Miyasui Sanye opened his eyes, and he didn't have the feeling of not being able to sleep enough in the past, one hand propped up his body, and his clear brown eyes looked at the window on the left.

The outside world was still gray, with only a faint glow shining through the glass, and it was clear that the morning light had not yet spilled into the country town.

Since she started to take over the affairs of the shrine from her grandmother, she no longer wakes up with the sun as her alarm clock, and she always wakes up early on weekends or not.

After carefully folding the quilt, she went to the closet and took out the shrine maiden costume that had been ironed for a long time, but after thinking about it, she put it back in the closet.

"Let's wait until we're done with hygiene before we wear it." With that in mind, she put on a set of tracksuits that made it easy to move.

She couldn't help but be a little funny when she wore the clothes, this sportswear was still Kyosuke asked her to buy. According to the four leaves, as long as it's not when it's time to go to school, that person is always wearing sportswear.

"It seems that he is not omnipotent, at least I am better at wearing skirts." Talking to herself, the girl burst out laughing. I don't know if it's because of my inexplicable thoughts, or because I found out that I was better than that boy in one aspect.

If it was in the past, even if it was a sanitary palace, Mitsuha would choose to wear a witch costume.,Because there will be townspeople coming up to worship at any time.,She needs to pay attention to her image.。

But now it is different, first, the time is still too early, even the old man who has not slept will choose the sun to rise and come to worship again because of the dew on the mountain; The second is that she is completely different in the eyes of the townspeople now, and even if she shaves all her hair, the townspeople will probably think that it is the will of the gods.

Maybe Itomori will succeed if I run for mayor now.,When the time comes, let that bastard father return to the shrine and continue to be the god master inheritance shrine.,Itomori will be reformed well.。

In her thoughts, the girl put on her tracksuit, crept into the hallway, and carefully closed the sliding door. She turned her head sideways to look next door, which was her sister Shiba's room. This little guy doesn't look like a snooze child, who gets up on time at six o'clock every day on the days of studying, and doesn't know where he gets so much energy.

But now it's finally my sister who wins!

Gently opening the sliding door and looking at his sister, who was still asleep, the god in the eyes of the townspeople smiled childishly. Really, I don't know if it really humiliates my sister to wake up when I wake up in bed every day!

Coming out of the backyard of the main house, the girl came to the stone steps of the approach. Glancing at the stone steps with no top in sight, and the red torii, she sighed softly. If Kyosuke Hojo were there, he would have been able to jump to the top of the stone steps.

Wearing a red tracksuit, Miss Miko climbed up the stone steps with a hum, and when she finally stepped on the last stone staircase and passed the last torii gate, the golden morning light also quietly kissed her snow-white neck with fine sweat.

Turning around, the golden sun rose between the mountains, and the dark green forest was covered with a faint white mist, and Lake Itomori, who had been sleeping all night, seemed to wake up, and the birds on the shore flew up, and the surface of the lake became sparkling again.

The fatigue of climbing the stone steps seems to disappear without a trace at this moment.,Sanye never knew that Itomori, who was bent on escaping, was so beautiful.。

However, no matter how beautiful it is, it's better to be Tokyo, so let's be a handsome guy in Tokyo for the rest of my life.

With a playful smile, the girl pushed the shredded hair wet with fine sweat behind her ears. Under the golden sunlight, the small earlobes looked like they were carved from jade, and they were delicate.

Going to the utility room and taking out her broom, she began to sweep the fallen leaves in the square. Although it is May when the trees are full of life, the leaves still fall. So it's better to say that although so many trees look beautiful, they still don't lose their leaves.

The girl imagined that she had become a great swordsman, and waved her broom vigorously, sweeping all the fallen leaves together and piling them up. If it was Kyosuke Hojo, he would have called a bunch of men to help clean up, that slacker.

Thinking about Kyosuke Hojo and thinking about the fragments of Tokyo in his memory, the boring cleaning doesn't seem so painful. And maybe it's because of Kendo recently.,So the big broom that used to feel heavy is actually very easy now.。

After cleaning the square, Miyasui Sanye took the broom to the utility room of the office building and put it away, took out a rag and began to clean the staircase handrail in the front hall of the shrine, the main entrance, and she wiped every carved flower carefully to wipe off the dust. Then there is the front hall, where it must be cleaned with more care, as the dust raised may be seen as disrespectful by the gods.

