"This, I'm here to contribute sesame oil money."

Zao Yexiang walked over, slapped with the four leaves, and then said.

"Does Yaka have anything else she wants to make a wish for?" Shiba's face was full of surprise.

"I'm an adolescent girl, and I have a lot of worries." Zaiyaka held her head high, looking proud.

"Really?" There was a strong suspicion in the voice of the four leaves.,It's not that she suspects that Saya Xiang is fooling herself like someone else fooling a child.,Just suspect that Saya Xiang is really troubled?

"I'm going to carry out a town festival for the Nakamura family today, and Hayaka is here to help, have you forgotten?" Miyasui Sanye walked over, touched his sister's head, and said with a smile.

"Ah, sister, your hands have just been cleaned, so dirty, don't touch my head." Four leaves took a step back and escaped from the clutches, and complained with a small face, the two pigtails on his head trembled because of the excessive movement.

"I wear gloves when I do hygiene!" This sister is really not cute, let's let Saya Xiang take her away, the smile on Miyasui Sanye's face disappeared immediately.

"Ah, Zao Yexiang, you actually lied to me!"

The four leaves with a very good head immediately discovered another villain, and after speaking, she noticed that Zaiyaka was also wearing sportswear suitable for labor today, and she was the only one of the three who was still wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

"This is not a lie, I am indeed here to offer sesame oil money."

Saya Xiang took out a five-hundred-yen coin, stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully at the four leaves, and then walked to the money box and stuffed it in.

"Of course, helping Sanye's debut battle is also today's top priority!" Back in the office building again, Zaiyaka skillfully took out a pair of rubber gloves from the utility room and put them on, and cleaned up together.

"Hayaka, you've changed."

The four-leaf pout, his voice full of disappointment. She felt as if this good friend was getting farther and farther away from her, and she had become an adult with a mouth full of lies.

"No, this ......" Seeing the appearance of the four leaves, Zaiyaka suddenly began to panic, and her two palms kept shaking, wanting to explain.

Ignoring the quibbles of Zaiyaka, Shiba fell into deep thought, she wanted to find the reason for the change in her best friend, and the little girl was so focused that she even stopped with the rag in her hand.

Suddenly, a sentence from a women's magazine that she flipped through in order to pass the time while waiting in line at the barbershop came to her mind:

"If a woman around you suddenly has an unknown change, such as suddenly paying attention to fashion, or suddenly seems to have grown up, you can't doubt that she must be in love."

Yotsuha raised his head, and the sharpness that suddenly appeared in his brown eyes startled Saya Xiang.

"What, what's wrong?" Ai Ai asked

"Zao Yexiang, you must be in love, right!" The little girl's voice was full of wisdom and determination.

"Huh!? No, no, how can it be, who am I in love with. Zao Yexiang's face turned red from the back of her ears to the tip of her nose, and she waved her hand again to deny it after losing in a row, and the two braids on the back of her head were also helping her master to deny it.

"It must be like this!" Four leaves pronounce the sentence of Saya Xiang's crime.

"It's not ......," Sayaka continued to deny.

"Poof......

The sudden laughter attracted the attention of the two people, and when they turned their heads, Miyasui Sanye, who had been hidden for a long time, looked at them with one hand covering his mouth, and his thin shoulders kept shaking.

"You don't have to worry about me...... Hahaha. ”

Before she finished her sentence, an uncontrollable laugh came out of the mouth of Miss Miko.

The previous topic was broken up, and the crisp laughter of the girl came from time to time in the empty office building.

After cleaning the office building, the three of them returned to the main house of the Gongshui family. A pickup truck was parked at the door, and several men with white towels wrapped around their heads were carrying various things out of the house.

"Good morning, Grandma." X3

The three of them greeted Gong Shui Yiye in unison.

"Good morning, Miss Sanye." The two people who were carrying the things also stopped, respectfully asking questions.

Miyasui Sanye also folded his hands in front of him, pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and nodded in return. It's not that she's holding the shelf, it's that the more unceremonious she finds herself, the happier the townsfolk become.

