Chapter 82: The Ugly Statue

At first, Tsukizakura thought that it wasn't a problem to just wear a few more clothes, but when she actually put them on, Tsukizakura began to seriously consider how to kill the person who designed the dress - not to mention that this witch costume is simply a design that makes it difficult to walk, and only the skirt is the kind of light and fluttery structure with only one layer, and it is easy to walk away if you don't pay attention- It took a long time for Sakura to be indignant that he remembered that this dress was an antique made hundreds of years ago, and this frustration that he couldn't repay his revenge made him make frequent mistakes in the morning, either he couldn't step on the beat, or his movements were too stiff, and in the end, Dorosi really had no choice but to announce his rest.

"I know it's hard to move in a shrine maiden costume, but it doesn't have to be so bad?"

Tsukizakura, who knew that she was wrong, lowered her head and pruned her mouth.

In fact, in addition to the fact that the shrine maiden costume is very laborious and difficult to move, Tsukizakura is more concerned about whether she will break this antique because of her too big movements. Although it has been repaired, this witch costume is indeed beautiful, not to mention that Tsukizakura is a boy, and it is always a little stressful to wear a shrine maiden costume that is supposed to be a woman's costume.

"Oh, little Dolosi, don't put too much pressure on this girl, didn't you always practice well back then, and you cried your nose. ”

Yueying was startled and looked outside, this shrine is open, and there is no entrance or anything like that, as long as you open the sliding door, it is a courtyard, and it is very simple for anyone who wants to come in, and now they are watching them with kind eyes, it is the grandfather of the mayor who has just paced in.

The mayor's grandfather is said to be in his sixties, but his body is still very good, although he is not as muscular as Uncle Marcos, but he can also walk like the wind like a young man, which is very admirable.

"Grandpa!"

The mayor's grandfather approached, pointed at Dolosi and said, "Sakura has only been here for a few days, don't scare people away, it's hard to have a young man come here to play, I won't agree!"

"That, I'm not leaving......" Because this is a task commission, the consequences will be miserable if you run away.

The mayor's grandfather gave a thumbs up, "Be ambitious!

"Okay, okay, what are you doing here, what are you doing here, if it's okay, hurry home and don't disturb our practice!"

"Of course I'm here for something, do you know what day it is?"

"Huh, isn't it December 31st?"

The mayor's grandfather smiled and said nothing, putting on a "think again" look.

Then Dorothy remembered something, and opened her mouth wide in annoyance.

"Hurry up, change your clothes and let's go!"

"Ahh

"Go and worship the water...... Wait, I don't have anything ready yet!"

The mayor of the town took out a bucket from his back like a magic trick, and there were large bags and small bags in it, all of which were things that Yue Sakura didn't know was of any use, but Dorosi saw it at a glance, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, you are ready, just say it early!"

"It's not to give you a long memory, obviously I'm not very reliable. Seeing that Dorosi's face was about to turn black again, the mayor's grandfather hurriedly put the bucket on the ground, and quickly slipped away, waving his hand.

The so-called worship of water is to worship the water source in the same way as the name suggests.

The town of Eternal Night is located in the middle of a valley, and only a small river that is not very large flows through the valley, so this small river becomes the most important source of water for the town, and then the deification and worship of natural things that often occurred in ancient times. In fact, the deity enshrined at the Eternal Night Shrine is the water god of the river.

It is a pleasant thing to go up along the river, there are paths on both sides of the river that can be walked, it is not difficult to walk, and the pleasant sound of flowing water is accompanied by the ears, which can be described as enjoyment.

There are also some small fields on both sides of the river, and although the yield is not high, it is better than nothing, and if you are from the city, you will probably be very happy.

It's just that Tsukizakura doesn't enjoy it very much now, and although he has changed into a shrine maiden costume, he is still wearing a girl's clothes - in short, it is still the kind of light and fluttering skirt.

Tsukizakura didn't understand why girls wore skirts in winter, the wind would blow in from the bottom of the skirts, even though he was wearing stockings now, and both legs were cold. Grandma Lena was worried that Tsukizakura would freeze and get sick like this, but Dorosi insisted that Tsukizakura wear it because she had to reflect Tsukizakura's feminine side.

"Since they're all pretending to be girls, you have to be dedicated!" As soon as the word dedication came out, Yueying had no choice but to do it.

