Hearing Yagami Sora's request, Jingu Shina couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
"You want me to contact the chief priest..."
"Yakami-kun, what happened?"
"Yes, things are a bit complicated..."
Yagami Sora then recounted Chiba Yui's symptoms of drowsiness, together with Himejima Yuno's inference, to Jingu Shina.
After hearing this, the expression on Jingu Shina's face couldn't help but become solemn.
"Is this so? When I accepted the inheritance, this happened to Chiba-san..."
"Okay then, I will pray to the chief priest to come."
After saying that, she quickly closed her eyes, crossed her slender fingers on her chest, and solemnly recited a prayer.
"Get rid of it, abide by it, purify it, repent, and wish..."
"I go to the Inari Grand Shrine to worship the soul-controlling god Uga..."
However, as the prayer continued, something unexpected happened to Jingu Shina.
The divine power belonging to the God of Inari that was supposed to arrive did not appear this time.
Of course, it wasn't that her praying posture was wrong.
Because Jingu Shina can clearly sense that her desire to have the chief priest come and meet Lord Yagami has been conveyed to the chief priest.
However, there was no response from the officiating god.
This feeling is probably like sending someone a message online.
The status shows read.
But the other party just didn't reply.
For a moment, Jingu Mariina couldn't help but feel a little puzzling about Inari God's unusual behavior.
After reciting it several times with no response, she had no choice but to open her eyes and explain to Ye Shenkong with some hesitation.
"Yakami-kun, the chief priest... seems to be busy with something and ignored my prayers."
"Perhaps the chief priest will have to wait until he is free and sees my prayer before he will answer me."
"Until then, I can only wait patiently."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
But she didn't force Jingu Shina and nodded to express her understanding.
"In this case, there is nothing we can do."
He then remembered something and spoke again.
"Oh, by the way, besides that, I have another thing to trouble Inari God."
"What's going on?" Jingu Shina asked.
Ye Shenkong glanced at Bai Zangzhu, who was looking away in the courtyard, and lowered his voice.
"Please ask the President of the Shrine to confirm with Inari God for me. There should be a lot of foxes on her side, right?"
...
Gao Tianyuan.
In front of the wooden house that is rippling with divine light, a huge ancient cherry tree stands in the sky, with its crystal pink petals floating in the breeze.
And under the cherry blossom tree, a beautiful figure stood there, letting the petals fall on the shoulder without knowing it.
It is the God of Inari.
Interpreting Jingu Shina's prayer, at this moment, Inari God's pretty face was full of doubts.
After he deliberately ignored the human being's request to meet him, the other person not only did not stop, but insisted on letting Jingu Shina launch a new prayer to him.
Moreover, the content this time left Inari God quite confused.
Ask yourself are there any foxes here?
What does this mean?
Inari God couldn't understand.
She uses foxes as her messengers to walk across the neon land. This is something everyone knows.
Didn’t the other party ask this kind of question knowingly——
Suddenly, Inari God's right eyelid twitched for no apparent reason, and an inexplicable sense of crisis enveloped his heart.
With this sense of crisis, she figured everything out in an instant, and her eyes suddenly widened in fear.
No, this is not asking questions knowingly...
But a naked intimidation!
He is hinting to himself that he is not just a god!
Even if you can shrink up, you can't hide those fox angels who are still running around outside!
If he never shows his head, he will attack his precious fox angels!
After thinking about all this, Inari God couldn't help but clenched his silver teeth, and the anger in his heart was burning.
How...how could this be possible!
Damn humans, what's the point of bullying a fox!
If you have the ability, come to me!
If you don't show off your power, you will really be considered as afraid of you!
She resolutely gave the oracle to Jingu Shina.
...
Jinguya, in the shrine.
Jingu Shina, who entered a state of prayer, opened her eyes again and said happily.
"Mr. Ye Shen, the chief priest has sent down an oracle."
"Then, what did Inari God say?" Yagami Sora asked quickly.
"Well... the chief priest said that he was taking a bath just now, so he couldn't reply in time. I'm really sorry for the trouble caused. I hope you can understand and I will never do it again next time."
Jingu Shina recalled and repeated Inari God's words exactly as they were said.
As expected of Inari God, his attitude is still so humble and friendly... Yagami Sora sighed silently in his heart.
