The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

"I have to ask you for your instructions on this." Kinoshita Masatomo's expression became solemn, like a Confucian general about to go to the battlefield. "I once again request to mobilize the Supernatural Countermeasures Division, including all the shrine maidens and non-staff members at the current shrine."

Chapter 50: Find a good husband to live with

Watanabe Shogo was reluctant to send Ming Xue and others because these were essentially the seeds of their next generation Investigation Bureau.

Until they grow up, Fujiwara Takeshi and Kinoshita Masatomo will be able to take care of it.

However, there had been no trouble for twenty years, resulting in too few members with combat capabilities within the bureau.

If a person with high combat capability like Fujiwara Takeshi is missing, who will rescue him?

Tokyo headquarters? Fujiwara family?

The situation is a complete mess. If a high-level exorcist comes out, it will cause a lot of trouble for all parties.

"I have to make an excuse to discuss this with my dad, otherwise that kid Kinoshita will keep chattering in my ear again."

Watanabe Changwu, who returned to the outside of the main hall, said helplessly while picking his ears.

It is such a headache for ordinary people to mix in the spiritual world, and it is unavoidable. Any position like director must be held by an ordinary person without spiritual weapons to prevent the side effects of spiritual weapons or the cost of the contract from interfering with the judgment of the top management.

"come in."

The voice of Watanabe Toshizo was heard from the main hall.

Watanabe Shogo took a deep breath and stepped into the main hall.

"Changgo, I already know about what happened in Tadosho Town. Even Fujiwara Takeshi asked for help, which shows how dangerous it is. Are you sure you want to carry out Kinoshita's plan?"

As soon as Watanabe Changgo entered the room, he saw Watanabe Toshizo sitting on the main seat, but compared to the last time he met Mingxue, he had a bowl of steaming Chinese medicine in his hand.

"I don't agree with the children going into battle. I recruited them only to prepare for the training of the next generation of the Investigation Bureau. But sending them to the battlefield now does not meet my expectations, not to mention that they are all children from big families." Watanabe Masago said with difficulty.

Watanabe Toshizo silently shook the bowl of Chinese medicine in his hand.

Seeing this, Yawatabe Changwu continued, "But Fujiwara Takeshi's condition also worries me. If I don't save him, I can't bear the consequences. I plan to... ask for help from the surrounding cities and counties."

"It's easy to invite a god, but you need to think carefully before sending one." Watanabe Toshizou took a sip of the Chinese medicine and then put it down. "Tell me what you really think."

⒎ Watanabe Changwu was silent for a while, sighed, then sat down while scratching the back of his head. "The next step is to take the children with you and let them stand behind the battlefield to observe and learn. If necessary... give up the rescue and mission, lead the children to retreat immediately, and let the investigation bureaus of other cities jointly handle it."

Watanabe Toshizou stopped shaking the bowl of Chinese medicine in his hand and said, "No, if necessary, let Himimiya Akiyuki take over."

Lu "Huh?!" Watanabe Masago raised his head.

Umbrella "You ask Huizi to bring Feigong Mingxue to me, and then go back to your bureau to work."

Private "This..."

㈣ "We will prepare the team to set off this afternoon."

2. "Well, Dad, you have the final say." Watanabe Changwu shrugged, stood up and left the main hall and headed to the back.

……

"The priest wants to see me?"

Mingxue, who was following behind Huizi, had a confused look on his face. Not long after he changed into the shrine maiden's costume, he was called over to meet someone. He couldn't help but suspect that he was being forced to become a shrine maiden, but Aunt Huizi didn't look like that kind of person.

The two soon arrived at the main hall. Just as Huizi was about to ask something, her father waved him away.

"Uh." Huizi turned her head and looked at Mingxue.

Mingxue said to Huizi with a smile: "Aunt Huizi, please go and help them change their clothes first. I just happen to have something to talk to Grandpa Watanabe about."

Keiko sighed, glanced at her father who was sitting on the main seat, then turned and left the main hall, leaving Mingxue and Watanabe Toshizo behind.

"Chief Priest? Director?" Ming Xue slowly sat down opposite Watanabe Toshizo.

"Just call me as I did just now." Watanabe Toshizo smiled, "I like it very much. I am an old man who has never hugged my granddaughter."

Mingxue's mouth twitched slightly, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Let's get straight to the topic, such as the hearing aid you asked Ye Yue to give me."

"Are you going to ask... about the devil?" Watanabe Toshizo put down the bowl.

Ming Xue was startled and continued to ask: "Do you know the devil?"

"An old friend of mine once made a deal with the devil, but the outcome... is hard to judge." Watanabe Toshizo said in a low voice: "Now I smell the same sulfur smell from your soul, although it is very faint."

"Is there any way to get rid of it?" Ming Xue asked directly without any further ado.

"Someone asked me how to quit smoking. How do you think I should persuade them?" Watanabe Toshizo asked back.

