Normally, kagura ceremonies are held in the evening or late at night, but there are exceptions.

Since there were only three visitors and it was snowing heavily in the winter, the shrine decided to move the Kagura Dance ceremony to the afternoon for the sake of the safety of the visitors.

This ensures that visitors can visit all the activities at the shrine and get down the mountain before dark.

Seeing Ann and a few people coming, on the stage, Nobue Ito slowly squatted down, and she didn't stand up until two clergymen wearing white hunting clothes and holding wat beats on the side played the flute.

The sleeves waved, and the two jade feet wrapped in white socks kept swimming on the stage like dexterous butterflies, light and slow.

With each step, the hair ornament on the head and the kagura bell in the hand are shaken, making a "clanging" sound.

The red lips as gorgeous as flower petals, the fair and delicate collarbones, the narrow eyelashes, and the intoxicating beauty moles at the corners of the eyes, combined with Nobue Ito's elegant and quiet expression at this time, are very much like the legendary Mikamiko who danced for the gods.

Of course, it would be nice to get rid of those flutes.

An He looked at the two priests on the stage who were playing the Yamato flute a little helplessly.

He is not very able to appreciate this kind of music.

is like in "Your Name" that I watched in my previous life, the heroine Miyasui Sanye complained about.

[The sound of the Yamato flute from the shrine at night, if you let people in the city hear it, you probably will feel a little creepy.] 】

Selectively filtering the sound of the flute, An He looked at the Amamiya sisters on the side.

The two of them seemed to have seen this scene for the first time, and they were both a little fascinated by it.

Somehow, an evil picture suddenly appeared in Ahn He's mind.

Amamiya Saki was wearing a shrine maiden costume, lying on the bed with a pestle in one hand, the neckline was slightly open, revealing half a pair of round snow-white, and the other hand gently pressed against the skirt, rubbing the smooth and soft jade leg with her fingertips, lifting it all the way to the heel of the leg......

"Hiss~"

Anhe gasped and hurriedly turned his head, trying to dispel the unhealthy images in his mind.

However, it backfired, and the more he tried to forget, the clearer and richer those images became, and even Saori Amamiya appeared at the end......

The other side.

Shivered inexplicably, Amamiya Satsu tightened the scarf around her neck, subconsciously turned her head, and saw that her sister seemed to be looking in the direction of An He, and couldn't help but be curious:

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Hearing her voice, Amamiya Saki glanced back at her, then chuckled and shook his head.

"It's fine."

"Eh~ Really?"

Saori Amamiya was a little unconvinced.

Seeing this, Amamiya Saki was going to explain a few sentences, but as if she suddenly thought of something, her eyes rolled, and then she stepped forward in two steps, put her mouth to Amamiya Saori's ear and whispered.

At first, Saori Amamiya was a little uncomfortable because of the warm breath in her ears, but when she heard the content of Saki Amamiya's words, her eyes gradually shone with excitement.

……

Time passed slowly, and Nobue Ito on the stage returned to his original position, and the flute stopped, which also meant that the kagura dance came to an end.

"What do you think?"

The sudden female voice startled An He, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the girl who had led the way for him at the beginning was standing beside him at some point, and the Amamiya sisters were gone.

Noticing the confusion in his eyes, the girl first pointed into the distance, and then explained: "Those two guests said that they were looking for something to do with the palace secretary. ”

"Something?"

An He raised his eyebrows, looked in the direction of the girl's finger, and sure enough, he saw three figures under the eaves not far away, it was the Amamiya sisters and Miyamoto Shinichi.

I don't know what they said, but the latter had a smile on his face.

After watching it for a while, An He was about to withdraw his gaze, but the voice of the narrator suddenly sounded in his head.

[A conspiracy against you is quietly going on, Amamiya Saori even did not hesitate to take her sister in order to squeeze you dry tonight, but she obviously overestimated herself, and when she can't do it and she is strong again, the rest of Amamiya Saori ......]

The narrator's words surprised Ahn He.

Amamiya Saki plans to squeeze herself dry tonight, but isn't she in the menstrual period?

Could it be ...... She may not have had a menstrual affair at all, but the reason why she said that was actually to create an opportunity for herself to get along with Saori Amamiya.

