In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
It was a long time ago since Yuta had gotten into a car accident. On Saturday morning, Hayakawa Naomi carried her backpack and held her lunch box in her hands, "Mom, I'm leaving! I have a club event today, I have to get there early! "
"Wait, Naomi-chan, mom will give you some pocket money. You can't cause trouble for the president and others during a club event!" Hayakawa's mother, Hayakawa Tasuko, said.
She was originally Tsukasa Tasuko, but after she got married, she changed her surname to Hayakawa. She had long black hair and wore a pair of glasses. She was tall and wore a navy blue dress. She gave off a mature and gentle aura. She was usually gentle and steady, but now her eyes were red as she held back her tears. She listened to her daughter bid farewell and turned her head away from her as she took out 5,000 yen from her pocket.
"Thank you, mom!" Hayakawa Naomi said goodbye.
Hayakawa Tasuko watched her daughter leave and wiped away her tears. Her eyes were filled with anticipation for a bright future.
How long had it been since Hayakawa Tasuko had seen her daughter so happy? It was as if her face was glowing.
In the past, Hayakawa Naomi would return home after school and go straight to her bedroom. She would not talk to her and would do her homework alone. Occasionally, she would play with her dolls.
Every time she saw this, Hayakawa Tasuko felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart. She knew that her daughter was ostracized and had no friends.
Hayakawa Naomi had not been like this before. However, there were rumors that Hayakawa Naomi was an 'unlucky star'. Many unfortunate things had happened around her.
Especially on the day she went to school. Within a day, all her family members had met with misfortune.
From then on, the cheerful Hayakawa Naomi had become a different person. She was quiet and would return home after school. She would even hide in her room, not daring to meet anyone.
To the Japanese, due to their collective nature, they cared a lot about the evaluation of others. This might seem a little abnormal in the eyes of outsiders, but it wasn't uncommon for them to commit suicide. At the thought of this, Hayakawa Tazuko couldn't help but feel sad. However, a smile soon appeared on her face.
Ai, fortunately, her daughter had become much more lively in the past two weeks!
This was all because Hayakawa Naomi had joined Pei Zi Yun's Ruling Nation Society. Her daughter had regained her youthful vigor.
"Department Head Yamada is such a good person!" Hayakawa Tasuko mumbled.
Room 206
After two weeks of cleaning, the floor was so clean that one could see the reflection of the mirror. The tables and chairs were even more so. The bookshelves were filled with information about various shrines and historical research. There was a water dispenser and a microwave. If he was hungry, he could heat up a bento.
Pei Zi Yun sat down and flipped through the information on Hayakawa Naomi that the Sakanoue Sanko had gathered with the help of the Mikawa Shrine.
Pei Zi Yun flipped through the pages quickly. When he reached a certain page, his eyes focused on it.
At the same time, Pei Zi Yun took out his phone and wrote an email. He asked Sakako Sanako, "Are you sure that Hayakawa Naomi is related to that legendary thing?"
Soon, Sakako replied to Pei Zi Yun's email, saying, "Yes, Hayakawa Naomi may have the blood of mermaids."
In Japan, the origin of the mermaid was like this in the myth. The Sea God of Japan, Kaijin no Hime, had a dragon tail because of the influence of the Dragon King in the process of formation. It was said that the first generation of the Mikado had the blood of the Sea God, which extended to many other gods, such as the God of the Tide, the God of the Wind, and the mermaid was its descendant.
"Can the blood of the mermaid make people immortal?" Pei Zi Yun sent an email and asked. He used his phone to search for information about the blood of the mermaid, but found that he could only find some legends about the mermaid. There was no information about the blood of the mermaid.
"Sure enough, some important things will not be known to the outside world!" Pei Zi Yun looked at the search results and said silently.
"No, of course not. How can it have the effect of immortality? Even the legendary gods have never heard of a divine medicine that can make people immortal. "
"But the blood of the mermaid, strictly speaking, the heart of the mermaid, is a very precious thing. Although it can't make people immortal, it can slow down aging. However, it has to be offered voluntarily. If it is not drunk, it will turn into a monster. Our shrine has recorded several examples of such failure after forcibly taking the heart of the mermaid."
"The key is that each mermaid has at most three drops. In recent years, due to the degeneration of the blood, there is only one drop, so it is difficult to distinguish."
"No matter how you coax it, it is difficult to guarantee that it is completely voluntary, so it is a gamble." Sakako replied and then sent another email.
"Moreover, the blood of the mermaid is very rare. The last time it appeared was three hundred years ago, and it caused a conflict. It even led to the third generation of generals and the related shrines to be involved."
"Now, it is reasonable to say that the blood of the mermaid should be extinct. Because the blood of the mermaid cannot be inherited stably, even if the previous generation has the blood of the mermaid, there is still an 80 to 90% chance that the next generation will not have it. In this case, after the research of various shrines, it was found that the blood of the mermaid can only appear in atavism."
Sakako Sanako sent another email to add, "Yamada Ki, please be careful! If this is the case, we know why this happened to Hayakawa Naomi. It must be the people of the Uchiyama Group or the people behind them who want the blood of the mermaid, so they want to force Hayakawa Naomi into a corner, and then give her a little sunshine, so that she will be willing to offer it. "
"However, this has not happened for hundreds of years. Is there anyone who wants to do this now?"
