All the way to the front of the house, Yae Sakura was smiling, completely immersed in her beautiful fantasies.

She is not afraid, everything has a brother.

She sees her brother's excellence in her eyes, and she is a person who can definitely be relied on.

From then on, she no longer had to fall into the nightmare of a shrine maiden presiding over a sacrifice and slashing innocent children with blood. Rin doesn't need to worry, just stay in the big city and let the doctors see you.

Brother's words...... My brother is so powerful, even if he becomes the general of the big city of Shinano Province, it will be easy, right?

But isn't that too dangerous? I heard that there are many snacks in the big city, so can she sell the rice balls she wrapped? Brother and Rin, don't you always praise the rice balls for being delicious?

If he can earn enough living expenses, his brother doesn't have to risk hunting monsters, as long as he ...... As long as......

The smile on Yae Sakura's face became brighter and brighter, and under the sunlight, her skin like congealed white jade even produced an unrealistic and illusory feeling.

'Rin didn't cough, it's good. ’

The little hand clasped on the door panel and pulled hard.

"Rin! ～”

How crisp and pleasant the sound is so wonderful.

"Uhhh

The sliding door-style door is pulled to the side.

The smile on Yae Sakura's little face immediately froze.

The room was dim, and the shop where Rin was originally located was neatly stacked, like tofu blocks.

There was no one in the house, not even Sakurabukiyuki, who had been placed by the elder brother to accompany Rin at the bunk, had disappeared.

"Smack~"

Yae Sakura thought of a lot of things in an instant, her eyes were glazed, her little hands lost their strength, and the small black cloth bag filled with the belongings of the three siblings fell to the ground with a soft sound.

"Rin......" Yae Sakura's voice trembled, and her steps were as vain as those of the drunkards in the village.

"Rin? Where are you? Don't joke with your sister, okay? Hide-and-seek game we can ......"

"Sakura, why are you here?"

The indifferent voice of the man behind him interrupted Yae Sakura's fantasy: "The sacrifice has been advanced to this afternoon, Rin has been brought to the altar, you should also prepare to leave, bring your sword." ”

The Yae Divine Lord clasped his hands on his chest and swept the small bag that had fallen to the ground without leaving a trace.

"Let's go, all the villagers are waiting for you at the castle tower."

Yae Sakura's petite body trembled slightly, and she turned around stiffly, her dull eyes revealing fear and incomprehension.

It's like draining every ounce of strength in your body.

"Ordinary sacrifices, no ...... Aren't they all held at shrines? How did you ...... this time?"

"For the witch bloodline, it must be grand." The Yae Divine Lord still had the same indifferent tone, without the excitement, excitement, or reluctance of other families to sacrifice their children. On that face that has not changed for thousands of years, there is a look of "it is like this".

"Let's go, Rin can't wait too long. It was her honor to send her to serve the fox god. Even she herself is happy that she has contributed to the village. ”

Hearing this news was like a bolt from the blue.

Yae Sakura was at a loss, she didn't want to agree, she wanted to shout out to her brother, but she was afraid that something would go wrong on the side of the sacrifice, so a random elder with more seniority went to hold it......

"Yes."

Yae Sakura nodded with difficulty and left the shrine with the Yae Priest.

At this time, Yaeji, who had just walked out of the side warehouse at the back of the temple, ran into Nozawa and Hiyoshimaru's sister.

This made him wonder in his heart, why did the two people who couldn't fight each other on weekdays suddenly appear in front of him? It's actually at the door of the shrine warehouse at the back of the temple.

"Hahaha, Lord Ji." Nozawa hurriedly stepped forward, and the exaggerated laughter made Yae Ji even more inexplicable.

"I heard that Lord Ji went to the canyon alone early this morning to explore the secrets, and he didn't tell me about this, so I took a few team members to pick up at the valley mouth."

"A few of us are free in the afternoon, do you want to bring us, Lord Ji? We're definitely not going to hold you back, we're just going to pick you up at Taniguchi. ”

Yae Ji glanced at him suspiciously, "The source has been settled, and if nothing else, there will be no monsters around the village in a short period of time." Everyone can rest assured to go out of the village and go to the big city to buy supplies. ”

"Ahh Nozawa was shocked, "That's good news. ”

Nozawa's eyes quietly glanced at the women's Hiyoshimaru, and kept signaling to her.

Hiyoshimaru's voice sounded, not caring at all about the blood and mud on Yaeji's body, his little hand was pulled up lightly, and Hiyoshimaru was embarrassed to find that his hand was much thicker than Yaeji.

Even the colors don't match much.

Hiyoshimaru comforted himself in his heart that he was a boy, and Yaeki was actually a girl......

"Ji-sama~"

The sound made Yae Ji shiver from his tail bone and pull his hand from the girl he didn't know very well.

"Oops~ Since Lord Ji has returned victoriously, he naturally wants to celebrate. Why don't you go to the bath first, our little sisters have already ......."

"Yes, yes!" Nozawa smiled very honestly and echoed on the side.

Yae Ji was expressionless, but he knew what kind of person Nozawa was, don't look at his honest face, in fact, he is still quite scheming, and he knows how to manage his identity. When he was digging wells, he was still a member of the patrol team, and through contact with him, he gradually became a team leader and an elite member.

Since the death of the patrol leader and several other elites, Yae Ji has heard that this one has temporarily taken over the patrol. The speed of promotion is simply beyond the imagination of the other patrol members.

As for this Hiyoshimaru's sister, the more he looks at it, the more awkward he becomes.

The two of them twisted back and forth in front of him like demons and monsters.

"When things go wrong, there must be demons."

Words popped up in his mind, and with the amount of Yaeji accumulated now, he could barely understand the meaning of these words and sentences.

He didn't care about it just now, but now it seems that ......

Nozawa's movements and tone were exaggerated, as if he was performing carefully, but unexpectedly, he was nervous and made a mess of the whole drama.

Sweat oozing from his forehead and the tip of his nose, and his eyes glancing wildly...... It's like a theatrical clown who has failed to perform in a big city.

Nozawa was looking in the ...... The castle tower!

A trace of uneasiness rose in Yaeji's heart, he was very anxious when he came, and the artist was bold, he took Sakura to dare to walk down the path from the back mountain.

Thinking about it, she didn't even hear Rin coughing when she passed by the house.

And the exaggerated and funny acting skills of these two people, as well as the posture that faintly surrounds him, seem to be delaying time.

Don't......

"Get out of the way!"

Yae Ji pulled out his palm and cut past the two of them.

"Stop Lord Ji!"

Nozawa's exaggerated acting skills disappeared and he yelled!

In the blink of an eye, several shadows flashed from the council hall and several other side halls.

are all members of the patrol.

"Smack!"

Calf force, instantaneous step skills are used to the extreme!

Yaeji's whole person rose into the sky, like a sharp arrow, and jumped onto the roof in an instant.

From this angle, he could clearly see the houses on the side of the shrine.

The small black cloth bag fell to the ground, and the wide open door was dark.

But Yaeki is sure that there is absolutely no one inside!

Look down.

The expressions of several members of the patrol froze.

They had never seen anything like it.

Even in the fierce wolf demon, they had never seen such devouring killing intent.

......
