A terraced mountain road was connected to Seishuku Temple.
An Onmyouji stood in front of this mountain road, raising his head to look at the mountaintop.
The mountain was covered with large, ancient cedar trees. The mountain top was enveloped in gray clouds. Even looking around casually, he could feel like it had been accumulating something for a long time from its awe-inspiring appearance. It felt like a remote mountain.
The Onmyouji nodded, muttering 'how nostalgic' as he turned to look behind his back.
An ancient warehouse-like structure stood there. It was a design completely different from the Front Hall that he had known, but it seemed to still bear the name.
Just then, a truck drove up next to the Front Hall. The Onmyouji's gaze returned to the North Star Mountain from before and he took out a cell phone.
"...Senpai? How is it over there?'
"They're already deployed."
"Understood. Then, I'm going over."
He ended the call, a calm smile surfacing on his face.
"You two, are you still ready?"
"Of course."
"Yeah..."
The Onmyouji nodded at these invisible voices and then strode out.
