You see the shrine, the last day of the year.

Shinoshi was helping Fu Jixian arrange the clothes on his body. Compared to women's traditional clothing, what he wears is actually not complicated, but this is not something that is usually worn on his body, so it is quite difficult for a person to dress and tidy it up.

He needs a little help.

"Do you have to wear clothes like this, I think it's okay to wear a black suit, and it's very formal." Fu Jixianli felt that the lower half of his body was loose and a little leaky.

It's getting dark, and it's a bit of a mess inside and outside the shrine as the parade is about to begin...... Privately, Fu Ji Xianli has already judged the so-called "festival" to be a procession, and then a large group will set off from the shrine and follow a certain route before returning here.

"It's all in line with the style, and a man in a suit is mixed in the crowd, which is really a lot of disobedience." Shinoshi said.

There is a man in a suit standing next to the portable shrine and the maiden, and this is not like a festival parade, but a triad parade.

"It's okay, it's a bit of a period drama, it's very fresh, but it's actually a bit out of harmony...... Outside is a modern modern city, is this kind of 'forced retro' a breath of fresh air or a strange flower? ”

"Whatever you want, you just have to go out and walk around...... Will it be a little cold later? ”

"It's definitely not cold, because I wear three layers of warm ...... inside" Fu Jixian replied with a sentence, only to find that he was a little self-inflicted, because the latter sentence was actually Shinohara Morinaga was concerned about his sister.

Well, don't be sentimental, because whoever is sentimental will be embarrassed.

Nana Shinohara on the side did not cover her mouth and chuckle at this time, and then said, "I'm fine, I'm not cold, sister." ”

"Nari-kun and Nana won't wait here for a while, I'll go out to see the situation, and I'll come and inform you when I'm leaving." Shinoshi helped Nanami tidy up her clothes again, and then left here temporarily.

It's lively outside, but those things have nothing to do with Fu Ji Xianli and Nanami Shinohara, Nanawei's role is actually a delicate puppet, and Fu Ji Xianli can still play a functional role...... It's not that there will be any accidents, but this kind of collective action is surrounded by people coming and going, and if he stays by Nanawei's side, he can take care of her, so it will be more reassuring.

After all, it was a little inconvenient for her to move.

The original form of the festival was to have the meaning of marriage and sacrifice in it, so at this time Nana Shinohara's body was wearing a white dress, what the specific style Fu Ji Xianli couldn't figure out, it felt a bit like Bai Wuji, but there was no decoration on his head...... It is rare for her to wear such clothes at her age, which is not inconsistent and can even highlight her temperament.

Well, it's the face that plays an extremely important role...... Maybe it's the only effect?

Nanawei's face is not painted with that kind of unpredictable "classical makeup", it should be the light makeup that Shinohara helped her paint, just a little outline of the eyeliner and facial contours - her own sister, must be how the best look.

"Why did Nana Wei agree to play the role of the daughter, do you like such a lively event?"

Fu Jixianli, who was idle, began to chat.

"Well......" Nana Shinohara didn't think about it for a while, and then said, "Actually, I don't like it very much, but because I saw my sister wearing such clothes when I was young, I felt very envious at that time, so I agreed, it's a fresh experience, after all, I don't have many opportunities to go out." ”

"......" This kid seemed to talk to death with a word, and Fu Jixian was not very easy to speak for a while.

Diseases of the legs and feet, such a topic is really not easy to talk about.

"Brother Li, don't think too much," Nana didn't turn her head to see Fu Ji Xianli's expression, and then began to comfort him, "When most people see my situation, the emotions they intuitively convey will basically be sympathy or pity, but Brother Li doesn't seem to be the same, is it 'regret'?" ”

The girl seems to have a keen sense of emotion.

"Is that so? I feel that the emotions of sympathy or pity, which seem to be the feelings of one person standing on a higher position and looking down on another, sometimes feel like a charity......

That's probably what it means, and I'm a little bit bad at it.

