Tokyo Ghost Diary

Rumble——! !

This earthquake was like shaking the earth.

Amidst waves of panicked shouts, everyone saw several buildings collapse in the distance.

Fujiwara Risa, who was on the phone with Hoshino Gen, also screamed and fell to the ground. The phone was instantly hung up and became busy, and the signal was lost.

The earthquake just now may have affected the signal base station.

Different from the previous weak earthquake, this time it was a real natural disaster. Houses collapsed, the ground cracked, and all kinds of noisy and huge noises came from all directions.

In the vast open space of the park, there were even sounds of sobbing.

The students who were sitting on the ground were all shaken up and down at this moment. Suzuki Zemei walked closer to Yu Shimizu with a pale face, and subconsciously grasped the hem of her good friend's clothes with her little hands.

Shimizu Yuu also had a look of panic on her face. She also held her good friend's hand and looked around at a loss, not knowing what she was looking for...

......

boom--!

Seeing helplessly that a viaduct not far ahead collapsed and crushed several cars passing below, Hoshino Rin couldn't help but widen his eyes with surprise.

Before she could recover, another force suddenly came from her hand and she was suddenly pulled backwards.

As soon as Rin Hoshino took a few steps back, a vicious crack as wide as the palm of her hand spread on the road where she was standing, cutting the entire road in two.

She looked to her side in shock and saw Tamamo no Mae looking south, with a rare solemn look on her face.

"Jiujiu-chan..." Hoshino Rin called her name.

Tamamo Mae looked back at her, then pouted her face, looked around, and made sure there was no one around. Then she simply let go of Hoshino Rin's hand and took several steps back to stay away from Hoshino Rin.

Then in Hoshino Rin's unclear eyes, nine illusory white tails appeared behind her. Those tails gradually transformed from illusions into entities, and then enlarged little by little. They were big enough to completely wrap her petite body in the tails. stand up.

Hoshino Rin stared blankly at the little girl being wrapped by her tail into a flower with a white light, and then witnessed its rapid expansion——

Nine huge tails spread out like a blooming white flower, and a huge white fox revealed her holy figure.

Ethereal, noble and beautiful.

"So beautiful..." Hoshino Rin stared blankly at the pair of blue vertical pupils of the white nine-tailed fox and murmured subconsciously.

The nine-tailed fox did not respond to her, but lowered its head, rubbed Hoshino Rin's body, and then stretched out a tail to roll her up and put her on his back.

Hoshino Rin suddenly realized something. She immediately lay down on Tamamo Mae's back and gently stroked the soft white hair with her palms.

A layer of white light floated from Tamamo Mae's body, wrapping Hoshino Rin's figure.

The nine-tailed fox jumped forward slightly, as if stepping on an invisible staircase in the air, running, all the way into the clouds——

......

buzzing...

There was a faint trembling sound in the air, and Hoshino Gen stood in a shrine built in a bamboo forest.

What was in front of him at the moment was a vermilion building enveloped by a "barrier" of transparent energy.

The trembling in the air was caused by the barrier.

The urban area of ​​Kyoto outside was already in chaos, but here, it was like a paradise, unaffected by the earthquake at all.

There are many people of all kinds gathered inside and outside the Kenmi Shrine. They are distributed in every corner of the shrine.

The moment Hoshino Gen walked into the shrine, there were constant scrutinizing eyes on him from all around, but he still had the same indifferent expression, with his hands in his pockets, as if he was walking on the street after eating. This vermilion palace is obviously more special than other buildings.

In front of the "enchantment", a miko wearing a red and white uniform stopped in front of him. The other person also looked cold: "Sir, please don't come close to this place."

Hoshino Gen took a breath and asked in a calm voice: "Is Chiyomiyaji in here?"

The miko frowned and did not answer him.

Gen Hoshino took his left hand out of his pocket and shook the beads on his wrist: "Do you know Shinichiro Sasaki?"

The miko stared at the string of Buddhist beads, her expression blank, and then she asked in surprise: "Are you Hoshino... Your Excellency?"

"So, can I go in?" Hoshino Gen asked.

The miko hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She turned around and took out a royal coin from nowhere. She waved it gently in front of the barrier, and the barrier slowly opened a gap large enough for people to pass through.

There was a sudden uproar in the courtyard, and the miko glanced at the people in the courtyard with cold eyes, looking very alert.

Hoshino Gen didn't care. He stepped into the barrier and came to the door of the palace. He pushed it gently with his hands and the door opened.

A screen blocked the view outside the door. Hoshino Gen walked inside and closed the door, then walked around the screen and saw the scene inside.

In fact, there are not many people here, but almost all of them are wearing witch costumes, and they are obviously members of Kenmi Shrine.

Seeing a man named Gen Hoshino come in, the witches all stared at this "uninvited guest" with surprise and curiosity on their faces.

But Hoshino Gen's eyes did not stop at these witches. The moment he walked into the palace, most of his eyes were attracted by the woman lying on the bed.

The woman's face was pale, her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, and she was obviously in a coma.

A very haggard woman, but even so, she was still as beautiful as a mortal. But the reason why Hoshino Gen's eyes were attracted to her was not because of her appearance, but because of the feeling that woman made him... Even if he is unconscious, it can still put him into a tense early warning state instantly.

However, this state disappeared in just an instant. As for the reason, it was because of the figure that caught the other half of his eyes.

Shengxue's skin was dotted with a touch of coldness, and her black and silky hair hung down behind her like a waterfall. A pretty face that was slightly similar to the unconscious woman was facing her, with a faint glint in her eyes.

The girl was the only one sitting on the bed, and unlike the others who were all wearing miko costumes, she was wearing the same Segawa Private Academy uniform as Hoshino Gen.

If Hoshino Gen's instinctive reaction when he saw the unconscious woman on the bed was to be wary, then when he saw the girl, Hoshino Gen's heart was filled with uncontrollable surprise.

Why is Sasaki Ayane here?
