Chapter Ninety-Five: Nobue Ito's Shrine Maiden

Time goes back to half a month ago.

During the school holidays, Nobue Ito, who had planned to take a good rest for a while, suddenly received a call from her father, Toru Ito.

On the phone, Toru Ito made it clear that he would not embarrass her financially in the future, but at the same time put forward a condition, that is, to let Nobue Ito work part-time at Fukuen Shrine in Yamanashi Prefecture for a period of time.

The so-called shrine maidens are the priests who live in the shrine.

Many people "deify" the profession of witches, but in fact, it is not difficult to see witches in reality.

At best, shrine maidens are the "mediators" between the gods and humans.

On a spiritual level, shrine maidens can be said to be a belief in the Japanese.

But in modern terms, shrine maidens are just people who work at shrines.

There are three types of shrine maidens in ordinary shrines.

The first type is the "daily group" that cleans and greets, and it is also the shrine maidens who can be seen everywhere in the shrine, and they don't set a threshold, and they only need to know some common sense of the shrine to avoid it.

The second type is the "business group" who is in charge of the affairs of the temple, and most of them are older, and they are mainly responsible for presiding over some shrine activities.

The last category is the "dance group" that requires kagura to dance.

It's an ancient ritual, so it's mostly a skill that only people from shrines or shrine maiden families can learn.

And what Nobue Ito needs to work part-time is the last type of shrine maiden.

It is said to be part-time, but in fact, it is more like a substitute.

Because the previous shrine maiden was unexpectedly pregnant, Fukuen Shrine couldn't find a new host shrine maiden to replace it for a while.

This can make Shinichi Miyamoto, the priest of the shrine, worried.

At this time, he unexpectedly learned that the daughter of his friend Toru Ito, who also belonged to the shrine family, was also in Tokyo, so he tried to ask Toru Ito: Can you invite Miss Gui to come to the shrine for a part-time job.

As an old friend, Toru Ito naturally readily agreed.

So there is the current scene.

Nobue Ito, who was supposed to enjoy a quiet winter vacation, was forced to don her favorite shrine maiden costume and perform the kagura dances that made her ashamed of the parade passengers every day.

Finally, because of the heavy snow in the past two days, the shrine is no longer patronized, but I didn't expect three more travelers to come today.

Every time I think about this, Nobue Ito's teeth itch with anger.

As if sensing her resentment, the little witch who came to report shrank her neck and exited the room in a playful manner.

The other side.

As the clock ticked, it was time for lunch.

Shinichi Miyamoto invited Ann and the three of them to the shrine cafeteria for dinner, but the latter refused on the grounds that he had brought a bento.

Repeated invitations were fruitless, and Miyamoto Shinichi had to leave alone.

After he left, Saori Amamiya looked at An He, who was opening the travel bag, and spoke curiously.

"Why don't we agree to Mr. Miyamoto's invitation? I'm looking forward to trying the food at the shrine. ”

"Then you're going to be disappointed."

An He said, looked around, and saw that there were no other clergy, so he took out a box of canned meat from his travel bag, and said casually:

"In some shrines, meat is not allowed."

"Huh?"

Saori Amamiya made a puzzled sound, and then noticed the can of canned meat that Yasuwa took out, and exclaimed, "Then you still have so many ...... Woo woo woo~"

Before she could finish speaking, she was covered by An He.

"Shhhhh

Making a boo gesture, Yasuwa looked at Samisi Amamiya to the side, who saw him, nodded, and then stood up and closed the shoji in the living room.

Seeing this, An He let go of Saori Amamiya, and while wiping his saliva stained hand on the latter's clothes, he explained:

"That's just a few, although I don't know that Fuyuan Shrine is forbidden to ban meat, but I'm not afraid of 10,000 just in case, if it's banned, wouldn't we have no meat to eat for a day."

As soon as he heard that he couldn't eat meat, Saori Amamiya, who was still a little dissatisfied before, suddenly closed his mouth.

Quickly wiped out the canned food that belonged to him in front of him, and Seeing that the Amamiya sisters were still eating, An He simply got up and walked out of the living room.

He was going to go to the toilet.

Just two steps away, An He was embarrassed to find a serious problem.

He didn't know where the toilet was.

The impulse from the lower body became stronger and stronger, but fortunately, on the endless road, a slightly familiar back on the steps not far away gave An and his second brother hope for redemption.

