Chapter 290: Encountered a sky-shattering start?

"Choo Choo Choo--"

This is the clear sound of birds.

The cry was very pleasant to the ear and made people feel relaxed and happy. As soon as Aize opened his eyes, he had a premonition that he had come to a good place. Even though his eyes were still closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

When he opened his eyes and saw the scene clearly, Aize confirmed his premonition.

He had indeed come to a good place.

At least the environment here is okay.

At this moment, he was at the end of a long flight of stone stairs.

In front of you are stone steps extending all the way downwards, with brick floors under your feet and a forest of trees surrounding you. Although it is not as dense as a forest, the environment surrounded by lush green trees still makes people feel calm and peaceful, as if even the body and mind are cleansed.

"I'm at... a shrine?"

Aize found that there were torii gates on both sides of where he was standing. He was standing under a red torii gate, and there was a shrine behind him.

The shrine is not large, but Aize can vaguely see figures in white clothes walking through it, proving that this is not a small shrine that no one cares about, but a place with a certain reputation and a certain amount of incense offerings.

At this moment, he was dressed in white and holding a broom in his hand, like an apprentice clergyman in a shrine, and seemed to be... sweeping the floor?
"…What kind of start is this?"

Aize couldn't help but complain.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had picked up a broom and done chores like sweeping the floor.

Not to mention the two worlds he had experienced before, just take the last world of Death Gods he had experienced. It only took him half a year to become the captain of the Gotei 13, becoming a Death God second only to the emperor. Ordinary nobles did not dare to provoke him and were rude in front of him.

His room was cleaned by his adjutant Momo Hinamori, and she did it on her own initiative, otherwise a deputy captain would not have to do such chores, let alone him as the captain, who had not done chores for decades.

The results of it?
Is it okay to become a sweeper at the beginning?

"By the way, where exactly is this place?"

As soon as this question arose, the background setting of this life experience appeared in Aize's mind.

According to the setting, he is not actually a clergyman here, but just a temporary helper.

His ancestors came from other places, or even from foreign countries. After settling here, they soon disappeared due to various reasons such as acclimatization. He was left alone here, doing temporary work with the help of enthusiastic neighbors and earning a little money to support his livelihood.

The reason I'm here today is to work as a temporary worker.

"So, I can't even be called a clerk, right?"

Aize just felt that he had encountered a devastating start.

Of course, compared with the previous world, this start should be considered okay?

After all, in the previous world, Aize was already dead when he arrived, with only his soul left. He entered the Soul Society after being hit on the head by an unethical god of death. However, the place he was exiled to was not a rich area, but the 80th District of Kita-Ryukon Street, a backward area where he had to snatch even a piece of bread from others and fight with a group of villains for a sip of water.

There is also the world of High School, where right at the beginning he was almost put on an operating table to be a guinea pig, and later he wandered around the world until he came to Juwang Town, where he finally had a place to settle down.

With this calculation, this start is actually... not bad?

"Well, that's not important."

Anyway, I never thought about choosing the role of my destined protagonist. The background setting is just a setting. There is no need to worry about it.

What really concerns Aize is that the place where he is now is called Kanto.

The shrine in front of him is called the Nanao Shrine.

"Isn't this just..."

When Aize was trying to figure out where this place was and who was in this place he was in, a figure slowly walked out from a shrine not far away.

She was a girl with very delicate looks and regular features.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a white tunic with small sleeves and a crimson pleated skirt. Her long straight light brown hair hung naturally behind her, and the hair on both sides of her cheeks was tied in white buns. She looked beautiful and fragile.

Judging from her attire, she was undoubtedly a shrine maiden.

Judging from his age, the other party is undoubtedly a high school student.

But when this young shrine maiden walked out of the shrine, the clergymen on the roadside, both old and young, actually stepped aside on their own initiative, making way for her while bowing to her. Looking at their appearance, their attitude seemed to be very respectful and courteous.

This is undoubtedly telling others that although this miko is young, her status and identity are not bad.

Aize knew her name.

"Wanli Gu Yuri..."

Aize found the other person's name from his memory and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"I never expected that I would meet one of the heroines in the original novel just after arriving in this world..."

Is this a good start or a bad one?
Aize himself couldn't explain it clearly.

