Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Having learned the Autumn Water series of spells, they already considered him not to be human.

If this thing is exposed now, it will be even more difficult to explain.

Although all three of them were very kind to him, he tried to avoid any trouble he could.

"The diving suit was specially made by the Grand Palace, using psionic materials and engraved with many runes. As long as it doesn't encounter a very strong attack, it will be fine."

Aya Aizawa explained, "The only limitation is the oxygen cylinder, which can only last for a maximum of two hours before it needs to be replaced."

Do I need to get ashore to change?

Haruhiko asked casually.

"No need to bother."

Aya Aizawa shook her head and said, "Just let me know when you run out of oxygen."

"Is the cruise ship alright, left on shore?"

Haruhiko nodded and pointed to the University of Tokyo train not far away.

After they went to sea, there were no high-level psionicists guarding the cruise ship.

The underwater ruins are known to many in the Great Palace, and some people might take the risk.

"fine."

Aya Aizawa chuckled and said, "It's equipped with a weapon system, enough to deal with a fifth-tier psychic for a while."

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, it made sense.

With the power of the University of Tokyo, acquiring some lethal modern weapons would undoubtedly be no problem for them.

"Let's go."

Kaoru Aizawa interrupted their casual conversation.

Because Chiyo was already standing in the water.

She was the only one not wearing a wetsuit.

After all, she is a mermaid, so she doesn't need to. Returning to the sea is like returning home.

In fact, high-level psionicists can withstand the pressure of the seabed with their own strength.

But that would be distracting or a waste of psionic energy.

Kaoru Aizawa and Aya Aizawa are human, so why did they refuse to wear diving suits?

Chiyo unwrapped the bandages on her legs, revealing beautiful white patterns that seemed to breathe.

She slowly walked towards the sea.

Her slender, fair legs were tinged with a bluish-green color starting from her toes, until they completely covered her legs.

Haruhiko glanced at it and it really did look like some kind of gradient stockings.

The only downside is that it doesn't quite match Chiyo's clothes.

Haruhiko walked into the sea and gradually sank.

The wetsuit shuddered slightly at the chest, revealing a faint trace of psionic energy.

It's a talisman.

But unlike ordinary talismans, it is continuous.

Haruhiko felt like he was swimming incredibly fast.

In the sea, it resembled an orca, charging and crashing about.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a product of the fusion of high technology and psionic energy.

"Junior brother, follow me."

Seeing that he was somewhat excited, Aizawa Kaoru reminded him.

The sound came from the headphones.

Haruhiko responded and then followed Aizawa Kaoru.

The group reached the designated location and immediately began to dive down.

Normal humans can only dive to a maximum of three or four hundred meters.

But psionicists are different; they have specially designed diving suits that allow them to travel far beyond that distance.

“The Imperial Palace has already been investigated once before.”

Kaoru Aizawa, who was at the front, spoke up, "They discovered a gap in the seabed, which was the eye of the storm from before."

"Are we going to enter the ruins from the eye of the storm?"

Haruhiko understood what she meant and asked.

"Ah."

Kaoru Aizawa explained, "This ruin is quite ancient, and the original entrance could not be found in a short time, so we had to use this crude method."

"Little brother, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Aya Aizawa's cheerful laughter rang out, "Today, Aya-neechan is your personal bodyguard."

"Thank you."

Haruhiko thought to himself, "It would be even better if you could remove the 'small' part."

If it were Yukihime, she would never call him that.

After all, she knew it quite well.

As we continued to descend, the light in the vicinity became quite dim.

Just then, Chiyo took out a huge pearl.

The psionic energy spread, and the pearl lit up.

In an instant, the area within a radius of thirty meters became as bright as day.

Haruhiko lowered his head slightly and noticed that the diving suit was also glowing.

Although it can't compare to that pearl, the situation within a meter or two is quite clear.

Once you reach the seabed, pressure comes from all directions.

After the diving suit shuddered slightly, a layer of psionic energy rose to the surface.

Following the fluctuations of spiritual energy, Haruhiko sensed a spiritual energy source behind him.

He became increasingly certain that the wetsuit was definitely expensive.

It's called a diving suit, but it's actually a magical artifact.

Haruhiko looked up and around. There were many strangely shaped coral reefs and schools of fish he didn't recognize.

Soon, his gaze fell on the eye of the storm not far away.

A huge, dark hole, with no bottom in sight, like the eye of an abyss.

Cold and unknown, waiting to be explored.

Haruhiko discovered a phenomenon.

That means no schools of fish are approaching.

He immediately took advantage of his expertise in ventriloquism and listened to the reasons.

Danger?

Haruhiko didn't ask any further questions.

After all, the other three people would hear the question.

Moreover, he didn't think these schools of fish could provide any useful clues.

But is archaeology by psionicists really that reckless?

Haruhiko recalled what he had learned in class and asked, "Is there a way to determine the age of ruins?"

Kaoru Aizawa observed the eye of the storm and casually replied, "It's probably more than nine hundred years ago."

More than nine hundred years?

That was the end of the Age of Gods.

The first playthrough of the game is in the middle stage.

The period from the middle to the later stages spanned three hundred years.

Haruhiko's character, Hayate, only has thirty years in the game.

He now understood why he had no recollection of Chiyo.

It turns out they were not born in the same year.

There's a trap inside.

Chiyo took out a conch shell as she spoke.
