On Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms fluttered down to the ground, leaving the entire ground pink. The dazzling sunlight gave the cherry blossoms a gentle golden hue, and the nearby Sengen Shrine was even more magnificent.
The quiet path is covered with cherry blossoms. The sunlight shines on the bluestone slabs, like a horse walking alone. The cherry blossoms fall like snow.
A girl in a loose shrine maiden's costume sat under a double-flowered cherry tree in full bloom. Her hair had a faint luster like black jade, and the skin on her neck was as delicate as fine porcelain.
A breeze blew, and the petals fluttered down lightly, as crystal clear as snow, and broke into pieces. The girl prayed devoutly and blessed everything.
Sengen Shrine is one of the thousands of shrines in Japan. The deity enshrined there is not a well-known one. If it were not built on Mount Fuji, it would probably not be well-known.
There are not many tourists today. The Self-Defense Forces urgently evacuated all tourists two hours ago. Originally, the Self-Defense Forces planned to take away the priests and shrine maidens of Sengen Shrine. However, as a shrine maiden of Sengen Shrine, the girl is absolutely not allowed to leave the shrine without the order of the priest.
The witch didn't know what had happened, but she knew it must be something serious: otherwise, how could the Self-Defense Forces be dispatched?
She is an orphan who was adopted by a priest of Sengen Shrine when she was young. She grew up in the shrine and she didn't know where else she could go except the shrine.
"well."
The girl sighed and could only hope that this incident had little to do with Sengen Shrine.
Cherry blossoms fell to the ground in a riot of color, just like snow, dancing all over the sky. The girl felt the cherry blossoms dancing on Mount Fuji, raised her hand to pick up a cherry blossom, sniffed it, and an intoxicated look appeared on her face.
For young girls, cherry blossoms can be said to be the most beautiful flowers in the world.
At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly. The girl was stunned for a moment, stood up from her kneeling position, and looked towards the east, feeling a little at a loss.
The girl could clearly feel that the feeling that made the earth tremble came from the east, from the direction of Sakura City.
What’s going on? Is there an earthquake in Sakura City?
The girl became a little uneasy. She trotted towards the Asama Shrine, as if she wanted to report the situation to the priests: although she felt that the priests might have already known about it.
Earthquakes in Japan are common, but earthquakes in Sakura City are rare.
The tremor was so obvious and continued to spread towards Mount Fuji.
There was a strong wind on Mount Fuji. The girl was blinded by the wind and sand before she could run two steps. She could only hide behind a huge cherry tree and hold on to the bark of the cherry tree tightly in order to survive.
The girl was in great pain and could only pray silently in her heart to the gods enshrined in the Sengen Shrine, her only belief, and the beautiful cherry blossom goddess "Konohanasakuyahime".
It was not known whether it was the appearance of Konohanakayahime or for some other reason, but the strong wind gradually died down and the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the girl suddenly found herself surrounded by shadows, and it seemed that something huge appeared near her.
"Um?"
The girl bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, as if she felt something was wrong. After a moan, she slowly raised her head, but the next moment she felt extremely frightened!
A snake!
A nine-headed snake that reaches into the sky!
The original color in the girl's beautiful eyes completely disappeared, and all that was left was fear, endless fear!
"Goddess Konohanakayahime, what...what kind of monster is this?!"
The girl was panicked and couldn't help but scream. Her thin body was shaking violently, and the fear she felt was hard to conceal.
"Mojiu, run!"
In front of the ancient and Japanese-style Asama Shrine, an old priest anxiously called out to a girl named "Hashimoto Maoku" from a distance.
Hashimoto Maojiu was already intimidated by the towering nine-headed beast, and the nine-headed beast seemed to have noticed this "little guy" and began to take action.
When Hashimoto Maoku was noticed by this ancient giant beast, her whole body was trembling. She could only clasp her hands together tightly and pray to the goddess Konohanakayahime in her heart, trying to be saved.
"roar!"
A roar like the destruction of heaven and earth roared out from the mouth of the nine-headed monster, and the entire Mount Fuji shook. The priests in the distant Sengen Shrine scattered, and only an old priest looked in the direction of Hashimoto Maoji and moved with difficulty.
The huge body of the nine-headed monster moved towards Hashimoto Mahiro, accompanied by a landslide and earth-shattering sound, which made Hashimoto Mahiro frightened.
"Mojiu, run! Don't just stand there like an idiot!"
The old priest's anxious voice floated from a distance. At this moment, Hashimoto Mao finally came to his senses and ran towards the old priest in panic!
"Mojiu, are you okay?"
The old priest grabbed Hashimoto Matsukuni and without saying anything, he pulled Hashimoto Matsukuni up and started to run away: For the people on Mount Fuji, running away is what they are best at.
After all, Mount Fuji is an active volcano that may erupt at any time. As a priest who has lived here for decades, he is quite good at escaping.
Hydra stared at the humans who were fleeing like ants below, without any emotional fluctuations, but looked towards the direction of the crater of Mount Fuji with a burning gaze.
"roar!"
Hydra used all his strength and roared like thunder. The sound was so huge that it blew up the eaves of the surrounding Sengen Shrine and pressed down heavily on the surrounding cherry blossoms. In an instant, the trees fell and the cherry blossoms fluttered!
"Bang!"
The huge sound waves blew everything away. The buildings of the Sengen Shrine, which had been renovated several times and lasted for hundreds of years, had become ruins. Hashimoto Maoku and the old priest were blocked in it, unable to move forward or backward!
Hashimoto Mao's eyes were filled with fear as she watched the nine-headed monster crushing towards her...If she didn't find a way to dodge, both she and the old priest would be crushed into pieces!
The old priest began to frantically clear the obstacles, and Hashimoto Maoku also wanted to escape with the old priest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the earth's crust shaking became louder and louder, and the huge shadow was getting closer and closer. Hashimoto Mao fell into deep despair and self-blame.
If it weren't for me, the High Priest wouldn't be implicated, right?
With her last hope, Hashimoto Moku clasped her hands tightly together and prayed for help from the gods.
After praying, she could only close her eyes in despair and wait for death to come.
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise was heard!
The experienced old priest seemed to realize something and his expression changed drastically.
Mount Fuji, an active volcano, erupted!