Pei Zi Yun replied, "I understand."
However, Pei Zi Yun still had some doubts. He sent another email and asked, "How did the Uchiyama Group know that Hayakawa Naomi might have the blood of the mermaid? Who is the person behind it? "
"Yamada Ki, we have already investigated the second level, and have made contact with the people behind the Uchiyama Group. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this!" Sakako replied.
Just as Pei Zi Yun finished sending the email to Sakako, Hayakawa Naomi arrived. In Japan, for the sake of collectivism, primary school students were required to wear uniforms in order to attend school.
After entering middle school (junior high school) and high school (senior high school), they were required to wear school uniforms, just like the soldiers in the army. Even if you were the child of a billionaire, it was the same. However, Hayakawa Naomi was relatively free on Saturdays and Sundays. This time, Hayakawa Naomi was wearing a white casual outfit, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister." Fukuoka Maya, Murata Seiichiro, and Hayakawa Naomi all bowed to him.
Now that everyone was present, Pei Zi Yun tidied up his things and smiled. He stood up and said, "Everyone, today is the first Saturday activity of our club."
"According to the plan, we will use Tokyo as the starting point. During this Saturday, we will travel and pay our respects to the surrounding five prefectures. We will draw up a map of our movements and leave a record of our visits."
"When we return, we will also draw up a magazine. This is a precious treasure for ourselves and our descendants, so that our youth and lives will not be wasted. Does everyone understand?"
"Yes, we understand." The so-called magazine was actually a weekly travel newspaper. Every year, it would be gathered together to form a magazine. Every three years, it would be gathered together to form a generation magazine. Everyone felt that it was very meaningful and agreed loudly.
Today was Pei Zi Yun's first official club activity, and everyone would be participating. Even Yuuta had recovered from the car accident.
This time, the Domination of the National Club activity would be held at the Maoki Shrine. The Maoki Shrine was a famous shrine in the area. It was the headquarters of over a hundred Maoki Shrines in Japan. The locals called it "Maoki Shrine".
The main hall of the Maoki Shrine was made up of two different buildings, the "Shrine" and the "Hall of Worship". It was an important cultural heritage of Japan. During the "Maoki Shrine Festival", many people came for sightseeing, and it was very lively.
Since the Summer Festival had not started yet, Pei Zi Yun wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were not many people around. He wanted to let the members of the Domination of the National Club get used to it, and prepare for the upcoming tour.
The Maoki Shrine was not far. Pei Zi Yun and the rest only took half an hour to reach it.
At the entrance of the Maoki Shrine, although it was not the peak season, there were many people who came to pay their respects.
Once they got off the car, Yuuta could not help but say to Pei Zi Yun, "Shinichi, this is great! I finally have the chance to play at the Maoki Shrine! The last time was during the Summer Festival. I came with my parents. It's a pity that there were too many people, and my parents were worried about me playing alone!! "
"This time, I must play to my heart's content!" Yuuta said excitedly.
"That's right!" Fukuoka Ma Ya also said with a look of longing, "I heard that when you come to the Maoki Shrine at night, you can enter from the south side of the shrine, and see the white lanterns in front of the shrine. It's said that the view is very breathtaking!"
"Let's go up together!" Pei Zi Yun brought the rest to the hand-washing house. This was a pavilion without walls. The four pillars were slightly inclined towards the center of the hand-washing house, and there was a water tray in the center. The group of people used ladles to fetch water, wash their hands, rinse their mouths, wash their hands again, and that was it.
Next, they went to the Hall of Worship. There were no statues in the Hall, and no incense was burned. They put in 5 (0.3 RMB) and pulled down the bell, indicating to the gods that they had arrived. They then bowed twice → clapped twice → clasped their hands together in prayer → bowed once. The above was considered complete, and there was no need to kowtow.
After paying their respects, Yuuta became excited and said, "Haha, we can play now! Although it's daytime now, there are many things to do in the Maoki Shrine. We can get rid of bad luck, drink some Shigeru wine, buy some straw ropes, and buy some Imperial Guards. The most important thing is that there are many delicacies in the Maoki Shrine! And it's right in front! "
Fukuoka Ma Ya said excitedly, "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and have a taste! "
She turned to Pei Zi Yun, "How about it? Minister, are you guys coming along? "
Pei Zi Yun said, "There's no need. I'll go and have a look first!"
Hayakawa Naomi said softly, "I, I, I'll follow the president!"
Murata Seiichiro scratched his head and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Minister, I'll go with Yuuta and Ma Ya. I want to try the delicacies of the Maoki Shrine as well. I've never had the chance to come here before."
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and got permission. The three of them rushed into the shrine, shouting, "We're here!"
Pei Zi Yun looked at them, turned around and said, "Naomi, let's go and pay the fees for the Imperial Red Seal!"
The previous 5 (0.3 RMB) did not count. They had to pay 600 in order to obtain the Imperial Red Seal. Their luck was pretty good this time. There weren't many people, but there were five of them. Together with the stubs of the shrine, they paid a total of 3,600. The other party politely received the seal. Although they were taken aback when they saw the shrine, they still wrote down the date and a message of congratulations. They also stamped the seal. This was the Imperial Red Seal.
Pei Zi Yun looked at it and thought to himself, 'The legend has finally begun!'