Sure enough, seeing Gongshui Sanye nodding, the two guys seemed to have been blessed by the gods, and they moved things more energetically. The girl remembered that these two people were both employees of the Emissary Family's construction company, and one of them was someone outside of Itomori Town, and now he was so respectful to herself.

She thought she was used to the townspeople's belief in herself and Miyasui Shrine, but the more she knew, the more terrified she felt. This fanaticism,Focusing the belief in the gods on herself,This heavy pressure,She thought she was ready to inherit the shrine again.。

"I'll go get breakfast ready."

Although he is wearing sportswear, but on the occasion of outsiders, Miyasui Sanye still tries his best to make a dignified posture.

"The kid of the Kawahara family is already preparing." Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Gong Shui Yiye smiled with satisfaction, and said slowly in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the envoy Katsuhiko Kawahara was actually surnamed Envoy Kawahara, not the envoy.

"Ah, that guy is here too."

Hearing his grandmother's words, Siye suddenly said with disgust. This guy is really haunted, why do you have to pester the lovely Hayaka!

"Haha, don't talk nonsense, the envoy is also here to help." Smiled angrily, Miyasui Sanye touched his sister's head, and couldn't help but be surprised again by the black and white worldview of this little devil's head.

"I'll cook."

Smiling, the girl walked into the living room with her sister and Sayaka. As for Gong Shui Yiye, she still has to watch it carefully outside, only two workers will move the place that needs to be used for the town festival to the car, and different utensils need to be placed in different places, and they will be broken if they are not careful.

"Envoy."

Walking to the door of the kitchen, looking at his friend who was stir-frying with an apron, Miyasui Sanye didn't have time to shout, and Zao Yexiang behind him walked into the kitchen first and patted the envoy's shoulder and shouted.

"Done with the sanitation on the mountain?" The envoy did not look back, but first put the dishes that had been fried in the pot on the plate, and then turned off the switch on the gas stove before turning his head and said.

"yes.,But when I went up, the three leaves and the four leaves were almost finished.。 Saya Xiang said and poked her head to look at the stir-fried vegetables.

"What, it's just stir-fried vegetables." Disgusted voices.

"You guy, if you don't work, you still have to eat, just shut up!" The envoy said viciously, then turned his back and began to undo his apron, preparing to return the battlefield to its master.

"I'll leave it to you next, Sanye."

The kitchen is old-fashioned, and it is already crowded with four people standing at the moment, and the envoy takes Saya Xiang's hand and gives the place to the Miyasui sisters.

"Well, it's hard work, you and Zao Yexiang can drink some tea and take a rest." Looking at the two friends who seemed to have a better relationship, Miyasui Sanye agreed with a smile.

The two of them walked away noisily, and the four leaves had skillfully lifted a small stool from the corner of the kitchen and stood up, her height needed to be such that she could use the sink at a comfortable height.

Miyasui Sanye took out a few potatoes from the cabinet of the other party's ingredients and put them in the pool, and the two sisters cleaned them together. After washing, one tall and one short, each holding a paring knife, began to peel the skin.

Turning her head sideways to look at her sister, who was focused on peeling her skin, the girl smiled proudly.

Mom, see, I've found a way to peel potatoes safely even for children, better than you taught me.

In my long memory, I and my mother were like now, standing side by side in front of the sink peeling potatoes, but at that time they used kitchen knives. The seriously ill mother seems to know that she doesn't have much left in her life.,Trying her best to teach herself the skills needed to survive.,And then teach the four leaves by yourself.。

"Because you need to use knives, you have to be careful, and if you feel dangerous, let go." In my memory, my mother's voice was so gentle, and now that I think about it, it was not only gentle, but also very cute.

……

After eating, Miyasui Sanye washed up briefly and returned to his room.

After changing into the shrine maiden costume, she raised her hand and made a cheering gesture to herself in the mirror.

