Kitsu swayed its ten tails, eyes locked onto Alex. "And what do you want for the future?"
Alex met Kitsu's gaze without hesitation. "You have the sacred portal—the Torii Gate."
Akiko stroked her chin, considering his words. "Ah… there is one. Deep underground, beneath the tallest mountain. But to open it..."
"You need a pair of Miko to bless the portal, right?" Alex finished.
Akiko blinked in surprise before breaking into a smirk. "Oh? How do you know that? Wow, as expected from the God of Grinding."
Angelina chuckled and clapped along with her. "Truly, nothing escapes him."
Akiko sighed, shaking her head. "Well, you're not wrong. Without the blessing of two Miko, the Torii Gate won't open. It's been sealed for centuries."
Alex leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Then we need to find Miko who can do it."
