Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: The Two Shrines

Miyauchi Hikage himself hadn't even noticed that he had already been writing his diary for a whole month.

But for the girls who possessed a diary, quite a few of them had been keeping track of this matter.

After all, after obtaining the diary and reading the entries on it for a continuous week, their diary permissions had already been upgraded to level 2, providing them with many useful functions.

Like the diary's messaging function, and the ability for the diary to change its appearance to something more convenient.

And for most of the girls, although they had never used it, it didn't affect their high evaluation of the crisis warning function.

They also wanted to know when they would be able to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 permissions.

And what kind of effects would level 3 permissions bring them?

Anyway, just the crisis warning alone was an ability that could save their lives at a critical moment.

Besides Shinomiya Kaguya, this conglomerate's young mistress who had ample resources to test the crisis warning function, there was also Yotsuya Miko in their chat group, who was in close contact with different vengeful spirits all day. This function was almost perfectly tailored for her.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yotsuya Miko had now learned to use the diary to disguise herself. But just as the mysterious person had reminded her in one of the diary entries.

Many vengeful spirits would disguise themselves as ordinary people. At first glance, they might seem no different from normal people, but as long as they confirmed that someone was looking at them, they would directly reveal their true form and launch an attack on those who could see them.

Under these circumstances, even though Yotsuya Miko was already very careful, every three or four days, Reading Points would still be deducted to provide her with a crisis warning—

After more than half a month of testing, Yotsuya Miko had already connected the deduction of Reading Points and the method of the reminders with what the Godly Mother of Shitamachi had told them about the level classification of cursed spirits and vengeful spirits, and had sorted out a relatively complete crisis warning mechanism for the girls in the chat group.

According to the Godly Mother, third and fourth-grade vengeful spirits were low-level. Basically, even if ordinary people saw them, there was a high probability of surviving from their hands. For those with strong life energy, they might even be able to directly disperse those vengeful spirits.

Of course, these vengeful spirits could usually also sense the threat from exorcists, Jujutsu Sorcerers, and those with special physiques, so their targets of attack were basically those ordinary people.

When encountering vengeful spirits of this level, Yotsuya Miko would receive several crisis warnings almost every day, and these warnings would not consume Reading Points. It should be that the diary in her hand believed that as long as she did not further provoke these vengeful spirits, no danger would occur.

And the second grade, that is, the mid-level vengeful spirit.

A vengeful spirit of this level, even just by standing next to an ordinary person, could already cause some mental impact.

Even though they still had to abide by the rule of "only attacking humans after being noticed," constantly putting mental pressure on humans, forcing them to commit suicide or have a mental breakdown—this kind of thing was basically done by mid-level vengeful spirits.

The Godly Mother of Shitamachi, in her youth, had also had to spend a lot of effort to deal with these mid-level vengeful spirits.

When encountering a vengeful spirit of this level, the diary would not only issue continuous warnings but would also automatically deduct Reading Points at critical moments to provide Yotsuya Miko with a solution to the danger.

As for the higher-level vengeful spirits, Shinomiya Miko had only triggered it once so far, and had not even seen the other party's appearance in person.

At that time, she was out playing with her friend Yurikawa Hana on the weekend. The other party had been followed by at least a second-grade vengeful spirit on her way over.

After that, because that vengeful spirit had not been interested in her at all and could not trigger the diary's warning mechanism, Yotsuya Miko could only find a way to take her to a nearby shrine to pray, to see if she could use the power of the shrine to drive away this vengeful spirit.

The result was that when she used her mobile phone to navigate to the direction of a nearby mountain shrine, before she could even start to act, she had received a crisis warning from the diary, reminding her that she absolutely could not follow the phone's navigation to that shrine, and had even recommended another, also relatively remote shrine for her on the diary, telling her to just go there to worship.

Upon seeing that the diary's crisis warning was actually for a shrine she had randomly navigated to, Yotsuya Miko at that time almost threw the phone in her hand away.

Especially when she exited the navigation program and logged in again, only to be unable to find the address information of that shrine named "Sankoku Shrine" that she had navigated to before, Yotsuya Miko directly broke out in a cold sweat.

And then she quickly pulled Yurikawa Hana along for an hour's train ride to that somewhat remote, but not secluded, small shrine that the diary had reminded her of to worship.

Although there was no one in the shrine at that time, believe it or not, after the two of them walked into the shrine, the vengeful spirit that had been following Yurikawa Hana all the way had run away on its own, as if it didn't dare to enter the shrine at all.

For this, Yotsuya Miko naturally told her story that night and also mentioned in the group both that threatening shrine that was suspected of having a high-level vengeful spirit and could even directly interfere with her mobile phone's signal, and the other suburban shrine that was highly recommended by the diary and which she had personally tested to be effective.

This also led to the fact that the number of visitors to that originally not-so-conspicuous small shrine had recently increased quite a bit. It was just that the manager of that shrine seemed to be a person who disliked trouble.

When encountering normal worshipers, she didn't even come out to see them.

Even when Kaguya-sama, the young mistress of a conglomerate, personally visited, the other party, at most, only for the sake of money, gave her a simple fortune-telling.

And then Kaguya-sama, along with the Hayasaka Ai and several bodyguards she had brought with her, was directly kicked out of that shrine.

According to her, it was "people who are already protected by other big shots shouldn't come to my small shrine for no reason, I can't afford to entertain you."

It's unknown if the "big shot" that woman was talking about was the mysterious deity behind the diary, whose situation even the mysterious person couldn't figure out.

In any case, although the owner of that shrine had kicked Kaguya-sama out, this, on the contrary, made the other girls who had the diary even more certain that she was indeed a real exorcist.

It was just a pity that according to the Godly Mother of Shitamachi, the path she walked was the purest Shinto.

Eighty percent of her skills could only be brought out when she was on her own territory.

And this kind of restriction was obviously not something the girls with diaries were willing to accept. In addition, since she had directly said not to go to her place if they had nothing to do, the number of times the girls went to that shrine had gradually decreased.

As for that more mysterious "Sankoku Shrine."

When this name was mentioned, Kaguya-sama had, for the first time, seen a look of shock and suspicion from the Godly Mother of Shitamachi.

From her reaction, it seemed that the Godly Mother had also had some dealings with this mysterious shrine in the past and that it had not left her with many pleasant experiences.
