Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 47 Miko
At midnight, Nozomi Arakawa arrived at Sensoji Temple.

At this time, there are few people in the temple. Occasionally, one or two backpackers can be seen passing by Kaminarimon. The commercial street has long been closed during the day, but the various buildings in the temple still emit bright light.It has been built into a popular tourist attraction, like the five-storied pagoda glowing bright yellow, and the footlights on the surrounding trails can stay on until the morning sun rises.

Nozomi Arakawa walked in this quiet venue with his racket bag on his back, like a devout believer who came to worship Buddha late at night.He walked straight along Kaminarimon to the Hozomon, and after entering the Hozomon, there is the main hall, but if you go to the right, you will reach the Asakusa Shrine.

According to Fukuyama Tsubasa, the girl named Keiko should be around the Asakusa Shrine at this moment. Nozomi Arakawa walked through the torii gate and came to the forest around the shrine.

Relying on his extraordinary hearing, he keenly sensed an extremely subtle sound coming from the front left.

It was singing, someone was humming softly, it was melodious and sad, like an ancient song sung by ancient witches.

Is Keiko singing?Did she also sing before she turned into a ghoul?
Arakawa drew out the wedge ball silently, and walked forward very lightly.

Fingers gently pushed aside the twigs and green leaves, and a clearing appeared in front of my eyes.

A priestess sat in the center of the open space in a "sitting" posture, her long hair that should have been combed into a ponytail fell to the ground.On her lap was another girl wearing a shrine maiden costume——Keiko.Mottled tree shadows sprinkled on her body and swayed gently with the night wind. The side face of the witch was as beautiful as a painting, as if shrouded in a layer of silver light, and the fine and fine hairs on her face outlined her beautiful face under the moonlight , She gently combed Keiko's ears and hair with her fingers, and the waves in her lowered eyes were so gentle that it reminded people of her mother's embrace.

"Hello, unknown exorcist." The singing stopped, and the miko didn't look at Arakawa, she had already noticed his arrival.

Wakimaru tapped the tip of the knife on the ground twice, and Arakawa looked at the miko: "The girl in your arms is your friend?"

The witch shook her head slightly, and then said, "Please help me put this girl in place." She lightly supported Keiko's head and put her on the ground, "She is out of danger."

"But she..."

"It won't be transformed anymore." Miko looked towards Arakawa and bowed slightly.

Arakawa stared at Keiko's body, and sure enough, Keiko's chest was rising and falling with her breathing, she was still alive, or in other words, she was revived.The most basic condition for becoming a ghoul is not a rotten body, but... that person has to be a dead person first.

"I say goodbye first."

The priestess walked towards the torii gate. It seemed that she was not a priestess from Sensoji Temple, at least not a full-time priestess.But she has been waiting here for a long time. If no one comes, is she going to take care of Keiko until Keiko wakes up?

But Nozomi Arakawa was even more curious about how she made a girl who was about to become a ghoul return to a normal person, but he didn't ask because there was a high probability that she would be ignored.This kind of approach is like someone using a secret move to save someone. If you are not grateful, you still have to ask questions, which is very annoying.

The figure of the witch disappeared outside the torii gate, Arakawa looked a little distressed at this, he couldn't take Keiko back to Chizuki's house, but he couldn't leave Keiko outside all night, but it would be too expensive to book a room for her , although there are cheap hotels, but those "capsule hotels" are not in this area, you have to go through several blocks.If he is a man carrying a girl and walking down the street at night, he is very likely to be invited to drink tea by the police uncle.

But Nozomi Arakawa quickly thought of Keiko's cell phone. He took out the cell phone, found Keiko's mother in "Contacts", and dialed the number.

Ten seconds later, the phone was connected, and an anxious voice came from the opposite side: "Keiko, why are you still not home?"

"Well, I'm not Keiko." Nozomi Arakawa said, "Your daughter fainted in the shrine, please come and pick her up."

"What, is that the shrine where Keiko works?" The other party became visibly anxious.

"Well, Asakusa Shrine is near the torii gate, please come over as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, Nozomi Arakawa hung up the phone, not intending to waste time with the other party.Then he hugged Keiko horizontally, put her next to the torii gate, and put the pink flip phone next to Keiko.

All this has come to an end. Arakawa breathed a long sigh of relief. The vampires lurking in the city sank into the sea. There should be a brief period of peace, right?
Walking out of Sensoji Temple, Arakawa took a taxi, which cost him a lot of money, but he still wanted to go back to Qianyue's mansion as soon as possible, lest Qiuyu find out that he was going out secretly. If Qiuyu knew that he was out... Arakawa Wang can't imagine Qiu Xue's furious look.

This feeling is very strange, like he is born to be afraid of his own sister. This kind of emotion is shared by many brothers and sisters, but it is not natural. Usually, the younger sister is used to bullying the older brother. After a long time, the older brother has feelings for his younger sister. A sense of dread.

Suddenly the phone rang, and Arakawa glanced at the caller ID, it turned out to be his mother.

It should be daytime in Chicago at this time, but judging from the brain circuits of the nervous parents, they probably would not have thought that it was late at night here in Tokyo, so they wanted to call their son, so they called.

"Hello?" Nozomi Arakawa answered the phone.

"Son!" The voices of mother Arakawa Rin and father Arakawa Gen came from the phone.

It's not a big deal for them to make this call, they just want to hear Nomo Arakawa's voice, but it's a pity that they can't meet each other.However, they probably don't know that the current video call technology is very developed, and they can see each other even if they are thousands of miles away, but the couple is not very proficient in smart products.

They asked Nozomi Arakawa about his recent situation. Nozomi Arakawa said that everything was fine, except that he would transfer schools soon.

Mom and Dad agreed very much, saying that Qiuxue will definitely find you a good school to improve your grades, that tone is like showing off her capable daughter.

Nozomi Arakawa asked about the recent situation of his parents.They have a good life, work is too leisurely, come to the office at ten o'clock in the morning every day, type on the keyboard for an hour or two, eat tacos, and then leave work at three o'clock in the afternoon, go to the gym to exercise or Going shopping in the mall or something, my English level has improved.Then they also sent a photo to Momo Arakawa. It was a photo of the couple fishing along the Michigan Hull with their colleagues in the company. They were very comfortable and comfortable.

After hanging up the phone, Arakawa looked at the speeding neon lights and street scenes outside the car window, and suddenly recalled the childhood of this body in his mind.The children are playing happily on the lush grass, whether he is running ahead with a kite or catching crabs in the bright creek, there will always be that shy little girl behind him, just like his Like the shadow, when Arakawa Wang catches crabs and butterflies, he always claps his hands and says "Oni-chan is amazing!"

He has never seen an ordinary sister bullying her brother. Qiu Xue is a very sensible child, and Nozomi Arakawa also likes Qiu Xue very much. Although Qiu Xue has let him move to Qianyue's house so far, and is trying to get him to transfer to another school, Nozomi Arakawa understood that it was all for his own good.

Regardless of whether Qiu Xue made his parents lose their jobs or not, it is a fact that she let them get a job with better pay in Chicago, and he really doesn't know how to do housework, so he needs someone to take care of his daily life. His grades are indeed poor, and better educational resources are needed to improve his grades and get into a good university.

The most important thing is that Qiu Xue didn't do anything to apologize to him, that's enough.

　Thanks for the thousand coins reward from "Eternal Red Comet"! (It is too difficult to update [-] a day)
