It's not that hot in Tokyo in October.

The cool autumn breeze blows through the cherry blossom trees on both sides, and the air is fresh and breathtaking.

The only pity is that there is a lot less scenery under the skirt.

There are no classes for theologian majors this morning.

But Haruhiko still arrived at school on time.

Because he studied archaeology at the same time.

Haruhiko followed the guidance of the sign and arrived at the classroom smoothly.

There are already quite a few students in it.

But he didn't make much of a splash.

Because no one knew him.

Only the female classmates looked at him twice.

The main thing is that he is so handsome that he can't fit his legs.

Haruhiko found an empty seat and sat down.

Archaeology is an elective major.

There are not many courses.

Just take three classes a week.

Most of those who are interested in studying archaeology have the same idea as Harukako.

Joined the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

It is worth mentioning that the Edo Archaeological Bureau is not only responsible for the Takamagahara ruins.

If a new ruin is discovered, it will also be explored.

Therefore, many civilian psionics regard it as a good path to promotion.

The first lesson is called "The Basics of Ruins".

Ruins, usually refer to the relics of the gods, that is, the wealth left over from thousands of years ago.

Because it involves the gods, it's worth a lot of money.

In addition to this, there are also modern ruins.

The quality of these ruins varies, and there are even ruins that are actually traps.

Heavy losses and nothing as a result.

After class, Haruhiko left the classroom.

At the entrance of the school building, he was stopped.

"Haruhiko, huh?"

A young man who looked to be in his thirties asked with a smile.

"I am."

Haruhiko glanced at him, sure it was the first time they met, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm the head of the Edo Archaeological Bureau at the University of Tokyo, and my name is Yasuhiro Ishikawa."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa introduced himself.

Haruhiko's eyes lit up.

He excelled in the Battle of Fii River and took archaeology, the purpose of which was already obvious.

It was only natural for the Edo Archaeological Bureau to come to the door.

"We've looked into your background."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa had a kind attitude and asked, "You are from Inari Shrine and an apprentice of a Chiyo female senior, so you are eligible to join the Edo Archaeological Bureau." I don't know if you have any ideas? ”

"I'm honored."

Haruhiko immediately replied with a smile.

"Welcome to the Edo Archaeological Bureau's probationary staff."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa nodded in satisfaction.

The excellent students of the Battle of Fiikawa, they all have an understanding.

But Haruhiko is the best.

In addition to his own strength, that is, his teacher is a Chiyo girl, and his senior sister is Kaoru Aizawa.

The University of Tokyo is actually a very strong neutral force.

If it can be obtained, it will be very useful for the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

With such a background, it is absolutely impossible for Haruhiko to become an undercover agent of a big family.

I won't do anything to ruin the reputation of the University of Tokyo.

"Probationers?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then how can I turn positive?" ”

"After testing, it can be turned positive."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa explains, "The test was commissioned by the Edo Archaeological Bureau. ”

Haruhiko understood.

It would be too normal to join so easily.

"Is the commission of the Edo Archaeological Bureau to go to the archaeological ruins?"

Haruhiko's eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness.

"Not exactly."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa sighed and asked, "Do you know the survivors?" ”

Haruhiko nodded.

"The origins of the survivors are very complex, and there are all major families."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa's face was heavy and he said, "If it's a major family, forget it, but in the past two years, we have discovered an organization called the Snake Spirit, in which it is smuggled and trafficked. ”

Snake spirit?

Haruhiko was stunned.

The name is really suggestive.

Could it be the oracles of the Yaki Orochi?

Unknowingly, he already has such a big power.

Sure enough, it's the villain of the later stage.

"The snake spirit not only organizes the survivors to go to the Takamagahara-based ruins, but also unscrupulously robs and steals the items outside."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa's tone was a little resentful.

The headquarters of the Edo Archaeological Bureau is located in Takamagahara.

However, the excavated items are generally sold to the outside world for disposal.

It stands to reason that the transportation route or storage location is top secret.

However, the Snake Spirit Bureau can often find the door, causing serious losses.

Haruhiko remembered another guess from before.

The Edo Archaeological Bureau can't have been completely infiltrated by the snake spirit, right?

"As a probationer, there will be a commission at the same level as you every month, and after a year, all of them will be completed and you can become a regular."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa's voice became steady, and he added, "Don't worry, the commission is paid. ”

"Okay."

Haruhiko secretly said that this Edo Archaeological Bureau is quite humane.

It's just one more second-order order.

Not a big problem.

It's just that the time is relatively long, it takes a year.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Haruhiko is younger.

"It's your identification."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa pulled out a small dark red notebook.

It has Haruhiko's avatar and job title on it.

Obviously, it is already something that has been prepared in advance.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko glanced at it and put it away.

"The commission will be sent to your phone through the software of the Great Imperial Palace."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa paused and said with a smile, "Please say hello to Chiyo on behalf of the Edo Archaeological Bureau." ”

"I will."

Haruhiko was thoughtful.

Yasuhiro Ishikawa, as the person in charge, came to recruit students in person, which is undoubtedly unreasonable.

Now it seems that it is because of Chiyonu.

He's a great teacher.

It is also the fifth order, and the Jingu Temple Winter Imperial has no reflection in terms of social status.

However, it also has to do with her character.

After saying goodbye to Yasuhiro Ishikawa, Haruhiko came to Sanssouci Garden.

"Say hello to me?"

Chiyome closed her eyes, and her little face showed a look of memory.

Haruhiko was a little curious, but didn't ask.

After all, it involves the secret of Chiyonu.

It's true that he's an apprentice, but the relationship hasn't gotten so good yet.

"You joined the Edo Archaeological Bureau?"

Chiyonu opened her eyes and asked.

"Hmm."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

"In that case, next month, you can come with me to an undersea ruin."

Chiyonu tilted her head, sighed a little, and said, "That's about the remains of the merman, the autumn water you learned is from the merman, maybe you can help, maybe it's not enough." ”

"Okay."

Haruhiko hadn't seen the ruins, so he was still interested.

And it's a merman, a legendary mermaid.

Well, the mermaid in Tokyo shouldn't be black, right?

There are not many records about the mermaids in Dongying locality.

But there is a well-known story.

Eight hundred bhikshunis, eat the flesh of the merman, so that they will not die or grow old.

It is worth mentioning that bhikshuni means nun.

Haruhiko subconsciously glanced at Chiyonu.

How old is she?

However, Haruhiko didn't hear her name in the first week.

This means that she is under a thousand years old.

"I'm going to teach you a new third-order spell today, called Autumn Water Crossing the Sea."

Chiyome explained, "It allows humans to have the ability to move freely in the water. ”

Haruhiko was slightly stunned.

He always felt very disobedient.

Why did the merman develop this spell specifically for humans? Or was it created by Chiyonu?
