I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

Tori Mayumi hurriedly walked to the shrine to check.

Inside the shrine, there are indeed only a few dilapidated wooden boxes, as Araki Sosuke said.

"Ms. Araki, can you help me remove those wooden boxes?"

Araki Sosuke drew out a few wooden boxes without any difficulty.

Looking at the quaint patterns on the wooden box, Tori Mayumi seemed to see something incredible.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed one of the wooden boxes a few times, and the mark of the jade like three tadpoles appeared from the dust.

"This is... the mark of Akagi Shrine."

She shivered and opened the wooden box.

A bunch of simple scrolls appeared in front of the two.

Tori Mayumi unfolded several of the scrolls one after another, checked them quickly, and took a deep breath in disbelief.

"This is... the genealogy of the Kotoriyu clan, as well as the Akagi Shrine's "Akagi Kojiki"."

"Oh, is it great?"

"Aren't these things destroyed in the fire that year? Why is God hiding here..."

With doubts, Yu Mayumi Kotori opened several other boxes one after another.

Scrolls, in the form of words and paintings, silently record the fact that Yuzu Kotori has spent his entire life enshrining the shrine.

Except for some scrolls and Ukiyo-e that record the history of the shrine, in the last three boxes, there are quietly placed a dilapidated wooden bow, a rusty long sword, and nine gray pieces wrapped in flannel. A necklace made of gou jade.

"Secret... demon... dry... Yo..."

Looking at these three things, the little bird wandering maiden was panicked and incoherent.

She looked at Sosuke Araki with a look like a small animal begging for help.

"Calm down... Is this a valuable antique?"

Araki Sosuke curiously picked up the long sword and looked at it.

The hilt and scabbard of this dilapidated long sword seemed to be entwined with some kind of animal leather, and the exposed metal parts were rusty.

He tried to pull gently.

Sure enough, the knife seemed to be rusted to death and could not be pulled out.

"For Akagi Shrine and Kotoriyu, these are things that are more precious than antiques..."

It took three full minutes for Tori Mayumi to try to calm his emotions.

A drop of crystal tears fell from her cheeks, and she just knelt down on the grass and whispered.

"In 1842, Akagi Shrine was razed to the ground by an inexplicable fire. The three sacred artifacts of Akagi, the "Ancient Akagi" which records the Kotoriyu clan's loyalty to the shrine for generations, and the genealogy, also disappeared in the fire. Akagi was at its peak. The shrine has also declined since then."

"The three magical weapons of Akagi?"

Wiping her tears, Yu Mayumi Kotori turned her head to look at the worn-out long knife in Sosuke Araki's hand, and the other two things beside her.

It was a long bow made of unknown biological bones, and a necklace made of eight gray translucent jade.

"The demon sword July rain, the demon bow cry and the dry gouyu jade are collectively called the three magical weapons of Akagi. It is said that they are the first priests of Akagi Shrine, who have obtained the life of slaying demons and slaying demons... Must be gods, guarding these things in the fire In the shrine."

"That's a terrific antique. Can you get the land back if you sell it?"

Hearing what she really said, Sosuke Araki quickly put the long knife back into the wooden box.

He can't afford to break this kind of old crafts.

"If you sell it as an antique, it shouldn't be enough to buy back the land... And the real value of these things is far greater than money... Besides, will the gods agree to sell the artifacts and buy back the land that belongs to the shrine?"

Toriyuki Mayumi smiled wryly, denying the idea.

From these three items, she couldn't feel any power of the gods, presumably the reason why no one worshipped them for so many years.

Even so, these things are extremely important to Akagi Shrine, and they represent the inheritance of the Kotoriyu family from generation to generation.

Moreover, as long as you devote yourself to the gods, you may be able to regain the true brilliance of the artifact in time.

"Such a valuable thing, no one has found it in this warehouse for so many years? It's like a precious old photo hidden in the corner of the warehouse... I'm blinded by a leaf, I don't know the autumn."

For such a big-hearted witch goddess officer, Sosuke Araki was also speechless.

"Ichiba is blind, but I don't know autumn... Mr. Araki has learned the lesson."

After quietly recollecting Araki Sosuke's words, Yu Mayumi Kotori nodded and said yes.

If it hadn't been for the action of Mr. Araki who could see through the gods, the little bird you clan would be afraid that they would not be able to retrieve these lost artifacts on the day the shrine closed down.

"Well, then you can count it slowly, I'm going to be late, and flash first."

Looking at the time, Araki Sosuke got up and wanted to leave.

Since others don't plan to sell, the self who helped find the antiques seems to have no chance to divide the money.

"Ms. Araki...thank you!"

The girl's sincere voice came from behind.

"Just make me a big meal next time."

With a wave of his hand, Araki Sosuke clutched his aching heart, and left without looking back.

...

By the time Araki Sosuke arrived at the delivery station, several late-shift delivery staff had already gathered there.

"Yo, newcomer, I heard that you are very kind, so you actually took that difficult activity."

Seeing Sosuke Araki approaching, a delivery person wearing a headband immediately joked to him.

"Don't mention it, although the locomotive is easy to use, the clothes are too shameful, and the crotch is tight... I knew there was such a trouble, so I won't boast about it at the station master."

Sousuke Araki complained after receiving the cigarette handed by the opponent expertly.

"Hey, I want to regret it now, so stick to it until the linkage activity is over. By the way, is it still used to running the evening shift?"

Another delivery person immediately made up the knife.

"There is no one on the road late at night. You can run as you want. It's so cool! Besides, there is a late night allowance, right."

"Beware of speeding tickets..."

"If you are speeding, you don't have to worry about it. Every time you check if the license plate is wrong...ahhahaha."

As if found out that something was missing, Sosuke Araki quickly covered it up with embarrassing laughter.

"Huh... the evening shift is good in these aspects, but there are naturally reasons why there are fewer people willing to run... You can't confirm whether the person who placed the order at night is human."

The old god, the delivery person with the headband, said to the ground.

"It's starting again, Daquan-kun is a special story for scaring newcomers."

Someone ridiculed him.

"Hey, that's what happened really, how is it a story? Look at me someday I didn't strive to end work before twelve o'clock."

Oizumi-kun immediately retorted angrily.

"Oh, what happened to Oizumi-senpai?"

Sosuke Araki asked curiously.

"That will start when I just started running the evening shift. Once I was young and frivolous, I was immersed in the beauty and freedom of the evening shift just like the current Araki-kun until that day..."

"It's too long, please be concise and within the time of a cigarette, thank you!"

Araki Sosuke interrupted him immediately.

"Well, in short, I got the order from the ghost."

"what?"