Thinking of Amamiya Saki's deliberate actions in the past few days, An He felt as if he had found the truth of the matter.

It's just that An He couldn't figure out what was the reason for Sawu Amamiya, who was originally pretending to be a menstrual affair and planning to create a chance for his sister, suddenly changed his mind and chose a showdown, and even had to squeeze himself dry.

It can't be jealousy, right?

Inexplicably, the figure of Heilai Nadeshiko appeared in Anhe's mind.

It seems that the last time he was squeezed dry was caused by his affair with Kurori Nadeshiko being discovered by Amamiya Saki.

But there's no black resonant here.

Could it be ......

Yasuwa subconsciously raised his head and looked at Nobue Ito, who was about to leave.

As if noticing his gaze, the latter also turned his head to look.

They looked at each other, and for a moment, Yasuwa saw a sly smile on Nobue Ito's face.

[Yes, the other party deliberately kissed you when Amamiya Saki saw it, in order to let you fall into Amamiya Saki's revenge! ] is really a vicious woman, since the other party is unkind first, then I blame you for being unjust! Thinking of this, a flash of fierceness flashes in your eyes, and a perfect revenge plan comes to mind: the shrine at night is not guarded, you just need to go to the backyard, find Nobue Ito's room, and sneak into the ......]

The sudden narration confirmed Anhe's suspicions.

He felt strange.

Nobue Ito, a woman, has never taken the initiative before, why did she suddenly kiss her today, it turned out that it was because Saki Amamiya was watching.

No wonder An He always felt that Amamiya Saki looked at him strangely today.

Although Anhe didn't care about squeezing himself dry, he was cheated by Nobue Ito for no reason, which still made Anhe a little unhappy.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Ann and the girl who had not spoken for a long time spoke again.

"Do you know Miss Ito?"

She noticed the glance that Anwa had just made with Nobue Ito, and it didn't look like two strangers' eyes.

Her words pulled Yasuwa back from her thoughts, looked at Nobue Ito's departing back, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Yes, she's my teacher."

"Huh?"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise and said excitedly, "Then do you know who Ito-san's boyfriend is?" ”

"Boyfriend?"

An He raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the girl, who saw his reaction and thought he didn't know, and then explained:

"I mean the father of Miss Ito's child, when she first arrived, the palace secretary reminded us that she was pregnant with a baby and asked us to take care of it a little more, don't you know?"

The girl's words made Anhe stunned for a moment, and then thought of the phone call with the other party's father at Nobue Ito's house before, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Not only did he know, but according to the maiden, he was also the father of the unborn child.

Although he thought so, An He began to lie on his lips.

"You mean Mr. Ito's boyfriend, I know, a very handsome guy."

"Red bean paste? How handsome? ”

The girl's eyes were full of gossip.

In the past half a month, Ito Shinhui has gradually become familiar with the shrine, and similarly, everyone has a strong curiosity about her, the boyfriend of the eldest lady of the shrine family.

Seeing the girl's expression, An He couldn't help but smile, first pretending to have a thoughtful expression, and then chuckled: "As handsome as me." ”

"Huh~"

The girl let out a sighing sound, but did not refute.

Indeed, the boy in front of her looks extremely good in her opinion, if she didn't like the older one, plus the existence of the two girls who came with An He holding hands before, it is estimated that she would have stepped forward to confess at this time.

After chatting with the girl for a while, the Amamiya sisters, who had ended their conversation with Shinichi Miyamoto, walked back.

Seeing this, the girl took the initiative to stop the topic, and waited for the two sisters to come closer before speaking.

"Where are the guests going next?" Is it to pray for blessings or marriage? ”

Hearing this, An He looked at the Amamiya sisters, the latter's expression did not change much from before, seeing him, after thinking about it, Amamiya Saki replied:

"Let's go and ask for marriage first."

"Okay."

The girl nodded, raised her hand sideways and made a gesture of please, and continued, "Please follow me." ”

……

Follow the girl through the shrine, and soon, the four of them returned to the corridor where they had entered the shrine in the first place.

"This is it."

As she spoke, the girl raised her hand to the dead trees on both sides of the corridor and said:

"These are the shrine's red rope trees, you can also call it marriage, people will write their yearning for the future, or the expectations of the other half, on the wooden plaque, and then hang it on the tree with red rope and make a wish to the gods with a pious heart, so that the gods will bless them."

