Shiba Park was not far from Tokyo Tower. There were many beautiful shrines and monasteries near high-class hotels, schools, television stations, radio stations, ambassadors, and other buildings.
There were many small paths in that area.
Most of them were facing the street, but if one did not know, it was very easy to ignore them.
Walking on this complicated path, he unknowingly arrived at the stone steps.
There were a total of 200 steps, which was very high for the stone steps in the city center.
The Seven Heroes Shrine was very suitable to be located on such a high ground.
Although they would not fall into the forest, the shrine surrounded by green trees gave people a quiet and comfortable feeling.
In the courtyard, not far from the front hall, there was a shrine office built in a bungalow.
In that room, Yuri Wanli Gu was dressing up.
She was wearing a white dress and a red kimono skirt. She was facing the mirror with her long hair combed.
Her long hair was like the color of a lily and had a deep brown color. His hair color was not dyed, but was naturally very light. This had once made Yuri feel a faint sense of inferiority, but it did not matter now.
The most important thing was that the comb that was combing his hair suddenly broke.
"…It's bad luck. I hope nothing bad will happen.”
Yuri mumbled her thoughts that had no scientific basis.
He felt that there would be a bad omen.
It was best to investigate a little. This was something that ordinary girls could forget immediately, but it was completely different for her.
After dressing up, Yuri left the shrine office.
On the way to the front hall, he brushed past a few clergymen.
Yuri greeted them in return. There was a reason for his respectful and cautious behavior towards the 15-year-old witch.
In this shrine, Yuri Tenri Tani was someone with a higher status than anyone else.
"Oh, Maiden Yuan, nice to meet you. Can we chat for a while?"
Suddenly, she was stopped by a light-hearted voice.
Although she was called Yuan, there was no respect. He felt that his tone was a little funny.
The owner of the voice slowly walked towards Yuri. Although he was wearing leather shoes, he didn't make a sound when he walked on the sand.
Looking at the man's footwork, one would know that this was not something that ordinary people could see through.
"…Nice to meet you. May I know who you are?”
"Ah, I'm really rude. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Gan Po. It's my honor to be able to see the beautiful witch. We'll get to know each other in the future.”
Ganko reported his name as he walked over to Yuri and handed him his business card.
Yuri took a look at it.
On it was written the name of the winter horse. However, the problem was the title written below the name.
"The people from the Official History Writing Committee, why are you looking for me?”
Yuri asked in confusion.
He looked like a simple young man from the latter half of the 1920s.
However, to the emissary of the organization that controlled all of Japan's curse world…He had to be serious and careful in his contact.
"In the organization, there might be a spark that will become an unprecedented disaster for our country. Therefore, I wanted to borrow the power of the Witch Maiden. Although it was a little rash, please forgive me.”
"I don't really know how to do anything other than being a domestic helper.”
"You are too humble. Although there are several Haruka witches in Musashino, there are very few people who are as good as you at using Reiki Vision charms. Besides, there were two other reasons.”
He was a spiritual power practitioner who had inherited the ancient Japanese art of magic.
Ten Thousand Miles Valley Youli was one of them.
"You are Musashino's Haruka Witch, and you have the obligation to assist our Official History Committee. At this time, he would put his doubts aside and listen to the details.”
"…Of course. So, what do you want me to do?"
"A young man from Japan went to meet him. He wants you to confirm it. Was that young man called Shiki Krassanagi the real Campione?”
“Campione？”
In Europe, the title of the most ferocious demon king.
Yuri was shocked when she heard the unexpected word.
- -
This name always reminded her of the Demon King's Evil Eye.
"You should already know the reason why I chose you, right? When you were young, you had the experience of meeting a person named Dena Star Ryu. It should be easier to appraise Campione.”
"... Yes. The so-called Campione was known in Japan as the manifestation of the berserk ghosts and gods, the incarnation of the taboo Devil King. However, it was hard to believe that in order to make a man a king, didn't he have to kill a god? -- The person who could cause such a miracle was in this country?”
More than five years ago, Yuri met Campione in a small country in Eastern Europe.
デヤンスタール·ヴォバン。
Even European magicians would feel fear when they heard that name, and they would sing the holy words of prayer.
Yuri would probably never forget the bright tiger eyes and emerald eyes in the dark.
Later on, he heard that this demon king had the power to turn living people into salt with just a glare, and his fear of him increased even more.
"I agree. Therefore, we don't want to believe that White Rise Grass is real. However, based on the information he had accumulated, he could no longer think so.”
Gan Po shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly.
" According to the Greenwich Sage Conference, in March this year, Shiki Kasanagi defeated the Persian God of War, Veleslana, in Sardagna, Italy, and obtained the qualification to be king. After that, he visited Italy four times. Every time he appeared, there would be large-scale sabotage. It was obvious that there was some cause and effect. Do you know the commotion in Rome last week?”
