Chapter 32: The Shrine Where God Is Absent

"So, didn't I tell you about it - noisy forbidden. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

However, the girls who had been frightened did not listen at all, and made even more high-pitched noises while flapping indiscriminately.

It wasn't until they had vented all the air in their chests that they realized that no one had come along who could help them.

Obviously, it is not far from the starting point in a straight line, not to mention, I also met some high school students dressed as "yokai" along the way. But until now, they have not received the slightest response.

After yelling, the person's breathing becomes more intense and easier to observe due to the lack of oxygen.

"Smack!"

After mastering the rhythm of a few people's breathing, Qianyu grabbed the moment when everyone was exhaling and slapped it lightly.

The crisp sound instantly interrupted the quiet atmosphere that had just settled, and at the same time, because of this voice, the breath of all the little girls froze in an instant. At the same time, everyone's eyes turned

"That's ...... Not so good. ”

Chikaku said dryly, "It's going to anger the gods." ”

A faint owl sound could be heard in the quiet forest. To be honest, the environment would be so cooperative, even Qianyu himself didn't expect it.

In short, the atmosphere of the secluded forest climbed to a climax in an instant.

"Uh-hmm-"

The next wave of screams, which was still brewing, was suppressed by the girls by forcibly covering their mouths.

"Yes—that's right......"

Qianyu slowly walked in front of the little girls. This time, they lost even the courage to retreat. The strong fear of being implanted three times fermented in the hearts of the girls and turned into a shackle that they could not break free.

I'm shivering.

There's nothing wrong with that, though. Because they are able to rely on their excellent perception to have a hunch, the Thousand Trees will give them quite a bad experience.

Of course, in fact, Qianzhu did the same.

Although it is somewhat unreasonable to start with children, especially little girls...... It's nothing, it's just an extracurricular practice, and while punishing them, properly teaching them some awareness of avoiding disasters can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"But the gods are already angry—"

Stretched out his finger and lightly touched the forehead of the leading little girl. No, it would be more appropriate to say "thorn".

Gently prick it.

Because the fingertips are not sharp, there is no pain.

This kind of simple action, in some families with distorted personalities, the elder brother often does this to the younger brother.

It's just a gentle touch, and it doesn't hurt at all.

However, the moment the little girl was clicked, she suddenly felt a sharp feeling of dizziness, as well as a feeling of vomiting.

Burnout, weakness, fatigue...... Can't even struggle. In just an instant, the girl sat down on the ground, her hands weakly supporting her crumbling body, constantly retching to relieve her mental discomfort.

Of course, in the eyes of other elementary school students - it is literally "the punishment of the gods".

"The effect is very obvious."

Qian Yu withdrew her fingers and looked down at such a girl.

"You must be the kind of child who is very afraid of being punished."

The trembling body was barely shrunk into a ball, but neither the hands nor the feet, nor the body, were completely unable to move. The girl could only beg with pity for forgiveness.

The one used by Qianzhu is just a relatively out-of-the-way technology.

Stacking fear in the heart and then bursting out with one action is a method that multiplies the feeling of the person.

Therefore, this situation is actually completely due to their own "cooperation".

"However, in that case, it is not entirely fair to you."

Qianzhu gently wiped the little girl's head, and the temperature of the palm of her hand slightly eased the excessive tension of the sympathetic nerves. The most important thing is that after removing this heart anchor, her fear will slowly subside. The violent reaction of the body will naturally disappear.

When she was done, she looked up at the rest of the girls.

The little girls, who had been completely frightened, were huddled tightly together, unable to make any sound except whimpering.

I've come across a ghost story - at a test of courage.

"Well, then, choose one of yourselves, and stay with me to apologize to the gods and ask for forgiveness. As for the others, leave immediately. ”

A kind smile appeared on Chika's face for the first time.

Announcing the misfortune of one person.

For girls, it's undoubtedly the scariest smile in the world.

Okay, now it's time to think about it.

What kind of answer do you want to hand over?

“…… I'm sorry. ”

The crying apology faintly reached Qianyu's ears.

"If you want to go together, I won't stop you."

But what will happen is not something I can stop.

I guess that's what it means.

Therefore, children are really the best to deceive.

Looking at a few shoulders that were trembling violently because of fear, Chiba also felt a dark pleasure at the same time.

"Ten."

"Nine."

The cold voice began to count in boredom.

"Eight-"

"I'm sorry—Tsurumi."

The girl at the beginning buried her face and said tremblingly.

Unlike usual, this time the girl didn't take it for granted at all.

Because it's so scary.

“……”

Not just Tsurumi, in fact, no one responded to this proposal.

No one dared to respond.

Staying and being blamed, being left alone in a corner, and so on, even if you actually experience it, it will only be uncomfortable.

However, this time, it's the kind of terrifying experience that you may not even know if you can bear it.

I want to escape, I really want to escape.

However, the guilt that is equal to this shirking responsibility is just as strong.

Although it only feels like a little bit now—it's because excessive fear is encroaching on too much emotional experience. However, even so, the same amount of guilt can be impossible to ignore.

This is in front of the gods.

So, for the first time, they couldn't throw all their questions to Tsurumi as they usually did.
