"Alright, alright, I'm going to get ready for Kagura, so I can't play with you."

About half an hour before the sacrificial ceremony began, Sachiko said goodbye to Mu Yue and his party and returned to Kashima Shrine.

"Well, do you need help or something?"

"I'm very happy that Mu Jun has this heart, but it would be better if Mu Jun could accompany my sister, because if my sister is happy, I will be very satisfied!"

“……”

nodded, everyone was together anyway, so there was no big reaction to Sachiko's mention of Mu Yue.

It's just—

"Ahh

"Ahhhh Dream Bamboo!! There are major arteries and great arteries! With your current strength, even an elephant can be crunchy by you, right!? ”

All in all, today is an energetic family.

◇

As the time of the ceremony approaches, most of those who come to enjoy the Shinko Festival begin to approach Kashima Jingu.

The shrine maidens and priests on duty set up the altar early, and there were wooden stakes carved with totems around the altar.

The wooden stakes are connected to each other by a rope to enclose the altar, but there is an opening in the direction of the main hall of the shrine, which is probably the entrance and exit for Sachiko to take the stage.

"Psychic powers."

Meng Xuan glanced at the notes and ropes, and suddenly laughed.

"Master, these threads have spiritual power attached to them."

"That's right, yes, there's even traces of the technique—"

Longquan Seven Stars nodded again and again.

"—From the Dao Master's point of view, this is a secondary technique that can slightly enhance the magic on the middle altar - if someone performs it on it."

So, everyone looked at Saeko.

Saeko, who was being watched, tilted her head.

"Pray for blessings and calm the nerves."

It's probably the effect of the technique, right? What a concise explanation.

However, Mu Yue also understood what was going on.

Wait a minute, Sachiko's kagura dance will pray for the blessings of the people around her, and at the same time be able to calm your mind, right?

Sure enough, it's a spirit witch.,It's completely different from those ordinary female students who don't have any ability to work part-time.。

"What's wrong?"

Mu Yue noticed that Saeko Kashima looked at the altar with a somewhat distracted gaze.

Shake one’s head.

"Hawkers,Although I can't do it like Sachiko, but I can still see some of it.,Saeko, you seem to have something on your mind?"

The voice was very small, and the relationship was very noisy because there were too many people around, so no one else heard Mu Yue's words.

Saeko pursed her lips, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly took out her phone.

Crackling and crackling, fingers flashing quickly across the screen.

Subsequently—

Mu Yue's mobile phone rang.

[Because it's inconvenient to say it directly, do you plan to use the text message]

Thinking like this, Mu Yue took out her mobile phone, and sure enough, it was a text message from Saeko.

[As I said before, have you forgotten jì Mujun?] (ノへ￣、)]

"Before?"

[It's just a few months ago.,I said it before.,It's because I'm not qualified enough that's why Sachiko became a spirit witch.,Although I'm not jealous.,But ...... Sure enough, I'm (>_<) still a little envious.]

The emojis are as colorful as ever, aha, ahahahahaha......

"So, Saeko, do you also hope to one day be able to dance Kagura at the festival as a spirit shrine maiden?"

[Really, Mu Jun said so...... Wouldn't it be duplicity if you don't admit it? (T_T) ↓But,It's been like this for so many years.,So it's not as envious as it was at the beginning.,It's better to say,It's also a kind of happiness to be able to watch my sister's beautiful dance like this offstage.o(*≧▽≦)ツ If it's on stage.,Isn't there no way to enjoy the dance? ]

Putting away the phone, Mu Yue sighed uncheckably.

Saeko, is it really as free and easy as she said?

◇

Sachiko appeared from the side of the altar with her eyes closed and her expression stern.

Unlike her usual appearance, her steps were like flowing water, and the injured bell rang suddenly.

In this way, the girl walked to the center of the altar.

Then, Sachiko, who opened her eyes slightly, had an expression that surprised Mu Yue.

I thought it would be happy or nervous, but it wasn't like that.

Sachiko seemed to be a different person, looking into the invisible distance, and a sad expression appeared on her face.

It's as if you've been possessed by something, and the atmosphere is completely different from usual.

Mu Yue was fascinated, and so were the Mengzhu around them.

The originally noisy venue fell silent, and everyone stared at the altar in silence.

The bell rang and Sachiko's dance began.

The girl dances gracefully, her steps are solid, and she looks quite skilled, so she thinks she often practices on weekdays, right?

Like flowing water, Sachiko's movements skillfully distinguish between movement and stillness, expressing the feelings of the dance, and conveying it to the audience in its entirety.

War and famine envelop the people living here, but heaven and earth gently observe and embrace life.

Beautiful things that have never been noticed appear and confide in people who are pessimistic and melancholy.

Leaves, birds, four seasons...... A qiē looks so beautiful.

Subsequently, the joyful dance began to become intense.

The catastrophe began to pass, and the earth gently nurtured the people who survived above it.

Although there have been calamities, as long as you believe in hope, everything will be fine, right?

As a result, the land became more and more fertile.

Life is getting better and better.

People sincerely believe in the earth and the gods who protect them, and among them, the most devout maiden performs her own dance for the sky, the earth, and the gods as a spirit shrine maiden.

Mu Yue, who was engrossed in watching the dance, suddenly noticed that his chest was burning a little.

The palm of the hand was touched, and he was told that it was a Buddha bone with the appearance of a diamond-shaped crystal.

The spiritual power flowed uncontrollably, the same as when he had been on the emperor's auspicious day before, but it was not so intense.

The mind was calmer than ever, probably because of the calming effect of Kagura Dance.

Looking at Sachiko, who was very different from usual on the stage, Mu Yue seemed to see Saeko in a trance.

The two sisters have seven points of similarity, and when they put away their usual smiling faces and start solemnly offering a kagura dance, Sachiko, as a younger sister, will almost be mistaken for an older sister.

The priests played the kagura flute and the Japanese drum.

Sachiko dances the coins and kagura bells.

Inadvertently, Mu Yue and Sachiko's eyes met.

The girl suddenly winked at him, and in an instant, as if she had changed from a god to a human, Sachiko, who Mu Yue was familiar with before, came back.

And then—

"Ah~~!!!"

Because of the reason to greet Mu Yue, Sachiko stepped on the skirt that she had changed on purpose without paying attention, and her body fell crooked on the altar, and she rolled down the stairs......

“……”

“……”

“……”

The audience was silent, and the audience was all in a state of residual thought. (To be continued.) )
