Chapter 407 God’s Sign
Their main purpose of coming to Naruto-taisha Shrine today is to take a close look at the sacred cherry tree which, according to Granlivet, is likely to contain the "Pandora" gem.
Now that he had seen the target and there was no danger around, and occasionally tourists came to the sacred cherry tree as if to make a wish, Camus subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to observe the sacred cherry tree up close.
Vermouth tightened her grip on Camus's hand slightly to stop him from moving. When he turned his head to look at her in confusion, she signaled with her eyes that Camus should look at the woman who was leaning against a fox sculpture and reading a book attentively in front of the left side of the sacred cherry tree.
"What's wrong?" Camus asked softly.
Camu was puzzled. The woman that Vermouth was pointing at also looked like a shrine maiden. Although her clothes were slightly different from those of other shrine maidens, there didn't seem to be anything special about her. At most, she was pretty.
Vermouth barely moved her lips as she approached Camus and explained in a low voice: "That priestess is also a member of the Teyvat organization. She has an ornament that looks like the Eye of God on her."
She should be the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine, Yae Miko, who is a good friend of Minister Inazuma mentioned by Granlivet.
I didn't expect to meet Yae Kamiko, who can be regarded as the second-in-command of the Inazuma department, so soon. I don't know whether to say that they are lucky or unlucky.
"It's her!" Camus also recognized Yae Shenzi, "Why did she suddenly appear there? Has our operation been leaked?"
“Probably not. According to the intelligence, Yae Shinko occasionally appears under the sacred cherry tree to read light novels.” Vermouth shifted her gaze and observed Yae Shinko with her peripheral vision.
"Light novel?" Camus was a little surprised.
"Yes, didn't you see a publishing house called 'Yaedo' at the foot of the mountain when you came here? Miss Yae Kamiko is the editor-in-chief of that publishing house." Vermouth's low voice sounded a little weird.
When she first learned of this information, she thought the other party was using "Yaedo" to hide their identities and collect intelligence, but then she saw that Yae Shinko personally developed the "Yaedo" publishing house and even took the trouble to hold an annual novel competition, so Vermouth knew she was wrong.
It was obvious that this court lady really loved reading novels, and it was very likely that "Yaedo" was established for her hobby.
Whenever she recalled this, Vermouth couldn't help but sigh that the boss of Teyvat Organization was really broad-minded, and he could accept that the second-in-command of his intelligence department opened a publishing house for his hobby. As a boss, was he really not worried that the other party would take the opportunity to smuggle the organization's funds?
"What should we do next?" Should we go to the sacred cherry tree again? Camus asked Vermouth for advice.
“Don’t alert the enemy. Let’s not go there for now.” Vermouth turned around and saw the “divine fortune box” that the witch mentioned before. “Let’s go according to the original plan and draw the fortune first.”
"Yeah." Camus had no objection.
The two of them walked slowly towards the divine fortune box not far away.
When they arrived in front of the fortune box, Camus signaled that ladies should go first and let Vermouth next to him step forward first.
Vermouth did not refuse, stretched out her hand to hold the stick tube and began to shake it. After shaking it twice, she heard a light "click" sound, and a bamboo stick slipped out of the stick tube and fell to the ground.
Vermouth picked up the bamboo stick and handed it to the shrine maiden sitting behind the fortune box, "Please interpret the fortune."
The witch took the bamboo stick handed to her by Vermouth, and according to the mark on it, she handed the corresponding "divine fortune" that explained the fortune to Vermouth, "This is your 'divine fortune', please keep it."
Vermouth's smiling face froze when she saw the contents of the "Divine Fortune" she had just received.
Seeing Vermouth's strange reaction, Camus couldn't help but curiously move closer to look down at the signature in Vermouth's hand. He saw two big words written on it - Great Misfortune!
Camus tried his best to suppress the gloating smile that appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Vermouth's current identity is his wife. If he laughs out loud when he sees his wife draw a bad number, it would be OOC.
Camus patted his "wife" on the shoulder in a comforting manner, "It's okay, dear, don't be sad, this is not true, we will definitely have our own children."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "But what kind of fortune did you ask for? You actually drew the most unlucky one. This is too unlucky."
Vermouth's expression was stiff, and she did not answer.
She couldn't tell Camu that what she was praying about in her heart was the safety of Coolguy and Angel.
Vermouth heard that Coolguy and Angel had encountered a lot of accidents recently. Knowing that the fortune telling here was quite accurate, she wanted to ask about their fortunes. The result was - very bad luck!