Mingxue touched her chin and analyzed, "Can I only rely on myself and not trade?"

"The devil will throw you the bait of power, and you still have time to resist the temptation." Watanabe Toshizo said.

Mingxue adjusted her hakama and asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Kid, this is not a deal, but something you have to consider." Watanabe Toshizo said, "A supernatural situation has occurred in Dosho Town, and it is related to a girl named Kirikiri Kumoori who is beside you."

Swish!

The Bow of the Other Shore appeared in Ming Xue's hand, but he did not bend the bow and shoot the arrow.

"Sure enough." Watanabe Toshizo glanced at the Higanbun in Mingxue's hand, then looked up at Mingxue's alert expression, "Go to Duozhuang Town. The supernatural things that happened there are very likely to be left by that bastard Fujiwara Michiaki. Search: Spiritual weapon generation."

Ming Xue was unmoved, and just asked softly: "Why are you so sure? Why did you tell me?"

"The condition of your friend named Yunzhi won't last long. She needs other spiritual tools of Fujiwara Michiaki to stabilize it. If you don't believe me, at the latest the day after tomorrow, the Kirigiri Yunzhi will show abnormalities." Watanabe Toshizo picked up the bowl of Chinese medicine on the ground again, "Of course, you can also ask the devil for help."

Mingxue widened her eyes slightly.

Watanabe Toshizo said, "Even if I don't answer your question, you have the thought of going, right?"

Mingxue was silent.

"Of course, I can also help you and your friends give up participating in the mission. After all, I am the only one who noticed that you are different." Watanabe Toshizou looked at the bowl of Chinese medicine that had long been empty. "The choice is up to you, Miko."

"If I come back, I hope you will tell me everything." Ming Xue took back the bow of the other shore and stood up again. "My classmates will not participate. I will follow the investigation bureau to join the mission alone."

"Hehe, in the end you have to bear it all alone?" Watanabe Toshizo coughed a few times, "You remind me of a shrine maiden in our family history."

Ming Xue frowned slightly, "Your health is not good, and the Chinese medicine you drank... I don't think it can cure you."

"Can I understand that you care about an old man like me?" Watanabe Toshizo looked at Mingxue with a relaxed expression.

Mingxue closed her eyes slightly, turned around and walked out of the hall, "Let's go to the hospital early."

"Child, in this world, kindness and gentleness will only harm you." Watanabe Toshizou slightly bent his body, "I would rather you find a good husband and live with him."

Mingxue stopped at the door.

Others are elderly people, so I need to stay calm and not get angry.

Chapter 51: The Beauty of the Past, the Girl of Today

The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped a road leading to the country. The rice straw in the fields around the road swayed in the breeze under the illumination of the sunset. From the sky, it looked like ripples on spring water blown by the wind.

Suddenly, five black cars emerged from the shadows where the afterglow of the setting sun had not yet reached. They lined up in a row and drove on the road under the sunset. The roar of their high-speed driving broke the quiet and peaceful countryside beauty.

"I would like to express my gratitude to you for participating in this operation, ahem."

In the car, Masayoshi Kinoshita, who was sitting in the back seat, thanked Mingxue next to him.

Ming Xue, who was wearing a shrine maiden's costume, said nothing but looked coldly at the sick man beside her.

It was this guy who suggested that he and his classmates take part in this extremely dangerous mission, so of course he didn't give him a good look.

Fortunately, he had negotiated with the chief priest Watanabe Toshizo not to let his classmates know about the mission, and he joined the mission to rescue Fujiwara Takeshi alone as a consultant.

That's why he didn't punch the other person in the face.

And Kinoshita Masatomo seemed to understand Mingxue's indifference, so he said: "I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, and even if I arrange it, I will make sure that your classmates are in the back. As for you... I'm sorry."

"I understand that." Mingxue turned her head to look at the fields outside the window, "but I will not forgive you for taking advantage of my classmates."

"If the mission is over, I am willing to hand it over to you, ahem." Kinoshita Masatomo coughed twice after saying this, "I've sent someone to take care of your uncle's situation. I'll tell you to stay at your classmate's house for a few days."

"How do you plan to arrange this mission?" Ming Xue did not continue to argue with the other party about these disputes. Instead, she asked about the next plan while looking through the mission report in her hand.

"There are currently two support teams, a reconnaissance team, and a combat team with you as the core." Kinoshita Masatomo explained to Mingxue: "The police in the surrounding towns will cooperate with us. I plan to send a reconnaissance team to lurk in the village to understand the situation first."

"A reconnaissance team has lost contact with the combat team headed by Fujiwara Takeshi. Would it be inappropriate to send only a reconnaissance team into the village?" Ming Xue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Besides, it's a mountain village. What are the villagers like? Or could they be enemies? Would we alert the enemy if we rush in?"

