Chapter 71 Unless you are willing to pay for the year
The next day.
Yagami Detective Agency.
At this moment, Chiba Yui was holding a cup of coffee and placed it on the table in front of Yagami Sora.
Looking at the other person's eyes that revealed fatigue and sleepiness, I couldn't help but suggest.
"Yakami-kun, do you want to take a rest first? I feel like you are very tired..."
"No, there is no time. Before I meet them next time, I have to come up with a good coping strategy."
Ye Shenkong frowned and further expanded the scope of his thinking.
"them?"
Chiba Yui's pretty face was a little confused.
"They are the colleagues from the inspection tour of Kosagawa." Yagami explained.
"Ah, you mean someone with extraordinary power like Mr. Nohara, right?"
Chiba Yui couldn't help but recall the middle-aged uncle who never left his smoking cigarette, and said in surprise.
"Could it be that Lord Yagami has met them again recently?"
"Isn't this kind of thing very dangerous?"
"Yes, it is indeed dangerous."
As if remembering something, Yashenkong couldn't help but sigh gloomily.
"Leave aside their ridiculously powerful attack power and destructive power, they also use despicable mental attacks, which are simply hard to guard against."
"That's why we have to come up with comprehensive countermeasures."
He then looked up at the clock on the wall and asked.
"By the way, Chiba-san, what is the time of the other party's appointment?"
"Ten o'clock sharp." Chiba Yui accurately reported a number.
"Is it ten o'clock sharp? It will be here soon. It's time to prepare to welcome the guests."
Ye Shenkong stood up after hearing this and moved his body, which had become a little stiff due to sitting for a long time.
That's right.
Today, important guests will visit the office.
His identity is that of the contact person from the Jingu family that Jingu Marina mentioned before.
Considering that the other party may also have extraordinary power, for the sake of safety, Yagami Sora did not intend to let Himejima Yuno show up.
That’s why Chiba Yui will temporarily take over the office’s reception duties.
However, the reason why he did this was partly because the other party mentioned on the phone that communication would be more efficient if Chiba Yui could be present.
Since the other party made the appointment so openly, there must be no ill intentions.
Therefore, Yashenkong made bold arrangements with confidence.
...
Nine fifty-five.
The knock on the door sounded on time.
"Please come in."
Following Yui Chiba's crisp voice, the door of the office was opened, and three figures stepped in one after another.
The leader was a rather old man, his broad forehead had deep wrinkles due to the erosion of time, and his hair was gray.
When walking, he puts his hands in front of his body, unconsciously exuding the aura of a true superior.
Among the three, he was the only one wearing a gray-black haori, with a family crest pattern consisting of hollow four-leaf flowers on each side of his chest.
Just like the pattern that Ya Shenkong once saw outside the temple door of Yunwai Pure Land.
The other two people around him obviously acted as bodyguards. Their well-developed muscles and sharp-edged clothes were always guarding the old man's sides.
As long as there is a trace of possible danger, it will explode at any time and transform into a terrifying murder weapon.
Looking at the three people in front of her, especially the old man, Chiba Yui couldn't help but be stunned.
With this kind of aura, he doesn't feel like an ordinary person, but some powerful big shot...
She subconsciously looked at Ye Shenkong aside, only to find that the other person also showed an unprecedented serious expression that she had never seen before.
Sure enough, even Lord Ye Shen thinks so?
Chiba Yui suddenly came to a conclusion.
At this moment, Ye Shenkong's gaze passed over the old man and landed on the small aluminum suitcase held by the bodyguard behind him.
His eyes were more serious than ever.
With just one glance, he accurately got the box's measurements.
Excluding decorations, the total length is thirty-eight centimeters, width twenty-two centimeters, and height twelve centimeters.
Calculated based on the neon standard of 10,000 yen, a suitcase like this, if filled without leaving any gaps, can hold approximately 5,000 Fukuzawa Yukichi cards, which is 50 million yen.
But if you take into account the beauty and layout, the amount of cash inside should not be more than 40 million yen...
Ye Shenkong suddenly came to a conclusion.
At this moment, the old man coughed lightly, put down his hands that were tied together, and spoke slowly.
"Presumably, these two are Sora Yagami and Yui Chiba."
"Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Jingu Wang, and I am the sixteenth generation head of the contemporary Jingu family."
"The two Jingu Shina who have already met are my useless granddaughters."
What?
This old man is actually the current head of the Jingu family?
For a moment, Chiba Yui couldn't help being shocked.
After all, the influence of the Jingu family in Tokyo is not inferior to that of the top chaebols, and they are a veritable giant.
Such a noble man would actually condescend to visit in person...
Is there anything important that deserves him to do this?
"This is our first meeting, Mr. Jingu, please take a seat."
Ye Shenkong still remained calm and stretched out his hand to indicate.
After he sat down, he spoke again.
