Chapter 135: A Stranger from Outside
December 29, 12 p.m
"Sanae, aren't you going to eat out today?" came a classmate's inquiry
"No, I'm going back to the shrine today," she replied gently
"Go back to the shrine? But isn't your shrine far from the school? Can you catch up with class in the afternoon? β
"Ah, I'm going to take a leave of absence in the afternoon.,There's a distinguished guest at the shrine today.,I have to go to the reception" She put her hands together apologetically, "Please.,Lend me a note tomorrow and copy it"
"I really can't help you, forget it, after all, Sanae is not easy for you, so see you tomorrow" The classmate waved his hand and left the school with the others
"Tomorrow, maybe it's more than that," she shook her head, then turned to take a taxi
Her name is Sanae Dongdonggu, she is in high school, she didn't go to a prestigious school, just a private high school at the foot of the mountain, she is beautiful, and she is also considerate, she is not only a student, but also a wind wish
Shouya Shrine,One of the three main halls that used to guard Ise Jingu,After the destruction of Ise Jingu,Shouya Shrine was also transferred to the mountain,Usually the incense is good,But Sanae doesn't know whether to be happy.,The East Wind Valley family only has one of her eldest daughters.,Her father died shortly after she was born.,Mother also died in an accident when she was eight years old.,The huge shrine is left for her to take care of alone.,So she hasn't been criticized less in her studies.
(And there was also the recent incident) Sanae clenched her hand.,Shouya Shrine was stolen recently.,The artifact Yaga Mirror was stolen by a ghost.,This made Shouya Shrine's reputation drop significantly.,It was almost not forced to close.,And as a manager, she also received a lot of blame.,Even threatened.,After all, putting the Yaya Mirror in the shrine for safekeeping is a supreme honor and trust.,As a result, he was.
(How can I continue like this, the great deeds created by my ancestors will be buried in my hands) She suddenly wanted to cry, but she gritted her teeth and held back
After allγI'm the wind of Shouya Shrine.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ dividing line of the shrine
"Ah, Sanae? Why did you come back at noon? The girl in the strange hat was surprised
"It just so happened that I wanted to tell you later" The woman with the grass circle behind her took a sip of wine, "Sit down, there are guests today"
"Guest?" Sanae was a little surprised: "Will the two adults have friends too?" β
"It's rude, we have friends too" The girl stood up "but they're all dead"
"Suwako, there's no need to talk about this kind of thing" The woman also stood up "Sanae, go change your clothes, the clothes on your body are really ugly"
"The sailor suit is obviously very good-looking," Sanae muttered
"Whatever it is, change into a shrine maiden costume, the shrine is temporarily closed today" The woman glanced at the outside of the shrine "Hmph, the faith in these people is pitiful, it's boring"
"Yes, understood," Sanae nodded, and headed for the backyard
"Kanako" Suwako shook the flask, "What the ghost said, do you really stop thinking about it?"
"No need, I promised" Kanako narrowed her eyes "Why don't you go"
"I don't want to look at other people's faces anymore," Suwako glanced at Nako
"Ahhh I'm still thinking about the past," Kanako laughed and said, "Don't worry, I want to see which of them dares to order you and me, what the hell is him, what a demon"
"If you dare to disobey us, let them die!"
"Yes, yes," Suwako poured two bowls of wine, "when are you going to leave?"
