"Are you, Lord Spirit?"

The little girl, on a summer afternoon, asked Mu Yue on the shore of the lake where the spirit witch was purified. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little expectation in his eyes made Mu Yue a little cramped.

"Yike...... Well, I'm sorry to say that, but I'm not a god-sama! ”

Helping Saeko up, Mu Yue stretched out her hand and patted the little girl's head.

No...... Is it?

Saeko was a little unwilling.

It must be from the gods, right? It must be, right?

If it's a god, you can fulfill your wishes, but if it's a god, it should be a simple thing to make yourself a spirit witch, right?

I don't want to see my father's disappointed eyes, I don't want to see my sister carry a heavy burden that doesn't belong to her because of her own failures and incompetence, and I don't want my hard work to come to naught.

The little girl reached out and grabbed Mu Yue's sleeve.

"You must be a god."

Is it the stubbornness peculiar to children-Mu Yue thought so.

[Just think of it as coaxing children to be happy]

With such an idea, Mu Yue pinched Saeko's delicate and cute little face and smiled.

"Well, if that's what you think, that's fine."

In an instant, Saeko's little cute face lit up.

The hands that grabbed Mu Yue's sleeves were even harder, and the girl's immature voice had a rising tone.

"So, can the gods-sama grant Saeko's wish?"

[Saeko......? 】

Mu Yue frowned.

"You say, is your name Saeko?"

"Hmm!"

Nodding her head vigorously, Saeko looked at Mu Yue carefully.

[Lord Spirit, you look good]

"My name is Saeko Kashima!"

Under the sun, the little girl's little face regained its vitality and hope, which looked dazzling to Mu Yue.

However, the surprise and shock in her heart made Mu Yue ignore the discomfort caused by her eyes.

Saeko Kashima.

If you look closely, the little girl in front of you does look very similar to Saeko Kashima.

[What the hell is going on]

The doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger, and Mu Yue even felt a trace of trepidation.

"Divine Spirit?"

Looking at Mu Yue strangely, Saeko didn't quite understand why the gods suddenly looked scared after hearing her name.

“…… Spirit-sama, don't you like Saeko? ”

The aggrieved voice woke up Mu Yue, looking at the little girl's eyes that were already full of tears, Mu Yue hurriedly began to comfort the other party.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Saeko is cute, no one will hate you."

“…… Are you sure? ”

"Really, let's pull the hook!"

“…… Hook! If you lie, you have to swallow a thousand needles! ”

Some childish behaviors made Mu Yue laugh dumbly.

[Perhaps, it's because I'm too worried]

After comforting Saeko, Mu Yue suddenly thought of what Saeko said just now.

Make her wish come true.

"What was Saeko's wish just now?"

"Spirit Witch!"

Saeko, whose eyes were shining, looked at Mu Yue with a look of hope.

"Saeko hopes to become a spirit shrine maiden!"

Almost subconsciously, Mu Yue blurted out, "Saeko, is it found out that you don't have the qualifications to become a spirit witch?" ”

"Worthy of the gods!"

Saeko affirmed Mu Yue's guess, but it also put the boy in a contradiction again.

[Self...... It's not really going back to the way it used to be, is it?]

What a ridiculous guess.

Reversing time and space has proven impossible in theory - Gong Xingyun once told Mu Yue.

At least, human beings currently have no way to do it by means of technology or Taoism.

If he really accidentally returned to the past, then what caused him to come back, and what should he do to go back?

Mu Yue, who had a headache, frowned subconsciously.

Seeing Mu Yue frowning, Xiao Saeko lowered her head sadly.

[Lord Spirit, do you also think that I am not qualified to be a spirit witch]

Noticing the sad Saeko, Mu Yue sighed.

"Why, Saeko wants to become a spirit shrine maiden?"

[Anyway, if it's really going back to the past, then the eight achievements in front of me are Saeko when she was a child]

Thinking of what Saeko had talked to him about his childhood, Mu Yue made a decision in his heart.

"Because, because ......"

Why become a spirit witch?

“…… Because, I've always been looking forward to it, whether it's my father or uncle, everyone is looking forward to me becoming a spirit witch. ”

"So, Saeko, what is really in your heart?"

What do you really think?

Saeko's eyes widened slightly.

"Do you really want to be a spirit witch that much? Nothing other than becoming a spirit witch, has there been anything you really want to do? ”

Saeko shook her head.

Her past life seems to have been filled with the goal of "becoming a spirit witch", so much so that she can no longer tolerate anything else.

"Think about it, don't answer me right now, think it clearly - try to find something else."

If Saeko still stubbornly wants to become a spirit witch, Mu Yue is not out of the question.

In fact, the so-called qualification to become a spirit witch is the embodiment of the affinity for the spirit vein.

People with high qualifications can have a high affinity with the spiritual vein.

And the attribute of affinity is not unchangeable, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do it.

Mu Yue already had a plan in her heart - a plan to let Saeko improve her affinity with the spirit vein in another way.

It's just, in that case-

[The changed Saeko, is it still Saeko]

Looking at the little girl in front of her who was deep in thought, Mu Yue waited patiently.

“…… I don't know. ”

Unexpectedly, Saeko gave such an answer.

"Spirit-sama, I don't know ......"

The girl with a crying voice whimpered helplessly.

"I've always been working towards this goal, and I don't know what else I can do if I lose this goal......

"Hey......"

Stroking Saeko's head, Mu Yue sighed again.

"So, does Saeko still want to become a spirit witch?"

Biting her lip, Saeko nodded slowly.

【Tsk......】

Mu Yue only hesitated slightly, and then agreed to Saeko's request.

"It's just that if you want to become a spirit witch, there is something that Saeko still needs to do."

"Lord Spirit, what's the matter?"

Letting go of the hand that was caressing the top of Saeko's head, Mu Yue raised her head and looked into the distance.

In the lush jungle, the Kashima family's mansion looms.

"If you want to become a spirit witch, Saeko needs to bring me something."

After a pause, looking at the curious Saeko, Mu Yue said:

"Three days and the moon are near." (To be continued.) )
