(This is chapter 18, and the previous chapter was incorrectly named...... ）

"No, that's the ......" In order to prove the correctness of her statement, Sanae did not hesitate to spend a lot of effort to find the book that once recorded Ye Yu's appearance from the library, and turned to Ye Yu's portrait and pointed it to Tsubasa......

Even if it is a compliment, it is completely impossible to say how accurate the portrait on it is, and the passage of time has made the paper used for recording at that time have already turned into a withered yellow, like a dead branch and fallen leaves that will break if you touch it, it would be good to have 2 points of resemblance to Ye Yu himself...... But even so, it can still be seen that the figure drawn on it has a lot in common with the image that Tsubasa will meet, and it is probably not convincing to say that this is a coincidence.

"This is really ......" Things have developed to this point, and Tsubasa doesn't know what to do at all, could it be that the one he saw that day was really a god-sama? A god who wants to go to his friend's house and gets lost...... Poof, the thought of this possibility almost made Tsubasa want to laugh.

Well, there are some discrepancies in some places, but I really guessed right when it came to getting lost......

"I'm really sorry...... There is no one Hanekawa sister is looking for here at my shrine. Although she was following the wishes of the gods, Sanae still felt guilty for lying to such a kind girl who didn't bother to come to confirm the situation because she was worried. Especially after the two of them informed each other of their names, this guilt became even heavier, after all, Sanae knew each other's names in her cognition, so they could be considered friends. Cheating on a friend or something......

By the way, a worldview like Sanae's is very tenable in theory. But in fact, it is very incompatible with today's real society...... In any case, all of this must have been caused by the teachings of the two gods when she was a child. Kanako, that's not the case, let alone knowing the name and becoming friends. If you drink with each other once, you will not hesitate to pay for your life in order to help...... That's why Ye Yu likes to be friends with big monsters, and this boldness is enough to make people feel sorry.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not Sanae's fault......" Sanae's apology made Tsubasa who was still in the dark a little confused, but she only thought it was a girl's favor and didn't think much about it, so she waved her hand again and again to signal that she didn't have to care. From the conversation just now, she asked Sanae's name and age in addition to the various circumstances of the Shouya Shrine clearly, and successfully made Tsubasa a little suspicious whether Sanae didn't care about these at all or was she just a good deception...... In any case, this girl's defensiveness is really a little too low.

"I don't know how she has lived for so many years...... "After learning that Sanae's parents died early, Tsubasa also felt a sense of sympathy, whether it was better to be alone like her since she was a child but free enough, or was it more comfortable to think like a caged bird like herself...... Either way, it's not good.

"Hmm...... What is Sister Hazukawa going to do next? After a moment of silence, Sanae felt that she should make up for it no matter what. But when it came to the specific method, the girl was in a difficult situation, so she had no choice but to continue to ask as if she had nothing to say, "Do you want to continue to look for that child?" ”

"No...... Tsubasa's accident simply made Sanae a little puzzled, and the girl didn't explain, turned her head and smiled at Sanae and continued, "I'm going to go to the public library...... I'm almost done with all the books in it, but there's nowhere to go......"

"Books? Does Sister Hanekawa like books......" Sanae subconsciously ignored the fact that Tsubasa had almost finished reading all the books in the library, and asked with some surprise, "There are still many books in the shrine, most of them are old books...... Sister Hanekawa, do you want to read it? ”

"Really?" Sanae's proposal surprised Tsubasa Dai, but it was absolutely impossible to say that he was not interested, if Moriya Shrine really existed for many years. Most of the collections here should be solitary, which is very attractive to the knowledge-seeking wing.

"Of course!" Sanae, who was worried about how to compensate the other party, was relieved to find that Tsubasa was indeed very interested in it, "But if you can...... It would be better if Sister Hanekawa could help sort out the books inside~~ This was originally my job. But I'm really not very good at reading......"

Sanae stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, although Suwako had told her many times before that she should read more books, but until now Sanae is still the type who gets a headache when she sees a large paragraph of text...... So it would be great to have someone like Hanekawa who could help her.

"No problem. It's just sorting out books~~" In the face of the temptation of books, what Sanae said was just a trivial matter. It's just that the only thing that makes Tsubasa care is really ......

"Work? Maybe I'm too careful...... But since Sanae lives here alone, it always feels a little inappropriate to describe the matter of organizing bookshelves as a job...... "Maybe it's a preconceived notion that Tsubasa always feels that someone is hiding something from this shrine." But it's not a bad thing to think about......

And soon when Sanae took her to the big house where the books were kept, this doubt was put behind her...... This room is almost the largest of the shrines, and it can't even be compared to the place where Suwako and Kanako are enshrined.

In this way, the number of books stored in it is also extremely considerable, and the books in ancient times are different from today, because of the lack of paper, the form of ancient literature at that time is extremely simple, and it can be said that a book with only 10,000 words can be translated into modern sentences if it can be more than five or six times.

In this way, it is not surprising that Tsubasa will be shocked by the number of books in this library......

"Well, this is it~~ Sister Hanekawa, please feel free, if you have water, there is a stream that leads down from the mountain and you can drink it directly, so I won't be here to accompany you more......" Sanae, who had a headache when she saw the book, didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, and hurriedly retreated after explaining it hastily.

"Well, I'll just read a book here~~" Tsubasa Sanae nodded, after the initial surprise, she was full of joy when she looked at so many rare books, reading in such a leisurely and quiet shrine seemed to be a completely unattainable dream in Tsubasa before, and now I will be grateful to accept this fate~~

"Maybe it's really a god~~" Tsubasa, who took a book and sat under the porch and flipped through it, recalled the beginning of it all, Tsubasa smiled very softly, not realizing that the figure she was looking for was nodding at her less than five meters away...... (To be continued.) )
