"Over there is the worship center, here is the wishing wall, and over there is the reception center entrusted to the specialty."

Ikeda led the trio through the shrines at night, and as a trainee shrine maiden, her most important task of the day was to guide the pilgrims...... Persuade them to spend money.

Most of the pilgrims saw the young and lovely little witch and unknowingly took out their pockets.

"There are a lot of pilgrims here."

Luo Xin finally squeezed out of the crowd and sighed.

"That's natural, Inari Shrine has always been the shrine with the most incense, the shrine is dedicated to the god Inari, also known as the 'God of the Three Foxes', the statue you just saw on the top of the mountain, is the Lord Inari God."

"God? Are you referring to the Protoss? ”

Gu Yun raised his vigilance, he didn't expect that there were traces of the Protoss here, but the figure with the pointed beast ears and nine tails before was obviously different from the Protoss he had seen.

"Protoss...... Barely the same can be counted, but the god Inari is a god in charge of food and harvest, and the local people often come to ask for a good harvest. ”

"How did she trick people into joining the Hidden God Society?"

"Teacher, you're misunderstanding, pilgrims who come to worship don't need to join any organization, and even the shrine maidens haven't seen the god Inari, but no matter how good or bad the weather is, N City can always have a good harvest, and even in the era of the financial crisis, most of the people in N City live a rich life."

But pay for incense.

Ikeda added in his mind.

However, as a shrine maiden apprentice at Inari Shrine, Ikeda Asaya has always believed in the existence of Inari God.

Since the legendary demons and monsters are true, why can't the folk myths and legends be true? The long harvest is enough to prove the authenticity of the god Inari.

"Understood."

Gu Yun saw that Ikeda Chaoye's attitude was firm, and he also realized that his accusation just now was somewhat arbitrary.

"Ikeda, did you raise all these foxes?"

Seeing this, Luo Xin diverted the topic at the right time.

Along the way, foxes can be seen everywhere on the shrine mountain, both red and white, and many of them are agile through the crowd and get along well with the pilgrims.

In the past, the supermarket also sold the feed that foxes liked to eat, and many tourists from outside would buy a can or two, as long as they stood on the steps, the foxes in the vicinity would slowly gather.

Luo Xin saw Seventeen quietly buy a can when he went out, and when they were not paying attention, he left the group and learned from the pilgrims to open the feed can.

Unfortunately, there were no foxes to take care of him, and the foxes in the neighborhood fled when they saw him.

She also saw Seventeen silently throwing the feed jar into the bushes near the steps, clapping his hands and trotting after them, as if nothing had happened.

And when Luo Xin brought up the topic of foxes, Seventeen really pretended to take a few steps closer inadvertently, but actually listened attentively.

"Generally speaking, pilgrims will feed them, even in the off-season, most foxes can find food in the mountains, only a few greedy little foxes will come to the shrine at night to ask for food, the foxes near the shrine have spirituality, and those little foxes used to roll on the ground when they came to ask me for snacks, but it was fun."

Ikeda laughs as he remembers the anecdotes of his apprenticeship.

The little fox's belly is soft and warm to the touch, and if you feed it too much, the little fox will follow her all day long.

Legend has it that the fox is the messenger of the god Inari and is regarded as a symbol of good luck in N City.

"If you get the favor of the foxes, you will have good luck in the next year, and many pilgrims will regularly come to feed the foxes in the mountains...... Seventeen, are you alright? ”

Ikeda didn't know why when he said something happy, he made Seventeen's face turn pale.

"What if you don't get the favor of the fox?"

Luo Xin had witnessed what Seventeen had just done, and knew the reason for his sudden change in complexion, so he asked mischievously.

"I guess it's going to be a lot of bad luck."

As soon as he finished saying this, Seventeen's face was a little ugly.

"It's a little strange for you to say that, the foxes of the shrine should not be afraid of people, but I also heard a saying when I was a child that the foxes of the shrine can distinguish between good and evil, and they will take the initiative to stay away from those who have committed the most evil crimes."

After the group came to the shrine today, the foxes just looked at her from a distance, and after looking at each other, they turned around and ran away.

"That's enough."

Seventeen took a deep breath, "It's possible that it's just because they're not in good shape today. ”

He felt that this legend was getting more and more outrageous, and said that he would have bad luck in the next year, and even he put up with it, but the black cauldron of the most evil sin could not be carried on his back inexplicably.

"Do you want to grab one and ask?"

Gu Yun also felt a little strange, in fact, he felt that he had always gotten along with small animals quite well, the white rabbit at home had a good relationship with him, the three-headed dog often came to his house to eat and drink, and the white kite gave him a feather that symbolized friendship.

Of course, this is not enough to describe his affinity for small animals.

I think that when he visited the zoo, the animals that were yelling at the audience with their teeth and claws open their teeth and claws a second ago all curled up like kittens and greeted him in a friendly manner after seeing him.

"Feeding the fox is a quick way to increase the friendship between a person and a fox."

Ikeda shared his experience, but the foxes at the shrine didn't just ask for it, and after feeding them for a while, the little foxes occasionally brought her some beautiful rain stones from the mountains.

She thinks that it may be because the teacher looks a little fierce on the outside, so that the foxes will be regarded as a bad person.

"Teacher, come and take this, most of the foxes on the mountain like to eat this flavor."

Ikeda went to the store at night to buy two cans of fox feed, took one out and held it in the palm of her hand, then slowly bent down and spread her palms to show the feed to the little white-haired fox who was eager to try it on the hillside.

The little fox's ears twitched, and as it watched Ikeda's gentle smile towards the night, it took a tentative step forward.

Gu Yun did the same, imitating Ikeda's movements, grabbing a handful of feed and placing it in the palm of his hand, spreading out his palm to meet the little fox on the mountain, whose gaze wandered back and forth between him and Ikeda's night, and then finally made up his mind.

Seeing that Ikeda's method of rising to the night worked, Gu Yun naturally made persistent efforts.

As he made eye contact with the little white-haired fox, he grinned and smiled with kindness.

The little fox that was running suddenly stopped, and the fur on its body exploded, and after making a hissing "boom", it turned violently, and rushed into the bushes on the mountain without looking back, and then disappeared completely.

"Woo woo - everyone, someone poisoned the feed!"

For a time, the news that a security captain had poisoned fox feed in an attempt to poison all the foxes spread throughout the mountains.
