Hachiman Shrine.

Fujiko Hoshino and Tetsuya Yasakura came to visit again.

The old priestess received them warmly, and a young apprentice shrine maiden came over in the side room to serve tea and dessert.

"Please."

Hiranuma Jian smiled and beckoned the little girl to sit down, and introduced with a smug expression: "This is my granddaughter Hiranuma Chiharu, who came to the shrine to help me during the school holidays." ”

Chiharu Hiranuma was wearing a slim witch robe, holding a disc in her arms, and when she was introduced by her grandfather Hiranuma Key, she looked a little shy, and her hand kept fiddling with the sleeves of her clothes.

"Hello." Hoshino said hello flatly.

"Ah, hello!" Chiharu Hiranuma secretly looked at the two of them, and one of them especially looked closely at Tetsuya Yasakura.

Needless to say, the appearance of Fujiko Hoshino is needless to say, and Tetsu Yazakura is also from a big family, and she is also very handsome, and she has a sharp temperament, which is very attractive to people's attention.

Originally, Hiranuma wanted to ask where Keisuke Aoi had gone, and he was also very impressed by the young man.

But every time I want to speak, I just happen to be attracted by what Hoshino said.

Later, he noticed that Hoshino seemed reluctant to talk about it, so he stopped dwelling on the issue.

Hoshino and Yasakura Tetsuya are not talkative people to outsiders, but fortunately, Hiranuma Key has been a god for decades and has received all kinds of guests, so he didn't let the scene completely cool down.

On the contrary, Hiranuma Chiharu listened for a while, shrunk her toes in embarrassment, and got up to clean the shrine.

Without Keisuke Aoi to communicate on her behalf, Fujiko Hoshino was actually a little tired, she didn't like this kind of communication in the first place, she hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go straight.

"Hiranuma Divine Master, I actually came here this time to ask about what happened in Ozawa Village more than 20 years ago."

Without waiting for Hiranuma to refuse, she took out the newspaper that Keisuke Aoi had restored from her bag and handed it to the old god.

"Please don't say no, we're here for it."

"What! ...... are you? ”

When Hiranuma saw the headline of the newspaper, he was rarely a little out of shape.

It stands to reason that there should not be such a retention at all......

Could it be that the power of the gods has fallen?

But......

The fate that is entangled in Daze Mountain is clearly not lacking, right?

Hiranuma was silent.

Hoshino continued to say indifferently, "Tsuruyu's Ozawa Lady General and Kitazawa Oda from the Police Station are currently missing.

We can be sure that they are not dead now, but if you choose to continue to hide it, I am afraid that the probability of their survival can be equated with nothing. ”

"Ozawa and Kitazawa......"

Hiranuma Key's face turned pale, and he sighed deeply after a long time.

"Since you have come here specifically for Ozawa Village, you must have come to your senses."

He stood up, his face hidden behind the sunlight, and his originally kind expression became a little hideous because of this.

"Please wait for me to send Chiharu down the mountain first."

"Please."

While waiting, Yazakura Tetsuya secretly looked at Hoshino, those beautiful and indifferent eyes, staring at the ancient ornaments on the walls of the room.

It was a wooden bow and quiver.

Tetsuya Yasakura is also the person who knows Fujiko Hoshino best, but even he never thinks that he has really entered Hoshino's inner world.

As Hoshino's relative, he never wanted to break the incomparably deep ice in Hoshino's heart, but even "I Shiliu", the sharpest sword in the world, couldn't fulfill his wish.

- His sister will remain in isolation, as always.

Until death.

Tetsuya Yasakura drank the tea from the empty teacup, still feeling dry in his mouth, he stood up, walked to the corridor outside the teahouse, looked up at a few high-flying blackbirds in the sky, and felt a depression in his chest that could not be dissolved.

Of course, Hoshino knew all his noisy thoughts, but these words that were closely related to her did not make her expression change in the slightest, she just withdrew her gaze indifferently and took a shallow sip of tea.

Hiranuma left for more than ten minutes as soon as he left, and the whole shrine was a little eerily quiet.

Ye Sakura Tetsuya walked in from the corridor, and his expression suddenly became a little solemn.

"Maybe something went wrong."

"Check it out."

Tetsuya nodded her head, grabbed the hilt of her sword and enveloped the shrine with an invisible cyclone, and then followed the residual breath into the side room.

Hoshino stood up and followed behind Tetsuya Yasakura.

Keisuke Aoi once told her that the Hachiman Shrine in Yuzawa does not possess mystical powers, which also means that there is no ability to defend against mysteries.

Tetsuya Yasakura's brows furrowed, for some reason, he couldn't feel any breath of life.

The tea in the tea room was still warm, and he didn't notice anything unusual, so the scene and conversation just now shouldn't be hallucinating.

However, he was also unaware of the disappearance of Hiranuma's grandfather and grandson.

This means...... The situation is completely out of his control!

"Sister, I'm afraid it's time for us to go......"

After confirming that the Hiranuma key and Hiranuma Chiharu were indeed all gone, they finally stood in front of the main hall of the shrine, where the deity of Hachiman was enshrined, usually a sword, mirror, or jade modeled after the three artifacts.

Sweat slid down Tetsuya's cheeks, the blade was already half an inch out of its sheath, and in the cold light, there was still a seeping cold bully.

With this knife, he still can't seem to find a target.

At his signal, the two slowly retreated towards the outside of the shrine.

At this moment, a sharp explosion suddenly sounded in the deepest main hall, and a majestic spirit burst out from the divine body.

"Be careful!"

Ye Sakura Tetsuya suddenly changed color, and did not hesitate to draw his knife and slash horizontally.

The spirit merged into his sword momentum, turning into an incomparably sharp white light, and slashed into the god body of the Hachiman Shrine in the blink of an eye.

The thatched-house-style main hall exploded in an instant in the collision of two forces, and a flash of light suddenly lit up from the altar, stealing all sight from Hoshino Fujiko and Yasakura Tetsuya.

Hoshino suddenly heard the sound of countless sword collisions, and Sakura Tetsuya's breathing changed from light to heavy in an instant, and a strong wind swept through her side, but it was all cut off by a long knife.

"Sister...... It's Shenyin, let's go! ”

As soon as Tetsuya Yasakura's words fell, the light on the altar bloomed again, and even if both of them closed their eyes, they were still stung by the light and shed tears.

"Hum—"

Hoshino almost fainted in the sea of spirits with a loud bang, and she bent over in pain, her cheeks flushing an unhealthy red, and she covered her mouth and coughed in pain.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the bracelet she had stored in her bag suddenly spread out of its tender green branches.

The green leaves on the branches withered silently in the light, and all the three beads that were attached to them withered, turning into a turquoise breath that merged into her body, and then merged into the earth, spreading out.

All the blinding light and loud noises came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

"Listen to me......"

Hoshino sat on her knees on the stone path in front of the main hall, and beside her legs, vigorous green grass grew from the cracks in the stones.

She gasped violently, and hurriedly reached out a hand to reach forward, because—

Tetsuya Yasakura's voice disappeared.

The sonorous screech of all the swords, the shattering debris of the house, all lost their sound.

The whole world is left with nothing but a single sound like tinnitus.

"Tetsuya ......?"

Hoshino looked up in a bit of a trance.

She saw that the entire shrine was covered with lush vegetation, green vines crawling all over the rooftops, flowers and plants clustering in the clearing, covering all the stone paths and courtyards, and light green spots of light in the air.

But there was nothing in front of her.

Tetsuya Yasakura, God is hidden.

Some people died, but not completely......
