The Wanderer and the Priestess

Chapter 11

Izanagi's POV. Miko's House

I woke up for another day. Yep, just another day.

Izanagi: *yawn*

Izanagi: Alright.......time to start a new day.

I fixed my futon and after doing that, I went to the living room and I saw drinking some tea.

Izanagi: Good morning, Miko.

Miko: Good morning, honey.

Izanagi: ............

Izanagi: Calm down. It's your everyday teasing from Miko, so yeah.

I sat beside the table as I took my own cup and poured tea on it.

Miko: Izanagi, have you heard about the ceremony that was entrusted to the Tenryou Commission?

After sipping of the tea, I put my cup down and answered her question.

Izanagi: Yes. The Vision Hunt Ceremony.

Izanagi: Why? Is there something wrong?

Miko: Watch yourself, because as I received news that the Vision Hunters already seized 99 Visions.

Izanagi: Damn, they already made it that far........?

Miko: And I fear that the 100th Vision that will be taken........is anyone.

Izanagi: So, you told me to watch myself, right?

Miko: Yes.

Miko: I have a task for you. I know this may be dangerous but, I need you to keep watch of the city and look for any Vision Bearers that could be in danger of being the 100th victim.

Izanagi: I see. Then, I need to hurry then.

Miko: You can take your time.

Izanagi: No, I won't let them get another Vision seized under the decree.

Izanagi: I'll put a stop to it immediately.

After finishing the tea. I quickly get on my usual clothes and heads to the city.

Izanagi: I'll be off.

Miko: Have a safe trip, Izanagi.

I smiled.

Izanagi: Don't worry. I'll come back home before you even knew it.

I set off to the city and surprisingly, there are less people in the streets.

Izanagi: What's going on? Did something happened?

Izanagi: Anyways, just to be safe, since it's still a little too early. I'll head to the Komore Teahouse and—

???: You there! Halt!

I stopped from my tracks as I turned to see two Shogunate Samurais coming to me.
