The Spirit Knife Sakura Blowing Snow trembled lightly in its hand, as if to express its dissatisfaction with this black cauldron.

The atmosphere in the room was very awkward at one point.

"Father?"

The slightly thin middle-aged man in front of him came back to his senses from Sakurabuki, swept towards Yajuki, and asked, "Was it the knife wave from Sakurabuki just now?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yaeji's little head is like a pestle pounding garlic, "It's Sakura's hand blowing the snow." ”

Yae Ji looked up at his father, who had always been strict, and the look of surprise and joy on his face made Yae Ji very puzzled.

Could it be ...... The spirit knife Sakura blowing snow is really like the legend, whoever picks it up, who is its owner?

"Ji, anyone can pick up the spirit knife enshrined in the shrine, but if you want it to unleash a sword wave, you must have a pure daughter with high respect for the gods to succeed. Before that, there was another condition, the person who held Sakurabuki had a sword heart that broke free from the shackles. ”

At this time, Yae Ji didn't know what expression to put on, and he had high respect for the gods? Secretly slandering the gods is also counted? The Daughter of Purity? But he's a man! In the future, even if the son inherits his father's business, it will be the new Yae Shrine Master, not the shrine maiden of the Yae Shrine.

One final note...... Kenshin who broke free from the shackles?

Isn't that? He only remembered that he was in a daze in his dream, and he used his skills to light up the branch of [Falling Sakura Slash]. Is this even if you have a sword heart that breaks free from the shackles?

And what happened in the dream, should I tell my father?

Worried, Yaeki followed his father to the open space in the center of the shrine.

"Cast a set of [Falling Cherry Blossom Slash] in that direction, remember, don't split it."

"Hmm."

Yae Ji nodded, and the direction his father pointed to was the gate of Yae Shrine, and the so-called gate of Yae Shrine was only supported by two pillars, and you could see the scene outside at a glance.

Below the shrine gate is a staircase that is not low, and the path leading to the shrine staircase is full of trees, but because of the drought, there are only a few dead leaves on the canopy of those big trees, and after a gust of wind, the last trace of dignity of the canopy is gone, leaving only a bare head.

Yae Ji condensed slightly, and quickly unleashed the six-stage slash like a cloud of water, and in the fifth stage, which is known as the watershed, the spirit knife held in Yae Ji's hand suddenly bloomed into a cherry blossom knife wave, and slashed straight towards the crown of the tree on the path outside the shrine gate!

"Click~"

Now, even the bare head of the tree was gone.

The cherry blossom knife wave also gradually dissipated not far away.

"How do you feel?" Yae God asked.

"Uh...... Sakura blowing snow is a bit of a burden on my body, and I can't perform it a few times like falling cherry blossoms, and my physical strength can't support it. Yaeji said truthfully.

"Hmm." The Eightfold Divine Lord nodded: "Put the spirit knife back to the place of worship, and you can go to the side hall to accompany the spirit knife every day in the future." ”

The Yae Divine Lord turned around and took just two steps, then turned around again, "There is a sacrifice held the day after tomorrow, you take Sakura with you, let her study more." ”

The sacrifice I had when I was a child and the sacrifices offered to the gods flashed back to my mind...... Yaeji's body trembled imperceptibly.

"Yes!"

......

Yae Ji put the spirit knife back into the side hall to enshrine it, and he had a lot of questions. Why is he a man able to use Sakurabuki Snow to emit incredible power? Why did he have what his father called "Kenshin" overnight? ”

Yaeji sat on the futon in the middle of the side hall, closing his eyes and thinking hard.

It didn't take long for someone to repair the wooden door of the side hall, and when they saw Yae Ji sitting there, they glanced at the spirit knife that emitted a faint light, and the two villagers first bowed to the enshrined spirit knife, and then began to carefully repair the wooden door.

"Squeak~"

With a soft sound, the carpenter who had repaired the wooden door bowed to the spirit knife again before closing the door and leaving. And Yae Ji still sat there motionless.

I imagined the weird blue panel out of thin air, but I couldn't press it, and it didn't feel real at all.

'Only dreams come about?' ’

Yae Ji was unsure of his mind, the blue panel that appeared in his dream was somewhat similar to the image that appeared on the evil box, and he also encountered the strange world of steel and cement in his dream, and in that world, everyone seemed to have an "evil box", which is called a strange existence called a "mobile phone".

After lunch, Yae Ji casually made up a story to dismiss the two curious kittens, and continued to return to the side hall where the spirit knife was enshrined to meditate.

Evening.

Yaeji pushed open the wooden door of the side hall that had just been renovated, and found a dark shadow in the main hall dedicated to the gods.

Frowning, Yae Ji felt that things were not quite ordinary.

Usually, even if there are villagers who come to worship, it is mostly in the early morning, and even in the afternoon at noon, but in the evening when the sky is about to dark, they come to worship the gods, and it is the first time in many years that Yaeji has been seen.

Passing by the entrance of the main hall dedicated to the fox god, Yaeji vaguely saw a familiar figure.

"Daisuke?"

The distance was too far for the young man named Daisuke to hear at all, but instead knelt on the ground reverently, and then ......

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Daisuke felt like he had gone mad, slamming his head on the hard floor again and again.

The voice......

"Crazy." Yae Ji shook his head, Daisuke was a few years older than him, and the two were not too familiar, and Yae Ji didn't want to care about his business.

Walking back to the resting room on the left side of the shrine, Yaeki saw Sakura and Rin, two little girls with big eyes shining at him.

Touching his face, Yae Ji smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Yae Sakura, dressed in a small shrine maiden costume, came up to him and shook her little nose, sniffing him like a little fox.

"The legend is true, the spirit sword Sakura blowing snow can really exud the fragrance of cherry blossoms."

"Huh?" Yae Ji was a little confused.

"Brother, I want to smell the scent of Sakurabuki Snow too!" Yae Rin, who was sitting in the bunk, said expectantly.

Yaeki walked over and rubbed Rin's little head, "What do you think?" If Rin is curious, I'll bring Sakurabuki over tomorrow so you can see enough. ”

"Really?" Sakura and Rin asked in unison.

"Really."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really!"

"Brother is the best!"

"Long live my brother! ≧▽≦”

Just as the three siblings were playing, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Sakura and Rin immediately sat there honestly like good babies.

Usually the people who come here at this point are my father.

......

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Yae Ji was puzzled, at most, his father would knock on the door and come in, but today?

Isn't it the father?

Yae Ji instantly remembered Daisuke who had come to the shrine to worship the gods before.

Step forward and open the door.

Sure enough, it was the tall and thin Daisuke.

"Can I come in?"

Looking at Daisuke, whose forehead was covered in blood, Yae Ji nodded with difficulty.

"Sakura, go get some linen."

......
