The practice of the shrine is not easy.

At five o'clock, the bell rang, Qiao Qiao got up, and practiced with the others in a simple version of the hunting suit.

The content is nothing more than meditation, spiritual teaching, art explanation, strange knowledge, physical exercise, etc.

The group of people who Qiao Qiao followed seemed to be considered semi-new people. They have been in the field of doing odd jobs for less than three years after entering the shrine.

In the Ise Shrine, newcomers need to train for at least three years before they can obtain the official priest rank. It is simpler for the witch to start a master.

As for the temporary witch, it is a simple worker.

Qiao Qiao was very serious in class and kept taking notes. Even if the teacher said something that was inconsistent with what Qiao Qiao knew, he did not raise any objection.

Therefore, there is no such plot that the teacher slaps in the face to win awesomeness.

During lunch time, Qiao Qiao sat alone at the table and ate lunch.

A small piece of grilled fish, pickled vegetables, miso soup, boiled radish, and white rice, he ate it very delicious.

"Jun Qiao, can I sit here?"

A man in the same clothes as Qiao Qiao asked with a plate on his back.

"Please."

Qiao Qiao moved his dining plate and made room.

"I heard that Qiao Sang came here for an internship in Tokyo, it's so hard."

The man sat down, took a few bites, and sighed.

"It's not very hard."

Qiao Qiao raised his head and recalled the other party's name a little.

Tanizaki Koji.

"Did Tanizaki Sang grow up here since he was a child?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Oh, do you remember my name? I still want to introduce myself. Haha, my father is the priest here, so he naturally inherited this job."

Tanizaki Koji smiled and said, he looked cheerful, probably because he was able to talk to Qiao Qiao.

"But I still want to go to Tokyo to see it, otherwise when I become a formal priest in the future, I will have to stay in the priest and I will have almost no chance to go outside."

"Have you not been to Tokyo?"

Qiao Qiao was a little surprised.

He originally had most young people from his country who had been to Tokyo to a greater or lesser extent, but he didn't expect that the second generation of priests like Koji Tanizaki who had never been to the Ise Shrine.

"Well, I was born here and grew up here. Since I was the only son at home, I naturally had to inherit my father's position. After graduating from high school, I stayed here to study."

He is a few years older than Qiao Qiao.

"If I become a formal priest in the future, I will basically have no chance to leave the temple unless I send some meetings to attend, but it will not be the turn of us little servants. But, I am fine, I have a cute girlfriend and a stable job, so it's okay to stay here like this."

"Does Qiao Jun have a girlfriend or something? It's not easy to deal with girls in Tokyo?"

"No."

Qiao Qiao shook her head.

"That's a pity. We have to work harder while we are young."

He joked like a familiarity, Tanizaki Koji asked curiously again.

"I heard that Qiao Sang is already a registered spiritualist of the Spirit Removal Master Association. Have you done the spiritual removal work?"

"Um."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"That's really amazing."

Tanizaki Koji put the rice into his mouth in a few bites, chewed it and swallowed it.

"We priests actually don't have a chance to remove spirits. For example, my father, after being a priest for decades, he has eliminated the resentful spirit once. He can remove spirits with his own hands, eliminate monsters, and help victims. It's great."

Ise Shrine is responsible for the exorcism work in the entire Mie Prefecture, as well as nearby Wakayama Prefecture and Nara Prefecture.

However, since the total population of these counties is less than 5 million, and it is located under the radiation of the Ise Shrine, it is difficult for evil spirits to cause trouble, so there is not much work to eliminate spirits.

There are so many priests and witches in the Ise Temple, plus the stragglers and stragglers from other shrines, so I guess there is no enough to share the resentful spirits.

Therefore, Tanizaki Koji seems to be quite eager to get rid of the profession of spiritual master.

Although Qiao Qiao felt that he seemed to be a little too idealized to eliminate the spirit, he did not point it out and only responded with a sound.

Be cautious in words and actions, this is the essence of internship summarized by Qiao Qiao.

Don’t worry about extra things, don’t say extra things, don’t look at extra things, and spend a month with peace of mind.

Otherwise, if I make some big noise in Ise Shrine, my reputation in the entire industry will be killed.

Nowadays, few priests and witches who have been with each other have carefully learned about the dynamics of the spirit removal industry, or they have no authority to know about the old gods, so in everyone's mind, Qiao Qiao is just an ordinary spirit removal master, not the culprit who blows up half of the Izumo Club.

Qiao Qiao was very satisfied with this state.

In the afternoon, I was a group of people inspecting Ise City.

Simply put, just like the police inspecting their own jurisdiction, the priests and witches of Ise Shrine will patrol the city of Ise to see if there is anything worth noting, and they are mainly familiar with the urban environment. Of course, there may be factors that enhance the influence of Ise Shrine.

Qiaoqiao Natural and Tanizaki Koji.

There was also a witch in the same group. Qiao Qiao discovered that this was the one who sent a message to Kuroda Jun yesterday.

Kuroda Makoto, judging from his name, seems to be Kuroda Jun's sister.

"Ah, it's Tokyo's violent spirit-removing master."

As soon as she saw Qiao Qiao, she exclaimed.

"Violent maniac?"

Tanizaki Koji looked at Qiao Qiao. Is this gentle guy who looks violent?

"Don't give people a nickname casually."

Qiao Qiao didn't explain much.

Maybe Jun Kuroda had instilled that knowledge into his sister.

The three of them are responsible for the surrounding area of ​​Tsubaki Mountain on the east side of Ise Shrine, along the Kintetsuki Line, which is approximately the area between Uji Yamada Station and Isuzukawa Station.

Because there is a mountain, it has always been a disliked patrol site. Qiao Qiao was very lucky and got this one.

"There is another name for that mountain called Fort Mountain. It is said that forts were built before, but now there is only one monument."

Tanizaki Koji became a tour guide and pointed to the low hill not far away and said.

"There is an animation that tells this place. Later, I also made a movie. I remember that there were still filming crews coming to film and asked us to be passers-by."

Qiao Qiao knew the animation that Kiyoshi Tanizaki said, but he only read the original work as a study material. Following Kiyoshi Tanizaki's introduction, he looked at the mountain.

Rather than saying it is a mountain, it is a taller mound. Huwei Mountain is full of trees and lush and green. It is not blocked around it, but there is only a small road, which looks not very flat.

"Let's go there in the end."

Tanizaki Koji suggested that if he climbed the mountain first, the remaining patrols would probably feel very tired.

Kuroda Makoto and Qiaoqiao had no objection.

Two priests and one witch walked on the street like this.

Today is Friday, there are no people on the street, and they are deserted. Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision scanned and found nothing unusual.

Thinking about it, when you look up, you can see the place where Ise Temple is in trouble, and that monster is too unthinkable.

After a brief patrol, the three of them climbed the Huwei Mountain along the path.

"?"

However, after a long trek, the three finally arrived at the top of the mountain, when the monument was on.

But I found a corpse lying here.
