The junction of Mukohi City and the suburbs of Kyoto. "Huh~huh~" Wisteria Irina was jogging on the road with her luggage on her back, breathing evenly, a few drops of sweat slipping down her cheeks from time to time. And beside her, Xenovia, who was also carrying a bag and her face was full of sweat, adjusted her breathing while looking at the lush mountains and forests around her, and said in an unnatural tone: "Irina, didn't you say that we are only 30 kilometers away from Kyoto? I feel like I've already run more than half of the way, let alone Kyoto, ~ I didn't even see anyone?" "As I said before, the straight-line distance is 30 kilometers. That is to do the Shinkansen, and it is impossible for us to run to the Shinkansen, so we can only take the highway and take a long detour." Wisteria Irina responded while adjusting her breathing. Knowing that her little friend would definitely explode upon hearing this sentence, she immediately preemptively said: "And if you didn't have to take a taxi, why would we run an ultramarathon on the hill?" Xenovia, who originally wanted to complain, turned bitter when she heard this: "Sorry, I really didn't know that taxis in this country are so expensive." "If an apology is useful, what do you want the police to do?" Wisteria Irina grumbled, and then said: "Okay, stop talking, your breathing will be disordered, and if this continues, you won't be able to go to Kyoto within the stipulated time. "
"Speaking of which, the map shows that there seems to be a small restaurant ahead. Let's borrow some water there later. After all, if we run for too long, we may become dehydrated." "Okay." Xenovia didn't think much, just closed her mouth and adjusted her breathing quietly. The two ran another two kilometers along the road, their steps getting slower and slower, and their expressions getting more and more dignified. They didn't see any small roadside restaurants, but instead saw a large Japanese-style mansion, or a stretch of it. And next to the gate of the mansion, there is also a huge door plate with the words 'Jijima' written on it. "We seem to have entered an enchantment?" Wisteria Irina clenched the shoulder straps of her backpack with a solemn expression. "I didn't feel anything when I came here just now, did you open the barrier on your own initiative?" Xenovia frowned, and said with a vigilant expression: "Do you want to go there?" "Let's go, since the other party deliberately opened the enchantment to invite us, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave even if we want to." Wisteria Irina scratched her hair in distress, sighed, walked to the gate, and rang the bell. After about a few minutes, the door opened, and a woman dressed as a maid opened the door. When she saw the two, she was surprised and said: "The two are..." Wisteria Irina was taken aback by the maid's reaction: "Didn't you let us in on purpose?" "On purpose?" The maid's expression was somewhat bewildered. And at this moment, a female voice with a rather indifferent tone sounded from behind the maid: "Ling, you should step back first." "Yes, Lord Vermilion Bird." The maid turned around and bowed, then trotted away. But Wisteria Irina and Xenovia raised their vigilance when they heard the voice. In the end, a woman with a rather glamorous temperament appeared in the field of vision of the two of them: "The qi on the two of you are members of the church? I am the head of the house, Himejima Vermilion Bird." Himejima Vermilion Bird, who had an elegant temperament, dressed in a simple and elegant purple kimono, and wore a woman's hair, stepped forward and explained.
"Himejima...the Five Demon Tutors in the Far East?" Wisteria Irina turned her head to look at Xenovia in surprise. The latter looked suspiciously at Himejima Vermilion Bird, and then said: "I remember that it seems that the Five Demonic Family members are also members of the alliance." "You can delete the word "like." Himejima Vermilion Bird looked at the two of them, and then said: "You are the people who were arranged by the church to participate in the training, right? How did you break into the barrier of Jijima's house?" Wisteria Irina hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We are indeed the trainees, and we are on our way to Kyoto now. As for breaking into the barrier you mentioned, in fact, we have not sensed the barrier." "Didn't perceive it?" Himejima Vermilion Bird frowned, his face became a little ugly: "I understand what you mean." She looked at the two people with sweaty faces, and then said: "Come in and wash it first, and I will arrange a helicopter to take you to Kyoto later." Wisteria Irina immediately looked at Xenovia when she heard the words, her eyes suggested: "Do you want to go in?" …… Ask for flowers……… 'Enter. ’ Xenovia blinked twice in succession. "So bother you." The two followed Himejima Vermilion Bird to the customer service and separated. Before leaving, Himejima Vermilion Bird arranged for two maids to serve the two guests, while he left quickly with a sullen face. And after Himejima Vermilion Bird left, Wisteria Irina sighed and said, "Hurry up and wash, something will happen later." "How to say?" Xenovia had doubts on her face. "This kind of abnormality suddenly occurred in the enchantment of the exorcising family, and it was an abnormality that the owner didn't notice. Obviously something went wrong." 0 Wisteria Irina sighed while taking out the clothes that are easy to move from the salute: "To be able to break a family's enchantment, one must either be a master of enchantment, or be the inner ghost of the patriarch. I personally prefer the former. After all, the news that the Five Demonic Families have joined the three forces has spread a long time ago. At this time, the Himejima family was being targeted, so if you think about it, you will know what happened." "That is to say, we may have to do something later to support the Jijima family?" Xenovia suddenly realized. "Almost, although it's just a coincidence, it's not in my character not to do something when we meet, although the Patriarch most likely wants to send us away before something happens. Wisteria Irina picked up the bath towel and toiletries, then narrowed her eyes and said: "Hurry up and take a shower, after washing to replenish your strength, I have a hunch that something big is about to happen. "Oh~~ Irina, do you want to earn more merit before going to Kyoto?" Xenovia guessed what Wisteria Irina was thinking. "Isn't this natural? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. This kind of joint training of the three parties, if you want to stand out, you can't do it without hard work. "Besides, isn't this a gift for nothing?" Wisteria Irina held the holy sword in her backpack: "Two holy sword envoys are definitely qualified as rare soldiers." "Well, anyway, you've always been smarter than me." Xenovia spread her hands, picked up the toiletries, and planned to hurry up. .
