In the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, despite the endless carnival atmosphere around him, Minister Miki stared at the scene in the center of the black mud with a sad face.

He understood it the moment Ryoumen Sukuna used Ryuji Kosaka’s body to deliver the final blow to the Earth Goddess.

No matter what the outcome, Ryuji Takasaka will never come back.

The priest stood behind him, two glasses of champagne in his hands, his face full of confusion.

[Should I give him some personal space now? ]

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the front. The priest looked up and saw Minister Miki with a shocked expression, as if he had seen something incredible.

“What happened? Oh my God!”

The champagne in the priest’s hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

Minister Miki stumbled forward, a smile gradually appearing on his face, his voice filled with excitement.

“Back! Everyone is back!”

On the screen, a four-armed strong man was holding a young man in his arms, breaking out of the black mud…

……

Wow!
Endless waves crashed against the shore, and a short-haired woman stared at the sea with a sad face.

Behind her, a couple looked at her with complicated expressions, concern and worry in their eyes.

The wife gently pulled the sleeve of the man beside her and whispered, “Xincheng, don’t we really need to persuade Lina? The death of the ship that Dagu was on is really a heavy blow to her.”

Xincheng was silent for a moment, then slowly reached out and patted his wife’s shoulder.

“Let’s give her some time alone so she can calm down.”

Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a violent gushing sound was heard from the sea behind them.

Xincheng looked back subconsciously, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

“I knew you were lucky!”

he shouted excitedly.

Above the sea, a whale as big as an island slowly opened its huge mouth, and a huge warship appeared from it.

As the sound of a warship falling into the water was heard, an officer on the deck cautiously poked his head out.

“…”

The deputy on the splint looked at the officer and his fiancée hugging each other tightly, and couldn’t help but turn around and look at the whale gradually sinking into the water behind him, and sighed.

“The reason for saving the dolphin… Does this count as good deeds being rewarded?”

……

“Please take care! Mr. Donald Valentine!”

District 13, including Sheriff White and countless high-ranking officials, looked in awe at the two figures in front of them who were surrounded by the crowd.

After the other party has completely walked out of the gate of District 13.

Sheriff White couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and slowly waved to the many police officers behind him.

“The commander-in-chief has left. Please return to your post!”

“Roger that!”

Martin was wearing a white coat with a label on his chest clearly printed with “Astronomy Intern – Martinez”.

After all the troubles subsided, he returned to school with his mother’s encouragement and started a new chapter in his life.

With a solid foundation, he was successfully admitted to university and was invited to do an internship in District 13.

【Maybe this kind of life is not bad! 】

A soft clicking sound broke the silence in the corridor.

Martin keenly noticed the unusual movement at the corner ahead. He reacted quickly and steady himself from falling.

“I’m sorry, did I bump into you?”

Martin asked with concern, but was stunned when he looked up.

It was as if Cupid’s arrow had pierced his heart, and before him appeared a girl with short silver hair, looking at him helplessly.

“How long do you intend to hold my hand, Mr. Martin?”

The girl joked with a half-smile.

“Ah! Sorry, I lost my composure!”

Martin hurriedly let go of his hand and turned his head away awkwardly.

However, to his surprise, the silver-haired girl did not mind his gaffe. Instead, she walked past him easily, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter.

“I was just kidding! I was distracted and didn’t pay attention to the road. It’s lunch time now, are you free? To thank you, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

The girl invited as she turned around with her hands behind her back.

This sudden change caught Martin off guard. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed the silver-haired girl.

“Excuse me, what’s your name?”

“I’m the cybersecurity consultant for District 13. Just call me Lucy!”

……

“After two long months, the Onbashira Festival has finally come to an end!”

The Onbashirasai is the most important sacrificial activity of Suwa Shrine. Historically, Takenakata God came to the Suwa area and established faith in the local area, but in fact the relationship between the two is not one of conquest, but rather a fusion of the local beliefs of Suwa Daimyojin.

Therefore, in order to commemorate this relationship, the final step of the ritual is for the pillar symbolizing Suwa Daimyojin to touch the mikoshi symbolizing Takemikatajin.

However, the two people who took over the business shown on the screen made countless viewers stunned.

“Are they really Yamagami Tetsuya and Takasaka Ryuji?”

Looking back from the live broadcast, the priest looked at Minister Miki who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

“By the way, I never thought that you would take over Minister Fujiwara’s position without saying a word.”

