Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

On the shimmering water's surface, a small shrine resembling a Kagura dance stage floated.

It was a simple wooden altar made by connecting boats together.

"The Holy Grail's legacy is here. According to ancient records, when the Lord of the Bee-Serpent awakens again, disaster will once more befall this land."

"If Your Majesty wishes to awaken the Lord of the Bee-Serpent, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the next period of unrest in the seal and cancel the Lion King Organization's shrine maiden sealing ritual."

Akatsuki Kisa stopped paddling and moored the boat there.

"Indeed, that's how it is for you."

Sensing what was hidden below, Haramura Makoto yawned and stepped from the boat onto the altar in the center.

"From here on out, this is my business."

"Old folks like you should leave here as soon as possible."

"Even if you still possess great power, fighting on the water isn't your forte."

Haramura Makoto spoke while turning his head, surveying the surroundings.

The time was around noon.

The blazing sun shone directly on the water, refracting phosphorescence.

Dense forests surrounded the lake, and behind those forests, Haramura Makoto could clearly sense the barrier generators that he had ordered Shizuneyo to bury there yesterday, along with the faint sources of spiritual power.

"Besides, those little guys need you to lead them, right?"

"Anbo Nane is enough. This old woman no longer has that authority."

Akatsuki Kisa chuckled merrily.

It seemed like a refusal, but in reality, she had already put the oar back into the lake.

"Since you've already released the news, there's no need to stop anyone who arrives as expected."

"Do as you please."

"This old one understands."

"Thank you for your leniency, Your Majesty."

The sound of the oar striking the water resounded again, and from the distance of the sound, it was clear that Akatsuki Kisa was getting further and further away.

"Heh, because I caused the whole thing."

"Is that sarcasm?"

Akatsuki Kisa's gratitude was simple.

It was about the Lion King Organization reporting this matter to the higher-ups of the island country.

After all, the Lion King Organization was this country's special operations agency.

They were responsible for guarding the things that went wrong, and they couldn't shirk their responsibility.

But Haramura Makoto had given them a perfect excuse.

The Fourth Primogenitor was visiting Japan, bringing his little queen consort to visit relatives, was there anything wrong with that?

No, it was perfectly reasonable.

Just this morning, Aiba Asagi had been sent to reunite with her sister in the capital.

But, just now, the Fourth Primogenitor suddenly disappeared and appeared on Kannagi Island, was there a problem?

No problem, the Lion King Organization didn't know why the Fourth Primogenitor knew about Kannagi Lake, or what was under Kannagi Lake.

And the Lion King Organization had immediately come forward to remedy the situation.

But the problem was that they were all blocked by that invisible barrier.

They couldn't get in at all, they were powerless.

The Lion King Organization could perfectly remove themselves from this matter.

But the problem was that if it weren't for him, this wouldn't have happened.

Yet Akatsuki Kisa was expressing gratitude to him.

Or perhaps there was more sarcasm than gratitude in that thanks.

"However, she should be truly grateful to me later."

"After all, I'm saving this old woman's life, at least allowing her to die a natural death."

The Lion King Organization didn't know what was sealed here, but he knew it very well.

It was the Swamp Dragon, serving as a vessel to guard the Holy Grail's legacy and the coordinates to another world.

Currently, its transformed dragon egg was sleeping deep within Kannagi Lake, having formed a symbiotic relationship with a magical beast called the Bee-Serpent.

The Bee-Serpent periodically provided nutrients to the Swamp Dragon, allowing the Swamp Dragon to maintain its existence.

Until long ago, when the Lion King Organization discovered the Bee-Serpent that brought disaster, deduced that the Holy Grail's legacy was hidden here, and discovered that sacrificing the memories of shrine maidens could suppress the disaster, things took a turn for the better.

The two sides reached a strange balance in repeated friction.

The Swamp Dragon stirred periodically, then freely received the shrine maidens offered by the Lion King Organization, completing its personality and thus becoming docile.

And the Lion King Organization mistakenly believed that sealing this Holy Grail legacy required shrine maidens as sacrifices, sacrificing an elderly, dying shrine maiden each time the Swamp Dragon became active.

One completed its personality, the other wanted to seal it, and the two sides inadvertently reached a tacit understanding, creating the current situation.

