――[After the cherry blossom season passed, a visitor came to the Nagato family.] Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Known as the shrine maiden of Wasina, a woman who has presided over Wasinamura Shrine for almost forty years. Actually, this was recently invited by the Nagato Sect, because Narujin Haru seems to be a little unwell recently. Nagato Tsuruko was waiting in the hallway outside her mother's bedroom, and Saburo Nagato was also anxiously wandering outside. The inspection took a long time, during which Nagato Sokin and his wife came to visit once, and some people from the family came in batches, until shortly after the end of the lunch period, the bedroom door was opened, and the shrine maiden of Wasai came out with a smile, saying that there was no big problem, but it was a good thing. 】

- ["Pregnant?!really!" After hearing the exact statement of the Wasina shrine maiden, Saburo Nagato almost cried with joy. 】

- [Nagato Tsuruko knows that she will soon have a younger brother or sister, and her little eyes are wide open. I saw my aunt when she was pregnant, and her belly grew bigger day by day. With such a big belly and a small life growing in it, she felt that it was an incredible thing. After Wasae's shrine maiden came out, she was the first to run into Narujinchun's bedroom, put her little head in Narujinchun's arms, and then raised her head and asked, "Really?"

- ["Tsuruko is going to be a sister, and she can't be so willful in the future, she wants to be an example."] Narujin Haru touched Nagato's head and smiled softly. 】

- [Nagato Tsuruko nodded earnestly.] 】

- [Actually, there was another incident that happened on this day, and it was actually about Nagato Tsuruko.] After the shrine maiden of Wasai finished checking on Narujin Haru, she quickly found Nagato Sokin and Nagato Saburo with a solemn expression, "I intend to train Tsuruko to become the next shrine maiden, I don't know what Nagato-sama wants?"

- [Nagato Sokin and Nagato Saburo looked at each other for a moment.] The shrine maiden is a respectable person, who prays for the blessing of the village on weekdays, guards the shrine, and ward off evil spirits. It is precisely because of the existence of Wase shrine maidens that the villagers of Waseda Village have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the wind and rain have been smooth for thousands of years, and they have not heard of any problems. Originally, the person who succeeded the Wasina shrine maiden should have been Narujin Haru, but she later married Saburo Nagato. 】

- ["Big brother, you can make up your mind about this matter."] Saburo Nagato was silent for a while, and finally planned to hand over the decision to Nagato Sokin as the head of the family. He knew that his eldest brother would be able to make the most correct determination. Even if the Nagato Sect funded itself impermanently at the beginning, so that he could have the capital to go to the battlefield. Although he later returned from the battlefield in discouragement, he did not gain much merit, and he was a little sorry for his brother's original funding, but the brother did not say anything, but treated himself as always. Saburo Nagato felt a debt in his heart. 】

- ["The crane is your daughter, and you should be in charge of this matter. Nagato shook his head and told Nagato Saburo to let him consider this matter from his father's point of view, and not to have too much burden. 】

- ["Miko-sama, is it because Tsuruko is Haru's child?" Saburo Nagato finally asked the question he wanted to know the most. Wasae's shrine maiden was respected, but he wasn't sure if the shrine maiden-sama would be haunted by what had happened back then—after all, he had married Narujin Haru and cut off a shrine maiden-sama with an heir. 】

――["Because it's a spring child, it's naturally very important."] But that's not the most important thing. The shrine maiden of Wasai nodded, and then smiled at Saburo Nagato: "Does Saburo-sama know something?"

- "Miko-sama, please speak."] ”】

- "That kid, since last summer, has been trying to climb the steps of the shrine alone, and has never given up."] ”】

――[Saburo Nagato said curiously: "Why?"]

- "Because of Saburo-sama."] The shrine maiden of Wasai said indifferently, "I watched the crane at the shrine every day, and at first she was just trying to prove herself, after all, this is how Saburo-sama climbed over in the first place." ”】

- [Nagato Saburo smiled, knowing that the shrine maiden of Wasai was still a little unhappy about marrying Narujin Haru back then.] 】

- [The shrine maiden of Wasai continued, "However, it is naturally very rare that this persistence can appear in a six-year-old child. Also, doesn't Saburo-sama think that Nagato Tsuruko would want to climb the ladder of the shrine is also a kind of fate? I don't think it's me choosing her, but that she herself chose this path unintentionally. Of course, Saburo-sama gave Tsuruko life, and you are also qualified to decide what her future holds. ”】

