When I was working hard to deal with those molds, I didn't expect you to have afternoon tea here? ”

Jun Kuroda stood at the table, slightly angry.

She was already lacking in expression, but the frowning appearance at this time made Qiao Qiao feel a little cute.

"I'm sorry, sister!"

Kuroda Makoto subconsciously wanted to put down the muffin in his hand, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it immediately.

"Why don't you eat with you?"

Qiao Qiao pointed to the remaining snacks on the plate.

"You ......"

Jun Kuroda was a little speechless.

But Qiao Qiao had already asked the clerk to order a cup of black tea.

"If those molds find out that we, the people of the Divine Palace, are drinking afternoon tea here, then it will be troublesome again!"

Jun Kuroda said this, but sat down anyway.

The black tea and snacks are so fragrant.

Qiao Qiao looked at Kuroda Makoto before, and felt that the discipline in the shrine should be quite strict, and these girls might not have a chance to eat these desserts.

Jun Kuroda is probably about the same.

"Just take a sip and warm up."

Jun Kuroda didn't know if it was Qiao Qiao or said it to himself.

She picked up her teacup and took a sip of black tea.

“！”

The dull hairs on his head stood on end.

"Well, that's it, just the general taste."

Jun Kuroda put down the teacup and picked up another small cookie.

“！！”

The shape of the dull hair becomes an exclamation point.

"It's not, it's not particularly tasty."

As he spoke, he continued to hold it in his hand.

"But, however, patrolling in the afternoon requires a lot of physical strength, so you have to add some more."

I sit here drinking black tea and eating small cookies, and it makes sense.

That's probably what it means.

"It always feels like it's different from what I've seen before."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said while enjoying the muffins in Qiao Qiao's mouth.

Ten minutes later, the three of them finished their snacks and walked out of the shopping street.

The area they patrol today is an area near the Ujiyamada subway station, which is mostly residential, and the pedestrians on the road are all elderly, and there are hardly any young people in sight.

An aging city, Ise can indeed be called that.

Jun Kuroda took the lead, and they entered the subway station, and the staff understood the situation, checked the yin situation here, and made records, which felt similar to the community police in charge of strange events.

As he left the subway station, a man suddenly appeared in front of Jun Kuroda.

"Hello, I'm Aoki from the "Wakuni Weird Weekly", you should be Jun Kuroda and Makoto Kuroda of the Kuroda family, right?"

The man was about forty years old, with slightly curly hair, deep wrinkles on his face when he smiled, he was wearing a long dark trench coat and a camera in his hand.

Click, click

The Kuroda sisters may not have noticed, but Qiao Qiao could sense that when the reporter approached the two, the camera in his hand had already taken several pictures.

"Wakuni Strange Weekly? We are busy, please don't bother us. ”

Jun Kuroda didn't have a good impression of the reporter, only glanced at the other party politely, and prepared to leave.

"Fujinami Shinji actually has no reason to kill Kashiwagi Ayako, as a descendant of the Fujiba family, there is no need to use this means to seize power, and I have investigated, Fujinami Shinji and Ikeda Kyotaro have a good relationship in private, and there will be no such ...... between the two"

The reporter said in a flash, much to Kuroda's displeasure.

"These are all rumors, please leave."

She yelled.

The old people around looked at it, which made the reporter even more excited.

"Also, I know that Ise Jingu has received a threatening letter asking you to stop holding this year's New Year's Festival......"

The reporter's words made Jun Kuroda stunned.

Her eyes flickered a little, glanced at Qiao Qiao, and then left directly with Kuroda Makoto.

Qiao Qiao stopped the reporter.

Not far away, police officers from the subway station walked out, seemingly ready to chase the reporter away.

"If you have anything to tell me, you can contact this, this is my business card, I am staying in the hotel next to the subway station, and you can find me by saying my name."

The reporter handed a small piece of paper to Qiao Qiao, then left, disappearing into the corner.

"Threatening letters?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the business card, it was indeed a reporter of "Wakuni Strange Weekly", Aoki Gui.

"Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden, do you know about this?"

He asked as he followed Jun Kuroda.

"I don't know much about this, but Jingu always receives similar letters, most of them are simple pranks, and a small number of them are from youkai or humans controlled by monsters, and attacks on Jingu occasionally occur, but there are no major problems."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa replied, also a little confused.

"Kyotaro Ikeda and Shinji Fujinawa really have a really good relationship?"

Qiao Qiao put his business card in his pocket, and there were still more people around the subway station, but it was still far less than the streets of Shinjuku.

"The two of them are considered to be the same period, well, it's pure and that batch, but I was still young at the time, I can't remember clearly, there shouldn't be any major contradictions."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa also doesn't understand people's hearts very well.

She briefly talked about some of the two people.

Shinji Fujinawa and Kyotaro Ikeda have little to do in the shrine, partly because they are in different areas, and partly because of the disputes between the Fujinami family and the third force, so the younger generation of the three forces is gradually estranged.

Qiao Qiao listened as he patrolled behind the Kuroda sisters.

Despite the killings in the city, for most people, life makes no difference.

After the patrol, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Then let's go back now."

Jun Kuroda clapped his hands.

"I feel like Ise is so big."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa also followed Qiao Qiao around the patrol area today.

"It's just a small part of the city, and Ise itself is a small city."

Qiao Qiao said.

"If you go to Tokyo, you can see a bigger, more prosperous city."

"Tokyo, I really want to go to it once."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said wistfully.

Of course, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa knew that such a vision was just a longing.

As the chief shrine maiden of Ise Jingu, she will be bound to this land for the rest of her life, unable to leave.

Just like Amaterasu Daigojin hid in the Teniwa Household back then, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa was also imprisoned in the Aramatsu Palace by the rules.

Qiao Qiao did not speak.

At this time, Jun Kuroda's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, yes, I'm ...... What the? ”

Jun Kuroda's expression was a little uncertain.

She put down her phone and stopped Qiao Qiao and Kuroda Makoto, who were about to go back.

"Something happened, let's go straight to the full cafeteria."

The full cafeteria was a place they had passed by on their patrols.

"What happened?"

Qiao Qiao smelled something wrong.

"Somebody died, and it was a journalist."

Jun Kuroda said.
