The shrine was already crowded with people at this time. At the bottom of the staircase, four large red stone pillars support the gate, followed by a stone staircase that is hundreds of steps long leading to the shrine compound.

At night, from the bottom to the top, it is connected by a long red rope and extends all the way, and white retro paper candles fall on it, and one is placed at a distance of two meters, which is like a guiding light in the dark night, leading to the inside of the shrine.

As soon as a few people arrived at the shrine, a young onmyoji who had been waiting here for a long time led a few people towards the inner courtyard.

Passing by the front yard of the shrine, this is a place for ordinary people to worship, there is a large donation box at the door, and several thick hemp ropes are hung on the beams, and copper bells are tied to the hemp ropes.

At this moment, there are many people who can't wait to start worshipping, throwing coins into the donation box, shaking the rope and ringing the brass bell, and then clasping their hands together to make a sincere wish.

One after another, such people never stopped.

Not far away, there are all kinds of small vendors, some of which provide warm rice wine to warm up for worshippers, while others offer all kinds of delicious snacks, and there are long queues everywhere.

"There is still half an hour until twelve o'clock, and the shrine maiden has already prepared tea and snacks in the rest room, so please come with me." The young onmyoji who led the way smiled gently, and said respectfully to the eldest lady Weiyang.

The eldest lady Weiyang didn't look surprised, nodded and asked casually, "What's the matter, is Sha Ji still so busy this year?" ”

"Well, there are more guests this year than last year, and many people from the Cabinet, the Secret Service, the Inquisition, and the Extraordinary Ability Association have also visited overnight." Onmyoji showed a slight apology, and there was a hint of helplessness with exhaustion.

When she heard the secret service, the eldest lady Weiyang's face became less good-looking, and she sneered: "Those wrecks from the Ninth Secret Service are also here?" Hmph, I've obviously been taught a hard lesson by Sha Ji, what a bunch of cheeky lackeys!! ”

Sakura, who was standing silently behind her, asked with confusion.

"Can you tell me about the Ninth Division?"

Sakura had already learned about the word from China, but she still didn't know much about it.

Onmyoji looked at Sakura with a little curiosity in his eyes. Because Sakura's photo of the shrine maiden was shown to him, and he personally ordered that he must not be lazy, he naturally would not disobey the solemn explanation of the shrine maiden, but for the first time in addition to the eldest lady of the Fenghua courtyard in front of him, the shrine maiden seemed to attach so much importance to it.

"This is Miss Katase, right? Miko-sama has explained that the things you want have been prepared for you, and I will take you to pick them up later. Sakura's expression remained calm and unchanged, and she just nodded, but looking at the look of satisfaction in her eyes still made Onmyoji smile.

"As for the secret service, they are an organization that has been officially recognized by the RB as an alien management organization, and they are responsible for the intelligence, transfer, and handling of some conflict incidents of the RB ability, and they will also purge some lawless aliens."

Sakura was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be even more confused.

"Wait, isn't there an Anomalies Guild? So, isn't there a conflict of responsibilities between the two? ”

Onmyoji smiled and shook his head.

"The Abnormal Association is more similar to the kind of non-governmental self-formed organization, and the Abnormal Association is also a kind of seemingly commercial organization, mainly based on the exchange of materials and information in the dark world, and it does not have much binding force on the Abnormal Ability."

"Isn't the Secret Service very powerful?" Sakura asked, a little amused.

"Phew! It's just a bunch of wall grass! ”

Sakura turned around, only to see the eldest lady holding her chest full of contemptuous sneer.

"Full of officialdom, but a bunch of useless wretched! It's okay to bully those who have idle ability without a background, but in the face of those whose fists are harder than themselves, they immediately changed from jackals to mourning dogs wagging their tails and begging! ”

It seems that the impression of this organization is very bad, and the eldest lady Weiyang said this with disgust in her eyes.

I don't know where Weiyang's disgust comes from, Sakura quipped with a smile.

"Why, have you suffered at their hands?"

