I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"No, this was the first time."

"This is the Kagura dance that I just asked Hanekawa-san to teach me today, and I've only just managed to connect the steps smoothly, so it's not very good."

"Hmm? Why does Jiuchong want to learn this in particular?" Bai Mujun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because I remember that shrine maidens always have to offer Kagura (divine music) before the gods during festivals, right? So I thought I'd practice first, so I don't hold them back later," Kokonoe Reina explained softly.

Shiraki Jun remained silent for a moment.

I think Kokonoe Rena is overthinking things.

Tenji Shrine has never had a tradition of performing Kagura (Japanese music) in recent years.

The reason is also very simple.

Previously, the shrine only had one priest, Shiraki Shun.

I doubt anyone wants to see him jump, right?

After all, this kind of sacrificial dance should be entrusted to the pretty and charming shaman.

But now

Not only did they add Reina Kokonoe as a shrine maiden.

Moreover, as the number of believers increases, Tenji Shrine will gradually develop and begin to grow into a large shrine.

Tenji Shrine has everything that other shrines have.

Thinking of this, Shiraki Jun nodded thoughtfully.

Perhaps it's time to consider building a Kagura-den (temple).

He looked to the side.

To the left of the worship hall, there is a large area of ​​land waiting to be developed, which can be used for construction.

From then on, they would offer Kagura (divine music) to the gods in the Kagura-den (temple).

However, that means that Shiraki Shun is facing another very serious problem.

No money.

Logically speaking, Bai Mujun, who had just become rich overnight, should have been financially well-off.

But after paying for the repairs to the main hall, all his savings were gone.

If they want to expand further, they'll have to find another way to raise money.

Shiraki Shun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Money really doesn't last long.

"By the way, Shiraki-san, Hanekawa-san had some things to attend to and left early. Before she left, she asked me to give you something."

Kokonoe Reina suddenly remembered something.

She got up and went back into the office, where she took out a somewhat antique wooden box.

It was covered with all sorts of different types of talismans.

This appearance naturally reminded Shiraki Shun of the clues about monsters that Hanekawa Yaya had mentioned yesterday.

Could this be it?

Shiraki Shun took it from Kokonoe Reina.

He looked down, his gaze fixed intently on the wooden box.

I feel like I've grasped the key to wealth.

Whether the Kagura Palace can be built, and how many floors it can have, depends entirely on this box!

He carefully peeled off the talisman, opened the box lid, and looked inside with a hint of anticipation.

stunned.

Inside the wooden box, there were no ancient talismans, bloodstained wooden plaques, or anything like that.

There was just a CD lying there quietly.

It's the kind without a cover.

Shiramu Jun was somewhat surprised.

He took out the CD and looked at it over and over again.

However, even under a clear perspective, no clue can be seen.

It's just a regular CD.

This

Could it be precious footage of early humans taming monsters?

Kokonoe Reina stared at the disc with some confusion.

"Mr. Shiraki, does this CD have any special meaning?"

After all, when Yuukawa asked her to pass it on, she gave several instructions and her expression was very serious.

Reina Kokonoe thought it was some kind of special magical artifact or a precious object like a shrine of a god.

But it's just a CD?

Bai Mujun pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Perhaps we'll have to see to know."

"If you're interested, you can come and take a look with me."

There happened to be a playback device inside the shrine.

You'll find out what it contains once you take a look.

Reina Kokonoe nodded and followed Shiraki Shun as the two walked towards the main hall.

We have arrived at this hall.

Shiraki Shun breathed out two breaths and put the disc into the god's PS4.

Kokonoe Rena also knelt down beside her.

In the silent main hall, the buzzing sound of the CD drive could be heard.

But the screen remained completely black.

Just when Kokonoe Reina thought the disc was stuck.

Suddenly, a series of disheartened clicking sounds came from the audio channel.

After a long pause, the sound finally came through intermittently again.

It was a very sinister and shrill tone, spoken in a resentful tone.

"In the sewers"

"Climbing machine"

Almost the instant the sound rang out, Kokonoe Reina's tail bristled.

She sensed a strong sense of crisis.

It stems from instinctive fear.

She looked at the god's PS4 with slight fear, as if she were looking at a terrifying monster rather than a machine.

This

The owner of that voice is definitely not human!

"It's alright." A gentle voice sounded in her ear, instantly calming the fear in Kokonoe Reina's heart.

Reina Kokonoe's tense body slowly relaxed as she looked at the composed Shiraki Shun beside her.

Suddenly I felt incredibly at ease.

As long as Shiraki-san is by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of!

At this moment, Shiraki Shun looked at the PS4 that was still playing and was somewhat surprised.

I noticed it immediately.

That voice contained demonic power!

It was this demonic power that gave the originally ordinary voice an effect akin to a mental shock.

Although the demonic power contained in the voice was very weak, it was enough to prove it.

This disc is indeed a product of monsters!

The information about the monster is hidden in those two sentences!

Shiraki Shun couldn't help but start to ponder.

In the sewer?

As far as he knows, Tokyo’s current piped drainage system first discharges sewage into the Edogawa River in the neon city, and then through the Edogawa River into Tokyo Bay.

Another key word is crane.

Such equipment can only be found in ports, right?

Taking both of these conditions into account, and also ensuring there is enough space for the monster to hide...

It seems like Tokyo Bay is the only option left.

It seems that Kanda Shrine and the other shrines think the same way.

Why haven't we found any trace of the monsters for so long?

Bai Mujun was somewhat puzzled.

"Huh, I think I heard something."

A soft, sweet voice suddenly came from inside the hall.
