Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

This is the third mysterious incident they have discovered since arriving here.

The first incident involved Zashiki Warashi who appeared in Ashi Hotel. It has been confirmed that Zashiki Warashi’s true identity is Renka;

The second incident is the [Blue Spider Curse] that occurred in the private Sansaki Ryo Academy. On-site investigation will only begin tomorrow. The circumstances are not yet clear, and it is not even certain that it is a mysterious incident;

The third incident was the shrine mentioned by Fukami Natsuhiko. It was supposed to have been bombed long ago, but it reappeared for unknown reasons, and the mysterious girl who served as a shrine maiden in the shrine.

"Almost in the same area, three mysterious incidents occurred in succession..."

Nanfang Rihe muttered:

"Although there is no evidence, it is difficult not to doubt whether there is some connection between the three."

"Right."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, she and Mashu thought the same.

Then, she smiled and said:

"Anyway, we still have to investigate the situation of the shrine first and see if we can find any clues."

"I see."

Nanfang Rihe nodded and said:

"I'll wait for you back at the hotel."

In the investigation of mysterious incidents, she can be of minimal help, and may even become a burden to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others when they encounter danger.

Therefore, staying in the hotel honestly is the best choice for her, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

With such a calm and reliable teammate, Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt relieved. She took out the classic trio of housekeeping dolls from [Official Treasures] and handed them to Minami Hikaru, smiling:

"Then I'll leave it to you at the hotel."

"I try my best."

Nanfang Rizhe lowered his head to look at the doll in his hand, thought for a moment and then asked:

"Can you give me a gun?"

"A shotgun is fine."

"..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a shotgun and gave it to her while silently giving a thumbs up.

Awesome! ——

The moon hangs in the night sky, and the hustle and bustle of the day has completely calmed down, replaced by the rustling sounds of insects active at night.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu are preparing to leave the hotel at night and head to the top of the mountain to investigate.

As soon as they reached the door of the hotel, a cold voice suddenly called them from behind.

"Are you going to investigate that shrine?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu turned around, and the person who stopped them was Renka, the [Zashiki Warashi] of the hotel.

Different from her sailor uniform during the day, Lotus appeared in front of them in a gorgeous kimono. With her petite figure and delicate and cute face, she indeed looked like the legendary Zashiki Warashi.

"yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and admitted, then asked with a smile:

"Speaking of which, Renka entered the shrine with Fukami-sensei during the day, right?"

"Do you know anything about that shrine?"

"..."

Renhua lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes clearly. Faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, she remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"...There's something wrong with that shrine."

"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, then looked at Renhua again and said with a smile:

"Thank you for the reminder, we will be careful."

The implication is that he has no intention of giving up.

If, as Lianhua said, there was indeed some kind of anomaly there, it would be even more necessary for them to investigate clearly.

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something and asked again:

"Is the [Blue Spider Curse] that appeared at the private Sansaki Ryo Academy related to the other party?"

"..."

This time, Lianhua did not reply any more, and the figure silently disappeared into the night.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not discouraged, turned to Mashu and smiled:

"let's go."

…

Arriving at the fork in the road that Natsuhiko Fukami told about, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu followed the fork into the forest and kept going.

But not long after, mountain fog began to appear around them, and gradually became thicker, and soon it became even difficult to see the road under their feet.

"Senior, there seems to be something wrong with this fog."

Mashu was keenly aware that the situation in front of him was somewhat abnormal, so he vaguely protected Fujimaru Ritsuka behind him.

The mountain fog in front of them seemed to be deliberately blocking them from moving forward.

"I know."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in response, and she also noticed something strange.

But, do you want to use the fog to stop us?

That's really a bit of a coincidence.

With a thought in her mind, she blew lightly, and the next moment, the thick mountain fog surrounding them quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Fog is one of the eight types of weather controlled by the Eight Meanings and Gods.

Wanting to use mist to block her, who also has eight kinds of weather, is a bit of a trick.

When the fog dissipated, the two of them realized that they had been walking in the same place when they were in the fog, so they became slightly more vigilant and continued to move forward.

But this time, they soon saw what Natsuhiko Fukami said, a long staircase with countless torii gates. They continued to climb up the stairs, and after climbing for about ten minutes, they finally saw the end of the stairs.

"Is this where it is?"

After reaching the top, what appeared in front of them was a solemn and majestic shrine. Since it was night, lights were lit everywhere in the shrine, and it looked no different from shrines in other places.

"Huh?"

While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were looking around, at some point, a girl holding a broom and wearing a miko costume appeared in front of them and said in surprise:

"Are there any guests coming to worship at this time?"

It was a petite girl who was almost the same as Lian Hua in both height and figure. She had short turquoise hair and blue eyes. She looked like an elf, lovable.

"But I'm sorry, the shrine does not accept worshippers at night."

The girl's words were quite polite, but the expression on her face was obviously impatient, and the meaning of driving away people was very strong.

"Forget all this and leave."

However, despite hearing what she said, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had no intention of leaving.

"Hey, is that so?"

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Sorry, we are just curious, so we want to explore it."

"After all, wasn't this shrine destroyed a long time ago?"

"——!"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka's words fell, the atmosphere of the entire space changed instantly, and the girl's eyes looking at them also became cold in an instant.

"Who are you?"

"--never mind."

The next moment, the huge resentment in the girl's body spurted out, covering the entire mountain top in an instant!

The girl's undisguised malice locked Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu tightly. In such an environment, if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have difficulty breathing and fall into a coma in a short time, right?

Almost at the same time, Mashu instantly switched to a fighting stance, protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka behind him.

"Senior, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

The huge round table shield was pressed in front, almost completely covering the two girls' figures, and completely isolating the other party's surging malice.

Faced with Mashu's concern, Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile.

As long as Matthew is standing in front of her, she will never feel afraid.

Come on!
