The Connection Between the Ley Lines and Honma Meiko

Chichibu Shrine is well-known among the residents of Chichibu City, so after confirming that the caller was indeed from the official Chichibu Shrine number, the Honma couple expressed their gratitude with delight and planned to come over immediately.

Once they arrive, let them see the prayer site, and then use your Spiritual Power to create some simple illusions so they can have a comfortable nap at the shrine.

Chapter 200: The Connection Between the Ley Line and Honma Meiko

"I've encountered some issues on my end. Just explain it to me normally."

This was a message Fujimiya Miki saw on her phone as she was preparing to take Miyauchi Renka, who was getting a little sleepy, to bed after playing and frolicking with the girls in a privately booked hot spring until 9 p. m.

The following is a brief account of his current prayer ceremony at the shrine with Menma.

The text message appears to be fine.

However, this does not conform to the usual writing style of Miyauchi Hiyage Hitsakage.

In other words, there are other hidden reasons that are not suitable to be explained on a mobile phone.

Is Menma's problem more serious?

However, she was originally helping Miyauchi Hiyage cover for her this time. After receiving the notification from Miyauchi Hiyage, all she had to do was tell everyone the reason given by Miyauchi Hiyage.

"Hey, instead of going to the hot springs, Hikage took Menma to Chichibu Shrine?" After spending a day with Meiko, everyone had gotten used to calling her Menma, which sounded more affectionate.

Upon hearing that Miyauchi Hiyage and Menma had gone to the shrine, Kaede Kagayama, who had been teasing Renge, suddenly became a little anxious.

The sense of crisis that came from considering herself the "legal wife" began to surface.

Today, she already sensed that after Miyauchi Hiyage spent a few days filming videos near the high school Fujimiya Miki attended, the distance between the two of them suddenly seemed to have increased considerably.

In fact, Miyauchi Hiyage and Fujimiya Miki already had a pretty good understanding.

However, since she had always been in charge of external publicity for Asahigaoka Media, and since she had little experience at the beginning, she always needed Miyauchi Hiyage to guide her.

From the perspective of the others in Asahigaoka, including Koshigaya Suguru, she and Miyauchi Hiyage have a bit of a bickering couple vibe.

In addition, the two of them both liked Miyauchi Renka very much, which led to more conversations about taking care of Renge together. So, in the eyes of outsiders, they still had a natural feel of an old married couple.

But only Kaede Kagayama herself knew that her status as the "official wife" was due to Renge's influence.

In reality, it was Fujimiya Miki spent more time with Miyauchi Hiyage at the Asahigaoka Branch School, who was the true mastermind behind it all.

Because of Fujimiya Miki's gentle, water-like personality, she never actively competes for anything.

Only Kaede Kagayama, as his love rival, could clearly understand the other party's intentions.

However, since they are also close friends who have known each other since childhood, they still maintain a basic understanding when it comes to the topic of Miyauchi Hiyage.

That means internally, there's friendly competition where everyone relies on their own abilities, while externally, we unite against external threats.

That's why when she heard that Fujimiya Miki was feeling unwell recently, she asked Miyauchi Hiyage to take care of her.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, Fujimiya Miki, who had just filmed a video outside, seemed to have taken another step closer to Miyauchi Hiyage.

She could tolerate it if it were just Fujimiya Miki.

After all, I heard that Miyauchi Hiyage has met a few pretty girls in Tokyo.

No matter what, even if Asahigaoka is indeed a rural area, it can't just bow down to Tokyo JK so easily.

But now, Honma Meiko, a neighbor from out of town in Chichibu City, has also expressed the same sentiment.

Furthermore, Miyauchi Hiyage even took them to visit a shrine at night!

Judging from Fujimiya Miki's expression, it seems she already knew all along.

This made Kaede Kagayama feel like she had been betrayed.

Wait, did Miyauchi Hiyage send her an email?

Thinking of this, she immediately put down the drowsy Renge and started looking at her phone.

Seeing that there was indeed an email from Miyauchi Hiyage on his phone not long ago, Kaede Kagayama nodded slightly.

Although it had a sense of acting first and informing later, since both she and Fujimiya Miki had received the email, then everything was fine.

She secretly compared the emails sent by Miyauchi Hiyage.

I realized that my tone was more casual and I was able to explain more details.

