268 Fukuyama Shrine And Shironeko (1/2)
Kimura Kazuki and Harunaka walked out of the train station as soon as they got down from the Shinkansen.
Harunaka's eyes were wandering around. Previously, she would always travel to other districts with her sisters. It was her first time going out with a guy and he was her senior whom she had mixed feelings about.
After they got out of the train station and without the need for her senior to lead the way, Harunaka saw a boy holding up a sign with Kimura Kazuki's name on it. That boy was Asuka Shigeru while the person standing next to him was Mei Shigeru. The siblings waved at Kimura Kazuki when they saw him.
”Master Kimura, over here.” Both Asuka and Mei knew the strength of Kimura Kazuki and thus they did not dare to disrespect him.
Upon hearing their greetings, all the bypassers looked in their direction as they thought some big shot was here. However they were speechless as all they saw were four teenagers. Perhaps they were thinking that four of them were playing some sort of role playing game.
Harunaka looked at Asuka and Mei with curiosity. Asuka and Mei were also looking at Harunaka who was next to Kimura Kazuki curiously.
”Where's your grandfather?”
”He's drawing talismans in the hotel,” Asuka answered truthfully. He and his sister had watched the Jade Dragon Flag Competition, thus they knew exactly how strong Kimura Kazuki was. Furthermore, Sei Shigeru had gotten to know the reason behind the incident during his past visits to the Arisu Shrine, even though he ran away as soon as he saw Kimura Kazuki. Thus, Sei Shigeru had told Asuka and Mei everything about the Arisu family.
That left Asuka and Mei speechless as they did not expect the Kimura Kazuki they first met at Mount Tobiuo to be so powerful.
As for the death of Arisu Yuusuke, both of them did not think that Kimura Kazuki was cruel. On the contrary, they would be surprised if Kimura Kazuki failed to act.
Under the lead of Asuka and Mei, both Kimura Kazuki and Harunaka arrived at the Seven Summers Hotel in a short period of time.
Even though Harunaka did not know Mei, Mei knew who she was. Thus, they had a great conversation along the way to the hotel. After all, she had watched Harunaka's performance in the Jade Dragon Flag Competition on television. Mei was especially amazed by the Youbi Sword Drawing Skill that she had pulled off.
Although it was taught by Kimura Kazuki, Mei still admired Harunaka as she managed to pull off such a powerful sword style even though she was of her age.
However, it was unfortunate that Mei did not master any sword style. She was the president of the Archery Club back in her school. At first, she wanted to participate in the national competition, but the competition was held in the summer holiday and she was occupied during that time. Thus, she could not participate in it.
Fukuyama Shrine was one of the most famous shrines in Kyoto. It was called the Toyama Shrine 300 years ago. After being taken over by the Fukuyama family, it was renamed as Fukuyama Shrine.
Fukuyama Shrine was also one of the main forces of the Deity Rising Palace. Since ancient times, the Fukuyama family had passed down the Fukuyama Shine for almost 300 years.
Harunaka who was at the side became very quiet once she met Asuka and Mei. She was not afraid of strangers. It was just that Asuka and Mei were not ordinary people, thus she was a little restrained. Furthermore, she would not speak blatantly since senpai was on her side.
Harunaka totally agreed with the phrase that ”silence is golden”.
Harunaka's eyes widened as she heard that Fukuyama Shrine belonged to the Fukuyama family.