"Today, I'll leave in two hours" Kanako took the wine bowl "Suwako, get ready"
"Well, it was done half a month ago" Suwako took a sip of wine, "But what about Sanae's side, we're fine, but Sanae also has her own life here"
Kanako fell silent
"Let her make her own decisions," Kanako sighed after a long time, "This child is hard enough, we can't let our temperament come anymore"
"What are we going to do if we don't say yes?" Suwako tilted her head and said
"There's no way around that, I can only go" Kanako drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp "Sanae is our spokesperson, and the two of us can't do anything without her, not even leaving this mountain"
"After all, it's a god.,It's inconvenient to not have a spokesperson" Suwako doesn't care "I'm used to changing places, whatever you want"
"What are you doing today, you always mention things from thousands of years ago" Kanako said dissatisfied, "If you don't want to, you don't want to, it's a big deal to do it separately"
"What will you do if I leave you? Won't you be fooled around by them?" said Suwako, laughing
"Cut, you can't do without me, you can't beat anyone without me, don't forget, what miserable you were when you fought that ghost"
"Nonsense! If it weren't for the reluctance to wake Sanae, I'd lose to a ghost?! β
"Anyway, you are weaker than me, or you wouldn't have been occupied by me a thousand years ago"
"That's what I'm happy to, do you have any doubts? Kanako? β
"No, no, you're amazing, Suwako" Yasaka Kanako, Leak Yaya Suwako, these two people are the two gods enshrined in the Shouya Shrine, and they are strong people who are above ordinary humans, but in fact, this kind of thing is not unusual, there were once nine hundred and ninety-nine gods living in the Ise Shrine, and for a shrine, if the gods inside can reveal their true bodies, it will be the best praise for the shrine, and the two gods in the Shouya Shrine are still good-tempered, and they will clean up for Sanae when they are fine, Cook a meal or something, but that's also a rare case, and Kanako's cooking really can't be eaten
Sanae took off her sailor costume and changed into a blue and white shrine maiden costume, so the guests of the two adults must be very noble, right?
I want to call my friends, too
A moment later
"I'm sorry, Kanako-sama, Suwako-sama, it's taken too long to cleanse," Sanae said hurriedly as she came from the backyard
"Yo, little girl, the two of us meet again" Cuixiang shook the flask, "The clothes are good"
"Kanako-sama, what is this?" Sanae asked with a disbelieving tilt of her head
"Oh, she's a guest" Kanako looked indifferent "Don't be surprised, sit down, the shrine door is closed"
"Is it off?" Sanae looked at the idol, "Ah, what's wrong with the deadbolt?" β
"We accidentally overexerted ourselves," Cuixiang smiled, "I'm sorry, we'll help you reinstall one later"
"What the hell is going to close the door? This, this is unlucky! Sanae panicked, "What should I do if people see it?!" β
"Whatever" Kanako took a sip of wine, "We don't care about this, Sanae, don't make such a fuss"
"Kanako is right, Sanae, sit down, we have something to say to you" Suwako walked over to Sanae and motioned for her to sit down
"What I'm going to say to you next is important," Kanako began, "we're getting out of here."
"Leave? If you're going to change the location of the shrine, I'll go with Mr. Abe tomorrow."
"No, it's not his business," Cuixiang interjected, "The place you are going to is not the world, it is the place where we live, Gensokyo"
"Gensokyo" Sanae was surprised and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it"
"We don't have it either, but it's full of spiritual power there, and it's suitable for the three of us to live" Kanako and Suika clink glasses, "Sanae, are you going?"
"Is this easy to get around? Sanae asked, "If it's convenient to get around."
"Oh, if it's about whether you can come to the world" Suika shook her head and said, "No, it's not allowed to come out there"
"What" Sanae's eyes widened "can't come out?" Prison? β
"No, anyway, you can't come back here after you get to Gensokyo" Cuixiang put down the flask, "But don't worry, it's no different from the human world, at most, the area is a little small"
"No! How can there be such a strange place that is not black and white! Kanako-sama! You," Sanae was shouting, but she saw that Kanako and Suwako were already silent
"My lord, are you?" Sanae said in disbelief
"Sanae, because your strength is still relatively weak, there are some things you don't know" Kanako said lightly, "There are very few people who really believe in us now"
"But the incense in the shrine"
"That's just the surface," Suwako said, "faith is not something that can be sent out with incense money."
