Dragon Raja: Erii Deserves a Guardian Spirit Too

This is reporter Takatsuki Izumi, bringing you a report. We’re here to interview Erii, the young shrine maiden of the Snake-Eye Clan’s family shrine.

As the camera turned toward her, Miss Erii lowered her head slightly. She wore pristine white sleeves and a vermilion skirt, and her little rosy face was still plump with baby fat. She was an adorable little thing.

“Miss Erii, may I ask if you consider yourself a shrine maiden?” reporter Takatsuki Izumi asked warmly.

“Of course I’m a shrine maiden. This is the responsibility my family entrusted to me.” Little Erii took a pen and notebook from her sleeve and wrote the words in crooked handwriting.

“Then let me ask you this: if you say you’re a shrine maiden, where’s your shrine maiden license?” Reporter Takatsuki Izumi flashed a sly smile, looking like a wily fox.

Little Erii had never heard of a shrine maiden license. She gaped in astonishment, wearing the expression of an old Chinese doctor who had spent his whole life curing people, only to suddenly be told he’d been practicing medicine without a license.

“Then let me ask you this: do you know that if you impersonate a shrine maiden without a license, the police will take you away and confiscate your illegal earnings?” The sly reporter Takatsuki Izumi pressed her advantage.

The petite red-haired girl looked a little flustered, her hands unconsciously tightening around the ritual wand she was holding.

“Then let me ask you this: do you still think you’re a shrine maiden?” For some reason, reporter Takatsuki Izumi had a pointy head.

“I think I am,” the little red-haired shrine maiden weakly wrote on the paper. Then she sat in a wheelchair that had appeared from who-knows-where, charged forward, and sent the sly, pointy-headed reporter flying.
