After worshipping the shrine, Yuki Yu looked at the side.

The old man who was still making tea just now was standing next to him with his hands behind his back.

He turned around and walked forward slowly, "Please go this way." ”

Yuuki followed.

Hana and Aino glanced at each other and followed quietly.

Anyway, I didn't say I wouldn't let them go.

A group of people followed Nakamura Kiyoichi down the corridor, towards the right side of the shrine, and when they passed by an open door, they all subconsciously looked at it.

There was a small tea table in the room, and the tea table was full of coarse snacks, and a little witch wearing a white hakama (ku) witch costume was lying on the tatami mat, with her white and tender little feet crossed, looking at comic books, giggling and laughing.

The little witch girl heard the movement outside, and subconsciously looked up, and when she saw a stranger, the whole person suddenly jumped up like a spring, kneeling on the comic book, with a well-behaved face.

It's a pity that I forgot to wipe off the snack crumbs on my mouth, and I almost knocked over the large bottle of Coke with the lid open next to me just now.

Nakamura Kiyoichi coughed: "I'm sorry, it's a bit rude, please continue to walk with the old man." ”

He continued to take a step forward, not blaming the little witch, even the apologies just now were only polite.

Yuki Yu and a few people followed, and they didn't feel anything, such a big little witch, if she stayed here every day and didn't want to find some way to pass the time, how boring it would be!

After they all passed, the little witch suddenly crooked, rubbed her feet that were a little sore, and then used her hands and feet together, crawled to the door, gently closed the door, and then locked it.

"Kamimei-sama loves children, so ......," explained Nakamura Seiichi, leading them to a room at the end of the right.

There was nothing extra in the room, except for a large drum with a black "three-hook jade" shaped ba-pattern embroidered on the drum surface.

O-chan's eyes were full of surprise: "What a big Japanese drum!" ”

This drum is unfamiliar to no one, after all, there are many on the streets, although not so big.

In addition, there is also a drum corps beating drums at the festival every year, and they sometimes watch taiko drum performances, and occasionally go to play with them during the New Year.

Nakamura Kiyoichi responded, and the veteran rubbed on the drum: "The ancestors of ancient times would use the taiko drum to drive away the disease, and also to welcome the gods; So, Brother Yuuki, pray for blessings to drive away the disease, you must not knock this, knock it well, and the gods will like it too. ”

"What if you don't knock it well?"

"If you don't knock it well, the gods will like it too, and the gods like to be lively." Old man Nakamura Seiichi said with a smile.

Yuuki Yuichi was thoughtful.

In ancient times, the neon people used taiko drums for the purpose of driving away diseases...... Whether it works or not, at least there is such a statement and implication.

He has a [musician] card, but he doesn't worry about bad knocking.

If the degree of effectiveness of beating the drum to pray for blessing is far greater than that of ordinary prayer, then he has really finalized the drum.

"Mr. Village Chief, can I knock now?" He rolled up his sleeves and asked politely.

"Well, it can be, but what, it's the mountain god festival at night, and the gods will cast their eyes, wouldn't it be better to knock it when the time comes?" Nakamura Kiyoichi looked up and down and said, "This dress doesn't fit either." ”

This one...... It's true that wearing a blue and white sportswear to play a taiko drum can be a little wrong.

This one...... Yuuki Yuichi was slightly embarrassed, this time he only brought a sports uniform, the only short-sleeved one, which was dirty and hadn't been washed.

"Don't you have any other clothes?" Nakamura Kiyoichi thought for a moment and said, "No...... That's just not to wear it. ”

Yuuki Yuichi was stunned for a moment: "Huh? ”

"No clothes...... Wouldn't that be hentai? Ohno muttered quietly.

The old man shook his head: "I don't wear a shirt." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said to Yuki Yuuki: "Don't worry, the gods will like it!" ”

Yuichi Yuuki: "......"

Sounds like this god doesn't look very serious?

I like children, and I like men bare-chested......

Huh? Wait a minute!

Then again, what kind of god is enshrined here?

This neon is said to have eight million gods...... Do you have a job license?

Surely not all of them, right?

If it's not a serious god to worship, isn't that harming the mandarin?

He hesitated, his eyebrows furrowed.

The girls in the back also looked at each other.

Nakamura Kiyoichi touched his head: "If it doesn't work, then the old son's clothes will be lent to you to wear, right?" ”

Then he paused again, and continued, "The gods will like it anyway." ”

“……”

Yuuki Yuichi suddenly had a flash of lightning in his head, and he figured out something......

The phrase "the gods will like it" in this old man's mouth is probably just a strange mantra, right?

It's probably the same as when he said anything in his previous life, he would always say XXXX to greet each other.

He understood, and was relieved, and then smiled dumbly.

Why are you still more serious?

He looked at Nakamura Seiichi with a concerned expression: "Which god is enshrined here?" ”

Nakamura Seiichi replied seriously: "It is the mountain god that our ancestors have worshiped here for generations, bless the water and soil here and the safety of our descendants." ”

"Mountain god, this sounds like a serious god......" he nodded, relieved.

And so it was settled.

Teacher Satoko is by her side, so just ask for leave and say something.

There is also a cable car here, and it is easy to descend the mountain at night.

Nakamura Seiichi took them to the main hall to worship the god, and Yuuki Yuichi found that this mountain god was the image of a tall woman, kind and compassionate, and he relaxed a little.

And as a thank you, Yuuki rolled up his sleeves and helped them carry things.

By the way, he also made lunch, relying on this, so that everyone also rubbed their stomachs.

Saionji Mirai kicked Saionji Update, and the latter patted it, and went to Yuuki Yuichi with a stiff face.

The girls wandered around, visiting the shrine, and finally slipped into the room where the little shrine maiden was, and they wanted to help, but were stopped by Nakamura Seiichi...... I don't know what it says.

Time passed so slowly, and a lot of first-year students came to Chiichi, because they all heard that Yuichi Yuki was going to beat the taiko drum in the evening.

Although it is not clear why an outsider can join the festival of the local villagers...... But, whatever! As long as it looks good, it's enough!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was cloudy, the sun was blocked, only beams of light came out, and the large flaming red clouds on the horizon seemed to be burning, which was beautiful.

Old man Nakamura stood on the edge of the mountaintop, squinted for a moment, then turned his head and shouted, "It's almost time, you can start!" ”

Fireworks flew into the air and huge flowers bloomed.
