"So tired, but we finally made it to the mountain!"
"Huff... huff..."
At the top of the mountain, two girls bent over, panting heavily.
Because they were cute girls, even while complaining, it was still pleasant to watch them.
"Let's replenish our fluids first. Drink slowly."
Kitahara Sosuke handed over the bottled water he had bought along the way.
"Saved!"
"Thank you... huff, such a high place. Thankfully, I didn't bring Kokoa-chan."
Miko held the water bottle tightly with both hands and stood beside Sosuke, speaking in a very low voice.
Her words made Sosuke pause, then he quickly reacted.
"Ahahaha, that's right, that's right. We'll bring her out to play again next ti."
An extrely forced smile appeared on Sosuke's face.
"ow~"
At that mont, Kokoa was comfortably stretching out in a luxurious villa that was completely incomparable to her previous owner's ho.
The young lady of the Katsura family, wearing casual clothes and holding a small plate, walked over gently.
On it was the at of high-grade tuna, sothing Sosuke himself had hardly eaten.
"Do you like it?"
"ow~"
This was Kokoa's joyful cry, having completely forgotten her owner.
"There's more after you finish eating~"
Watching the kitten eat on the ground, the girl gently stroked its fur and couldn't help but think of the boy on the train that day. Her face turned a barely perceptible shade of red.
On the other side, Sosuke was looking around the shrine.
"Why do Japanese people like building such long staircases so much..."
Looking down the mountain, Sosuke couldn't help but mutter to himself.
At a glance, he couldn't tell how many steps there were, and he felt slightly speechless.
It wasn't that he felt tired.
Even though he was still carrying not-light tal weights, this amount of exercise wasn't much of a burden for him. It was just that he still felt sowhat inexplicably amazed by it.
While Sosuke let his thoughts wander as he looked at the long staircase, the two girls had already started slowly walking around the outside of the shrine, observing the surroundings.
"The air here is so fresh..."
Miko closed her eyes, feeling the atmosphere on the mountain top, and took a deep breath.
Hana, on the side, placed her hand over her eyes, looking upward toward the sun.
"It looks pretty good! Wow... this feeling, it's so solemn!"
The sowhat dilapidated shrine had a completely red torii gate, about ten ters high at the entrance, which was very imposing.
However, it now looked slightly dim, and the bottom of the pillars and the surrounding steps were covered with light green moss.
It looked as if no one had visited for a long ti.
"Will this place really be useful..."
For a mont, Sosuke's heart filled with doubt.
But since they had already co, they at least had to try.
"Hey you two, over here, over here!"
Hana had run inside the shrine and was calling out to the two of them in the direction of the entrance.
Sosuke looked at the energetic girl and waved back at her.
Then he glanced at the black-haired straight girl beside her friend Hana, who occasionally looked at certain places that were empty in Sosuke's view, seemingly always afraid of sothing.
"Let's go over too."
"Hmm..."
The two of them nodded and walked inside together.
"Jingle jingle..."
Hana energetically pulled the rope of the bell above the offering box, and a crisp sound ca from inside.
The three of them didn't go further inside but directly perford their worship outside the main hall.
"Is five yen for the offering alright?"
Hana asked, taking out a brass-colored coin with a small hole in the middle.
"It should be okay, right?"
Miko said, while solemnly taking out a 100 yen coin.
Sosuke observed their actions.
In his previous life, he didn't really believe in these things, but since he had inexplicably transmigrated, there was no reason to stubbornly adhere to the beliefs of his past life.
Moreover, in this world, there were inexplicable people like Miss Lolita. Even for his own sake, he couldn't help but want to try certain things.
After hesitating slightly, Sosuke took out a Noguchi Hideyo bill (1000 yen) from his pocket.
If he was going to do it, he should be a little more sincere.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if there are miko priestesses in this world who charge 100,000 yen per session..."
Sosuke naturally thought of his red-and-white, unscrupulous miko wife.
Then, looking at the two people beside him praying earnestly with their hands clasped together, Sosuke quickly discarded these distracting thoughts and also began to close his eyes and pray.
"I hope I can eat lots and lots of delicious food..."
Hana placed her hands on her plump chest, thinking happily in her heart.
Miko, beside her, looked extrely nervous.
"Please help Hana get rid of the dirty things around her, and if possible, please help too, God!"
"Please! I'll do anything you want..."
Starting from a certain day, this girl could suddenly see terrifying dirty things that ordinary people couldn't see.
Those were probably the existences called ghosts and monsters in human history.
She couldn't tell others about these unseen, unproven things.
Miko could only silently endure this world where bizarre, twisted, and disgusting ghosts road.
Fortunately, Miko, too frightened to move, discovered that if she pretended not to see them, it seed that she wouldn't attract their attention.
That is, she wouldn't get hurt.
It was a bit like Miss Lolita's situation. As long as she didn't answer her questions, she wouldn't be cursed.
So, from that day on, Miko had been constantly suppressing the fearful emotions in her heart, and it had been several months now.
Miko, whose face showed a composed, indifferent high school girl exterior, was actually terrified inside.
"As expected, she's still afraid."
On the other side, Kitahara Sosuke secretly opened one eye and glanced out of the corner of it. The girl was clearly trembling slightly due to nervousness. Only then did he close his eyes again.
"God, if you really exist, please help this girl beside nad Miko and grant her wish."
After thinking about it, Kitahara Sosuke felt uneasy and made a promise to the god he didn't know existed.
"In the days to co, I will definitely co to your shrine often to offer incense money."
Then, he added another sentence.
"Also, if this wish cannot be fulfilled..."
"Then, at least please let see the sa world that she sees."
For the first ti in his life, Kitahara Sosuke prayed this earnestly.
A cold wind rose within the shrine. The three of them stood there for a long ti after their prayers.
Finally, they finished their respective actions.
"See..."
Faintly, Kitahara Sosuke seed to hear a very unfamiliar voice clearly utter this single word in his ear.
For a mont, he thought it was an illusion.
But when he closed his eyes and then opened them again, what appeared before him was a real world that was completely different from what he had seen before.
