The old woman fooled the villagers, saying that it would definitely rain in a few days, and the old woman was highly respected in the village, so most of the villagers accepted this fact.

Yaeki saw that the people who had been discussing the sacrifice a few days ago had gathered again to discuss other matters with his father.

Regardless of the rest, Yaeji thinks that the "mother-in-law", who is quite prestigious among the villagers, is extremely suspicious.

Could it be that after examining Liang's body, she tried to deceive the gods?

Liang's body was carried to the back mountain for burial by several villagers who dealt with the aftermath, and Liang's mother was still in an emotional breakdown, and only her father saw her off.

No one cleaned the blood splattered on the altar, and the blood stains were washed away after a heavy rain, this time...... The inexperienced villagers did not dare to walk up to the altar alone to clean the blood, lest they anger the gods.

"Let's go."

Yae Ji patted her sister's shoulder and said softly.

"Oh."

Yae Sakura was depressed, and he didn't know what to say to comfort. This is the pressure that every generation of shrine maidens has to bear, and if things go according to normal development, in a few years, Sakura will be the only one who holds a sharp blade on the altar and offers sacrifices to the gods.

The days passed, and for many days Yaeki did not dream of that other world made of steel and concrete.

In the dream, the skill points on the blue panel are slowly increasing, but unfortunately those skill points are not yet able to light up Yaeji's most curious [Prajna Heart].

Sakura becomes reticent.

Under Yaeji's guidance, Sakura's physical fitness and swordsmanship have grown rapidly. In this context, the person in charge of feeding Rin decoction has become Yaeji.

"Wow~"

Looking down at the freshwater in the vat, Yae Ji subconsciously licked his chapped lips again.

"No, someone seems to have said in my dream that licking your lips when you're thirsty will only get drier and drier." Yae Ji shook his head, and his ear-length pink hair swayed with it, no longer having the fragrance of the past, but with a strange smell of rancidness.

He hadn't bathed for too many days, and yesterday there were two villagers in the village fighting over fresh water. It's not surprising that even the highest shrine in the village doesn't have enough fresh water, let alone ordinary people.

After absentmindedly decocting Rin's decoction, Yaeki returned to the house and fed Rin a spoonful by spoonful.

The sun is scorching outside, and except for early in the morning, Yae Sakura mostly practices swordsmanship at night, and during the day, she is called by her father to learn about shrine maidens.

After feeding Rin the medicine, Yaeji, who had nothing to do, sat in the middle of the house and looked out in the shade, even if the wind blew in the sultry weather, it was still a hot wind.

Yaeji wanted to swallow again.

Thirsty, thirsty.

Now that the supply of fresh water is insufficient, he can only reduce the needs of his body as much as possible.

Suddenly, there was the sound of running outside.

"Brother, brother! Father-sama asked you to take a knife to the entrance of the shrine to find him! ”

Before anyone could get into the house, Sakura's voice came first.

Yaeji hurriedly got up, took the sword from the wooden frame casually, hung it around his waist, and pressed the handle of the knife lightly with his right hand to ensure the balance of the whole knife.

When he ran forward, he saw Yae Sakura, who was sweating finely on his forehead, and asked, "What is the matter with my father?" ”

"Whew~" The petite girl gasped and said, "Some villagers ran to my father and said it was ...... Say someone has turned into a monster! ”

"Monsters?" Yaeki instantly thought of the bear demon he had seen before, and then thought of the monster that was dominated by the hatred of youkai recorded in the shrine.

"Don't go anywhere if you stay at home! Mark what I say! Yae Ji said solemnly, and then ran towards the door of the shrine.

"Be careful!"

Yae Ji waved his hand behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he ran down the steps of the shrine gate.

Around the corner, his father and a villager were waiting for him.

The villager's face was anxious, and when he saw Yae Ji coming, he saluted slightly, and then said eagerly: "Lord God, please hurry up, I'm afraid that the wooden door won't be able to stop them!" ”

"Let's run!"

......

The three of them set off from the trail, crossed the small bridge by the river, and ran less than 20 meters further on, and there were houses of villagers.

In front of one of the houses, several relatively sturdy young people stood up, and the door shook a few times from time to time.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Lord God and Lord Ji are here! ”

The onlookers gave way to the villagers, and they didn't panic when they saw the crowd, and there shouldn't be many people who turned into monsters, so Yae Ji was relieved.

"Tell me what's going on?"

The Yae Divine Lord spoke.

"Oops! Your Excellency, you're finally here, and you won't come again......"

"It's all Daisuke's wild boy who came back to do something!"

"Liang's family is really pitiful, she doesn't have the blessing source to serve the gods, not to mention, even her parents have become monsters."

"You say...... Could it be that the little girl who was resentful and turned into a demon to take revenge? ”

"It's Daisuke! It's Daisuke! ”

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and the Yae Divine Lord frowned and shouted, "Okay! Don't even speak! Who knows best, stand up and tell me! ”

As the head of the shrine, this majesty is still there. The crowd quieted down, everyone look at me, I look at you, no one spoke first.

"Lord God, I'm a neighbor of her family." A middle-aged man who was as thin as ribs, as if any gust of wind could blow it down, stood up and said.

"You speak!"

"Yes, Lord God. I don't know much.,After Daisuke was released a few days ago.,He came to Ryo's house.,It should be that after learning about Ryo's death.,Quarrel with Ryo's parents at her house.,Listening to the voice.,Probably moved his hands and feet.。 ”

"My kid saw Daisuke in the back mountain that evening, and he disappeared after that. Until this morning, Daisuke suddenly returned! He came to Liang's house again with a fierce beast's front leg, saying that he wanted to come to the door to apologize. ”

"After that, Junshu next door went to Liang's house to borrow something, and all we heard was a hissing sound, and then there was no follow-up."

"Those strong guys said that they saw the appearance of a man-eating monster when they were children, and hurriedly blocked the door of her house, probably like that."

The father didn't speak, and Yae Ji, who was standing next to his father, didn't say a word, but the palm that held the handle of the knife was a lot harder, and the pair of blue and purple eyes also flashed from time to time.

"Bang! ——”

There was a bang, and the dust on the door beam shook down, and several strong young men blushed.

"Quick! Those monsters are too strong, we won't last long! ”

"Daisuke didn't know where to get a monster's front leg, it was definitely eaten by the two of them, and under the influence of the monster's hatred, it became a monster that can only eat people!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How can Daisuke do this! ”

The voices in the crowd were raised again.

"Are you sure?"

Yae Ji was stunned for a moment, and looked up at his father who was talking to him.

......
