There is still a touch of melancholy on his face, but there is no sadness, but a sense of satisfaction that is still unfinished.

A few days ago, Sanae had completed the withdrawal procedures, and had been packing her luggage at home for the past two days.I don't have a lot of luggage. Except for some commemorative items, everything else is organized in a room at home, which can be said to be light.The school uniform and maiden uniform are in the suitcase. I am wearing ordinary casual clothes. It is a blue-green long skirt that I have never seen before. From a distance, it seems to be the same style as that set of priestess uniform with leaking armpits. I don’t know if it is Sanae. Love the color or the skirt.

"Although I am reluctant to part with Roman, I will not be sad at all, because we will see each other in the future, won't we?" Sanae's face showed a peaceful smile, which made people feel very peaceful, "Roman said Well, we'll meet again later."

"Well, we'll meet again later."

Roman gently squeezed Sanae's hand that was in his hand.

The inside of the taxi returned to calm again, only the sound of wind coming from the window could be heard.

The scenery outside the window began to become desolate, because the place was getting farther and farther away from the urban area, reaching the edge of the deserted.After driving for a long time, the sky became darker and darker, and the air suddenly cooled down.

The uncle who drove the taxi was an old driver in his forties. After he glanced at the mature woman sitting in the passenger seat, he looked in the rearview mirror at the three people sitting in the back row.It was a surprise when he received this order in the afternoon, because he needed to run from the city to the suburbs, and then send people to the suburbs on the other side of the city.This is a big list, and it may be enough to earn money that you can't find in a few days.

At first he thought it was just a family outing, but as the taxi kept moving, the idea gradually disappeared.That destination is a very desolate mountainous area. He has lived here for more than ten years and has never been here, nor has he brought anyone here.Anyway, all he needs is payment from customers, who cares what purpose they have?There is neither a station nor an airport, so maybe I am looking for distant relatives who live in the mountains.

There were three people sitting in the back row, two of them were teenagers and girls of high school age, they seemed to be lovers.The boy looked sad, but the girl looked calm and showed no signs of parting.On the girl's lap, sat a young girl who was only seven or eight years old, wearing a big frog-like hat, and the out-of-focus eyes under the hat were horrifying, making the old driver quickly withdraw his gaze.

Before it got dark, I finally arrived at my destination, which was at the foot of a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a long staircase that seems to go all the way to the top of the mountain.But because the stairs are too long, people can't see what is at the end with their eyes, but it should be a shrine, because at the foot of the mountain, which is the position in front of them, is a very dilapidated torii.The wood used to make the torii is so full of holes that it feels like it will fall if pushed lightly.Both sides are covered with weeds, and some are even taller than people.The stones on the steps are full of withered leaves, it seems that this place has been deserted for a long time.

"I didn't expect such a place to exist."

The old driver said with emotion that he only now knows that there is a shrine here.Although he lived on the other side of the city, he also had the experience of traveling, but most of the time he worked in the city. He had never even heard of a shrine hidden in the suburbs like this.

"Please wait here, I will come down soon."

"No problem, but please hurry up, because it will be dark soon."

Regarding the young man's request, the old driver was actually prepared. After all, this is a suburban area. It is basically impossible to stop the car. He can't walk back, right?

But when the four guests walked up the stairs with their luggage, the old driver discovered the boy's slip of the tongue just now. He said "I" instead of "us.

……

……

Here it is.

Roman thought.He was also very surprised when he knew that the place they were coming to was here.

Because according to the previous exchanges, the place they are going to seems to be abroad, although this statement was later denied.But even so, the place they are going to should be far away, otherwise they wouldn't say "maybe we will never see each other again in this lifetime".

In other words, is there another mystery here?

Although the place is in ruins, how can the things in the other world be judged by the appearance?Who would have thought that the sloppy uncle of the homeless man is actually a weird expert who can deal with demons and ghosts.Maybe these in front of me are actually illusions that confuse mortals, as long as they pass through some place or use props, they can see another world.Just like the very popular novel "Harry Potter", after rushing through the strange platform, you can enter another incredible world.

The speed of the four of them was very fast, but it still took more than ten minutes to see the top of the stairs.I can vaguely see the shrine in the distance through sharp eyes, but it seems a little inappropriate to use the word shrine to describe it, because part of the building has collapsed, and the fallen pillars and walls form a stable triangle, so In order to let the remaining part continue the original shape of the position.

Because the sky has darkened, Roman can't continue to observe with the naked eye. Even though his eyes can be used well in the dark, they will still be affected.

Except for the ruined shrine, there are no other buildings around. The people who built this building simply wanted to build this shrine and built it. They didn't know whether it was a shrine for worship or a place for worship. .I never thought of living here, nor did I think of people coming here to pay homage, it was built purely for the sake of construction.

"You can almost guess it, Roman."

Kanako who was here suddenly said such a sentence, and her footsteps also stopped.

"Guess what?"

"Guess our identities." Kanako looked at Roman's face, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had seen something unbelievable, "Could it be that you don't know until now, even if you're acting stupid There is a limit, I usually see you as a very shrewd person, why haven't you figured out the situation until now, is it possible that you stay at the shrine all day and do nothing but fish?"

This is blasphemy, right?This must be blasphemy!If it was in the Age of Gods, no, even five hundred years ago, if someone told the witches and priests that he didn't even know who the god he served, he might drag him out to worship the god.

As for whether Roman stayed at the shrine and did nothing but touch fish, Roman can definitely tell Kanako: Yes.

If you can fish, who will go to work?

Roman looked at the three of them blankly.Kanako had an indisputable expression on her face, as if Roman had committed a mistake that both humans and gods were angry with.Sanae covered her mouth and snickered softly, as if she saw something interesting.As for Suwako, she still looked at Roman with those unfocused eyes, but her slightly dilated pupils had already told Roman the shock in her heart.

So, what exactly did he miss, can't he just say it?

What are your identities?What else can I have?

Roman knew that Sanae was a priestess, and from the previous conversation with Kanako, she learned that Sanae, a priestess, was favored by the gods.As for Kanako and Suwako, let’s put Suwako aside, Kanako, you, an aunt who holds a wine bottle all day long, what strange identity can you have?So what if it's a witch?So what if you can use divine power?Isn't it easy to press on the ground, touch and kiss if you want?

"You really don't know yet." Kanako's expression suddenly calmed down, and the shock on her face disappeared.

Her voice became very gentle, revealing a softness that Roman had never seen before.

"But that's why we like you, Roman."

On his face, there was a doting smile.

The next moment, the three people standing in front of Roman and the three people standing at the gate of the shrine exuded brilliant light.

In the dark night, in this silent wilderness, this light is so dazzling and convincing.

"We are, gods."

The brilliant brilliance began to shrink, and even the scenery two steps away could not reflect this divine light. The light seemed to be locked on only three people, which made people feel incredible.

But Roman doesn't think so.The people he knows include weird experts, gap monsters, heavy crab girls, and he has met lost snail ghosts...

"God." Roman whispered the word, and also thought of many things in a flash.

I finally understand why Kanako can use divine power, understand that they are always vague about their whereabouts, and understand why Sanae always respects Kanako and Suwako.