"You're right, but unfortunately we don't even know who the enemy is." Kinoshita Masatomo covered his chest and said, "The original plan was for police officers to disguise themselves as a construction team and block the intersection in the name of road maintenance. Then the reconnaissance team would go in to find out the situation. If there are any supernatural issues, they would send in the combat team. If not, they would continue to search for Fujiwara Takeshi's whereabouts."

"I suggest that the reconnaissance team and the combat team go in together. Since spring is coming, we can enter the mountain village in the name of a spring tour group to provide cover."

There was a hint of appreciation in Kinoshita Masatomo's eyes, and he quickly handed the rewritten plan in his hand to the communicator of the support team in the co-pilot seat.

Mingxue was stunned, looked at Kinoshita Masatoshi's profile and said, "Why are you asking me?"

"I want to see your analytical ability." Kinoshita Masatomo closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "As far as the results are concerned, I am quite satisfied."

"What about your original plan?"

"If power and morality allow, my methods may be extreme."

"extreme."

"We have to calm down the chaos caused by the supernatural at all costs. Some prices can be paid." Kinoshita Masatomo calmly said these terrifying words: "The villagers of Dosho Town can be completely abandoned. There is no need to play house investigation. We just need to find Fujiwara Takeshi."

Ming Xue's sea-blue pupils suddenly contracted.

He remembered a sentence.

Absolute rationality will lead to the loss of humanity.

……

When Mingxue and a dozen other people arrived at the foot of the mountain in Duozhuang Town, it was already evening and everyone changed into casual clothes.

The two support teams used five cars as cover to build a temporary command center in the woods at the foot of the mountain to ensure communication between the Chiba City Investigation Bureau headquarters - the temporary command center - and the members entering the mountain.

Because Mingxue has hearing aids, she cannot wear wireless headphones, so she uses headphones instead and wears them around her neck. She also wears a sports jacket, so Mingxue disguises herself as a female athlete as required, and temporarily ties her long straight black hair into a high ponytail.

Seeing Mingxue's cool and capable appearance in the distance, Kotaro, who was in the support group, blushed and was bumped on the shoulder by Minghai Jōichi from the same group.

"What, what are you doing?"

"If you like it, just ask for her phone number."

"No, the other person is probably only 16 years old. No, no." Lin

……4

The two's joking voices caught Mingxue's attention. Just as she was about to go over to ask what was going on, Kinoshita Masatomo came over.

"The combat team consists of you, Shiomi Kenji, and Hosoya Soichi." Kinoshita Masatomo handed the list of combat personnel to Mingxue, "I will lead the reconnaissance team, and the members are Umeda Ryuji and Komine Saki. Because Fujiwara Takeshi took some people away, excluding the support team, there are less than four people."

Mingxue glanced at it and returned the list to Kinoshita Masayoshi, "I understand this, but you shouldn't go up the mountain into the village."

"I do not have a spiritual weapon to protect myself, but my spiritual weapon is very useful for analyzing the situation." Kinoshita Masatomo took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on. "I am the commander of this mission and cannot escape."

Mingxue stared at Kinoshita Masatomo's glasses, then looked away, "It's up to you. I won't protect you."

"I won't interfere with your work." Masayoshi Kinoshita raised his glasses.

Because it was still a little cold in early spring, Mingxue wrapped his coat tightly around him and then went to the combat team to gather and prepare to talk with the two big brothers in the team. He didn't want to chat with an old fox like Masayoshi Kinoshita.

"Sorry." Masatomo Kinoshita looked at Mingxue's pretty figure and suddenly spoke.

Mingxue heard a voice behind her and turned to look at Kinoshita Masayoshi. The beautiful high ponytail behind her head danced in the wind, and under the moonlight, it looked cool and beautiful.

Compared to the stunned looks of the people around him, Kinoshita Masayoshi was only briefly distracted for a while, then he closed his eyes, turned around and slapped the onlookers to wake up the reconnaissance team members.

On the other side, Ming Haizhang covered his mouth and said to Kotaro: "You have no chance, Vice Captain Kinoshita might like you!"

Seeing that Tsuruta Eclipse was about to laugh, Kotaro was no longer shy and said directly: "Vice Captain Kinoshita will never get married in this life."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Ming Hai Zhangyi was puzzled.

Kotaro lowered his voice and his expression became serious. "When I reported to the police station, I heard that the year Vice Captain Kinoshita graduated from college, his sister was killed by a demon. Her death was tragic. The demon made her body into a sunny doll."

"Hiss, Sunny Doll, can it be... the Sunny Doll case in 1999? The one with more than a few thousand casualties?"

"Yes, that's when Vice Captain Kinoshita joined the Investigation Bureau and swore in front of the captain that he would not consider his personal affairs until he caught the ghost who killed his sister."

"This, this is it."

"Speaking of which, Jōichi."

"Huh? Kotaro, what's wrong with you?"

"When Vice Captain Kinoshita's sister died..." Kotaro pointed tremblingly at Mingxue who was chatting with the operations team in the distance, "Was she also about her age?"
