On the way back to Shimogamo Shrine, Asako Asano was silent.

It's too strong.

She could only use such words to describe the scene she saw today.

Even if I have seen similar scenes in the movie, the way Shinki Maki handled them was too professional.

Can just three weeks make a difference of this magnitude?

This is even more powerful than the [beep-] in the comics!

Asano Riko thought.

Seeing the shrine maidens of Shimogamo Shrine today, Ariko Asano felt that she didn't have to worry about killing spirits and performing martial arts at all.

She should be more worried about Hieiyama.

The buildings there must be completely abandoned, right?

Especially seeing that thing.

It's the weapon of the final battle.

Completely beyond the common sense of Asako Asano.

The other side.

Suzuka was not silent.

In the taxi back to you.

Suzuka kept curled up, holding her head, her eyes blank.

"The Soul Killer is terrible, the Soul Killer is terrible, the Soul Killer is terrible......"

I guess I was brought back some not-so-good memories.

Picking up her phone, Ariko Asano saw the discussion about tonight's spirit removal in the Line group that she had added earlier about the discussion of the Removal of Spirits.

Tonight's appearance is Yasaka Shrine, as the shrine of the main priest Suzhan Mingzun, the shrine maiden of Yasaka Shrine has the name of "Sword Shrine Maiden", and it is naturally a very popular shrine.

It was completely different from some of the previous small shrine appearances, and the scene was crowded, and there was even a support team holding banners.

It seems that due to the arrangement, today's Lingling performance was postponed for half an hour, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience at all.

As you can see from the photos of the Line group, the shrine maidens of Yasaka Shrine are holding sword bells and conjuring up ten-fist sword shadows to kill simulated resentful spirits.

The shrine maidens' clothes are not traditional white clothes and scarlet hakama, but red and white armor with the armor of ancient samurai.

In addition to swords, there are also those who use naginatas and longbows, as if they are warriors who came out of period dramas.

Due to this year's special source of resentment setting, even Fushimi Inari Taisha lost out, and although it also got a score of 72.3 in the end, this score was too dismal for a shrine that could have hit the top of the list.

This is also the bad luck of the lottery.

After learning that there would be a meme-like source of resentment, several subsequent shrines performed well, such as Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, where Saori Iguchi is located, appeared on the sixth day and became the first shrine to eliminate all sources of resentment.

Although it took nearly 50 minutes, it still got a high score of 81.6.

At present, the highest score should be Ishishimizu Hachimangu Shrine, 82.1 points, after all, it is the shrine that guards Kyoto's "Satoki Gate", and one of the three major Hachimangu Shrines in Japan, and the worship of Hachiman God has been regarded as the god of war since ancient times, and it is only natural that he has a powerful spirit removal technique.

However, tonight's Yasaka Shrine also seems to have done targeted training.

The source of resentment revealed through the sound was easily broken, and it took less than thirty minutes to settle the battle.

In the end, Yasaka Shrine scored 85.0 points and managed to take the first place.

“？”

The Asano shrine maiden took a bath, returned to the room in a plain yukata, and was stunned when she picked up her phone and saw the result.

It's not because of the score of Yasaka Shrine.,It's a live photo posted in the Line group.,I happened to see the shrine maidens of Qiao Bridge and Shimogamo Shrine sitting quietly in the corner.。

Qiao Qiao was holding a notebook to record something, while the witches were sitting upright one by one, with their hands on their knees, their whole bodies straight, looking at the screen very intently.

Since the photo didn't shoot them specifically, Asano Riko can only see a corner of it.

Well, how to put it.

Although Shinki Shinki and the others did wear shrine maiden costumes.

But that look doesn't look like a shrine maiden, does it?

Rather like some kind of hunter?

Asako Asano doesn't know very well.

She watched the video on the Internet for a while, and chased the new ones she had accumulated in the past two days, and she didn't get ready to go to bed until it was close to eleven o'clock.

Buzz –

Suddenly, the phone vibrated again.

It is Line of Joe Bridge.

"Teacher?"

Ariko Asano immediately got up and unlocked her phone.

[Qiao Qiao]: It's hard work today, let's rest early.

【Ariko ☆ Kira】: Uh-huh, the teacher also rests early!

After thinking about it, Asako Asano still didn't say anything about today's photo.

But Qiao Qiao sent out another picture.

After loading, Asako Asano realized that it was the starry sky on the mountain.

Although there are no stars in sight due to the quality of the mobile phone shooting, this photo still shows a bit of the vastness of the universe.

[Qiao Qiao]: The summer triangle that I said before, but I don't seem to be able to see it clearly, but through these three stars, as well as the Milky Way, you can tell the direction.

When Asako Asano saw Qiao Qiaoqiao's information, a light smile appeared on her face.

......

August 13th.

The Gion Festival for ordinary people has ended at the end of July, and the thirty-three Yamahoko and the three shrines have returned to Yasaka Shrine along the same path.

Today is the first day of Obon.

Obon is also known as the Midyear Festival, and of course, there is a more popular name in China that is "Ghost Festival".

Legend has it that during the festival, the spirits of the ancestors will return home to spend time with those who are still alive.

The thirteenth day is the welcome of the dead.

From the perspective of the soul eliminator, Obon is also the time when the yin energy is at its peak and the spirits are most active.

Even man-made sources of resentment and simulated resentment spirits seem to be much stronger.

Therefore, it can be said that it is very unfortunate to be selected to carry out the spirit removal exercise in the past few days.

In the evening, lanterns have been lit up in the streets, and houses are lit up.

For a time, Kyoto was shrouded in candlelight, refracted by the sun in the hot and dry heat, hazy and dreamy.

Mt. Hiei.

Asako Asano sat in the front row, a little nervous.

Suzuka played mobile games with ease.

"Will there be any metaphysical bonuses to draw cards here?"

He also muttered to himself, and drew a ten-shot.

Crashed as a matter of course.

"Why hasn't the teacher come yet?"

Riko Asano looked around.

Shimogamo Shrine has had a lot more spectators this year due to last year's fiasco.

Maybe I want to see how bad this year can be compared to last year.

Even the handicap of Takashi Arai is directly set to whether the lower duck shrine can complete a spirit removal within an hour.

Ariko Asano discovers that the Iguchi Saori witch of Tenmangu seems to be there.

Unexpectedly tonight, many people are paying attention to Mt. Hiei.

When there were still ten minutes left before the check-in time, Ariko Asano finally saw Qiao Qiao's figure.

He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and behind him were shrine maidens dressed in red and white shrine maiden costumes and carrying army-green camouflage backpacks.

“？”

How do you feel that their clothes are a little bloated?

It's like, what are you wearing under that dress?
