"Thanks to the great love from the gods of Takamagahara and the loyalty of the myriad spirits of Feitu Mountain, we have this grand gathering today. I shall revere the deities, purify myself, reflect on my actions, and continue the prosperity for generations..."
At the Furukawa Conference Hall.
Kitagawa Ryoko listened to the Mountain God's speech.
Her respectful expression was as if she were listening to celestial music, devout and passionate.
"Ryoko." Yukino Ritsuko called out.
"Oh, Sister Yukino." Kitagawa Ryoko snapped back to reality, "What? What did you just say?"
"It's time to change clothes." Yukino Ritsuko reminded her again.
With this reminder, Kitagawa Ryoko noticed that her companions had already gone backstage. Three or four companions slightly older than her had already put their legs on the bar, beginning their warm-up exercises before the performance.
"Yukino."
The Mountain God's Wife, dressed in red wedding attire, suddenly walked this way.