"…Could it be that the explosion in the colosseum is a terrorist activity?”
"On the day of the terrorist activity, Shirohiro Kasanagi got up and went to Rome. It was the young Temple Knight of the Magic Society's Red Copper Black Cross, Erika Brauntree, who had called him. Moreover, it's said that he brought a god relic with him when he returned to the country…"
"God relic-"(which was the stone)
Yuri was a little concerned about those words.
She possessed the charm power of the Haruka Maiden-- He couldn't underestimate it, as it would bring about unexpected disasters.
"Please tell me in detail about Bai Qi. Did he learn some spells like us? Or learn martial arts?"
Yuri asked after making up his mind to solve this matter.
Of course, the Demon King was terrifying. Of course, he didn't want to meet her if he could. However, thinking about the pain of many people, it was probably fate that he was named here.
"He is a layman in spells and magic, and the same goes for witchcraft. According to common sense, not to mention fighting with gods, it could be said that they had nothing to do with gods.”
Gan Po took out a document from his bag and handed it over.
He took a look.
It was an investigation report about Shiki Krushanagi. Personal information, experiences, activities in Italy, abilities as a Campione, etc. were recorded on it.
"If he's strong, then he's definitely not an ordinary substitute for Japan in the World Little League. He seemed to have been one of the few four-batters in Kanto during his high school days.”
"Senior, what are you saying?"
"A game with hard balls, a baseball league for middle school students. I heard that he injured his shoulder in the practice match of the representative of the house, so he retired like this.”
"I see…Oh right, why did you choose to fight the God of Persia in southern Italy? It felt like a place with a different impression.”
"This might be related to Alexander the Great. The great emperor wanted to rule over the peaceful co-existence of the Greek and Persians, thus creating a Hellenistic culture. The cultures of Europe and the East had influenced the Japanese beyond imagination.”
Gan Po's words were mixed with a bitter smile.
"Veleslana can be said to have the same status as Indra in Indian mythology. In fact, in Alexander's era, the Hero God Heracles might have been one with him. For example, wasn't he given the Greek name Artagnes? After the death of Alexander the Great, some of his subjects gave up on going to Pompeius and moved to what is now Southern Italy, so I don't think it's a completely unrelated region.”
Yuri listened to the explanation while flipping through the information.
Suddenly, he noticed a picture of a blonde girl in the photo…even Yuri of the same sex would find her face very beautiful and memorable…
"Ah, that girl is Erika Brauntry, the girl who is thought to be the lover of Shiki Kusanagi. It was said that he was a genius in sword and magic, a magician from a prestigious family.”
"Lover?"
Yuri couldn't help but be speechless at this immoral word.
"The Red Copper Black Cross soon learned of the importance of Shiki Krassanagi and sent her. Using the ace genius child of the association, as well as his deep bond with her, could be said to be a rather appropriate strategy.”
"Just because of this reason, you call yourself your lover? It was too unclean! It was too immoral! This was absolutely wrong! Using the power of the Demon King to restrict the freedom of women was not allowed!”
Yuri stared at the picture of Shiki Krassanagi attached to the information.
Although she was a witch with only a meager strength, she could not acknowledge such a tyrant. This determination and righteous anger made her fear of Campione gradually fade.
"In that case, there are two reasons for entrusting this matter, right? Can you tell me the other one?”
"Ah, of course. I hope it's all a coincidence-"
Hearing Ganko's answer, Yuri was stunned by this wonderful fate.
He did not expect that White Rise was in such a place.
Several days had passed since he returned from Rome.
On Thursday, half of the week had passed, Shiki Krassanagi was enjoying his free time after school.
After leaving his high school, he took a long detour and set off on his way home.
The jet lag was finally over, and he was in a good mood. Alas, when he thought of the Gorgon's Stone sleeping in his closet, he felt depressed.
In fact, after returning to China, he tried different methods to destroy that stone.
The result was the worst.
After all the hard work, it still couldn't cause any cracks.
In that case, Erika did tell him before they parted.

Bai Qi was unhappy with the ridiculous situation surrounding him as he continued on his way back.
Nezu, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, was where the Grass Naga family lived.
There was a shopping street near the subway station. There was a second-hand bookstore in that area.
That was Baiqi's home. After the owner's grandmother passed away four years ago, she naturally closed down.
However, even in the past, it could be said that it was in a state of opening and closing.
No matter what, there was not even a single comic book or other book. There was not even a second-hand bookstore around Jimbo-machi that could not keep up with the trend.
From then on, the Grass Naga family no longer ran the family business until now.
By the way, the Nezu 3-chome shopping street still had the style of a commercial artisan residential area in Tokyo.
As a local resident, the guardian had indeed been criticized by many people. It was indeed a very old building. It gave off the feeling of shops and houses from the Shōwa era.
