Voluon-san and Co to co about the reason e ca Aru and Mikoto's abduction and the threat that the 'Eclipse' was i us out, he could only sh with that confession, everything had been forgiven

「It seems that my people caused quite a bit of trouble to you However, although the kidnapped children may be held at the Taisha, you never know It would certainly be plausible with the report that said that an unknown Shrine Maiden was recently seen there」

It goes without saying that ere relieved to hear that

Makoto was said to have returned to the Taisha about a week ago

I thought it was strange that there was no tih we crossed the ocean, but now it seems that there was about a seven days' worth of difference in our perceptions

「I highly doubt that the Taisha will agree to give the this matter peacefully is h that new Shrine Maiden is very peculiar, the others have accepted her like one of their own If that is indeed so, the whole of the Taisha is bound to be involved in this」

Nectar says so like that, and my shoulders drop in despair

I know that they will probably keep Aru unhars could be done to hi the Taisha did not change But then Mikado-san told us soave us is truly a useful thing I thought there was so on with the Taisha, and I wanted to find out what it was, but I had no means to actually do that」

Okay, so he was also interested in the Taisha but couldn't get what he wanted, right?

I don't really get what he was talking about and looked back at him, to which Mikado-san looks rather surprised

「Fuanization that can have access to pretty much anywhere in the land, but no one other than its members can visit its headquarters or branch offices」

Hearing that was quite surprising

They also explained to us that no one knows the exact location of the Taisha's headquarters, except for its Shrine Maidens

The only way to get in was to use the teleportation circles inside of the branch offices, and only those recognized by the guardian spirits of said offices could do that

「Frouardian deity of the on But aside from that, we don't knohy the Gods would create such an institution where only a selected few could freely enter in the first place」

「You'd better be grateful for us telling you all this Initially, my contract stated that I was not to disclose any of this information no matter what」

Mikado-san looked content, while Karursan let out a deep sigh

It seeroup of de to infiltrate the Taisha's headquarters by h the leylines

However, they were quickly discovered by the guardian deity of the Taisha, Ten-san, and disposed of Many of theed to survive were changed intodemons were stripped of their names and most of their power by the Towa Gods, never to be able to reveal theh ranking demon at the time - was also somehow affected by that and it severely crippled her ability to establish contracts with people

In any event, for noe knew that the enenable, with only real way inside to be invited there by someone from the Taisha itself

「I see, so that is e are unable to pinpoint Aru and Mikoto's exact location」

「They are being held at the Taisha but you're still able to sense thehly, Karursan still opened her eyes in surprise

「We were also trying to contact them, but so far there has been no response Please letthat will ontoright now

「So I guess it's decided, then」

Before we could actually answer Karursan's request, Mikado-san spoke up

「I was having doubts about the Taisha and their influence on Towa for some time now Please, let me join you so I can see the truth with my own eyes」

「Doubts, you say?」

Asked Senjiro, to which Mikado-san's face became stiff

「I'll tell you more when the time comes Your job will be to find a way to infiltrate the Taisha I'll lend you as much man power and resources as you need And in case you'll need more, you can just let Karura know」

「Ha?」

「Senjiro will also need a new spear I shall introduce you to a good blacksainst youht That is why I will also try to contact Kaneko, see if I can get hin dragon No, Lavdono I can call you that, right? I just thought of a job that is going to be perfect for you You can get to it right away」

「He?」

「We shall provide lodging for you, as well as food, infor for us in return After all, you won't get a better chance at succeeding in what you intend to do」

Mikado-san laughs whilein all of us focusing our gazes on hi her hand on her forehead, her expression see: ”Ahh, here comes another one of his bad habits……”

With the circuether with Mikado-san in for ould be known as 'The Taisha Infiltration Strategy' With that, ere heavily indebted to hiated by Mikado-san, Nectar began to work towards pinpointing the actual location of the Taisha headquarters

I was actually pretty worried, but I was allowed to study soic of Towa better, their demons and various kinds of rituals and contracts they were practicing here

Everyone was rather busy throughout the day

As proot his spear re he was delegated to aid the Guardians in their duties

It see overridden with ated to hunting the the peace

So the reason for Mikado-san to be in the restricted zone was so that he could see the scale of the problem with his own eyes

But now that Senjiro was here to help, there was nothing for hiht to leave hiht have ended up doing so stupid si to worry about

And since he was saying not to worry, we had no choice but to actually trust him and leave thatMikado-san for help in my research, but ultiave the idea a rest

「I would like you to aid ouronly you can do, and besides, if you were to siet in trouble if one of the Taisha's lackeys were to notice you」

So just like that, I was asked to help the Towathe deing here fro under was, u like that, I believe

But I quickly learned that the Samurai - the equivalent of nobles in this country - were more or less the same as the nobles back in Ballow, and so I decided to avoid the with the about how Mikoto and the other Shrine Maidens had to deal with those people…… Wow, talk about scary and bothersome at the same time

However, since from time to time there also happened to be some bad people ere connected to thehanded to us for the purpose of interrogation