Before I left here to go to school, you were as healthy and resentful as a normal child, and now you ...... So is this a pity? ”

Fu Jixian is very good at restraining himself, and he is generally not easy to show sympathy, because it can easily stimulate the self-esteem of others.

"It's not right to feel sorry for myself, so I came out of that emotion. Now I'm actually fine, to the most extreme, although I can't walk on my legs, but at least the basic life is still able to take care of myself, Brother Li, do you know what I was most afraid of before? ”

"What?"

"Incontinence, this kind of thing is completely equated with the dignity of being born as a human being and even the qualification to live by the former me to a considerable extent, I can't accept the imaginary self, so it's actually okay now.

Brother Li, you don't have to be so careful. ”

Self-pity is wrong, so coming out of that emotion is easy to say, but the difficulty of doing can be imagined. And Nanami Shinohara, she didn't have inconvenient lower limbs since birth, and after the illness continued, the gap she experienced in the middle was by no means something that ordinary people could overcome.

Therefore, some people look like just a child, but while she is soft in her heart, she is actually much stronger than adults.

Fu Jixian felt some admiration and liking for this child...... Well, the latter emotion still depends a lot on the face.

After a while, the outside noise became louder, and then Shinoyoshi pushed the door open and walked in again.

"Lijun, Nanawei, it's time to go."

Then Shinoshi walked over to Fu Ji Xianli's side, leaned into Nanawei's ear and whispered something, but Nanawei shook his head.

I guess I was asking her if she wanted to go to the toilet or something.

"Do you want to take Nana out?" Fu Jixian naturally pretended not to know, he still had this emotional intelligence, and then he asked.

"What does it look like to carry it out and carry it out, now Nana is not a 'life girl', are you the 'main god'?"

“…… There is a reason for that. ”

He is a "priest", it seems that it is really not suitable to hold the wife of the main god, otherwise it would be a grassland plot.

Fu Ji Xianli squatted down, and with the help of Shinohara, he carried Nanami Shinohara on his back as a ...... A tentacle monster, the person on his back must be more stable and stable.

Nanami has slender legs and a light weight. She's a patient, and rightfully so.

After leaving the room, someone outside carried a lantern to guide the way, and when they reached the outside of the shrine, the heat of the crowd immediately hit their faces.

Greeting Fu Ji Xianli, no, it should be said that Nanami Shinohara, who was greeted with warm applause and cheers.

Nanami Shinohara, who was involved in "cosplay", naturally couldn't wave to everyone at this time, so she maintained a reserved smile.

Fu Jixian felt as if the crowd had suddenly quieted down, but then the cheers became louder...... It's a pity that he can't see such an expression.

Mr. Fu is still wondering, doesn't it mean that the people of the island country will habitually keep quiet in this kind of group activity, why are these people making a fuss here?

But...... Fu Jixian ignored the crowd, and then looked up at the multitude, bright and quiet stars in the night sky, and then he suddenly felt that it seemed to be a good experience to participate in such an event?

"Lijun, go to the shrine."

Seeing that Fu Ji Xianli suddenly stopped, Xiao Yuanshi, who was following behind, opened his mouth to remind.

"Got it."

Fu Jixian straightened the column of the crowd and continued to walk forward, and after a while he came to the first half of the procession, and then saw the so-called "portable shrine...... Luckily, it was indeed a sedan chair, not something like a small box like the island tradition.

At least people can stretch their bodies after sitting in them.

The sedan chair has a roof, but it is transparent on three sides except for the back, and people can see the appearance of the maiden sitting inside.

A little earlier, the one standing there should be the "god", and the actor is a woman, the shrine maiden of the shrine.

Fu Ji Xianli carried Nanami Shinohara's back to the portable shrine, and Shinohara came over to help adjust her sitting posture and let her sit in the back position, so that Nanami could use her strength to lean on the wooden board behind, otherwise she would definitely be very tired from sitting for such a long distance.

Fu Jixian felt that this sedan chair must have been specially modified for this purpose, because it should have been transparent on all sides.

After helping to tidy up Nanawei's clothes, Rishi retreated and stood on the side of the road.

