99. There are still eight months before adulthood, what's wrong with being naive?
"Boom!"
After the thunder, a sudden gust of wind blew up the papers on the table.
The young priest responsible for reception and registration frowned and thought. The name seemed a bit unfamiliar, but it seemed that someone often heard it mentioned in his ears, which Asakusa Shrine is it? Isn’t there only Asakusa Temple in Asakusa? When did there be an additional shrine?
Come on...suddenly, he seemed to remember something and stood up suddenly.
"Are you laughing happily?" The little priest's expression became extremely strange.
"Well……"
Fujiwara Izaya thought to himself, who dares to joke about this?
"Is this a place where you can joke?" The little priest slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Today is the Board of Directors meeting. It is a solemn day. Which family do you belong to? Who is the elder? Call him out.
!”
"I really come from Asakusa Shrine." Fujiwara Izaya said somewhat innocently.
"Take me to see your elders!" the young priest shouted angrily.
He has no ill intentions towards Fujiwara Izaya.
His current fierce attitude was just because he was temporarily angered by Fujiwara Izaya's words.
Just now, he was looking at this perfect young couple, imagining their sweet love in the future. But now this boy said they were from Asakusa Shrine, which made him feel as angry as if his idol had broken into the house.
How could such a perfect person like you be from Asakusa Shrine!
There is only one priest at Asakusa Shrine, and he is a monster. It is impossible. You absolutely cannot be a monster!
"Uh, um," Fujiwara Izaya cautiously raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "My elders are in the sky, are you sure you want me to take you to see them?"
The little priest looked at him like an idiot: "Editor, please continue to make it up for me."
"..." Hoshimi Rinko lightly covered her lips to hide the smile on her face.
She's not the kind of person who likes to laugh.
But every time she was with Fujiwara Izaya, something would always happen that made her want to laugh.
"This mage," Fujiwara Izaya looked at the little priest and said seriously, "I am indeed from Asakusa Shrine, and my name is Fujiwara Izaya."
The young priest took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to call the adults to teach him a lesson: "Which family are you from?"
"Asakusa Shrine!" When he said this, Fujiwara Izaya's expression was very serious and resolute. Just like the bamboo on the cliff, no matter how strong the wind is, he just stood there, facing the abyss without changing his expression.
Stand erect.
The little priest felt that he was going crazy.
Today's conference is held to criticize and deal with Fujiwara Izaya. Now you come and say that you are Fujiwara Izaya. Do you think this is funny?
This isn't fun!
If you don't make it right, there will be an accident!
Wailing in his heart as to why he was so unlucky, the little priest looked at Hoshimi Rinko for help, and slightly begged: "Master Hoshimi, please ask him to stop teasing me."
"I don't know him."
Hoshimi Rinko said something lightly, and then took a step forward.
When she was about to cross the threshold of the hall, she didn't forget to turn around and wink at Fujiwara Izaya playfully, as if to say, "Come in quickly, I don't want to wait too long."
"..."
Senior sister is also a bad woman!
Fujiwara Izaya murmured in his heart and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
That is the certificate of Asakusa Shrine.
The little priest originally planned to stuff the paper directly into the mouth of the hateful boy, but when his eyes glanced at the writing on it and the red seal, his expression was startled, and then he instantly picked up the paper and put it in front of his eyes to make sure that he didn't have it.
Wrong.
The material of the paper, the printed pattern, the font on it, the bright red seal... After confirming everything, the little priest took a deep breath and his legs felt a little weak.
"you……"
He looked at Fujiwara Izaya, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak at all.
"Can I go in?" Fujiwara Izaya asked kindly.
"Wait, wait a minute..." The little priest showed a smile with great difficulty, and said with a trembling voice, "Wait here, I will go in first to report, please don't break in without permission..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and ran towards the solemn hall.
Fujiwara Izaya picked up the paper, carefully put it into his arms, then stepped directly into the store door and walked straight towards the high platform in the middle.
※※※※※
After the voting session began, the hall fell into silence.
Miyaji Fujishima held the pen and used his divine power to draw an "o" representing agreement on the paper, then put the pen down. Soon after, the voting results would be automatically tallied, announcing the final result of today's first issue.
The next second topic is to discuss how to deal with Fujiwara Izaya.
Everything went smoothly.
Miyaji Fujishima raised his head and looked around at the candlelight falling in the main hall.
The atmosphere is peaceful, everyone is focusing on the voting process, and everything will be settled soon. There is no such thing as doing everything to fulfill one's destiny. In this hall, he may be the most confident and most eager to ascend to the position of chairman.
