Tokyo, Joint Investigation Team Headquarters Building.
The land and population resettlement brought about by the victory in the Expansion War is a big project, but other than mythical events, economic, production... and other issues have nothing to do with the investigation team.
Everything has pros and cons in both directions.
Back then, Hiroshi Yasuda and Takuma Okita, in order to bridge the gap between the officialdom and Shinto, cut off the tentacles of the cabinet and the consortium that interfered with the Shinto incident, and separated the rights. Judging from the time, it did bring a huge help. They re-repaired the relationship with Shinto.
The relationship between the two is not mentioned when recalling the priests.
And because the investigation team cut off their chance to reach out, and also controlled basically all the power of the mythical side of the island country, the consortium had no choice but to provide a large amount of funds for the development of the investigation team.
But things are different now. Dozens of countries have been annexed in one fell swoop, bringing not only the vast tracts of land, population, elites, and resources that the islanders once most wished for...the consortiums that once served as cash cows under the investigation team are no longer
If we continue to tolerate it, it is said that the major financial groups and nobles will almost break their heads in competing with each other for the newly occupied land.
In this regard, the investigation team has sent people to discuss several times, but the consortium has used non-economic, scientific research and other excuses to prevaricate. In view of the fact that the investigation team is bound to not be able to invest too much power outside the island.
Over time, they could only turn a blind eye to the consortium's actions.
But just like no one would have thought that the heavily guarded Ise Jingu Shrine would be penetrated into the main hall twice, the investigation team would not have thought that Ise Jingu Shrine, which has gradually become autistic in the past six months, would take the initiative to contact them.

"Hahaha, greed kills people!"
Hiroshi Yasuda put down the landline phone in his hand, leaned on his chair, and laughed gaffefully.
During this period of time, the consortium island nation has been making major moves to create new provinces, and there is quite a scene of breaking out of the cage and spreading its wings.
As early as hundreds of years ago in modern times, businessmen have used history to show that when they develop into a family consortium and money can no longer bring them satisfaction, the consortium's tentacles will spread to the officialdom.
It took him a year to finally remove some of their tentacles. Now he was asked to see that the partially successful plan fell short. How could it be possible!
"A magical world that has developed for thousands of years..." Hiroshi Yasuda tilted his head with a smile on his face: "Compared to the new world, people can't control themselves more. Do you know why?"
"I'm sorry, Sir, I can't guess." The secretary shook his head: "How can the attraction of a broken, low-level alien world exceed that of our world... The mere existence of gods is far beyond the other world.
the value of."
"Yes, the values are completely unequal." Yasuda Hiroshi waved his hand: "But Yuyuko, you have to know that if you can't get it no matter how high the value is, it's not yours! What's more, you have mentioned the gods of our world.
There are so many trees, and the level of danger is terrifyingly high.”
"Think about it for a second, if you were a rich second generation with a normal mind, and faced with your aging father, would you choose to inherit the family business, or give up the wealth that is within easy reach and go into the sea to work hard on your own?"
The secretary named Youyuko was startled for a moment, then nodded: "If it were me, I would choose to inherit the family property...I understand what you mean, Minister!"
"Although our world is full of wealth, it is powerful and mysterious, and full of deadly dangers!"
"Although the alien world is broken and low-level, most of its mysterious veil has been lifted by aliens and recorded in history."
"Forefathers planted trees, and future generations enjoy the shade. What's more, Kagutu God has destroyed most of the world. Ready-made land and resources are waiting to be received, and wealth is at your fingertips."
Sitting on the chair, Yasuda Hiroshi nodded, this is what he wanted to say.
A windfall at your fingertips.
Even when he first received the news, he wanted to invite Shinto and monks to discuss the carving up of another world in detail more than once, but in the end he chose to pass the news to the consortium and let these greedy guys explore the way for him.
It turned out that Shinto not only rejected it, but also resented it.
reason.....
"Youyouzi, I remember that the oracle of Lord Dragon God said that half the world would be destroyed, right?"
"yes!"
"You can't have both, what a pity!"
...
Mie Prefecture, Ise Shrine.
The news from Tokyo was quickly spread throughout the shrine, and the exciting news diluted the originally tense and depressing atmosphere.
While Oda Saori was discussing the details of the sacrificial ceremony seven days later with the palace ministers from several nearby large shrines, the priests and shrine maidens of Nakata Sen were immersed in this pure joy.
In the Jingu Forest, two formal shrine maidens wearing red and white costumes stood at the edge of the forest belt, chatting while observing and instructing the trainee shrine maidens in their forest maintenance work.
"Why does it still have to be a week! I can hardly wait any longer!" Naoko Taki kicked the stones on the roadside, her pretty face full of resentment: "There are still seven days to complete the oracle, how can I wait any longer?"
A long sacrificial ceremony will be held...it will take even longer to see the Dragon God again!"
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
Mingzi listened to the complaints of his companions, with a sad expression on his face.
Yes, gregarious.
Whether a person is gregarious and whether he has or joins a circle is a very important thing.
Social interaction is particularly important in an island country where everyone is "polite". In this country, if you are too conspicuous or independent, someone will gossip behind your back. Either you are annoyed, or you are getting carried away with what you say. The power of gossip
Everyone knows that unless you are like Saori Oda and are so good that no one can match you, then no matter how unconventional you are, people will take the initiative to join you and form a circle.
However, if you do not have the power to break the rules and force yourself to stand out, you will be excluded. People who lack strength but want to stand out will eventually find that the surroundings are full of prejudice and indifference. When they want to bow their heads, they have already lost
Got the chance.
After all, once a circle is fixed, it will not change easily.
There is also a similar circle among shrine maidens. They are distinguished from each other by their identities, personalities, etc. before they became righteous together and entered the shrine.
Naoko Taki was one of the few girls of the same age who was promoted to a full-time job at the same time as her, and the two naturally became good friends. Although Mingzi felt uncomfortable with Naoko Taki's strong utilitarianism, in order to maintain this friendship, she
He had to choose accommodation and disguise, made the same sad expression, and said:
"However, half a month also gives us enough preparation time! The qualifications to work in the main hall and the divine residence... No matter how high the price is, we must successfully obtain it!"
"yes!"
Listening to her friend's encouraging words, Naoko Taki also had a smile on her face.
