The stone staircase to the shrine is longer than expected.

The thousands of steps are no problem for the athletic all-powerful Hayama Hayabusa, but it exhausts Ayumi Kamibashi as a writer half to death.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the shrine, the panting Ayumi Kamibashi supported Hayato Hayama and couldn't help but complain.

"With such a long stone staircase, this shrine doesn't want people to come to visit at all!"

"No, maybe this is also a deliberately set trap, so that we exhaust our physical strength and lose the ability to resist!"

"Maybe it's just that your physique is too weak." Hayato Hayama, who was just warming up, said bluntly.

"Hey! Are you me off on purpose?

"How do I feel how your character is getting worse and worse!"

Ayumi Kamihashi glared at Hayama Hayato angrily.

"Probably because our relationship has improved, you have gradually discovered the better qualities that I have hidden in the depths." Hayama Hayato said with a shining smile.

"Who has a better relationship with you!"

With a sigh of relief, Ayumi Kamibashi broke free of Hayama's hand that Hayato was holding her, and she lifted her glasses and converged the expression on her face.

"Don't think that if you say a good word or two, I will forgive you for this reckless behavior!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Hinamizawa only has you as a substitute messenger now, I would definitely leave you alone!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Kamibashi is right."

Looking at Hayama Hayato's perfunctory attitude, Ayumi Kamibashi took a deep breath, suppressed the surging mood in her heart, turned her head to look at the shrine in front of her, and said calmly;

"This is Hinamizawa's Starlight Shrine."

"When I investigated Rika separately, Rika disappeared after investigating this shrine."

"So we must be vigilant enough to guard against possible dangers!"

"No problem." Hayama Hayato nodded when he heard this.

"Just so you know."

It seemed that he was very satisfied with Hayama's attitude of cooperating now, and Ayumi Kamihashi stepped forward a few steps and made a leading appearance.

"My stand-in Chain Fingers has strong melee abilities, so I will lead and you will assist in the rear."

After that, without waiting for Hayato Hayama to answer, he walked along the Sando (the straight road leading to the shrine) with his head held high.

But after taking a few steps, Ayumi Kamibashi found Hayama Hayato running in front of her with a cigarette.

"Alas! What are you doing?

Hayama Hayato smiled back, imitating Ayumi Kamihashi's previous tone and said, "Actually, my stand-in world is super strong in close combat, so I will lead and you will assist in the rear."

"Nasty fellow, don't learn me to speak!"

Ayumi Kamibashi is in a hurry.

"Do you know what the situation is now? Don't play a child's temper at this time!

"Of course, it's time to forge ahead and defeat evil with the power of good."

At this moment, Hayato Hayama put his hands in his pockets, not knowing what an opponent was.

"Aaaaah!"

"What are you doing!"

Ayumi Kamibashi broke the defense again.

She didn't understand why she knew that there might be danger here, and Hayama Hayato still had this heartless and lungless look.

Wasn't he quite normal when he was in the B&B?

How soon it came out like a wild horse that had lost its reins and began to indulge itself wantonly.

"It's over, Rika, I'm sorry for you, my plan has failed, I can't save you."

Ayumi Kamibashi, who felt that the future was dark, couldn't help but say to herself.

As if he hadn't heard the self-talk behind him, Hayama walked directly inside.

Located at the highest point in Hinamizawa, the Hoshiko Shrine is an ordinary and traditional Sakura Shrine, and from the outside, there is nothing special about it except that the shrine building is larger than the average shrine outside.

Approaching, the first thing that catches your eye is a worship hall dedicated to worshippers in front of you, a large bluestone square on the left, a Kagura shrine dedicated to sacrificial dances for witches in the depths of the square, and a water house for washing hands on the right.

Behind the worship hall, a taller building hides behind.

If nothing else, it is the main hall where the shrine is dedicated to storing the body of the god and serves as a place for the god to dwell, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

At this time, the entire shrine seemed very quiet, as if it was really the residence of a god, and no human beings were allowed.

"Anyone? I'm coming to visit the shrine! Hayama

Hayato shouted directly, breaking the tranquility of the shrine.

"Hey! Hayama, don't be impulsive!

Ayumi Kamibashi, who caught up, quickly pulled Hayama Hayato and said.

"I'm not impulsive." Hayama Hayato looked at Ayumi Uekhashi with a look of course, "As a traveler coming to visit the shrine, shouldn't the priests and witches here come out to receive them?" "

Isn't that the proper etiquette of a shrine?"

"Eh..."

Ayumi Kamibashi was momentarily speechless by Hayato Hayama's overly legitimate reason.

Finding that there were no Hayama Hayato coming out of the shrine, without waiting for Ayumi Kamebashi to speak, he went directly over the worship platform and walked towards the inside of the worship hall.

"Huh? Wait for me! Seeing this, Ayumi Kamibashi hurriedly followed.

The interior of the worship hall is hollow, except for a passage in the middle that leads to the rear main hall, and there are several rooms on the left and right sides, which look like study, dormitory, and kitchen, which are supposed to be the residence of the people inside the shrine.

Hayama Hayato observed and found that this place should have been inhabited recently, but it was not there at this time.

Neither discovering anything special nor attacking secretly, Hayato Hayama frowned and set his sights on the deepest part of the shrine, the main hall dedicated to the divine body.

At the entrance of this main hall stand two tall statues of gods, holding a large knife, which looks quite powerful.

"Let's go, let's go inside the main hall."

Hayato Hayama greeted the person who was looking for clues in the study and walked towards the main hall.

"Do you really want to go in?"

Looking at the gate locked by a large lock, as a Sakura countryman, Ayumi Kamibashi is still a little taboo about the main hall where gods are enshrined and humans are not allowed to enter.

"It's coming."

Hayama Hayato smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, I forgot to say something. "

What's going on?" Ayumi Kamibashi wondered.

"Actually, I—don't believe in God!"

Rumble!

As soon as the words fell, the substitute world emerged, and he kicked straight into the main hall with a chain door.

"I don't believe the quality of this door."

Hayama Hayato beckoned to the stunned Ayumi Kamibashi on the side: "Let's go, go in and see the gods." "

You, what do you really want me to say..."

Ayumi Kamibashi, who was already somewhat adapted to Hayama's style of doing things, opened her mouth, and finally chose to break the jar and break it, and followed into the main hall.

Generally, the main hall of the shrine is filled with statues of gods and deities, or ritual vessels used by gods.

However, when Hayato Hayama and the two entered, they found that the shrine was enshrined in a fist-sized stone.

"What is the meaning of offering this stone?"

Just when Hayama Hayato was a little puzzled, Ayumi Kamibashi on the side took out a book and explained.

"According to this shrine, this is the metamorphosis given by Amaterasu."

"Of course, based on what I learned from this chronicle, I guess this should be a meteorite picked up by Hinamizawa's ancestors."
