I'm in Conan, and I'm the mastermind behind the scenes.

Have I ascended to heaven?

Looking at the thick clouds under her feet, Xiaolan opened her mouth slightly, showing a cute expression.

At this time, the sea of ​​clouds suddenly rolled up, and white mist outlined some pictures in the sky.

That was the experience of a shrine maiden named Kikyo who served the sacred tree and got rid of those harmful monsters during the Warring States Period....

What surprised Xiaolan the most.

The witch looked exactly like her. Looking at her, Xiaolan seemed to be looking at another version of herself.

"How is this possible?"

After reading it, Xiaolan's head was dizzy and her face was full of disbelief.

"My child, you are the reincarnation of Platycodon grandiflorum."

A disembodied, male-female voice suddenly came from the cloud world. This voice sounded distant and seemed to come from another world.

"you......you are......"

Xiaolan opened her eyes wide in surprise. She had heard this voice in the scene just now.

"I am the sacred tree."

As the sound fell, the clouds parted to both sides, and a towering tree suddenly appeared, running from the ground to the sky. You couldn't see the end when you looked up, and the clouds and mist shrouded the branches.

At this time, Xiaolan was being supported by a leaf. hold

"Really are......sacred tree......grown ups!!"

Xiaolan stammered when she spoke, and her tone could not hide the shock.

"My child, you are the reincarnation of Platycodon, a born witch."The disembodied voice has an inexplicable affinity," Are you willing to continue to protect peace in the coming troubled times?"

"Lord Divine Tree, are you saying that our world will be in danger?"Xiaolan was shocked.

"The age of great strife is coming, whether it will be an opportunity or a danger is still unclear."

The disembodied voice sighed, and a crystal clear leaf fell from the towering tree, floated in front of Xiao Lan, and turned into a green crystal necklace.

"Put it on, kid"

"No matter what, I don’t want you to encounter danger. There is an evil atmosphere around you."

"Thank you, Lord Divine Tree!"

Xiaolan bowed solemnly and took the vibrant green crystal necklace with both hands.......

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan."

In the courtyard of the shrine, I saw Xiaolan standing in front of the ancient tree in a daze. Conan stepped forward and pulled her clothes.

"What's wrong?!"

Xiaolan suddenly came back to her senses and looked around suspiciously.

"Also said what happened."Conan complained:"You have been standing here for almost twenty minutes."

"Sister Xiaolan must be thinking about her boyfriend."Bumei's precise last-ditch attack

"No."

Xiaolan glanced at the sacred tree in front of her and held the crystal necklace around her neck thoughtfully.

Did Xiaolan wear this when going out?

Conan showed a strange expression and was about to ask, but his attention was distracted by someone who came out of the shrine. Downtrodden men attract......

Xinghei Ichiro walked on the road in despair.

The streets are crowded with people, most of whom are tourists attending the Fushimi Inari Shrine Grand Festival.

They swim together, laughing and lively......It seems that he and Yukihei Ichiro are from completely different worlds.

"A person like me would be a failure in life."

Xinghei Ichiro smiled to himself, avoided these crowds, and returned to his humble home of only a dozen square meters.

"Failed again."

In front of him, there was a bronze box that resembled a shrine. Ichiro Yukihei didn't know what was in it.

He found it among his father's belongings after his recent death, and planned to take it to a shrine or temple to exchange for something. Money to treat his daughter's illness.

According to his father's diary, this is something that has been passed down to the Yukihira family.

Oh, hundreds of years ago, their family was a monk in Hida City, where they ran a restaurant enshrining the statue of the two-faced Su Nuo god. Temple.

However, after the war, the temple was ruined, and the Yukihira family also moved here.

By his generation, they are basically at the bottom of society.

Ichiro Yukihira works hard every day, hoping to bring a happy life to his family, but ,But......

Thinking of a few days ago, members of the Sumiyoshi Society rushed in and injured his father, and his wife committed suicide due to the humiliation. Ichiro Yukihei closed his eyes and clenched his palms tightly, with veins popping up on the back of his hands.

"Bang!!"

Knowing that Ichiro Yukihei was back, several members of the Sumiyoshi Club came to harass me again.

Listening to their rough kicking of the door, Ichiro Yukihei took a deep breath, his originally straight back bent down again, opened the door, and bowed:

"Takahashi-kun, please give me three more days."

"I give you time, who gives me time."

The Sumiyoshi-kai team member who walked in sneered and slapped Ichiro Yukihira on the face.

"The total with principal and interest is 1.7 million. You are also the management of Matsuda Electric after all. You can’t even get this little money out, right?"

"I am just a team leader in the company and was fired a month ago."

Xinghei Ichiro lowered his head and gritted his teeth to endure,"And the last time, wasn't it still 1.3 million?"

"You delayed it for so long, don't you need to add interest? Takahashi

, who was in his thirties and had tattoos on his arms, had a playful expression and reached out to pat Ichiro Yukihei on the face.

Then he looked at the bronze box on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said,"Hey, do you still have antiques at home?""

He picked up the bronze box and tried to open it, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.

"What crap?!"

Throwing the bronze box to the ground, Takahashi looked at the coward Yukihei Ichiro viciously, kicked him down as well, and snorted coldly:

"I'm telling you, don't use delaying tactics on me"

"I have found out, you also have a blind daughter who is being treated in the hospital, right?"

"She looks pretty good, just like your wife. If you don’t pay back the money today, I will make her a big star."

"The Blind Girl series seems to have been selling well, haha——"

At the end of the sentence, Takahashi and his two younger brothers both showed wild smiles.

And Ichiro Yukihei got up from the ground, as if he had been touched against the scales, and shouted with red eyes:"You are not allowed to touch my daughter!!""

"Who do you think you are? How dare you shout at me."

Takahashi pushed Ichiro Yukihei away with disdain. He fell to the ground, his forehead just holding the tip of the bronze box. Boom!

Blood flowed out from Yukihiro Ichiro's forehead, and when he turned around, it was absorbed by the bronze box.

"Want to trade?"

In a daze, a deep voice sounded in Ichiro Yukihira's ears.

He looked at the copper box that had been opened at some point and a finger wrapped in heavy talisman paper inside, and nodded heavily, hating He said:"Yes!!"

As he said this, he desperately put the finger into his mouth......
