Chapter 320 Seat of Eros

The priests of the shrine arrived in large numbers, but they arrived belatedly. Like the police officers at the scene of a murder, they were busy in the ruins of the shrine.

Laixiang was also taken away.

She didn't resist, but gave Hui Yuanchu a wink before leaving.

Hui Yuan didn't stop him at all, because he knew that they would meet again after a while.

In addition, he himself was "invited" to the guest room on the second floor of Jinhui Hall.

"Why do people from the group appear in our important ceremonies? You cannot leave until the group gives a formal explanation."

"I can only say that you should be happy first, at least Onishi Miyaji is willing to speak for you."

"Otherwise, before the group's liaison officer arrives, the comfortable room prepared for you will not be this comfortable room now, but the water prison under the shrine."

The strange priest from the shrine said to him sternly.

Seeing that Huiyuan looked meek and distracted at first, but at least showed no intention of resisting, the priest snorted and left the room and closed the door.

Hui Yuanchu picked his ears and continued to focus on his own consciousness.

He sat on the throne, tapping his fingers on the armrest, and waited.

Sure enough, not long after, a door suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the void.

——It's not a simple or gorgeous fantasy-style door... it's an ordinary entrance door built for one household. From the door frame, a whole set of entrance halls extends.

The key clicked and the door was opened. Then the girl JK Fox hummed a song and walked in. She began to take off her shoes in front of the entrance.

When Rika was taken away before, she was wearing a witch costume.

But at this time, Laixiang's transformed posture, which appeared in front of the throne, had returned to the way he was dressed when he first met Huiyuan.

Exquisite and cute makeup, pure and sexy hot girl style clothes, the finishing touch of the decorative collar around the neck, expensive luxury bags.

She took off her shoes, threw her bag on the shoe cabinet, then opened her arms and jumped on the spot, as if she was waiting for a warm hug: "Hatsu-chan, I'm back!!!"

Hui Yuan remained calm at first, just sitting on the throne from a distance with an expression of "I'm watching your performance."

The fox stood there with his arms spread out. When his arms were stiff, he didn't wait for a hug.

So she finally pouted, showing an unhappy expression.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!!" Then Hui Yuanchu had to stop him.

Because of Ibuki Rika, she simply rushed over by herself, placed her butt between Haiyuanchu's legs, squeezed into the same throne with him, and clung to him tightly, then she showed a pleased expression.

Hui Yuan looked at the girl who simply lay on top of him, and had to admit that he couldn't win against this scumbag with such a shameless face!
"I wanted to ask before...why you can come to this place." He asked.

"Huh?" Lai Xiang also had an expression of "Why would you ask such a natural question".

"This is 'my' home." She paused and then added, "This is the place where 'I' was born."

Then Laixiang pointed down from the throne: "Look, that is 'my' throne."

Hui Yuan initially looked down in the direction she pointed, somewhat surprised.

...The fog under the throne cleared up at some point, and there really was a seat there.

To be precise, there are indeed two rows of huge seats on the left and right facing the throne on the high platform that he is sitting on.

——Like lords discussing matters before the king.

However, most of the two rows of stone seats have been weathered and decayed, and not much of their appearance is left. Only the bases emerging from the ground show signs of their former existence.

But now, the seat closest to him, the one Ibuki Rika was pointing to, had restored its brand-new look at some point.

"Ah..." Hui Yuanchu had some mixed emotions, "I thought this was my living room, but in fact, it is a public meeting room..."

"That's not the case. After all, this is also my father's divine domain. So Hatsu-chan still has the highest control. If Hatsu-chan doesn't want to, Laixiang won't be able to come here."

"Really?" Hui Yuanchu had an idea.

--"boom".

With a heavy slamming of the door, the door on the distant entrance was slammed shut, and Ibuki Rika disappeared in an instant.

From outside the door, there was a cautious knock on the door, and a pitiful plea: "Dad, Dad, let Laixiang go home. Laixiang is wrong. It's so dark and cold outside, wuwuwu..."

...Why does it always feel like a parent corporally punishing a naughty child?
Hui Yuan initially shook his head to wave away the strange illusion, and then another thought came to him.

