"New Year? It seems that I have really been wandering outside for too long, and I have even forgotten about this kind of festival...... "For youkai, festivals like New Year's Day, which need to be celebrated every 365 days, are too frequent, and over time, not too many youkai will deliberately remember such days, and Ye Yu is no exception."

"But speaking of which, it's also good to be lively like this once in a while~~" Walking in the crowd, in this noisy and bustling, Ye Yu is more like a passerby, as long as he is unwilling, no matter how dense the flow of people around him is, don't think that anyone can see him, let alone touch him......

Ye Yu is like a reef standing in the turbulence, everyone who comes to him will be separated to both sides like flowing water, and these subconsciously induced guys have never even realized the fact that they have been induced.

The New Year is lively, compared to other festivals, this day of reunion and hope for a better future in the new year has been accompanied by the most solemn festivals since ancient times, and because festivals often come in late winter and early spring, so families who usually farm will also enjoy the most leisure of the year at this time, so many reasons to gather together It is no wonder that everyone gathered here is laughing from the heart.

This kind of joy also infected Ye Yu to a certain extent, living alone in the remote mountains for so long, although he was accompanied by his family, although he liked the quiet atmosphere from beginning to end, but when he came into contact with such a scene again after many years, Ye Yu still inevitably sank here...... Of course, all he was immersed in was this festival full of happiness and hustle and bustle, and when the sun rose the next day, the festival would disperse, and he would return to his former quiet self.

But before that, enjoying all this is the most important thing to do, anyway, Ye Yu has never lacked money, whether it is street snacks or those games that look rough, as long as he sees it, he will try it if he is slightly interested, and after a while, Ye Yu has more apple candy, masks, a few goldfish and other gadgets in his hands.

Ye Yu, who was surprisingly always troublesome, did not put these things in his personal space as usual, but just carried them unhurriedly to the mountain not far away...... That's where this flow of people ends. Moriya Shrine has been sheltering here for many years.

Of course, Ye Yu had no intention of going up the mountain with these people at all, after all, it was really rude for him to rush to someone else's god's domain so rashly as a god, not to mention that there is not only Suwako in the Shouya Shrine now, in fact, it is the Yaban Great Ming God who is in front of the stage, isn't it...... It is said that she does not have a good temper. Ye Yu didn't want to fight with others at the beginning of the new year.

But Suwako still has to meet, not to mention the friendship between the two back then, Ye Yu estimates that now he wants to complete the task of finding a witch girl, and he still has to rely on this little guy, I believe that she has been a god for so long, and the news of the witch must be clearer than Ye Yu's, and even if you can find a suitable one from her family's temple, it is not certain...... The Moriya Shrine looks quite large from the outside, and there are many shrine maidens who come to serve inside.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Ye Yu separated from the flow of people. Although he had never been sure why most of the shrines were built on the mountains, it made it easier for him to carry out his plans.

Going around to the back of the mountain, the completely undeveloped mountain area here is like a forbidden place for ordinary civilians, and there may be wild beasts at night, so no one will pay attention to it except for a guy like Ye Yu, but Ye Yu is different, and going up the mountain from here is no different from walking on flat ground, and even if he flies up, it is not impossible...... It's just that he thinks that it will be a long time before the end of the festival, so he doesn't plan to walk up slowly.

"Suwako's strength is much stronger...... It seems that she must have recovered from the original trauma. As soon as Ye Yu stepped into the enveloped area of this mountain, he immediately felt two extraordinary powers, one from the earth, which was the power of Suwako, which Ye Yu was familiar with, and the other from the sky, which was too specific Ye Yu to analyze for a while. But it should probably be related to wind and rain, and I think it should be the power of the eight-plate god.

Ye Yu used his divine power to simulate himself into a beam of starlight, so that he didn't have to worry about being discovered for the time being, anyway, he wasn't trying to sneak in, after all, he just wanted to meet his old friends, so this was enough, no matter what, he would always be noticed after a while, wouldn't it.

Ye Yu's speed is not fast, but it is by no means slow, it didn't take long for him to tour the entire back mountain, and finally chose a lake as the place where he made an appointment with Suwako, the quiet lake, the bright moon in the sky, and the evening breeze blowing slowly at night, if there were a few more gorgeous flowers, it would be the best, but it was still the end of winter, so I still don't force it.

At this time, the sound of Kagura playing slowly came from the other side of the mountain. I think that the climax of the festival has arrived, and the kagura dance of the shrine maidens has always been the finale, and the holy shrine maidens with the solemn and solemn dance are really beautiful, but since he saw Yuyuko's dance, Ye Yu has a feeling that the sea has been difficult to water, and the rest of the Kagura dance is difficult to arouse his interest.

"But it's also good to listen to Kagura or something~~" With Ye Yu's hearing. Even from such a distance, Kagura in front of the mountain could still be transmitted clearly and unmistakably in his ears, and Ye Yu, who was accompanied by the sound of music, also began his preparations...... He laid out a picnic cloth and other things that were necessary in the field, then he gathered a few dead leaves from the surrounding area, and then dug a hole in the ground and threw the sweet potatoes he had brought with him......

That's right, that's what he's going to use to lure Suwako, roasted sweet potatoes or something...... I believe that she has never eaten since she became a high god~~ After all, no believer would pay tribute to the gods.

"Fortunately, I dug ......a little bit when I passed by a field a few days ago," while carefully looking at the flame Ye Yu, he said to himself, he didn't like to eat this thing, but that day he somehow dug some out of the ghost. I guess this can also be boiled down to the word fate......

While taking care of the flames, Ye Yu placed three wine cups on top of the picnic cloth, and then filled them with wine, and all that left to do was waiting...... I believe that with the sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes and the mellow aroma of light wine, Suwako will be caught soon~~ (To be continued.) )
