Walking alone on the way back to Rutsukiso, Natsuki chose to walk instead of taking the train.

It's really what happened today, so he also needs to think about it calmly, and choosing to walk in the night like this is undoubtedly a good way to help think.

And what he was thinking about was naturally the information he got not long ago, in the illusion of the apse of the shrine, from the residual image of Inari Yubai.

"My name is Inari Yubai, but it wasn't this name at first, this is the name I got later, because those guys thought that my original name was too imposing and not suitable for me, so I couldn't stand being annoyed by them, so I changed the name! Thinking about it now, I was too immature to go with the flow at that time" Inari Yubai, who told this, couldn't help laughing, Natsuki could see that although its smile was helpless, it was more of a reminiscence of the warmth of the past.

"They? They are the people who serve me, there are humans and monsters, and in those days, I was worshiped as a god, and everyone gathered to live together, and it should have been a hundred years ago. Ah, I'm talking about a hundred years ago, a hundred years ago from the time Inari Shrine established the Inari Great Barrier, after all, I was born at that time. And the meaning of my birth is to protect the Inari Great Barrier, as the last insurance for the entrance to the Inari Great Barrier. ”

"As for how long the Inari Great Barrier has existed, I really don't know, after all, I'm just a phantom now, and I have no idea about the passage of time after the establishment of the Inari Great Barrier, but if I think about it for a hundred or two hundred years, there will always be."

"Yes, the barrier connecting the cave heaven blessed land at the apse of the shrine is the Inari Great Barrier, which is a method that I and many followers thought of after meditating and thinking about it, and maybe we can spend the time safely in the end of the Dharma era, and the approximate way is to establish a large barrier that is semi-shielded from the cave heaven blessed land, only allowing the spiritual energy to enter the cave heaven blessed land, but not allowing the spiritual power to leave. In this way, no matter how low the spiritual power in the world is, the spiritual power can still be replenished in the cave heaven blessed land, but this supplement will gradually decline, but it can always be supported for a while longer! As for whether or not it can survive the era of the end of the law, it depends on the will of heaven. ”

"Of course, it's not without its drawbacks! The outflow of spiritual power is blocked, so the people or monsters who have entered the cave heaven and blessed land on the other side of the Inari Great Enchantment cannot come out either, even if they are blocked inside, but they can be supported by a higher level of spiritual power. ”

"So I and my followers followed this line of thought to construct the so-called Inari Great Barrier, although the details are still very different from the concept, but the establishment of the Inari Great Barrier has been basically completed."

"Since then, most of my followers have entered the Cave Heaven Blessed Land opposite the Inari Great Barrier to live in order to survive the end of the Dharma era! And I stayed with a small group of followers on this side of the Inari Great Barrier. ”

"Although this phantom of me has been left here as early as the establishment of the Inari Great Enchantment, and I don't know what I am like in the human world now, I can still guess that the human I must have been extremely weak! And the followers should have withered away. ”

Recalling the message of the phantom left behind by Inari Yubai, Natsuki looked at the full moon in the sky, but his mind couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because of these things that Inari Yubai did, he used to do.

I tried my best to keep my cave blessed land, and when the catastrophe came, I wanted to protect those disciples and grandchildren, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and it is just an absurdity after all.

So Natsuki can understand Inari Yubai, and it is precisely because he can understand that he can't leave it alone.

Sighing after a long absence, Natsuki walked through the streets and alleys of Tokyo, and the light emanating from the shops passing by him continued to dispel the darkness around him.

In this way, he walked from the light of one shop to the light of the next, where the flower shop, vegetable shop, butcher shop, and other shops were closed, and the izakaya was bustling with business.

Drunken office workers come out of the izakaya in droves, tie around their heads, and sing out of tune songs loudly, using alcohol to dispel the sorrows of the day.

In such a night, Natsuki walking through the streets and alleys naturally looks a little out of place.

But I have to say that this feeling of having a bit of a taste of independence is exactly what Natsuki likes, so although he is worried and thinking, he is actually enjoying it.

Enjoy this kind of time that only those who have read the vicissitudes of life will understand, and belong to the night alone!

Then, he saw the mood café that was open with the lights on!

That's right, I followed Natsuki's advice and changed the name of the mood café.

"Did you come around here? Then go in and have a coffee! Natsuki decided to look through the window outside the café and look at the café with no customers.

So Natsuki pushed open the door of the café and walked in with the sound of a bell, which was the sound of the wind chimes hanging in front of the door at some point, and the breeze that accompanied the door opening was gently blown.

Then Natsuki saw that in the café with soft music, the short-haired beauty in an elegant suit, trousers, and bow tie was sitting behind the counter and drinking coffee silently.

"You're here, sit." Sixteen Nights Asuka nodded at Natsuki, and said hello.

"When did you have wind chimes? I remember not having it last time. Natsuki sat down at the counter and said.

"I hung it up a few days ago, because sometimes I don't notice guests coming in." Sixteen Nights Asuka replied lightly.

"I see." Natsuki nodded.

"Would you like something to drink?" Sixteen Nights Asuka looked up and asked.

"Just have a cup of coffee." Natsuki said absentmindedly.

"Is it casual? I've been working on a new way to grind coffee lately, and it's just a good treat for me to help me try it. Sixteen Nights Bird was not stumped by the random words at all.

"Oh, it's an honor." Natsuki said with interest.

So Sixteen Nights Asuka began to take out various tools, pour the coffee beans into the grinding machine, and grind them by hand.

Soon, with a creaking sound, the ground coffee was poured into the filter paper, and then the hot water was used to brew the coffee in the filter paper, and with the hot water and the ground coffee contact, bursts of aroma rose, and the whole space was filled with a sense of peace of mind in an instant.