Having said this, Jingu Shina paused for a moment and then continued.
"As for Chiba-san's matter, the chief priest said that relying solely on the power of the divine descending state may not be enough to find out the cause, so she plans to come to Neon in person to confirm Chiba-san's situation."
"However, the process of arrival is more complicated and may take a few days to prepare."
After hearing the expected answer, Yashenkong nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, please ask the president of the shrine to thank Inari Shrine for me."
"Then, I'll take my leave today -"
"Cough, cough!"
Suddenly, an unnatural coughing sound came from outside the door.
The next moment, Jinguwang's voice sounded from outside.
"Yakami-kun, I have a visitor."
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong was slightly startled.
Immediately he noticed something, stood up, and gave instructions to Bai Zangzhu beside him.
"Well, Xiaobai, first explain your criteria for choosing a mate to this big sister."
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
...
Jingu family.
In the quaintly decorated tea room, a strong charcoal fire has already boiled the boiling water on the stove.
According to tea ceremony etiquette, at this time, the owner of the tea room should have prepared tea sets and tea powder, and is ready to make tea.
But the visitor obviously had no interest in the tea ceremony. He just knelt down in front of the stove, closed his eyes, and let the water vapor hit the lid of the pot.
The Kodachi was placed horizontally on his lap, and the dark scabbard was as noticeable as a stain.
At this moment, Ye Shenkong opened the door.
Looking at the figure wearing a cherry-white kimono in the tea room, he sighed softly.
"I'm still thinking about what kind of noble person he is, worthy of being informed personally by the head of the Jingu family."
Hearing this, Otonashi Chexue did not turn around, but turned her back to Yashenkong and said calmly.
"It seems like you have a very close relationship with that supreme god witch."
"After all, they are companions who have fought side by side, so it is normal for them to have a close relationship." Yashenkong shrugged.
"Oh, really?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Otonashi Cheyuki's voice.
She turned half of her face and looked sideways at Ye Shenkong.
"Just now, the head of the Jingu family reported to me that someone has had the idea of marrying into the family."
"Why, you are unwilling to join the fifth team, but you are willing to take the initiative to join the Jingu family. Isn't it because you have fallen in love with that miko with beautiful breasts?"
"Ye Shenkong, luckily I looked at you so highly, but I didn't expect that you are also the kind of person who is greedy for beauty——"
"No, I'm just trapped by debt and forced to make a living." Ye Shenkong calmly interrupted the other party.
"If Captain Otonashi could have given me 10 billion yen as a reward for joining the fifth division, I would have written the application form overnight, and no matter what tasks Captain Otonashi assigned me, I would not have said anything
One word 'no'."
"......snort."
Otonashi Chexue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but in the end she couldn't say anything and could only snort coldly.
Looking at the other party's expression, Ye Shenkong suddenly thought deeply and asked tentatively.
"Captain Otonashi, are you in a bad mood today?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Otonashi Chexue said coldly.
Seeing this, Yashenkong also understood the situation and did not continue to ask further, and changed the topic.
"Then, let's talk about something related."
"Captain Otonashi, why do you come here specifically to find me?"
"Nothing, I just came to inform you that I will tidy up after I go back tonight and prepare to leave tomorrow." Otonashi Chexue said calmly.
"I have assigned the specific details to Xiao Sagawa. You can ask her later."
"Departure? So soon?" Ye Shenkong was slightly surprised.
"Of course, after all, this is related to the safety of the entire neon." Otonashi Chexue gave the other party a strange look.
"Why, do you have anything else to do?"
No, I can’t expose Inari God and Chiba-san in front of her...
Ye Shenkong shook his head and said.
"No."
Otonashi Chexue did not continue to pursue the matter and nodded lightly.
"Well, solve it as soon as possible, and then come back and report to me."
"If there's no problem, you can go back first."
But even though she said this, Ye Shenkong had no intention of leaving at all.
Staring into the other person's eyes, as if trying to find a fulcrum to support his thoughts.
Seeing this, Otonashi Chexue couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Why, do you have any more questions?"
Ye Shenkong withdrew his gaze and asked calmly.
"I want to know, in the eyes of Captain Otonashi, is that fox demon really that dangerous?"