- ["I'd like to talk to Haru about it."] ”】

- ["It doesn't seem to be a wrong thing to entrust to you. The shrine maiden of Wasae looked relieved. 】

- [Saburo Nagato and the Wasina shrine maiden agreed on a time to reply, and asked the subordinate to send the shrine maiden away.] He soon returned to his wife Ming Shenchun's side, and naturally there was a burst of cold and warmth. Saburo Nagato tells Narujin about the shrine maiden's choice of Tsuruko and wants to hear his wife's opinion. 】

- ["Last year, when I was praying for a blessing in the New Year, Miko-sama asked Tsuruko about it in private. Narujin thought for a moment. 】

――[At that time, Saburo Nagato hadn't come back yet, so he was curious at the moment and asked, "What did Tsuruko say?"

- [Narujin Haru re-told Saburo Nagato what Tsuruko said at the time.] After listening to this, Saburo Nagato thought for a while before making a decision. Saburo Nagato grabbed Narujinharu's hand and said with a smile, "Then this time, let Tsuruko decide for himself." ”】

- [Saburo Nagato later called Tsuruko Nagato and told the reason. It's been more than a year since the last New Year's prayer, and Nagato Tsuruko has grown up a lot, and during this time she has continued to read, and her horizons have gradually broadened, and she can already think about some things on her own. 】

- ["Father, if you become a shrine maiden, will you become respectable?"]

- ["It's not that people are respected because they have become a shrine maiden, but because they have fulfilled their duties as a shrine maiden, they are respected, and if you want to get something from the people, you must give the people the same thing."] ”】

- "Father, Tsuruko is going to study at the shrine."] ”】

- [Nagato Tsuruko agreed that after the autumn harvest, he officially entered the shrine to study with the Wasina shrine maiden and became a trainee shrine maiden.] The story gradually spread, and soon became a matter of discussion among the people of Wased. I heard that Nagato Tsuruko was about to become a trainee shrine maiden, and the children of the same age in the village began to gradually become estranged, and Nagato Tsuruko did not slip out later, but occasionally took out the bamboo knife that Nagato Saburo made for her and wiped it. 】

――[Before Nagato Tsuruko officially entered the shrine, there was a happy event in the Nagato family. Shinji Nagato has reached his age, and Shinji Nagato has arranged a family affair for him, and Shinji Nagato married Ah Xiu as his wife on the last day of September. According to the custom of Wase Village, the elders should give gifts and blessings before a woman gets married. Ah Xiu's parents were absent since he was a child, and he has been taking care of Nagato Tsuruko to grow up, so Narujin Chun took the place of Ah Xiu's parents and gave Ah Xiu a comb made of sandalwood. Nagato Tsuruko said that she also wanted to send something to Ah Xiu, but what could she give as a child of a few years old? Everyone thought she was just joking, even if she really sent something, it was not a valuable thing, but Ah Xiu was still very happy, after all, there is nothing more pleasing than being able to tie the knot after two loves. 】

- [What Ah Xiu didn't expect was that what Nagato Tsuruko gave her was actually the bamboo knife made by Nagato Saburo himself, and it was the night before the wedding. 】

When your future child grows up, give him the bamboo knife! Tell him that I have beaten the invincible opponents all over the village with this bamboo knife! Let him not embarrass my aunt!"]

――[Looking at the appearance of the little adult Nagato Tsuruko, Naruto Kazuru talked to her just now, and Ah Xiu, who didn't cry when she sorted out her dress, cried directly, because she knew that after the wedding, Nagato Tsuruko was going to the shrine on the mountain, and it would not be so easy to see her in the future, "Miss, Ah Xiu can't bear you!"

――["Ah Xiu is my sister!"]

......

- [Nagato Saburo was on the back left section of the road, carried the Nagato Tsuruko, walked for about three incense sticks, and finally ascended to the shrine, handed the Nagato Tsuruko to the hands of the Wase Shrine Maiden, and then silently nodded to the Wase Shrine Maiden, reincarnated and left. 】

- "What is that?" Nagato Tsuruko suddenly pointed to a stone statue in front of the shrine and asked, remembering that when she prayed for blessings on New Year's the year before, she didn't see the existence of this stone statue. 】

- [Wasina shrine maiden originally thought that Nagato Tsuruko would be reluctant to leave Nagato Saburo, and at least cry for a while, but she didn't expect Nagato Tsuruko to not only cry, but curiously looked around the shrine, and immediately praised it in her heart, and was even more happy, so she kindly introduced: "That's the dog god, the guardian spirit of my newly acquired shrine." ”】

