367, bells

With Ai Sato and Rina Shirakawa in front, Gu Xue and Chisa Mihara behind, they continued along the South Approach Road.

"Miss Mihara, you say, if we steal a few barrels of wine and go back, will we get rich?"

It's almost time to the end of the Minami Approach.

Gu Xue saw a large shelf on the side of the road, on which rows of wine barrels were stacked on top of each other like lanterns, although Gu Xue was not interested in wine, and he couldn't drink it much. But she still recognizes the wine label on the barrel, what chrysanthemum Zhengzong, laurel crown, white snow, white crane and the like, these are all well-known wineries.

On the other side, there is also a large shelf, but in a different view, on which are the wines of some famous origins.

A veritable combination of China and the West.

I don't feel like I have a loss by stealing anything......

Gu Xue thought of this, so she asked Mihara Qiansha in a joking tone.

"Light Snow ......"

Mihara Qiansha was a little helpless when she heard Gu Xue's question about Qingqi's brain.

"Really." Gu Xue patted her on the back and said sneakily, "The famous wine here is very valuable in itself, and it has a relationship with the gods, and with the addition of faith, it is even more unbelievable...... Not. ”

"Xiaoxue!" Mihara Chisa quickly covered Gu Xue's mouth and didn't let her continue, "We are in the shrine, this will offend the ...... of the gods"

"Hmmm......"

Gu Xue, whose mouth was covered, nodded, and showed with her eyes that she knew.

Chisa Mihara slowly lowered her hand.

"Fruit......" Gu Xue immediately apologized, a little embarrassed.

She doesn't believe in these things herself, but she has to take into account Mihara Chisa's feelings.

Mihara Chisa shook her head and continued to walk forward with Gu Xue, "Actually, I'm fine...... But after stepping into the torii, it's better to be well-behaved, otherwise it won't work when you make a wish......"

"Eh......" Gu Xue looked at Mihara Chisa's serious side face, a little surprised.

"Am I talking too much?" Mihara Qiansha noticed Gu Xue's gaze, turned her head, and looked at Gu Xue.

Gu Xue organized the wording and said, "No, I'm just a little surprised, Miss Sanyuan, you are so pious......

"It's not pious...... "Chisa Mihara's face was grimacing," but ...... After all, it's the beginning of the new year, and I hope the gods will see my wish......"

"Understanding, understanding~"

Hearing this, Gu Xue smiled, and as she spoke, she broke free of Mihara Chisa's arm, turned around, and bowed to the position where sake was offered.

It's an apology.

Although she didn't believe in these things herself, Miss Mihara did, and she didn't mind being religious.

After all, we came together.

If you don't know if you are offended, you will implicate Miss Mihara.

Seeing Gu Xue's actions, Mihara Qiansha was a little reluctant, and pulled Gu Xue: "Don't ...... like this"

"It's okay, it's a joke, but stealing alcohol is really outrageous...... Well, let's not talk about that, Miss Mihara, what wish do you want to make, can you say it? ”

Gu Xue was more interested in another thing now.

Mihara Chisa was silent for a moment and said, "Can you not say it?" ”

"Okay......"

Gu Xue was a little disappointed...... But this feeling comes and goes quickly.

The two continued on their way, and soon reached the second torii.

Turn left from here and enter from the torii gate, which is the direction of the main shrine.

"Senior~ We'll meet you later."

Ai Sato, who was walking in front, and Rina Shirakawa whispered for a while, and they didn't know what they had discussed, so they suddenly turned their heads and shouted at Gu Xue.

Gu Xue hadn't had time to reply yet.

The two ran together.

“……”

Gu Xue watched the two run away, a little helpless.

This......

She turned her head to look at Sanchisha and asked, "What do we do now?" ”

Mihara Chisa thought for a moment and whispered, "Why don't you ...... Straight to the main hall? ”

"You can also ......"

Of course, Gu Xue had no opinion.

She didn't know what to do.

If you go to the main hall, go to the main hall.

Gu Xue and Mihara Chisa passed through the huge torii gate and continued towards the main hall.

There are no sake barrels on the main approach, but there is a lantern wall on the right side, the lanterns are white, but the font on them is blue, and only the top four lanterns have the words "New Year's Greetings" written in red.

At first glance, it's really fresh.

But it's a similar scene along the way, and that's it for seeing more.

No teasing, phew...... It's interesting to chat with Chisa Mihara.

After Gu Xue looked at it for a while, she retracted her gaze and took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"Do you know what I would wish for? Miss Mihara. ”

Mihara Chisa was a little uncertain and said, "...... make a lot of money?" ”

"Am I that realistic...... I do want to make this wish, but it's up to me to do it. ”

“…… Do you want the new project to go well? ”

Gu Xue rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not the kind of workaholic, it's a little more personal." ”

"......" Mihara Chisa stopped talking.