Even if you are a cultivator, you will still be cold when you should be cold, especially your thighs when you wear women's clothes.

"Why are you wearing this now, there's no one else here. ”

"Be careful, although there are very few people in the town, but—" Dorothy suddenly waved his hand in one direction, "there are still a lot of older people here. ”

Tsukizakura looked in that direction, it was an old man wearing a hat and working on the edge of the field, because of his short stature and the relationship between the elderly, Tsukizakura didn't find out.

Although Tsukizakura has some very sharp instincts, it is only useful for enemies with strong or threatening powers, and characters with non-threatening and low magic powers, such as the elderly and children, are almost impossible to spot.

"Got it? Maybe some grandpa will suddenly run out, and the whole town will know when the time comes. ”

“…… All right. ”

The further you go, the more difficult the path becomes, and it can be seen that no one usually passes by this road, but it is understandable that there are no houses here, and there are fewer and fewer fields visible to the naked eye, so no one will walk this way except hunters.

After all, if you are too far away from the settlement, the chance of encountering monsters will increase, and few people will risk their lives to run to such a wilderness.

I don't know if it was a few hours of walking, and when the sun wasn't so warm, Dorosi finally stopped.

This is where the two tributaries meet, the water is shallow and slow, and the sound of running water is barely audible, and on the bank of the river where the two tributaries meet, there stands something that looks like a statue, and that is supposed to be the statue of the water god worshipped at the Eternal Night Shrine. Tsukizakura's eyesight is good, and when she saw the appearance of the god, she blurted out a sentence of "It's ugly!"

"Strange looking, isn't it?" "The first thing Dorothy said after the water arrived at the statue was this, "When I was a child, I thought how could such an ugly thing be a god, but now that I'm older, I feel pretty good." ”

"Really?" Yue Ying carefully looked at the appearance of the statue, by the standards of ordinary people, this statue of the god of water is indeed not very good-looking, in addition to the distorted facial features, the limbs like earthworms are even more uncomfortable, and there are some strange markings on the stomach, basically it is not impossible to use the word ugly to describe it, and I don't know if it is intentional or the relationship between the technology in ancient times is not in place.

Or is there really a water god, and it really looks like this?

"That'...... What to do?"

"First of all, clean the idol. Dorothy pulled out a rag and a small scythe from the bucket, "You do it." ”

Because of its proximity to the water, the idol was wet and sticky to the touch, and there were tiny mosses growing at the base of the idol, and if you looked closely, there were shellfish - God knows how long no one had cleaned the idol, it was a god, but no one cared about it.

But it's a wilderness to come to this place, and there's already a shrine in the town, so it's normal for no one to come here.

Wipe the surface of the idol, remove the moss and shells, and cut off the grass around it, and the cleaning work is complete, and although the cleaned idol looks fresh, the ugly appearance has not improved in any way.

Is there really anyone to worship such a god?

No, now I'm the one to worship.

"It's okay if you don't have to kneel, so you don't get wet, just stand. Dorosi lit a handful of incense and handed it to Tsukizakura, "Four bows, then inserted the incense. ”

Tsukizakura did as he was told, and although he didn't believe in God, he showed a little awe out of professionalism.

Dorothy lit a handful of rune paper, and when it was almost burned, she threw it into the sky, chanting words in her mouth. Tsukizakura didn't know what she was doing, but in Tsukizakura's own thoughts, it was a little strange to light a fire in front of the god of water - after all, water and fire were incompatible.

After burning all the rune paper in the bucket, Dorosi bowed to the idol before saying, "Alright, let's go back." ”

"That's it?"

"Otherwise, do you think it's going to be complicated? It's just a matter of worshipping, just having this heart. Dorothy stretched, "I'm going to keep practicing when I go back, you're not familiar with it enough!"

"Oh...... Good. ”

Tsukizakura's gaze lingered on the idol for a moment, and just as he was about to leave, a strange laugh suddenly rang out in his head.

[Poor ...... Genie. ]

Tsukizakura stopped, turned her head suspiciously, and looked at the idol again, the latter was the same as before, there was no change - just a statue carved out of stone, no change is normal.

"Tsukizakura, let's go?" urged Dorothy, who had already reached the shore.

"Oh! here it is!" Tsukizakura hurriedly responded, and then immediately muttered in a low voice, "Don't come out if there's nothing to do!"

Naturally, no one responded to this sentence, like a stone sinking into the sea.