"Does it work?"

Saori Amamiya suddenly spoke, and what the girl said made her feel a little moved.

Hearing her words, without waiting for the girl to speak, the Amamiya Sawu on the side knocked on her head first and scolded:

"Talkative, don't question the gods."

Feeling the attack on her head, Saori Amamiya pursed her lips and muttered quietly.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I'm curious."

Hearing this, Amamiya Sawu wanted to say something, but the girl grabbed her and explained with a chuckle:

"Don't care.,Everyone who comes to the shrine will be curious about the spirit of marriage.,Actually, to be honest.,I don't know.,But the palace secretary said it was spiritual.,We'll follow the spirit.。

"Uh...... You're really. ”

An He was a little embarrassed, and even Saori Amamiya and Sawu Amamiya, who were still aggrieved before, were silenced by the girl's straightforward words.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, the girl looked a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue and said playfully:

"That's the case, if there really is a god, even if I secretly say a few bad things, she won't care."

After saying that, the girl waved her hand, and then led a few people to the dead tree, stood on tiptoe and pulled down the wooden signs on the tree, and finally found three wooden cards without writing and removed them, and then handed them to the three people, and while digging out the carving knife from their pockets, she said:

"Just write down what you want to say to the person you like, or to the person you like."

Taking the wooden card she handed over, An He played with it curiously, and then said:

"Don't you need to leave your own name?"

"No, because the moment you passed through the torii, the gods already felt your presence."

As she spoke, the girl handed the carving knife to An He, who took it, nodded and began to engrave on the wooden plaque.

Saori Amamiya on the side was a little curious and wanted to come forward to take a peek, but was stopped by the girl reaching out.

"Marriage cards are not allowed to be seen by others until they are attached to the marriage tree, because then the marriage cards will be tainted with the breath of the viewer, and the gods may make mistakes when blessing them."

"Huh?"

Saori Amamiya was a little dissatisfied, and crossed her waist and retorted, "If a god can make a mistake because of this trivial matter, then is she still a god?" ”

"This ......"

The girl was dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to refute for a while, but fortunately, An He had already carved the words on the wooden card at this time.

"I'll see!"

Saori Amamiya was a little impatient to reach for it, but the latter raised his hand to easily dodge it.

"Didn't you hear from the priest? Before the tree, the wooden sign is not allowed to be seen by others. ”

As he spoke, Yasuwa turned around, and despite Saori Amamiya's protests, he stood on tiptoe and tied the wooden sign to the highest place he could reach.

After finishing it, An He withdrew his hand and immediately stood aside, looked at Saori Amamiya and smiled, "Okay, you can go and see." ”

"You!"

Looking at the wooden sign that was several heads higher than herself, Saori Amamiya was angry, and then looked at her sister to ask for help, but the latter spread her hands when she saw her, and shook her head with a helpless expression.

Apparently she couldn't reach it either.

In fact, Saki Amamiya would still be able to get there if she jumped, but she didn't want to do that.

If she could, she would like to get an answer from An He herself.

Seeing that her sister refused to help herself, Saori Amamiya was angry and itchy, but she was helpless.

With a cold snort, she took the carving knife from An He's hand, then turned around, engraved her own words, and when she was done, she also wanted to learn from An He to hang the wooden sign to the highest place, but after stepping her feet, she found that she couldn't even reach the lowest branch, and finally had to hand the wooden card to An He with a red face, but her mouth was still a strong warning.

"Don't look at it!"

"Good, good."

An He said casually, but the moment he took the wooden card, he still glanced at it immediately.

Well, as he thought, the names on the wooden sign were An and Yusheng.

With a meaningful smile on his face, Anwa winked at Saori Amamiya, who saw this, and her pretty face, which was already blushing, was even more red.

waited for the wooden plaque of Amamiya Saori to hang on the tree, and the Amamiya Saki on the side also handed her wooden plaque, which was also engraved with the name An and Yusheng.

Yasuwa also hung it next to Saori Amamiya's wooden plaque, and as the cold wind blew, the two wooden plaques fluttered in the wind.
