"Well, if there's Miss Ezuna, there should be no problem, but if you enter the mountains, you still have to pay attention to safety."
Ryoma gave serious instructions to the three people who were about to enter the mountain.
"I understand."
There was a smile on Ezuna's lips, and she nodded gently to Ryoma.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also looks very serious.
Now that I don't have enough strength around me, it's hard to say how much Miss Nobunaga can retain her fighting power. Perhaps my biggest means of self-protection is the simple version of the divine seal that Miss Lawrence left on me in advance.
Load it first, then hold it in your hand.
"Then, please have a safe journey and say hello to Himihu-sama and Ichiyo-sama for me."
Ryoma bowed slightly and moved out of the way.
After walking through the mountain gate, the mountain road was dark, and the woods on both sides showed a cold black color. Only the road made of blue-gray mud slabs in the middle was a different color.
"In this forest, it looks like something is going to come out at any time. It can't be a hidden ghost..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched the back of his head and remembered the most famous legend that happened in Kurokawa Mountain, which was the story of Samura Anno defeating the great monster Amagakuki.
Hidden ghost in the sky...
It's not like the one waiting for him in the storm is Tianyingui...
Then, Mr. Anno Samura...?
Snap.
After setting foot on the mountain road, Fujimaru Ritsuka began to climb.
...
"Why are you doing this."
Drifting in the heavy rain, an angry voice came.
"Why do the things you represent, the symbols you represent - the things you leave behind in your history, allow you to make such a choice?"
It was a questioning voice, an unbelievable questioning voice.
Faced with this question, Shadow remained indifferent and just stood on the lake, quietly staring at the chained man.
"...At least give me a reason..."
The man's voice weakened involuntarily and he lowered his head.
"Look at this world, Hoshikuma Yukina."
Shadow spoke.
"As a Tenyin ghost, what can you see in this world?"
"And what can I see here?"
He raised his head.
The shadows in the sky were as thick as being able to crush a person, the rain seemed to penetrate the bones, and the sea of ​​​​fire seemed to burn everything.
"Aha......"
"I know, I know the world I created and the final outcome of all this."
"But I still created it."
"I am like a person walking in the desert and finally encountering a clear spring."
"...Xueina."
"help me."
He stretched out his hand and lowered his hand.
Facing Hoshikuma Yukina, facing Ten Hidden Ghost.
"...Let this dream continue for a while longer?"
Hoshikuma Yukina's voice was slightly choked for some reason.
"It'll be fine for a while."
"At least......"
"Let me be able to stand here and watch for a while. After all, this is beautiful no matter what...in this [singularity]."
There was a self-deprecating smile in Shadow's voice.
Snapped.
Shadow's hand was caught.
"I'll help you."
Hoshikuma Yukina has no other choice.
She could not deceive her heart no matter what.
I want to help Him.
You must go and help Him.
Here, I have to stand by His side, at least - I can really let Him see the world for a while.
Even if the final outcome is doomed destruction...
...
"Roar--"
With a roar, a wild boar rushed out from the side of the road, roaring and bumping into Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Bang!!!
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka and Oda Nobunaga could take action, Souna fired.
As she said, her shooting skills were very good. This shot hit the wild boar's head with great accuracy. When Fujimaru Ritsuka came to her senses, the wild boar's head had exploded and was lying on the mountain road.
The side is twitching.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face suddenly twitched.
I always feel that the image of Miss Soina is becoming more and more different from what I imagined...
"Have you actually started to attack the miko? Or are you just subconsciously not attacking the miko..."
Shina checked the wild boar carcass, her eyes a little solemn.
Witches are protected by mountain gods, and generally speaking, they will never be attacked by wild beasts and monsters in the mountains.
but now......
"Miss Soina, what's wrong?"
"We'll talk about it after we get up the mountain. After we get to the mountain... I'll tell you in detail. Now it's better to go up the mountain and go to the shrine."
Ezuna waved to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said nervously.
...
"Shrine...huh?"
Entering the shrine, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a moment of trance.
what is that?
Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
That's...mosaic?
Or something?
Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed his eyes again.
Under the huge torii gate of the shrine, there are many statues, including Jizo statues, but the statue of the envoy of the god enshrined in the shrine... Fujimaru Ritsuka cannot see clearly.
After seeing it, I could only feel that the vision in front of me was blurry for a while, and I couldn't see anything.
To be continued...