In the email he sent her, Miyauchi Hiyage explained in detail that he thought Honma Meiko's health was not suitable for soaking in hot springs, and considering that everyone was soaking in hot springs, she might feel lonely if she was alone, so he accompanied her to the nearby Chichibu Shrine to pay her respects.

It turned out that he knew the priest at the shrine before, and after learning about Honma Meiko's situation, the priest offered to perform a blessing ceremony for Honma Meiko.

Right now, Miyauchi Hiyage is going to stay at the shrine and look after Honma Meiko, who is in poor health, until her parents arrive.

Looking at this detailed explanation, and glancing at Fujimiya Miki's brief three or four sentences out of the corner of my eye.

It seems that Miyauchi Hiyage is more concerned about his own feelings.

Kaede Kagayama deliberately concealed the word count of her email to prevent Monomi seeing it.

It was that slightly upturned expression on her lips that made Fujimiya Miki mutter, "That Miyauchi Hiyage is such a scumbag."

However, at the same time, Fujimiya Miki also had a faint sense of worry in his heart.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen with Miyauchi Hiyage tonight.

Achoo!

Unfortunately, the person who sneezed because someone was talking about her was not Miyauchi Hiyage, but Honma Meiko poor health.

Although it's already May, it's still a bit chilly walking on the mountain roads at night.

Now that Miyauchi Hiyage can eat popsicles and wear short sleeves even in winter, she naturally took off her coat and covered Honma Meiko with it.

Honma Meiko gave Miyauchi Hiyage a grateful look, then lowered her head slightly, looking at the newly updated diary in her hand.

The time for updating my diary tomorrow is usually not much different from usual.

As expected, it's impossible for Miyauchi Hiyage to have any connection with the You Know Who.

She spent the entire evening with Miyauchi Hiyage. If he were the You Know Who, how would she have time to update her diary?

Although Honma Meiko herself never really suspected Miyauchi Hiyage, and she wasn't particularly fixated on the You Know Who.

However, there are indeed quite a few girls in the Chat Group who are skeptical of all the names that appear in the Diary.

Although Miyauchi Hiyage was only mentioned a few times by the You Know Who.

However, because the other party is so outstanding in every aspect, this male supporting character, who has little presence in his own work, is completely outclassed by most of the other known male protagonists.

Even if we include the superhumans from the Reverse Side World, it seems that only the strongest and narcissistic Satoru Gojo can steadily surpass Miyauchi Hiyage.

So much so that a few days ago Yukino Yukinoshita suggested that they should test Miyauchi Hiyage, and this idea was agreed upon by Shiina Mashiro and Kasumigaoka Utaha, two girls who were closer to Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage.

However, with this crucial piece of evidence today, it should help clear Miyauchi Hiyage of suspicion.

Honma Meiko briefly explained in the group chat and quickly finished reading today's diary.

According to the You Know Who himself, he has been studying Aliens and monsters so much lately that he is almost obsessed, so he doesn't want to talk about anything related to the supernatural for the time being. He just plans to go home and rest for a while, and also go see the debut performances of a few bands and Idol groups to relax.

μ's, Kessoku Band, MYGO, GBC...

Fortunately, because the You Know Who recently released a large number of resources, the bands he mentioned were marked by Bocchi-chan one by one as soon as the Diary was published, indicating which work they came from and roughly where they were located.

Although the You Know Who only mentioned it briefly, as a long-awaited "action preview" from the You Know Who, it is believed that these performances will be quite lively.

Covered by a coat still warmed by Miyauchi Hiyage's body heat, Honma Meiko finished reading the diary and briefly explained her situation. Then she put away her phone and cautiously glanced at the two people in front of her.

Because of the sharing and blocking effect between the Diary and the Chat Group, neither the Omiya Shrine Maiden nor the Miyauchi Hiyage noticed her actions just now.

Miyauchi Hiyage, who had finished her diary entry the night before and scheduled its release, seemed to sense something and turned to Honma Meiko with a concerned look.

"What's wrong? Can't you walk anymore? Do you need me to carry you?"

Honma Meiko shook her head, her face slightly flushed. "It's okay, I'm fine, and I'll be there soon."

The Omiya Shrine Maiden was also keeping a close eye on what was happening behind her.