Since my father left the house, such sacrifices have been performed by my grandmother, who is the god of the gods. But this time it was done independently, which was not only the request of the Nakamura family, but also the approval of my grandmother.

"You're already a real shrine maiden of the Gongshui family." Grandma said.

Are you really? Did she really become the daughter of the Miyasui family like her mother? Is the shrine maiden herself, or Kyosuke?

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, looking at the girl who was so beautiful that she couldn't even recognize herself, she felt in a trance. Raising her hand and gently stroking her braids and cheeks, the girl couldn't believe that she seemed to have really become a beautiful person like her mother.

It's a pity that Kyosuke's stupid guy can't wear a witch costume, can't braid his hair, and can't wear makeup, he can't appreciate his appearance, the girl thought regretfully.

Walking to the living room, the envoy carried a small package on his back like an ancient person, which was a ritual item that could not be placed on the car and needed to be carried with him, and Zaiyaka was empty-handed. Shiba didn't change into a shrine maiden costume, and she didn't have the qualifications and ability to participate in the ceremony.

"Four leaves, you ......"

Zaiyaka raised her hand to cover her mouth and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar friend in front of her. Although she had seen the other party's appearance in a shrine maiden costume many times, it was different now.

From the moment Sanye appeared in the living room, Zaya Xiang clearly felt that the atmosphere around her had changed, becoming solemn and solemn, which was why she quickly covered her mouth and didn't dare to exclaim.

"Sanye, you look like Aunt Erye." He said in a very small voice, and there seemed to be a faint awe in his eyes. In fact, what he wants to say is that you really feel like you have a god attached to you now.

Resisting the urge to laugh proudly, Miss Witch gently pursed her thin lips that had spit out red lipstick, smiled reservedly, and said modestly:

"I'm not good enough to compare to my mother."

"Ah, really, I really want to hold a ceremony on behalf of Miyasui Shrine." The sudden loud sound stirred up the atmosphere in the room.,Four leaves wrinkled their little faces.,Look at the beautiful sister enviously and say。

While Miyasui Sanye was unhappy and complained about the stupid sister in his heart, Zaiyaka and the envoy laughed at the same time, and the strange emotions that had just arisen in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

The envoy even stretched out his hand to touch the head of the four leaves, and after the latter refused, he smiled and didn't care, and comforted the other party with an unhappy look:

"Four leaves will be as beautiful as Aunt Erye and Sanye in the future."

"You would say something like that that that doesn't make you angry." Shiba said with a surprised face.

Ignoring the few people who began to enter the bickering link, Miyasui Sanye sorted out his mood and took a deep breath, preparing to leave for the place where the town festival will be held today.

"Huh? Grandma, are you going with us? ”

Suddenly, she found that her grandmother had changed into a kimono for going out, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Hehe, the next generation of the Gongshui family is the first time to hold a sacrifice independently, how can the old body miss it." Gong Shui Yiye said with a smile, his eyes under the reading glasses were almost slit, and the kimono on his body was meticulous, and he couldn't see a single fold.

"Hey, hey." Listening to her grandmother's words, Miss Shrine Maiden breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more confident, but at the same time, she couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

"But in that case, the pickup truck doesn't seem to be enough to sit." The girl quickly notices the problem.

The small truck that said "Envoy Kawahara Construction" has only four seats, and the envoy sits in the co-pilot, himself, Zaiyaka and Shitsuha sit in the back seat just right, and now it will be completely insufficient if grandma is going to go.

"Hehe, don't worry, I've just asked someone from the town to take care of the pick-up." The palace water god lord still said with a smile.

Hearing this, Miyasui Sanye remembered, not only Hojo Kyosuke had convenient subordinates, but in the near past, the words of the shrine maiden of the Miyasui family to the townspeople were as inviolable as oracles, saying that it was a shrine, but in fact, the Miyasui family was more like the lord of Itomori, and had great rights here.

Poked his head out and looked, a black Infiniti sedan was parked outside, and the boyfriend of the real Mina, who was knocked down by Kyosuke Hojo last time, was standing next to the car, with a band-aid on the bridge of his nose, apparently the injury from the last time was not healed. After seeing himself, he quickly showed a flattering smile.