With the help of [Memory Playback], Anhe recognized at a glance that it was the back of Miyamoto Shinichi, the secretary of the palace, and leaned towards the other party quickly.

Just before approaching, before An He could say hello, a charming, strange, rhythmic and somewhat familiar voice poured into his ears.

A bit like an action movie?

The thought crossed Ann He's mind.

As if to confirm his conjecture, Shinichi Miyamoto, who heard the movement behind him, also turned around at this time, and was surprised when he saw that it was Anhe:

"It turned out to be An Hejun."

An He nodded in response, but his eyes were attracted by the love madness 5 he was holding in his left hand.

This is a smartphone that was just released in September last year, and Saori Amamiya has one, but what attracts Anwa is not its price and features, but the content on the screen.

A man and a woman are playing poker on a spacious bed, and the variety of their postures is even a little staggering for An He, who has read countless films.

After only admiring it for a moment, Yasuwa withdrew his gaze and looked at Miyamoto Shinichi again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and quipped:

"Mr. Miyamoto, I didn't expect you to like watching this genre."

"It's okay, just take a look once in a while."

Shinichi Miyamoto smiled indifferently and put the phone down.

It was at this time that An He noticed that he was still holding an aluminum bowl in his other hand, which was full of dishes and rice, and he also saw chicken legs and fish in it.

As if noticing Yasuwa's gaze, Shinichi Miyamoto first glanced at the meat in the bowl, and then explained, "We don't have those taboos at Fukuen Shrine. ”

"I see."

An He nodded, then thought of the purpose of this visit, and asked:

"Excuse me, Mr. Miyamoto, is there a toilet nearby?"

"Toilets?"

Shinichi Miyamoto stretched out his hand and pointed to a small building not far away, explaining, "There's one there, but there's no toilet paper in it, do you need it?" ”

As he spoke, Shinichi Miyamoto pulled out a wad of toilet paper from his pocket.

However, An He smiled and waved his hand, refusing again and again.

"No, no, no, thank you, Mr. Miyamoto, for your kindness, but I brought it myself."

Just kidding, the person who was still watching that kind of action movie just now, the ghost knows if he ever hit Kuqi, and An He doesn't want to touch other people's kun indirectly.

When he returned to the social affairs office, he put on his shoelaces, and when Anhe reappeared here, Miyamoto Shinichi was gone, and he thought that the other party had changed to a quiet and unmanned place to continue to appreciate art.

Speaking of which, although it was a quick glance just now, but if you think about it carefully, the heroine in it seems to be a bit outrageous.

[Big? A gleam flashed in her eyes. Since Shinichi Miyamoto himself doesn't care, and can even calmly watch the live broadcast of the surveillance in the bedroom at home, does that mean that you also have that chance? Thinking of this, a brilliant plan comes to mind: you only need to get Shinichi Miyamoto drunk tonight, and then get the surveillance video and home address in the other party's mobile phone, and then go to his home at night, and use the video as a threat to force ......]

What do you mean?

The sudden narration shut down Ann's brain for a while, and it took him a while to sort out a few of the key words.

What Shinichi Miyamoto just watched was not an action movie, but the live broadcast of the surveillance of his bedroom, and the identity of the heroine in it is naturally self-evident.

Obviously, Shinichi Miyamoto's expression was still very calm when he watched the video just now, and it was obviously not the first time.........

Thinking of this, An He couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

He planned to end his trip to the shrine as soon as possible and leave early with the Amamiya sisters.

After all, a man who can watch his wife's closet video with a smile on his face is really scary.

It's just that Anhe's idea can't be realized after all.

Because when he was walking through the courtyard and about to reach the toilet, Anhe met another acquaintance.

Nobue Ito.

At this time, she wore a gold crown on her head, holding a kagura bell, wearing a white kimono robe with a red placket and a red rope tied around her waist, and a pair of white cloth shoes on her feet.

Because it was coming head-on, at the same time that Anwa saw Nobue Ito, the other party also saw him.

Both of them were stunned, and then spoke at the same time.

"Why are you here?" ×2

There was a moment of silence around, and finally An He took the lead:

"I traveled to Mt. Fuji, and by the way, I came to Fukuen Shrine to ask for marriage."

"You're the only one?"

