？ Month?? Day, two o'clock in the afternoon "Although it is a small village, but it is not so bad" Chong casually looked at the scenery around the village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is indeed a good place

"That's a faux pas, but Hinamizawa is one of Japan's leading rural tourist destinations," Rika Furute said proudly

"It's no bad for me in the city and outside the city" is true, if the city is as quiet as the suburbs, it doesn't matter where he lives, in fact, the city is closer to the city

"It's quieter outside the city."

"It's casual" Chong was idle after lunch, so he let Bai Ya go for a walk by himself and then ran to the village to stroll, and Furute Rika happened to be going out for a walk, so the two of them walked together for the time being

"But you don't even see the slightest bit of a celebration," Chong asserted after scanning the village a few times, "rather than saying that everyone doesn't seem to have said anything."

"Those are all arranged by the Sonozaki family" Furute Rika used a more raw way of salutation, after all, Shion Sonozaki and Sonozaki Meiyin are also her friends, "I am in charge of the evening festival, and then the villagers are only responsible for playing and dancing when the time comes."

"Although the village is not big, there are so many places, and it is not time to arrange it now?"

"Hey~Don't you want to help~" Gushou Rika looked at it with a rather little devil-like expression, "But it's a pity that outsiders are not allowed to help, and the door system here is quite strict......!" ”

"Pear~flower~sauce~!" The girl with short rice-blond hair hugged the old pear blossom from behind, and the latter's expression softened the moment she heard her voice clearly

"What, it turned out to be Shaduzi" Furute Rika turned around and bounced the girl's head, "It's really, it's so enthusiastic every time~"

"Because who called Rika-chan and left for so long~" The girl named Shaduko rubbed the ancient pear blossom with her face that still had some baby fat, "Na, is Tokyo fun?" ”

"It's not as fun as Hinamizawa, but it's very lively" Rika Furute smiled and touched Shaduko's head, "By the way, this is a friend I met in Tokyo, and my name is Yukumo Chong"

"Hello~I'm Hojo Saduko~ I'm a good friend of Rika-chan~" Shaduko greeted Chong warmly, and the latter nodded in return

"Then I'll go around two laps by myself, and you two will catch up on your own," Chong deliberately left space for the two of them and disappeared into the village

"By the way, did they say hello to Keiichi-kun," Seeing this, Furute Rika simply didn't waste this piece of goodwill

"That ......," Satoko Hojo looked a little abnormal when he heard this

"What's wrong?" After seeing her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Gushou Rika couldn't help but be concerned: "Use a trap to provoke Keiichi and them to be angry again?" ”

"It's not... Rika and Keiichi: Have they been living in Tokyo for a long time, so they don't want to be here anymore? Hojo Satoko asked with a red face

"How is that possible?" After hearing this, Rinka Furu, a little angry and funny, said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Because...... They all said they didn't know Shaduzi..."

“？！！！”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Is the original name here Oni Fuchizawa......" Standing in the bookstore and flipping through a few relatively old history books, Chong felt from the bottom of his heart that this name was too unlucky, "The Mianryu Festival is to have the shrine maidens of Furute Shrine smash the cotton with a special iron hoe and throw it into the river, in order to worship the shrine's Mitejin... A more out-of-the-way method of sacrifice"

"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper asked you something," Chong closed the book, turned his head and asked the shopkeeper, "What god is the Kote Shrine worshipping?" … A god named Hairi? ”

"There's a god named Hairi...?" After all, her mother is a famous shrine maiden.,So Chong still knows the name of the native Japanese god in detail.,But the god called Yuin... It's a local indigenous god, right?

"Ah, no, I don't mean anything, it's just because I heard that today is the day of the Mianliu Festival, so I want to know more about it" After hearing the shopkeeper's shout, Chong shook his head and signaled that he had no malicious intent, "I'll know in the evening?" Then I understand"

"The atmosphere here is inexplicably abnormal...... "After walking out of the bookstore, Chong always felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, like the feeling that something blocked his brain, delusion...?

"Forget it... Let's go to the outskirts of the village and have a look," he said to himself, and then planned to go to Hinamizawa's outer paddy fields and mountain roads to stroll, after all, if you go to the suburbs, you must give priority to enjoying the scenery of the mountains and rivers, and for him who can't breathe fresh air, as long as there are people everywhere, it's the same

"What a coincidence, Mr. Chong is also planning to go out for a walk" When he turned around, he happened to collide with Mengmeng, who was about to pat him on the shoulder, and it was obvious that this was not a coincidence

"Want to be together? Forgive me for refusing" Chong has a very bad attitude towards him for some reason, "I'm not used to walking with people"

"Don't say that, we're also in a cohabitation relationship, right? If you can talk alone, it won't make the future relationship too stiff," Mengmeng's words made the people around him chatter, and sure enough, the people in the village were not resistant to these rumors

“……？” Chong's expression became a little surprised, as if he was looking at Akuya, "Cohabitation...?" I'm sorry, but you're a woman, so it's best not to say anything that insults your reputation."