"His father took him to his house a few days ago to make amends, and you were receiving a confession from the townspeople, so I didn't tell you, but today when I heard that the shrine needs a car, their family immediately came running."

Gong Shui Yiye walked up to his granddaughter, his voice was full of emotions that he couldn't tell whether he was nostalgic or proud, and the wrinkles on the old man's face were even more distinct because of the smile.

Sure enough, Kyosuke, who can use my body, should also be snickering, and the girl also has a little pride in her heart.

In the end, the envoy got into the minivan, Zaya Xiang sat in the passenger seat of the car, and Sangong Shui sat in the back seat.

……

Although you are traveling by car, the site where the ceremony is held is actually a few kilometers away from the shrine. Before he got to the place, Miyasui Sanye saw a group of people waiting on the side of the road.

"Lord, I didn't expect you to come too."

Seeing Miyasui Kazuha coming out of the car, Nakamura Heihachi hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"It's Heiba, it turns out that it's time for you to build your own house." Naturally, he put his hand on the other party's arm, and Miyasui Kazuha said.

"Yes, when my grandfather built the house, you came to hold the town festival." Nakamura Heihachi said respectfully.

Miyasui Sanye and Siye also got out of the car from the other side.,Really came to the place.,The girl was a little nervous.。

"Miss Sanye, I'll leave it to you today." Nakamura Heihachi walked towards the open space where the house was about to be built, and he didn't forget to say respectfully to Miyasui Miya.

"Don't worry." Miss Miko, who has just done a good job of psychological construction, has a reserved smile on her face, and she looks very reliable.

"Sanye, it's a beautiful apricot." Zao Yexiang walked over and whispered.

Miyasui Sanye followed her line of sight, and sure enough, it was the last person in the fashion trio. Yes, they are the only family in the town with the surname Nakamura. It's one of the two girls who taught Kyosuke Hojo in that art class.,I really didn't expect that today I actually sat in the car of Mina's boyfriend's house.,Come to help Nakamura Miyo's house hold a town festival.。

"Hello, Miss Sanye." Miko Nakamura, who was standing on the side of the road with her arms in her arms and an embarrassed face, saw Miyasui Mitsuha coming over, and shouted like her father.

"Hello, Nakamura." The girl's chin, the beautiful jawline was undoubtedly exposed, and she responded lightly and walked over.

Hahaha, it's so cool, in the heart of the laughter, the girl's nervousness disappeared.

The basic venue has already been arranged, and at this moment the envoy and the workers are moving the things on the pickup truck down for further arrangement.

What kind of ritual is the so-called Jizhen Festival?

Neon has been held since ancient times, and before the construction of a house begins, it must be held in the "Jizhen Festival". In addition, please bless the construction safety and the house can be completed smoothly. The "Jijin Festival" is held in the Shinto way on auspicious days, and the main activity is to worship the gods, informing the gods that civil works are about to begin, and the ground can only be broken after the worship of the gods.

This ceremony is not only preserved in the backward and closed Itomori, but also by modern large real estate developers and government projects, and even when the foundation stone of the Neon Atomic Energy Research Institute building was laid. This, can only be said to be left-handed science and right-hand theology, which is very auspicious.

In the emphasis on the "production of spirits", the town festival has an additional layer of communication with the "spirit" of the land. Only when the spiritual world and the real world coexist in harmony can those who inhabit it be happy and healthy.

After everything was ready, Miyasui Mitsuha walked in the front, followed by the people of the Nakamura family.

Purifying the body and mind; Séance: to greet the god of the land; Offerings: Offerings such as sake, salt, rice, water, and jade skewers (also known as hatsui materials, thanksgiving gifts) are offered to the gods; The greeting is played: The priest prays......

According to her grandmother's teaching, the girl carried out the ritual meticulously.

On the other side, there is also a person who is living seriously.

