After the argument between Tet and Shizuka was over, Shizuka went home when she noticed it was getting dark.
The next day Asahi suddenly goes the idea visits the shrine to play with Yuri since after the fight and training event he didn't have time to visit her also they didn't meet each other at school these days.
When he arrived at the shrine and called Yuri to play but instead Yuri was going to meet him, the servant in the shrine meet him and apologized to him that he can't meet her that day due she was training.
"Im very sorry Asahi-san, Yuri-sama is in the middle of studying right now, I'm afraid you can visit her next time."
"I understand can you notify her that I was here and tell her I will visit her next time?"
"Understood, we will tell her about what you said." Milf Miko said.
After the talk, Asahi walked down the stair for a while.
Suddenly he turned around and started to run to the shrine while using concealment skills to sneak into the shrine to make sure Yuri was alright.
When the Milf shrine maiden talks to him, he has a feeling there is something odd going on so he agrees right away since it will take a while for the talking if he insists, so he wraps things up and checks her out his own eyes.
While he was looking around he couldn't help but feel amazed at the design of the shrine it's so traditional and saw a different Shinto statue.
There he saw the milf shrine maiden he talked to earlier who had just gotten out of the room and there he felt the presence of Yuri in the room.
He opened slightly the sliding door to take a glance and saw Yuri sitting in the center of the room and meditating.
'[Status]'
Asahi was taking a glance and activating his [Status] authority to look at Yuri's abilities due to their last meeting he can only feel her mana, not her skill so its the best time to use it.
When he looks at Yuri's status, Asahi widened his eyes making him surprised, and immediately deactivates his authority and uses his concealment to hide his power.
While Yuri was meditating and thinking about the message she received from the Milf Miko who met Asahi, she was feeling bad that she didn't meet him due to her training.
Suddenly her eyes glow green as a sign her [Spiritual Vision] was activated, she feels someone looking at her through the door, and immediately the magic disappears.
Yuri feels a first-time feel this presence which pressures her and feel scared of what is happening but she still opens the sliding door to see who is inside.
When she looked outside there was nothing, Yuri sighed a relief that there was nothing and went back to the room.
"*Sigh* it's good there nothing in there."
"Yeah, it's good there's nothing in there."
Yuri suddenly heard a reply and was startled when she was about to scream but someone covered her mouth.
"Shhh, it's me Asahi."
She looked at who was the one covering her mouth and it was Asahi putting his index finger to his mouth indicating to 'quiet down, then he released his to her mouth so she could speak.
"When did you get here?" Yuri ask.
"While ago I just open another door." Asahi said and pointed to another sliding door where he entered.
Yuri heard his answer making him suspicious of him and Asahi said his reason to come here in a low voice causing him embarrassment which make her stunned.
"Well...I just worried since I didn't see you in school for a month and the pretty onee-san didnt let me meet you, so I came to check if youre alright."
After she awakes her [Spiritual Eyes], she gains a Sixth sense that high her intuition, she is also capable perceived some of the information in memories of the void which she can't control yet and it activates less than 15% of the time and causing great stress on her body and draining on her, that causing her to faints shortly after her first use of it.
{A/n: It's still the awakening phase that's why it's 15%.}
That's why when Asahi sees Yuri's status he was surprised that Yuri has awakened her [Spiritual Eyes] though she was still a child her skill and big magic capacity thus making drained her when she used the skill unconsciously which makes her capable of seeing his [Authority] inside him.
Asahi was feeling grateful that his concealment skill and the illusion ring that Tet and he made is higher than Yuri's skill can block her right now.
"I-is that so? thank you for worrying me but how did you get in here exactly?" Yuri was kinda embarrassing too and asked again,
She thought of the mystery of how did it exactly enter since many people here are serving this shrine and it's forbidden for the outsider to enter this area also luckily her mom was not here and she not using magic since its secret for an ordinary human who is not part of supernatural so how can he possibly enter without noticing?
Unless... that presence she senses earlier was him.
"I just sneaked in the entrance and looked around then I saw the pretty Miko that I talked to earlier, who just got out and thought youre here and we're here now," idiotic simple excuse of Asahi but it was mostly the truth he walks here straight at the shrine but he does not mention what he method he uses.
Yuri heard his full explanation she nodded as a sign of erasing her suspicion of him.
'Damn girl, are you on the Detective Boys to clear the mystery' Asahi thoughts and sighed in relief. He was almost caught who he really was and it was good for him to enter the other side room before Yuri checked it, but he looked at her and smiled at least the more important thing is she was alright and also noticed she improved a lot when the last time he met her.
"Did you see anything suspicious when you walked here?"
"Mhmm, no why you ask?"
"Nothing..."
"Anyway, how about let's have a sit first, we have so many to catch up with." Asahi happily suggests an idea since his main purpose here is to check if she was alright and another one is to spend time with her since they separated for months.
"Sure!" Yuri happily said she set aside the earlier incident because the more important thing for her was to spend time with his friend.
The two spent time together and talked about their ordinary life.
Yuri learned he became Mangaka and made her amazed despite they are the same age he was capable of making the story and Shizuka was being Assistant in his activity.
Asahi suggested reading it if she was having free time or was bored.
As for Asahi, he notices she is becoming a more genuine shrine maiden than before in their first meeting.
He also learns that she will go to the day after tomorrow to Saitenguu to train more to be a Miko in years.
Saitenguu is a shrine on Nikkou mountain in the Tochigi prefecture that the Kuhoudzuka families/clan owned but he didnt care who they are at the moment, the matter is Yuri will train them in years meaning they will not meet in years.
