Memories of the past didn't bring comfort to Hoshino, but they gave her the power of habit.

She realizes that she has made a mistake and is stuck in a strange circle in her dreams, which leads to the misalignment of her thinking, sacrificing her principles for the sake of the unimportant truth.

She made a mistake.

But not irretrievable.

At the very least, stop letting Keisuke Aoi see jokes and make fun of himself with the sentences he wrote at the end.

"No, you don't."

Hoshino took a deep breath and pulled a few pieces of paper to wipe away the tears from his face.

This embarrassed appearance was really annoying, but she quickly put the account on Aoi Keisuke's head.

There is no need for any reason or explanation.

The Demon King, who didn't know that he was maliciously watching the girl cry and had already set himself on fire, was shouting happily at the moment:

Come on......

At least don't show yourself with this greasy tone.

Hoshino opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, just silently remembered this humiliation and took it as a warning.

"Keisuke Ao, no matter what I do, this dream won't change the content of our 'listening', right?"

Hoshino let out a faint "oh" and said, "Then don't listen to it." ”

……

At lunchtime, the village head, Munemasa Ozawa, had not yet returned, so only Megumi Ozawa and Fujiko Hoshino were sitting at the table.

But the dishes on the table were still hearty, with fried crucian carp, mountain mushrooms, venison and some wild game from the mountains.

Keisuke Aoi is not without malicious reminders, but Hoshino has already sensed the bad tastes and hints he has mixed with his constant reminders, and it is impossible to jump into his trap again.

She's determined to carry out her will, just like Keisuke Aoi and Akaka.

It's okay to hurt others, hurt yourself, and hit your head and bleed!

"Ms. Ozawa, have you already been to the shrine?"

"Yes, yes."

Megumi Ozawa looked cramped, but still trying to keep her smile on her face.

Neither of them had moved their chopsticks yet, and Hoshino stared straight at her, making her a little scared.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ozawa, I lied to you before." Hoshino began his usual straightforwardness.

"What...... What? ”

"I'm not a messenger of the god Toyotsu."

"You're a youkai?!"

"No, the next thing, I will guarantee that the conversation is completely true, but the more bizarre reality, whether you can accept it or not is your own business."

Looking at her youngest daughter's serious expression at this time, Megumi Ozawa's heart involuntarily softened.

She didn't know why Fujiko Hoshino suddenly changed her attitude, but such a change made her feel a little warm.

She also straightened her seat, looked directly at Hoshino, and said solemnly, "I see." ”

"Actually, you're all dead."

……

……

In the afternoon, with the help of Megumi Ozawa, Hoshino successfully deceived Munemasa Ozawa and the doctor's examination, but was ordered by his father to stay in the room, otherwise he would be beaten up when he found Shiichiro Kurosawa.

But when Somasa Ozawa had eaten and led people into the mountains again to find people, Hoshino directly obtained permission from Megumi Ozawa to go out.

"Good luck." Megumi Ozawa patted her on the shoulder, and her smile was very gentle.

"Thank you."

Hoshino changed into a clean outfit, a white shirt with a pleated skirt that reached the knee, and a pair of off-white canvas shoes under the white calves.

"Please don't speculate on others, especially me."

Hoshino walked alone on the country road, sighed, and said, "I'm going to go see Toyotsu Shrine now." ”

"Your feel-good tone makes me vomit with nausea."

"Really? That's when I did it on purpose. ”

Hoshino saw a torii gate from a distance, the pillars painted bright red, and in the middle above the torii, there was a plaque with the words "Toyotsu" written in thick handwriting, full of the earthy atmosphere of the countryside.

On both sides of the torii, there are small stone statues standing on each other, which are connected to each other by a rope.

Hoshino Fujiko retracted her gaze and suddenly found two round Jizo Buddha statues at her feet, and Jizo was quietly nesting in the grass, watching passers-by.

Also looking at her.

"If everything here hasn't changed, what about the god Toyotsu?"

Is it because He is punishing these blasphemous apostasy?

Or do you want to leave the truth at that time?

That's where the joy of exploration comes in.

Hoshino sighed, plucked four or five summer wildflowers from the grass, put them in a bunch and placed them in front of the Jizo statue, and then symbolically clapped his hands together twice. 33

"Do you want to make a bet?" Fujiko Hoshino said.

"Bet what the god of Toyotsu left this dream for."

"You speak first."

"If you lose, put on the dress you bought me."

"Don't you just like bad tastes?"

"Heh......"

After all, Hoshino was already destined to lose a bet and change into the light blue kimono he bought at Komachido.

If you want to pay for your own women's clothes, then even if Miss Hoshino wears a bikini, her figure is not as attractive as it should be, right?

Hoshino sensed naked malice in this sentence.

She said coldly, "Is this waste all you have left in your head?" ”

Fujiko Hoshino was silent—could it be that her starting point was for Keisuke Ao's beauty?

“……”

Hoshino was annoyed at first, then sneered, "Are you ashamed and ashamed?" ”

“……”

Seeing that Keisuke Aoi didn't take the bait at all, Hoshino had no choice but to sigh and continue to raise: "Then the winner can arbitrarily make a request to the other party that does not violate social morality." ”

In view of the fact that the moral values and society of the two people are completely different, Hoshino specially added a supplement to the front.

This time, Keisuke Aoi didn't hesitate to call.

Hoshino paused, she raised her head, looked at the vast blue sky, and then said, "I think that the god Toyotsu kept this place in honor of Ozawa Village. ”

This is what she feels most deeply in this world.

Some people died, but not completely......