Minister Miki scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Maybe it was because I was a little too prominent during the black mud incident?”

“That’s true. Your performance was indeed outstanding. The Neon Commander happened to be in the International Conference Room. I just didn’t expect the transfer to be so fast!” “Have you considered the issue of subsequent successors?”

Minister Miki shook his head.

Then he turned his attention to live streaming again.

Following the other person’s gaze, a clear look appeared on the priest’s face.

I saw Takasaka Ryuji excitedly directing the mikoshi…

“You, on the other hand, have been invited by the International Faith Committee, right?”

Minister Miki looked at the priest who said “it has nothing to do with me” and launched an attack.

The priest was slightly stunned and said with a joking tone.

“Really? As expected of Minister Miki, his information channels are amazing.”

“It is still under preparation, and the president will probably be His Holiness the Pope.”

“What about the original church?”

“Your Holiness is only holding this position part-time! The new Minister of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is more interesting.”

Minister Miki was very interested in gossip when he heard it.

“Do you still remember the young man who inherited the right hand of Archangel Michael? It is said that the first thing he did after taking office was to deal with the problem of priests.”

“Those guys should have paid the price long ago!”

Buzz!

There was a strong sense of oppression from the sky, which made the two of them stunned.

Then they all looked out the window at the same time.

“really……”

……

Inside Suwa Shrine, sunlight shines through the ancient wooden beams and onto the tatami, creating mottled shadows.

“Fang Nai, you need to raise this movement a little higher!”

“Yes! Misaka-sensei!”

The girl with silver twin ponytails, wearing a shrine maiden’s costume, was concentrating on learning the ritual, striving to perform every move in accordance with the standard.

When everything was on track, Misaka Yana turned around and her eyes fell on the black-haired girl who was shrinking and hesitant to move forward not far away.

“Mozi, why do you always just stand there and watch silently?”

The black-haired girl spoke hesitantly, “But, Lord Misaka, I…”

Misaka Yana shook her head helplessly, walked lightly to the black-haired girl, and gently stroked her head.

“Just call me Misaka-sister. Also, don’t always be so self-deprecating. Your life is also unique. Believe in yourself.”

Seeing that the black-haired girl still looked a little timid, Misaka Yana took out a crystal clear magatama from her arms and gently tied it around her neck.

“Misaka-kaku…Sister, how can this be possible!”

The black-haired girl looked up in surprise.

Misaka Yana looked at the other person’s shy expression and showed a satisfied smile on her face, “I don’t need this magatama anymore. I hope it can bring you confidence.”

“Yes……”

“Remember, be the protagonist of your own life, and you also have the right to pursue happiness!”

“Yes!”

At this moment, a lazy call came from not far away: “Yanai, it’s time to pray.”

“Yes! Suwako-sama!”

Misaka Yana responded, looking back, only to see the blond god lazily lying on the tatami with a leisurely look in his eyes.

Misaka Yana quickly cheered herself up, walked to the front of the shrine, and began to prepare for the prayer ceremony.

【May everyone be able to bravely pursue their own happiness and enjoy the beauty of life! 】

The girl is praying…

Buzz!

There was a strong sense of oppression from the sky, and Misaka Yana opened her eyes and looked up at the sky.

“This is?”

……

Amid the huge crowds of people, the pillar and the mikoshi met.

Yamagami Tetsuya and Takasaka Ryuji held the sacred banners in their hands at the same time.

“On the mountain, do you remember meeting a passerby that night at the Unification Church?”

Listening to Takaoka Ryuji’s joke, Yamagami Tetsuya raised the corner of his mouth.

It was as if the two of them returned to the night when they first met, and Yamagami Tetsuya’s tone was filled with emotion.

“At that time, I also thought that if it weren’t for fate, I might also be like this student, basking in the sunshine.”

“At that time, I thought that I was really unlucky today. I actually encountered a murder scene. The guy wearing the devil mask must be a murderer who kills without blinking an eye.”

Takasaka Ryuji spoke with a casual tone as he looked at Yamagami Tetsuya.

“But coming back to the point, that meeting was also the starting point for me to embark on the extraordinary journey.”

“Maybe it’s fate’s arrangement!”

Buzz!

As soon as the words fell, a strong sense of oppression came from the sky, causing the two of them and countless believers at the scene to look up.

The “city” emerges from the void.

The next moment, the voice of Suwa Daimyojin echoed in their ears.

“Welcome to the Kingdom of God!” (End of this chapter)
