章 801: Conflict

This was his first time entering the main room of the shrine. Even though Yasaka also had one but he had never entered since that place was a sacred place of Amaterasu.

Amaterasu is a deity of the Japanese myth cycle and also a major deity of the Shinto religion. She is seen as the goddess of the sun and the universe.

It is also one of the deities that most worshipped in this country.

Yuuki didn't know what kind of deity that was living in this shrine since the priestess let them enter this place at ease without worry. However, he also understood that most of the deity in this country didn't care much about such a thing, only a minority of them wanted their worshipper to venerate them.

In his opinion, the deity isn't that much different from human only they live longer and have more power. They have become deity because the people in the past were quite dumb and those deities helped those people in needs and suddenly they were worshipped by them.

They entered the room and suddenly Yukari, who was by his side, became sleepy and slept.

Yuuki felt magic on him but it was useless and such weak magic wouldn't even be affecting him. He hurriedly caught her before she dropped on the ground. He frowned, "What are you planning, hag?"

"Oh? So this is your real personality?" The priestess said.

"I don't mind destroying this place if you keep saying a dumb thing," Yuuki didn't know what this old hag was planning to do.

"Yuuki, calm down," Akane tried to stop him.

Yuuki looked at Akane. "Do you work with her?" He knew that their relationship was very close to each other.

"No!" Akane shook her head hurriedly when she heard his words. She felt a bit hurt but she also understood his personality well. She looked at the priestess and said, "Hurry up and tell us before this guy really destroys your shrine."

"....."

"So how is the situation outside?" The priestess asked.

"Of course, it was chaotic," Akane answered.

"As expected, huh? I have also received a message from Ebisu-sama that there is someone who is threatening the world," the priestess said.

"You don't answer my question! Why are you trying to make us sleep?" Yuuki asked.

"I was only testing you. I was wondering whether you are a magician like your mother and it seems that you're a magician," the priestess said and apologized, "I am sorry for startling you." She only felt it for a moment but she knew that this young man was a very powerful magician.

"..."

Yuuki observed this hag for a while to see whether she was lying or not.

"...."

"If you just want to ask don't do such a round way bout," Yuuki said and asked, "So this performance is just your way of asking us to come?"

The priestess shook her head, "No, it is your father who wants to make the summer festival become merrier."

"...."

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say now.

"I have just noticed that you have shown powerful energy inside your body. I am not expecting you to be this strong though, as expected of her son," the priestess said.

"We don't need to clean our body, right?" Yuuki said.

"No," the priestess said and asked, "If you want a room, you can rest in that room."

Yuuki nodded and brought Yukari with him to the room that was pointed by the priestess. He didn't really want his identity to be known by the people in the supernatural world since it was too troublesome. He was glad that his magic was very overpowered. He checked the room whether there were some strange things inside and entered the room after he had checked that it was clear.

Akane sighed and lain on the ground, "Grandma, don't do that kind of thing again!" She didn't feel scared but when she saw him doubting her it made her very hurt. She would get mad at this priestess if she wasn't someone that had helped her in the past.

"I am sorry. I don't know if he is that powerful," the priestess said.

Akane sighed and wasn't sure what to do now since she wasn't in the mood to walk in this festive festival.

"Is he a Longinus holder?" The priestess asked.

"No, but his level should reach that level of Satan," Akane answered. She knew even though it was very rare for him to show his magic but she knew that he was powerful, especially when he could create that large ship to play when they were on the holiday.

"Is your relationship going to be alright?" The priestess asked.

"I am not sure..."

---

Yuuki didn't have that much of worry against the human who was trying to attack him since their power wasn't even enough to shake the low-level deity in this county. He knew that they were harmless but he was still annoyed. He was coming to this place and seriously thought that it would be a cleaning ritual only suddenly being attacked by mind magic.

Luckily, it was only low level sleeping magic that wasn't harmful but when someone was sleeping they were at their weakest state.

Even though the priestess was very close to his father, it didn't mean she would be very close to him. He was afraid that hag might try to rape him or something. He would have a scar on his life whenever he entered this place.

"Yuuki?"

"Hmm? You've woken up?" Yuuki tended Yukari with care.

"Hmm, how is the ritual?" Yukari asked.

"You don't need to do it since I am the only one who smells," Yuuki smiled and said, "Let's go and have fun in the summer festival."

Yukari was a bit confused about why she suddenly slept but she knew that he would protect her. She nodded at him and went out together from this building to enjoy the summer festival together.
