Armed Miko Toyokawa Shoko (Part 1): Rainy Night, Overpass, Armored Vehicle

The girl with long blue hair cried bitterly in the rainy night of Tokyo.

“I want to quit CRYCHIC.”

The rain threads formed a dense silver net under the neon lights, and the traffic lights at the crosswalk cast hazy spots of light in the humid air, revealing a subtle chill.

"Xiangzi, Dad will work hard."

The subway station entrance was filled with indifferent crowds during the evening rush hour. Amidst the sea of ​​long-handled black umbrellas, there were a few transparent umbrellas from convenience stores and people without umbrellas.

"His luck is so bad... I don't want you to suffer."

The inside of the convenience store's anti-fog glass is covered with recruitment advertisements from the bubble economy period. The hourly wage figures are blurred by water vapor into ambiguous spots of light, which looks particularly attractive.

"Miri left too early."

Everything changed when Xiangzi heard the news of her mother's death. From that day on, her world began to crumble. The pressure of reality, the pain in her heart, and her faith were gradually shaken.

"...Now, I have to go home first..."

Toyokawa Shoko sobbed, trying to wipe the wet rain off her face. After crying for an unknown amount of time, she felt a chill and had no choice but to drag her exhausted body to the bus stop two blocks away, both to avoid the rain and to wait for the bus to arrive.

The girl's footsteps crushed the puddles on the street. She needed to walk quickly through the archway of an overpass.

There are often some thugs gathering here, but it’s a different story on cold and rainy nights. After all, not everyone will go to the police station to get their dad out, and not everyone needs to quit the band.

So, at this moment, on this night when Tokyo was battered by a rainstorm, fate smiled gently and reached out to Toyokawa Shoko:

Pushing her into a darker abyss.

Of course, this is also a kind of redemption, but it is beyond the boundaries of the girl's imagination.

"Hurry up... The rain is getting heavier," Xiangzi gritted her teeth. She regretted running out without an umbrella. "If I catch a cold, it will delay my work the next day..."

The girl took small and quick steps, her footsteps following the shadow of the overpass. She could already see the neon lights of the shops on the opposite block.

But just as Xiangzi's body completely disappeared into the confines of the bridge tunnel, the girl saw several eerie figures in black robes suddenly emerge from the darkness on either side. They seemed to be hiding in the corners of the world, staring at the brightly lit bustling city with malicious eyes, and would only reveal themselves when humans with "qualifications" approached.

"Lucky……"

"Powerful psychic seer...new sacrifice..."

"The rebirth of destruction..."

"newborn……"

Looking at the strange figures that were getting closer and closer, Xiangzi was stunned. With fear welling up in his chest, he ran away wildly. The tiny whispers were like invisible chains dragging the girl's body, dragging her into the darkness behind. She fell to the ground, but got up in fear and tenacity and continued to run forward.

If she could run to the street... Xiangzi didn't run to the street, or rather, she did run to the street.

After running out of the bridge, you will enter another world!

The shutters of the shopping street were tightly closed, and hundreds of maneki-neko dolls smiled in the shadows of the windows. When Xiangzi's gaze drifted away, the pupils of the porcelain cats he was staring at suddenly split open horizontally, revealing the honeycomb-like crystal structure within. Beneath the bus stop bench, an abandoned takoyaki box slowly moved, and the fragments of bonito flakes coalesced in the rainwater into radiating sea anemone-like organisms.

The twisted and crazy world is like a reversal of the bustling city, like a mirror reflecting the bustling city!

Xiangzi wanted to scream, and when she did, she found that her voice attracted even more crazy and strange things:

A stream of black fluid gushed out from the sewer, and the liquid split into hundreds of whip-like tentacles in the air, with a distorted human face outline condensed at the end of each tentacle!

Subconsciously, she bent down to avoid the bite of a human-faced tentacle... For the sake of the devil, Xiangzi never thought that he could actually dodge it! But the monster was obviously not going to give up. It let out a low, sharp howl and crawled out of the sewer completely, rolling towards the girl!

