Because it was late, Ye Chen and the others did not leave the village in a hurry, but temporarily stayed at Otohime's current house.

At night, Ye Yuejin felt that she had been woken up.

When she opens her eyes, she finds the parrot dancing samba on her quilt.

After smashing the parrot down with a pillow, she was dazed and planned to go back to sleep.

However, the parrot that was smashed into the air still reluctantly ran to her bedside: "Wake up, there is something I want you to see now." ”

"Hmm......"

Ye Yuejin felt that since she came to the Age of Mythology, it seemed that she had not been able to get a good night's sleep.

The last time I read the file, I was destroyed by the Yaqi Snake in the middle of sleeping, and the whole village is not to talk about it.

Even if he killed the Yaqi Great Snake with the help of Shi Shi and Ye Chen, because the banquet in the village lasted quite late, and the next day he left early because of his impatience, he was not able to rest enough at all.

Now I can finally get a good night's sleep, but I am disturbed by a parrot again.

But although she was a little dissatisfied, Ye Yuejin still yawned a lot and forced herself to get up.

"What the hell is going on?" The girl asked in a daze as she rubbed her eyes and followed the parrot out of the room.

"Girl, don't you think you're too weak as a magical girl!"

The parrot said with great righteousness: "How can you fight the tentacles in this way!" ”

"Has the opponent been confined to that kind of thing? I'm sorry to the magical girl anime all over the world! ”

The girl complained about the parrot half-asleep, and then yawned again.

"And that magical girl you did didn't have any powerful moves."

"That's why I told you to come out now, you'll know the reason in a while, now anyway, shut up and go with me."

The parrot flapped its wings and flew and jumped in front.

Although Ye Yuejin had a lot of questions, since the parrot said so, she could only follow in confusion.

The two kept walking, leaving the village, passing through the coconut groves outside the village, and finally came to a sandy beach.

Facing the sea, the sound of the tide is bursting, and the beauty of the ocean in the middle of the night is different from that of the day, and the darkness gives people a different sense of depth and mystery.

On the surface of the sea, there is a man.

Ye Yuejin narrowed her eyes, barely seeing the other party's figure clearly—it was Otohime.

However, unlike the dress of the folk woman during the day, Otohime at this time changed back to the costume that a dragon god should have, although the clothes were still kimonos, but they were the kind of gold and silver threads, covered with various beautiful patterns, and a formal kimono with long sleeves; She wears a crown made of coral and hawksbill turtles on her head, and in her hands flutes and rattles encrusted with various gemstones.

At this time, Otohime's face was solemn, and she was dancing on the surface of the sea.

The sea breeze does not decrease due to the arrival of night, but tends to increase, and the waves become more turbulent.

But the girl was walking on the ground, and the waves did not affect her at all.

Her dancing was so beautiful that after looking at her, all the other sounds in the whole world seemed to disappear, and only such a beautiful person spun and jumped on the sea, dancing one by one.

I don't know when, the wind and waves calmed down.

The heavy clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and strands of silver moonlight fell from the sky like the finest silk, making the originally dark sea sparkle like a stage.

Ye Yuejin suddenly noticed that a little bit of light began to float out from under the surface of the sea, like fireflies.

These points of light are of different colors, slowly rotating around the girl, and as the number of points of light increases, while decorating the sea surface with the dazzling beauty of the Milky Way, it also makes the whole scene full of dreamy atmosphere.

It even made Yeyue involuntarily wonder if she was dreaming.

"Those Spots of Light ......"

The parrot's voice brought Ye Yuejin back to reality all of a sudden, but the beautiful sight still took away her gaze and made her unable to bear to look away.

"Each one is the soul of the creatures that died in the sea during this time."

"Huh?"

After her brain understood the meaning of the parrot's words, the girl turned her head in shock and looked at the parrot.

"Although it's not something to be proud of, most of Fusang's reincarnation system actually relies on the existence of the underworld over there."

The parrot smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Do you know why there are so many gods here in Fuso? The reason is very simple, if there are not so many gods to send the souls of the dead into reincarnation, soon the human world of Fuso will be full of the souls of living beings, and finally be eroded by the 'Huangquan Country' and become a country with only the dead, in fact, even with so many gods, our souls who have just died here will occasionally not enter the reincarnation in time, and finally rely on some messy things to generate the so-called 'Ninety-Nine Gods'. ”

"In other words, is Otohime-sama now returning those souls to reincarnation?"

Only then did Ye Yuejin understand the meaning of the girl's actions.

"Then the question arises, why is it that after the modern era, the number of gods in the present world has decreased dramatically, but Fuso has not achieved the land of the dead?"

