Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

Siren? I've heard that siren's songs attract sailors, but Suga Ai didn't hear any songs. If imitating the shrine's calls of "love" counts as a song.

I felt like I was on an island, but unlike the resort islands, this was clearly an inhabited island. There was a smooth cement road under my feet, and the road was very narrow.

Staying vigilant, Suga Ai slowly moved forward along the road, observing information that could identify the location, while silently calling out the name of the shrine in her heart.

She is a priestess of the gods, and as long as her gods do not abandon her, she will not feel fear.

After walking along a mountain path and turning a corner, a basin appeared before Su Woai's eyes. In the basin was a modern village, the lights were dim, but it looked like there were people living there.

Looking down from above, the entire town is divided into several areas, with varying elevations, including a hospital and a school. It looks like an ordinary, somewhat backward island town.

On the roof of each house, there is a frame made of several wooden planks nailed together, like a road sign.

After silently memorizing the road information and layout, Suga Ai walked straight down. In this respect, she was just like Jingu. Without delving into the mystery, one could never solve it. To be afraid of conspiracies and not dare to move forward was itself a reckless act.

When they arrived at the entrance of the town, it was already late at night, and naturally there was no one on the streets. Su Woai glanced at the road sign stuck on the side of the road.

【Hanyu Village】

First, eliminate the incorrect answer "Mizubu Village". As for "a", you can try to identify it yourself; searching would be cheating.

Chapter 154 Real Fish Girl

After entering the town, Su Woai was in a bit of a predicament.

It's already past midnight. Should we ask her to knock on the door and rashly try to find out information?

The town's architecture is reminiscent of the last century, exuding a sense of the times. One- or two-story flat-roofed houses are scattered irregularly, and there doesn't seem to be a large population. Most of the houses look like they haven't been lived in for a while.

What should we do? Maybe we should go check out the Metropolitan Police Department here?

From her vantage point, Suga Ai had already noted down the most important and easily identifiable buildings in the town. The Metropolitan Police Department should help her gain a better understanding of this village called Hanyu Village.

Such incidents are not uncommon. In the traditions of Yingzhou, there is a legend called "Shin-hidden," which, regardless of location or cause, is mostly caused by monsters. Victims will disappear without any warning or clue.

Some people will reappear shortly after disappearing, but they will have difficulty recalling the details of their "disappearance".

So Su Woai wasn't too flustered, especially since she wasn't an ordinary person.

"Wang Wang!"

Just as Su Waai was about to head to the Metropolitan Police Department to gather information, several barks came from the other side of the street. A large dog was at the intersection, baring its teeth at Su Waai, seemingly wary of this stranger.

The dog had a leash around its neck, and the person leading it was panting heavily, leaning on their leg.

"Kotaro! What's wrong? Is something there?"

The girl looked around blankly. Through her cloudy eyes and her behavior, Su Woai could tell that the girl in front of her was blind and that she was leading her guide dog.

Is... anyone there?

Judging from her dog's barking and reaction, the girl seemed to understand something and tentatively pointed in the direction where her dog was baring its teeth.

"Hello, my name is Aiko. I'm a traveler who got lost in the area and wandered into this town. I'd like to ask for some help."

Su Woai, without batting an eye, uttered an outrageous lie, while also concealing her real name.

"So you were lost? Okay, okay."

The girl patted the big dog to comfort it, then looked up and said:

"My name is Mana. Do you need me to take you to the Metropolitan Police Department? Ah, it's so late. Everyone else except the patrol officers should have already gone home."

The girl named Mana seems a little slow-witted, always seeming slow to realize things.

"Oh right! Shall we go to church? The priest is a hardworking and kind man; he's probably still up and preparing for the next prayer meeting."

Suga Ai did not object to Mako's words. The girl in front of her was warm-hearted and kind. Either way, she was collecting information, so it didn't matter where she went. However, Suga Ai still remained wary of the girl and followed behind her at a distance of several meters.

The blind girl, Mana, was completely unaware that Suga Ai remained wary of her. She thought Suga Ai was right beside her and enthusiastically introduced the village to her.

Yuzuru Village is located in the middle of this island, surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was a fishing village a long time ago, but it was gradually developed into what it is today because rare mineral deposits were discovered on the island.

The population isn't large, and many are migrants, but everyone...

They all lived harmoniously in this small village, without any major conflicts.

There was nothing particularly special about it, but when Suga asked about the church, Mana said she didn't know much about it either. The priest was also from out of town, and she didn't quite understand the doctrines he preached. However, the other people on the island didn't seem to mind.

There wasn't much useful information. I wanted to ask more about the village's beliefs and ghost stories, but Mana had already led her to the church.

The village church was very small, and it seemed that only the priest, who worked as a missionary, lived there. If it weren't for Zhenyu pointing it out, Suwaa probably wouldn't have recognized that the small house was the church.

"Father Shimura! Are you asleep?"

The girl knocked on the door; the lights were still on inside, clearly indicating that they hadn't rested yet.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with deep-set eyes, severe dark circles, and a tired expression. However, when he saw the fish, he still showed a kind smile.

