"You're in good shape. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Dorothy, who was sitting on a stone on the side of the road, gasped for breath and was covered in fine sweat on her face.

"It's okay, after all, I've practiced. Tsukizakura, who was watching not far away, said, "Otherwise, Sister Sheila wouldn't have let me come." ”

Dorosi looked at the large pile of things that Tsukizakura was carrying—most of them were her own—and whispered, "Are all kids monsters nowadays?" ”

From the point of view of an ordinary person, carrying the luggage of the two of them for three hours on the mountain road, the whole process without any sense of fatigue and all the time alive, is already a very strong person - plus this person is a 13-year-old child - it is no wonder that Dolosi will feel that the years are not forgiving, she grew up in a mountain village, and now she is twisted because of walking on the most familiar mountain road.

Although it wasn't serious, it had to rest for a while, and during this time, Yueying was still running around restlessly, which really made Dorosi see the strength of the cultivator.

"Sister Dolosi, you used to live in this kind of place, it's so remote. "The mountain road at my foot was not so much a road as a simple flattening of the weeds, and though it was quite wide, there was no sign of how many people had walked from it—but in such a deep mountain there would be no one coming.

"It's because it's so remote that I ask you to help, and if it's in the city, I'll find someone at random. Dorosi tried to stand up and stomped her foot, "Let's go, I can do it." ”

Tsukizakura nodded, and opened the way in front, responsible for getting aside the weeds and branches that stood in the way, so that Dorosi could pass better.

Tsukizakura likes this environment very much, the air is very fresh, and the eyes are full of natural green, and the sound of his shoes stepping on dead leaves makes him even more happy, and even the dress he is wearing is pleasing to the eye.

Yes, Tsukizakura is wearing a dress now, and she has put on some light makeup to make him look more girlish, but no one will treat him as a boy in the first place, but in order for the task to be completed successfully, Dorosi can only turn Tsukizakura into a power-enhanced version so as not to show her stuffing.

"It should ...... No problem. "Even though she had made up her mind, Dorothy would still be afraid, afraid that she would show her own strengths—because what she was going to do this time was outright deception.

The town where Dorosi was born, located in the mountains north of Silskar City, is a relatively large village with less than 10,000 people, and because of the lack of communication with the outside world, this town has developed its own customs and traditions, which outsiders neither know nor understand, even Sheila is only when Dorothy came to the door, only to know that there is such a small town in Silskall.

Dorosi's commission is related to the traditions of this town.

In other places, there are some celebrations on New Year's Day, but in this tradition, known as Eternal Night, the actual date of the New Year's celebration is January 4th, and in addition to the celebrations held in other towns, Eternal Night Town has a special ritual - the witch dance, which is held in the evening.

For some reason, the only shrine maidens who can participate in the ceremony can be young girls between the ages of 12 and 15, which was not a problem in the past when the town was well populated, but since the development of Slskar, it has been different.

Everyone has the right to pursue a new life, and as time has passed, this backward town has been unable to retain the younger generation of population due to its slow development, and most of them have moved out, leaving only some old people who are unwilling to leave here and still cling to their homes. And the blessing ceremony, which is originally very important, is also difficult to find a suitable girl to serve as a shrine maiden for the ceremony.

In recent years, the prayer ceremony has been suspended for many years because all the young people have moved away. Dorothy knew that although the grandparents who stayed there didn't say anything, they were actually eager to see the dance of the shrine maiden again, because it was tradition, and what the old people cared about most was tradition.

"So, I wanted to find a girl to do one last dance so that the grandparents in the town would have no regrets. This is what Dorothy said when explaining the assignment to Sheila.

"But why did you let the captain come? It's just a teenage girl, so it's easy to find. The wrench raised questions.

"Yes, yes, for example, Satsuki is more suitable than me!"

Sheila looked at Lan Yue, who was shrinking her head, expressionlessly, and said, "I talked to Xiao Yue, she can't dance. ”

Tsukizakura and Wrench glared at Blue Moon at the same time, and the latter said embarrassedly, "I can sing, but ...... Just because you can sing doesn't mean you can dance!"

"But neither will I!"

"You're a cultivator, if you want to start from scratch, it's easier for you to learn than Satsuki. Sheila explained, "And the town where Dorosi lives is a very remote place, would you like to let her go alone?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find anyone, I wouldn't want to entrust you. Dorothy's attitude was very high, it really didn't look like a please's attitude, "Anyway, Sheila has accepted this commission, you should have professionalism, right?"

Then, because of this professionalism, Tsukizakura was forced to run away with Dorosi into the mountains, and she also put on a small skirt now with her professionalism.

Fortunately, it's winter, so there aren't many body parts exposed, otherwise Tsukizakura wouldn't have agreed to wear a skirt.

"Sister Dolosi, how long is it left?"

"It should ...... Just walk through the front and there. ”

"You've said that three times. ”

Tsukizakura stepped out disapprovingly, and then he felt the soothing wind.

A large circular valley appeared in front of Tsukizakura's eyes, like a bowl, and around the bowl were scattered houses and fields, in which a circular path was shuttled, and a small river divided the valley in two, like long chopsticks at the bottom of the bowl. Not far from the moon cherry blossoms, there was a sign with words written on it, and underneath that sign, an old man was sitting. When he saw Tsukizakura and Doroshi, the old man stood up and waved at them.

"Ah, here it is. Dorothy, who came up, said.

To Yueying's surprise, the old man who came to greet him turned out to be the mayor of Eternal Night Town, but looking at his appearance, Yueying couldn't tell that this was a mayor.

It's just a very common old man.

"Oh, little Dolosi, you really found a girl who is willing to help, it's really hard for you. Although the mayor looks old, he has a lot of strength, and he walked briskly with the luggage of the two of them without even taking a breath.

"Well, it's hard to find someone who is qualified and willing to come here, but it's good to be in time. Dorothy said, "Grandma, are they all right?"

"Yes, of course, they knew you were coming, and they had been packing up for a long time! Now the meal is about to be ready, just waiting for you to come!" The wrinkles on the mayor's face were unfurled, like freshly blooming flowers.

On both sides of the road are either houses or small fields that are scattered like fragments, and because it is winter, there are no people working in the fields now, and Tsukizakura only occasionally sees a few old people gathering together to play cards, which seems to be very leisurely.

However, not to mention young people, even slightly older middle-aged people have not been seen, all of them are sixty or seventy years old.

Have they all moved away?

At last they reached the bottom of the valley, beside a hut by the river, where the atmosphere was slightly different, with tall trees and a large open space that would have been used to make fields in other places.

"What kind of place is this?" Tsukizakura looked at the wooden house, always a little strange.

"This is the shrine of this town, and it has no name...... But everyone calls it the Eternal Night Shrine, and we've been living here for the past few days. ”

An old woman came out of the shrine, wearing an apron as if she was cooking.

"Grandma cooks and everything, we just need to be trained strictly. ”

"Training, training what?"

"Wu Wu, it's only half a month before the ceremony, you have to be conscious. ”

Yueying was speechless for a moment, and even the old woman came to touch his face with a warm smile and didn't react.

"Dancing...... Something. Tsukizakura touched her skirt and stopped talking.