- "click".

After the door lock clicked, the door opened again with a "squeak" sound.

So the lively girl fell from the sky again, fell back into his arms, and then rubbed against his chest flatteringly.

Then, Hui Yuan thought again and again and asked: "What is the relationship between Laixiang and Eros...?
Even though some things are already obvious, it’s still worth asking.

Ibuki Raika's answer surprised him.

"Huh?" She replied casually, "Both names refer to Laixiang."

"……what?"

"Laixiang doesn't understand why Chu Jiang looks like he has been troubled by this problem for a long time..." Laixiang observed Hui Yuanchu's expression and tilted his head in confusion, "It's obviously not a problem at all."

"Laixiang is not Eros? Isn't he a clone or something?" Huiyuan was really surprised and couldn't understand. "Eros is not a human being. But Laixiang, you are."

"Ah, so that's what it means..." Xiang Xiang nodded knowingly, "Although there is indeed a difference in scale... But Hatsumi just thinks that the two are consistent."

The girl smiled brightly, her golden pupils staring into Hui Yuanyuan's eyes: "...I am Eros of lust, the product of my father reshaping and expelling his desire for love."

"I have an 'end', a 'role' in human society, and I got the name 'Ibuki Rika'."

"In human society, when interacting with other humans, I will naturally call myself Ibuki Rika."

"Although, due to adaptability issues, it took me a long time to cultivate enough thoughts and spiritual veins from the end to authenticate myself, and wake up completely..."

"But from the beginning to the end, Chu-chan is facing me. From the beginning to the end, I am in love with Chu-chan."

"The end..." Hui Yuanchu raised his hand and looked at his own hand, thoughtfully.

He somewhat understood the meaning of Laixiang.

"It's not a clone, and I don't have a clone, because I don't need it."

Indeed, it is not necessary for a finger to have a consciousness of its own.If the consciousness of the ontology is strong enough, it can naturally cover and handle tens of thousands of terminal situations at the same time.

But if there is an end, there is a body.

Hui Yuanchu asked again: "So... where is the real Eros, not the end, but the body?"

"...How to say?" This question made Ibuki think for a moment, "Probably, in the body fluids of all human beings."

"……what?"

"When Dad created mankind, apart from flesh and blood, he added me into it."

Then, Ibuki Raika's miko seemed to be in high spirits again.She jumped down the steps of the throne, opened her arms, and began to chant and dance in an ancient key, "Ah...

"—Flesh is the rough horse, rumbling, rumbling, rolling the axle.

"Eros is the coachman, crackling and cracking the whip.

"The horse pulled up the carriage, and the wheels turned rapidly.

“The carriage trapped the poor mother across the plain.

“The carriage holds the hateful mother, flying across the ocean.

"Chasing the sunrise from one end to the other,
“Chasing the sunset, from that end back to this end.

“What goes around comes around, the sun rises and sets.

"Finally mom stopped crying. She said she would not abandon us and go back to her heavenly kingdom.

"Anyway -" the golden-eyed Ibuki Rika finished her chant and jumped back to the steps like a bunny, kneeling under Hui Yuanchu's knees, lying on his lap, looking up at him with a smile, "So, Laixiang is the god of the land. Because only Laixiang can always be with everyone and love everyone."

Huiyuan was a little shocked at first. He didn't expect Eros to exist in such a form...

In other words, it is actually the source of love hidden under all human beings.

Eros was not born from the collection of human desires, but from the beginning, because of Eros, all human beings had desires.

Eros is the source, but it no longer exists as a large source, but as small sources distributed in everyone's body fluids.

She is a collection of sources.

Therefore, in order to eliminate Eros, all humans must be eliminated first... But even if all humans are eliminated, it will not eliminate Eros, but liberate her.

"Then why did you descend into this body?" Hui Yuanchu asked again, stroking Lai Xiang's head.

"Because of Eros's state, even though he is loved by everyone, he cannot love others." Laixiang pouted and said, "If Laixiang wants to love others, he must have an end to do so. Woolen cloth."