She could sense that as Honma Meiko entered the mountain, the Ley Line in the mountain range seemed to become slightly more active than before.

Some uncertain thoughts were also vaguely arising in her mind.

However, they would have to get to the cabin to confirm.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally saw an old wooden house by the side of the mountain road.

Five years after that unpleasant disbandment, this is the first time in Honma Meiko has returned to her childhood secret base.

Because her memories had just been awakened by the Omiya Shrine Maiden, when she stepped into this secret base again, she felt as if she had been here not long ago.

But in reality, the layer of dust piled up on the ground of the secret base also indicated that no one had been here for some time.

After all, most of them are already in their second year of high school, except for her, who repeated a year due to academic issues and is still in her first year.

As everyone strives to pursue their own future, this secret base, existing in the past, and with its last memories not being pleasant, is naturally forgotten.

Honma Meiko entered the wooden house filled with nostalgic emotions, but soon came out coughing because of the dust inside.

"Please wait outside for a moment while I clean the dust inside." The reliable Omiya Shrine Maiden simply used a spell to clean the dust from inside the wooden hut.

Because this was deliberately done for Honma Meiko to see, to leave an impression on her, the Omiya Shrine Maiden's movements were very graceful, and the dust-removing effect was amazing.

Almost immediately, a soft green light swept across the wooden house, and the area touched by the green light became clean and tidy.

Finally, a small white orb of light floated from the Omiya Shrine Maiden's hand to the top of the wooden house, illuminating the entire house like a light bulb.

In less than half a minute, Honma Meiko felt as if she were seeing such a clean and refreshing secret base for the first time.

Is this the power that Spirit Medium possesses?

No amount of written description in the diary can compare to the shock I felt upon seeing it in person.

The Omiya Shrine Maiden was also very satisfied with Honma Meiko's reaction.

However, she also remembered her main task and immediately began searching the secret base.

Based on Honma Meiko's memory, she quickly found several places where words were carved.

The words "Super Peace Busters," engraved on the beam, clearly show traces of Spiritual Power flowing through them.

At this moment, Miyauchi Hiyage also activated his Eyes of Destiny.

Sure enough, the thread connecting Honma Meiko to her body extended from this wooden house.

Even after Honma Meiko entered the cabin, what was now not even a Honma Meiko could be considered a "cocoon" that completely enveloped Honma Meiko.

Similarly, the speed at which that power was drawing life force from Honma Meiko also increased considerably.

What Miyauchi Hiyage found somewhat unbelievable was that even though this "cocoon" was draining Honma Meiko's life force at an alarming rate, the Eyes of Destiny still couldn't detect any ominous or dangerous aura from Honma Meiko.

It was as if this force's act of devouring Honma Meiko's life force was helping her!

"So that's how it is..." Clearly, as a special-grade Omiya Shrine Maiden, she also saw through Honma Meiko's current situation.

She glanced at Honma Meiko, who seemed completely unaffected, a hint of envy even appearing in her eyes. "I never imagined that such an incredible thing would actually happen after the Mystery Revival..."

She reached out and brushed her hand over Honma Meiko's body.

Immediately, the strange "cocoon" stopped "absorbing" from Honma Meiko.

Then, the Omiya Shrine Maiden gestured for the bewildered Honma Meiko to sit down.

What I'm about to say might scare you, so please try to calm yourself down.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Honma Meiko couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Yes, is my health problem very serious?"

She glanced at Miyauchi Hiyage subconsciously, as if she wanted the boy who had saved her life to stand closer, to give her some courage to face her fate.

Miyauchi Hiyage gave Honma Meiko a reassuring look.

"The Omiya Shrine Maiden hasn't said what it is yet, but perhaps it's some really good news for you?"

As he said this, he walked behind Honma Meiko.

Feeling a little more at ease, Honma Meiko turned to look at the Omiya Shrine Maiden.

"I'm ready, please just say it."

The Omiya Shrine Maiden nodded.

"This wooden house is not built in the core of the Ley Line, but it is located between the Ley Line in this area and the main ley line located below Chichibu Shrine. It can be regarded as a relatively key node."

"Perhaps it's a coincidence, or perhaps it's fate. In the words of us Spirit Medium have been dealing with Ley Line for many years, the Ley Line here have chosen you, who already had little time left and was exceptionally talented."
