Chapter 8: Purity
"Lord God, it hasn't rained for two months, and if it goes on like this, the whole village will be finished."
The villager sitting next to him echoed the old woman, "Yes, Lord God, the candidate has been decided, you see...... Shouldn't we prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice today? ”
The middle-aged man sitting on the throne lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Cool ...... What does her family say? ”
"Being able to dedicate her as a sacrifice to the great fox god is simply a blessing from the cultivation of three lives!" A middle-aged woman below said with a fiery face, looking at her face, she was seven points similar to the girl named 'Liang'.
"Yes, Lord God, I can give everything to the fox god and pray for the blessing of the village, this is ......"
The old woman spoke again, and the surrounding villagers echoed. In the village, with the exception of Yae Shrine, the villagers tend to respect the elderly who have lived for a long time.
And this old woman is tantamount to the most "respectable" one of them, what she said, even as the god of the Yae Shrine, has to consider one or two.
Outside the council hall, Yae Ji stopped Dasuke, at this time, Dasuke glared angrily, his chest rose and fell violently, his two big hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his arms were bulging one by one, just standing beside him, he could feel a sense of irritability.
"Calm down." Yaju Ji said lightly: "If you rush in to sabotage one, Liang will be completely hopeless." ”
Yaeji's words were like a bucket of cold and biting cold water, completely extinguishing the anger in Daisuke's heart.
Daisuke's whole person was like a deflated ball, languishing, and muttered, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I ...... I ......"
As he spoke, this man, who usually claimed to stand up to the sky, sobbed quietly.
Yae Ji furrowed her delicate eyebrows, dissatisfied with Daisuke's performance.
"If you think about it for a night, you can't come up with an idea to convince them?"
"I ...... I ......"
Daisuke is like a child who has lost a toy, helpless.
"I went to look for a cool in the middle of the night, she ...... She ......"
"What's wrong with her?" Yaeki was impatient.
She ...... She gave me her body......" A voice as thin as a mosquito spat out the tall man's mouth, shocking Yaeji.
"This is blasphemy!" Yae Ji lowered his throat, hating iron and not making steel.
As soon as he heard the words blasphemy, Daisuke, who was already sluggish, turned pale in an instant, and the words in his mouth came out directly without thinking: "I just thought that the sacrifice to the fox god must be a pure daughter, if the body is cold, then ......"
Yaeji had a gloomy face, although he had seen the strangeness of the other world at a young age, he had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
"Alas~ You go in and tell them to go by yourself, I can't help you."
Daisuke lowered his head, "Thank you." ”
Yae Ji gave him a deep look and turned forward.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
"Father, I have something to see."
"Enter!"
Yaeji pushed open the wooden door of the council hall, and the villagers, who had originally looked sad or fanatical, all put on kind and smiling expressions. They all exuded kindness to Yaeji.
As the next deity of Yae Shrine, building a good relationship in advance is the last word.
Yae Ji looked around, and then looked at the Yae God Lord who was sitting on the main seat.
"Father, about tomorrow's sacrifice...... There may have been some surprises. ”
"Accident?"
The faces of the people around changed one after another, if an ordinary little hairy child dared to say this, they wouldn't believe it at all, but Yae Ji, who was the child of the god master, ......
"Daisuke, you explain it yourself."
Yae Ji shouted outside, bowed to the Yae God Lord sitting on the main seat, and silently retreated to the corner of the council hall to act as a small transparent.
The tall and thin Dasuke trembled and walked into the hall step by step, so many people looked at him, and he was under great pressure in his heart.
Among the villagers, a middle-aged couple had a noticeable change in face.
"Lord God!"
Daisuke fell to his knees.
"I grew up with Ryo since childhood, and I ......"
Daisuke said a bunch of things, and it sounds like Yaeki is all nonsense! Sure enough, the villagers who came to discuss the sacrificial ceremony looked impatient one by one, and some even looked at him, as if they were very dissatisfied with his interruption of the discussion.
"Just yesterday, Liang handed over her body to me, she is no longer a pure daughter, and she asked the Lord God to ......"
"You fart!" Among the villagers, a middle-aged woman jumped out, "My family is cold and clear, and I have never messed around with any wild boys!" Yesterday I went to bed early, which round got you toad to steal fish! ”
"Liang is a sacrifice to be sacrificed to the fox god, how can his noble status be defiled by a wild baby like you!"
"That's it!"
"Full of nonsense!"
"How could Lord Ji have such a friend!"
"What about his parents?"
The originally quiet council hall was suddenly as noisy as a vegetable market, and even the Yae God Lord gestured towards Yae Ji with his eyes.
Yae Ji shook his head and continued to be his little transparent.
He can only do this for Daisuke and Ryo, and ...... He also wanted to use this incident to test the villagers' attitude towards sacrifices and gods.
If he continued like this, he was afraid that Rin would also encounter a poisonous hand!
"Silence!"
The Yae God Lord, who was sitting on the throne, spoke, and the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.
"Lord God! My family Liang is really a pure daughter, don't listen to that wild child's nonsense! My family is definitely qualified to serve the great fox god! ”
"I think I'll leave this matter to my mother-in-law to verify, isn't it over?" Someone next to him said.
......
Yaeki was in a low mood, and before Daisuke was imprisoned by the patrol, he specially saluted him, and blood flowed out again from the wound that had just been bandaged last night. However, Daisuke's face was very relaxed, and his body was broken, and Ryo, who was not a pure daughter, could not be sacrificed to the gods, and it seemed that the girl named 'Ryo' should have escaped a death catastrophe.
Listening to the villagers' comments about him, Yaeji's face remained unchanged. If he becomes the deity of Yae Shrine, he will definitely reverse the villagers' fanatical attitude towards the gods! It will definitely make the villagers enlightened!
Back in the room, Sakura was wielding a wooden knife for training, and Rin was sitting in the bunk looking at her heroic sister with little stars in her eyes, clapping her little hands from time to time, and saying words of praise to Sakura.
"Brother! Have you brought Sakura Blowing Snow with you? ”
Hearing Rin's voice, Sakura stopped waving and turned her head to look at Yaeki. It's clear that both sisters have a pretty strong interest in Sakurabuki.
"Uh...... Wait a minute. ”
Yae Ji quickly ran to the side hall where the spirit sword was enshrined, and today's Daisuke incident almost made him forget his promise to the two little guys.
Picking up the cherry blossoms from the wooden frame and blowing the snow, the special effects of the bells and whistles of the cherry blossoms resurfaced.
Yae Ji walked towards the house with a knife.
In the hospital.
"Father."
The middle-aged man glanced at Sakurabuki Snow in Yaeji's hand and said, "When there are no monsters coming, Sakurabuki Snow must be enshrined in the shrine." ”
"Yes!"
"Also, tomorrow's festival will be held as usual, and you will bring Sakura to the ceremony."