The eldest lady Weiyang suddenly looked at Sakura with a disgusting expression as if swallowing a fly, and said coldly: "Before Weiyu was attacked by a foreign mercenary group, those guys were unwilling to provide me with information!" It's really ridiculous, and it slowly becomes honest after being beaten and obeyed. ”

"Eh, me?" Hearing the two talk about her, Wei Yu looked at Sakura and her sister with curiosity.

Sakura glanced at Wei Yu lightly, frowned and thought about it, and said some of her guesses.

"Speaking of that incident, although it was because I took the ghost king jade that Weiyu girl was attacked, but that thing was taken from a guy wearing a mask, and I suspect that the guy deliberately leaked the information and wanted to cause trouble."

Concerning his sister, Weiyang's expression became solemn, and the posture that seemed to be heroic was displayed again, and it seemed that the momentum had become different, with a terrifying chill in the sneer.

"It turned out to be that guy!"

Wei Yu held her sister's hand tightly as if comforting, and gently shook her head to indicate that it was okay. His face softened a little, and he gently patted the back of Wei Yu's hand, and Wei Yang said with a cold snort.

"Hmph, I'm definitely not going to let that guy have a good time!"

Having said that, Weiyang, who frowned, thought that the whereabouts of that guy were uncertain and not so easy to start.

As they walked, they chatted to the rest room, which was divided into several pieces by tatami mats, and everyone sat around the table on the mats, on which snacks and tea had been arranged, and the tea looked like it had just been brewed, still hot and fragrant.

Outside the fireworks began to bloom, and the lively and noisy atmosphere never stopped.

Sachiko and Hoshino seemed to find it difficult to fit into the topic of Sakura and Lady Miyang, and they were not as attractive as the colorful fireworks outside, sitting at the door of the rest room with teacups and snacks, whispering some whispers to enjoy the fireworks.

Wei Yu looked a little sleepy, and dozed off with Sakura's arm affectionately, which suddenly attracted jealousy and slightly sour dissatisfaction from the eldest lady opposite.

Sakura had to distract the other party with a topic of haha.

"By the way, why don't the Secret Service guys help you? As a wealthy family of RB, they shouldn't be on the side of outsiders no matter what they say! ”

It's not exactly to divert the topic, but I do feel weird about this Sakura.

And saying this, the chill and anger in the eyes of the eldest lady Weiyang skyrocketed a little, and the teacup that was originally brought to her mouth was put down by her again, and it seemed that she was not even in the mood to drink tea.

"That's why I say they're a bunch of wretched, arrogant, and visionless things!"

Sakura chuckled and didn't speak, unlike the eldest lady, it didn't affect her appetite at all, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake on the table and put it in her mouth, waiting for the other party to follow.

"Our big families are like feudal officials who have escaped from the control of the central government, and have their own dark world forces, and their guys can't control us at all, and over time, they will naturally worry about the sky!"

Sakura showed an interested expression, quickly swallowed the osmanthus cake in her mouth, stared at the eldest lady and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, do those guys have any very powerful characters in their organization, and even your family dares to make up their minds?"

Got an idea? As if she had heard the funniest joke, the eldest lady laughed breathlessly and covered her waist. In Sakura's inexplicable look, she waved her hand as if she vetoed, and then explained.

"Heheha! Those guys won't have that much courage, at most they will give us some small stumbling blocks, the title of Fenghuayuan is not called in vain! Wiping the tears that welled up from the corners of her eyes because of the ridicule, the eldest lady Weiyang continued: "If you want to talk about a powerful person, there is barely one, an A-level earth elemental master. ”

Sakura became a little interested in these ability levels in the dark world.

"A-grade? How strong is it, and how strong is it compared to your friend Miko? ”

The eldest lady Weiyang glared at Sakura strangely, as if she was surprised that she didn't even understand such a common-sense question.

She sighed and said: "There is no comparison at all, with the strength of Sha Ji, even in the whole country, I can't find a few, she is the strongest - S-class!" ”

It turns out that this world also has a division of power, Sakura blinked her big eyes, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and asked curiously.

"Then what do you think, according to the power system of this world, what level do I have?"