- ["Inujin, guardian spirit?" Nagato Tsuruko walked in and looked. 】

- [Wase shrine maiden patted the stone statue at this time and called, "Come out, Inuyasha! From now on, you will be the guardian spirit of Nagato Tsuruko.] You will never abandon you in this life. ”】

- [The huge stone statue disappeared under a burst of brilliance, and was replaced by a young man wearing a fiery red robe, long hair, hairy ears and tail, but he looked like a very stinky fart, looked at Nagato Tsuruko coldly, and said disdainfully: "Dead old woman, just because of this little ghost who has no hair, you want to drive Uncle Ben to dream!"

- [The shrine maiden of Wasa had long expected that this dog god would be rebellious, and she didn't say anything, but directly put a chain of Buddhist beads around Inuyasha's neck, and then whispered something in Nagato Tsuruko's ear. 】

- ["Old woman, what are you bringing for me!"" Inuyasha intuitively felt that the chain on his body was very dangerous, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it off. 】

- ["Sit down!" Nagato Tsuruko said coldly at this time. 】

- [Inuyasha's whole body seemed to be pressed by the mountain, and he actually knelt down directly, and his sitting posture was still very straight, but his expression was surprised and strange, obviously this was not his intention.] 】

- "The witch-sama said that if you are disobedient, I can let you sit down!" Nagato Tsuruko looked at Inuyasha with a grin. 】

- [This little ghost...... Inuyasha thought hatefully, struggled to his feet, and scolded, "Dead little ghost!!!

- ["Sit down!"]

- ["Dead little ghost!!!I'll let you know Uncle Ben's ......"]

- ["Sit down!"]

――["Dead Little ......"]

- ["Sit down!"]

――["If you have the ability, you don't have to rely on this ......"]

- ["Sit down!"]

- [Later, Inuyasha changed back into the form of a stone statue and crouched in front of the shrine.] Speaking of which, Inuyasha, which has been transformed into a stone statue of the dog god, actually has some momentum to scare the demons, but if the knee position of this stone statue of the dog god is not particularly swollen. 】

"Dead Woman......" Chasing Wind shouted the name again uncontrollably, and when he met the young shrine maiden's gaze - he knew it was an instinctive reaction from his body.

Awakened to the greedy wolf star, Chasing Wind has an intuitive understanding of his possessed state. The real Inuyasha didn't die or anything, he was still in this body, but his own soul as a greedy wolf was too powerful for Inuyasha, but it completely suppressed him, and only when he was emotional, did he show a trace.

But at this moment, the demon fox turned into a Nagato crane ...... Mei Ji held the terrifying power hostage, directly past the young witch, appeared in front of Chasing Wind and the others, waved her hand, and the frightened thunder shot out, and at the same time shot towards Chasing Wind, Mo Xiaofei and Zixing!

The young shrine maiden's figure moved, waving her hand.

Mei Ji saw it in a flash, and took back Erix from Chasing Wind and Mo Xiaofei's side, and suddenly there was no thick barrier around her.

The young shrine maiden frowned at this.

"You...... Are you really Nagato Tsuruko?" Chasing Wind frowned, and a feeling of discomfort welled up in his heart. He wasn't sure if the half-demon dog Yasha in his body felt anything during the process of returning the memories between himself and Mo Xiaofei's eldest brother.

The young witch nodded directly, and her calm appearance was heart-wrenching. The young witch raised her hand at this time, and a blue light shot directly into Chasing Wind's body, and he didn't react to the extent that he had awakened the greedy wolf star.

"I didn't tell you that if you showed up again, I would kill you. The young shrine maiden stared at Inuyasha with no sorrow or joy, "You stupid dog demon, are you really not afraid of death?"

Chasing the wind bathed in the blue light, not only did he not have any discomfort, but he could also perceive a wonderful change in this body...... Get stronger!

"This ...... What have you done to me?"

"You'll soon be a real youkai, no longer a half-youkai. The young shrine maiden gave her an indifferent look, "Don't forget your promise to ask for a hundred great youkai, go ahead!"

As soon as the young witch raised her hand, a divine wind manifested, but it blew directly on the body of Chasing Wind and the others, and in an instant, the three of Chasing Wind, Mo Xiaofei, and Zixing were blown out of a distance of 100 meters, and there was no tendency to stop at all.

The young shrine maiden no longer looked at the disappearing figure, she looked at Mei Ji and said indifferently, "He is the Erix you call him?"
