The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"And he didn't ask for help, did he?"

"Saisan, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Ian said very reluctantly, "I can still hold on, Okita, you don't need to help me."

"That's good." Okita Hikaru seemed to be waiting for this answer.

"Hurry up, or we'll be too late to get to the shrine."

"Good~"

Souji Okita and Hikaru Okita didn't need to carry anything, so they walked lightly.

But speeding up was a little difficult for Ian.

Soon, he was left some distance behind by the two sisters.

"..."

Okita Souji couldn't help it anymore.

"Sister, you're going too far! You're obviously teasing Sui San, right?!"

"With so many things, even three or four people might not be able to lift them all!"

"But you said he likes you, right?" Okita Hikaru shook the fan in his hand.

"If he really likes you, this shouldn't be a difficult thing for him."

"you……"

Okita Hikaru's sharpness left Okita Souji speechless for a moment.

But she really couldn't bear to see him being tortured like this.

"No matter what you say, I have to help him!"

"Liking him is not a reason to torture him!"

Having said this, Souji Okita didn't even wait for Okita Hikaru to respond, and ran directly to Ian to help him share some of the things.

But what the girl didn't expect was that almost the moment she arrived, Okita Mitsuru also followed her over.

Souji Okita thought his sister was here to stop him again, and when he was about to get angry, he heard unexpected words.

"Sai San, this thing looks a bit too heavy. Let's split it up among the three of us."

"Eh?"

Ian didn't expect it, and Souji Okita didn't expect it even more.

After all, her sister had just acted as if she would never help, but now she has become the one who takes the initiative.

However, Souji Okita still has his own concerns.

"Sister, these things don't look light. Do you really want to help carry them?"

"Your tone..."

Okita Hikaru looked a little unhappy.

"Why do you say that as if your sister is a piece of trash?"

As he said this, Okita Hikaru slightly pulled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms.

I saw that it was a being with strong lines. Although it could not be said to be strong and powerful, it was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Just because I don't want to do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

"I, your sister, am not a weak woman."

"Okay, so awesome..."

Ian couldn't help but sigh like this, which seemed to greatly satisfy Okita Hikaru's vanity.

"Now we can finally speed up, right?!" she said.

"It's OK! Okita, let's go!"

"Ok!"

What Ian and Okita Souji didn't know was that Okita Hikaru, who was walking at the back, looked at the two of them and sighed softly.

"This silly girl Souji...can't she help me gain some status?"

"If this continues, we won't be able to take the initiative in the future."

【accelerate.】

【Accelerate rapidly.】

[The three of you quickly moved towards the target shrine.]

[At noon, you finally arrived at your destination.]

【But there is something a little off about the scene before me.】

The shrine, which should have been relatively lively, was now extremely quiet. It was so quiet that it seemed as if it had been dilapidated for a long time.

But whether it is the stairs leading up or the cleanly swept torii gate, they all refute this desolate conclusion.

It's not so much that the shrine has become desolate, but rather that something has happened.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What's going on?" Okita Souji was the first to speak. "Why is there no one here? Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"

"How could we be in the wrong place?" Okita Hikaru said without hesitation.

As the "planner" of this operation, the route was naturally given by her.

"I've been to this shrine countless times. Even the cost of its renovations was covered by my family. How could I have gone wrong?"

"..."

Souji Okita was not sure whether this was the case, after all, she had not been home for many years.

She knew her sister had no reason to lie about such a thing - what was the point of tricking her and him into coming to this place where no one was around?!

"Let's look for it first," Ian suggested. "If this is a place we've been coming to all the time, then it's impossible for everyone here to suddenly disappear."

"If you look carefully, you will definitely find something."

"..."

Okita Hikaru didn't answer Ian, but just nodded.

This is enough for a man to make his own judgment.

but--

Just as Ian was about to start searching, the shrine maidens came back from the back stairs.

They were holding all kinds of strange talismans in their hands, and they looked surprised when they saw Ian and the others.

"Why is there someone here today?!"

"This year is the year of a hundred demons!"

861. The Mikos of Heian Genji / The Dilemma of Okita Hikaru (4k)

"..."

"..."

"..."

The words of the priestesses caused the three people who had just arrived here to fall into silence.

only--

The three people's reasons for silence are different.

The reason why Ian and Okita Souji were silent was because they had actually heard the name "Hundred Demons" from their master;

But Okita Hikaru didn't understand this at all.

"what are you guys saying?"

The eldest sister of the Okita family asked in confusion.

"What does One Hundred Demons Night... mean?"

"..."

The priestesses looked at each other, and then a slightly older chief priestess came out, bowed, and began to explain.

"that--"

"If I remember correctly, you should be the young lady who often comes here with Mr. Okita?"

"Yeah." Okita Hikaru didn't mind this description of his identity.

At the same time, she did not hide her purpose.

"Yes, you remember correctly - my father used to do these things, but he passed away this year."

"..."

The great witch's expression became a little surprised.

"I'm sorry, I'm ignorant."

"It's okay." Okita Hikaru was magnanimous. "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal. You and my father didn't have a very close relationship, so it's normal that you don't know."

"but--"

"Would you at least explain what all this means?"

"I see."

The chief priestess bowed slightly and then continued.

"The so-called Hundred Ghosts actually refers to the ghosts and gods that are bred on Mount Oe."

"I understand that," Okita Hikaru continued, "but according to records, weren't they completely wiped out during the Heian era?"

"If I remember correctly, there are even documents from that time, right?"

"According to official records, this is indeed the case."

"but……"

The chief witch hesitated to speak. It was obvious that she knew what she was going to say next might cause some controversy.

Okita Hikaru was not a dull person, she quickly realized this and continued;

"It's okay, just tell me."

"I swear in the name of the eldest daughter of the Okita family that everything you said today will never be leaked."

"Right, Souji, Toshizo."

"..."

After being treated like this by Okita Hikaru, Okita Souji and Ian naturally responded one after another.

"Yes, in the name of the three daughters of the Okita family, I promise that I will never tell anyone."

"Me too."

"..."

Listening to these oath-like words, the chief witch pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"I understand."

"Since you have already made a promise, I will not hide it anymore."

"Everyone."

The chief witch's gaze swept over the three of them.