The parrot first nodded in affirmation of Ye Yuejin's words, and then raised its wings and asked.

"Why?" Ye Yuejin didn't want to guess at all, just looked at the parrot and asked.

"Because someone else has performed the duties of a god on his behalf."

The parrot didn't intend to sell it, but replied cheerfully.

"Although there are no gods in the present world, their shrines still exist, and their substitutes, the priests and shrine maidens at the shrines, perform celebratory ceremonies or kagura dances. Even if you don't understand the meaning and just do it for commercial purposes, it doesn't matter, as long as these two acts as symbols are completed, those souls will be sent to samsara. ”

"Then why did you wake me up? Watching Otohime dance? ”

Ye Yuejin didn't understand the parrot's explanation, and finally could only ask.

"Of course not...... "The parrot suddenly flew up and shouted at Otohime in the air.

"Your Highness, I'm a little sorry, but I have something I want to ask you for!"

Probably the ritual had come to an end, and Otohime took two last steps, and all the light around her disappeared.

She looked at the parrot curiously.

"Is there anything going on?"

"If you can, can you teach this girl what you just did to Kagura Dance?" The parrot gestured to the night moon with its beak.

"Huh? Eh, eh?! ”

Ye Yuejin felt as if she had been pitted again.

"Wow, I can't stand on the water at all, but why can I stand on the water after transforming!"

Night Moon is receiving special training from Otohime on the sea.

That being said, the reality was that the girl kept falling and plunged headfirst into the sea......

But even so, Ye Yuejin was only complaining verbally, and had no intention of giving up.

Standing on the coconut tree and watching her for a while, the parrot spread its wings and flew to the other side of the sea.

Because it is obscured by the reef, it is like a blind spot for vision, and it is not visible from the girl's side.

And Ye Chen and his party stood there leaning against the reef.

"It's a clumsy girl, but she's still working hard, right?"

The parrot seemed to want to land on Ye Chen's shoulder, but after being glanced at by the latter, it honestly landed on the reef that had been washed by the tide.

"I'm just wondering why you're coming out so late, out of vigilance, that's why I'm following to take a look."

Always clasped his arms over his chest and said silently.

"Oh, that's really hard work."

The parrot's gaze crossed the moment and looked at the behemoth floating in the sea not far away, which also came out of the blind spot on Ye Yuejin's side.

It was a youkai named Omachipa.

This youkai is, in short, a giant octopus.

During the Seven Lucky Gods Tour, this guy also took the lead, but was scared away by Daikokuten and Ebisu.

Some gods with power related to the sea have also tried to defeat this guy, but they all failed because they couldn't find this guy.

I didn't expect to die in such a place today, and from the fact that it was neatly divided into two from the middle, it is not difficult to see which person's handwriting it came from.

It seems that this guy was originally attracted because of the magical girl suit, and wanted to sneak up on Ye Yuejin from underwater, but he didn't expect to bump into the evil star of the moment.

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, we just happened to want to eat takoyaki."

At all times, I saw the parrot looking at the corpse of the monster, and I couldn't help but snort coldly, turned around and walked towards the village.

Ye Chen and Xiao Yao also glanced at each other and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Huh? Don't you eat it? ”

"Suddenly I lost my appetite." I don't look back.

"And there's no ingredients for takoyaki here."

"Let me tell you, although the big foot itself is not very delicious, but the parasites on its body are similar to the eight-eyed eel in terms of appearance and taste, and it is extremely delicious, especially suitable for kabayaki and barbecue~"

The parrot pointed to the carcass of the big claw with its little paws and persuaded him.

"Can you eat something like a parasite?" Ye Chen replied casually.

Ye Chen's footsteps did not stop because of this, obviously not planning to try the parasite taste in the parrot's mouth.

"I really don't know how to enjoy it~"

The parrot shook its head and sighed, and then it said in a slightly more serious voice: "In addition, according to the temperament of the little girl of the night moon, I will definitely practice until late today, and I will definitely oversleep tomorrow." I don't know what you're anxious about, but if you can, can you leave a little later tomorrow? ”

Hearing the parrot say this, Ye Chen stopped and turned to look at the bird.

"I wanted to ask before, judging from the story that girl told me, you don't have anything special to do with her, right? But why do I always feel like you're defending her at every turn? ”

"Is it that obvious?" The parrot began to pretend to be stupid.

"Do you want me to lift some chestnuts?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes and stared at the parrot.

Although this guy is relatively hidden, for him who has a good observation, he still found some evidence.

"If you have to say, this child's life was disrupted by me, if it weren't for me, she would definitely still be living an ordinary and happy life. So when facing her, I always feel a little guilty, and even if I don't have this relationship, she is a child who is worth risking my life to protect. ”