Man. And he was convinced that the final position would definitely belong to him.
Glory to Inari God!
Reciting the slogan silently, Fujishima Miyaji smiled, as relaxed as the flickering candlelight.
Takagi Miyaji, who was sitting in the seat opposite him, saw him smiling, so he laughed too, even more relaxedly than him.
What is that old guy so happy about... In the candlelight, Fujishima Miyaji raised his head and looked at Takagi Miyaji with some confusion in his eyes. After frowning and thinking for a while, a stern look flashed in his eyes and he looked at Takagi
The palace minister gave him a threatening look.
'No trouble today!'
To this, Takagi Miyaji could no longer read back.
One of his hands was in his pocket, holding the photo tightly.
No matter what the witness is, after all, it is not as reliable as physical evidence. The only person who gave Fujiwara Izaya the fatal blow was me, Miyaji Takagi. Even if your Inari Shrine is more powerful than my Hakusan Shrine and has more people than my Hakusan Shrine, this one
I, Hakusan Shrine, will definitely get a share of the credit, even if Amaterasu comes down to earth, I can’t stop it!
The soft light of the candle became a little unstable through the clear paper of the lantern.
There was a commotion at the entrance of the hall, and the young people near the door turned to look over. When they discovered that it was a cold and beautiful witch, a discussion suddenly broke out in the table.
"Who is this?" asked a junior from another branch.
"Other than Hoshimi Miko, who else can be so beautiful?" the local junior replied proudly.
"She is Rinko Hoshimi."
"Famous is not as good as meeting him. He is much prettier than the rumors say."
"I heard that she is about to be promoted to the rank of general?"
"Oh my God!"
"She has just turned eighteen..."
Amidst the countless praises, even the faces of the few young people in Kansai who looked unruly became solemn.
In the history of Japan, the Kansai region has long been the political, economic and cultural center of the entire country. Both Shintoism and Buddhism were developed with Kansai as their base. Those large shrines and temples with a long history have been
He holds the decision-making power on religious affairs and has always looked down on outsiders.
After entering modern times, the economic and political centers began to shift to the Kanto region.
Gradually, the Kanto region has risen, while the Kansai region, apart from being a cultural center, lags behind the Kanto region in all aspects. When the economy improves, the local shrines in Kanto will have more money. With money, development will naturally be good.
Especially after World War II, under the leadership of the Kanto region, a brand-new Yin Yangliao was established.
The Kansai region has gone from being aloof and monopolizing power to now having to sit on an equal footing with the other four divisions. The gap is huge. But in the face of the general trend of economic transfer, they have nothing to do.
We can only scold the people of Guandong for being nouveau riche, and at the same time send people to open branches here and rack their brains to make a small amount of money from the people of Guandong.
The younger generation's discussion did not disturb the elders, and the voting continued.
Rinko Hoshimi, who was being discussed, did not change her expression. After taking her seat in the audience, she had a calm expression on her face. She did not care about what others thought of her and did not pay attention to what others said to her.
Sitting there, she was like a quiet orchid, with the lantern's light shining on her smooth skin, outlining her perfect lines.
"snort!"
Kasahara Asuka pouted unconvinced.
To be honest, she is also a genius miko, and she is also a rising star. It is just because she is two years younger and has two years less training time that she cannot beat Rinko Hoshimi, and she takes away the title of number one among the younger generation.
!
In ten years, no, in five years, Asuka will definitely be able to trample Hoshimi Kobichi under her feet!
After a moment of commotion, the palace just returned to quiet.
At this time, there was a sound of cramped footsteps and the panicked voice of the young priest who was receiving the reception.
"Report——"
"Dear Chairman, Fujiwara Izaya from Asakusa Shrine is here——"
Like thunder on the ground, the entire hall suddenly exploded.
There were countless gasps, and countless surprised eyes looked towards the palace door and fell on the young man.
The name Fujiwara Izaya is not well-known among the other four branches of the Onmyoria, and the name Asakusa Shrine is almost forgotten. Even these people in Kanto look confused when they mention it.
Except for some big shots in high positions, most ordinary clergymen know nothing about Asakusa Shrine except that there is a mission maniac.
There was vigilance and probing in his eyes as he looked towards the palace door, but also an extraordinarily solemn look, which seemed to be very fearful.
How dare he come - this is what most people think.
Why did he come? This was Asuka Kasahara's idea.
