"Ah... How did the shrine end up like this? How am I supposed to face my ancestors?!" Old Man Higurashi wailed as he looked at the half-collapsed shrine before him.
"It's not that bad! At least half of it is still standing. Large-scale building collapses happened throughout Tokyo, and even the most prosperous areas like Bunkyo, Shibuya, and Shinjuku suffered devastating losses. The death toll from the disaster is still unknown." Compared to the other areas, the Higurashi Family had truly been lucky. Of course, the main reason was that she had taken the previous Kagome Higurashi away from here. Otherwise... it would have been perfectly normal for all of Tokyo to be flattened.
The power level of the [Inuyasha] world was not particularly high, but battles between the greatest great demons could easily destroy an entire city.
"That's true..."
After Yae Sakura put it that way, Old Man Higurashi suddenly felt much more balanced. Other places and people had suffered even worse than he had. Although his shrine had been damaged, it could not compare to those areas, especially places like Shinjuku and Shibuya.
If Tokyo was a city developed through the combined efforts of the entire Far East and one of the most advanced regions in all of Asia, then districts like Shinjuku and Shibuya were among Tokyo's most prosperous areas.
This disaster had caused tremendous losses throughout the Far East, especially since so many foreign companies from around the world were based there.
"How is Kagome doing?"
Having decided to wait a while before rebuilding the shrine, he thought that the government might provide subsidies because it was a disaster, perhaps even offer discounts on reconstruction costs. So he temporarily set the matter aside and instead asked about his granddaughter, Kikyo.
Kagome had truly frightened him badly
