Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

But this time, Xu Ming did not take the subway, but took the JR Yamanote Line.

About 10 minutes later, the tram arrived at Harajuku Station, and Xu Ming got off the tram with the crowd.

On the right hand side of the station is a dense forest nestled in the center of Tokyo city.

This is one of the five major shrines in Tokyo, the location of Meiji Shrine.

Although it is located in the bustling Shibuya district, it is like the only remaining pure land in the city center.

Xu Ming followed a large number of tourists and walked southward for [-] meters before turning into a long path in the woods.

The giant trees on both sides of the approach block out the sky and the sun, and the crisp birdsong is jumping among the leaves.

Surrounded by such a peaceful nature, Xu Ming felt that the negative emotions such as tension, fear, and excitement that had been in the past few days gradually calmed down.

Xu Ming originally came here with a purpose. He wanted to meet the palace secretary Fujinami Masaharu introduced to him by his mother-in-law Wen Xu, and took the opportunity to get to know people in the circle.

Unexpectedly, people didn't see it, but their restless mind was first washed by nature.

Xu Ming gradually slowed down, browsing slowly like a real tourist.

Walking along the approach, Xu Ming saw the sake and wine racks on both sides of the road offering sacrifices to the gods, and also saw the large torii gate at the intersection of the north and south approaches.

Following the crowds of tourists, Xu Ming took advantage of the opportunity to visit the shrine area and visited a series of scenic spots such as the third torii gate, the main hall, and the Kagura hall.

'Come again with your sister next time, shall we? '

Xu Ming thought while browsing with great interest.

But Xu Ming didn't forget his real purpose of coming here.

After browsing the main attractions, Xu Ming broke away from the crowd of tourists, turned to the small road, and then walked further and further away.

Soon the tourists on the road gradually disappeared, but there were more priestesses in white clothes and scarlet hakamas and priests in hunting clothes and high hats.

Soon Xu Ming was stopped by a witch with Ji hair.

"Sorry, guest, tourists are not allowed to enter here."

Miss Miko had a gentle smile on her face, but said in a tone that could not be refused.

Xu Ming had been prepared for a long time, and said calmly:

"I'm here to see Fujinami Masaharu."

Without waiting for her to refuse, Xu Ming took out the old imperial guard given to him by his mother-in-law Wen Xu from his pocket, and said to her:

"Give this to him, please, he will see me."

Seeing that Xu Ming not only told the full name of the palace secretary, but also took out the token, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the witch.

She took the guard with both hands, then bowed slightly:

"Guests, please wait a moment."

"sorry to bother you."

The witch left in a hurry.

Xu Ming had no choice but to stand by the side of the road, looking at the surrounding scenery boredly.

I have to say that without the intrusion of tourists, the scenery around here looks more quiet and elegant.

Ten minutes later, the witch came late.

"I kept you waiting, please follow me."

Saying that, the miko made a 'please' gesture.

Following in the footsteps of the witch, Xu Ming turned on a fork in the road.

There were no tourists at all along the way, only a priestess and a priest passed by the two of them.

The priests passing by were surprised when they saw Xu Ming whose clothes didn't fit here.

However, these clerics obviously had received strict etiquette education. Although they were very curious about Xu Ming, they did not point fingers behind his back.

Xu Ming followed the witch around and around, walked for about half an hour, and finally came to a secluded temple.

Xu Ming looked at the building in front of him curiously.

The shrine is not too big, and it is far worse than the main hall of the shrine that Xu Minggang has seen.

However, this temple hidden in the forest does not have a distant and peaceful atmosphere.

At this moment, the sliding door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Xu Ming.

"You... have we met somewhere?"

Looking at the figure coming out of the paper sliding door, Xu Ming couldn't help frowning, with a hesitant expression on his expression.

"It's really rude, classmate Xu Ming. We have been classmates for nearly a year, but you don't even remember my appearance?"

The man said lightly.

The girl who came out of the temple was also dressed as a priestess in white and scarlet hakama.

His short dark brown hair was tied into a neat single ponytail hanging behind his head.The girl's eyes were calm, but her eyes were bright as if they could penetrate people's hearts.The facial features are exquisite, the appearance is lovely, and it is very attractive.

The most important thing is that the aura naturally emanating from her body is consistent with the temple and forest behind her, peaceful and distant.

This dusty aura is not at all what a girl of this age should have, but rather like a hermit who has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years.

A name suddenly popped up in Xu Ming's mind.

"Are you Kato Megumi?"

Xu Ming said with some uncertainty.

"Student Xu Ming, please remove the '?'. I am your classmate, Kato Megumi."

she said lightly.

Seeing that the two of them really knew each other and seemed to have something to say, the witch who brought Xu Ming came said goodbye.

"Master Yu Shenzi, the guests have arrived, please allow me to leave first."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Kato Hui nodded lightly.

After the witch left, Kato Megumi led Xu Ming to the side hall of the temple.

After the two sat down on the clean wooden floor, Megumi Kato spoke first.

"Student Xu Ming, can you tell me, where did this come from?"

As Kato Megumi said, he put something on the floor and pushed it in front of Xu Ming. It was the guard that Xu Ming had given to the Miko before.

Xu Ming took back the guard and replied calmly:

"I received the admission notice from Yuanyue Tea House, and met Granny Wenxu in Jixing House. She gave me this imperial guard."

Xu Ming had a premonition in his heart that the Megumi Kato he met here might be the 'insider' he was looking for.

"I see."

Hearing Xu Ming's answer, Kato Megumi nodded slightly.

"Then Kato-san is..."

Xu Ming opened his mouth suddenly, and asked the doubt that had been in his heart just now.

"Fujibo Masaharu is my uncle, and I practiced at Meiji Shrine under his name."

Kato Hui briefly introduced his situation.

Then she slightly raised her eyes to look at Xu Ming, and said lightly:

"So, Xu Ming can tell me anything."

Xu Ming's eyes flickered for a moment, his face showed some hesitation, and he said hesitantly:

"I came across some 'unclean' things in Yuanyue tea house, so I wanted to come to Jingu to ask for some amulets or something."

After listening to Xu Ming's request, Megumi Kato's expression remained calm.

Xu Ming wasn't too sure if she was pretending to be unfathomable on purpose, or she was indeed an insider who was no longer surprised by what Xu Ming said.

After a while, Megumi Kato spoke.

"I see, please follow me."

After speaking, she stood up and walked out the door.

Xu Ming was a little confused, so out of curiosity, he followed behind her.

Kato Megumi led him to a clear pool behind the temple.

"Please stand here and don't move."

Kato Megumi pointed to the edge of the pool and said.

Xu Ming stood up obediently upon hearing this.

Then I saw Megumi Kato picking up a wooden spoon in the pool and scooping up a spoonful of pool water...

Xu Ming suddenly understood what she was going to do.

"Wait! Please wait...!"

Kato Megumi frowned slightly, and his tone suddenly became severe.

"Stand still, don't be distracted! I'm about to start the 'unplugging' ritual!"

Intimidated by her powerful aura, Xu Ming couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Whoa!

Before he could react, Megumi Kato poured a spoonful of water from the top of his head.

A clear coolness spread from the top of the head, and the tiredness from the previous tour was swept away, and the brain was refreshed.

"..."

Then without waiting for Xu Ming to express anything, Kato Megumi pulled out a handful of coins from somewhere, shook them, and then swept Xu Ming's body here and there.
