Instead of getting out of Shiba Park Station on the subway, he first searched for a map of the nearby area.
There was a very good guide before the war.
After yesterday's phone call, he learned from Shizuka that the meeting place was the shrine that he had heard of for the first time. Although he had told her the nearest station and the approximate route, it was still a little difficult to get there.
Relying on the guide to estimate the route, Bai Qi began to walk.
"Why the shrine? There should be an easier place to meet…They were students from the same school. It would be fine if they were somewhere in the school.”
"In that case, I seem to have heard of that person working part-time as a shrine maiden in some shrine. Of course, it was not because of money. It was probably to learn how to live in the world. Is that why you're reluctant to leave the shrine?"
Last night, the siblings felt strange.
In the end, Jing Hua's words made the guard very anxious.
"Then, let's decide on tomorrow's arrangements in advance. Brother, when do you plan to go? Do you want to go directly from school?"
"…Why did you ask such a question? This is my personal matter."
"Although my brother is a careless and slow-witted man. However, if he was alone with such a young lady, he might do something strange, right? I want to go too."
"No! She was not a primary school student and did not need a guardian.”
"... Yes. Would it be bad if I was here? As expected, he still planned to do something strange to Senior Ten Thousand Miles Valley.”
In order to convince Jinghua, who strongly requested to go with him, he spent a lot of effort.
In short, Baiqi planned to go to the meeting place alone. He went home and changed into casual clothes. He put the Gorgon in his bag and brought him along.
This might be an unexpected dangerous item.
The girl, Yuri Wanli, chose to meet him outside the school. She must have considered that this way, she wouldn't involve other students.
However, it was a failure to be suppressed by Erika.
Bai Qi, who was regretting his decision as he continued walking, finally arrived at the entrance to his destination.
The final obstacle was a very high flight of stone steps.
Panting lightly, he climbed up and finally arrived at the place where he had been waiting-Shichixiong Shrine.
After passing through the Torii, they entered the courtyard of the shrine.
The guardian was greeted by a young girl dressed in witch attire.
"Welcome, Lord Shiroki Grass. Please forgive my rudeness for calling you here as Campione.”
The witch lowered her head.
The contrast between the white clothes and the red kimonos was very eye-catching. The moment she raised her head, Bai Qi finally understood why Jing Hua would repeatedly say the word 'amazing'.
"I'm Yuri Wanli. I suddenly called your house yesterday.”
Her light chestnut hair swayed.
Youli of the Ten-Thousand Miles Valley was indeed the beautiful girl that the rumors said she was. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an exquisite face that looked calm and intelligent.
Among the people Baiqi knew, the only one with outstanding beauty was Erika Brauntry.
However, if they were to compare, Youli of the Ten-Thousand Miles Valley was equally matched.
If the other side could be compared to a large camelia, this noble girl could be compared to a cute cherry blossom.
"Ah, are you also a companion of those magicians? He seemed to have seen them all in Europe. It was the first time he met his companions in Japan.”
"Yes, I am. I think you might have misunderstood, but there's not much of a mistake in that understanding. I work in this shrine as a shrine maiden who guards Musashino. However, he also knew a little about curses.”
In that case, this was where she worked.
Bai Qi nodded and looked around.
"... Is there only the young lady of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley here? Is there no one else?"
If it was possible, he really wished that there were other people present.
It was too difficult for Bai Qi to be alone with such a beautiful girl.
"Yes, I am. I'm the only one here now. Even if I offend you, it's only my fault. If my lord is angry, please take it out on me.”
"That, Ten Thousand Mile Valley? What strange things are you talking about now?”
"If I anger your Demon King body, I know that my words are unpleasant to hear. But please don't step on innocent people who have nothing to do with this. Mercy and benevolence were the manners that a king should have. I'll bear all the blame myself.”
He was lectured by a strange respectful tone.
…Could this be some kind of advice? Was it like a loyal minister facing a tyrant and risking his life to teach him a lesson?
Baiqi thought that something bad was going to happen and immediately answered Youli.
"First of all, I have to say that I am very embarrassed by your deep misunderstanding. What do you think I am to you? I'm not the tyrannical Dong Zhuo or Nobunaga, I won't kill anyone!”
"…In other words, is it not enough to take away a life?”
The beautiful Witch Sang said something that did not match her words.
Why?
This girl looked very smart and did not seem to be a bad person. As expected of a young miss. Perhaps her thinking was different from ordinary people.
"That's not it. I'm a decent and civilized person. I don't like to do those rough things. I hope you can understand this a little."
"…Yes. I've already come to a realization. Even if you want to mock and toy with me, you can do whatever you want. This way, you won't be able to enjoy yourself, right?”
"I thought you didn't understand at all! I don't have the hobby of interrogating people!"
At this moment, Bai Qi noticed something strange.
Even if it was a magician, very few people would know that he was Campione.
The magician he met in Rome a few days ago saw power in the duel with Erika, and he was obviously skeptical.
"Why are you so sure that I'm Campione?”
"Because this is my power. My eyes are the spiritual eyes that can accurately interpret the mysteries of the world.……In the past, he had met Mr. Grass Naki's companion, Ren embanhou. Campione-I wouldn't mistake the incarnation of Devil King.”
Youli said confidently.
Furthermore, Bai Qi had also completely understood. This girl had met the rumored Demon King of Eastern Europe.
"Is, is that so? I've heard about that guy.……He felt like a demon king who couldn't keep up with the times. He should be a willful and strange old grandpa, right? A guy like that should be in the minority in Campione. I hope you don't put him together with me.”
