Chapter XXXVIII

Shiba Park is not far from Tokyo Tower. There are many beautiful shrines and temples in the vicinity of high-class hotels and schools, TV stations, radio stations, embassies and other buildings.

In that area, there are many trails.

Most of them face the street, but if you don't know the road, it's easy to overlook.

Walking on this intricate road, I unconsciously came to the stone steps.

There are 200 steps, which is very high for the stone steps in the city center.

The Seven Shrines are suitable for being located on such high ground.

Although you won't fall into the guarded forest, the shrine is surrounded by lush trees, giving you a quiet and comfortable feel.

In the precincts, not far from the front hall, there is a shrine office with a bungalow structure.

In that room, Yuri Waniya was dressing up.

She wears a white dress and a red kimono skirt, and her long hair is combed in front of the mirror.

Shoot long hair with a jade-like color with a deep brown color. Hair color is not dyed, but it is born with a thin color

This used to give Yuri a vague sense of inferiority, but it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that the comb that was combing the hair suddenly broke.

"It's unlucky, I hope nothing bad happens."

Yuri muttered about his unsubstantiated thoughts.

There is always a sense that there will be a bad omen.

It's best to investigate a little. This kind of thing that ordinary girls can forget immediately is completely different for her.

After dressing up, Yuri left the shrine's office.

On the way to the front hall, rub shoulders with several clergy.

For them who bowed their heads to greet them, Yuri also responded with a greeting. There is a reason for the respectful and cautious behavior of the 15-year-old shrine maiden.

In this shrine, Maritani Yuri is a person who is higher than anyone else.

"-Oh, the witch, the first meeting. Can you talk a little bit about that? ”

Suddenly stopped by a brisk-sounding voice.

Although she is called Yuan, she has no respect. I always feel a bit funny.

The owner of the voice slowly walked towards Yuri. Although he was walking in leather shoes, he walked on the sand without making a sound.

See the footwork of the man in front of you. You will know that this is not something that ordinary people can see through.

"First time you're meeting, who are you?"

"Ah, what a faux pas. I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Gansu. It's my honor to meet the beautiful shrine maiden, and we'll know each other in the future. ”

While reporting his name, he walked up to Yuri and handed out his business card.

Yuri took it and looked at it.

It says Sweet Meal Winter Horse. However, the problem is the title written under the name.

"The people of the Editorial Committee of the Official History, do you have anything to do with me?"

Yuri asked, confused.

Dressed inappropriately in an ordinary suit, he looks like a simple young man in the late 20s at most.

However, for the envoy of this organization that oversees the entire Japanese spell world. It must be taken seriously. And touch carefully.

"In the organization, there may be a spark that will become an unprecedented disaster for our country, and I feel a little tricky. Therefore, I want to use the power of the witch, although it is a bit reckless, please forgive me. ”

"I don't know much about anything other than being a domestic assistant or something."

"You're humble, there are a few witches in Musashino, but there are very few people who are as good at the magic power of spiritual vision as you. And, in addition to this, there are two other reasons. ”

A sorcerer who inherited the art of Japanese art since ancient times. Psionic Beings.

Yuri Wanli is also one of them.

Musashino, that is, the group that belongs to the protection of the Kanto region, although young, but the high-ranking shrine maiden called Yuan has its duties and obligations to complete.

"You're a witch in Musashino. There is an obligation to assist our official history compilation committee, you should know the Tao, right? At this time, the questions will be put aside for the first time, and please listen to the details. ”

"Of course. So. What do you want me to do? ”

"I want to meet a teenager who lives in Tokyo, and I'd like you to check it out. That boy named Yang Xi from China is not the real Campione. ”

β€œCampioneοΌŸβ€

In Europe. The title of the biggest and most vicious demon king.

Yuri was taken aback by the unexpected words.

- Glowing, tiger-like pupils.

This name always reminded her of the evil eye of the demon king.

"I don't think I know why I chose you, right? When you were young, you met Sasha. Dejansdal. The Warban experience. The identification of the Campione should also be relatively easy. ”

"Hmm. The so-called Campione is known in Japan as the manifestation of the violent ghost god and the incarnation of the taboo Rakshasa King. However, it is hard to believe that in order for man to become a 'king', isn't it necessary to kill God? - The person who could cause such a miracle came to this country? ”

More than five years ago, Yuri met Campione in a small country in Eastern Europe.

Sasha. Dejansdal. Woban.

Anyone who hears that name is feared even by the magicians of Europe and sings the holy words of prayer.

