Truth is everywhere within range

Tokyo.

Shinjuku.

In addition to the building of the Spiritual Master Association, in the reception hall.

"This is the previous report from the old god. I carefully sorted it out according to my own memory. There should be no problem."

Qiao Qiao handed the thick report to Miss Sakura.

This is a report about the old god Net discovered in Yamanashi Prefecture. According to the description of the first discoverer Qiao Qiao, this old god was named Net.

According to Ii Masaharu, naming the old gods is a very important act.

Human beings will be afraid of formless and nameless things, but if they can be described, named, and even quantitatively analyzed, then the old gods will no longer be scary.

This coincides with Qiao Qiao's point of view.

It is a pity that the exorcists have not been able to capture a living old god for testing. When they meet the old god, either humans will be caught and crushed alone, or there is no way to keep it, and they can only completely destroy the old god. wipe out.

Research on the corpses of the old gods has yielded limited conclusions. After all, many things look completely different with and without spiritual power.

Apart from the spiritual master's understanding of the old gods, there is still a long way to go.

"Qiao Sang is really working hard."

Ms. Sakura checked the table of contents and page number, and put the report away.

"But the reward this time is very generous, I think it's pretty good."

Qiao Qiao received a reward of 50 million yen for this commission, and he could also shoot with anti-tank missiles. For him, it didn't matter how much the commission was.

"But Qiao Sang is going to school, remember, the third semester should be a practical project?"

Miss Sakura said again, glancing at February 14th on the calendar.

School will reopen on January 9th. At this time, most students will go for practice and will not return until early February.

Ordinary students also need to carry out social practice arranged by the school, which happens to end on Valentine's Day.

This year’s Valentine’s Day may be unexpectedly tragic.

Miss Sakura suddenly had such a premonition.

"Ah, speaking of this, Miss Sakura, are there any shrines where I can go to participate in practical projects? To be honest, I haven't found a shrine that I can go to yet."

Qiao Qiao was just about to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect Miss Sakura to mention it first.

"For ordinary shrines, they would probably be afraid of Qiao Sang."

Miss Sakura nodded sympathetically.

After all, he is a man who has even been to hell. If he provokes any powerful monsters and the shrine cannot be sustained, it will be over.

"It's so bald."

Qiao Qiao touched his head, and several hairs fell out.

"Well, in that case, I have a shrine that I can contact."

Miss Sakura said with some embarrassment.

"Really?"

Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right, but Qiao Sang, you have to be more careful about it."

Miss Sakura's words were unclear, which made Qiao Qiao a little confused.

"What kind of shrine is it?"

he asked curiously.

He can talk and laugh even with Amatazununjen at Atsuta Shrine. There is no other shrine in the entire country that he can't handle.

"It's Ise Shrine."

Miss Sakura replied.

On January 9th, the short winter vacation ended. After a brief half-day at school, the high school students at the High School Affiliated to Fengcheng University submitted their practice plans and then left each other to go to their practice locations.

"Hey, where are Qiao Sang going? If there is really no place to take Qiao Sang, I might be able to ask the Lord Palace Secretary for mercy and let you come to our Tosho Palace for a month."

Natsume Shishi saw Qiao Qiao who was pushing a scooter and was about to leave the campus, and talked to him.

"Well, I already have a place to practice."

Qiao Qiao looked at the letter of introduction in his hand.

"Where where?"

Natsume Shi was a little surprised. He had heard that Qiao Qiao had been rejected by almost all shrines before. Unexpectedly, he had already found a shrine that was willing to let him practice?

"Yes, it's Ise Shrine."

"?"

Natsume Shishi saw the envelope of the letter of introduction in Qiao Qiao's hand.

It is indeed the name of Ise Jingu Shrine's Young Palace Secretary, Fujinami Teruyoho.

"Wait, Ise Shrine?"

Natsume read the poem again.

Ise Jingu is a shrine among shrines and a shrine among shrines.

In the past, Ise Jingu was actually called Jingu, the highest shrine. It was only later changed to Ise Jingu to distinguish it from other shrines. To this day, Ise Jingu is mentioned in official documents. At that time, it was still called a shrine.

She looked Qiao Qiao up and down.

"I didn't expect you, Qiao Sang, to be able to contact the people at Ise Shrine. No, after all, it is a bit exaggerated that Ise Shrine would undertake such a practical project."

One really dares to go, the other really dares to accept.

horrible.

Natsume Poetry sighed.

"If you want to contact me, it's Miss Sakura's connections."

Qiao Qiao answered truthfully.

"Is it the Sakura love from the Shinjuku branch?"

The Natsume Poetry Shrine itself is in Ueno and is not under the jurisdiction of the Shinjuku branch, so it is natural that you will not go there on a normal day.

"right."

Qiao Qiao nodded and asked again.

"Is there anything strange?"

"No, no, it's better to say it was her words. There's nothing surprising about it."

Natsume Shi seemed to understand something, with an expression that was like that.

"What about the ones you have at home, Qiao Sang?"

She asked again, if Qiao Qiao was away from home for a month, leaving aside the bat and the deer, Sayoko would feel lonely.

"I asked Ariko to help take care of them, and she readily agreed. She even talked about the preparations and the training."

Qiao Qiao replied.

"?"

Natsume Shishi doesn't quite understand Qiao Qiao's thinking.

If these four people live together, will it trigger World War III?

She shuddered.

"Forget it, let's see you in a month, Qiao Sang."

Natsume Shishi waved her hand.

I hope there won’t be any news about the Ise Shrine being plowed down by artillery fire in a month’s time.

"Um."

Qiao Qiao also left the campus pushing his scooter.

After returning home, he packed his luggage, and carefully helped Kiriye prepare refrigerated blood for about a month. After explaining the matter to Sayoko, he took back the camera worth 300,000 yen from Suzuka.

Get on the Shinkansen and head to Mie Prefecture.

Mie Prefecture is located in the middle of Honshu Island and is part of the Nagoya metropolitan area. It is not too far from Osaka and Nara. However, the terrain is complex and mountainous, which limits development.

It is somewhat similar to Shimane Prefecture.

After all, apart from Tokyo and those major metropolitan areas, the rest of Japan is in the countryside.

Qiao Qiao knew very little about Mie County, the only one he knew was Ise Shrine.

“We still don’t know what the specific practical content needs to be.”

Qiao Qiao didn't have much knowledge of Shinto-related etiquette, so it was naturally impossible for him to become a temporary priest. He couldn't put on white clothes and scarlet hakama and become a shrine maiden.

"Speaking of which, how did Miss Sakura contact Ise Jingu?"

Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of it again.
