The Endless Shuttle

"Do you still want to go out now? Miss Tomie."

Fu Jiang didn't speak, and her increasingly obsessed eyes accompanied Luo Pei to explain everything.

Immediately, the girl bowed deeply to Luo Pei. As if she couldn't wait to read the contents of the book, she ran to the upstairs room.

All the hard work seems to be nothing compared to the power in front of us.

Luo Pei shrugged, drank the red wine in the glass in one go, packed his luggage and prepared to go out.

Today, he plans to go to Liulin Shrine.

Not only did Urushihara Ryuka agree to visit, but in this place, an item that took a lot of money in the original book Steins;Gate is stored.

IBM-5100. In short, an old-fashioned computer, a collectible fantasy for PC enthusiasts.

Because it has been too long, Luo Pei has almost forgotten what kind of role this thing plays in the plot, but since it is related to the time machine, it is not as general as "telephone microwave oven", so it should be in hand as soon as possible always good.

In order to kill the Priest of Death in 1913, both strength and a time machine are indispensable.

Otherwise, Luo Pei would have to "communicate" with the five sons of Azakalon cordially and desperately.

Stepping into Akihabara, the holy land of mansions, walking across the Manseibashi Bridge from Chuo Avenue, crushing to death two irrational undead who dared to harass, and entering the path at hand, Luo Pei saw the Liulin Shrine.

Right on the river under the iron bridge.

This is a small shrine that does not match the surrounding multi-purpose buildings.

The range is only about the size of a palm, and it is even doubtful whether it is considered a shrine or not. It can be said to be quite small.

Slowly approaching, bypassing the obstacles of the few planted trees, Luo Pei walked into this willow forest shrine.

Beside the two moss-covered stone lions, a girl in a priestess costume was cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground.

Dark green slightly curly short hair, slender figure, and watery eyes, there is no doubt that it is Urushihara Ruka.

"Miss Urushihara, it should be business hours now, right?"

Rope greeted with a smile.

Urushihara Liuhua seemed to be frightened by the sound, and shivered subconsciously, and then he was relieved when he saw the coming.

"...It's you."

Obviously, Ruka Urushihara did not forget Luo Pei.

Because of the extra points for appearance, it is so outstanding that even if Luo Pei wants people to forget him, it will probably be difficult.

"I said that I would come to visit the shrine, and Ms. Urushihara's reaction made me a little hurt."

Luo Pei walked to Ruka Urushihara and looked around.

"Is your father not here?"

"I'm so sorry."

Urushihara Liuhua bowed, and said in embarrassment.

"There are some trivial matters at home recently, and my father is still seeing guests. If you don't mind, please let me arrange for you to visit the shrine or draw lots..."

When saying this, Urushihara Luca was a little nervous.

Strictly speaking, she cannot be regarded as an official miko, and can only be said to be helping with the help of the daughter of the shrine priest. For small shrines, it may make the pilgrims who come here dissatisfied.

But Rope doesn't care.

A large part of the reason for him is to find Ruka Urushihara, and the IBM-5100 is just an incidental product.

"Then I will trouble Miss Miko."

Hearing this, the girl's perfect gentle smile appeared in front of Luo Pei, and even the surrounding atmosphere brightened a bit.

Chapter 18 The Lucky Lottery, the Vicious Butterfly Effect in the Lesioned World

Small but complete.

As a shrine, Liulin Shrine has almost everything that a shrine should have, and it also has a sense of tranquility that a large shrine does not have and a sense of Zen that does not belong to Shintoism.

In the aisle, the withered and fallen leaves on the ground were swept to the sides. If you come here in summer, coupled with the bursts of cicadas, it will definitely have a special flavor.

It's a good place to relax with nothing to do.

"Please come in."

Urushihara Ryuka respectfully opened the door, and Luo Pei walked in.

Stepping on the wooden floor, a pleasant smell poured into the tip of the nose. Looking along the source, in front of the statue facing the gate, a few burning brown incense sticks raised light blue smoke.

"Is it God Inari?" Rope asked.

The statue looks like a fox, and only Inari, who is in charge of the harvest, appears in this image in Japanese Shintoism.

Thanks to the blessing of studying various gods in the world of godslayer, Luo Pei can almost be called a doctor of mythology now, and Japan's complex god system is naturally not a problem.

"Well, Liulin Shrine enshrines Uga Mikunmei, the god in charge of harvest and exorcising evil spirits."

Urushihara Ryuka walked up to the statue with small steps, bowed, and then pulled out a wooden alley from under the statue, and there was a hole on the side of the box for people to put their hands in.

She knelt on the ground and asked Luo Pei with a smile.

"Sir, do you want to visit the shrine first, or draw lots?"

"Last time you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to introduce myself. Just call me Rope, "Sir" sounds weird. "

The black-haired youth also sat cross-legged opposite Urushihara Luca.

"Then give me a sign first."

"OK."

Miss Miko shook the bucket vigorously, then pushed her to Luo Pei with hopeful eyes.

Luo Pei knew why the girl looked at him like this.

According to the unwritten rules of the shrine, as long as he stretches his hand in, no matter whether the lottery is good or bad, he must offer some incense money to the shrine when he leaves later. This is also a way for the shrine to make money. Need money, the clergy need to eat.

Smiling, he stretched his hand in without hesitation.

Since embarking on the road of trials, Luo Pei has never had the embarrassment of worrying about money—of course, the first trial does not count.
