Chapter 59: A Glimpse of Divinity

Ryuki Shrine.

The brilliant sunlight shines on the earth, and the scenery here is pleasant and beautiful, situated atop a high mountain.

"Ryu" refers to the crystal-clear eyes of a summer flower painting, and "fox" naturally refers to Tamamo-no-Mae herself, implying that the mistress's gaze is always fixed on her.

Tamamo-no-Mae lay lazily on the eaves of the temple, watching the endless stream of people coming and going at the shrine, her pink fox ears twitching unconsciously.

I never expected that even though I built my shrine in such a place, it would still attract so many visitors.

Since she made a deal with the royal princess to designate the Ryuko Shrine as a sacred temple, the number of visitors has increased dramatically, which has slightly annoyed her, as she is naturally a bit quiet.

However, from the moment the mistress announced the start of the celebration, she was entitled to expand her influence.

Turning the Ryuko Shrine, which she controlled, into the state religion was undoubtedly the most effective way to expand her power.

Furthermore, due to Tamamo-no-Mae's original template, she possesses a series of skills related to the "Fox Shrine Maiden." The wider the shrine's fame, the more powerful her "Fox Shrine Maiden" skills will become.

The reason why those difficult and complicated diseases were cured was because Tamamo-no-Mae used the [prayer].

"I wonder when I'll be able to see the mistress again..."

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Tamamo-no-Mae's beautiful purple eyes.

When the mistress stroked her head, her fox ears, and the tip of her tail, it felt so... wonderful!

A blush, like that of a peach, appeared on her delicate cheeks.

If it weren't for the greater good, Tamamo-no-Mae would have already gone to the Summer Zaibatsu to find Natsu Hanae, waking up in her bed every day and frantically stealing what Natsu Hanae had used...

No, it's something that Summer Flower Painting used.

She originally had more, but after being discovered by Natsume Hanae, she only managed to save herself by putting a handkerchief into her vagina.

But Tamamo-no-Mae thought so.

Since the opening of the festival, it has meant that the Summer Flower Painting project has officially begun, and there will probably be another big move soon.

The day I meet my mistress will be soon.

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae was thinking this.

The pink fox ears twitched suddenly.

She heard ominous and unsettling sounds coming from the shrine.

'laaaaaaaa————！'

Tamamo-no-Mae's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her purple eyes.

"It sounds like a strange, unconscious murmur, but why is the sound so soft?"

"and……"

"If something strange enters the shrine's protective barrier that I set up, it should immediately trigger an alarm and launch an attack."

Tamamo-no-Mae felt very strange.

However, while the barrier might be deceived, one's own fox ears certainly wouldn't lie.

She chose to believe in herself.

Dressed in a white-on-top, red-on-bottom shrine maiden outfit, she quickly leaped down from the top of the palace and arrived at the main hall, where she first checked whether there was anything wrong with the statue.

The statue is not made of gold, but of a more precious and extraordinary material, so that Tamamo-no-Mae can better use the [prayer].

The statue's face is entirely silver-white, like a precious jade, crystal clear and shimmering with a subtle luster. Although it does not appear luxurious or noble, it possesses a dignified elegance, both beautiful and intelligent.

The statue is slender and graceful, clearly depicting a female deity.

Moreover, the area where the face should have been displayed was now covered by an exquisitely crafted bird mask.

This adds to the mystique of the statue.

Tamamo-no-Mae looked around the main shrine, and people greeted her from time to time, which she responded with a smile.

And the eerie sound became increasingly clear.

This means that the deeply hidden monster is nearby.

But there are only people here, how could there be anything strange...?

people? !

Suddenly, Tamamo-no-Mae's pupils contracted slightly. A flash of inspiration struck her, and the naturally intelligent woman quickly realized this.

Could it be that the strange thing resides within the human body?

Soon, Tamamo-no-Mae focused on listening to the sounds of people's bodies and quickly noticed something amiss. One of the middle-aged men was walking out rather quickly.

However, when Tamamo-no-Mae listened to the other person's heart, she discovered a foreign object inside.

Upon closer listening, one discovers that the strange object is indeed the eerie one, emitting a faint sound from its heart.

Almost instantly, Tamamo-no-Mae's figure began to gradually disappear.

She followed the middle-aged man, and they walked quickly out of the shrine.

It wasn't until they reached a relatively secluded spot in the woods on the mountainside that the middle-aged man took out his phone from his pocket and quickly made a call.

The instant the other party connects.

Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly sprang into action.

A pinkish-white fluffy tail quickly materialized behind him, and at this moment it was as sharp as a divine weapon, stabbing fiercely towards the middle-aged man's heart!

“Puff——!”

A large hole was torn in the other person's chest, and the strange creature inside his heart died instantly without any warning.

A piece of blue, extraordinary material rolled out from it.

Tamamo-no-Mae ignored it, which suggests that the strange entity lurking within the middle-aged man's body was merely an elite-level entity. However, the question remains: how did it achieve the technology required to be lurking within the human body?

Tamamo-no-Mae picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground.

An unsettling, double-sounding voice came from the other end of the phone, neither male nor female.

May bliss protect you.

"How was the inspection of Ryuko Shrine? Did you find anything noteworthy?"

"..."

After asking a couple of questions, Tamamo-no-Mae remained silent. The person on the other end of the phone clearly sensed something and the call was immediately disconnected.

Tamamo-no-Mae's delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily as she began to speculate.

"May bliss protect you."

"Could it be the Pure Land True Principle Sect?"

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae began to ponder the specific purpose of the Gokuraku Shinryo sect's visit to her, and the various puzzles surrounding how they had placed something eerie into people's hearts.

In the distant sky, a scarlet vertical pupil, as bright as the sun, suddenly appeared and reflected in Tamamo-no-Mae's purple eyes.

The sunlight cast upon it turned a scarlet color.

A surge of joy instantly filled her heart.

Summer Flower Painting has clearly made another big move.

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae began to ponder the purpose of Natsume's actions, her crimson vertical pupils suddenly glanced in her direction, visible only to her.

The next moment, a vast and powerful gaze pierced through time, carrying an indescribable and ineffable brilliance that instantly swept over.

They surged into the shrine.

Tamamo-no-Mae's figure suddenly blurred, and she reappeared inside the shrine.

She saw with her own eyes that the dazzling light from that gaze struck the statue directly.

Then, a touch of scarlet was added to the statue's white jade-like color.

The scarlet color, as if alive, meandered and coiled freely within the statue before merging into it.

The statues of gods became increasingly lifelike.

Upon seeing this, Tamamo-no-Mae's purple eyes widened suddenly. She pursed her pink lips and murmured to herself.

"This is... divinity."

"Has the mistress really come to this?!"

In this way, the effects of [Prayer] can be fully and comprehensively activated.