The stark tiger-like eyes and emerald eyes in the darkness will probably be something Yuri will never forget.

Later, when I heard that this demon king had the power to turn the living into salt just by staring, my fear of him became even greater.

"I feel the same way. So we don't want to believe that Yang Xi is real. However, based on the accumulated information of various kinds, it is no longer possible to think so. ”

Ganji shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly.

"According to the Greenwich Magi Conference, Yang Xi defeated the Persian god of war Vereslana and the god king Merca at the same time in Sardinia, Italy, in March this year, and obtained the qualification of king. After that, he fought with the King of Swords in Italy, causing massive destruction. ”

"Then why did he come to Japan? Didn't you say that the teenager named Yang Xi was Chinese? ”

"Well, it is said that he was defeated in the battle to snatch the position of the only king with the martial arts king of China and exiled here. We don't know the specifics, so we want to ask you to confirm whether these messages are true. ”

The magic power of the witch possessed by Yuri Wanli - extremely strong spiritual vision and sensing power. It is something that cannot be taken lightly, and it will invite unexpected disasters.

If she could, she didn't want to use the force as much as she could.

"About the young Yang Xi, please tell me in detail. Did you learn some spells like we did? Or learn martial arts? ”

After making up his mind to solve the problem with all his might, Yuri asked.

Of course, the Demon King is terrifying. Of course, I don't want to meet Lu Jian. But. Thinking of the suffering of many people, it is probably some kind of fate that I was named here.

"I don't know how to do it, I can't find any information about that Yang Xi boy, whether it's his origin, age, or even his home address, it's all secret, as if he appeared in this world out of thin air. The first time he appeared, he defeated the two gods of disobedience at the same time, either because he had the luck against the sky, or he had unimaginable strength. ”

"Unbelievable strength?"

"You could think of him as a godkiller before he was born."

"This"

"Well~ because everything about him is unknown, you can boldly assume. That's why there is such speculation. ”

Gan Ji took out the documents from his bag and handed them over.

Yuri Wanli looked at it a little.

It is an investigation report about Yang Xi. Profiles, experiences, activities in Italy, competence as a Campione, etc., are recorded on it.

Sure enough, as Ganji said, there was nothing but information from a month ago, that is, after March.

"By the way, why did he choose to fight the gods of Persia in southern Italy? It feels like a place with a different impression? ”

"This may have something to do with Alexander the Great. The emperor wanted to rule the Greeks and Persians to coexist peacefully, and the Hellenistic culture was born. European and Eastern cultures. Bring about the influence of imagination above each other. ”

There was a wry smile in the words of Ganji.

"Veleslana can be said to have the same status as Indra in Hindu mythology (note: the king of the gods in Hindu mythology, the god of thunderstorms, has the most prominent position. It is one of the earliest great gods in India, and its image is usually in the form of a celestial man, sitting on a giant elephant, and the body of a thousand eyes is solemn before. He wears a crown on his head, and his body is decorated with all kinds of jewels, and he holds or pestles. In Chinese temples, there are mostly statues of young emperors. And it's a man and a woman. Equal status of the Godhead. In fact, in Alexander's time, the heroic god Hercules may have been one with him. For example, he is not named Artagnes by such a Greek name. After the death of Alexander the Great, some of the subjects gave up going to Pompeius and moved to what is now southern Italy, so I don't think it's a completely irrelevant area. ”

Yuri listened to the explanation and flipped through the materials.

Suddenly, I found that there was a picture of a silver-haired girl sandwiched inside, and even Yuri, who was of the same sex, thought it was very beautiful and impressive.

"Ah, that girl is Liliana. Kranizal - It is said that she is the maiden of Yang Xi's knight of the guard. He seems to be a genius in swords and magic.,A magician from a famous family.。 ”

The knight of the guards can be understood as a legitimate lover.

Not only is he responsible for the safety of the king, but he also has the obligation to serve in bed.

Understanding this, Yuri Wanli was suddenly a little speechless.

"The Bronze Black Cross quickly understood the importance of Yang Xi, so it can be said that it was quite a proper strategy to use the ace genius child of the association to deepen the bond with him."

Yuri stared at the photo of Yang Xi attached to the information and was silent for a long time.

"So, there are two reasons to commission this, right? Can you tell me about the other one? ”

"Well, of course. I heard that the king liked beautiful girls very much, so I hope that you, the beautiful witch maiden, can sincerely invite him to a party we have prepared for him on behalf of our official history compilation committee. Provided, of course, that he is indeed a Campione. (To be continued......)
