In the dimly lit, mystical realm of the Ayakashi shrine, the air was thick with the scent of incense, and the soft rustle of leaves could be heard as the shrine maiden carefully made her way to the entrance to greet the guards from the main shrine. She was a blind but incredibly skilled shrine maiden, known for her acute senses and dedication to her duties.
Today, she had an unexpected companion, Lady Hina, who was a trusted and talented teacher of Ayakashi Shrine and often served as the Shrine maiden's guide when navigating the shrine's sacred grounds.
As the guards from the main shrine approached, the shrine maiden bowed her head in greeting. "Welcome, dear guards," she said with a warm smile, her voice gentle and serene. "How may we assist you today?"