There was only one Campione who knew him.
That guy over there.
He looked like a very happy gentleman with a Latino temperament. He was smiling as he slashed his sword over. He was really a man who had lost the right to be a man. However, as a person, he was indeed outstanding.
"You're too humble. I also know about the violent incidents you did in Sicily, Milan, and Rome. That level of destruction was indeed the work of the Demon King.”
"Ah, no, I accidentally broke it when I was venting my anger. Oh right, Ten Thousand Mile Valley, can you not use that kind of way of speaking? You and I are in the same grade, so there's no need to be so polite. I'll do the same.”
From the beginning, he had been treated with an overly respectful tone by girls of the same age. However, Yuri was surprised by this suggestion.
"Sorry, I'm not good at talking. I'm sorry... By the way, what did he mean by 'you're welcome?”
Sigh, was it not recorded in the Young Miss 'dictionary?
Baiqi could feel that the two of them were in different worlds.
"It means don't use honorifics. Because I call you Ten Thousand Mile Valley, you can directly call me by my name. It doesn't matter if it's Grass Nagi or Bai Qi, as long as you like it.”
"That kind of thing…will be very troublesome. Even though we are of different statuses, I have never called a man by his name.”
Youli said shyly.
Baiqi gradually felt that the two of them did not live in the same country.
"Status, which era is that? I'm not that great a person…Sigh, if you're not used to it, I won't force you. But, I can put it in a more relaxed way. In the future, I hope you don't address me as 'Your Lord'.”
"Ah... I will work hard.”
Bai Qi nodded at Yuri, who was secretly observing his reaction.
Being addressed as " Mister " by a girl of the same age was a hundred times better than being addressed as " adult."
"Then, Mr. Kushanagi, I have a request. I heard that you brought back a god relic from Rome. Can I take a look?”
Yuri, who had regained his serious expression, made a request.
"I don't mind that, but why would the student from the Ten Thousand Mile Valley know about Gorgon?”
"Mr. Grass Naki underestimated himself. Maybe it's not just Europe, the birthplace of magic? Even in Japan, there are related personnel. Rather than saying that they are interested in what you are doing, it's more like they are worried.”
"Are you worried…that there are already people watching nearby?”
Baiqi was shocked.
He had never thought that such a group would exist.
"I don't know if there's surveillance now, but I know that there are indeed Japanese investigators sent to Rome. The result of the investigation was that Lord Grassi was entrusted with something by the Italian magicians.”
"An investigator? Who sent him?"
"Of course, it's the Official History Committee.……Don't you know?"
Yuri gave a very long name.
In that case, he seemed to have heard of this name before. Bai Qi recalled his blurry memories…
It was when he was living in the residence of a reclusive European magician. According to Erika, he was still very surprised.
She said that there should be magicians in Japan as well.
Unlike Europe, it was a surveillance organization directly under the government. Most ordinary people did not know about the existence of that organization.
The name of the organization was-
"Official History Committee. Yes, I've heard of this name before."
"They are a secret organization that controls all of Japan's Cursemancers and Spiritual Power users. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, the National Congress Library, the Imperial Palace Hall, the Shrine Hall, the Police Department, and so on also recruited relevant personnel. Witches and clergymen who have the same ability to cast spells as me have the obligation to assist them.”
Magic, magic, magic-there were many powerful chaotic gods.
That organization completely refused to acknowledge the so-called correct historical facts of Japan.
In order to maintain the proper state of society. So let's call it the Committee for Official History, said Elektra.
"I was instructed by the committee to see if Mr. Grassi is the real Campione. Later on, he found out that they were coincidentally students from the same school and had an intimate relationship with Kazuhika.”
"It must have been tough for you guys in the Ten Thousand Mile Valley…"
Hearing those words, Baiqi felt a little sympathetic.
Perhaps it was because they were used to seeing those frivolous magicians from the Latino countries, Yuri and the others, who seemed to have a lot of difficulties, felt a little pitiful. At the very least, they would take a cooperative attitude towards this matter.
After making up his mind, Baiqi took out the Gorgon's Stone from his bag.
Obsidian. The portrait of a snake-haired banshee was engraved on it. -- Youli suddenly couldn't breathe when he saw that.
"Is this really a dangerous item?”
"Probably. It was an ancient, very ancient divine seal. The mark of the Serpent God, the mark of the great serpent…No, it was the spiral mark that revolved around Mother Earth.”
Even though he was squinting his eyes, Yui said.
"This is just my personal intuition. This medal might be an item unearthed in North Africa. Egypt, Algeria,…He kept thinking of those places.”
"Do you remember now? My friend calls it the Gorgon's Stone. Doesn't the Ten Thousand Mile Valley know more about this?”
"No, I don't. I know almost nothing about the divinities of Africa and Europe. He could only rely on Spirit Vision and spiritual perception to vaguely sense God.”
So, it seemed like Erika had said something similar.
Baiqi truly admired him.
The curse power that the Ten Thousand Mile Valley mentioned was an excellent intuition ability.
Of course, the possibility of her words being true was not high, but it was hard to doubt this young girl who spoke with a sincere and solemn gaze.
However, Africa was an unexpected place name.
Weren't Gorgon's Stone and Medusa from Greek mythology? It was probably just like how Geppesius saved the beautiful princess Andromeda of Namibia. That was the only reasonable thing to do.
Mr. Grassi, may I ask you a question?
