As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

"The spirit of Akinomiya Yui must know something about Kujo Rin's death."

"So now what we have to do is to pry this information out of its mouth."

"And the method to pry out this information..."

The young man did not continue speaking, but just looked at the land that was protecting him.

it is more than words.

With this analysis, the situation suddenly becomes simple and clear.

Morikami Nozomi's face also brightened up for a moment, but then he frowned, "But the other party is a monster with the ability to predict the future. Ordinary conspiracies and tricks shouldn't work, right?"

Akinomiya Yui is an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department.

So it stands to reason that, even if her spirit is not the best, it can still be ranked among the top in Sakurajima in terms of foresight.

If the [Blood Field] wants to restrain the monster, it must not only let the opponent enter the expansion range of the [Blood Field], but also must try to find out the [murder trigger], [action pattern] and [avoid death method] as much as possible...

For ordinary monsters, it is almost an impossible task to complete these operations without anyone noticing, let alone those sensory monsters with the keenest sense of smell.

"If there is no [Another Self], this thing is naturally impossible." Yuanhui cast his eyes to the side of Morigami Nozomi, where a girl who looks exactly like Morigami Nozomi herself is sitting, "But with her, it's worth a try."

That was the weirdness she was bound to.

"Morikami, do you remember your state after your sense of existence was taken away by [Other Self]? Although you were unable to have any impact on the existence of the world, others also had no way to observe you."

"If I were in that state, I might be able to avoid its prediction."

It was precisely to confirm this matter that Yuanhui called Akinomiya Yui on Sunday and asked her a lot of questions in a roundabout way.

The result is naturally——

feasible.

Akinomiya Yui's spiritual foresight requires the use of 'looking' to observe the object, and this is exactly what is restrained by [Another Self in the World].

Then, as long as Genki agrees to Morikami Nozomi's request, she will take away his sense of existence and turn him into a 'transparent person' who cannot be observed.

Although I am not sure whether it will succeed in the end, it is at least worth a try.

And the final result is the situation in front of Mizukami Kana:

Nozomi Morikami pretended to be Genki, but the 'Nozomi Morikami' who was in the classroom at that time was actually her strange [Alternative Self].

The real Yuanhui had already boarded the train to Kyoto.

……

……

He waved his hand in front of others, but they did not react at all;

Shouting loudly in someone's ear, but the other party still turns a deaf ear...

This feeling is really wonderful.

Not only that, even if he stood on the soft bed now, there would not be any dents on it.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't lift even a single hair.

The current Yuanhui seemed to have completely lost the concept of "quality" and really turned into a ghost that could not be seen by anyone.

Of course, the corresponding result is the loss of most of the sensory organs, leaving only vision and hearing.

Even Yuan Hui felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

The main thing is that the feeling of suddenly losing something that you were used to is really not good for your mental health.

After getting off the train, Yuanhui looked at the ancient capital of Sakurajima with some curiosity.

Then I walked to the bus stop in front of the train and started waiting for the bus.

Of course he knew Akinomiya Yui's address, after all, the two had spoken on the phone before.

Knowing the other party's address through a phone call is Lika's most basic ability.

In fact, if Yuanhui wanted, he could avoid the fatigue of the journey and directly use Lika's teleportation ability to come to Akinomiya Yui's residence.

But that kind of noise would be too loud and would definitely alarm Qiu Zhigong Wei's spirit.

If that were the case, there would be no point.

It was for this reason that Yuanhui came to Kyoto in this way.

Akinomiya Yui is located on Kyoto's No. 9 Street, a place called Oi-slope by the locals.

Yuan Hui found a strange "sacred deity" here.

The weirdness here refers to the feeling this shrine gives people.

It's there, but you don't even notice it.

If it weren't for [Lika]'s invincible positioning ability, he would not have been aware of this building even if he had walked in front of the sacred building.

There is no doubt that this is the work of that weird person.

By the way, Akinomiya Yui actually lives in the shrine.

Could it be that her spirit is actually the god of Sakurajima?

Although Yuanhui had found the destination, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he began to observe the sculpture in front of the deity.

Generally speaking, the statues in front of the gods will have a certain relationship with the gods they are worshipping.

For example, in front of the shrine dedicated to the Inari god, there are several fox sculptures.

Because the fox is the messenger of the Inari god.

However, the sculpture in front of this deity is much more ferocious and terrifying than a fox.

From the appearance, it is a sturdy human figure with messy long hair and two horns-like things on the top of its head.

Green face, fangs, ferocious appearance, naked upper body, only wearing a hakama skirt on the lower body...

"Is this... a ghost?"

Yuanhui showed a little surprise. What he was talking about was not a ghost, but a kind of monster that was extremely common in the legends of Sakurajima.