"Well, Zero, you don't know me at all."

Seeing that Mihara Qiansha stopped talking, Gu Xue shook her head in disappointment.

"I'm sorry ......"

"I don't need to apologize......"

"That wish ......," said Mihara with a very concerned expression.

Gu Xue thought about it, and said with a bad heart: "I'll tell you later~"

……

The two of them turned right and passed through a torii gate again, and they arrived at the entrance to the main hall, the Nanjin Gate.

Enter the South God Gate.

There are more people.

Because it will soon be twelve o'clock, many people have already begun to line up to go to the shrine as soon as the bell rings.

Gu Xue saw the long queue in front of the main hall, and she was powerless.

But after Chisa Mihara arrived at the main hall, she seemed to be quite happy.

Look around.

Gu Xue saw her like this, so she put forward a suggestion to walk around.

Chisa Mihara readily agreed.

The two of them spent about twenty minutes walking around, looking at the area where souvenirs were sold.

Eventually, the two stopped at the place where the ema was tied.

"Oh, make a wish." Gu Xue pushed Mihara Qiansha.

It's almost twelve o'clock.

Although it's okay to wait for her sister Gu Rou to come over and hang it together, but with a look of anticipation for Mihara Qiansa, Gu Xue really can't pretend not to see it......

Mihara Qiansa's face was slightly red, and she took out the ema she had bought, and pulled Gu Xue to the area where the ema was hung.

There are long tables and oil-based pens there.

"Give ......"

Come to the long table.

Mihara Chisa handed one of the pieces of Ema to Gu Xue, and then moved a few steps to the side, as if she didn't want to give Gu Xue the wish she had written.

Gu Xue took the ema handed over by Mihara Chisa, although she was very curious about the wish that Miss Mihara wrote, but she was mysterious, and Gu Xue was embarrassed to really run over to see it, so she could only write her own.

Gu Xue's wish was simple.

Bend over and brush a few brushes and it's done.

She herself felt that it was too fast, so she did not hurry to look up, and next to the wish, she made a few strokes with an oil-based pen.

A few minutes later.

Gu Xue raised her head.

Chisa Mihara also just raised her head.

"Written?" Gu Xue put the pen back in place.

"Hmm."

"Miss Mihara, this one is going to be hung on it." Gu Xue pointed to the place where the painted horse was tied in front of her, and teased: "No matter how well you hide it, I won't be able to see it later." ”

“……”

Hearing Gu Xue's words.

Chisa Mihara tilted her head to the side, with a tsundere expression of 'I don't listen, I won't listen'......

“…… Cut, stingy, mine for you to see! ”

Gu Xue pursed her lips, approached Mihara Chisa, raised Ema with both hands, and showed the side with her wishes written in front of Mihara Chisa.

Topmost.

It's a very simple sentence.

"I hope Miss Mihara can make more friends."

Next to that sentence, there is also a stick figure of Mihara Chisa, which was sketched by Gu Xue with a few strokes, which is quite cute.

“......”

Mihara Qiansha saw the contents of Gu Xue's horse clearly, and was stunned.

"Hey ......"

Gu Xue smiled like a flower.

The breeze ruffled her sideburns.

The so-called elegance is peerless, but that's it.

Boom.

The "Chinese New Year's Eve bell" announcing the arrival of the new year happened to ring at this time.

Then came the second tone.

Boom~

Outside the Nanshen Gate.

Gu Rou, who was blaming Yujing Yao and causing herself to come over now, stopped abruptly when she heard the bell and looked in the direction where the bell sounded.

Tamai Yao and Miyamoto Kei also stopped talking, and also looked in the direction where the bell sounded.

in the corner.

Gu Xiao listened to the bell, looked at Gu Rou, and silently said Happy New Year.

In front of the third torii.

Ai Sato and Rina Shirakawa, who came in a hurry, stopped together.

Look in the direction the bell rings.

Main hall.

The place where the ema is hung.

Gu Xue was also attracted by the sound of the bell, and also turned her head to look in the direction where the bell sounded.

But Chisa Mihara didn't bother with the bells.

She was looking at Gu Xue's side face.

Somewhat distracted.

After a while.

She came to her senses.

I thought about it.

Chisa Mihara's face flushed and she lifted Ema to her mouth and nose, blocking half of her face at the same time.

showed his wish in front of Gu Xue's eyes.

Gu Xue listened to the bell for a while.

Turn your head.

I just happened to see Ema held by Chisa Mihara.

As well as the wishes above.

[I hope Gu Xue will always like me.] 】

“……”

Gu Xue was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Baga." ”

“…… Hmmm"

Chisa Mihara, whose face was flushed, lowered her head slightly and held Ema up in front of her, as if she wanted to cover her entire face with Ema......

Boom.

Another bell rang.

108 bells.

Announcing the end of the old year.

A new year begins.