"It's a real fish! Is it still wandering around so late? As for who you are..."

Without Su Woai introducing herself, Zhenyu had already explained the whole story to the priest and entered the chapel.

"So they got lost? How strange..."

Father Shimura stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Forget it, let the police deal with this. This is just a church spreading the gospel."

Father Shimura stood up and walked towards the back of the church.

"You must be starving after walking so far, right? I happen to have prepared some food. Please enjoy it with me if you don't mind."

After the priest said that, Su Wai did feel a bit hungry and her mouth was dry, so she seemed to need to eat something to replenish her energy.

While the priest went to prepare the food, Su Ai quickly scanned her surroundings. There wasn't much in the small church that was particularly noteworthy. The only odd thing was that instead of a cross, there was a wooden frame like a road sign, just like the ones on the other resident's property.

I initially thought it was a local custom, but it seems to be related to local beliefs. The priest probably modified the original doctrine to cater to the people, which is why he wasn't ostracized.

It seems that this belief is most likely the source of the problem. Once we find the problem and find a way to solve it, we should be able to resolve the "disappearance".

With a general idea in mind, Su Woai felt a little more at ease. As long as her contract with the Divine Palace remained intact, no matter how big the problem or issue, it didn't matter.

Before long, the priest came out with a plate of stewed fish and simple miso soup with rice.

"Please use this. Rest for the night and I'll take you to the police station tomorrow."

Su Ai picked up her chopsticks, about to start eating, but suddenly hesitated. The miso soup was a little cloudy, and the well-cooked fish had a faint fishy smell, which seemed to be her imagination.

But for no reason, Su Wa'ai thought of the last scene before she disappeared: the overwhelming crimson seawater rushing towards her.

"What? Please use it?"

On the other side, Zhenyu and the priest were already enjoying the fish. Seeing that Su Woai was not eating, the priest asked.

"Sorry, I don't have much of an appetite right now."

Although she was very hungry, Su Woai chose to trust her intuition and put down her chopsticks with a random excuse.

"Don't you have an appetite? Then please drink some water, after all, the human body needs a lot of water."

The priest kindly brought Su Woai a glass of water, but in Su Woai's eyes, the water seemed to have red streaks of blood floating in it.

The priest, however, seemed not to see it, and pushed the water in front of Suga Ai, his gaze fixed on her.

"Drink up, please drink up, aren't you very thirsty?"

I'll write a few solo chapters about the little witch.

Chapter 155 Su Woai is not a kind person

What if I say I don't want to drink it?

Su Ai placed her hands on the table and calmly asked in return.

Sue's reaction seemed to have taken the other party by surprise. The priest was stunned for a moment, then grinned and his expression became somewhat manic.

"Fresh water is a gift from God. Do not refuse it; no one can refuse it! Come! Drink it! Taste the blood of God!"

As the priest spoke, his tone became increasingly agitated. Even the blind man, Mana, sensed something was wrong and turned his head in confusion, scanning the area with his cloudy eyes.

"Father?"

As soon as the girl asked the question, Su Waai suddenly moved, kicking the table over. As the porcelain plate shattered, Su Waai picked up the chopsticks with one hand and pinched the shards of the plate with the other.

Alternating between his left and right hands, he used chopsticks as weapons, stabbing the priest's ribs quickly and viciously. As the priest bent over in pain, his other hand had already used a shard of chopsticks as a blade against his neck.

"God? What God? What is your belief? I'm in a hurry, so don't try to fool me."

Suga Ai did say that she was weak, but that was relative. Compared to the demons, monsters, gods and geniuses around the shrine, Suga Ai was indeed weak, but that did not mean that she was just an ordinary girl who couldn't even kill a chicken.

For an ordinary person like her, there was no pressure.

"Father? My beloved son? What happened?"

The sound of the table being overturned and the bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground reached the ears of the blind woman, making her somewhat frightened. She didn't know what had happened, and she also didn't quite understand what her daughter was saying.

She could only hug her dog, who was baring its teeth at her, and stand there blankly as a mere ornament, not even a bystander.

"Please tell me the truth quickly, I'm really in a hurry."

Sue's hand exerted a subtle force, and the sharp edge of the porcelain cut the priest's neck, drawing out drops of blood. The priest's bluish-purple veins were clearly visible on his face, as if he had taken some strange drugs.

The commotion inside wasn't loud, but it attracted some attention from outside the window.

"Father Shimura? What happened? Do you need help?"

Outside the window, a figure slowly approached and gently knocked on the window, but received no response. The knocking became more urgent, as if the person was worried about the priest's safety.

"That voice... is it the patrolling police officer?"

Zhenyu looked out the window, but she couldn't see anything. Su Woai frowned; this was troublesome.

As she turned her head, Su Woai pondered in her mind how to deal with the patrolling policeman, or whether to subdue him as well to extract more information.

However, when Su Wai turned to look at the figure outside the window, her thoughts were interrupted by another shock.

The person banging on the window was not alive. Blood was seeping from their face, their eye sockets were empty and filled with rotting flesh, and they were making human-like sounds as they frantically pounded on the window.
