108 Maidens
After coming out of the worship hall, Yukino walked back the way he came. Just around the corner of a side hall, she was startled by the sudden appearance of a long queue.
I saw more than a dozen townspeople who usually played various roles in the town, all standing in the corridor at the entrance of the side hall and lining up quietly. Such a night, such an environment, suddenly see such a scene. Even in the shrine of the god I believe in, I still scare Yukino enough.
Those in line also saw her, and Yukino also saw Grandma, who often gave her fresh vegetables. Grandma also lined up according to the rules, just smiled and nodded at her.
Yukino also smiled and bowed slightly in response, the solemn atmosphere here made her nervous, and her steps were lighter, as if she was afraid of startling the dust on the ground.
With his head down, Yukino just wanted to get out of this oppressive place quickly. But as she passed the entrance to the side hall, the voices inside caught her attention.
She slowed down and looked sideways.
The light in the side hall is very bright, and everything inside is as clear as daytime.
It turns out that the three leaves are in a hurry to come here.γ
Yukino saw it, Miyasui Sanye, who was wearing a red and white witch costume, kneeling there, with a smile on his face that seemed to warm people's hearts, holding the hand of a grandmother, and whispering something. Then when the grandmother spoke, she closed her mouth again, looked at each other quietly with brown eyes, and listened carefully.
That grandma Yukino also knows and is a rather mean person. In the days when she came to Itomori, she didn't meet all friendly people.
"At first glance, it's not a good person, I don't know what I did outside to hide here......
When she smiled and bowed to the other party, she said it from a grandmother who seemed to be very kind. Yukino couldn't break free from the bad words after drinking three cans of beer at night, and heard them in his dreams for three nights in a row.
However, in the face of such a grandmother at this moment, there is no impatience on the face of Miyasui Sanye. Yukino clearly saw that the snow-white and delicate hand she held with her grandmother was pinched by the wrinkled hand, but the smile on the girl's face was not reduced by half due to the pain in her hand, and it was still so warm.
"That bastard boy, he has long hoped that I will die and inherit the money my mother gave me, so that I will not do what he wants."
A caustic, high-pitched voice rang out in the room, and the moment I heard it, the nightmare seemed to hit Yukino again. She couldn't help but want to leave quickly.,But she's curious how Sanye will respond.γ
"No, every child loves their parents."
The voice of the three leaves inside is also different from usual.,There's a little less recklessness.,The tone is so smooth that people can't help but calm down and listen.γ
"Then why didn't your sisters live with the mayor of Miyasui?" The sharp and caustic voice sounded again.
It's too much!
Yukino, who is so soft that he can't help but get angry when he hears this, is this here to confide his troubles to the gods? It's clear that I'm here to find fault!
To Yukino's surprise, in the face of these mean words, the smile on the face of the girl in the witch costume seemed to become warmer, and she even stretched out her other hand, and held the thin hand full of age spots tightly with both hands.
Miyasui Sanye's body leaned forward slightly, and his tone was sincere that could move people's hearts:
"It is precisely because I love my father and my mother that I stay here, serving my grandmother for my deceased mother and my departed father, so that they will not be charged with unfilial piety."
Yukino Baikari didn't listen to it anymore, she was afraid that she would cry if she stayed any longer. Raising a hand to cover her mouth gently, she left the side hall with the fastest steps she could without making a sound.
After walking for a while, her emotions eased slightly. She has to apologize for her previous thoughts.,Originally, she heard the four leaves say that the three leaves sometimes don't do well, and sometimes they do well.,I thought that what I did well was all when the gods possessed the witch lady.,I didn't expect the three leaves to do so well themselves.γ
She is only now learning about some things about the Miyasui family, her mother Miyasui Futaba died early, her father Miyasui Toshiki left home and entered the political arena, and in an instant, only the elderly grandmother and young sister were left in the huge shrine. It is too much to say that the family is ruined, but for a little girl, it can really be said to be a catastrophe.
But instead of following her father and continuing to grow up happily under his father's protection, she stayed at the shrine to take care of her elderly grandmother and young sister.
Quack - Quack -
Yukino, who was immersed in some emotion, was startled by this sudden sound, and quickly raised his head, and a black shadow flew through the dim sky with the sound of wings fluttering.
"I'm occasionally scared by those voices", Yukino thought of what Yotsuha had said before.
I don't know,In the night when the four leaves were frightened by an unknown voice,Whether the three leaves rushed over as quickly as the four leaves said,Hug the little sister curled up in the cup,Comfort her gently,Clumsily singing unskilled nursery rhymes,Imitating the deceased mother,Softly coax the young sister to sleepγ
Thinking so, Yukino felt that he had found the reason why Kamimei-sama would choose such an ordinary girl as his shrine maiden.
When I came to the reception room, the god lord Mizumi Ichiha sat there, drinking tea and watching TV. The posture is the same as at the beginning, it seems that even if there is no one, she will meticulously maintain an uncomfortable upright seat. Four leaves are looking at a comic book.γ
"Yukino, are you finished?"
Seeing Yukino Baixiang, Shiba immediately threw the comic book aside and said in surprise. From the first time she came to the shrine, she was attracted by the beautiful figure, and now she can have such an intimate conversation with the other party at home, and every time she speaks, she feels like she is in a dream.
"Hmm."
Because he had the previous thoughts, there was a little more pity in his eyes when he looked at Miyasui Shiba. After answering the four leaves, she turned around again and respectfully greeted Gong Shui Yiye.
"It's not too early, so I'll take my leave."
"Huh? Is this leaving? Yukino, aren't you waiting to say goodbye to your sister? Siye was reluctant to give up, trying to find a reason to stay.
"I don't think she'll end in a short time.,I'll see you at school tomorrow.,Just ask the four leaves to help me say sorry to the three leaves.γ Yukino said with a smile.
"Yes, then Yukino, you should be careful on the road." Siye also thought of the long queue of townspeople outside the side hall, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for his sister.
"I'll make you a snack tomorrow too." Looking at the reluctance of the four leaves, Yukino resisted the urge to promise the other party to stay and play for a while, and said goodbye to Miyasui Kazuha.
"Alright, it's almost time for you to wash up and get ready for bed."
Looking at the four leaves who had already walked away in Yukino Baixiang and were still looking at the door, Miyasui Yiye said with a smile.
"But I haven't practiced Kagura today." Four leaves said in surprise.
"Whoever made you unable to concentrate when you contacted before, tomorrow's practice will be doubled."
"Ah, it's rare for Yukino to come here, people just want to play with her." The four-leaf mouth is deflated.
"Alright, let's go take a shower."
There's still a chapter to come, and I haven't finished it yet
