Actually, I don't want to......

Standing on the high mountain steps, the mountain keeper held a bright lamp in his hand, and looked at the people at the foot of the mountain who were scurrying like headless flies, or youkai.

Although I returned to the mountain, I didn't expect that I still had to guard the mountain gate for others.

"Sister-sama, Sister Yamamori is like this, is it okay?"

"Hmph, what's the problem? Miss Ben is not a philanthropist, so why should she save her for nothing? Besides, 9 to 5, and there are rotational holidays, what else is she not satisfied with?"

The voice drifted far away, reaching the ears of Yamamori who had not gone far ahead, and her cheeks immediately turned half red.

She raised her hand and subconsciously touched her neck, the rope that had bound her had been removed, and in its place, an emerald green neck ring, the detachable kind.

I heard the witch say.,What's this called?,Uh,Shouya Shrine staff certificate.,The little fox also has one.,It's just that she's a bracelet.,As long as you wear it.,You can walk freely in the shrine shrouded in enchantment.。

And then there's ......

She lifted her free palm, and with a thought, a small whirlwind appeared in the palm of her hand.

This force ......

And the shrine maiden who gave her this power......

She thought of the day she first met, those leisurely flowing divine aura......

Therefore, the shrine maiden, she is, a human god......

I really didn't expect that the legend was true!

This kind of person really exists!

And even became mine, uh, boss?

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned upward, wanting to press down, but he didn't suppress it, ha, forget it, then laugh!

Light and cheerful laughter wafted in the wind and danced in the morning mist.

On the mountain steps, the footsteps of the deep snow, who was holding the little fox's hand and turning back to the shrine, suddenly paused, and looked back, a smile loomed on the corner of his lips.

Yo, isn't that fun?

Smile and shake your head, no longer paying attention.

……

The days at the shrine on the mountain are very dull and laid-back.

People who are active and playful may get bored and can't stand it.

Fortunately, although Shenxue doesn't like the silence of a person, as long as she is accompanied by someone, she will be satisfied.

The little fox has the love of the children and the believers who come every day, and the little life is quite nourishing.

Yamamori runs every day between the stone steps and mountains, enjoying the hard-won freedom, and has no leisure to experience the monotony of the days for the time being.

However, even if it is an ordinary life, there will be some interesting waves occasionally.

For example, today, Yamoru brought in a girl with glasses.

Short shoulder-length hair in dark brown, sailor suit, a standard high school girl, or a cadre-type kind.

Fresh and capable, with a very keen insight.

Although I was a little shocked when I saw the deep snow sitting on the roof of Moriya Shrine for the first time, I quickly adjusted my mood and showed a friendly smile.

"Hey, aren't you afraid?" asked Deep Snow with a little interest.

"Well, not afraid. The girl tilted her head and continued to laugh.

"Bah, youkai~~" Miyuki shouted as he pointed at the mountain guard.

"Well, this is a shrine. ”

"What if it's a cult?"

Deep Snow said intimidatingly.

"Poof"

The girl smiled even more happily.

"Sister, you're so funny. ”

Shenxue: "......", it's not good to look good, it can't scare people.

Deep Snow lay back down.

The girl took two steps back, tiptoed her head, and found that the deep snow could no longer be seen except for a corner of her clothes, so she stepped forward again and began to ring the bell to worship.

"Kami-sama, I hope that tonight's test of courage in the old school building will be a complete success, and that I will meet it......"

The girl closed her eyes, folded her hands, and prayed in her heart.

Shen Xue's expression was still leisurely, lying idly on the roof, but she removed the shield and listened to the girl's prayer word for word.

Moriya Shrine now has three gods, two mothers, and, herself.

To whom is the girl praying?

The deep snow reflected the sky, the smile in his eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled.

"...... you'll meet"

The girl who had already walked out of the shrine suddenly looked back, a little puzzled, just now, was someone talking to her?

The sun slowly sets, and the color of the sunset dyes the entire shrine.

With a broom in hand, the little fox who was cleaning the yard put down the broom and stretched his waist widely.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and wearing a mask on his head, Yamamori sat quietly on the wooden steps in front of the shrine, a lantern that had not yet been lit was placed at his side, waiting for the night to come.

The breeze slowly drifted down on the empty rooftops with a few fallen leaves, sprinkling a few patches of greenery.

The night is near.

In the mountains, all kinds of roars gradually began to sound.

The shrine at night belongs to youkai.

The night party has begun, why not have fun?

……

Deep snow rarely participates in the banquets of the monsters, and once in a while is fine, but if there are too many, she is afraid that she will get tired of it.

This is life, and it always has to be a little different.

Just like today, she came to experience life.

Dressed in the same sailor suit as the girls around them, feeling their anticipation of the test of courage and the fear and jealousy of the grotesque old school building, the tense atmosphere stimulated the body to tense, and the pounding heart made them feel high, and the fresh breath made the deep snow can't help but have an illusion...... How much younger does she seem to be?

The test of courage officially began.

Draw grouping.

The night breeze beats cheerfully, fulfilling one pair after another of excited ...... Girlfriends.

Deep Snow stroked her long hair with her fingers and ...... the daytime girl Huh? Wait...... That kid......

Deep Snow looked at it carefully with a little surprise, oh, it turned out to be this kid.

Once, she almost became her son's boy......

Huh, why is he here? It stands to reason that he shouldn't be here......

Deep Xue thought for a moment, came back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

“…… Damn, forgot about the dark box operation. ”

Then, with a total of 21 numbers, she just drew the first! two, ten, one!

In this regard, the corners of Shenxue's mouth twitched, and she just wanted to say a word...... hehe
