-648- Go ahead and perform

Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart.

With Yaya, Charl, and Sigmund, Rozen and his group finally arrived here.

"Divination?" The princess of the Izanagi clan was sitting in front of everyone, listening to Rozen's purpose and showing a surprised expression.

Not only Hinowa but even Subaru and Mutsura, standing behind Hinowa, were slightly astonished.

"You're suggesting that the young lady uses divination to track down the 'Cannibal Candy'?" Subaru raised an eyebrow.

"You've actually considered the young lady's divination," Mutsura complimented.

As for Rozen and his group, they also seemed somewhat surprised.

"Is this reliable?" Charl looked skeptical.

"You can use such a method?" Sigmund also expressed amazement.

"Woman." Yaya was still sulking over Rozen's words, feeling akward.

In this way, Rozen smiled at everyone.

"While there are indeed methods to lure out the 'Cannibal Candy,' based on what I know, this should be the simplest and fastest one."

Even the combination of the Disciplinary Committee and the security team couldn't find a clue about this mysterious murderer, but in Rozen's hands, it became a matter of finding several ways to expose the small-time criminal.

However, these methods had a premise.

That was, the 'Cannibal Candy' had to appear first and show its true colors.

In other words, Rozen had to wait for the other party to make a move.

And according to the information provided by Charl and Sigmund, this 'Cannibal Candy' never committed crimes consecutively. After each crime, there would always be a certain period of time before the next appearance, usually at night, not wandering without reason.

If Rozen wanted to expose such a person, he could only wait patiently.

In that case, Rozen decided to take the initiative and directly find the traces of the other party.

Thus, divination was the best method Rozen could think of.

In the world of Tokyo Ravens, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi relied on stargazing to find the baby Rozen and used this ability to foresee countless futures.

If it's this kind of ability, then finding the trace of the 'Cannibal Candy' is not an impossible task.

Of course, Rozen doesn't possess such abilities.

Although among the vast knowledge of jujutsu he inherited, there is knowledge related to divination, these skills are not easy to utilize.

For example, abilities like 'Stargazing' can accurately foresee the future. However, it's a miracle that can only be realized by those born with such innate talent. Without this ability, even with the knowledge, it cannot be effectively executed.

Even Yakou, during his lifetime, could somewhat achieve similar things, but it was still quite limited.

Rozen is the same; he has the knowledge but lacks the aptitude in this aspect, making it impossible to use.

So, Rozen sought help from Hinowa.

"If it's Hinowa, the direct heir of the Izanagi clan and possessing the qualifications of a shrine maiden, her divination should be quite accurate."

Rozen said to everyone.

He still remembered that in the forbidden grounds of the Izanagi clan, Hinowa, in the form of a shrine maiden, offered prayers. This eventually led to a battle between the mountain god and Enenra, allowing Rozen to defeat Enenra.

Therefore, if it's Hinowa, even if her divination is not as proficient as Kurahashi Miyo or Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi, it should be possible for her to determine someone's location.

Although the 'Onmyoudou' in this world has been specialized in the aspect of shikigami, it doesn't mean there aren't other mysterious aspects.

Divination is an important form of 'Onmyoudou.' The Izanagi clan should still retain this ability.

"Y-Yes, I did inherited the divination technique of the Izanagi clan. Although I'm not as proficient as the elders in the family, I should be able to use it reasonably well."

Hinowa didn't disappoint Rozen's expectations. While providing this answer, she anxiously added,

"However, divination is not a spell that can give precise answers. It can only provide a general direction."

And that's a fact.

Throughout history, divination has never been something that can give precise answers. It's a heavenly gift to help people avoid disasters and troubles.

Sometimes it can predict the future, but it's often vague and one-sided.

It can be quite accurate at times, but the information it provides is not complete.

For example, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi, using his stargazing ability, knew that his future son would be the reincarnation of Yakou. Kurahashi Genji also knew about this prophecy.

However, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi managed to manipulate this information, leveraging the adoption of Rozen to divert attention and make others believe that Rozen was the reincarnation of Yakou, allowing Harutora to have a peaceful childhood.

Divination is like this—there are countless ways to manipulate it, sometimes even confusing others' perception and leading them down the wrong path.

It's the same now.

Hinowa can certainly use divination on the 'Cannibal Candy,' but whether she can accurately determine his true identity is uncertain.

Furthermore,

"Divination is a form of magic. Once there's a barrier or interference from other spells, it won't succeed."

Hinowa reminded Rozen.

Because divination is such a thing, people can only take it as advice and not pursue it, otherwise, there would be no mysteries in this world, and the academy would have long found the trace of the 'Cannibal Candy.'

Understanding these things, Rozen, who inherited all of Yakou's knowledge, naturally couldn't be unaware.

So,

"You can perform it with confidence, Hinowa."

Rozen said to Hinowa with a smile, opening his mouth in this way.

"Just go ahead and perform. Leave the rest to me."

These words reached the ears of everyone.

"Um...Okay."

Hinowa hesitated for a moment and then made up her mind.

"Since it's a request from Rozen-sama, I, Domon Hinowa, will do my utmost."

After saying that, Hinowa took out something from her kimono.

It was an octagonal divination plate, a kind of magical tool used for divination.

Hinowa placed the divination plate in front of her, closed her eyes, and began a devout prayer.

"Clang."

A faint halo suddenly shimmered on the divination plate and started to rotate on its surface.

Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath.

At this moment, Rozen slowly took out several talismans from his bosom.
