I have found out your real name

Chapter 161 The Invisible Boundary
After stepping into the gate of the building and passing the clean water pool in front of the main hall, none of the people had any intention of stopping to worship, so Akabane Yuki led them through the main hall of the shrine and up the steps at the foot of the mountain.

The vermilion-painted torii gates are built in a row along the Miyama approach. There may be hundreds or even thousands of them, and the total length is as long as four kilometers.

The sun shines through between the red pillars and flashes on the faces of passers-by.

The sound of the suitcase's wheels rolling stopped abruptly, Shiratori Mai took a deep breath, and felt that the back was wet with sweat, and it was coolly attached to the skin.

For a non-sports girl who stays at home in the workplace, it is really impossible to climb the mountain with the luggage she brought!
She looked angrily at the companions in front of her who had drawn a certain distance away from her, and felt that there was a pitifully thick barrier between them.

The more I think about it, the more I get angry, so that the heat of midsummer rushes to my head, the scenery in front of me seems to be distorted through the lens, and the increasingly heavy suitcase seems to be thrown out of my hand, pulling my whole body backward...

"It seems that there are things that literary girls can't do. Do you want to try changing to a fitness girl?"

The weight in his hand suddenly lightened and was taken over forcefully, and the body that was about to fall regained its balance.

Li Wu handed her a bottle of water, who was already suffering from mild heat stroke symptoms. Shiratori swallowed the liquid like a traveler who saw an oasis after trekking in the desert for a long time, but was snatched back before drinking much.

She stared dissatisfiedly at Li Wu who put the mineral water bottle on the head of Guang who followed beside him—Guang very cooperatively stretched out his hands to keep his balance and played acrobatics.

"It's useless to stare at me, you can't drink too much. In addition, after going back this time, Shiratori should put going out to exercise on the schedule. First, start by tidying up the hygiene at home every day..."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa—"

Already dizzy, she felt even more dizzy.

Even when this guy is helping, he has to be sarcastic and lecture at the same time!
"I'm sorry, sorry, I was negligent, but we will be there soon, so let's hold on."

The priestess who led the way apologized with folded palms, and repeatedly assured that there is no need to walk the entire four kilometers to the Senbon Torii Gate, which exists as a well-known scenic spot.

I don't know if the protection rune drawn by Aoi Hoshikawa before arriving had some effect, Mai Shiratori soon cheered up.

Moreover, after walking a little further, we entered the lush mountain forest, the trees on both sides of the path were shady, and the temperature dropped to an acceptable level.

The pillars next to it are engraved with wishes made by people from different ages, as well as the name and year of the donor. It is like walking into a time tunnel, with only the lingering breeze in your ears and no human voice.

Li Wu realized the abnormality, and the other tourists who had been traveling with them all disappeared at some point.

"The torii is the dividing line that separates the realm of the gods from the secular world, so the act of passing through the torii has the meaning of 'stepping into another world'."

Even though he hadn't even walked halfway, the radiant exit had already appeared at the end of the tunnel formed by the torii gates.

"In other words, it is an invisible boundary line!"

Guang stroked his chin decently, as if he really understood.

"That's right, it's the realm of invisibility—no! It's the dividing line between the front and back and Fushimi Inari Shrine!"

Miss Miko, who was almost taken into the ditch, introduced solemnly.

This name is not as good as light.

Shiratori Mai stretched out her hand and stroked the empty front.

In her field of vision, there was an almost colorless and transparent strip of light at the exit, which could be distinguished from the air only by being slightly distorted. It vibrated happily as if it was calling and welcoming itself, spreading silent strings.

"Everyone... can't you see it? No, it should be that this kind of thing is very common in their side of the world."

She follows Li Wu, who has been walking ahead of her since she almost fell, and crosses the boundary separating reality and fantasy.

"It's spectacular!"

"so many people……"

Aoi Hoshikawa and Airisa expressed emotion in different senses.

"Are we going straight to the top of the mountain?"

Looking back, you can only see the only torii exit. A huge square paved with bluestone bricks spreads out in front of you. You can see priests in hunting clothes and witches in white clothes and scarlet hakama everywhere. There are faint traces of buildings in the distance. .

When Li Wu looked around, he could directly look down on the cloud-shrouded capital, but his perspective was as hazy as if he was looking through a layer of mirror.

"Strictly speaking, it's not in the same location as the real Inari Mountain. Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live first."

Akabane Yuki didn't talk too much with his colleagues here, just nodded briefly and continued to walk across the square, turning left into a courtyard with a large area in the two rows of houses.

The environment here is quiet, and foxes can be seen running around in the yard. Carps are raised in the meandering water flowing into the ditches. Many blank paintings in the shape of foxes for making wishes are hung on the ginkgo tree planted in the center of the courtyard. horse.

"As expected of a shrine dedicated to Inari God."

After putting away his luggage, Li Wu sat on the edge of the corridor facing the yard, angrily rubbing the head of the little white fox that accidentally jumped on his lap, feeling healed.

"If it's another shrine, it's probably a moving koma dog."

Mai Shiratori, who was dressed in a one-piece dress, walked out of the room second, "Is Li Wujun also a beauty supremacist?"

"It's human nature to like cute things."

"It can be seen that you are such a person."

She took off her glasses and breathed on the lenses, "It looks like some sort of rally is being held here."

"bingo!"

The rest of the people followed from behind, and Miss Miko put her hands on her hips, "Now the representatives of the [Eight Man Shrine Joint Committee] are gathering at Koheda's house to hold the annual summer banquet."

The little Hetian she mentioned should refer to the Hetian family, the hereditary priest of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.

"It's not just that."

Hoshikawa Aoi poked her on the back, "Don't just think about playing, Yuki-san! You have business to do at the party!"

"Oh, and by the way, Shuten-douji, who will be subdued again... and will be revived in Kyoto."

"Isn't that the most important thing?!"

Mai Shiratori screamed out first, of course she had also heard the name of this famous Dajiangshan monster, "The monster that is about to be resurrected, the outsider who came suddenly, and the unknowingly happy atmosphere are enough in light novels." The conditions leading to the bad ending route!"

"calm down."

Yuuki waved his hand, "That guy will make a fuss every ten or eight years. Families like Shirakawa, Yoshida, and Kamo have integrated Minamoto Yorimitsu's first kill experience over the past century to streamline the re-sealing steps. Wrote it as a strategy book and distributed it everywhere.”

"Humanity's skills are constantly improving under the impetus of wise men, while monsters can only hesitate between resurrection and failure again and again. Under the gap between one and the other, it makes resubduing Shuten-douji a simple matter of procedure. , this is the glory of the Priest-Miko group."

She puffed out her chest and said proudly.

"Really?"

"Anyway, it's not like the previous time when Xiaokui and I fought alone. With those tall men from famous families standing in front, it's more important to eat and drink well."

This time the painting style is right.