"We are gods who live by faith, and the less faith we have, the weaker we become" Kanako sighed, "Now that the strength of me and Suwako has begun to decline, otherwise we wouldn't have lost the artifact"
"Ahaha! No, the strength of the two of them makes us really admire" Cuixiang laughed and said, "If it weren't for taking care of this little girl, I'm afraid that just that bit of coercion would have scared us."
"What are you kidding, the famous ghost king will be afraid of a little coercion?" Suwako straightened the brim of her hat, "Do you want to try it again?" β
"Suwako, okay, the ghost is like this" Kanako stopped "Sanae, keep listening, now the faith of humans is not enough for us to continue to live, so we have to go to another Pure Land, and Gensokyo is that Pure Land"
"In other words, Kanako-sama and Suwako-sama have already decided," Sanae said softly
"Sanae, the two of us respect your decision, are you going or not?" Suwako couldn't bear to say, "If you don't go, we'll stay here"
"I" Sanae didn't know how to answer, she knew how important faith was to the two adults, but
βββ but I'm a human being
She has her own life outside, her own friends, and her own affairs, and if she goes to that kind of place, won't she be able to turn back? Aren't you going to give up everything you have now?
"Well, your name is Sanae Dongfenggu," said Suika, standing up
"Yes, do you have any advice?" Sanae asked, nodding
"We're just an outsider, so it's not easy to interject" Cuixiang drank a pot of wine fiercely, "But ah, what you want to do has nothing to do with others, just say it out loud if you want to say it, no one can dominate the mind"
"That's all, we'll stay in the mountains today, and if you're decided, tell us that as long as you put a pot of wine, we'll be there right away" Cuixiang laughed and walked out, "Come on, little girl"
"So Sanae, do you want to go with the two of us?" Suwako asked softly, "It's okay, the two of us respect your decision"
"I'm sorry, Suwako-sama, I want to go back to my room and think about it," Sanae said slowly
"Go ahead, Suwako and I will be waiting here before twelve o'clock," Kanako said
"Yes," Sanae bowed, and walked to the backyard
"Kanako, it seems that Sanae is very reluctant" Suwako frowned, "I'm afraid Sanae won't agree"
"That's also something that can't be helped," Kanako blinked, "Speaking of which, Suwako, humans should be going to worship the early years soon."
"That's right, it's been almost a year, and the human race is estimated to have already started to prepare" Suwako suddenly remembered something, "Oh, you mean that family"
"yes, I think I'm going to worship at this time," Kanako thought, "The family is very faithful."
"Well, it's useless to be just a family."
"Too"
(Suddenly said what to go to Gensogo Kamiko-sama is always so whimsical) Sanae faded into a shrine maiden costume, and then she wore it inside. Yi fell on the bed and thought, she is a human god, that is, a human being who holds a godhead, and naturally understands the importance of faith to the gods, but all this came too suddenly, and she was not prepared at all
"What should I do" Sanae hugged the pillow tightly, she was brought up by two adults, Suwako and Kanako, and her parents died early, and she almost became a qualified wind with the help of the two of them, and now the two adults need themselves, and they should help them
"I don't understand," Sanae said softly, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
"By the way, give her a call" Sanae stood up and pulled her phone out of her bag, if it was her, she should be able to give herself good advice
"Hello, who are you looking for?" A gentle woman's voice came over the phone
"Ah, sorry, that, I'm here to find it"
"Oh, I'm sorry, she didn't come back at noon today, and she forgot her phone at home, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Oh no, thank you"
"If you have something to say, if you don't dislike it, I'll listen to it instead of her, then the child will definitely listen."
"No! I'm embarrassed about that," I don't know why, but when I hear her voice, I feel relieved
"It's okay~ Auntie promises not to tell anyone ~"
"Ah, aren't you a sister?"
"I'm a mother, you kid, your mouth is so sweet~"
"But your voice is so young"
"Really? Thank you~"
"Can that really be said?"
