Not far from Tokyo Tower, nestled among high-end hotels, schools, television and radio stations, and embassies, lay a serene forest dotted with beautiful shrines and temples.
Winding paths crisscrossed this wooded expanse, leading to hidden sanctuaries.
One such path, a series of two hundred stone steps ascending through lush greenery, led to the Shichiou Shrine.
Enveloped by ancient trees, the shrine exuded an aura of tranquility and timelessness.
In the courtyard, near the main hall, stood a small, unassuming building with a sign that read "Shrine Office."
Inside the office, Mariya Yuri was getting ready.
Dressed in a white blouse and a red hakama, she stood before a mirror, combing her long, shoulder-length hair.
Her silky hair had a rich, dark brown hue. Despite her youth, she possessed a delicate beauty, hinting at a future of captivating allure.