Hearing this, Otonashi Chexue couldn't help but be startled.
"Did you notice it?"
"Yes." Ye Shenkong nodded.
"After all, Captain Otonashi said that he attaches great importance to efficiency and effectiveness."
"If you really want to notify me to set off to perform a mission tomorrow, the most efficient and effective way would be to directly ask Inspector Kosagawa to contact me."
"So, Captain Otonashi can't be here for this matter."
"If you take into account Captain Otonashi's advantages, and what kind of tasks require Captain Otonashi to personally take action, the result is already obvious."
Under the gaze of Otonashi Cheyuki, Yagami Kong announced his final judgment.
"I think you came here because of Xiaobai."
In response, Otonashi Chexue looked at him silently for several seconds.
Then he nodded.
"That's right."
"That monster is indeed very dangerous. Even among the third-level singularities, it still ranks among the most powerful."
Her tone paused slightly.
"But it looks like you've solved it."
"With your physique, you can subdue a monster of this level. This is indeed beyond my expectation."
"It's just a fluke." Ye Shenkong said.
Looking at the fearless Yagami Sora in front of him, Otonashi Chexue's eyes suddenly became cold and stern.
Cold voice said.
"Yakami Kong, don't think I'm complimenting you."
"When you encounter such a monster, you should find a way to contact me as soon as possible instead of solving it in your own way."
"With your weak body, if the other party gets serious, it will break into pieces with just a slight scratch, and you will never be able to regain your original self."
"You are now a member of the fifth division, and I must be responsible for your safety."
She paused briefly and continued.
"If it were normal, I would definitely teach you a lesson."
"But this time, I'll let you go first."
"After all, this time, it's not just your problem. If this happens, I also have an unshirkable responsibility."
She was not excusing Yagami Sora.
Because he had been working on detecting neon lights for the past two days, Otonashi Cheyuki's mental energy was severely exhausted.
As a last resort, we had no choice but to slightly reduce the intensity of surveillance in the surrounding areas.
It was precisely this that gave Bai Zangzhu an opportunity to take advantage of.
Otherwise, the other party would never have a chance to get close to Tokyo and would be noticed by her and killed.
Now that this situation has developed, Otonashi Chexue doesn't know whether it is good or bad.
Unknowingly, the power gathered around Ye Shenkong has become increasingly impossible to ignore...
She stretched out her hand towards Yagami Sora.
"Then, take it out."
"Huh? What does Captain Otonashi mean?" Yagami said in surprise.
"Don't pretend to be confused." Otonashi Chexue said coldly.
"With your character, you won't set an uncontrollable time bomb around yourself."
"In other words, now you have the means to control that fox demon."
"The seal of it should be in your hand, right?"
"Now, give it to me."
Still as sharp as ever...Yakami said silently in his heart.
However, even when faced with such a powerful Otonashi Chexue, he still shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Captain Otonashi, I'm sorry to have to obey."
"Because for me now, I also need a curse seal."
But what Yashenkong didn't expect was that he thought he would have to spend more time explaining, but Otonashi Chexue had already put down his hand and said thoughtfully.
"Is that so? Is it because of your treasure?"
Although she looked calm on the outside, she was actually a little surprised inside.
You know, the curse seal of Yugong City is still in Yashenkong's hands.
It was a cursed seal with a level 4 singularity, but from Ye Shenkong's tone, it seemed that it was far from enough to use that treasure...
Where is the upper limit of that treasure...
"Yes, in order to give full play to its power, I really need this curse seal, and I hope Captain Otonashi can approve it."
Ye Shenkong said seriously.
Hearing this, Otonashi Chexue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yagami Sora in front of her.
Contrary to Ye Shenkong's expectation, the next second, she spoke calmly.
"Then, do you want more?"
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but subconsciously ask.
"Any more?"
"As of right now, there really isn't." Otonashi Chexue said calmly.
"Every cursed seal obtained by the Thirteen Nights must be handed over to the right person immediately. Only in this way can they exert their due combat power."
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong looked at each other speechlessly.
"If not, then why did Captain Otonashi ask me this question?"
"Although I don't have it now, if you find the curse seal you want but you are not a match for it, come back to me."
Otonashi Cheyuki lowered her head to look at the dynasty in her hand and said softly.
