mark of Magatama like three tadpoles appeared from the dust.

"It's ...... The imprint of Akagi Shrine. ”

She shuddered and opened the wooden box.

A bunch of quaint scrolls appeared in front of the two of them.

The little bird Yuma Bow unfolded several of the scrolls one after another, looked at them quickly, and took a deep breath in disbelief.

"It's ...... The genealogy of the Kotoriyu clan, and the "Akagi Kojiki" from Akagi Shrine. ”

"Oh, isn't that amazing?"

"Aren't these things destroyed in the fire that year, why are they hidden here......

Puzzled, the little bird Yuma opened several other boxes one after another.

One scroll after another, in the form of words and paintings, silently records the fact that the Kotori Yushi has spent his life enshrined in the shrine.

In addition to a few scrolls and ukiyo-e that record the history of the shrine, the last three chests contain a worn-out wooden bow, a rusty sword, and a necklace of nine gray magatama wrapped in flannel.

"Secret...... Goblin...... Withered...... Yo ......"

Looking at these three things, the little bird wandering witch was already panicked and incoherent.

She looked at Sosuke Araki with the eyes of a small animal asking for help.

"Calm down...... Could this be some valuable antique? ”

Sousuke Araki curiously picked up the long sword and looked at it.

The worn-out longsword, the hilt and scabbard appeared to have been wound with some kind of animal's leather, and the exposed metal was rusted.

He tried to pull it gently.

Sure enough, the knife seemed to have rusted to death and could not be pulled out.

"For Akagi Shrine and the Toriyu family, these are more precious things than antiques......"

It took a full three minutes for Yuma Tori to try to calm down.

A tear slid down her cheek, and she knelt on the grass and spoke.

"In 1842, Akagi Shrine was razed to the ground by an inexplicable fire. The three artifacts of Akagi, the Kojiki Kojiki, which records the loyalty of the Toyou clan to the shrine for generations, and the genealogy were also lost in the fire. Akagi Shrine, which flourished for a time, also began to decline from that time. ”

"Akagi Three Artifacts?"

Wiping away his tears, Yuma Kotori turned his head to look at the worn-out long knife in Sosuke Araki's hand, and the other two things on the side.

It was a longbow made from the bones of a creature, and a necklace strung with eight gray translucent magatamas.

"The demon knife July rain, the demon bow crying and the withered hook jade, collectively known as the three artifacts of Akagi. It is rumored to be the first priest of Akagi Shrine, who spent his life slaying demons and destroying demons...... It must be the gods, in the midst of the fire, guarding these things in the shrine. ”

"That's a great antique, can you take back the land after selling enough?"

Hearing what she really said, Sousuke Araki hurriedly put the long knife back in the wooden box.

He can't afford to pay for the damage of this kind of old handicraft.

"If you sell it as an antique, you shouldn't be able to buy back the land...... And the real value of these things is far greater than money...... What's more, will the gods agree to sell the artifact and buy back the land that belonged to the shrine in the first place? ”

Kotori Yumako smiled bitterly and dismissed the idea.

From these three items, she couldn't feel any divine power, presumably because it had been abandoned for many years and no one worshipped it.

Even so, these things are extremely important to Akagi Shrine, and they represent the inheritance of the Kotoriyu clan for generations.

Moreover, as long as it is carefully worshiped in front of the gods, it may be possible to regain the true brilliance of the artifact in time.

"Such a valuable thing, which has been in this warehouse for so many years and no one has found it? It's like precious old photos are hidden in the corners of a warehouse...... A leaf is blind, but I don't know the autumn. ”

For such a big-hearted witch goddess official, Sousuke Araki was also speechless.

"A leaf is blind, but I don't know the autumn...... Mr. Araki taught the lesson. ”

Silently recalling Sousuke Araki's words, Kotori Yumako nodded yes.

If it weren't for Mr. Araki, who could see through the gods, he wouldn't have been able to recover these lost artifacts until the day the shrine closed.

"Well, then you take your time to count, I'm almost late, flash first."

Glancing at the time, Sosuke Araki got up and wanted to leave.

Since others don't plan to sell, it seems that the self who helped find antiques has no chance to divide the money.

"Mr. Araki...... Thank you! ”

The girl's sincere voice came from behind him.

"Just make me a big meal next time."

With a wave of his hand, Sousuke Araki covered his slightly aching heart and left without looking back.

……

By the time Sousuke Araki arrived at the delivery station, there were already several late-shift delivery workers gathered there.

"Yo, newcomer, I heard that you are very kind, and you actually took over that difficult activity."

When he saw Sosuke Araki coming, he immediately had a delivery man with a headband tied to him joke.

"Don't mention it, although the locomotive is easy to use, the clothes are too shameful to wear, and the crotch is tight...... I knew that there was such trouble, so I wouldn't have boasted about Haikou from the stationmaster. ”

Skillfully taking the cigarette handed by the other party, Sosuke Araki complained.

"Hey, I can't regret it now, just hold on until the end of the crossover event. By the way, it's still used to running the night shift, right? ”

Another delivery person immediately repaired the knife.

"There's no one on the road late at night, you can run as much as you want, it's so cool! And there's a late-night perk, right? ”

"Beware of speeding tickets......"

"If you are speeding, you don't have to worry, every time you check whether the license plate is wrong...... Aha. ”

As if he had discovered that something had been missed, Sosuke Araki hurriedly covered it up with an embarrassed laugh.

"Whew...... These aspects of the night shift are good, but there are naturally reasons why there are fewer people willing to run...... You can't be sure if it's someone who places an order at night. ”

The old god of the delivery man with the headband said on the ground.

"It's started again, and Izumi-kun scares newcomers with a special story."

Someone on the side teased him.

"Hey, that's a real thing, it's a story, you see I'm not trying to call it a day before twelve o'clock."

Oizumi-kun immediately retorted angrily.

"Oh, has something happened to Oizumi-senpai?"

Sosuke Araki asked curiously.

"It all started when I first started running the night shift. I used to be young and frivolous, but like Araki-kun now, I was immersed in the beauty and freedom of the night shift until that day......"

"The foreshadowing is too long, please be concise to the time of a cigarette thank you!"

Sousuke Araki immediately interrupted him.

"Well, in short, it's that I got an order from a ghost."

"Huh?"
