"My mother and sisters are on the record, too?" Sei Itō asked with a frown.
"That's right, unless you're a Rogue, as long as you have a fixed clan, your name will be recorded," Eriko said.
"What happens if they're on the record?" Sei Itō asked.
"If you're an ordinary Psionicist like your second sister, you'll only have your name recorded. However, those whose names are on the record will be forcibly recruited during special times. They are also obliged to clean up the demon creatures in the area they're staying in. " Eriko had an angry and sorrowful look on her face when she mentioned the cleaning up of the demon creatures. It was obvious that something was going on.
"If that's the case, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Obligations are just obligations. We don't necessarily have to carry them out," Sei Itō said in confusion.
"Humph, that's the main point." Eriko's expression immediately turned into disgust. She said, "The people from the Ministry of the Environment will always check the time. If the density of demon creatures in the area you're staying in reaches a certain level, the Ministry of the Environment has the right to force you to expel the demon creatures. If you don't carry out the order, the Ministry of the Environment will release your information to the demon creatures two times later. The demon creatures will surely come looking for you. "
"Those assholes!" Sei Itō was well aware of the consequences of releasing his name to the demon creatures.
Not every demon creature is that strong. Normally, the demon creatures that managed to survive after having their demon creatures expelled for generations were no ordinary creatures. At the same time, their anger toward Magician Tui was building up in their hearts. They might even take revenge on Magician Tui at any time. The consequences would be unpredictable. Besides, no one could tell if there was only one demon creature, a few demon creatures, or even a group of them.
Then, Ito Sei was stunned as he recalled a question from his mother's words. "Mother, in what you said just now, does' an ordinary psionicist like your second sister 'mean that Big Sis is also a person who has been specially recorded?"
As for his mother, there was no need to ask. His mother was also the only descendant of the Ito Family at that time. How could she not be taken away by his father?
"That's right. Your eldest sister became a special record holder by chance." Her mother didn't seem to be willing to talk about it, so she simply explained.
"Oh, then which area are we in charge of?" Sei Itō knew better than to ask another question.
"Our family is mainly in the area around the Ito Shrine, but after all, the Ito Family has been there for more than 200 years, plus your grandfather is there, so there's no problem. Basically, we just have to clean up the area around the New Year Festival every year. As for the other area, it was near the place where we were currently living. There wasn't much of a requirement. As long as they saw it, they could clean it up. After all, the scope of the Tokyo urban area is mainly under the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment. "Eriko said.
"I see." Sei Itō nodded.
"In two days, you should go back to your grandfather's place and learn Yin-Yang Jutsu. You can also protect yourself." Eriko said after explaining the general rules.
"Got it. I also want to go back to the shrine." Sei Itō nodded.
Maybe it was because she said something, Eriko was obviously in a better mood. She took the teacup and went to the living room to watch TV. At this time, his eldest sister, Suzu Ito, who had just taken a shower, came over in pajamas. She took out a glass of ice water from the refrigerator and held it in her hand. She looked at Sei Itō and said.
"Mother told you everything?"
"En." Sei Itō nodded.
"You have to be more careful in the future. Demons have all kinds of strange abilities. Sometimes, it's not just demons that are scary, but other things as well." Suzu Ito didn't elaborate, but Sei Itō understood that most of the other things referred to people. There were all kinds of birds in the forest. Not all of the demon retreats were good people. There were all kinds of people because of their own interests and different temperaments. They could draw their swords at you at any time because of something. Then, there were other unknown dangers …
"En." Sei Itō responded softly. Then, he said to Suzu Ito, "Eldest sister, how's the family recently?"
"The family is very good. It's still the same. It's just that the three of us are a little busy because of the Summer Festival." Suzu Ito leaned against the kitchen table and said while watching the TV in the living room.
"Summer Festival? That's right. It's almost August 15th. "Sei Itō said with a smile.
"It just so happens that you're back. If you have nothing to do, you should help me." Suzu Ito smiled.
"Well, I'll be going back to grandpa tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can help." Sei Itō said.
"En." Suzu Ito nodded and drank the water in her hand. She washed the cup in the sink a few times and put it back. Then, she turned and walked back to the room.
Sei Itō behind her looked at Suzu Ito's beautiful legs exposed under her pajamas. His pupils shrank. He put away the strange thoughts that he shouldn't have and quickly walked back to the room. He took out the ancient books that he bought at the Enlightenment Literature Store and read them. Sei Itō read them very carefully, especially the content of Taoism. After all, talisman paper was an external object. Only magic was a part of oneself. As a warrior, Sei Itō valued himself the most.
For the next two days, Sei Itō fulfilled his duty as a son at home. He accompanied his mother and sister to live their daily lives. On the third day, he left for the Ito Shrine.
After arriving at the Ito Shrine, he was naturally tested by Don Ito. At the same time, he also told him about his recent experiences, such as exorcism. Naturally, he won the praise of the old man. The old man's original words were, "What kind of man is a man if he doesn't kill?" Sei Itō was very speechless.
After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, Sei Itō went to the Sutra Pavilion in the backyard of the shrine and began to read.
Of course, he didn't know about this. During the day, he would come out to help his mother Eriko and the old man who presided over the shrine to prepare for the Summer Festival. During this time, Don Ito and his mother Eriko also went out of the shrine to the government department to discuss. It seemed to be going smoothly. Soon, an official came to the shrine to announce the appointment of the Ito Shrine as the chief priest of the Summer Festival.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On the night before the Summer Festival, Sei Itō's mother, eldest sister, and second sister came to the shrine together. This was the first time that the Ito family lived together in the shrine.
Accompanied by the soft sound of the bamboo forest around the shrine, a leisurely and warm atmosphere filled the whole shrine.
The next morning, before five o 'clock, Sei Itō and his family all got up. After taking a bath and changing clothes, Sei Itō and Don Ito changed into the priest's robes. His mother Eriko, eldest sister, and second sister changed into the traditional red and white Miko costume (don't expect red and white arms, if you want to fantasize about a certain Miko, you have to imagine it yourself). Looking at his eldest sister and second sister who were wearing the Miko costume, Sei Itō's eyes flashed with a different light. Fortunately, Sei Itō still knew what ethics and morality were.
His mother held the Shinto banner and followed behind Ito Kikujiro. His eldest sister Suzu Ito and second sister Ito Reina each held a golden fan and a silver fan. They each held a bell and followed behind his mother. Sei Itō followed Ito Kikujiro into the main hall of the shrine. Under the leadership of Don Ito, they carried out the most traditional prayer ceremony in Shinto.
This process took nearly 10 minutes. After everything was done, after a quick breakfast, Itou took Itou Seisei to the square where the sacrificial ceremony would begin. Itou Seisei took the government car that came to pick him up and went to the square where the sacrificial ceremony would begin. While presiding over the ceremony, he also wanted to let Sei Itō familiarize himself with the priest's duties.
There were only three people left in the shrine, Eriko and her mother Eriko presiding over the shrine. The Ito sisters were responsible for receiving pilgrims and tourists who might come later.
As the sun jumped out from the horizon, the Summer Festival began …
After the Summer Festival, they would probably go to the New World.
