Chapter 449: Celebration (Fourth Shift)
"That's a big change."
Since last night, when the villagers were sent away, Yuki Shirata has been guarding the vicinity of Shibuya Station and witnessed the crowds of people coming to the door.
The giant tree that grew overnight made Shirata Yuki's heart panic, just like the first time she saw Lake Toya when she was a child, and it wasn't until Shizushima Kiyomi arrived that she had the right to follow her into Yoyogi Shrine.
Walking into Yoyogi Park with long legs, the greatly changed shrine in front of her made Kiyomi Shijima's eyes narrow.
The more than 100-meter-high sacred tree makes it impossible to ignore its existence, and unlike the red giant sequoia with a tall trunk, the most exaggerated thing about the sacred tree is the crown, looking up at the trunk can make people feel small and humble, a large number of branches stretch out from the trunk, and the lush leaves connect a sea of trees in the air.
A few steps from the entrance of the park, you are already under the shade of trees.
"It's basically the world tree in the anime."
Yuki Shirata raised his head while walking, then raised his head, and then hunched his waist in reverse, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
It is not surprising that some elves with bows and arrows suddenly flew out of such a tall tree.
Ito Mashi is sitting in front of the sacred tree in the distance, with his eyes closed and a solemn expression.,If you put on any more mysterious BGM.,Komatsu Miyu will have to come over to learn from the teacher.。
"Please stop." A half-race soldier who Kiyomi Frost Island didn't know blocked the road, "You're the Frost Island Police Chief of the Occult Department, right?" In front of her, Ito shrine maidens were praying and were not to be disturbed by outsiders. ”
Judging from the other party's fluent Japanese, it is a mixed-race child who should have stayed in the island country for a short time, and civil servants who can speak Chinese are very popular in Ameirika now.
"Yes." Kiyomi Shijima nodded with complicated eyes, Ito Mashi was just a small supporting role who was called to the Ministry of Public Security to identify Minister Yuriwa, but he didn't see him for a while but became a character standing in the center of the stage.
I'm afraid that when this generation of Yogi giant trees really transforms into a divine tree, it is estimated that the title will change from a shrine maiden to a goddess.
However, she has also gone from being a small class member with outstanding grades at most to a bureaucrat in the Occult Hall, and the chaotic opportunity is the promotion capital of small people like them.
Mayo Ito, who had been promoted to the top of the island country, was not in a good situation, her eyelids twitched up and down, and her body trembled slightly.
Not frightened by last night's horror, but hungry.
Isn't fasting emphasized when holding any grand ceremony, for the sake of the sacred tree for three days, and now it should be two days after the evil erosion, Ito Mashi devoutly decided to fast.
Not only should you sit upright like this, but you should not eat, but only drink water.
Otherwise, it is not enough to highlight the sense of ritual, and without a sense of ritual, there is no power.
'How did I get the brains to come up with this idea?!' ’
'It's not okay to regret it now, it's definitely not okay.' ’
If it was placed in a place that everyone couldn't see, Ito Mashi would probably give up this fasting behavior that was decided by slapping his head on the thigh, but now everyone is watching, making her regret her actions, how can it be, absolutely not, it's a shame.
Ito Mashi's 'cultivation' kung fu is first-class, no matter how upside down his heart is, his face is full of ancient wells.
"Ito-sama, your water."
Just as Ito was thinking irreverently, a girl dressed in the same red and white witch costume walked over with a bowl of water in her hands.
When she arrived in front of Ito Mashi, she first knelt down, and then respectfully bent down and pushed the water in front of Ito Masa.
This action is full of ritual, that is, in the absence of an extraordinary past, people can give birth to the illusion that there are gods in the world.
Here it is, here comes the water of life.
Mayo Ito's life was all hanging by water.
"Boom."
Mashi Ito suppressed the hunger in his stomach, picked up the bowl and drank it elegantly.
Ah, it's worthy of Ito Mase-sama, who can maintain his body by drinking water, is this the horror of supernatural existence?!
The shrine maiden next to her was stunned, full of curiosity about the mystery.
She's about the same age as Mayo Ito, but unlike the working witches who earn pocket money, she's from a high-ranking family.
There is no shortage of money, figure, appearance, and family background, and that's it, and it was only after thousands of choices that he was sent to assist Ito Mashi.
Especially with a face, there is no problem in being a star, and the boys who pursued him in junior high school were ...... Because the family background is too high, few boys dare to confess.
Nominally, the school in Minato Ward is only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, isn't it just to study to get into a good university?
With this glorious resume at Meiji Jingu, universities around the world will open their doors to her.
But she doesn't have much utilitarianism in her heart, but she really longs for the supernatural, wants to get close to the supernatural, and become the spokesperson of the sacred tree like Ito Mase.
No, it's not extravagant to be an advocate, it's better to have a supernatural servant.
There are several girls like her who are so chosen, and there are even the children of the blonde and blue-eyed Amei Lika officials.
Well, that Amei Rika shrine maiden has converted from a very good Protestant to Shintoism and became a shrine maiden of Meiji Jingu, which is a first-class good thing.
What kind of strange religion does our Shinto religion work for?
After drinking all the water, Ito's dead eyes lit up a little life.
Kind of saved.
But I'm still hungry, I'm still hungry, I want to eat bread, I want to eat Shingen cakes, I want to eat oden, I want to eat......
Enduring his hunger, Ito Mashi bowed his head and said, "Go down." ”
Her stomach was dripping blood.
"Hmm."
The little attendant maiden nodded, picked up the empty bowl with both hands, and looked at the sacred tree reluctantly.
The towering appearance of Lord Divine Tree was so majestic that it made the attendant blush.
Shrine maidens like them are women who are married to the gods, and I wonder when the goddess will be able to respond to the 'love' of these maidens.
Under the gaze of the giant tree, you can see the various arrangements and undercurrents of Shibuya.
………………
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and from the first rays of sunset at sunset, all the security forces in Shibuya City were in a state of readiness.
Shibuya and Shinjuku have become no man's land.
Adachi Ward.
The police force in Adachi Ward has completely returned to its previous normal level, and the destroyed police station has been re-established and the police force is deployed normally, and now the Metropolitan Police Department has other staffing arrangements.
But the campaign-style police sweep left a lot of property in Adachi, the density of surveillance cameras increased dramatically, and all community organizations disappeared.
Even the legally operated pachinko also suffered a catastrophe, all the slot machines were taken away, the store was forced to close, and other loan sharks under the banner of finance were knocked out.
It is too late for the associations in other districts to protect themselves, let alone occupy the blank market.
Tonight's Adachi district was as quiet as ever.
"Celebrate Shibuya being destroyed tonight!"
"Woohoo!"
"Celebrate the disappearance of the loan sharks we owe!"
"Woohoo!"
Two drunks, a specialty of Shitamachi, have liquor in their hands and fall crookedly on the side of the road.
They don't understand the big truth or anything.
But as long as he sees the destruction of those things that are high up and out of his reach, the drunkard's heart will rejoice and rejoice.
"Did you see it...... Something? ”
"What ......"
"You see, that cloud in the sky doesn't look like a monster."
"Aha."