Nobue Ito's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, she thought of the previous report of the little witch maiden, and it was clear that there were three people.

Hearing this, An He waved his hand and explained, "There is also Amamiya Saki and her sister. ”

"Oh~ It turned out that I brought my girlfriend to ask for marriage."

Nobue Ito had a sudden expression, but her face was full of sarcasm.

After all, the man in front of him had said that he was going to have a wedding with her a month ago, but now he secretly brought other girls to a place like Fukuen Shrine that is famous for marriage.

Nobue Ito's expression was too direct, and Yasuwa had to divert her attention.

"How did you end up here, and you're still wearing a shrine maiden costume?"

"Me?"

Nobue Ito pointed at herself with her finger, then gently shook the bell in her hand, revealing a desolate expression and continued:

"I'm miserable, the father of the child in my arms ran away with someone, and I can only become a shrine maiden to pray for the gods to give me a little love."

"Seriously."

As he spoke, Yasuwa walked up to Nobue Ito and pulled the phoenix crown on her head with his hand.

The latter slapped his groping hand away and rolled his eyes before explaining.

After listening to Nobue Ito's narration, Anwa didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to joke:

"Why are you so resistant to the shrine maiden, in fact, you are quite cute in this outfit."

Hearing him say this, Nobue Ito pursed her lips and was about to say something, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking towards this side not far away.

Although they had only met once, Nobue Ito still remembered each other's names.

Amamiya yarn fog.

Somehow, she took back her original sarcastic words, and instead put one hand on An He's shoulder, and the other hand held the latter's cheek, winked and smiled:

"Does An Hejun really think so?"

Although he wondered how Nobue Ito's transformation was so big, Yasuwa nodded anyway.

After all, the shrine maiden costume or something, it's really a bit of a poke XP.

Seeing this, Nobue Ito smiled even more, seeing that Saki Amamiya was not far away, she had noticed this, and suddenly stepped forward a few steps, hugged Anwa at the same time, and stood on tiptoe to imprint her red lips.

Without giving Anwa a reaction, the two were separated by a touch, and then, Nobue Ito ran alone with a smug smile on her face.

"What's going on?"

Yasuwa didn't understand the meaning of Nobue Ito's move.

Scratching his head, he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to walk towards the toilet.

Nobue Ito would appear here part-time is something that Ann and never expected, after all, in the daily chat between the two, except for bickering and driving, it is rarely involved in the recent situation.

went to the toilet, and when Anhe came out again, he seemed to be alive.

The cold wind blew, An He shook his body, and then walked towards the office.

Pushing aside the shoji, the Amamiya sisters are still sitting honestly in the living room.

"I just asked, and I found out that this shrine can bring meat."

As he spoke, Yasuwa pulled the shoji up and sat down next to Amamiya Saki.

It's just that for some reason, he always feels that the way the latter looks at him has changed a lot compared to before.

Well......

It's a bit like the look in his eyes when the matter with Heilai Nadeshiko was revealed before.

It's like, what's going on in between.

asked Saori Amamiya, she didn't know, and Ann and simply decided to wait for no one to inquire in private.

The three of them sat in the living room for a while, and suddenly, the shoji door opened a gap, and a girl in a witch costume came in, and when she saw that the three of them were there, she immediately opened the shoji completely, bowed first, and said:

"Please move, the Kagura Dance is about to begin."

"Huh? So early? ”

An He was a little surprised, and when she heard this, the girl had an apologetic look on her face and replied:

"Since there are only three guests, we don't need to build a huge stage for this Kagura Dance."

"I see."

An He nodded in understanding.

The three of them got up and followed the girl through the corridor until they came to a courtyard.

In the courtyard, on the simple stage, a figure is standing, it is Nobue Ito.

She wore a white robe with a red pattern on the body and a long red skirt at the hem.

His long hair was tied up in a high bun with flowers and feathers, and he wore a white hat with a red motif on it.

In his left hand, he holds a long wooden scepter, and at the top of the scepter is a metal ball encrusted with red gems! The whole outfit looks very mysterious and elegant, making people feel that they are messengers of the gods with divine powers, and on their right hand is a kagura bell that Anwa had only seen before.

While An He looked at her, the other party also noticed him, but his eyes did not fluctuate.

At this moment, Nobue Ito is like the awe-inspiring Mimiko in a film and television drama, cold, elegant, and mysterious.