"That should be considered good, right?"

No matter what, he met a psychic who would never appear in society from the very beginning and came into contact with the extraordinary world.

From this point of view, perhaps we can call ourselves lucky.

Thinking of this, Aize smiled suddenly, took the broom, and stepped aside like the clergymen.

But it was impossible for him not to attract attention.

Because someone came specifically for him.

…………

Yuri Manrigani is feeling very upset today.

This kind of restlessness had no signs or reasons, it just appeared suddenly, causing her, who was originally in the shrine and preparing to work, to leave the inner hall and come outside. "...Did something happen?"

Although there was no reason or cause, Yuri Manrigai was very sure that some changes around him must have occurred that could not be ignored.

Otherwise, I wouldn't suddenly feel uneasy and unable to complete the schoolwork that I used to do normally.

If an uninformed person knew what Yuri Manrigai was thinking right now, he would probably think it was Yuri Manrigai's illusion, right?

However, if someone who knew Yuri Manrigai's true identity and her abilities knew about this, then the other person would not think that Yuri Manrigai was overthinking.

It was not for any other reason, but because the girl in front of him was Hime-mikoshi of Musashino, a high-ranking figure in the group of psychics that guarded the Kanto area.

The title "Yuan" is usually only given to the highest-ranking shrine maidens.

In the world of psychics and the magic world, Hime-mikoto is like a princess.

Since ancient times, Neon has had sorcerers or psychics who have inherited the art of spells, and Yuri Manguri is one of them.

What she is best at is her clairvoyance and clairvoyance abilities.

Therefore, the inexplicable uneasiness is most likely a sign received by Mariya Yuri, the shrine maiden, when some kind of change or event occurs.

In this apocalypse-like situation, even though she didn't know what exactly happened, Yuri Manrigai still felt uneasy and concerned.

Following the omen in his heart, Yuri Manrigani left the inner hall and came outside.

She had no destination, she was just walking around.

She didn't deliberately try to look for anything, but just let her thoughts wander and her steps moved forward naturally.

However, it was in this situation that she saw him.

"what……"

When he saw the figure holding a broom and preparing to leave, Yuri Manrigai suddenly understood.

That young man is the one I'm looking for.

"Wait a moment."

By the time he reacted, Yuri Manrigai had already called out to the other person.

"Ok?"

Aize, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked at Wanliya Yuri.

Upon seeing this, Aize couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

Because he keenly noticed that there was a brief moment of emptiness in Yuri Manrigai's eyes.

It wasn't looking at oneself, it was more like looking at some extremely distant place.

But even though this was the case, Aize felt like he had been found by the other party.

"A clairvoyance?"

Aize thought thoughtfully.

"Hello."

At this time, Yuri Manrigai also reacted and bowed to Aize somewhat stiffly.

"Hello, Miss Wanligu." Aize nodded and said, "May I ask what can I do for you?"

Upon hearing this, the first emotion that Yuri Manrigai felt was...disbelief.

There was no way. Aize's attitude was too natural, and there was no haste in his expression as if he was suddenly spoken to. His eyes met his own, and there was no hesitation or doubt in his eyes. They were full of frankness and calmness.

Because she was usually treated with a relatively polite and even respectful attitude at the shrine and in school, Yuri Manrigai couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had looked at her so calmly and with such a natural attitude.

Obviously, she is the person with the highest status in this shrine, while the person in front of her seems to be just a temporary sweeper. The difference in status between the two is too great, but Yuri Manrigai has a feeling that it is her honor that the other person treats her as an equal.

It's just...very wonderful.

"You are……?"

Yuri Manrigani decided to ask the other person's name first.

"me?"

Aize narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"My name is Aize."

He is no longer the captain of the 3rd Division of the Gotei 13, nor is he the genius of the Maou Academy who once left behind legendary achievements.

Now he is just a person who has just embarked on a new journey and is about to start a new adventure.

During this trip, he was just a temporary worker of humble origins.

But even this identity is only temporary.

Because he will soon be famous all over the world.

As long as... he can successfully kill God.

"------"

Just as Aize gave his name and the fighting spirit emerged in his heart, Wanligai Yuri was shocked all over.

Her eyes suddenly became empty again.