"Senior~~"
The little shrine maiden Kasahara screamed happily, jumped out from the auditorium, stepped on wooden clogs and ran towards him. The crimson skirt swaying with the air flow looked like the fins of a goldfish swimming in the air.
On the high platform, Mrs. Kasahara looked at her little daughter's lack of girlish reserve, and couldn't help but feel a headache and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Senior, senior~~"
Just like crossing a river on rocks, Kasahara Asuka jumped up to Fujiwara Izaya, her long orange hair swaying, looking very dazzling.
Everyone can see that she is in a very good mood now.
Her dancing steps were like stepping on a trampoline, and her little lips were as soft as the sweetest marshmallow, and her slender eyebrows seemed to be so happy.
It took off normally.
"What are you doing out here?" Fujiwara Izaya blamed.
"Senior is Asuka's man!" As he said this, Kasahara Asuka grabbed his sleeve with one hand, extended his other hand very impolitely, and circled the hall clockwise with his fingers, full of threats: "As long as Asuka is here
,No one can bully seniors."
The girl's clear voice was like an oriole singing, but the profound meaning contained in it immediately silenced the entire hall.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, some curious and more surprised.
According to rumors, Chairman Kasahara's youngest daughter has a spoiled personality, and her eyes look like they are in the sky. She sees everyone as trash. People who have never met her will shy away from the name, but once they see her, they realize that this girl has a long face.
She is extremely beautiful, her eyes are as beautiful as glass.
Personality and so on are just rumors, but appearance is indeed heartwarming to the naked eye.
Many young people from out of town who came to see the excitement suddenly became more active.
But what do the young people in the Kanto region think? Not to mention that they all know more or less what kind of person Kasahara Asuka is. She only plays with Fujiwara Izaya, and even pesters Fujiwara Izaya like a bug.
At one point, they cut off their thoughts.
Fujiwara Izaya's eyes swept over Chairman Kasahara on the high platform.
Seeing that there was only helplessness in her eyes but no warning, he reached out and rubbed the school girl's head, and said in a kind voice: "Don't act nonsense on such a solemn occasion."
"It's not nonsense at all!" Kasahara Asuka grabbed Fujiwara Izaya's sleeve, looked at him with wide eyes for a while, and then smiled cutely, "With mother sitting up there, no one dares to scold Asuka. Asuka
Now that we are walking together with our seniors, naturally no one will dare to scold them."
"Isn't this still nonsense?" Fujiwara Izaya shook his head helplessly, "It's not good to bully others by relying on your family's power."
Kasahara Asuka pouted and asked aggrievedly: "Senior, you don't like it?"
"I..." Fujiwara Izaya opened his mouth, his expression was tangled for a moment, and he said honestly: "You come out to protect me like this. If I say that I don't like it against my conscience, I will be struck by lightning."
Kasahara Asuka's eyes lit up: "In other words, senior likes Asuka!"
"Correction," Fujiwara Izaya stretched out his hand to rub her head again, "I like the way you protect me, not you as a person!"
"There's no difference, they all like Asuka." Kasahara Asuka said cutely, with a sweet and sweet girlish voice, just like a newborn deer.
When Fujiwara Izaya touched her head, she raised her feet affectionately and rubbed her head against his palm.
In the audience, Hoshi saw Rinzi frowning slightly and snorted with dissatisfaction.
So angry!
But still keep it classy.
So, Hoshimi Rinko smiled gracefully while repeating two words in her heart... Bichi, scumbag, Bichi, scumbag...
On the high platform, Mrs. Kasahara quietly leaned over to Mrs. Hoshimi's ear, covered her lips with her hands and whispered to her: "Did you see that? I've already said it. When it comes to daughters, my Xiangxiang is as good as yours Rinko."
"Same as you!" Mrs. Hoshimi said unconvinced.
"This is my good gene," Mrs. Kasahara's voice was full of showoff, "Why do we have to wait for boys to take the initiative in everything? Girls can also take the initiative, hehe~~"
Hearing the fox-like laughter, Mrs. Hoshimi glared at her daughter with a steely look.
"..."
Rinko Hoshimi, who is beautiful alone, feels rejected by her own mother.
Unlike the two women chatting about junior gossip, the head of the Tsuchimikado family was trying very hard to observe Fujiwara Izaya, but when they met for the first time, apart from seeing his handsome face and calm demeanor, he couldn't detect any clues. So he asked
The old monk Hongwen next to him asked for advice, "Master Hongwen, this kid has been your neighbor for so long, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"Amitabha~"
Old monk Hongwen silently recited the Buddha's name and shook his head slightly.