"I think the Jingu family must have fully investigated us before coming here, so they won't make any unnecessary introductions."
"If there is anything, please tell Mr. Jingu now."
Surprised by Ye Shen Kong's directness, Jin Gongwang couldn't help but be slightly startled.
But then he nodded.
"Then, I'll get straight to the point."
"I came here this time for one thing only."
"That is, the selection ceremony of the Supreme God Miko."
"The Selection Ceremony of the Supreme God Miko?"
Hearing this word, Ye Shenkong's eyes suddenly flashed with thought.
Speaking of which, when they first met, Jingu Shina introduced herself as the candidate for the Supreme God Miko.
If I understand correctly, this should be a ceremony similar to becoming a regular employee...
"That's right." Shen Gongwang said solemnly.
"The supreme priestesses of the past dynasties were all selected by the priestesses of the four main families and many branches, and finally the best one was selected."
"It doesn't sound like something we can interfere with," Ye Shenkong said thoughtfully.
"Of course things are not that simple." Jin Gongwang's eyes gradually became serious.
"If you want to become a Supreme God Miko, there is one final and most important step."
"We must go under the sacred tree to strengthen the seal of the Tengu."
"Reinforcing the seal requires a huge amount of spiritual power, and it is definitely not something that one person can accomplish."
"So the selection of the Supreme God Miko in the past has always been done in pairs."
"Every candidate for the Supreme God Priestess will carry an accompanying Priestess as a supply of the Supreme Supreme Priestess's spiritual power."
"What they are responsible for is to provide spiritual power to the Supreme God Miko candidates when they run out of spiritual power."
"This process is called magic replenishment."
To mend magic? It's quite appropriate.
Ye Shenkong thought about it and then asked.
"So, there is a problem with the Demon Replenishment process of the Shrine President, right?"
"That's right."
Mentioning this matter, Jin Gongwang couldn't help but wrinkle the wrinkles on his forehead deeper, and said helplessly.
"Because Mariina's power is too strong, the other mikos in the family have very different compatibility with her. As a result, the efficiency of spiritual power conversion is too low, and they cannot effectively help her replenish her spiritual power."
"And during the process of mending demons, Jinna will be unable to control her desire for spiritual power. She will not stop until her own spiritual power is restored, or she absorbs the last trace of spiritual power from the accompanying miko."
If you are not in harmony with each other, will you be squeezed dry? It feels a bit dangerous... Ya Shenkong fell into deep thought.
"In short, the current Jingu family cannot find a suitable shrine maiden to accompany Marina."
"So this time, the failure of the Supreme God Miko Selection Ceremony is almost certain."
Jinguwang couldn't help but sigh.
"If Mr. Shengu is aware of this fact, then why are you coming to us?" Ye Shenkong raised his eyebrows.
"Of course I want to ask for your help, Yagami-kun."
Jinguwang raised his right hand.
"For this reason, we have prepared a small gift."
The bodyguard on his right immediately understood and put the suitcase in his hand on the table, showing it to Ya Shenkong.
The next moment, Ye Shenkong's eyes couldn't help but froze.
Stacks of neatly tied Yukichi Fukuzawa suddenly appeared in front of him, like mountains piled with money.
Seeing Ye Shenkong's shocked expression, Shen Gongwang felt more confident in his heart and said calmly.
"Here are 30 million in cash. If Lord Yagami agrees, it will all be yours."
"Then I wonder what Mr. Jingu needs my help for?"
Ya Shenzong forcibly took his eyes away from Fukuzawa Yukichi Mountain and looked at him again.
"It's very simple."
Jin Gongwang said slowly.
"I hope I can buy Yagami-kun one night to spend with Jinna."
ha?
Hearing this, Chiba Yui couldn't help but widen her eyes and couldn't help but confirm.
"Mr. Jingu, when you say spending a night together, you mean..."
"Of course they are mating for the purpose of reproducing offspring."
Jin Gongwang said frankly.
Click.
In an instant, Chiba Yui seemed to hear the sound of herself splitting in half.
How could...such a thing happen...
Not only is the temptation of 30 million yen, but the key opponent is Jingu-senpai...
How could Lord Yagami refuse such a thing...
"I reject."
The next moment, a calm voice came.
After hearing this, the joyful look on Jinguwang's face suddenly stopped.
He looked at Ye Shenkong in front of him in disbelief and said blankly.
"Why, why?"
"If Mr. Jingu thinks that I will sell my virginity just for 30 million yen, then he is looking down on me."
Ye Shenkong stretched out his hand and covered the suitcase in front of him.
How could such a thing happen...
At this moment, Jin Gongwang felt that everything was beyond his control.
"However, it is not completely non-negotiable."
Ye Shenkong muttered.
"unless......"
"Unless what?"
As if grasping at the straw of survival, Shen Gongwang asked quickly.
Regarding this, Ye Shenkong said seriously.
"Unless you are willing to pay for the whole year."
