Among them, the Kagura Inari Shrine is the largest and most powerful. On the approach to the worship hall, the vibrant red torii gates are arranged one after another, solemn and noble like those of the Fushimi Inari Shrine.

Eighteen years ago, he bore the responsibility of expanding the influence of the Inari Shrine in Kanto. He left Fushimi Inari Shrine and came to Tokyo to serve as the Palace Master of Kagura Inari Shrine. Over these eighteen years, his greatest wish was to make Kagura Inari Shrine one of the Big 5 in the Onmyo-ryo Kanto Branch, and he had been working tirelessly towards this goal.
Now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope for this goal.
Earlier today, Section 9 issued a wanted notice for Fujiwara Reya.
