Chapter 1: Sisters of the Shrine Maiden
Yae Village, a small village in the Shinano region, has the cruel custom of sacrificing people. In this year, www.biquge.info there was no rain in the village for a long time, and the villagers thought that this was a manifestation of the gods' anger and condemnation of their crimes, so they asked for a sacrifice of the precious and pure blood of the shrine maiden as a sacrifice to appease the anger of the gods, and the village chief agreed to this request.
There are two people in the witch bloodline of this generation, they are a pair of sisters, the elder sister is called Sakura, and the younger sister is called Rin. It was her sister Rin who was chosen as the sacrifice, and Sakura, the sister of the shrine maiden, was in charge of presiding over the sacrifice.
Sakura was certainly reluctant to kill her sister with her own hands, however, even if they were shrine maidens, they could not change everyone's decision and disobey the orders of the village chief. The only thing they could do was to escape, to escape from Yae Village. The two little sisters fled during the night. The next day, the villagers were furious when they found the two having escaped. In their opinion, it is their honor to be able to become a sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the gods, and the two of them do not cherish this rare opportunity, and dare to run away, which is not only disrespectful to the gods, but also an irresponsible performance, as a person from Yae Village, they must have the consciousness of giving everything for Yae Village, and exchanging their lives for the wind and rain of Yae Village is the greatest value of the sacrifice.
Angry villagers raised torches, weapons and farm tools, and roamed the mountains in search of the two little sisters. They swore that when they captured the two sisters, they would lock her up and break her tendons so that they would never be able to escape.
In the mountains south of Yae Village, two little girls are gritting their teeth and supporting each other as they struggle to move forward. Yae Rin was frail and sickly, and such an escape was too much of a burden for her. Yae Rin is in better health because of sword training, but she has to carry luggage and take care of her sister, and the burden is greater than that of Yae Rin. The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk. The two sisters walked for a day and a night, and they didn't go far. Not long ago, they had seen their captors from a distance, and they were terrified. Fortunately, they were far away and hid in time, so the villagers did not find them.
Although they haven't been caught yet, the two little girls know that their captors have already chased them here, and it won't be long before they catch up and catch them.
Rao is like this, and Yae Sakura has not considered giving up. She had agreed with her sister that the two of them would escape Yae Village, go to a safe place, find a doctor to cure Rin's illness, and then go to see the cherry blossoms together and live happily together・・・・・・
But her younger sister Yae Rin's thoughts are different from her sister Yae Sakura, and she knows that she is slowing down the speed of travel. If I didn't have myself, my sister would have been able to escape smoothly. The idea of giving up had already sprung up in her heart, and she wanted to stay and let her sister escape alone. The village needs only one sacrifice, as long as she goes back, the villagers may let her sister go・・・・・・ she once wanted to open her mouth, let her sister let go of herself, but every time she saw her sister's persistent expression, she couldn't open her mouth.
Yae Rin was struggling, but Yae Sakura suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, sister?" she asked in her own peculiar soft, soft, weak, brittle voice.
"There's ・・・・・・ guy up ahead. "Yae Sakuramichi. Compared to Yae Rin, her voice has a more girlish flavor.
Yae Rin looked over. As Yae Sakura said, there is a person in front. The man was dressed in white, and he didn't look simple. As for what he looked like, whether he was male or female, whether he was alive or dead, he did not know, because the man was lying on the ground, motionless.
"It's not going to be dead. Yae Rin said with some fear.
The two little sisters mustered up their courage, went up to the man, turned him over, and found that it was a very handsome young man. His eyes were closed, his face was as white as paper, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Yae Sakura probed his snort.
"Alive. She said.
Yae Rin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to be alive." ”
Yae Sakura also nodded: "Yes, it's good to be alive." Then she picked up Yae Rin and continued walking.
"Sister, don't we care about him?" asked Yae Rin.
"We can't protect ourselves now, where can we control others. He's not dead anyway, maybe he'll wake up on his own after a while. Yae Sakura said as she dragged Yae Rin forward.
"But, however, it is dangerous for him ・・・・・・ faint alone in such a place, and there are many dangerous things in the mountains, and if he does not care about it, he will probably be eaten by wild beasts or monsters while he is unconscious. Yae Rin said worriedly.
Unbeknownst to the two sisters, all the beasts and monsters in the vicinity had dispersed. The moment this man appeared in this world, the nearby fierce beasts and monsters all felt a great horror. This instinctive sense of crisis drives them away from the place. Now, all that was left were harmless critters, and these critters couldn't yet sense the danger emanating from the man's body.
The two sisters have a disagreement on the issue of this man, the younger sister insists on helping him, but the older sister is worried about being chased by the villagers and wants to escape as soon as possible. In the end, my sister failed to beat my sister.
After knowing that she couldn't change her sister's mind, her sister changed her approach.
"Let's go fast. She said.
Yae Sakura dragged the man under a nearby tree and made him sit up with his back against the trunk. The younger sister crouched in front of the man and stretched out her hands to him. Her hands glowed softly white. Yae Sakura looked at her sister with some envy, as shrine maidens, they were born with spiritual power in their bodies, but the talents of the two were different, the younger sister was very talented in healing spells, while she was good at ice spells and kendo.
Yae Rin's healing technique is very magical, in the past, the villagers had any minor injuries and illnesses, and Yae Rin treated them. But today, her healing skills seemed to be out of order, and no matter how hard she tried, the man kept his eyes closed and showed no sign of waking up.
Yae Rin refuses to give up and works hard to maintain her healing technique. With the consumption of spiritual power, fine beads of sweat oozed from her head.
Yae Sakura was getting more and more anxious: time had been delayed for too long—just as she was thinking.
"Found them!!" a shout was heard. Yae Sakura heard the owner of the voice, it was a hunter in the village. Not long ago, Orion went into the mountains to hunt and was bitten by a wild beast, which was healed by his own sister. However, when the villagers decided to kill Yae Rin as a sacrifice, Orion not only did not object, but also brazenly said that Yae Rin had helped everyone so much in the past, and he would definitely be willing to help everyone this time to calm the anger of the gods.