"Oh……"

"It means, 'Laixiang must have been born to meet Chujiang'!" Fox JK shook hands, eyes sparkling.

This time, Hui Yuan did not easily bring the topic to a close by making fun.Instead, he fell silent.It wasn't a question of how much sincerity there was in the fox's words.In the short time they got together, he had already noticed it.Ibuki Rika always means it.

But the gods and humans have completely different understandings of even the same thing.

...For example, is it Laixiang’s lover, him or Adabaduo?

Huiyuan decided to take advantage of the situation and ask this question clearly.Just right - this can lead to the question he is most concerned about.

"So, why?" Haiyuan asked Ibuki Laika seriously.

"Ok?"

"Why does Laixiang like me so much? Eros loves Atalabadu. So in Laixiang's eyes, what is the relationship between me and Atalabadu?"

"Because Chu-chan is the father." Yibuki Laika's answer was still so simple and full of information.

Hui Yuanchu shook his head and didn't understand: "If I were a clone of Yadabaduo, or one of the terminal ones, I should be like Laixiang and have no hesitation about this issue, but I don't think I am?"

Ibuki Rika didn't seem to think this was a problem: "Well... Hatsu-chan's situation can't be compared to mine. After all, dad and 'us' are fundamentally different."

"So, you said that I am Yaldabadu. How did you determine it? On what basis?" Hui Yuanchu became more and more irritated as he spoke. "I know that my flesh and blood comes from Yaldabadu, but I can be sure. My soul--"

But his words suddenly stopped.

Ibuki Raika directly took his hand, put it on her lower back, and at the same time muttered: "Hatsu-chan, if you're not angry, please touch your tail~"

Huiyuan's original mood was suddenly interrupted by Laixiang's inexplicable operation, so he had no choice but to remain silent and touch it twice politely.

And Ibuki Rika showed a silly smile.

"I am my father's only miko, his only daughter, and I love him most in the world," she said.

"So I recognize Dad."

"Dad is an ocean, and I can recognize every drop of water that makes up him."

"It's like..."

She moved closer.

One hand reached to the lower back, pressed on the back of Hui Yuanchu's hand that was still covered there, and rubbed it gently as if to urge something: "It's like, if you cut the first sauce into thousands of small pieces, pieces...but Laixiang can still recognize any one of them. He recognizes that it belongs to Hatsu-chan, and even recognizes that it belongs to Hatsu-chan...Which one of Laixiang's favorites~~~"

"——So, Hatsumi-chan is it."

Hui Yuanchu asked involuntarily, "What is it?"

"It's water droplets.

"There are two kinds of existence in this world. One is Dad, and the other is Dad's 'creation'."

"And Hatsu-chan... is a 'part' of daddy, not a 'creation'. Regardless of flesh and blood, or spirit."

Ibuki Rika finally said firmly: "So, in every sense, Hatsu-chan is dad."

Hui Yuanchu digested it in silence for a while, then asked: "Then, where is Yadabaduo himself? Now. Laixiang, you must know-"

"Hatsu-chan." Ibuki Rika suddenly interrupted him.

"Stop thinking about daddy."

"Let's stop here. It's quite safe at this level, and we haven't touched 'knowledge' yet. 'Knowledge' is a channel, just like light can soar through knowledge.

"So, if you know too much at the wrong time, Dad, you will really come down the passage... In that case, Hatsu-chan will disappear, right?" She made a "shush" gesture, The expression is serious.

Hui Yuan was cold and completely shut up.

Seeing his reaction, Laixiang patted her chest reassuringly and let out a breath.

Then she relaxed again, chuckled, and hung her hands around his neck.

"Anyway, Chu Jiang, please be more confident. Chu Jiang is Laixiang's only father in this world, and he deserves it!" The girl raised her neck like that, looked up at Hui Yuan Chu with a smile, and shouted again meaningfully: "dad--"

...Knowing that this topic really could only go so far, Hui Yuanchu sighed with resignation and simply gave up.

He asked back, "So, how are you doing over there now?"

