"This is Harutori Shrine. We've arrived at the final stop, please alight!"
"We'll wait here for two hours."
A stewardess smiled and bowed. Hokkaido was vast and sparsely populated. This bus was a chartered one, and there were only twelve passengers on board. They were all members of the Domination Society.
They did not have to pay for their own expenses. The Sakato family's service was very attentive and warm.
On the bus, a young man in casual clothes was playing with his phone. It was Pei Zi Yun. When he heard this, he stood up from his seat and put away his phone. He picked up his bag and stretched. "Hmm, we're finally here?"
"Let's go."
"Hey, is this the last shrine?" Enayama Shinta, Murata Seiichiro, and the rest filed out. Kuwako followed Pei Zi Yun happily.
"Kuwako, how do you feel?"
"Very good. In the past, I had time but no money. Now, I'm very busy with work and have no time. I can only enjoy myself this time."
Pei Zi Yun smiled and rubbed her little head. "Have fun then. Naomi, you're in charge of taking care of her. Also, take some pictures as a memento."
"Hai!" Hayakawa Naomi stole a glance at Pei Zi Yun and blushed. She took out a silly camera and looked at it expectantly.
These pictures would be precious memories for her in the future.
It had been a long time since the incident at the Sakato Main Hall.
And now, Pei Zi Yun was following Sakato Genko's request to come to this place — Harutori Shrine. As the name suggested, it was the shrine of Harutori Hime.
However, this place was a little remote, and the transportation was not very convenient.
To reach Harutori Shrine, they could only take a bus. However, the bus could not reach it directly. It could only stop at the nearest parking spot. After alighting from the bus, they still had to climb a small mountain before they could reach it.
Pei Zi Yun led the group up the mountain. There were steps on the mountain. They climbed a small section and walked slowly. Looking at the surrounding scenery, they realized that the mountains were green and the water was clear. It was full of life. Indeed, this was a good place.
Not long after, Pei Zi Yun saw Harutori Shrine. From afar, he realized that the shrine was very quiet and there was no noise.
"The style looks relatively simple. It's not because they don't have enough money. Is it because of the specifications?" Pei Zi Yun realized that the Spring Bird Shrine wasn't very big. Perhaps it was because of its remote location, there were very few visitors to the shrine. This made the originally quiet shrine seem even more tranquil.
It was noon, and sunlight shone through the leaves and onto the ground. When it landed on the buildings of the shrine, it formed spots of light that looked very dazzling.
"Wash your hands and pay your respects!" The so-called worship was to first wash one's hands and rinse one's mouth, then put one's palms together and bow to the hall. There was no need to burn incense or kowtow.
Then, he took the imperial red seal and stamped it on the red seal. After paying 6000 Ryu, he gave the account and the money to a witch. She said politely, "Please wait a moment."
There were many shrines in Japan, and each shrine had a different set of Imperial Scarlet Seals. Collecting Imperial Scarlet Seals was a tedious, lucky, and expensive activity.
At this point, another witch walked over and asked, "Are you Yamada-kun?"
Pei Zi Yun replied, "Yes."
The witch, who was dressed in white, bowed and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Hi, Yamada-kun, Yuanhimo is waiting for you in front!"
"Please come to the main hall!" The witch straightened her back and said. Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and said to the group of people, "You guys take a look around, I'll be right back."
The main hall was where the deities were placed. The hall was where the deities were placed, and the hall was where the rituals were performed. Most visitors wouldn't disturb the main hall.
The witch walked in front and led Pei Zi Yun inside. As they neared the main hall, they saw Ban Higashi Genko who had stood up to welcome them.
Ban Higashi Genko was dressed in a kimono, and had a flower in her hair. She didn't look very solemn, but she seemed to fit in with the Spring Bird Shrine.
Ban Higashi Genko bowed ninety degrees to Pei Zi Yun and said warmly, "Welcome to the Spring Bird Shrine!"
After not seeing her for half a month, the skinny fourteen year old girl had grown into a slender and elegant woman. Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ban Higashi Genko pointed to the side and said to Pei Zi Yun, "Yamada-kun, please take a seat. Also, call me Genko!"
Pei Zi Yun looked around and saw a short table with a few stools. At least he wasn't sitting cross-legged. There were fruits on the table that looked unusually fresh, as though they had just been picked not long ago.
Pei Zi Yun didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and sat down.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun had taken his seat, Ban Higashi Genko clapped her hands and a few witches rushed in. These witches were dressed in white and had different accessories on their heads. They held fans and bells in their hands. Undoubtedly, these were witches who were here to perform.
Music started playing as the witches played various instruments. Some of the witches started dancing. This was the Divine Dance, which was said to have originated from the story of the Heavenly Cliff House. Susanoo disobeyed his father's orders and wreaked havoc in Takama-ga-hara, causing his sister Amaterasu to hide in the Heavenly Stone House. Takama-ga-hara became a world of darkness. This was the Divine Dance, which was known as the Divine Dance.
Although there were some differences between the different shrines, the concept was the same.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the witches who were dancing and felt a sense of tranquility. His entire body felt relaxed.
What Pei Zi Yun didn't know was that when Ban Higashi Genko clapped her hands and asked the witches to perform the Divine Dance, the witches were very surprised. This was because this dance was meant to entertain the gods.