In this chaotic and strange moment, Xiangzi subconsciously continued to run forward, forcing his lungs to breathe the turbid air, and took a step forward - as if penetrating some kind of membrane, the girl stepped on the solid ground suspended in the air.

Xiangzi found himself standing on an overpass. This highway that runs through the city is usually full of traffic at any time, but now there is only an empty road extending into the darkness ahead and behind!

This was not the most hopeless thing - in front of the girl stood those strange figures in black robes. There were five of them in total, and in the middle of the five people lay a dismembered human body. Blood floated upwards unnaturally from the corpse, vaguely condensing into a screaming human figure.

On the ground wet by the heavy rain, the girl's terrified face was reflected in the empty eyes of the innocent man.

"The next ceremony..."

"A new sacrifice..."

"Someone is approaching," the tallest black-robed figure suddenly raised his head, "Speed ​​up the ceremony."

Is someone approaching?

The resonant frequency of the steel cables on the viaduct became even more abnormal. Raindrops vibrated on the surface like suspended pearl necklaces, and a cluster of bubbles rose in the opposite direction from the shadow of the bridge piers.

The cavalry roars!

The Oerlikon KBA-B02 machine gun, which fired 25×137mm NATO caliber shells, roared and opened fire. The tail-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot shells weaved into golden fire lines in the rainstorm, instantly smashing the black-robed figures into pieces. The alienated human flesh and blood flew down, making strange crackling sounds on the overpass road.

The bright headlights pierced the thick darkness like golden blades, but this was only temporary - the absolutely chaotic energy was reshaping itself, rolling in like a tsunami, trying to drag these ordinary people walking on the edge of the inner and outer worlds into a deeper "ocean"... But if they stayed here for too long, they would be submerged by the "tide".

Xiangzi slowly collapsed onto the road. She turned her head and looked back in a daze, seeing a six-wheeled armored vehicle painted in dark camouflage speeding out of the darkness on the opposite side of the viaduct.

It was a Type 87 reconnaissance and patrol vehicle, a reconnaissance wheeled armored vehicle that has been in service since 1987.

Xiangzi didn't know the name of the vehicle, but she only knew that she was about to be rescued.

The armored vehicle stopped beside the girl, and the crew members who were also combatants inside got out immediately. However, when they appeared in front of Xiangzi, the latter's eyes widened slightly, and he was shocked no less than before -

"A miko? A miko with a weapon?"

The two girls who got off the car were wearing the most classic red and white shrine maiden costumes, but they also wore chest mounts filled with magazines and light bulletproof vests. The guns in their hands reflected the diffuse light of the armored vehicle's headlights in the heavy rain, revealing a hint of cold murderous intent.

However, what is even more eye-catching is the mechanical exoskeleton attached to the witches - every movement of the witches will make the metal creations that use human intelligence buzz, giving Xiangzi an inexplicable sense of security on this rainy night.

Wait… do people use assault rifles and armored vehicles to exorcise ghosts these days?

"Ayane, the Ododek scanner is still sending out warnings," said the leading shrine maiden, with neat short hair and a delicate yet cold face. "Even with the protection of the 'Phantom Migration Barrier,' we can't stay here for long—rather, we're just incredibly lucky to be able to get in... Is it because of that little girl?"

"Maybe... she's a powerful psychic. What luck! Ruixi, you remain alert while I check on the child."

Lucky? Those weirdos also say they're lucky, but what's there to be lucky about?!

Xiangzi wanted to roar, but she no longer had the courage or strength to roar or scream.

The long-haired witch half-knelt before the still bewildered Xiangzi, took out a strange instrument and examined it carefully, then said gently:

"Good, he's not contaminated, his mental state is more stable than expected, and he doesn't need to be executed for the time being."

Eh… execution? And it’s not necessary right now?!

Xiangzi was completely devastated when she heard this. Her heart was pulled out of her throat like a steel wire and then stuffed back in. Even her brain was blank. The only thing left in front of her was the scene of the red and white witch's skirt swaying slightly as it was wet by the rain.

"My name is Saikawa Ayane," the long-haired shrine maiden pulled Xiangzi up from the ground and introduced the shrine maiden next to her, "Her name is Shiraishi Mizuki, she's very powerful!"

