Episode 283

When the Otorii first started up a thousand years ago, it appeared that a young man appeared.

He was dressed in the same costume as Tokitaka, so he is in a garment. I don't know if he is a noble or a samurai, but I know she was a high-ranking person.

"He was only called himself" Ason. "At first, he was struggling because he couldn't speak the language well, but he seemed to be able to quickly learn this word."

Even if I convert the sound of "Ason" into kanji in my brain dictionary, only about "Asamu" comes out.

Asaomi is a word that expresses his status, but as the times go down, more and more people claim himself, so it is not clear who he is.

In the first place, a young man would have been summoned here before leaving his work in Japan during the Heian period.

There would have been no time to leave a name in history.

Yes, this torii gate was not a “reincarnation” that calls for the souls of the dead, but a “transfer” gate that allows summoning living individuals as they are.

Since I'm a reincarnation, I don't understand the relationship with this torii.

Tokitaka continues.

"Asson appeared very tired when he emerged from the Great Torii in the deities, but saw the disastrousness of the land and took immediate action in spite of the lack of language."

Apparently, Ason was a charismatic leader. He succeeded in regaining command as a group, inspiring the people of another world, which had been sunk into despair.

And Ason used strange techniques to prevent desertification.

Tokitaka admire with disappointment.

"The regular arrangement of sacred buildings has given the whole city its magic. This was a new idea."

Old Dynasty sorcerers seem to be able to come up with magic theory in urban planning, but do simple ideas overlook it?

In any case, the city plan proposed by Ason has allowed the city to weave one magical crest and fight the mysterious desertification.

"Ason himself described the concept as 'Yin-Yang', but it was the magicians on this side who made the magic crest to match that of the world."

Ason said that using humans seemed remarkably skillful with little confusion. This protected the city by magic and escaped desertification.

This area, where the threat of desertification has left, is named Ason by "Wa."

He said that after a new legislation and social infrastructure, he suddenly disappeared.

"Originally ... have you returned to God?"

"I don't know. He always said he wanted to see the world outside the desert, so he may have gone on a journey."

Unidentified until the end.

Nobody knows what happened to him.

Later, the Great Torii of the Gods continued to regularly summon translocators. Warriors dressed in unfamiliar armor, mysterious covertties in black costumes, clergy in mysterious costumes, and more.

Each time, new technologies and concepts were brought to Wa, and the country has evolved dramatically.

Many of the migrants settled in Wa, where they left offspring.

Everyone in Tamonin's appraisal seems to be descendants of the Gods. For example, the spectators seemed to be descendants of ninjas, and in the early days, they served in the sacred world, serving a rock guard named "Rokaku".

Unfortunately, I didn't know where the ninja was. When I saw Fumino, I thought it was definitely a Takeda ninja ...

"The appearance of the Gods seems to have been at regular intervals, about once every 20 years."

"What was that?"

Then Tokita sighed.

"That Torii is no longer moving."

At that exact moment, Parker, covered with soil, shouted happily.

"Hey, look underneath this! There is a crack in the rock! I can see a magical crest on the cross section, but this is awesome!

"Oh, I understand, I understand! I'll hear later."

I understand now.

I turn to Tokita.

"That huge rock is the main body of" The Torii of the Gods "and it has been broken."

"Yes, that's right. As Parker says, I don't know how to make the magic crest in natural stone, and I can't even repair it."

I don't even know.

The master wouldn't even know. It's a perfect auto part.

It has been said that it has been over 200 years since the Otorii of the Shinto god has been getting worse. It seems that the startup interval has gradually increased.

Furthermore, there were no metastases, and in the country of Wa, humans with the memory of the deities came to appear. Reincarnation.

Many reincarnated people seemed to have contributed to the development of Wa country. We are treated to the descendants as generations of God, and we know that.

However, the incarnated person has disappeared.

The impatient Tamon-in ordered a spectator who was also an astrologer to investigate.

Tokita says the result at that time.

"The results of the astrology were amazing. The incarnations were out of Wa's territory, which meant that the knowledge of God was spread to other countries."

It is the real intention of the country of Wa that we want to monopolize the reincarnation's knowledge. I understand my feelings.

"It was speculated that the new Shinto people would be in the Great Ocean, far west of the Wind Desert, northwest of Milardia or west of it."

Oh, maybe the King.

I did it, King-sama.

The spectators infiltrated Miraludia during the Unification War and sought information about the gods here and there, but apparently had no clues.

That's right. At that time, the reincarnated people were not humans but dragons, and they were also in the village of the Akane clan who lived in the mountains.

"The next launch was successful, but the gap was seventy years old, and the incarnation was still outside of Wa, in the southwestern part of Milardia or in the great tree sea west of it."

Maybe me.

I'm sorry.

Tokitaka continues.

"Taking care of the situation, Tamon-in decided a few years ago to apply a magical intervention to the Otorii activation.We prepared eight casters to keep the souls from the Gods from missing."

"It's dangerous, that's it."

Intervening in a working magic device is like a human digging into a giant machine in a factory.

Sure enough, Tokita sighed deeply.

"Yes. Fortunately, there were no deaths, but the ceremony seems to have failed completely .... and something strange happened."

"what is it?"

"There are eight casters who participated in the ceremony, each of which is a multiple of two so that they are paired. There are no doubt that there are only seven in the official record. I know all the casters, but I can only remember seven of them. ''

I think a bit and talk about the most likely possibilities.

"The ceremony failed because there are only seven people?"

"No way, it's a national business. If you're missing one, everyone will notice you when you form a circle."

In other words, eight people definitely participated.

At that time, I remember a mysterious work that I often read in my previous life.

"If so, is it a past modification?"

"What is the past modification?"

Tokita looked mysterious, so I returned with an awkward explanation.

"The eighth caster did exist, but somehow changed the history of the past, and the eighth person was" not from the beginning. " "

I don't know what happened to the eighth caster who has disappeared.

Perhaps he was sucked into the Otorii and flew away, or literally disappeared.

However, given the size of the Great Torii, it is a miracle that such a sacrifice was necessary.

I'm sorry, but I'm relieved.

However, the price was not small.

"As Parker pointed out, the boulder was broken. I couldn't move it anymore and I didn't know how to fix it. I don't see any magic in the evidence."

"Oh ... sure"

On a personal computer, you can't even feel the standby power or battery level.

This magic device is not moving.

It is said that Tamonin did not know what happened to the reincarnate who was summoned at that time.

"If you were reincarnated somewhere in this world, you would know, but since there was no response anywhere, the summoning itself would have failed."

Tokitaka muttered so, but I was thinking differently.

If this reincarnation gate interferes with the past, you can connect with that reincarnate.

Draulite is a slave swordsman who escaped Rolmund three hundred years ago. Although the soul was successfully summoned, the transfer destination was Rolmund three hundred years ago.

However, I think his modern climbing technique cannot be explained without thinking so.

Suddenly I look at Tokita and ask a question.

"What did you do?"

"No ... nothing. I was magically testing this torii."

If the current hypothesis was true, this would be a pretty dangerous thing.

You shouldn't move anymore.

I looked up at the Great Torii of God and muttered.

"In other words, this device can no longer be used."

"Yes. Unfortunately ..."

Tokita looks up at the Otorii gate in the same way and grumbles unfortunately.

"Hey Weid, it would be impossible to repair this, but why not analyze it together?-I guess you'll know something if you do it at Gomoviloa.

Parker's brain-sounding voice was loud.