"This is... What do you mean? The smile on Mengmeng's face stiffened slightly, not because he felt that he had seen through his intentions, but because he felt that this might not be a simple way to get out

"The meaning is very clear, trouble self-love, I just have a simple alumni relationship with you" Chong said in a slightly cold tone, "To make it clear, the relationship between the two of us is not good enough for you to say such things casually, if it's okay, you can go to Nana-san, as long as you don't bother me"

"That's... What I said just now was a gaffe, just a simple tour together? But Mengmeng is not a person who hesitates just because of this kind of thing, on the contrary, she is still very confident in adjusting her mentality

"Then I also refuse, I can't get along with people like you" This is already ** naked will disgust jump on the paper "So please don't deliberately pester me again, goodbye"

"Ahaha... It's like this feeling to be hated" Mengmeng waited for Chong to leave before he laughed a little distressed, the identity is the second princess, with a smart mind and dignified words and deeds, and her appearance inherited her mother's light and elegant customs, and the only one who would say "I can't get along with you" in front of her may be only Nana when she was a child, but don't be surprised, after all, she also treated this person like this at that time......?

“…… So that's the case" suddenly couldn't help laughing, which made the old people who wanted to come forward to comfort her subconsciously stunned

"Thank you for your concern, but I won't give up," Mengmeng thanked the people around him and planned to keep up with Chong, who had not been gone for a long time, and it looked a bit like the kind of obsessive young girl in the love comics, right?

"It's good to be young~" The old people let out such an emotional voice, and then time began to pass, and the last scene of the annual Mianliu Festival, which is also likely to be a rest, is finally about to begin

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― at half past seven in the evening

"Strange... Why didn't Mengmeng see her all afternoon, "When Nana put on the kimono provided by the Sonozaki family and went out, Mengmeng still didn't come back

(I think there's another person to worry about now) Bai Ya glared at Nana in an extremely dissatisfied tone for some reason

"You guy, can't you ......" The speculation was not spoken, because Nana was quickly taken out by the hand of Ryunomiya Rina and the others, who were already in a state of elation

"Then the teacher will go alone first, everyone have to have fun" Muroi Shizunobu smiled lightly and waved his hand before walking to a quieter other road, and Maehara Keiichi agreed and led everyone into the noisy downtown area, Bai Ya saw this and had to follow one of the teams, and the group entered a scattered situation

"Shion Sonozaki and Meine Sonozaki are busy helping out at home, Rika Furute will appear later as the protagonist of the Miryu Festival, and the only ones left are Reina Ryunomiya and Keiichi Maehara......" After taking a shallow puff of his pipe, he slowly let the mist drift into the air, narrowing his eyes slightly into a line, as if this would make him concentrate more "It doesn't seem to be like this, and those uninvited guests may disturb the progress of the plan."

"It's a pity that I can't shoot directly" smiled lightly at the corners of her mouth, blonde hair and hazel pupils "she" sat on the treetops and looked at Hinamisawa not far away, this is where she was once only one step away from realizing her dream, but it's a pity

"Look at me pulling you down from the throne of God~" repeated the words he had said again, little shrine god, how many people can you escape from this endless reincarnation this time?

-- It is always human beings who punish evil monsters

-- But it is always the monster who teaches the child a lesson

postscript

"This kind of rope has the breath of a rural place" with a little force to tear off the hemp rope that has been stained with lard, and now the villain who ties people with a rope can generally only wait for the next few episodes to be slapped in the face

"That's right," a chuckle came from behind him, and then a second, equally crisp cracking sounded

"Don't follow me, it's retribution," Chong said in a mocking tone

"It's very easy to ask a girl out to play in that unclear tone," Mengmeng replied with a prickly smile

"When did you make an appointment?"

"I know" The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then looked away at the same time, one couldn't help but smile, and the other couldn't hold his breath

"I'm sorry"

The two sentences of "I'm sorry" sounded at the same time, and they all had their own reasons for apologizing

"Then the next thing is--!" Kick the door of the firewood room open, come on, this is the opening song of the Mianliu Festival

"I'm tired of this endless cycle of reincarnation-!!"
