The wandering shrine maidens have traveled around the country, praying and singing at various places, earning money for living.
They have a relationship with the Yakuza in each region.
And as for the Yakuza, they didn’t have that great power in the Edo period. It’s a feudal system after all. There can’t be a big boss with such great power that extends on many people. At most, they can lead a local town. Well, there’s a network or a group between post towns of the highway so even if the boss of each area knows each other’s face and have a degree of friendship, they can’t put together a massive organization with one big boss Nei said. The story of Kunisada Chuji’s activities at the end of the Edo period is known around the world that he became a hero of the masses after the Meiji era. The Kabuki Panzui director palace guard is different from the town guy in Edo town. What I mean is that in Edo, there were residents who are gamblers were residents of the underground world but, in Meiji era, it’s become a foundation of a Yakuza hero Why? They’ve used so much power that they’ve increased the change to come to the surface with it Danna-sama, most of the luxury homes in the region in Japan are still from the Meiji era. In the Meiji period, the feudal system has disappeared, and the distribution system became free, especially the control of Confucian warriors are gone, and the merchants were able to do business freely. Also, the national isolation is lifted, and the ability to trade with foreign countries resulted in the birth of a lot of wealthy people everywhere And the Yakuza who are linked to such commerce grows larger as well
Yakuza increased its scale in the Meiji era.
Once their scale grows big enough, there will be conflicts. If those working only in their local town grows stronger, the surrounding Yakuza will become affiliated and grow. Then, they’ll have an interest in some town, and it’ll become a war Thus, they need an arbitrator
Misuzu nods on Nei’s explanation.
I don’t know who but some people thought that the wandering shrine maidens’ power to read someone’s mind can be used for the arbitration. Then, the shrine-maidens mentioned above are now residing in Takakura shrine Thus, the Takakura shrine maidens were used by the Yakuza. The Yakuza only wants the Tsuki power, which means only the wandering shrine maidens. I mean, they didn’t notice the Yomi power that could make others obey them. At that time, the original shrine maidens of the Takakura shrine had a decline in their power Nei said. The shrine’s priest marries the wandering maiden and the Yomi power gradually reappears, that’s the Takakura shrine’s wish
Then that means.
They only made contact with the Yakuza to revive Takakura shrine economically. Not with donations but a long term relationship, the Yakuza has come to revere them as well
For Yakuza like Andou who doesn’t know the truth about the shrine maidens, they’ll protect the Takakura shrine.
Therefore, the Tsuki shrine maiden’s training continued. In a way, it’s so bad. The Tsuki shrine maiden is a throwaway every time the Yakuza conflict happens which forces them to perform an arbitration ceremony. Therefore, there are a lot of Tsuki shrine maiden candidates.
There’s two out of the three sisters here.
Tsukiko and Luna are both Tsuki shrine maiden candidates.
It’s unknown when there will be another conflict between Yakuza happening after all
Once there’s another conflict, the virgin girl will perform the arbitration most of the time.
However, that shrine maiden will see the hearts of the two big bosses of Yakuza.
They’ll suffer mentally and tend to die early.
Then, the child born from the arbitration will most likely be the Tsuki shrine maiden. The child of the priest would be the Yomi shrine maiden. After all, Takakura shrine desires to get back the Yomi power The priest and his daughter don’t care about the Yakuza.
Takakura shrine who had their Mko power decline once wants to take back the unique Yomi power.
Thus, there are two kinds of shrine maidens, is it?
Ruriko asks.
I think so. Perhaps, Kiyomi-san is the current Yomi shrine maiden Tsukiko’s mother was the only Tsuki shrine maiden
Kiyomi is Yomi.
Kyomi-san is the sister of Tsukiko’s mother.
Then the next Tsuki shrine maiden has Tsukiko and Luna, then Yomiko’s the Yomi shrine maiden
I mutter.
I don’t know Yo-chan. Tsukiko-san, does Kiyomi-san have a child? Yes, a girl And her name?
Right, which is it?
Koyomi-san
Koyomi.
So it’s a Yomi.
And who’s the father of that girl? Uhm, I heard that it’s someone with the Takakura shrine’s blood, but I’ve never met him
Then, Edie speaks up.
I think that child has the same Papa as Tsukiko
Tsukiko’s father.
That would be the priest who was killed together with their mother.
Maybe the priest impregnates both the Tsuki and Yomi shrine maidens?
Well.
It’s better to have more candidates for the next shrine maiden
Edie said.
However, if that’s the case, why is Kiyomi-san not living in the Takakura shrine?
Ruriko asks.
That’s because the Takakura shrine doesn’t want the Yakuza to know about the Yomi power. If they find that out, they’d want to use it No, the Yakuza knew it long ago. Yomiko-san’s using her Yomi power daily
Nei said. Misuzu disagrees.
Err, Ah, I see!
Nei thinks.
I understand it for now.
The reason why Kiyomi-san didn’t stay in Takakura shrine because;
Tsukiko’s mother is ill.
Usually, once the heart of the shrine maiden breaks from the arbitration ritual, the next one is switched in.
Kiyomi-san is the Yomi shrine maiden, so the Yakuza didn’t do anything with her, however.
However, that little sister had sex with the priest and gave birth to a child to connect the shrine maiden blood.
She can’t bear that.
She can’t live together with the elder sister.
That’s good, Ya-chan. Let’s keep listing up the mysteries as we find them. Either way, what we have now is just guesswork, and we have no choice but to check on them one by one
I said.
Anyway, Tsukiko wants to become a shrine maiden by all means because she thinks she has to do the arbitration ritual Yes, Yomiko-sama, a Yomi shrine maiden cannot perform the arbitration ritual
Yomiko can’t read people’s mind through sex.
Luna-sama is still too young
?
Could it be that Tsukiko thinks that an arbitration ritual will happen soon?
I asked. Tsukiko;
Kuromori-sama, what do you think is happening now?
Now?
Unryu Kaizan Mori family’s 7th Generation Patriarch, Satake Nobuo’s faction wants to kill us and Kansai Raijin Oodori family’s patriarch, Oodori Hiroyoshi intends to take us, the two are in conflict Satake is the boss of the group that took over Takakura shrine.
Oodori is the boss of Andou’s group who’s trying to kills the Takakura sisters by taking advantage of the opportunity.
Oodori himself has experienced the arbitration ritual and once had his heart read by a shrine maiden. He wants to eliminate the shrine maidens who hold such great power.
The two Yakuza groups are chasing after the Takakura sisters while fighting.
To be exact, Kouzuki SS joins into a three-way battle.
Don’t you think that it’s necessary to end this conflict via arbitration ritual with the Takakura shrine maiden?
Tsukiko?
No, but if I recall, Oodori is
He’s possibly Tsukiko’s father.
That’s the mission imposed on the Takakura shrine maidens so it must be fulfilled
Tsukiko said.
All of this means that I must work as the shrine maiden
Tsukiko and Luna are the two remaining candidates for the Tsuki shrine maiden.
Luna’s too young that she can’t possibly accompany two Yakuza bosses.
In that case.
