"Sanae-chan, this is your salary for the week, it's really hard work~~" Sanae, who had just finished her part-time job at the bakery, rearranged her clothes and was about to leave, received an envelope and a plastic bag full of bread from her store manager, "And this is the bread left over from the store today, if you don't mind, please take it." ”

"Huh? Is it really possible? "It's leftovers, but it's actually the product that was just taken off the shelf.,Sanae, who knows this, is full of gratitude for the kindness of her store manager.。

"What's wrong, Sanae-chan works so diligently and looks so beautiful~~" The shopkeeper seemed to have anticipated Sanae's resignation, so he stuffed the bag in his hand directly into her hand with a little toughness, "If you mind, then please continue to work hard in the future, I always feel that Sanae-chan is already an indispensable member of my store~~"

"Thank you very much, I will definitely continue to work hard!" Seeing that the other party had made up her mind, Sanae simply stopped refusing to hold the bag that the other party stuffed for her, bowed deeply, and then said, "Then if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and see Miss Furukawa tomorrow~~"

"Eun 1, 2, 3...... It's 15,000 yen in total~~" After leaving her place where she worked, Sanae couldn't wait to take out her salary from the envelope and count it carefully, "In this case, it will be 60,000 yen in a month~~"

This salary is definitely a lot for a student who can only work part-time in his spare time, not to mention the fact that the job in the bakery is very easy, and Miss Furukawa, who is the store manager, is also quite kind, Sanae feels that she really has nothing to be picky about.

"And there's also bread from Miss Furukawa~~ The bread in the shop is always delicious!" For Ms. Sanae, who is currently very strapped for money, bread is quite a luxurious dessert...... And girls, desserts are simply a part of life, aren't they~~

"But if you pay your salary today, it's a rare luxury!" Holding in his hands the income of his labor in the past few days. Sanae was full of joy and thought, "So what should I eat at night?" Let's make a little potato stew. I remember the potatoes at the back of the yard were almost ripe. By the way, if you want to buy some candy and come back, she will definitely like it if you offer it to Suwako-sama...... Or do you want to buy some wine? ”

When thinking like this, Sanae-sama is always able to inadvertently show an enviable happy smile. Even compared to her peers, her life is a bit hard now.,Not only does she have to run a somewhat deserted shrine by herself.,Usually on the premise of completing your studies, you have to work part-time.。 I don't have a lot of friends, and I don't have the opportunity to go out on dates with boys...... But Sanae feels that she is still very happy, and she always believes in this!

"But if Kanako-sama didn't always steal wine and drink, it would be better if Suwako-sama wouldn't get some unbelievable food......" Sanae, who had been enshrined by two gods in her own god for generations, couldn't help but put on a slightly distressed expression just now, a bit like a mother who returned home and saw her child messing up her body.

But this is just a small complaint, weren't the two gods who always took care of him and himself when he was alone? It's obviously a god from above. But after getting acquainted, they unexpectedly get along very well, which is their own ...... Or maybe it's something that the shrine maidens of Moriya Shrine have never expected.

"But then I'm also a wind now, according to Shintoism, it should be considered a ...... At last...... Well, it's pretty powerful, anyway! "Of course, now that the gods are weakened to the extreme, Feng Zhu is not much different from ordinary people. For Sanae, all she can do now is condense a glass or so of water out of thin air or keep the vegetables grown in her backyard from pests and diseases, which is completely better than nothing, and in some ways may not be as mysterious as those street tricks.

Fortunately, Sanae doesn't care about this, anyway, whether or not they have these abilities, the two gods are her closest family, aren't they~~ Although the gods have become less and less worrying recently......

Sanae, who was slightly distressed, sighed lightly, and then put all these meaningless thoughts out of her mind. Cheer up and get ready to make a purchase, and say...... What's on today's specials?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Sanae, who was carrying two large bags full of things in her hand, recalled in her mind the goods she had purchased as she walked to her shrine, "I bought beef." I also bought green peppers and celery at a special price today, and I bought 3 bananas that I could eat with Kanako-sama and them, and if you drink alcohol...... I only bought a little. Luckily, the uncle who sells alcohol and I know ......."

Theoretically, you can't buy alcohol under the age of 20, but the Sanae family runs a shrine after all. God knows when the tradition of using alcohol to worship the gods has been regarded as a tradition by people, so as long as it is a familiar shop. Sanae can still buy some drinks from there...... It's just that the quantity is completely inferior to those adults.

But Sanae doesn't have that much money to buy anyway, so it's just a lot.

Carrying two large bags of belongings, she had to climb a long staircase to reach the place where Moriya Shrine was located, but it didn't seem too much effort for Sanae, who just turned 14 this year. Maybe this is also the privilege of the gods, in short, Sanae has not been sick since very early on, and she has always been in good health.

The shrine was built on a hill, and although it was heard that the influence of the Moriya Shrine was quite great many years ago, Sanae's shrine has never looked grandiose since Sanae can remember. It's just an ordinary shrine that is not big or small, and it is slightly dilapidated, and it is not significantly different from the others Sanae has visited, and it is even worse in scale...... Although it still seems a little too empty for a little girl who lives alone.

If there's one difference, it's that Sanae has only seen the gods in her own shrine, and the rest don't know if they don't want to let themselves see them or for other reasons, in short, Sanae has never seen the rest of the gods.

And according to Kanako-sama, most of them have dissipated...... Can even gods disappear? Originally, Sanae didn't believe it, but when she saw the weakness of her own gods, she had to worry about it.

"Why did you suddenly think of this?!" Sanae, who was climbing the stairs, shook her head violently and tried to push these unlucky thoughts out of her mind, but the more she did this, the more deeply the thought seemed to take root in her heart, as if it had taken root and become a fact.

Sanae, who was becoming more and more uneasy, quickened her pace, almost trotting over the last few steps, and then hurriedly put down her belongings and ran to the place where the gods were enshrined at the back of the shrine, and then it was not until she suddenly heard Kanako's laughter coming from there that the feelings dissipated.

"I'm really stupid...... Aren't Kanako-sama and I always connected to our faith......" Sanae, who was gradually regaining her composure, tapped her forehead with her small fist, which was already regarded as punishment for making a big fuss about herself, but since you are here, you can just go in and have a look.

There are only 3 people in the entire shrine after counting the two gods, so it stands to reason that there is no forbidden area for Sanae at all, even if it is where the gods live. So Sanae didn't even knock on the door and opened the sliding door, just from the smell of alcohol coming from inside, the little girl guessed that her own god must be there drinking and watching TV while doing nothing......

But what she never expected was that Sanae only guessed half of it, and when the door was opened, Sanae was extremely surprised to find that in addition to her own two gods, there was another one with blond hair that was not like a human at some point...... Boy? (To be continued.) )