Is there any god who treats ghosts as his messengers?

……

Although he found the destination, Yuanhui did not rush in impatiently.

While setting up this decoy, the spirit might also set up a related alarm mechanism. Although it might not be useful to him who is in this state, it is better to avoid risks as much as possible.

Monsters may not need to eat or drink, but Qiu Zhigong Wei is a human being, so she definitely has such needs.

Apart from anything else, she must eat every day, so there should be someone dedicated to delivering meals to her.

When that time comes, if he follows the other party closer to there, the probability of being discovered will naturally be greatly increased.

No matter how much she demands money, Akinomiya Wei is still a princess of the royal family. She can't just eat compressed biscuits, right?

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

As expected by Yuanhui, after a while, Yuanhui saw someone delivering food to Akinomiya Wei.

The door of the shrine was opened from the inside, revealing a small face that looked too pale due to not being exposed to the sun for a long time.

This was also the first time that Genhui met the princess who was a direct blood relative of Emperor Sakurajima and also had the title of "Prince In-law".

Yuan Hui was slightly dazed.

This is not because of the beauty of the girl in front of him.

It is true that Akinomiya Yui is the most beautiful girl, but Genki is not a person obsessed with beauty. Besides, Mizukami Kana, Saran Birdroku, Kujo Rin, Morikami Nozomi...

After getting used to beauty, you will naturally develop certain antibodies.

The reason why he was a little dazed was because of a very special feeling.

To use the words of a certain brother Bao, it is -

"I have seen this sister before."

But the problem is, today is really the first time he meets Akinomiya Yui.

Yuanhui looked at Akinomiya Yui's appearance carefully again and was sure that he had never seen her before.

If that’s the case, then where does this strange sense of familiarity come from?

Although he was muttering in his mind, it did not delay Yuanhui's work.

As Qiu Zhigong Wei opened the door, he successfully slipped into the shrine and was shocked by the environment inside.

Isn't this a bit too messy? If he hadn't seen Akinomiya Yui, he would probably have thought this was the room of some unkempt otaku.

He is also a musical instrument and game geek.

I never thought that a royal princess like Akinomiya Yui would have such a side...

After looking around, he found that there was a place in the room that was out of place with the rest.

It was surprisingly clean and tidy there.

When Yuanhui approached the place out of curiosity, he found a very old newspaper stacked there.

The main text is blurred, but the title is still clear, which is——

[Very disappointed! Princess Mako, who got pregnant before marriage, still insisted that she was not a virgin! ]

68. The opening time has arrived!

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Yuan Hui's eyes darkened slightly.

Kujo Rin once revealed to him that Akinomiya Yui's real name should be Akinomiya Yuiko.

The reason why she was stripped of this [zi] was because a big scandal happened to her mother's elder sister, which caused her mother's anger.

Akinomiya Yui is a three-generation direct blood relative of Emperor Sakurajima, so her mother's sister is undoubtedly also a princess.

In other words, the scandal at that time was that the princess, who had not yet married, suddenly became pregnant.

Moreover, she refused to reveal the name of the man who made her pregnant. In order to protect that person, she even used the poor excuse that "she had never done that kind of thing with a man."

This must have been the case for the royal family of Sakurajima and the people at the time, right?

Such a stubborn attitude would naturally make that person furious.

But the problem is...

Is what Princess Mako said really a lie?

There are actually many records of virgin girls giving birth in myths and legends.

Fu Bao saw the star and gave birth to Huangdi, Hua Xu stepped on the footprint of a giant and gave birth to Fuxi, Jian Di swallowed a bird's egg and conceived Qi (the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty), these are all similar cases.

If we look to the West, the most famous legend is naturally that the Virgin Mary gave birth to the Messiah under the inspiration of the Lord.

In the Bible, the angel who was sent to tell the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God was -

Gabriel.

She now goes by the alias Mizukami Kana and works as the principal of St. Eden Academy.

Mizukami Kana's extraordinary favorability, the secret method that seemed to deliberately let him live a peaceful life, why Kujo Rin was so close to him, and [Suzuki Nobu] who was deliberately led to the apartment where he lived...

The dots in my mind, the mysteries floating in the darkness, were connected one by one, clearing away almost all the fog.

"So, that's how it is." After a sigh of understanding in his heart, Yuanhui raised his eyes and looked at Akinomiya Yui who was sitting on the tatami and eating lunch in small bites.

When he met her before and saw her face, Yuan Hui had an extremely special sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

And now, Yuan Hui finally found the source of this familiar feeling——

That came from himself.

Akinomiya Yui's face was three-quarters similar to the face he saw when he looked in the mirror.

……

……

Time flies and it's time to go home after school.