The witches of Harutori Shrine were not newcomers. These witches were all from the Ban Higashi Financial Group and had been trained by them since they were young. It was hard to imagine that a teenager like him would receive such treatment from Ban Higashi Genko.
Pei Zi Yun admired the Divine Dance performed by the witches in front of him. He took a bite of a snack and asked Ban Higashi Genko, "Genko, is this your family's shrine?"
Ban Higashi Genko pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes."
Everyone else thought that she was referring to the assets of the Ban Higashi Financial Group. However, as Pei Zi Yun looked at the Divine Dance performed by the witches in front of him, he could feel that there was a faint glow within the dance, as if it was welcoming its owner.
It seemed like Ban Higashi Genko had successfully fused with Harutori Hime.
"I still have to apologize to Yamada-kun."
"Because, it took me half a month to invite you over." Ban Higashi Genko said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
"It's nothing, it doesn't matter. Besides, I can understand. I've heard that you've become the head of the Ban Higashi family. There must be many things you need to settle." Pei Zi Yun laughed. He really understood. He then asked Ban Higashi Genko, "I heard that the Ban Higashi Financial Group is in turmoil. Their stocks have fallen by quite a bit."
"It's nothing. It's just that there are some people in the Ban Higashi Financial Group who don't know about it. Some are not happy." Ban Higashi Genko spoke as if it had nothing to do with her, "Some of them voluntarily withdrew their shares, while others had no choice but to do so."
"There are always some fluctuations, but it's all over now." Ban Higashi Genko asked, "Yamada-kun, are you going back now?"
"Yes." Pei Zi Yun replied. He had been in Hokkaido for half a month now, and had visited all eleven districts of Hokkaido. It could be said that he was very satisfied. Since school was about to start, he naturally had to return.
"If that's the case!" Ban Higashi Genko took out a contract from her bosom and presented it to Pei Zi Yun with both hands. She then said in a serious tone, "Yamada-kun, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Pei Zi Yun took a look. On the contract, it stated that it was five thousandth of the shares of the Tachiki Electric Company. Pei Zi Yun knew about this company. It was an important subsidiary of the Ban Higashi Financial Group. This five thousandth of the shares was equivalent to a hundred million ryu. Every year, he would receive a dividend of three million ryu.
If he were to sell it, it would not be a problem to earn a premium of one hundred and thirty million ryu.
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and accepted the contract without hesitation. He had saved her life, so he had no qualms about accepting this sum of money. Seeing this, Ban Higashi Genko was very satisfied. She then lowered her head and said, "Actually, I can't repay you with this. However, I've just taken over the Ban Higashi family, so this is all I can do."
She wasn't willing to talk about this topic. She then changed the topic and said, "Yamada-kun, I've read your three new books!"
"I have to say, they're really good!! They definitely have the ability to reach the top!! "
"Hence, whatever you want, my Ban Higashi Financial Group will definitely cooperate!"
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he was instantly energized. This was the biggest reward he had received.
If it wasn't for the system's mission to protect her, her original goal would have been to get help from the Ban Higashi Financial Group so that her books could receive three great rewards and become a legend in Japan.
Now, she had finally achieved her goal!
However, thinking about it, the reason why she had achieved her goal so easily was because she had interfered with the key point of fate. This world couldn't predict the future like the Greek myths. However, the system always had a target in mind. Pei Zi Yun understood and felt this way.
"However, Yamada-kun, I'm very sorry!"
"I'm afraid that my matter might bring you some trouble." Ban Higashi Genko said slowly, "Hence, if you meet with any trouble in the future, please look for me."
Pei Zi Yun smiled and picked up a snack to eat. He then said to Ban Higashi Genko, "I'm not afraid of trouble. Of course, if something happens, I'll look for you."
"That's for the best!" Ban Higashi Genko nodded her head slightly.
At this point, the Divine Dance ended.
Pei Zi Yun stood up and said to Ban Higashi Genko, "I'll take my leave now!"
Ban Higashi Genko sent Pei Zi Yun a few steps away. Just as Pei Zi Yun was about to leave, she whispered to him, "Yamada-kun, be careful of the inheritance ceremony."
"However, if it's Yamada-kun, I'm sure it won't be a problem."
"Also, if you receive any additional rewards from the Ban Higashi family, please accept them." Ban Higashi Genko smiled, but there was a hint of coldness between her brows.
Of course, this coldness wasn't directed at Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun didn't want to interfere with the internal affairs of the Ban Higashi family. He only smiled and said, "If someone gives it to me for free, of course I'll accept it."
As he said this, he turned around and bowed, "Genko, please stay."
As he said this, he shouted. Instantly, twelve people came from all corners of the shrine and laughed as they walked out of the shrine towards the bus below.
Seeing Pei Zi Yun leave, Ban Higashi Genko let out a heavy sigh and ordered, "Bring them up."
A few people were brought up. There were both men and women. Ban Higashi Genko held a fan and said, "Kill them!"
"Hai!" The long sword chopped down, and a head fell to the ground, rolling in front of the shrine. Fresh blood spurted out a few feet. In an instant, the entire shrine was filled with killing intent.
