Rise of an Empire

At the suggestion of Sato Takara, the Duke decided to take Yamamura Sadako to Asakusa Shrine to have a look.

Although Kagura Chiharu is somewhat reluctant to allow outsiders to enter the ancestral shrine, she also knows that the United States is now so powerful that even the emperor has to bow his head. Although she is the leader of Japanese shamans, she must also give to the opposite person. Guys have a face.

From the top of the mountain, walk less than two kilometers to a mountain col that is sheltered from the wind. Several shrines that are obviously left over from the medieval century are located in the col.

Even though it is still covered in white snow and bitingly cold in other places, it is as warm as spring inside the mountain col. Flowers are in bloom and butterflies are dancing everywhere, giving people the feeling of a fairyland on earth.

"Asakusa Jingu Shrine was built in the Asuka Period and has been managed by my Kagura family for more than 1,300 years." Although I don't really want to let Conrad, a foreigner, enter Asakusa Jingu Shrine, since it has already Here, Kagura Chiharu felt that she should let the other party understand the glorious history of the Kagura family.

"As the head of Japanese shamans, our Kagura family has been in charge of various major matters such as worshiping at sacred mountains and praying for Japan for more than a thousand years. We are one of the three imperial families under His Majesty the Emperor. In addition to the grand festival held once every ten years at Asakusa Shrine, , is never open to the common people."

Kagura Chiharu began to tell proudly.

"Well, after a long time, your family is responsible for dancing the great god." Just the Duke's words almost made Kagura Qianharu's three zombie gods jump.

On the way here, Conrad had vaguely learned the truth about the last battle in Ginza from Sato Takara. It turned out that the miko he killed in a sneak attack was the twin sister of the girl in front of him, Kagura Hyakki.

Each generation of the Kagura family has two twin sisters. One will serve the gods all his life and remain pure until death, while the other will recruit a man as a wife when he reaches adulthood, thus giving birth to a pair of twin sisters to inherit the Kagura family. inheritance.

Originally, the governor of the Kagura family should be Kagura Hyakki, but because she died in Tokyo last year, and the successor Kagura Mange is only two years old now, there is no way to inherit the Kagura family's inheritance, so Kagura Chiharu then temporarily took over the post of Kagura Family Governor.

After listening to Sato Takara's story, Conrad felt that there were too many flaws, and for a while he didn't even know where to start.

You said that every generation gives birth to a pair of twin sisters. Does the Kagura family have any folk remedies? Otherwise, why are they so accurate?

And the Kagura family's skills in naming women are really terrible.

Hundreds of ghosts, thousands of springs, thousands of turtles, what if there is another generation?

It’s just that the name Kagura Mangame seems a bit familiar.

Kagura Chiharu ran back to the shrine angrily. From the first time she saw Conrad, she felt that this Westerner was disgusting. If she stayed with him again, she was afraid that she would really be tempted to take out the money. The spell is here to ward off demons.

"My lord, you don't seem to like Kagura Kagura very much," Sato Takara asked Conrad with a slight smile.

After spending more than ten days with the Duke, Sato Gao Liang already knew that the gentleman in front of him was actually quite easy to talk to, and he didn't need to maintain that respectful attitude at all times around him. Conrad actually preferred girls to be more natural.

As for the Duke's somewhat macho thoughts and behaviors in Westerners' minds,

Please, this is Japan. Do Japanese women dare to argue with men about human rights?

From the fact that Eisaku Sato can send his biological daughter directly to Conrad to borrow seeds, we can see what the status of Japanese women is.

"It's nothing, I just can't stand her appearance of being the best in the Kagura family." The Duke walked to the flowers with a smile and said looking at the blooming flowers in front of him.

"The Kagura family is the best in the world." Before Sato Takara could reply, he heard a milky voice coming from the flowers.

Two little twin girls holding hands emerged from behind the flowers. Both little girls puffed out their cheeks angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with what someone said.

"How old are you two little devils?" Conrad squatted down in a funny way and looked in front of him.
