The cherry blossoms fall in the thin evening mist, and some raindrops are vaguely floating in the sky, which makes the air contaminated with the freshness of the soil. This is a wide and quaint courtyard with a precipitated smell of ancient history.

Mikoto knelt on the wooden floor covered with futons. Although she was not very suitable for this position, she could only follow the local customs in such occasions. After all, this is the zong house of the Emperor's Gate. At this time, sitting opposite Mikoto, she was a gray-haired old woman who made tea with a brush. Although she was wearing heavy makeup, she did not make people feel vulgar, but was as powerful as a superior.

This old woman is the head of the previous generation of the Emperor's sect, namely the grandmother of Emperor Subaru and Huang Beidu. Now the royal family is actually in power. It is not that she has retired and refuses to delegate power to the head of this generation, but that Emperor Subaru is really not qualified to support the entire royal family. And it is quite difficult for a young man with the idea of ​​"the biggest dream is an animal breeder" and "as long as he finds a suitable person, he will directly transfer the position of the head."

"Please!" After the matcha steps were completed, the old woman handed over the tea bowl filled with green liquid.

"Thank you, thank you." Mikoto took the tea bowl awkwardly, after all, she had no idea about the tea ceremony. Speaking of the tea ceremony, both the host and the guest must act according to fixed rules and steps in regular occasions. The old woman's every move is obviously the most standard, but even if the court etiquette is used as the standard, it is impeccable. However, when placed in front of Mikoto, it is obviously a guitar to play the guitar against a cow.

Holding the tea bowl, Mikoto didn't even know how to get down. She carefully glanced at the old woman. The other party's serious expression made her extremely stressed. She was able to enter the house of the Royal Sect and the old woman used a regular tea ceremony to invite a bowl of tea. Such an honor was obviously rare. However, because of this, Mikoto felt even more distressed under such circumstances.

Then the old woman spoke. Mikoto thought it was a reprimand - at least it should be a reproach, but in fact, what came into her ear was a rather peaceful and even friendly voice.

"Don't worry, tea ceremony is a skill that makes people enjoy. Just try whatever you like. If you are troubled by the guests, just ignore the final result."

It was indeed unexpected. The traditional old lady who looked quite majestic and stressed, unexpectedly said such unethical words. However, it is undeniable that Mikoto quickly felt relieved. The other party seemed not the kind of person he imagined.

Holding the tea bowl, I raised my head and took a sip. It was different from the taste of the Biluochun that I had often drunk in the past. The special taste that Mikoto had never tried flowed in smoothly from her throat. What was left on her taste buds was a slight bitterness that made people feel spiritually, and then a scattered aftertaste. This was obviously a very advanced tea with perfect technology. Even Mikoto himself felt that it was a waste to drink such a treasure that he didn't understand tea at all.

"Although I don't know much, it tastes really good."

"This is enough. The best result is to satisfy the guests." The old woman said and smiled slightly. Mikoto never thought that a smile could make people feel so special. It seemed that she suddenly changed from a serious "Laofu" to a kind old lady. "Then let's talk about work next. I hope you don't mind the old woman. I'm too abrupt."

"No, no!" I received a message from Ultimate Subaru, saying that the Emperor's family intends to let him pass the mansion, but he did not expect that the person who received him would be the actual ruler of the Emperor's sect. "My name is Misaka Mikoto, a magician affiliated with the London Clock Tower in the United Kingdom!"

"I have heard Subaru say these things. I can feel the power from you. Although it is not something I can understand, it is indeed very powerful, so I believe what you said. What I want to ask is, what's going on with my grandson when you came to Tokyo to seal the demons?"

"In fact, it is a Kuro card, a magical creature. It is not impossible to understand it as a Shikigami by Yin-Yang Technique, but its owner passed away decades ago."

"That's how it is."

Seeing the old woman's expression of relief, Mikoto knew that she had misunderstood and blamed her for the inappropriate metaphor. After all, in their Onmyoji's eyes, Shikigami is just an assistant to Onmyoji. She can only do some simple work in normal times, let alone a Shikigami whose master no longer exists. It is really impossible to imagine how threatening such an existence can be.

"It's not what you think, Lord Huang, in our world of magic, there are only five magics in this world, involving the original rules of time, space, matter, and the law of cause and effect. The only five people who can use the five great magics are the five magic envoys at the highest end of the entire clock tower in the magic envoy. And the past master of the 'Shiji' was the third magic envoy of the previous one."

This statement made the former leader serious, "Is magic so terrible? "

When it comes to the nature of the rules, the old woman can certainly understand how terrifying it is. "So, what abilities does that Shikigami... have that Kulo card?"

"That card is called 'No Card', which can erase any substance and turn it into nothingness..."

A spring thunder sounded in the sky, and the drizzle became even heavier, becoming a vague rain curtain. The door of the room was opened, and he bowed his body and walked into Huang Maru.