"I'm not familiar with you," he said as if he was clearing the relationship.
As a monk, he only has Buddhism in his heart, and he does not want to get involved in these things, let alone be misunderstood by his former neighbors as having any unfriendly thoughts.
At the director's table, Fujishima Miyaji had a gloomy face, and an ominous premonition passed through his heart. In silence, he looked at his old rival Takagi Miyaji opposite, but Takagi Miyaji half-squinted his eyes, completely
The appearance of staying out of the situation.
Something weird...
Fujishima Miyaji frowned deeply.
Both Fujiwara Izaya and Takagi Miyaji looked confident... The more he thought about it, the more his heart palpitated. He originally thought he was the protagonist today, but now it seems that he seems to be just an insignificant person.
supporting role...
In the middle of the hall, in the empty corridor, boys and girls were still talking to each other as if there was no one else around.
"Senior, what did you do last night?"
"Killed a few monsters."
"Are monsters powerful?"
Fujiwara Izaya came close to her ear, lowered his voice and said, "Half-step Demon King."
"Demon King! Wow cool wow cool~" Hearing this, Kasahara Asuka was very happy. She rubbed her little head against his palm again and again, just like a cute kitten nuzzling its owner. She said cutely:
"Next time something exciting happens like this, remember to bring Asuka with you——"
"No!" Fujiwara Izaya said seriously, "Unless you get rid of the problem of falling off the chain."
"How can I lose my temper!" Kasahara Asuka blushed angrily, "Besides, senior is more amazing than Asuka imagined, so can't he still protect Asuka?"
"You are quite amazing." Fujiwara Izaya sighed, thinking that at the age of sixteen, you dared to stand up and threaten five or six thousand people. Despite the family background, this courage still moved him a little.
"Seniors are great people."
"Asuka is also amazing."
"Senior is even more amazing!"
"..." Fujiwara Izaya scratched his head, "Is it appropriate for us to praise each other like this?"
"Hmm..." Asuka Kasahara thought seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's very suitable."
Seeing the girl's stretched-out eyebrows and the cyan childish expression showing out of happiness, Fujiwara Izaya thought for a while and said nothing. He just felt happy and laughed.
Kasahara Asuka chirped again and asked: "Senior is so powerful, why didn't you show it before?"
"It doesn't mean much," Fujiwara Izaya said.
"Seniors regard false fame as floating clouds, which is admirable."
"Mainly because I'm afraid of getting into trouble."
"Why aren't you afraid of getting into trouble today?"
"The main thing is that I want the entire Yin Yang Residence to look up to me today."
"?"
Kasahara Asuka frowned and thought about this sentence.
The little face is very serious.
Of course, most of them are cute.
After a moment, her eyes widened with an expression as if she had just known Fujiwara Izaya for half an hour: "I didn't expect that senior would say such childish words."
"..."
Being called naive by a half-year-old little girl, Fujiwara Izaya smiled awkwardly, and retorted to her in a low voice, with a hint of grievance: "I have eight months until I become an adult, so what if I am naive...
"
The entire hall seemed to have forgotten today's theme, with two children still whispering there.
The atmosphere was so quiet that it was almost eerie.
On the high platform, Mrs. Hoshimi and Mrs. Kasahara looked at each other as they looked at each other as if they were childhood sweethearts.
"Is this okay?" Mrs. Hoshimi asked.
"I think it's pretty good." Mrs. Kasahara said.
"That's not fair."
"How is it unfair?"
"You should let Asuka be more reserved and compete fairly with Rinzi."
"Why don't you tell Rinzi to stop being reserved?"
"If Rinzi is no longer reserved, will she still be Rinzi?"
"Yes, that's right!" Mrs. Kasahara raised her eyebrows, "If Xiangxiang learns to be reserved, will she still be my Xiangxiang?"
These words made Mrs. Hoshimi roll her eyes in anger.
At the director's table, Miyaji Fujishima felt increasingly flustered. He felt that things would go off track if things continued like this. He hurriedly winked at a young man in the audience and asked him to quickly get it to break the strange rush in the hall.
, bring the situation back to today’s main topic.
Two seconds later, a cold voice sounded.
"presumptuous!"
"What do you two think of this place?"
This voice had the hoarseness of the voice-changing stage. It seemed immature and at the same time exuded an air of arrogance and coldness. It seemed that the person who spoke was born into a high-ranking position and was the pride of heaven.