"It's okay, let's talk about it"
"I'm a shrine maiden (Kazeju) and now I'm going to reopen the shrine somewhere else, but I don't want to leave here, sounds naΓ―ve, right? But I have friends, I have a life, I have my own space, but the other people at the shrine are very nice to me, and I don't want to leave them behind, I don't know what to do."
"Let me tell you a little story, I used to be a shrine maiden, and I faced the same choice as you."
"Really?" Sanae was taken aback
"Well, it's true, I was already a college student at the time, and I was in a relationship with a very good man, and the shrine was also very famous, and I was a very famous person myself with these two factors."
"Then one day someone asked me if I would like to go to another place to be a shrine maiden, that place is far away, it is very likely that I will not be able to get out for the rest of my life, I decisively refused at that time, my life is very rich, my friends are very kind, my lover loves me very much, why should I go anywhere?"
"But they need me, they need me more than here, and without me here, there are only a few people who are sad, and without me there, hundreds of people have lost their lives."
"I hesitated, to go, or not to go? Then my beloved opened his mouth and he told me"
"If you think it's the right thing to do, do it, no one can interfere with your decision"
"So I followed my own ideas, I came to a new environment, and chose to start again, you should be the same age as I was at the time, then do what you wanted, I don't want you to regret it, I don't want you to miss anything, I can only say good luck"
"Did you finally come back?"
"Of course, after about four or five years, he brought it back."
"He? Is it your lover? β
"yes, he's very brave, just break in, grab my hand and leave."
"Thank you and goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Click" Sanae turned off her phone, and then fell silent
"Don't regret it, don't miss it," Sanae muttered to herself softly, and then took a deep breath, "It's decided!" For the power of Kanako and Suwako-sama! For the survival of adults! β
"No, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley! Will definitely try! β
The shrine nave
"Heh, what an obedient and good boy" Kanako wiped the corners of her eyes, "Suwako, you must protect this stupid child"
"You don't need to say more, Kanako" Suwako lowered the brim of her hat a little, "Rest assured, no matter who it is, as long as you dare to touch a hair of our family, I will take his life"
"Yes," Kanako laughed and said, "What Yakumo Purple is, what kind of wind is Yuuka, in front of our Shouya Shrine"
"All of them are worthy of surrender!"
postscript
"Purple, we've succeeded" Cui Xiang leaned against the branch and drank a pot of wine as soon as she raised her head, "They have already started to prepare"
"Thank you, Cuixiang"
"With the friendship between the two of us, we don't need this kind of thanks, just prepare some banquets for us"
"No problem~"
"Did you choose the location?"
"Yokai Mountain, it's the perfect place to go"
"That's right, let's go back."
"Of course, those two gods are not petty goods, and there will definitely be some trouble."
"Let's go this time, the guys from the outside world are too cowardly, and none of them can fight"
"Don't worry, you'll be there"
"Thank you very much, Purple"
"Suika, have you seen her?"
"No, where is the Jieyun family so easy to enter, don't mention the mountain road first, just the one guarding the door is a little hanging"
"Yes, I want to thank her this time."
"I understand, after all, the experience is exactly the same, speaking of purple, why did you choose here?"
"Change, you can think like this"
"Heh, I think about something far away all day long, forget it, let's go, and we don't need to monitor the rest."
"Well, come back, Aka"
"Well, it's back, Purple"
(After this mutation passes, the plan should start the first step) Yakumo Zi closed her eyes (she has already realized something, and she must quickly solve this matter before the matter is exposed, Yuyuko and I are friends, she will definitely come, Suzuka can't let her go this time, Yuka is the same)
(The rest of the monsters?) The other party's combat power is too huge, especially the Forever Pavilion, Penglai Mountain Kauha will definitely not ignore it, and Fujiwara Meihong may also come to help him I'm sorry, but for Gensokyo)
(Please die, Yukumo Chong)