"Lijun, take care of Nanawei." When passing by Fu Jixianli's side, she said.

Fu Jixian nodded silently...... Well, bye-bye, expired girl.

The sedan chair was carried by four people, and Fu Jixianli stood on the left side of Nanaiwei.

It seemed that some messy ritual had begun to take place in front of him, and Fu Jixian couldn't hear the voice over there clearly—or maybe the people there were deliberately vague in their words.

Then, a crisp bell rang, and the team began to move.

At the front are the two "divine envoys" who lead the way, followed by the great god lord walking in the middle of the road, then the small phalanx playing the role of the shrine maiden, who seem to be dancing all the way, and then the "portable shrine", Fu Ji Xianli's "priest" and "life girl".

After that, there are a lot of ordinary people who are involved.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be only one priest, and that seems to be very undecent, but this year it seems that there is only one Fu Jixianli, and he represents it - this seems to be using some kind of "privilege"?

Fu Jixianli also saw the camera on the side of the road, and thought that it was okay to come to this kind of folk event on TV.

didn't take two steps, Fu Jixianli noticed a small problem - the four people carrying the portable shrine were actually not lifting, but pushing.

He looked down, listened attentively, and then he understood...... Your sister's, "four-wheel drive".

There are four rubber pneumatic tires under the portable chair, and the car is lifting, no, the sedan chair is really stable.

That's too up-to-date, isn't it? That's how feelings fool the gods?

But this is a good thing, pushing is definitely more than lifting steadily, the sedan chair is sitting in Shinohara, and Fu Jixian does not have to worry about the person carrying the sedan chair suddenly missing...... The distance is still relatively long, and this kind of large sedan chair coupled with the people sitting in it makes it difficult for people to carry the road steadily.

Although the truth is like this, because the matter of installing tires under the sedan chair is too inconsistent, and the four people around him have to pretend to carry the sedan chair, Fu Jixian couldn't help but start to laugh.

Nana Shinohara on the side quickly noticed Fu Ji Kenri's expression, and then she became very confused. So Fu Jixian then raised his hand and let go, pointing to the tires below.

So Nana Wei also had to temporarily cover her mouth and nose with a small fan.

Sincerely, it's kind of funny...... Could this have been done by Shinoshi?

Fu Jixian thinks that nine times out of ten, it is rare for Li Shi to show such a cute side.

In the crowd of parades, many people carried retro lanterns, and the faint lights were dotted in the night, and the procession stretched far and wide.

Along the way, many people come out of their homes to watch the festival go on, and children run around the procession, and they especially like to make their way to the mikoshi.

Well, Fu Jixian has to protect Nanai from these ghosts.

From time to time, new people join the team behind.

Before he knew it, Fu Ji Xianli's mood also became cheerful, and he was a little immersed in this kind of activity.

…………

On the other side, the shrine is a little deserted after the crowd has left and until everyone returns.

At this time, the priest of Chestnut Blossom was sitting alone in the main hall drinking tea, and because of the festival, his clothes were also very formal at this time.

"Mr. Chestnut Blossom, it seems that you are in a good mood."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded at the door, and if Fu Jixian was here, maybe he would have recognized this voice.

Chestnut Blossom's hand holding the teacup paused suddenly.

Maybe he foresaw it, but he didn't expect that there would be uninvited guests coming to his door this New Year.

"It turned out to be the vice president...... Mr. Sakuraba Mako......

And Miss Yao Sakurabi. ”

"You're pretty calm...... Say straight to the point, Mr. Chestnut Blossom, I want you to give us back what you stole from us.

It took a lot of effort to find you. ”

Walking into the room, there were two men, a man and a woman, and the male continued.

"The procession for the festival will be back soon, you two, whatever happens, I hope you will wait a little longer - there is nothing more important for a shrine than the annual festival." Chestnut Blossom said.

Mr. Sakuraba stared closely at the withered and decrepit figure of the other party, and after a moment he spoke:

"Yes.

Hopefully we can get a good result for each other. ”
