The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Hmm?" Kiyoakiin Ena raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Amakasu Touma with a little surprise. "Mr. Amakasu Touma, why do you think so? I often practice in the mountains and don't know much about this king. I only heard some news. Could it be that the king is a cruel and tyrannical tyrant?!" After saying that, Kiyoakiin Ena murmured softly, "In that case, Yuri would be in..."

　As if he heard the last murmur of Seiakiin Hina, Amakasu Touma said, "Please rest assured, Miss Ena, Miss Manrigani Yuri is doing well now. The king and she have a good relationship, so you don't need to worry about her. Moreover, the king is not a cruel tyrant, it's just..." As if he remembered everything about Lin Xuan, Amakasu Touma sighed.

　"Just what?" asked Kiyoakihara Hina, looking at Amakasu Touma suspiciously.

　"That king doesn't have a good personality like King Kusanagi~~~~I'm afraid those people will think that king is like King Kusanagi." Shaking his head, Amakasu Touma sighed...

　"What grandpa and the others are going to do is not something Hina can change." Qingqiuyuan Hina sighed. For some reason, she always felt that inviting the king to the underworld this time was not the right decision.

　"Come on, take me to see the king, Mr. Amakasu Touma."

　"Let's go, Miss Ena."

　-

　Lin Xuan's home

　"People from the Official History Compilation Committee are coming to visit today? What are they up to?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at Wanligai Yuri, raising his eyebrows slightly.

　"I'm not sure~ This morning, Mr. Amakasu Touma suddenly came to the shrine and explained this matter to me, saying that he hopes you can agree." Shaking his head, Yuri also looked confused, as if he didn't know what Amakasu Touma wanted to do.

　"Really? Then let's meet them. I want to see what they want to do." Lin Xuan curled his lips and smiled.

　"Could it be that those old guys in the underworld can't help themselves and want to show their hand to me!" Lin Xuan thought to himself, narrowing his eyes slightly. "If that's the case, it's a good opportunity to see how powerful those old guys are. I hope those old guys don't pay attention to me, otherwise..."

　"I wouldn't mind having one or two more powers~~~~"

　After taking a sip of the juice in the cup, Lin Xuan grinned slightly and thought.

　--afternoon--

　"Are you here?" Lin Xuan suddenly murmured while sitting on the sofa. Just as Lin Xuan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

　"Come in." Lin Xuan said, controlling the wind and opening the door.

　"Sorry to bother you--" A voice familiar to Lin Xuan was heard outside the door. It was Touma Amakasu.

　"Hmm? Can you introduce me to the person behind you? Touma Amakasu." Looking at Ena Kiyoakihara who was following behind Touma Amakasu, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

　"This..." Just as Amakasu Touma was about to introduce Kiyoakihara Ena behind him to Lin Xuan, Kiyoakihara Ena took a step forward.

　"I'm Seiakiin Ena..."

Chapter 5 Invitation

　"I am Qingqiuyuan Hina, and I am here in the name of my grandfather to invite the king to the underworld for a chat. Look. Yarn, Chinese website." Gently lifting the hem of her skirt, Qingqiuyuan Hina said with a smile on her face, looking at Lin Xuan calmly.

　"Qingqiuyuan Hui, so~~~" Although Lin Xuan almost guessed Qingqiuyuan Hui's identity when he saw her for the first time, it was only after she revealed her identity herself that Lin Xuan finally confirmed it.

　Both are shrine maidens, but compared to Yuri, Kiyoakihara Ena has more of the gentle and elegant feeling of a well-educated rich lady. In terms of personality, it can also be seen that Yuri tends to be quiet, while Kiyoakihara Ena tends to be lively and playful.

　Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, grinned slightly, and said with a playful look, "Your so-called grandfather is probably the god hidden in the underworld, the owner of the sword you carry on your back - Susanoo."

　"Huh!?" Qingqiuyuan Hina looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. She didn't expect that Lin Xuan knew the true identity of her 'grandfather' and even knew the sword in the cloth bag behind her.

　"You even know this, you are worthy of being a king~~~" Qingqiu Yuan Hui narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Xuan with curiosity, as if she didn't know how Lin Xuan knew this.

　"As an 'outsider', if I don't know some local news, I won't know who is harming me if I get hurt in the future." Lin Xuan smiled with narrowed eyes, tapping the armrest lightly. At the same time, he glanced at Amakasu Touma standing next to Seiakiin Ena.

　As if sensing Lin Xuan's glance, Amakasu Touma suddenly felt cold sweat on his back, and kept complaining in his heart, "Hey, hey, hey~~~ Even if someone harms you in the future, it will be those old men in the underworld. Why are you glancing at me~~~ It's very scary!!!"

　"Your Majesty, you're joking. Who would have the guts to harm you? Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't have the strength to do it." He shook his head slightly.

