Chapter 31: Start being a shrine maiden today
"By the way, there is still Daisuke's matter, have you figured it out?"
Nozawa frowned, "It's been investigated, Daisuke was killed by the beast when his father went out of the village when he was a child, and within a few years, his mother also fell ill and died. He and Liang have been childhood sweethearts since he was a child, and there are only two or three real friends. But we couldn't get anything out of their mouths, and we didn't find any clues, so I sent two men to keep an eye on them. ”
"The matter of digging a well...... It's also possible that Daisuke hid somewhere and secretly saw it. ”
"Well, you have to let me know if there's any news. And that well, you have to look at it. ”
"Yes!"
The little figure outside the side hall heard that the two had finished talking, and hurriedly hid behind the large round barrel that usually held the grain pile.
It was gray, and Nozawa was in a hurry, not even noticing that there was a petite man hiding behind the grain bucket.
Nozawa left, Yaeji's mind surged, and it was true that Daisuke was taller than him, but in terms of combat power, it was a joke. Running out of the village after the sacrifice and getting the front leg of a low-level monster from the outside that was still fresh was an impossible thing for Daisuke to accomplish before.
Carrying something in the middle of the night, sneaking up to the well? What did he mention? He can get the front legs of the monster, and the demon blood and the like shouldn't be a big problem.
If so......
Yaeki returned to the house, and Rin had been in poor health lately and had already fallen asleep. Sakura, dressed as an alternate shrine maiden, knelt beside her, as if she knew he was coming.
"Brother, I couldn't communicate with the fox god."
"It's okay, take your time."
Yae Ji came to Sakura's side and rubbed her beautiful pink hair with her hand, "Prepare a set of alternate shrine maiden clothes for me tomorrow, and I will also go to worship the fox god." ”
Wearing a shrine maiden costume to worship the fox god, that is a temptation. Just like the father and son went to the temple to pray for seven days together, as long as no calamity befell during these seven days, it means that the fox god acquiesced in this behavior.
Wait for Yaeji to worship, if there is a disaster that befalls during the seven days, Yaeji can only choose to sacrifice. The person who can be sacrificed can't be Sakura or Rin!
Otherwise...... He took Sakura and Rin to live in Ayutthaya and left the group to fend for themselves!
Do they really think that the patrol can defend one side? Yaeji, who hunts monsters with the patrol these days, has also seen the upper limit of the patrol.
Once a very powerful monster comes, they can't resist it at all, and they can only rely on the shrine maiden in the village to protect it.
After Yaeji made up his mind, he fell into a deep sleep.
In his dreams, he dreamed of that magical other world again. Humans in another world control the destiny of heaven as mortals. the thunder and rain, it seems to be omnipotent.
There are also powerful weapons to move mountains and burn seas!
The gods of that era were just a belief and did not have any supernatural powers.
Also, humans themselves can control the "supernatural power", what else do the gods do? Do they offer sacrifices like them? Isn't that a bubble in the brain!
Yaeki is full of yearning for this.
In the early morning, when the sky was still bright, Yae Ji got up to take a bath.
Yae Sakura took out a suitable alternate witch costume to dry yesterday, and waited until today to allow Yae Ji to wear.
After bathing, Yae Ji first went to the side hall where the spirit sword was enshrined, and then returned to the house, looking at the shrine maiden costume that Sakura had already prepared for him, and the corners of his eyes twitched unnaturally.
sighed, anyway, this is not the first time he has worn it, when he was a child, when his mother was still there, he wore a small witch costume more than once.
First of all, the black lining, which extends to the neck, resembles a turtleneck sweater from another world, but it is more like an assassin's mask, and it can cover half of the face by pulling it up.
Yaeki honestly put on a black lining, which was eccentric, and the high neck was retained, but there was no extension on the arms.
Next is a pure white top, which also looks like a vest, but this "vest" is staggered in front of it, giving people a very comfortable beauty. The shoulder blades of the "vest" and even the huge opening in front of the neck are well hidden by the black lining, not revealing a trace of skin.
Next is a short skirt in a dark cherry color with purple lines split into a plaid shape.
Yae Ji simply lifted it up neatly.
Seeing this, Sakura on the side stepped forward and took out a wide corset of red cloth and wrapped it around the skirt and upper liner. Then, he took out a wide black and white rope and tied it around his waist, pulled it back, and tied a big bow at the back of his waist.
Then, there are two knee-high white stockings, with red smudge lines on the top.
Yaeki didn't resist this, he had heard that this thing was worn by men at first, and it seemed to have a warming effect.
"Wait!"
Sakura, who was standing in front of Yaeji, was stunned and puzzled, "What's the matter, brother?" ”
Yae Ji touched the fabric of the white stockings and hesitated, "Isn't it too hot to wear this thing this day?" And this black lining. Yaeji tugged at his collar again, "Just now, I feel a stuffy heat. ”
Who knew that Sakura, who has always been well-behaved, had a straight face:
"Brother, you are praying to the fox god, you must dress formally. After praying, even if you finish taking off and go wild in the courtyard, no one will ask you. ”
Yaeji's face was embarrassed, and he pulled the stockings in Sakura's hand, "Okay, okay, I know, can't I wear them?" ”
Two over-the-knee white socks tightly wrapped around her legs, making Yae Ji extremely uncomfortable. He's used to wearing loose clothes, and it's too tight to be comfortable at all.
Yae Ji tugged at the white socks, and the white socks snapped back to the tender white skin of his legs.
"Brother, the alternate witch costume and even the shrine maiden costume are definitely the best fabrics that the village can offer."
Yae Ji rolled her eyes, "Okay, what else?" ”
"And the sleeves."
Yae Ji looked at the two relatively loose strips of cloth handed over by Sakura, and couldn't help but complain: "This is an extra move, it is better to directly extend the upper lining to the arm." ”
"Elder brother." Yae Sakura said seriously, "The materials of the two of them are different. ”
He put on all the leg socks, and the loose sleeves were even more meaningful. Three times five divided by two, Yae Ji tightened the tight band at the wrist of the sleeve.
Yae Sakura blinked and said with a smile, "Brother, the alternate shrine maiden costume is uncomfortable. ”
Yaeji felt the smoothness brought by the silky fabric of the sleeve rubbing against the skin, and it felt quite good.
Yae Ji nodded, "It's very good, and the fight is also very neat, it would be better if I could remove the stockings." I'm still skeptical about its practicality, as it should be worn in winter to keep warm. ”
"It's very comfortable~" Yae Sakura stepped forward and hugged Yae Ji, "You'll get used to it after a long time." ”
The little nose shrugged, and a faint scent of cherry blossoms wafted into his nose.
"Brother, are you going to the side hall where the spirit sword is enshrined again?"
"Well, if you go after bathing, it's more reassuring to look at it."
"That's right." Yae Ji suddenly asked, "Do you know who designed the alternate shrine maiden costume?" ”
"Hmm......" Sakura frowned and pondered, uncertain:
"It's supposed to be a fox god, right?"
......