"grandmother."

"You are here, Subaru, I have a job to hand over to you." The old woman glanced at Mikoto, and the next thing was the royal topic, but just as Mikoto felt whether she should avoid it, the old woman spoke, "Mikoto, listen too."

"This mission was direct commission from the Metropolitan Police Department. Yesterday, something strange happened to the Toshima Park Amusement Park in Tokyo's Neima District."

"Strange thing?"

"Several facilities in the amusement park disappeared inexplicably, the rails of the roller coaster and the carriage of the Ferris wheel... However, because it happened at night, there were no reports of casualties. Although the amusement park called the police in time at that time, the losses were also huge and some social impacts were caused. The case was directly under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department. The Director of the Police Department came to me just now and entrusted the matter to our Emperor."

"But is it necessary for us to take over this kind of destruction of public property?" Huang Subaru asked strangely. After all, the Emperor's Sect is just the Onmyoji clan. Although it has the responsibility to protect Tokyo, this type of criminal case is obviously under the jurisdiction of the police, and there is no reason to be jurisdiction.

Mikoto, who was standing beside her, showed a surprised look at the moment, the amusement park and the disappearing facilities, which made her remind her of something. Mikoto's expression also made the old woman see it, and she smiled with clarity, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Eh... can you ask, how those facilities were damaged?"

"The cuts are very neat, neither wood nor solid steel nor any traces of high temperature welding, as if they suddenly disappeared from this world."

Having said that, how could Mikoto not understand the situation at this time: "Sir, this should be the 'uncard' I am looking for!"

I should have thought that even if my 'electromagnetic wave' detection range is very strong, how could it be stronger than the local local snake's information? I should have visited the Emperor's Sect long ago, otherwise I would not know when I would find clues in the dark.

"It's true. Subaru, follow Mikoto over there. This mission may be very difficult."

"That's so thankful!" Mikoto was also quite surprised. Although she had thought about tying Emperor Subaru to her chariot before, she learned that the other party was the head of the Emperor's Sect, and such an identity made it difficult for her to invite her, but she did not expect that the previous leader of the Emperor's Sect would personally give an order. Mikoto knew that Emperor Subaru would never disobey her grandmother with the temper of Emperor Subaru.

The old woman shook her head for Mikoto's thanks, "This is the commission accepted by our emperor, and the compensation for the advance payment of the police chief has also been accepted."

"But even so..." Mikoto knew that her hope of successfully sealing the "uncarded" might fall on the Emperor's Sect. It is of course important to establish a good relationship. However, with the status of the Emperor's Sect, most people would look down on her things even if Mikoto wanted to establish a good relationship.

"By the way, there is this!" Mikoto thought for a while and took out a bottle of potion from her storage space. It was a bottle of potion filled with crystal clear liquid like amber. As long as you look at it, you can feel extraordinary.

In fact, this is the most advanced potion that Mikoto has been practicing alchemy since she was practicing. After a few attempts, she only had this bottle of finished products, which wasted a lot of precious raw materials. The reason for such low yield is that this bottle of potion is the only two in the records of Mikoto's handwriting inherited from Akara and the "Full Rejuvenation Potion" that are both the heavenly level potion, called the "Large Fuling Potion".

"My mission to come to Tokyo from London is to seal the 'uncarded'. This is my own responsibility. I am naturally grateful for the Emperor's Sect being willing to help. As you can see, I am a magician and an alchemist. This bottle of potion can be regarded as a brief expression of gratitude. It can eliminate all negative states, including curses."

The old woman who originally wanted to refuse was stunned after hearing Mikoto's explanation, "You mean... it can eliminate the curse? Any form of curse?"

"It should be so. The results of alchemy are generally conceptual and have an effect on any curse." Therefore, they are listed in the Heavenly Level, as well as the "full rejuvenation potion" that can revive the dead!

"Since this is the case, I'm so ashamed to be disrespectful..."

She really didn't have the ability to refuse. On the afternoon when the cherry blossoms were falling seven years ago, she took her beloved grandson out, and took a few steps ahead because of some important matters. When she turned around, she found that there was a mark on her grandson's hand, a mark that would never change and would not appear. Looking back, if she had known this, even if the sky had collapsed, she would have stayed by her grandson's side, but there was no such thing as this world.

Her grandson, Huang Subaruru, appeared in the hands of the curse of Sakurazuka, which was the mark of the prey set by the terrible killer group Sakurazukazuka. Even with the old man's spiritual power, she could not eliminate it. For seven years, she had been following the news of Sakurazukazuka, just to protect her grandson from the other party, but got nothing. Now that she heard that the curse could be eliminated, this was of course something she could not refuse.

Mikoto did not expect that her act of pulling closer to her relationship may bring her a terrible existence that she could not afford to offend her.
