Chapter 61: The Driver

"Ah, Master Seisuke, you're back."

There was a surprised female voice upstairs, followed by a clattering footsteps.

A middle-aged maid in an apron ran down from upstairs and took the suitcase from Kiyosuke's hand.

"Welcome home, Master Seisuke."

Kiyosuke was stunned, but he didn't expect someone to be at home.

"Aunt Nozomi, is it cleaning day today?"

Changed into indoor shoes and walked to the living room on the first floor, Kiyosuke lay on the sofa, and the maid put down the suitcase, poured a glass of juice and handed it to him.

"Sunday is cleaning day, has Young Master Kiyosuke come back from the transfer?"

The maid asked curiously, although today is Sunday, but seeing that Kiyosuke is coming back with a suitcase, I'm afraid I'm going to stay for a while.

"I'll come back for a few days, I'll have something to do, and I'll probably be back in Tokyo in a few days."

Kiyosuke lay on the couch, took the juice and took a sip of it, and put it on the coffee table.

Everything in the house has a strange familiarity, very familiar in memory, but it is the first time he has come, and he always feels that this experience is a little strange.

"Do you need me to cook at home these days? Master Kiyosuke. ”

Kiyosuke waved his hand: "No need, I'll solve it myself, Aunt Nozomi, you can come normally, don't worry about me." ”

"Okay, then I'll clean up first, do you still live in the previous room?"

"Well, make my bed."

After the greetings, Kiyosuke stood up, and since there was someone at home to help clean up, he could go directly to the shrine.

Although he can use the terminal to contact the logistics team directly, Kiyosuke doesn't want to trouble the team here in Kyoto, after all, he came here for personal matters.

"Squeak~"

A taxi stopped in front of Kiyosuke, and the driver got out of the car and trotted to the side of the road.

After carefully bowing down to open the door for Kiyosuke, the driver turned his head and asked, "Where are you going, guest?" ”

When the driver turned his head, Kiyosuke was taken aback.

This driver is good-looking and characteristic, like a close relative, with two eyes that are a little untidy outside, and a sharp-beaked monkey cheek smile.

But the driver had already opened the door, and he couldn't stop getting into the car just because the driver looked a little strange.

"Fushimi Inari Taisha, thank you."

Kiyosuke frowned slightly and sat in the back seat of the taxi.

"Are the guests here for a tour?"

"Well, I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I want to come and pay homage to the god Inari."

After the car started, the taxi driver began to talk to Kiyosuke about the shrine.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is famous all over Japan, and many tourists come here every day, and drivers receive many tourists every day.

Although Kiyosuke was chatting with the driver on the surface, he gradually became vigilant in his heart, and this very characteristic driver seemed to be a little wrong, twisting his neck from time to time.

And there seems to be some strange smell in the car, like the smell of something rotting, and it seems to be the smell of feces, very slight, as long as you open the window, you can't smell it.

If it's the smell of corpses, Kiyosuke, who has seen a lot of corpses these days, will definitely be able to recognize it.

After releasing the perception, I didn't find that the driver had a wrong aura, just an ordinary person, but he looked more distinctive.

"You're on the wrong track, you should have turned right at that intersection just now."

Kiyosuke said with a frown.

"Ah, the right turn over there is building a road just now, and you need to take the road ahead."

The driver was seen to be around the road, a little embarrassed, constantly twisting his neck slightly, and from time to time he stretched out his hand to scratch the clothes on his body.

This driver...

It's a bit of a problem.

Although he didn't notice that the driver was aura, Kiyosuke felt that there must be something wrong with him.

"Squeak~"

After the detour was punctured by Genjunsuke, the driver quickly drove to the foot of the mountain where the shrine is located.

After getting out of the car and paying the money, Kiyosuke silently wrote down the driver's license plate, because this time it was a private matter and there was no task, so he did not open the task log of the terminal.

At the moment, the more important thing is to hand over Master's token to the shrine, and when the matter is dealt with, then send the matter of the taxi to the team here in Kyoto for processing.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is the main shrine of more than 30,000 Inari Shrines throughout Japan, and it is so large that it occupies an entire mountain.

While Kiyosuke can see the entire mountain covered in red buildings from the side of the road, the biggest difference between Fushimi Inari Shrine and other shrines is that it has a huge number of torii gates, as well as one of the most famous attractions, the Senbon torii gate.

Master said that after entering the torii, you will enter the realm of the gods, but he did not say which torii gate.

The only entrance to the Divine Domain that Kiyosuke has ever been to is not at the torii gate at the entrance of the shrine, so he is not sure where the entrance to the Divine Domain of the Inari God is.

However, if you walk all the torii gates of the entire shrine, you will definitely find an entrance, and you will be considered to have come to visit the shrine.

As Kiyosuke crossed the first torii gate at the shrine gate, a man in the palace at the top of the hill opened his eyes.

"Kasai's disciple?"

The man frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be not Kasai, but since he could come with his order, he must be his disciple.

"Shiori, a guest is coming, you go down to receive it." The man's voice reached the ears of a woman on the mountainside.

"Yes, sir." The woman in the shrine maiden costume bowed slightly towards the top of the mountain, turned around and began to descend the mountain to meet the guests.

At the foot of the mountain, after crossing the torii gate, Kiyosuke did not rush up the mountain, but walked to the main hall and began to visit, just like a real tourist.

Unlike Asakusa Shrine, the main hall is the first building after entering the torii gate, and it is also the façade of the entire Inari Shrine, and the bright red paint is very characteristic of Japanese shrines.

After walking out of the main hall, Kiyosuke came to the famous spot opposite the main hall, the Senbon Torii Gate, and after passing through the Senbon Torii Gate, you will find the Okusha Shrine.

The Okusha is a place to visit all the gods of Mt. Inari, and Kiyosuke thinks that the Senbon torii gate or the Okusha should be the entrance to the gods' domain, after all, it is the place where all the gods are, so it should be a little different.

It's just that what he can't figure out is that there will be traces when he passes through the torii gate and enters the divine domain.

Kiyosuke still remembers the slight ripples in the space when he saw Miyata enter the Divine Domain before, and ordinary people should be able to see this trace as well.

So he was a little hesitant, because there were still many tourists around, and if he suddenly disappeared into the air, he was afraid that it would cause panic, which would give him a bit of a headache.

At this moment, Kiyosuke's heart moved, and he noticed that a person wearing a shrine maiden costume came over on the other side of the Senbon torii gate.

Although it was still a little far away, Kiyosuke had a faint hunch that she should have come to find her.

So he didn't walk into the Senbon torii, but stood at the intersection and waited for the shrine maiden to come out, after all, I don't know if the torii is the entrance to the god domain, if so, it would be difficult to explain that he disappeared in public.
