A few days after the investigation into the missing explorers had ended, Fyodor made his way back to Takashi's house, eager to share his experience at the shrine of Amaterasu. He entered the house and found Takashi waiting for him, ready to listen to his account. They settled down in the living room, and Fyodor began to recount the strange occurrences he had witnessed.

"I saw figures in black robes and hoods," Fyodor began, his voice tinged with a hint of unease. "Their faces were completely covered, and they were chanting in a language I didn't recognize. It sent shivers down my spine."

Takashi leaned forward, captivated by Fyodor's words. "What happened next?" he asked, his curiosity evident.

Fyodor continued, his voice trembling slightly. "And then, I heard a hissing voice, so eerie and chilling. It said, 'The goddess doesn't take kindly to intruders.' I couldn't see where it was coming from, but it seemed to surround me. And then, I heard the voice of Amaterasu herself, asking me, 'Who are you, mortal?'"

Takashi's eyes widened with astonishment. "You heard the voice of Amaterasu?" he asked, clearly amazed.

Fyodor nodded, his expression a mix of wonder and bewilderment. "Yes, I did. It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. I felt a surge of energy coursing through me as I stood before the goddess."

Takashi listened intently, hanging on to every word. "What did you say to her?" he inquired.

Fyodor took a deep breath, recalling the moment. "I told her about my search for knowledge and wisdom," he said. "I explained my intentions and my desire to understand the mysteries of the world. And then, the figures disappeared, and the voice was gone."

Takashi remained silent for a moment, absorbing the weight of Fyodor's experience. "Did you learn anything new?" he finally asked, his voice filled with anticipation.

Fyodor nodded a sense of reverence in his eyes. "Yes, I did. The voice of the goddess imparted new knowledge and insights into the world that I had never considered before. It was a humbling experience, to say the least."

A smile crept onto Takashi's face. "It sounds like you had a spiritual awakening," he remarked. "Perhaps the shrine of Amaterasu holds more significance than we initially thought."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp42WiOWV3
Fyodor nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "Indeed. We should delve deeper into the shrine's history and explore its hidden secrets. Who knows what else we might discover?"

As they continued their discussion, Takashi brought up the topic of the missing explorers. "It turns out they were attacked by some wild animals," he revealed. "Maybe a bear or something."

Relief washed over Fyodor. "Well, at least it wasn't a murder," he said, grateful for the absence of foul play.

Takashi nodded solemnly. "Yes, that is a small comfort. But it is still a tragedy. We should take a moment to honor their memory."

Fyodor agreed wholeheartedly, and the two of them fell into a brief moment of silence, paying their respects to the lost explorers and reflecting on the fragility of life.

As they concluded their quiet tribute, Fyodor's eyes widened with realization. "Wait a minute, Takashi," he interjected, his voice filled with urgency. "Do you remember the dark figures I saw at the shrine of Amaterasu? They disappeared at the same time as the shrine!"
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPQDRCXEOz
Takashi's brows furrowed, a mix of surprise and concern etching his face. "What do you mean they disappeared?" he asked, his voice laced with curiosity.

Fyodor took a deep breath, trying to make sense of the inexplicable. "When I opened my eyes after receiving the knowledge from the voice of Amaterasu, the figures were gone, and so was the shrine. It was as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5WdgnOERV
Takashi's eyes widened, mirroring Fyodor's astonishment. "This is getting more mysterious by the minute," he murmured, deep in thought. "We need to investigate this further, to uncover the truth behind these strange occurrences."
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNwf94Et9C
Fyodor nodded in agreement, a newfound determination in his gaze. "Yes, we absolutely must. There's so much we don't know about the shrine of Amaterasu and its secrets. We owe it to ourselves and to those who came before us to solve this enigma."