　"This kind of thing - who knows?" Lin Xuan crossed his legs, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a mysterious smile, and said slowly.

　"Okay, sit down first." Lin Xuan said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

　"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the invitation to sit down." As she said that, Qingqiuyuan Hui Na sat down opposite Lin Xuan without any restraint.

　Unlike Seiakiin Ena, Amakasu Touma sat down with a bit of restraint. He had been frightened by the king before him many times. Every time he was with the king, Amakasu Touma felt like he was walking on a tightrope, and the slightest mistake would lead to his death.

　"Tell me, why would Susanoo invite me to the underworld?" Lin Xuan said slowly with his eyes slightly closed, tapping the armrest beside him rhythmically with his index finger.

　｛

　"Ena doesn't know why grandpa suddenly invited Wang to the underworld for a chat. Although Ena calls that existence 'Grandpa', Ena doesn't know what grandpa is thinking. After all, grandpa is a god~~~" Shrugging helplessly, Qingqiuyuan Ena looked at Lin Xuan with an expression that said I don't know either.

　"Is that so~~~" Lin Xuan murmured in a low voice, opening his eyes slightly.

　At this moment, the door that was originally closed was suddenly pushed open, and then Yuri in school uniform walked in.

　Yuri's sudden appearance attracted the attention of everyone in the room. After seeing Yuri, Seiakiin Hina raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yuri with joy.

　"Long time no see~~~ Yuri."

　As soon as he walked in and heard the voice of Seiakiin Hina, Yuri was stunned.

　"Ena!? Why are you here?" Yuri finally reacted and exclaimed.

　Although she knew that Amakasu Touma might bring someone with him, she didn't expect that Amakasu Touma would actually bring her with him.

　"Grandfather has instructed Hina to come and invite the king to the underworld for a chat."

　"Grandpa~Grandpa!? Could it be that old gentleman!!" Yuri exclaimed and looked at Seiakiin Hina in surprise.

　"Well, Yuri, you're right, it's that one." Looking at Yuri's surprised face, Seiakiin Hina smiled.

　"Why would that old gentleman invite Lin Xuan to the underworld?" Sitting gently beside Lin Xuan, Yu Li asked in confusion.

　'Ah~~ He even called the king's name directly, and sat next to the king so naturally. It seems that Yuri and the king have a really good relationship~~~~Then I feel relieved~~~' Qingqiuyuan Hina thought to herself as she glanced back and forth between Lin Xuan and Yuri.

　"Yuri, do you know Miss Qingqiuyuan?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at Yuri who was sitting next to him.

　"Yeah, Ena is my good friend~~~"

　"Is that so~~~" Lin Xuan responded softly with his eyes half closed.

　"Miss Qingqiuyuan, I accept your grandfather's invitation. I wonder when he will take me to the underworld? And how will he take me there?" Lin Xuan opened his squinting eyes, a serious look appeared on his face, and he said.

　"Grandpa said that if you, Wang, agree, he can take you over right away. He has already told me how to bring you to the underworld." As he spoke, Qingqiuyuan Hina picked up the long cloth bag placed on his thigh, took off the cloth bag, and took out an ancient long sword from it.

　"That guy is really thoughtful~~~" He carefully looked at the long sword that Hina pulled out of the cloth bag, "The sword of Ama-no-Murasakumo? He actually handed over a part of his power to you, and said that he trusts you, or should I say that he doesn't trust you?" Looking at Seiakiin Hina with amusement, Lin Xuan sneered.

　The Ame no Murakumo sword, as part of Susanoo's power, can give Kiyoakiin Ena a combat power far beyond that of ordinary people. At the same time, when necessary, it can also control Kiyoakiin Ena and make her completely obey Susanoo's orders.

　"Your Majesty, please stop trying to sow discord between me and my grandfather. After all, my grandfather is a god, and Ena is just a human." However, Qingqiuyuan Ena smiled slightly, seeming not to care about Lin Xuan's provocation.

　"Is it--"

　Lin Xuan stood up and said to Yuri, "I might be back late, so don't wait for me for dinner."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan thought about Qingqiuyuan Hina.

　"Take me there—"

Chapter 6: The Netherworld

　"Take me there—Miss Qingqiuyuan. Look at the Chinese website for wool."

　"I understand, King." As he said this, Kiyoakiin Ena gripped the hilt of the Ame Murakumo sword with both hands and injected cursed energy into it.

　"Buzz!!"

　As if attracted by the magic power injected by Ena, a surge of cursed power overflowed from the dark sword body of Ame Murakumo. At the same time, a thick darkness overflowed from the sword body, engulfing the surroundings of the sword body.

　As the sword-wielding person, Qingqiuyuan Hui was the first to be swallowed by the darkness. Lin Xuan, who was standing beside her, looked at the darkness that was constantly swallowing up the surroundings. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he did not move, but let the darkness swallow him.

