The placement in the main room of the Yae God has always been very simple, even simpler than the room of the three Yae Ji siblings.

Father and son sat opposite each other, and neither of them spoke first.

Half a day.

"Hate me?" Yae God asked.

Yaeji glanced at his father in surprise, he had the impression that this man would never say such a thing.

"Hate!" Yae Ji's words were categorical, without a trace of hesitation.

Instead of meeting Yaeji's gaze, the Yae Divine Lord looked at other parts of the house, as if trying to find memories from those places.

"More than twenty years ago, I also resented my father." A self-deprecating smile appeared on the Yae Divine Lord's face, "It's not just him, I hate that woman too." ”

Yae knew that his father was talking about his grandparents, but he didn't have the slightest impression of the two men, and there was no trace of their lives in the shrine.

Yae Ji has learned a lot about the past in the village in recent days, except for Rin, the most recent shrine maiden blood sacrifice happened more than twenty years ago.

At that time, the one who died on the altar and went to serve the fox god with his soul should have been his aunt.

The 'aunt' who was related to him by blood was likely younger than he was now when she went to serve the fox god.

"Why don't you save her?"

The Yae Divine Lord shifted his gaze back to Yae Ji from elsewhere, and the self-deprecation on his face gradually turned to bitterness.

"Ji, you have to know that not everyone has the talent you have." The Yae Shinjo recalls the day of the sacrifice, when two patrolmen pulled him and his voice was hoarse, but what happened?

Yae Ji still couldn't hide his emotions well, and he was obviously not very satisfied with his father's answer.

"In that case! Why should you inflict your pain on your own children? Do you want to be like your grandfather? Do you let your children resent you for the rest of your life?! ”

"Nope." The Yae Divine Lord shook his head, "You don't understand, you're still young, you ......"

"Enough! You're all going to come up with such excuses! You're still young, you're still young, who hasn't grown up as a child? Thinking of the wound on Rin's bare feet, and the thought that Rin might never be able to stand up in his life, the anger in Yaeji's chest gathered again.

"If Mother was still here, she wouldn't have agreed to take Rin to sacrifice!"

Yae Divine Lord, since the death of the shrine maiden in the previous generation, this person with the highest status in Yae Village did not dare to look into the eyes of his own child again.

"No, you don't understand us, even if your mother is still here, that sacrifice will still take place. Your mother will do it herself, just like when she died in the past twenty years......"

"You fart!" Yae Ji said angrily, no longer ignoring years of good upbringing, he stood up directly and yelled at his father in front of him.

"Mother is not like you say! Only you! Only you! My aunt's death has turned you into a psychopath! Your soul is already twisted by then! ”

The Yae God Lord was slightly stunned, he was not surprised by Yae Ji's anger, but because Yae Ji came out of his mouth many terms that he had never heard of.

With the intelligence of the Yae Divine Lord, with a little thought, you can understand what the child in front of you is referring to.

Look directly at it.

"How much alike, almost exactly like me at the beginning, I seem to be more than you. But the result? Mother is still ......"

"She's her! Everyone is different! ”

"But the gods and shrine maidens of the Yae clan will all live the same." The Yae God Lord looked at Yae Ji quietly: "In another ten years, if you sit in my position, you will become like this." ”

"This is the curse and fate of the Yae clan! Everyone ends up being the one they hate the most! ”

"For the sake of the village, for the sake of the Yae clan, we have to sacrifice Rin, just like the previous generation of gods decided to sacrifice Ling more than twenty years ago!"

Yae Ji glared at the Yae God Lord viciously, "At least I will never live like you!" I will never become the person I hate! Curse? Destiny? I never believed in that! Destiny is in your own hands! ”

"Heh~" Yae God Lord smiled, Yae Ji felt inexplicable, since his mother left, he was the first time he had seen his father like this.

"You also said that it won't be like me, you and I were carved out of the same mold. Destiny? From the moment you believe in His existence, you are forever under His control. ”

Yaeji sat down suddenly.

"I'm going to take Rin to Ayutthaya for healing."

"The hamstrings are not well connected."

"Go treat her cough." Yae Ji looked directly at his father and said seriously, "Sakura will follow me too." ”

"Okay."

The Yae Divine Lord's crisp and neat answer made Yae Ji feel unrealistic.

"We probably won't be back for a long time."

"Whatever you want, as long as you wait for me to die, you can be the eightfold god master."

"What if I don't do it?"

The Yae Shinjo turned his head to look at the shrine outside and asked, "Are you willing?" It's not as simple as you think, and the man-eating monsters are terrifying. But there are some people who are thousands of times more terrible than youkai, they not only eat people, but also destroy your consciousness, plunder your soul, and make you worse than dead. ”

"Yae Village has been around longer than Shinano Province, so why have we survived? We are blessed by the fox god and protected by the Yae clan. ”

Yae Ji listened quietly and said, "You can't scare me, my will is still firm." ”

"You can actually leave Sakura behind." Lord Yae advised.

"No, she'll go with me too. You have lived with your mother since you were a child, don't you know what her childhood was like? ”

"That's fate."

Yae Ji shook her head and stood up again, "I never believed in those things, and when the rain stops and Rin is better, we'll leave for Oshiro." ”

The Yae Priest, who was sitting there, also stood up and said, "There is a box in the warehouse that contains Shinano's coins, and the doctor will not treat Rin in vain." ”

"I see."

"Wait." Yae Shinjo called Yae Ji, but he turned and walked towards the inner room, and after a while, he walked out of the house with a long box.

Hand it to Yaeji, "Take this." ”

Yae Ji was puzzled, opened the long box, and Sakura Fukiyuki lay quietly in it.

As if sensing the arrival of Yaeji, Sakura Fukiyuki couldn't wait to tremble slightly, and let out a sword groan.

"Thank you."

Yae Ji closed the sword case, put his arm through a black belt on the box, and carried it behind his back, turning around to leave.

"Ji, I hope you can come back in the future. At least until I die......"

Yaeji waved his hand and didn't look back: "When the wells in the village are enough for fields and animals, and after those harmful dogmas are abolished, I will consider coming back." ”

"After all, this is my home."

......

Ps. Think about the past, what is everyone like now?

Pss. Because of the number of words, the big guy who rewarded him will thank you tomorrow, and today (the author's words) I will report a wave of results first, and by the way, it will sell miserably.

Psss. I went through the program, and by the way, I stretched out my little hand to ask for a recommendation ticket.
