Chapter 203 Asakusa Shrine
Wu Xuan slowly opened his eyes upon hearing that, and looked in the direction of the voice. What he saw was Huang Quan with half of his face covered by long purple hair.
Her purple eyes were full of indifference, as if she had no feelings towards this world...
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan sighed softly.
"I still think you look good eating crepes bite by bite..."
Huang Quan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then turned his head away and no longer looked at the man in front of him.
"Let's go, we should go back."
"understood."
......
After the two returned to the "Knife-wielding Man's" residence, Wu Xuan looked at Huang Quan standing in the courtyard, sighed slightly, and then walked to her side.
"Huangquan, do you want to go to the shrine together?"
Hearing this, the woman slowly turned around and looked at Wu Xuan in front of her, then nodded slightly without saying anything.
For her...this saves her a lot of trouble.
Because she also has the same side quest.
[Side Quest: "Asakusa Shrine"]
[Task Description: Invite him to go to Asakusa Shrine and feel the existence of this world]
[Mission Reward: "Breaking Delusion" x1]
[Task penalty: none]
["Breaking Illusions" (One-time item): Possesses the ability to break through illusions. Perhaps in the future... it will be helpful to you. ]
After confirming the task she had received again, Huang Quan looked up at the sky and found that it was a little gloomy at the moment. She then walked into the room and took out two oil-paper umbrellas.
"It is going to rain."
As Huang Quan spoke, he handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Wu Xuan, and then slowly left with the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
Wu Xuan looked at Huang Quan's back, feeling a little...at a loss for a moment.
"As I recall...she didn't know the way?"
However, when Wu Xuan walked out...he saw Huang Quan standing at the intersection, watching people coming and going, at a loss as to what to do.
As if she sensed Wu Xuan's arrival, she turned around and looked at him quietly, and only said a word after a long while.
"Do you know how to get to Asakusa Shrine?"

......
A moment later, the two arrived at the "Asakusa Shrine". At this time, it started to drizzle from the sky. Huang Quan and Wu Xuan opened their umbrellas, walked through the torii and steps and came to the shrine.
Perhaps because of the bad weather today, there were not many people in the shrine.
The two walked side by side on the wide stone road, stopping from time to time to look at the ema and wishes hanging on the ema stand beside them, and to look at the rather sturdy cherry tree.
Of course, I also can’t miss watching myself write an ema.
In response to this, Wu Xuan’s explanation was… since I’m here now, if I don’t write a post to hang it up it would be the same as not having come at all.
They took the ema from the shrine maidens inside the shrine, wrote their wishes on them, and then hung them on the ema stand.
After that, Wu Xuan did not tell Huang Quan what he had written, and Huang Quan did not ask or raise the issue.
The two of them just put the matter aside. After all, it was not important to them.
After walking into the shrine, I gently pulled the bell and clapped my hands, as if praying to the gods enshrined in "Asakusa Shrine".
Just as the two were about to leave, the shrine maiden inside the shrine recognized them.
“Eh?! You…you…are you two the ones holding the fire knife and the lightning knife?! Is this true?!”
The young shrine maiden was shouting and screaming, as if it was incredible that the two people in front of her would come to the shrine.
"Fire Blade...Thunder Blade..."
Wu Xuan repeated these four characters with a twitching mouth, which made him a little...unsure of what to say.
But it's normal. After all... they only know who the twelve "World-Protecting Swords" belong to, but they don't know the corresponding names.
Using such a simple and understandable name to call the "knife-wielding man"... doesn't seem to be a big problem.
You can just say whether "烈" means fire sword or not? You can just say whether "鸣" means thunder sword or not?
If so, then so. It's just a name anyway, no big deal.
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan nodded gently without saying anything.
——Yes, he didn’t say anything, but the young witch had already started to sneak into the underworld.
And Huang Quan was indifferent to this...
Her indifferent personality and stable mental state made Wu Xuan envious.
"Wow! Then why did you two choose to come to the shrine on a rainy day? Are you on a date?! So romantic~"
When the young witch said this, there were stars in her eyes, as if she had seen something rare.
Wu Xuan lamented the jumping thoughts of today's young people and shook his head in denial.
However, the witch didn't care and continued to kowtow to the two people in front of her.
Wu Xuan had no way to deal with this. After all, from the moment she said that... he knew that he couldn't convince such a person.
After all...she had already locked him and Huang Quan together in her subconscious mind, so no matter how he explained it would be useless.
Looking at the excited young witch, Wu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked at Huang Quan beside him.
"let's go?"
Huang Quan nodded gently, and the two of them opened their oil-paper umbrellas and walked into the rain at the same time.
......
The two people walked slowly in the rain, looking at the empty streets, and for a moment there was a feeling of...tranquility.
"Why did you suddenly think of going to the shrine today?" Huang Quan asked.
Wu Xuan shrugged, then stopped and looked up at the sky, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Huang Quan...Do you think there are really gods in this world?"
Hearing this question, Huang Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then how long do you think this world can last?"
Huang Quan shook his head.
"I do not know."
"But I know very well... Even if this world is as short-lived as dew, we must adapt to it because we have come to this world."
Hearing Huang Quan's words, Wu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and then took a step forward.
"I hope so. We will... fight for the peace of this world until the last moment, right?"
Huang Quan nodded.
Almost at the moment she nodded, a light screen indicating that the mission was completed appeared in front of her eyes.