Sweep the floor, remove the brown lacquer plates containing the various offerings, and bring them to the office building next to the front hall of the shrine, and then place the new offerings that had been prepared the day before on the lacquer plates, and then bring them to the front hall and place them in front of the altar one by one.

The removed sacrifices will be eaten by the shrine maidens of the Miyasui family, that is, their sisters and grandmothers, which is also part of the sacrifice, which is quite important in neon Shinto.

But maybe it's a rule set by the gods so that the shrine maidens who serve them don't go hungry, right? Miyasui Sanye guessed like this, and then scanned her eyes up and down to see what was not in line with what her grandmother taught her.

The apple should be on the fuller side towards the doorway, as if it had moved the altar a little bit when it was just wiped...... After adjusting like this for a long time, the sunlight still poured in through the window, and the girl with her sleeves and waist pestle nodded with a smile and satisfaction.

Well, it's a perfect day too. The corners of Miss Miko's mouth were raised high, and she didn't even notice the still somewhat messy braids.

Putting down his sleeves, straightening his posture, and swallowing a large mouthful of air with the special breath of the morning, Miyasui Sanye's face calmed down, and he took two deep breaths, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

She bowed twice to the altar, took two deep breaths again, mobilized her memory, and began to recite "Shen Li":

"Yang Wei Gong Water Shrine Holy Spirit, sincere fear, I would like to use the sacrifice. The great divine heart is generous, and he has given me food, clothing, and shelter, and I have everything I want, and my wishes have come true. Family harmony, there is no day without enjoying the joy of family......"

The so-called "Shinri" is the special name of the Miyasui Shrine for the blessing, that is, the daily prayer to the gods for blessings. Therefore, it is still beneficial to run a shrine, at least there is no need to compete with the believers for the "first incense", and it should be easier to respond to such prayers to the gods, right?

Although I was thinking about it in my heart, no matter who it was, as long as I saw Miss Shrine at this moment, I would definitely feel that it was a happy thing to be able to believe in the Miyasui Shrine with such a shrine maiden.

The girl in a red tracksuit stood in front of the altar, the golden light draped behind her back, every strand of hair glittering, and the red and yellow knotted rope that binds her hair seemed to have a mysterious brilliance. The lips of her cherry blossom petals fluttered slightly, and an inexplicable rhythmic aria came out of her mouth, as if communicating to a certain position, and connecting with a great being.

sacred, solemn, and unbearable to blaspheme......

"Sister!"

The prayer to the gods was interrupted by a crisp child's voice, and the serious expression on Sanye's face collapsed instantly.

It's time to start all over again, the girl wails in her heart, but when she turns her head, she has a doting smile on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Si Ye's footsteps that were about to step into the front hall suddenly stopped, and looking at her sister at this moment, she almost forgot to breathe.

The sunlight shining in from the door created a backlit effect on my sister's face. As the sun gradually rises, the color changes from golden red to white, to a sacred color that often appears in cartoons.

The sister standing in the holy light is like a mother at this moment.

When this thought appeared, Shiye was startled, but fortunately, she finally remembered to breathe, and quickly took two deep breaths.

It's so strange that I was so young when my mother died, and I didn't have a clear memory of my mother in my head at all, and even her face was known through photos.

But

As she was about to enter the shrine's front hall, her mother turned around and asked what was wrong.

Si Ye guessed if he was dizzy because he climbed such a high stone staircase without eating breakfast, so he felt as if he had experienced such a scene.

In the white light, the four leaves saw that it was a room filled with an uncomfortable smell. The mother, whose face could not be seen clearly, slept on the bed, and the mother's hand, her own hand, and her sister's hand, and the hands of the three of them were tightly folded. Mother's hand was so slender that she could even see her finger bones clearly, but it was still so warm.

"It's not a goodbye"

In the white light, Siye saw it, and his mother's face was so warm. The mother's voice was soft, as if it could be transmitted directly to her heart. She knew that her mother had told her and her sister to tell her father.

