Chapter 406 Divine Sakura Tree
"Honey, for the sake of our child, of course I will draw the fortune seriously." Camus rolled his eyes at Vermouth in his heart. He felt that Vermouth calling him honey really made him uncomfortable all over, but his face was still full of love for his wife.
That’s right, this couple who went to Naruto-Taisha Shrine to draw divinations because of their childlessness were actually Camus and Vermouth who were disguising themselves as they were planning to investigate the shrine.
After they specifically collected information about Narujin Taisha Shrine, they learned that the fortune-telling there was very accurate, so they planned to use this as an excuse to go to the shrine in person to investigate.
The two of them held each other's hands and slowly walked up the mountain like a close couple.
When they saw rows of torii gates, they knew that the Narugami Taisha Shrine was not far away.
"It looks like the scenery here is quite nice." Vermouth admired the surrounding scenery and saw a few birds not too afraid of strangers pecking at something on the ground not far away. "There are even crows."
"Because the environment in the mountains is better." Kamu responded casually, and under the pretext of appreciating the scenery, he also looked around, observing the surrounding environment calmly.
"Does the minister of Inazuma really live here?" Kamu was a little skeptical. This place looked like an ordinary tourist attraction.
There were ordinary tourists everywhere around, and the occasional shrine maidens in shrine costumes were obviously not trained at all. They were just ordinary people, and there wasn't even a surveillance camera here.
Seriously, wasn't this something Glenlivet had made up to trick them?
Until now, Camus still doesn't quite believe that someone can really live for hundreds of years. It doesn't sound very scientific.
In comparison, Vermouth had some trust in Granlivet's words. After all, her appearance had not changed much in decades, and she had also seen examples of rejuvenation with her own eyes, and there were more than one case.
If she is the result of biotechnology research, then there is also Cointreau. Until now, Vermouth is still unclear whether the reason why Cointreau's appearance remains unchanged is the same as hers.
It is also because of the existence of Cointreau that Vermouth has reservations about whether unnatural factors such as magic really exist.
"Rum has confirmed the information based on the portrait of Lei Dianzi provided by Granlivet, and someone has indeed seen a woman with a similar appearance appearing at the shrine recently." So what Granlivet said about Minister Inazuma living in Narukami Taisha for a long time should be true.
Although she couldn't figure it out, as the head of an underground organization, she appeared openly in such a crowded place and didn't move for a long time. Was she really not afraid that some hostile forces would get angry and come to attack her without any regard? Or was it like Granlivet said, she was strong enough that she didn't care about the leakage of her identity and location information?
"We're here." After stepping onto the last step, a shrine surrounded by cherry trees appeared in front of Vermouth and Camus.
The breeze gently blew through the tall trees, and the pink and purple cherry blossom petals danced in the air like a group of light butterflies, floating down and scattering.
These beautiful petals finally fell into the clear and transparent pool below. The pool water was like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery. The petals floated in the water, swaying with the ripples of the water, like a dream, beautiful beyond words.
Vermouth and Camus looked at each other knowingly, then walked into the shrine together.
When they reached the entrance of the shrine, they saw a woman in a miko costume busy welcoming tourists. Vermouth and Camus walked towards her.
A shy smile appeared on Vermouth's disguised face. She looked at the miko slightly stiffly and whispered, "Hello, miko, my name is Yamada Kana, and the one next to me is my husband Yamada Kunio."
Then, Vermouth lowered her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and continued in a soft voice: "We heard from others that the divination here is particularly effective, so we came here specially to try it out. I wonder where exactly to go to get the divination?"
Seeing Yamada Kana's unnatural reaction, the witch immediately realized that the content of the fortune telling the couple wanted to do might involve privacy, so she didn't ask any more questions and directly told them in detail the location and operation procedures for the fortune telling.
"Next to the sacred cherry tree...the sacred fortune box..." Vermouth muttered these two words, and together with Camus, they walked towards the sacred cherry tree according to the instructions of the witch.
In fact, before they got there, they had already seen the huge cherry tree that could be named "Divine Sakura".
"It really doesn't look like it grew naturally." Vermouth exclaimed in amazement.
"The tree trunk is really in the shape of a fox." Camu's mouth twitched, and he didn't believe that it was not man-made.
