Tokyo, western end of Kanagawa Prefecture.
Among the small tribes deep in the Danze Mountains, there is a huge lake in a peninsula-shaped land.
The lake is crystal clear and has beautiful scenery. Although it cannot be seen now, it is usually a popular spot visited by anglers and mountaineers. It is quite a famous place in this Shenxu area.
This lake is the Shensuo Lake.
Around Lake Kamijo, there is an ancient shrine located in the mountains of Nishitanze that overlooks the reservoir.
It is a strange shrine that is not even sure to be a regular temple.
This shrine is none other than Kamiota Shrine.
The shrine is virtually unknown to the outside world.
However, its history is quite long, and its relationship with magic is particularly deep.
It is said that the person who serves as the palace minister of this shrine has tried his best to suppress large-scale magic disasters several times in the past, and has a close relationship with the government's magic agency. Therefore, every year at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, he comes here to visit her. There are quite a lot of guests, plus local believers who come to worship. During the New Year period, the witches will be busy preparing to receive those people, making this unknown shrine full of excitement that it does not usually have.
Under such circumstances, there is silence in the Kamiota Shrine today.
The lights in the main hall and the social office have been turned off.
I can't feel the slightest movement of people.
Due to the dense bushes around it, the territory seemed very dark, as if only complete darkness filled the surroundings.
The barrier that cannot be seen with the naked eye acts on the surroundings, telling others that visitors are not allowed to visit Kamiota Shrine this year.
There are only two types of people who can visit this shrine.
One is a soldier who is fully armed and dressed like a soldier.
They are members of the Self-Defense Force. They are equipped with the latest equipment for fighting magic. The guns in their hands are all effective weapons for killing demons. You can tell at a glance that they are well-trained.
There is another kind of person who is completely different from the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces.
They are few in number.
To put it more simply, there are only a few of them.
At this moment, they were in a side hall of the shrine.
"Okay, I understand."
The person who said such words was a girl with a graceful figure, who looked forward and backward, and had a rather proud figure.
The girl looks very delicate. You can tell at a glance that she is a beautiful woman with extraordinary beauty. However, she has long holy white hair that is reminiscent of the cute arctic fox fur. The atmosphere around her is also quite mysterious and full of beauty. With a fascinating taste.
However, the girl's tone is different from her beautiful appearance. She looks tough and old-fashioned, giving people a feeling of unknown age.
At this moment, the girl of unknown age was answering the phone. After listening to the report on the phone, she hung up the phone decisively.
"Well."
The girl muttered while thinking deeply.
"It's a bit troublesome now."
The person who heard what the girl said and responded was another person present.
"Is this a contact from the Lion King Agency? Bai Nai?"
The owner of the voice is equally old and domineering, but not as young as the girl. Instead, he is an old man of the same age as the voice.
She was an elderly woman who was dressed like an Aikido priest, with a straight back, long gray hair tied unmodifiedly into a bunch at the back, age-appropriate wrinkles on her face, and a rather dignified posture.
This elderly woman is none other than the shaman of Kamishota Shrine and the grandmother of the Akatsuki family - Akatsuki Sano.
And the girl he calls Hakuna is undoubtedly one of the "Three Saints" of the Lion King Agency and one of the strongest magic attack masters in Japan - Anbai Na.
Here are the people in charge of Kamiota Shrine, and the only outsiders other than the Self-Defense Forces who can operate within the shrine's territory, the magic attack masters of the Lion King Organization.
It was these two big shots who stayed in this side hall, and the rest were accompanied by two girls from the Lion King Agency.
They were two people in uniforms who looked like high school students, standing in the direction of the door, looking like guards or accompanying girls.
The one on the left is a man who is slightly shorter than 160 centimeters tall and has medium-length bob hair that exudes a pure aura. The bangs combed to the side are clipped with a bow tie-shaped hairpin. Behind him is a long, all-metal silver hairpin. Girl with sword.
The one on the right is a black-haired girl holding a silver Western bow. She is almost as tall as Yuri, but her hair is short. Only the sides are slightly longer, giving people a strong impression.
These four women were present. Two were sitting opposite each other in the side hall, and two were guarding the door. They seemed to have a clear status.
Under such circumstances, Anbaina and Akatsuki Sano discussed the call just now.
"It was a call from Yuan."
Anbainai told the contact person of the phone call just now.
"Yuando Yuan?" Akatsuki Sano nodded with a straight face, and said without any surprise: "Since it is the contact from the Genkami Island office, it must be something happened over there, right? "
"Yes, it is indeed troublesome." Bai Nai shrugged. He was obviously a young man compared to Akatsuki Sano, but his behavior unexpectedly made him feel like he was the same age as Akatsuki Sano, which made him say: "You should too You know, the boy who has a close relationship with your granddaughter and No. 12, the younger brother of the "Witch of the Gap", already knows what's going on here."
"He knows?" Xiao Fei Sano frowned and asked almost questioningly: "What's the reason?"
"It's very simple." Bai Nai looked at Akatsuki Sano and said, "Xian was suppressed by him. I had no choice but to confess everything."
"What?" Xiao Fei Sano was suddenly surprised and said in disbelief: "Is that "Silence Breaker" actually suppressed?"
This incident not only surprised Xiao Fei Sano, but also the eyes of the two accompanying girls at the door widened and their expressions were stiff, as if they couldn't believe that Xian Guyong would actually be suppressed.
After all, he is Japan's strongest magic attack master who even the True Ancestor is afraid of. He is the head of the "Three Saints" of the Lion King Organization. In terms of strength alone, he can almost be said to be at the top of mankind.
Such a character was actually suppressed. As a member of the Lion King Agency, it was impossible to accept it all at once.
But that's the truth.
"The other party is able to seal even the strongest vampire in the world. He can even awaken the disappeared god. He even received the protection of the god. The boy who was sent to grow up next to a demon killer is destined to be extraordinary. He will be... Suppression, although unexpected, is reasonable.”
Bai Nai accepted this matter faster than others, as if he was the eldest senior at the scene, and expressed it quite objectively.
"Such a person actually wants to intervene in this matter now. He is here for your precious granddaughter and No. 12. This is a big or small problem."
It really can be big or small.
If the other party really wants to pursue the case seriously, then the Lion King Agency will probably be left with nothing to eat.
On the other hand, if the other party does not want to pursue the matter, the matter will be over.
The problem is that...
"What should we do?"
That's the problem.