"Four leaves? Four leaves! ”

I didn't eat the four leaves of the stone steps early and climbed so many stone steps.,I feel that if I am shaken like this for a while, I will definitely be unable to help but vomit.,So I had to reluctantly get out of that memory.。 Bizarrely, she saw her mother's eyes, the same brown eyes as her sister, and she was also looking at herself reluctantly.

"Sister, your eyes are like your mother." Shiba finally knows why he sees his sister as his mother.。

"What are you talking about, our eyes are very similar to our mothers......"

As he spoke, Sanye's voice lowered. Yes, when her mother died, Shiba was still so young, she didn't remember this at all. But how did she know? Maybe from the photo? With this question out of her mind, she decided to fulfill her duties as the eldest sister.

"Siye, you're here just in time, let's recite 'Shen Li' together."

"Ah~ don't."

Four leaves wailed, and began to regret why he ran up the mountain to help his sister as soon as he woke up, and he knew that he would let her work alone. Thinking so, she stepped forward and stood side by side with her sister.

The two sisters took a deep breath together, looked serious together, and spoke together, and the pious greetings rang out, and the immature voices and magnetic voices mixed together sounded in the shrine on the top of the mountain.

"Yang Wei Gong Water Shrine Holy Spirit, sincere fear, I would like to use the sacrifice. The great divine heart is generous, and he has given me food, clothing, and shelter, and I have responded to my requests......"

Compared to before, Sanye slowed down her tone, worried that Siye couldn't remember the congratulations, but to her surprise, this little girl actually followed her word for word.

Looking at the serious expression of the little face with baby fat in the fourth leaf, Sanye's heart was full of pity, and he regretted that he had divided the ownership of the last box of ice cream with his sister last night.

This moment is just like that moment, that year, my mother also stood here with herself, teaching herself the greetings, tones, pauses, and breathing sentence by sentence.

Compared to the four leaves,I'm really a lot happier.。

"From now on, it's up to you to teach the four leaves."

At that time, my mother's body was already very weak due to the invasion of disease, but she still supported that body to teach herself all kinds of skills and entrusted herself with this kind of entrustment.

Miyasui Sanye has not forgotten her mother's entrustment.,After losing her mother and father in this family,,She's trying to become a qualified shrine maiden of the Miyasui family.。

She thought,As long as I do well enough,Then the curse of inheriting the shrine won't fall on the four leaves.。

Every day, every year, every year, the girl didn't dare to relax a bit, and she was always nervous about herself, for fear that something would not conform to the identity of the shrine maiden of the Miyasui Shrine and be accused by the believers.

If I don't do well enough, their eyes will fall on the four leaves, and the girl has a deep fear in her heart. Don't, never let anything like this happen. Siye grew up so happily.,Elementary school,Junior high school,High school,University,Go to a big city.,Enter a big company.,Meet a boy outside.,Get married.,Have children.,Don't go back to this place for the rest of your life.。

You must not let Shiba be bound by this ignorant town, she will take the surname Gong Shui to the outside world.

As for themselves......

It's not bad that Kyosuke has already felt the outside world through his eyes and body.

Maybe the body swap will last a lifetime? In this way, I can help him educate his children.

Thinking like this, the girl who had already finished reading the greeting took her sister out of the front hall, and then she had to clean the office building of the shrine.

"Three-leaf, four-leaf—"

A female voice came from outside.,Miyasui Sanye clearly saw that his sister "pricked up her ears" the moment she heard the sound.,Although the four leaves are not creatures like rabbits,But she just had such a feeling.。

Really, do you little guy like Sayaka so much? Obviously I'm your sister, okay, didn't they all get along so much because of Kyosuke before? Looking at his sister who threw down the rag and quickly ran to the door, a helpless expression appeared on Miyasui Sanye's face.

"Zaoyaka, why are you here?"

Stepping out of the door of the office building, Yotsuba waved his hand and shouted loudly to Sayaka, who had just crossed the last torii. For those of them who are so close to the gods, shouting in the realm of the gods will be easily forgiven by the gods, and maybe the gods like such energetic girls.
