The road leading to the Gate of Underworld is not easy to walk. Not only is the door sealed, but there are many mechanisms in the middle. It is almost impossible for girls to walk in directly without disabling these mechanisms.

.

But for Shizuku...

"boom!!!"

The heavy wooden door spun and flew out as if hit by a truck, hitting the wall next to it. Then Shizuku strode forward with a big sword, and behind her, Hinasaki Crimson and Amakura Mio

Followed with probing eyes.

"Hinsaki... Miss, is this the right thing for us to do?"

Amakura Mio looked at the mess in front of her, and she was obviously a little uneasy. After all, she was only a junior high school student. She had never seen such a hard-core "breaking in", even if this was an ancient village that had long been abandoned. Looking at the scene in front of her,

The girl was running rampant like a wild boar, but it still scared her a lot.

"Don't worry, Sister Shizuku often does this, I'm used to it."

Compared to Amakura Mio, who was a little uneasy, Hinasaki Crimson seemed very calm. After all, she was a high school student, several years older than Amakura Mio, and she also had the experience of Himuro Residence. For Hinasaki Crimson

In other words, it would be better to be like Shizuku demolishing and decorating the house. At least the sound is loud and it sounds lively. Otherwise, walking in such a dead place would be enough to break one's spirit.

"By the way, Sister Shizuku, I have a question."

Now that the backbone is here, Hinasaki Crimson is no longer so nervous, so she also wants to answer questions.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"That...the ritual I saw was asking the elder sister to kill the younger sister...but..."

Saying this, Hinasaki glanced crimson at Mio Amakura next to her.

"But why is Amakura Cocoon possessed by Saju? If she wants to complete the ritual, she should possess sister Mio."

This is a doubt in Hinasaki's heart, because she knows that her maternal great-grandmother Yae is the elder sister and Saege is the younger sister. So according to this rule, Saege should be possessed by Amakura Mio.

Then let Tiancang Yu kill himself.

But Sasashige is possessed by Yuu Amakura, who is her sister... Could it be that she made a mistake with the wrong person?

"Oh, that's not surprising."

However, Shizuku didn't take it seriously and answered casually.

"Because the customs on both sides are different."

"Different customs?"

"Yes, according to modern people's habits, the one born first is the older sister, and the one born later is the younger sister. But according to the ancient people's habits, they believe that the one born first is the younger sister, and the one born later is the older sister."

"……………Why?"

Hearing this, Hinasaki Crimson and Amakura Mio were stunned.

"Why?"

To be honest, strictly speaking, modern people's habits are more in line with their cognition, but ancient customs make them a little confused. Why was the younger sister born first in ancient times?

"They think that those born first are weaker and less powerful, so they come out in a hurry. Those born later are healthier, so they are more stable, less impatient, and stronger. Therefore, according to ancient customs,

The weaker one born first is naturally the younger sister, and the stronger one born later is the older sister.

"Hey...so that's it."

Hearing this, Hinasaki Crimson just sighed casually. Although she and Hinasaki Mafuyu are siblings, they were not born together, so they just took it as a matter of knowledge.

On the contrary, Amakura Mio's expression was a little complicated, because she remembered that her sister had been following her since she was a child... To be honest, it was more like a sister chasing her sister, rather than a sister chasing her sister.

.

So in ancient times, your sister was actually your sister?

This seems pretty cute?

While talking, the three of them continued walking down.

The gate of the underworld in Minakami Village is different from that of Himuro Residence: there is a tunnel in the house, all the way to the underground. When the ceremony is held, the worshipers line up and walk down the tunnel until they reach the underworld.

In front of the gate, a ceremony was held. In comparison, the sacrifices at Himuro Residence were more humane. Although there were sacrifices, strictly speaking, only the "Mekakushi Oni" who were used to select the "Rope Miko" were sacrificed.

There are only two people, the "Rope Miko" who can be torn apart by a car.