"Well..." Laixiang first readjusted his posture - first got down from Hui Yuanchu's body, then jumped up with a "hey" sound, sat on Hui Yuanchu's body, continued to hold his neck, and then Then he replied: "I am listening to the chatter of the priests. Laixiang wants to go back to Ise with these people."

"Ah? Why are you going back?"

"Go and participate in the final ceremony. To become Saio, you have to kill all the shrine maidens in other divisions."

"Huh?" Huiyuan really didn't understand. Laixiang has obviously recovered his power as Eros. Does Saiou's ceremony still have meaning now?
"Saio and Toyokuni Lord are 'miracles' created by Shinto imitating Eros. So although there is a strong connection... it still takes some effort to really have complete control." Laixiang He said confidently, "Hatsu-chan, just wait for the fragrance for now, it won't take long."

"Anyway, it's just a short separation. Once control of the country is completely regained, Laixiang can choose to appear anywhere in the country at any time...

"for example?"

"...For example, when Chu-chan is having dinner with her mother on a date, Laika might appear under the table?" Laika licked her lips, her eyes lit up in the shape of a heart, and made a gesture.

Then the little fox observed his words, and before Hui Yuanchu showed annoyed expression, he voluntarily jumped off him, and ran towards the door under the throne with a smile: "Slip, woof, woof!~~"

The door clicked shut from the outside, and then disappeared from the throne.

The space suddenly became quiet.

Hui Yuanchu said "ah" and patted his forehead...

He just forgot to confirm with Laika about the "relationship between Oro Aoi and Sophia".

...Forget it, let’s look at “that” first.

He raised his finger, where the butterfly of light appeared.

This is the tamaruyu soul left behind by Oro Aoi in the mask.Maybe it wasn't her intentional behavior, but Hui Yuanchu just couldn't help but wonder... What was she thinking when she was imprisoned there and suppressed by the entire country and motionless?

Hui Yuanchu blew a breath, and the light butterfly immediately flew up and shattered into a diffuse light mist composed of countless light points in mid-air, flying towards the slowly falling screen.

The screen was lit up by light mist and began to show pictures.

In a place that looked like a military base, a man was looking down with his back to the light and his face unclear.

The man's voice was calm, tired, and unfamiliar.

But for some reason, Hui Yuanchu felt deja vu.

"You're here." The man said to Zhi Lukui.

"I don't want to waste time, so let me make it clear from the beginning. I don't need a daughter, but an heir is still useful."

"Now, I will give you only one chance to prove that you have that qualification."

"This is what we are dealing with now. You followed Qiu Jiang all the way here and encountered these monsters."

"You don't need to think about it. The tactical planner has already provided the best plan. It is a suicide mission that only Akie Tatsuyo can accomplish, but it will definitely lead to death. But in order to save the lives of 10 people, She has to go."

"In our world, the criterion is sacrifice and dedication, so Qiujiang will not hesitate. And you..."

"If you want to be my heir, you must understand better - the so-called sacrifice, the more difficult thing is to sacrifice others."

"——So, you come and give this order."

"Take this authorized pen, write your name, and formally sign this order."

"That's it, it's very simple."

"...Can you do this? If you can't do this, just return the pen to me and go back as soon as possible."

"I do not need you."

"...I'll give you five more seconds." Until the end, the man's voice remained calm.

Amid Zhe Lukui's increasingly rapid breathing and heartbeat, which seemed to be suffocating, the picture gradually darkened, and then suddenly all sounds disappeared.

After an unknown length of silence, the picture remained dark.

But a woman's voice sounded from outside the field of vision.

Akie Tatsuyo, a sassy woman who appears in Oroku Aoi's group photo and appears countless times in Oruri Aoi's Tamaruhun.

At this time, her voice was a little weak, warm...but still firm.

"That's it, I sent you to him, this job is over, and then it's time for me to go to the next job."

"Although this job is a bit difficult, we may not see each other for a long time."

"...Why don't we make a promise? You are so outstanding. I want to see you become a guardian that we rely on like him the next time we meet."

"Okay, that's it. I'm leaving."

"Goodbye."

Only after recording this point did Orukui let out her first voice full of despair and depression: "Woo-ah-!!"