Which was the so-called situation where shrine maidens could be used as sacrifices to seal the Holy Grail's legacy.

All of the above information came from Mogwai.

According to Mogwai's calculations, the outbreak period of this seal was about two or three years later.

The Lion King Organization's elderly shrine maiden, Akatsuki Kisa, fit the bill perfectly.

"So, what to do next."

As he spoke, vast magical power spread from Haramura Makoto's body.

The huge roulette wheel solidified in the gathering of golden magic particles.

The two-headed dragon appeared in this world with a roar.

Then, the two-headed silver dragon transformed into a double-bladed trident amidst the roar.

"The easiest way to take out this dragon egg."

Haramura Makoto spoke as he reached out his hand, grabbed the shaft of the trident, and stabbed forward directly.

The pitch-black cavity unfolded brightly in front of Haramura Makoto, and layers of overlapping space were opened up.

In a trance!

The dragon egg, which was as big as a person, appeared in front of Haramura Makoto.

This was a very large egg, black overall, with some unknown patterns on it.

"Just take it out directly like this."

Without any hesitation or delay, Haramura Makoto directly reached out his hand and placed it on the giant egg.

This was the dragon egg that the Swamp Dragon had transformed into.

(It's really not fully developed. At its current level, it's at most equivalent to an eight-year-old human child.)

"So the task of teaching children is still up to you."

Haramura Makoto laughed out loud.

(I'll help her mature first, otherwise this little guy might get agitated when he sees the little girl.)

(Don't even mention handing over the legacy to you, he might even fight you.)

(After all, it's a child's nature.)

The voice of Yasha of the White Night rang in Haramura Makoto's mind, and the next second, the giant egg pressed by Haramura Makoto had disappeared.

It disappeared as if it had been teleported away in an instant.

"OK!"

"It's coming."

The pitch-black cavity in front of him suddenly closed.

Surging magical power, like rolling seawater, began to boil under Haramura Makoto's feet.

Similarly, Haramura Makoto also ascended directly into the air.

His gaze coldly watched the artificial lake under his feet, which had been completely filled with magical power.

"Bang bang bang!"

At that moment, the sound of water splashing exploded.

The water surface was like it was boiling directly, constantly churning with bubbles, exploding, and then a pitch-black figure shot out from the water surface.

It was a group of monsters.

A group of monsters that were about three or four meters long, with heads that resembled wasps, bodies like snakes, and wings like pterosaurs, with compound eyes and long snake tails, looking like both bees and snakes, and although they had the outlines of organic life forms, their texture was similar to that of artificial objects.

Such monsters occupied the entire sky as densely as locusts.

Even so, it seemed that the locusts were still endless, constantly emerging from the lake.

"He actually unlocked the seal, what exactly did he do."

Outside the barrier, Shizuneyo widened her eyes, looking at the Bee-Serpents that swarmed out in an instant, and said in surprise.

Her current location was outside the barrier.

Outside the suddenly rising azure barrier, watching all of this in front of her.

A lake that required the life of a shrine maiden to calm down every time it stirred.

She had heard of it for a long time.

But, it was obvious that this seal had now been opened.

And it was opened directly without any ceremony.

"Isn't this normal!"

"Although I don't know where this person comes from, and I don't know what relationship he has with the original Fourth Primogenitor, it's enough that he has enough power."

Saying such words, Endou En directly appeared behind Shizuneyo, and reached out and put her hand on her shoulder.

Haramura Makoto's identity was not a secret to some people with ulterior motives.

After all, he and the original Fourth Primogenitor were too different.

He knew too many things that the Fourth Primogenitor didn't know.

These were not things that a Primogenitor who had been asleep for a long time could know.

But so what.

This person had more power than the Fourth Primogenitor, and that was enough.

Moreover, they could all see that this person didn't have the bad habits and madness of vampires, who were long-lived species.

His mental state was closer to that of a human.

"Moreover, compared to this, the group of guys we've been waiting for have arrived."

"Now it's time for you to act."

Shizuneyo quickly entered work mode, and the expression on her face returned to a calm appearance.

"I understand."

……

"What's going on here."

"If possible, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation."

About fourteen or fifteen years old, that is, a girl who had just entered high school.

The girl's ancient-style black hair, like a waterfall, reached her waist, complementing her beautiful features.