"Instead of telling her this, you should just get in the car and engage the enemy, suppressing them with vehicle fire!"

The armored vehicle's machine gun roared once more, attempting to disperse the abnormally rising blood and flesh, but to no avail. If the machine guns were this bad, the rifles in the hands of the witches were obviously no exception.

"The creatures in the inner world are being reorganized to re-establish a constant barrier duration!"

"It can't be maintained, the barrier props have begun to dim!"

A witch poked her head out from the top of the turret, shouted loudly, then retracted and continued firing.

"Get in the car, let's get out of here... What's your name?"

Saikawa Ayane picked up Xiangzi, who had completely lost her strength due to fear and confusion, and stuffed her into the slightly narrow armored vehicle. If it weren't for the fact that there was one person missing from the standard number of people, and the members were all slender girls, it would probably be difficult to squeeze in another person.

"Toyokawa Shoko."

Shoko, who had just stepped into the car, was hit on the head by a hot shell falling like mercury. The witch operating the machine gun said without any apology:

"Feel sorry."

"This is Mio, Amagura Mio," Saikawa Ayane introduced enthusiastically, looking very happy. "The person driving the car is her sister, Amagura Mayu. They are both very nice people!"

"...Isn't that inappropriate?" Xiangzi said subconsciously. She huddled in the corner of the armored car and whispered, "Letting an outsider like me know your names..."

"How could that be? They are all your predecessors!"

"……Eh?"

Looking at the bewildered blue-haired girl in front of her, Saikawa Ayane's face lit up with a bright smile. In the dim light inside the armored vehicle, the witch raised her eyes slightly and said softly:

"Do you think you can get away with this, after what you've seen?"

"..."

"Well, welcome to your willingness to become an armed miko of the glorious Global Occult Alliance, Ms. Toyokawa Shoko."

Armed Miko Toyokawa Shoko (Part 2): Breaking Through the Rain

Being dragged onto the pirate ship!

Xiangzi's eyes suddenly widened. Before she could say anything, Shiraishi Mizuki, who had come in from behind, put a bulletproof vest on her. The blue-haired girl finally let out a small cry of surprise as the belt suddenly tightened.

"I didn't agree!"

"If you want to survive, you'd better try a little harder and then accept reality," Saikawa Ayane said, pushing open the driver's hood to let the heavy rain pour in. "But we can't see the road ahead clearly now... We shouldn't have rushed in so recklessly."

"The creations in the other world have been reorganized, sister, reverse!"

In the sudden inertia, Xiangzi's head banged against the solid, cold metal wall, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. But she soon heard the sound of machine gun fire again, and the priestess operating the weapon - she was called "Amagura Mio", now making a slightly panicked sound:

"That thing is reorganizing itself into the form of an old woman... Could it be the 'Highway Granny'?!"

The Highway Granny (ターボばあちゃん) is a monster in modern Japanese urban legends. It appears on highways in the appearance of an old woman and runs at an extremely fast speed on the highway, with a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour. But now, this monster is condensing into something more terrifying, like countless old skulls overlapping each other and extending like centipedes, and then entwined with each other into a sphere, rolling towards the armored vehicle!

"It looks like the work of Junji Ito," Tiancang Jian, who was driving, muttered and slammed on the brakes. "He can generate so much inspiration just by clearing his memory every month. Should he just retire?"

The armored vehicle stopped reversing in the heavy rain, then began to accelerate, avoiding the impact of the skull centipede group at the critical moment, and sped forward along the elevated road surface.

At this moment, in the dim light inside the car, Xiangzi saw something trying to get in from the outside through the gap in the vehicle's hatch!

"Car door, there's something on the car door!"

Xiangzi shouted loudly, and then she saw Shiraishi Ruixi kick the gap in the car door, stepping back the dark aura that was about to move.

"is that useful?"

"It doesn't look like it," the armed shrine maiden twisted her neck and patted Ayane's thigh as she propped herself up. "The energy from the other world is trying to invade the car. We can't hold out for long. Also, I need to repeat, rushing directly into the other world or some other place is definitely not a good decision."

"How should I know?! It happened to be when we were using the barrier item...wait."