On the days when I didn't see Hojo-kun, Yukino Hyakuri went to school as usual and gave lectures to students. Gradually, she regained her original intention of becoming a teacher. Yes, it's also because of Teacher Yonako that she wants to become a teacher and save other people like herself.

Although the first thing she wanted to save was Gong Shui, who saved her in turn, she finally found the joy of being a teacher. After completing her teaching assignments, she would tell her classmates about what she had seen and heard in Tokyo, the universities, the high-rise buildings, the bustling streets, the subway that was constantly on day and night, and the neon lights that were lit all night.

Looking at the students below with a longing face, she felt that she was doing a good deed, and even the lunch box at noon seemed to be sweeter.

Yes, even if Hojo-kun didn't have time for the day, she was still cooking seriously and preparing the lunch box to take to school the next day. It's just that there is always extra food in the kitchen, so that when Hojo-kun arrives, he can serve him the dishes he has practiced many times.

Life is slowly getting better, and the only thing that bothers her is that she doesn't know why, but the teachers at the school were still a little alienated from her at the beginning, but recently a male teacher asked her to visit nearby Gifu Prefecture.

But it should be the credit of Hojo-kun, and recently Yukino herself has noticed that her improvement has become better, and her face, which used to be as white as snow and transparent, now has a pink color like cherry blossoms, and she looks healthy and charming.

Although he refused the invitation of the male teacher, Yukino still came to the nearby city alone on the weekend. Because she remembered that Hojo-kun had said that she wanted to ask herself to buy some coffee beans. So she scoured the city, bought the best coffee beans she could buy, and put them in the kitchen cupboard.

When the café is finished, you can enjoy it with Hojo-kun.

On days when he doesn't have to work, Yukino works in the field next to the house, removing weeds little by little.

Just like today, after watering the apple tree, Yukino felt that the last strength of his body was also exhausted, so he took off his shoes, climbed up the hallway, and sat on the wooden floor with the sliding door.

She took off her socks because she didn't plan to work anymore today. Playfully moved her lower toes, and as the socks that bound her feet were removed, she felt the fatigue of her body be relieved.

The breeze from the mountains blew through at the right time, and because the sliding doors and windows of the Japanese-style room were open, the wind blew through freely.

Yukino only felt a coolness on her body, the wind blew in from her cuffs, and a small bump suddenly stirred up on her body that had just come out of fine sweat, and a subtle moan came out of her sensitive mouth.

The straightened long legs couldn't help but retract, and the pair of small foot frames with white and tender skin were displayed in an arch shape, as if because of the stimulation of the mountain wind, under the transparent skin, the pale cyan meridians were clearly visible, and they were distributed in an orderly and disorderly manner.

A beautiful woman in baggy shorts and a T-shirt sat barefoot on the wooden porch, beautiful as a picture scroll, but unfortunately no one could appreciate it.

The only person present, a woman named Yukino Hyakuri, was all focused on the apple tree that was slightly shaken by the wind.

As she watched the delicate branches and leaves of the apple tree sway in the wind, and her heart shook with it, she thought of the poem:

God gave the earth, the water, and the sun

Earth, water, and sun gave the apple tree

The apple tree gave the red apple

You gave me that apple

And there are things that you don't even notice yourself

The sweetest place for your soul

When this poem appeared in his mind, Yukino himself was startled, blushing and not daring to recall the rest of the poem. As a teacher of ancient literature, she flexibly interpreted this poem, and perhaps, the apple tree planted by Hojo-kun is also full of his divine power.

When she closed her eyes, the hustle and bustle of the world seemed to leave her, and there was only the sound of apple leaves rubbing, like Hojo-kun's hand gently caressing her head, so warm.

In the warmth, a sentence suddenly appeared in Xue Ye's mind, making her distant mountain Rudai's eyebrows furrow slightly.

Thank you for the tips and monthly passes, I was twenty minutes late, but today is finally ten thousand

In addition, the monthly pass can actually be voted again on the 29th, double the monthly pass, big guys, I feel so sad to watch