　After being swallowed by the darkness, Lin Xuan only felt that he was in a space completely made up of darkness, without a trace of light. Then, a dizzying feeling attacked his consciousness.

　……

　After being swallowed by the darkness, when Lin Xuan came to his senses, he found that he was no longer in his home, but in an unfamiliar place.

　Glancing around, Lin Xuan sniffed the air. The scent of soil and trees was strong, and there was a gurgling stream not far away. It was a great place for a walk, if the weather was good, of course.

　Unfortunately, the weather at this time was not good. The big raindrops fell on the ground. If Lin Xuan had not mobilized the airflow around him in time and put up a barrier, his clothes would have been soaked.

　Moreover, there was a strong wind in the air, blowing the raindrops left and right.

　"Is this the underworld? It's between the living world and the mythology that represents immortality, the boundary between life and immortality. But what about Seiakiin Hina? I didn't see her then~~~ Was she sent to some other place or... huh!?" After taking a few steps, Lin Xuan saw a small wooden house not far away.

　It was an ancient-style Japanese wooden house. When Lin Xuan saw the house, he almost guessed the owner of the house. Apart from that old guy, Lin Xuan couldn't think of anyone else who could appear in the Japanese wooden house in the underworld.

　Not long after, Lin Xuan arrived in front of the cabin.

　The sliding door at the entrance was open and had not been closed. Lin Xuan walked directly into the cabin without hesitation. After entering the cabin, what caught Lin Xuan's eyes was an old man sitting cross-legged in front of a classical pit stove.

　The old man was about 1.8 meters tall. Although he was wrapped in a rough kimono, it still couldn't hide his explosive muscles. The vitality he exuded didn't seem like something an old man should have. However, the weird and stubborn expression on his face was very suitable for his physique.

　After entering the cabin, Lin Xuan sat down nonchalantly on the other side of the stove, opposite the old man. After sitting down, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke.

　"Haya Susano-no-Mikoto?"

　"That's right, the king of a foreign country." The old man, or rather Susanoo Nobuo, responded with a ferocious smile. Although he looked very cold on the outside, he gave people a strange kind of kindness. Of course, it was unknown whether he did this intentionally.

　"However, I didn't expect that you actually knew my identity. This surprised me~~~" Susanoo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

　"Really? I don't see why you're surprised." Lin said bluntly with a pout.

　Frankly speaking, Lin Xuan was very unhappy with those old men hiding in the underworld who were giving orders to the official history compilation committee. Because of these guys, Lin Xuan always felt like he was being watched from behind when he was in Japan. Therefore, Lin Xuan was in no mood to talk to Susanoo in front of him.

　It seemed that he sensed the impoliteness in Lin Xuan's tone, but Susanoo was not angry. Instead, he laughed heartily twice, "Haha——"

　"Okay, I don't want to chat with you about irrelevant things. Now can you tell me why you asked your shrine maiden to invite me here? You don't want to reminisce about the past with me, a godslayer, right? Besides, we don't have much to reminisce about." Lin Xuan sneered as he half-closed his eyes and looked at Susanoo No Mikoto in front of him.

　"Don't be anxious~~~God Slayer, everyone hasn't arrived yet~~~~Huh? Here they come." Glancing behind him, Susanoo No Mikoto smiled.

　In fact, without Susanoo's reminder, Lin Xuan also discovered the two existences that broke into his perception range. Judging from the aura emitted by the two, neither of them was a god.

　The aura emitted by one of them was somewhat similar to the aura of the Earth Goddess emitted by Athena, but there were also differences. Lin Xuan guessed that the other person was probably the fallen Earth Goddess, a being that was neither god nor human.

　The aura emanating from the other person reminded Lin Xuan of the sa-ver who had confronted him before. Of course, this was only because they both exuded the aura of Buddha.

　Soon after, two figures appeared in the cabin.

　The first person to appear was a figure dressed in black monk's robes, but it was difficult for humans to see clearly. His skin was dry, with no real flesh at all, as if it had been completely peeled off, like a mummy. Based on his vague memories, Lin Xuan vaguely remembered that he was a monk who had achieved Buddhahood in the flesh.

　After the monk came in a peerless beauty, her flaxen hair gently draped over her shoulders, and her brightly colored twelve-piece kimono wrapped around her curvy figure, making her look like an ancient aristocratic princess. Her noble and elegant temperament was reflected in her exquisite manner, and her clear glass-colored eyes exuded a dreamy glow that made people unable to help but fall deeply in love with her.

　"It's them~~~~" Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly as he looked at the two people who had just appeared in the cabin. "I knew it, since they called me to the underworld, how could it be that only Hayabusa Susanoo-no-Mikoto was here? Now that everyone's here, it's time for that old guy to show his hand~~~~" Lin Xuan thought to himself, glancing at the smiling Hayabusa Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
