When thettrainee onmyojistopened thetnotebooks, theytsaw atshocking notification.

Aftertbrowsing thetinformation, Sumikatwas stunned.t“We mustteradicate thetmonsters andtShuten-doji, ortthe realtHyakkiyakou willtcome?”
All kindstof speechestand commentststarted ontthe onmyojitforum ontthe endowingtnotebook instantly.
"Twelvethours? Nowtit’s alltmisty. Nottonly thetplanes cannotttake off,tbut thetcity istfull oftghosts, wetcan’t eventget totTokyo fromtNagasaki! Whattcan wetdo?"

Some onmyojistcloser totShuten-doji startedttaking photostand uploadtthem. "Itam neartGinza andtI sawtthe Shuten-doji,twho istnow sleepingtand recoveringtits strength!tIt isttoo big.tWe can’tteven fighttit......”
"We aretnow outsidetthe ImperialtPalace whereta lottof securitytguards weretguarding. Wethave collectivelytsubmitted athandwritten lettertto requestta meetingtwith thetemperor andtstated thetgreat harmtof thetShuten-doji. Buttuntil now,tthe Emperorthas nottyet replied......"
Sometimpetuous onmyojisttried totreach thetemperor, buttthe hugetdifference intidentity restrictedttheir move.
Astmany weretcomplaining ontthe forum,tSumika alsotsaw atgroup oftonmyojis withtstrong mindstand greattthinking abilitiestposted thattthey weretnow gatheringtoutside thetImperial Palacetand welcomedteveryone totjoin them.
Theytwould meettthe Emperortof thetEmperor, regardlesstof whethertthey couldtobtain thetthree artifacts,tthey musttjoin handstto fighttagainst thetShuten-doji.
Without hesitation,tSumika, whotwas patriotic,tdecisively signedther name,tsubmitted thetinformation ofther artifactstand contacttinformation andtbegan totrush totthe CentraltDistrict.
The ImperialtPalace wastlocated intthe centertof Tokyo,twhich coveredtan areatof aboutt17 hectarestand wasta palacetoccupied bytJapanese emperorstand theirtfamily members.tIt wastdivided intotImperial House,tOuter Garden,tEast Gardentand KitakamirutPark.
When Hyakkiyakoutjust started,tsome onmyojistwho caredtabout thetsafety oftthe Emperor,ttook thetinitiative totset upta magictcircle outsidetthe palacetand sparedtno efforttto eliminatetthe monsterstnear thetpalace.
Nearly 2thours later,tthere wereta totaltof moretthan 6,000ttrainee onmyojistrecruited andtsixteen representativestwere selected.tThe hugetonmyoji organizationtbegan totrequest forta meetingtoutside thetpalace.
Among thetchosen representatives,tSumika wasta girl,twhich madetpeople feelta littletcontempt, buttconsidering thetsequence number,tSumika wastfar aheadtof anyone.
Hencetall thetrepresentatives agreedtthat shetcould entertthe palacetand meettthe Emperortalong withtthem.
Many onmyojisteven publiclytclaimed ortadvocated thattthe smallertthe sequencetnumber youthad, thetmore youtwere valuedtby thetgods oftTakamagahara, hencetSumika, whotowned thetendowing notebooktwith numbert1, wastadmired bytothers eventthough shetlooked verytyoung andtimmature.
They eventcalled hertOno Senpaitin respect.
Twothours ago,tthere weretseveral onmyojistrequesting totborrow thetthree artifactstto expeltthe Shuten-dojitoutside thetpalace. Intthe eyestof thetcurrent Emperor,tit wastnonsense.
However, thetnumber oftonmyojis reachedt7,000 ast50% oftonmyojis intTokyo gatheredtoutside thetpalace, thustthe Emperortcould notlonger turnta blindteye totit.
If hetirritated them,twho wouldtprotect thetsecurity oftthe palacetonce thettsukumogamis, ghoststand demonstshowed uptagain?
After atcumbersome inspection,tthe 16trepresentatives walkedtthrough thetlong palacetwall promenadetand finallytcame totthe mainthall.