However, the sacrificial sacrifices in Minakami Village have a wider range of sacrifices. Not only one of the twins who are the subject of the sacrifice must die, but even the priests in charge of the ceremony are not much better. Unlike the "Gate of the Underworld" in Himuro Residence, the underworld in Minokami Village

The gate is a large square pit, so there is no way to install a stone gate like Himuro Residence. At the end of the ceremony, the priests need to throw the body of one of the dead twins into the pit to seal the Gate of Underworld.

.

However, they cannot stare at the Gate of Underworld. Once they gaze inside the Gate of Underworld, everything will be taken away from them. Therefore, those in charge of the sacrifices sewed their eyes and wore headscarves in order to avoid

They saw the existence hidden in the Gate of Hell.

At the same time, the three of them also walked out of the tunnel and arrived in front of the Gate of Underworld at the bottom.

Passing through the torii gate, you can see dozens of priests wearing turbans, holding tin staffs, and black robes around the Gate of the Underworld, chanting incantations in a low voice while holding the tin staff and tapping the ground hard.

.And in the middle of them, Tiancang Yu was facing away from everyone, standing in front of a rectangular black pit.

At the same time, a voice sounded in everyone's ears, with a helpless whisper and sadness.

"Why did you abandon me at that time? We clearly agreed that we would always be together...until the end, I have been waiting for you..."

Following this sound, Tiancang Cocoon was seen slowly walking towards the pothole in front of her.

"elder sister!!!"

Seeing this scene, Amakura Mio screamed and wanted to rush over to catch her sister. At the same time, Shizuku also raised Frostmourne and flicked it with her finger.

"Ding-!!!"

Soon, a ray of white light emerged from the sword, then flew forward, and then transformed into a middle-aged woman wearing a kimono—that was Munakata Yae in the Himuro Residence... or Kurosawa Yae's soul.

At this moment, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

The priests who were surrounding him all disappeared, and Amakura Yu, who was standing in front of the Gate of Underworld, turned into a short-haired girl wearing a white kimono.

"I'm sorry...Sazhong...I'm sorry."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Kurosawa Yae slowly walked towards her, and her figure gradually changed as she moved forward. Soon, the middle-aged woman in Himuro Residence who was already a mother turned into a

She has almost the same appearance as the kimono girl in front of her. She has short black hair and is wearing a white kimono. The ribbon hanging from the side is emitting bright red light.

"Sazhong... I'm sorry... I'm back..."

Hearing Kurosawa Yae's whisper, the kimono girl turned around and stared at her.

"Sure enough... you are back..."

"Really sorry………"

Looking at his sister in front of him, Kurosawa Yae whispered what he had always wanted to say.

"I clearly made an appointment to be with you all the time...at that time..."

"I know, I know..."

The kimono girl shook her head and looked at Kurosawa Yae, who also stared at her. Hinasaki Crimson and Amakura Mio were watching this scene from the side, not knowing what to say. Especially Hinasaki Crimson.

, my mood at this moment can be said to be very complicated.

After all, what I witnessed was the grudges and hatreds of my great-grandmother’s generation…

Then, the two girls held hands and turned their heads. Kurosawa Yae looked at everyone and nodded.

"thank you all………"

As he spoke, Yae looked at his sister.

"Now I can fulfill my promise."

Accompanied by the sound of talking, the sisters turned around again, faced the Gate of Hell in front of them, and held each other's hands.

"We made an appointment, we will always be together."

Then, I saw two girls in white kimonos holding hands tightly and falling towards the bottomless Underworld Gate in front of them.

"elder sister!!"

Seeing this, Amakura Mio suddenly realized that Sasaki was still attached to her sister!

So she hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Amakura Yu, and pulled her back. At the same time, Kurosawa Saashige's soul also separated from Amakura Yu's body, and merged with her sister Kurosawa Yae

Together we fell into the bottomless abyss of darkness.

"careful!"

Seeing Amakura Mio rushing out, Hinasaki Crimson hurried forward, grabbed the two girls, and pulled them back.

However, at this moment, the scenery in front of her suddenly changed again.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……………"

Forest, bright sunshine, hills, streams.