Yuri was sad when she talked about this. Asahi saw this reaction and feel sad too for his friend will not see her for a while but he immediately patted her head tried to cheer her up and said.
"Yosh... Yosh... don't cry. It's not like we will never see each other again. We can meet again in the future. I just hope if we meet again you will become a real Miko." while showing a wry smile and that makes Yuri push him in the stomach and complain at him but Asahi acts in pain.
"Hey! Im genuine Miko right now."
"Ow, Ow. Yeah, youre a beautiful chibi-Miko." Asahi replied casually while patting her head.
Yuri seeing Asahi's reaction caused what she said, she pouted while gripping her red hakama and holding back her tears to fall down.
Seeing this, Asahi stop his acting and tried hurriedly to stop her tears and try to comfort her, saying "Ok, ok, you're really genuine Miko now, so don't cry."
"I-im not crying there's something got in my eyes," Yuri said while scratching her eyes, Asahi agreed with what excuse she saying, continuing to comfort her.
After she stops crying she distances herself from Asahi who was comforting her and declared to him.
"The next time we meet I will show you that I become a proper Miko so look forward to it!"
Asahi heard Yuri's declaration, and he smiled "Idiot, of course, I'm expecting your improvement so be sure you improve a lot chibi."
Yuri heard his reply and nodded agreeing to reply but still complained saying chibi to her.
They laughed together until the mood was immediately cut off when Asahi noticed someone was coming and it was their mother of Yuri, so he stood up, notify he was going out now.
"Ah wait for a second, before I forgot, I want you to have this."
He stops at the moment and takes out a slipknot bracelet from his self-made Sling bag each pocket connected to his arsenal and placed on her right wrist.
It has 3 marbles attached to the yarn.
The 2 marbles are color green as emerald crystals except one in the middle is a color white moon crystal making it stand out the most inside of it has the symbol of a chess piece [Bishop] class for his signature.
[A/n: Will be talked about this signature work in full detail in the later chapters.]
Each 3 marble has a different enchantment effect, the first can be capable of sucking the incoming magic attack or effect of the enemies and returning back, and the Second is a magic bank spare when the user was out of mana this will recharge her mana, lastly, the white moonstone has 3 enchantment spell put in, it has protection, portal, courage spell on it.
When the user is in a crucial situation the Protection and gate will be activated where Asahi is this will send an SOS and when the user is in danger.
also, it has owner identification for only the maker or user acknowledge can use the item this is in in case it is hands-on wrong hand it will not activate or you can say it Anti-theft.
"It's a lucky charm, I made. Be sure you don't take it off, okay? Also When youre getting scared, always think of me so you can get courage."
Yuri nodded at Asahi's instruction and looked at the beautiful bracelet he give her.
She smiled with tears falling down her eyes and suddenly hugged her and kissed him on the cheek. And pushes Asahi away again.
"D-don't get the wrong idea, this is an exchange for the bracelet. hurry up and go before mom catch you" Yuri said.
Asahi wanna tease Yuri about what she did but he heard a sound getting nearby then he suddenly went to the window and he turned around a little and saw Yuri's face have tears seen, he wanna said something but instead he just raised his hand and made a signal saying goodbye.
Then he went home.
"Are you alright Yuri?" Touko said and noticed something wrong with Yuri.
"Ah, it's nothing mother, it just something went in of my eyes," Yuri said showing her kind smile while cleaning her making sure there were no tears.
Touko walks in front of Yuri and gives her a hug. She knows Yuri was sad since she was going to leave her home and friends for Miko training gathering to become an official to be Miko which is traditional for them but the cause is without seeing her loved ones for years as the eldest daughter she has to do this for her family reputation.
She was feeling bad about giving a burden on her daughter. She can only give her comfort and love.
"Im sorry Yuri, you didn't meet your friend to say goodbye to them, instead I secluded you for your training. Im a really bad mother *Sob*" Touko was about to cry while her daughter Yuri just hugged her back and tried to calm her mother.
Who was Touka?
She was the wife of the head of the Mariya Family, she was an elegant and serious type of woman but she was weak-willed against being the mother of Yuri &Hikari only can see this is his husband and her daughters.
Asahi is scared of her cause he only sees her in the serious mode of Yuri's mother when they first met.
Yuri who was calming her mother and replied to her, "It's okay mom, I know you do it for my own good. it's only years, Im sure I will meet him again." while looking at her bracelet. and remembered Asahi's back at the farewell moment she felt really strange about him.
After she gained [Spiritual Eyes] there was one more skill she gained she can tell if a person is lying or not, in short, lie detection. That's why she was asking like a detective earlier because suddenly she couldn't tell if Asahi was lying or not like she was blocking her but she believes in Asahi.
Though She still doesn't know the reason why it is happening it makes her more curious about him.
Touka was finally calm now when she heard her daughter reply to her and notice something in the last part. 'Him?'
"You mean the boy name Asahi who always comes here to ask to play with you?" she remembered the moment he introduced himself to her when he was calling Yuri to play with him.
Yuri was stunned for a moment her face becoming red and shyly nodded but she denied she didn't have a crush on her they are just friends.
Touko seeing her daughter blushing couldn't help but think cute wanted to hug her again but she held herself.
"Yuri, could you tell me about that boy you always play with?" Touko said in serious mode again, planning to do a background check on this boy.
"Ok!" Yuri nodded at her and told her who he was and how they met.
