Riding a magic broom to look down on the shrine from a high place is quite visually impressive. Shinto shrines are shrines that worship and worship the gods of Shintoism, and are the oldest type of religious architecture in Japan, and they are very common in Japan.

Even in the fantasy age of witches and magic, some traditions did not fade from Japanese life. There are still many ordinary people who pin their beautiful visions on the gods of the shrine, and its existence has a historical inevitability.

Not only are there witches in Japan, but there are also many legends about gods and demons since ancient times. The shrine culture is a real part of the legend, and it is closely linked to the Japanese people in the form of architecture.

At the entrance is a 4-meter-tall vermilion torii, which was believed by the ancient Japanese to bring warmth and yang energy from spring, thereby promoting agricultural production.

The paint on the torii gate has peeled off under the erosion of time and wind and rain, revealing the brown wood underneath, the color is not as bright as the new torii, and the faded and peeling paint seems to announce that the era of the glory of this shrine is gone forever, and now it is the age of magic, and the traditional techniques of exorcism have long been outdated, and sooner or later will be obsolete by the times.

Some large shrines, such as the very famous Fushimi Inari Shrine in Japan, have shrine witches who have been studying the spells of Western witches since their early years, and the exorcism uses ornate fireball techniques, or fireball rain, instead of charms.

Sakuma Shrine is probably one of the smallest in Japan, covering an area of only about 500 square meters, and is home to both the Temizusha and the shrine hall, as well as the Kagura Hall and the Dance Hall.

The shrine hall is the main building of the shrine and is divided into three types: the main hall, the coin hall, and the worship hall, but Sakuma Shrine is only a small shrine with a small name, and only the main hall and the worship hall are located.

The main hall is the most sacred place in the shrine, where the gods reside, and human access is prohibited. The worship hall is literally understood as a place of worship and prayer. Generally, the worship is carried out outside the worship hall, and the official worship is carried out inside the worship hall, so it is clearly divided.

In a sense, Japanese etiquette is quite troublesome.

The last place is the conferral hall, the northernmost room of the shrine, where shrines such as signs, ema, and amulets are awarded to worshippers. A large brass-colored lock hung from the door of the granting office, and the iron chain on it was also rusty, and it looked like it had been left unattended for a long time.

"Also, no one is going to come to a shrine that is about to go out of business to buy merchandise."

After "visiting" the shrine in the sky, Riji remembered that he still had to clean the yard. The simplest Level 1 Typhoon Ballowing can complete the task, which can blow away dust, dry water, and also have the effect of collecting fallen leaves and garbage, inhaling them into a small tornado, and finally actively jumping into the trash can, completing the cleaning of the courtyard without any effort.

Level 1 Wind Balls is the foundation of the basics, and even weak witches can use it. The witches of this world are divided into levels according to their magic powers, 0-1000 magic power is the lowest level of weak witches, 1000-10000 is witches, and the highest level of the big witch must be 10000+ magic power to become.

She didn't know what her level was, but she knew from Shizuru's words that she was a witch with a strong learning ability, not to mention that she had to have more than 5,000 magic powers.

The use of magic does not require the use of a wand, which only has the effect of amplification, not a medium. While Jingliu hadn't gone crazy yet, she threw the pots and pans over, and she quickly recalled the use of the Wind Balloon Technique.

Inhale, exhale, and let the warm power flow from the heart and then through the body along the texture of blood vessels, tendons and muscles. This strange warmth brought peace of mind and pleasure, and as she wished, the yellow or pale green leaves, dust and sand on the ground, swept up by a cool breeze, fell in turn into the trash can in the corner.

Riji used the same method to clean up several other places.

When Jingliu walked to the courtyard with the spoon, she just put the broom back in her room and paced outside as if nothing happened. Let my sister see that she looks like someone who plays with a broom for the first time, and she will definitely be suspicious.

How could a witch who had studied magic since childhood be so interested in the broomstick that she got along with day and night? She must perfectly adapt to this new world of magic and hope, and become a real witch and Sakuma Riki.

"Sister, it's time to eat. Did you clean the garden just now? ”

"Surely, I'm such an unreliable person?"

Riji leans over to show her sister the spotlessly clean courtyard behind her. The ground is not dirty, and with the super practicality of the wind balloon as a guarantee, there is no suspense about the clean floor.

The aroma of food wafts from the kitchen, whetting the appetite and sending ripples of hunger in the depths of the stomach. The authentic Japanese curry made by a Japanese witch is very interesting when you hear the name.

The furnishings of the dining room are also very simple, with a wooden table and two chairs with backrests. The tables and chairs are a few years old, the surface has been freshly painted, and they will crunch when they sit on it, and the loose texture makes Ruiji worry about whether the shelves will suddenly fall apart in the middle of the meal.

The sourness of being pierced into the body by the legs of the chair is indescribable, and everyone who understands it understands.

The content of lunch is very simple, one dish and one soup. In the past, the family could eat three dishes and one soup or four dishes and one soup, and occasionally went outside to go to the restaurant, but since the death of the mothers, the family has no breadwinner, and the food level has been relatively reduced to the level of bitterness.

For people like Ruiji, who could only eat instant noodles and boxed lunches in their previous lives, curry rice is a rare delicacy. Although the texture of the chicken is not as tender and delicious as the freshly killed chicken, it is chewy and chewy.

The fresh vegetables are boiled in the salty curry paste, and the time is just right, the carrots and potatoes are not cooked until soft, and the crispness is preserved, so the curry paste is almost cooked before adding it.

This cooking method is surprisingly in line with the taste of the season.

Shizuru added the steaming white rice to the bowl and folded her hands. Ritch knew what was going next and followed her.

"I'm moving—"

They said the classic line in unison.

Japanese etiquette encompasses all aspects of life, including food. Greetings to food are one of them, and they are similar to the pre-dinner prayers of Westerners.

They are not young ladies from high-profile families, they don't need to hold a shelf to eat, they eat in small bites, and when they are full, the food is cold. When Shizuru cooks, he is as violent as a student of a sports club who has just undergone physical training.

There's nothing to blame for girls eating in big gulps, and they look even more appetizing.

The only soup that goes with it is the kombu tofu miso soup, and Shizuru first sweeps away a bowl of rice, followed by a large bowl of soup. The witch doesn't have to worry about her body fat rate being too high, magic can increase the efficiency of fat burning, no matter how much you eat and drink.

The witches are all well-proportioned women, and there can be no fat.

There is a mobile phone in Jingliu's hand, and the screen stays in the mailbox interface. It must be a major event in life to make young people so obsessed with that small electronic screen.

In addition to learning magic and promotion, there is only one major event left in the life of a witch.

Ritch changed her playful tone and asked, "Dating?" Which wild witch? ”

"It has nothing to do with dating, it's a letter of entrustment from the Shinjuku City Witch Association, and this time it's a commission to get rid of strange things at Ms. Yamazaki's house at No. 1, 5-chome, Okubo, Ms. Yamazaki has been having nightmares lately, and when she gets up in the morning, she finds that someone seems to have sneaked into her home in the middle of the night. There were no signs of the door being pried open, and there were some eerie black footprints left on the wooden floor...... In short, it's not something you're interested in. ”

Shizuru hurriedly ate lunch, piled the used dishes and chopsticks in the sink, and washed them immediately when he didn't have time. Looking at this battle, there should still be things to be busy.

"You're going to get out right away?"

"The arrangement of getting rid of strange stories should be carried out in advance, I don't know the types of strange stories for the time being, and I have to investigate when I get to the scene, which sounds like a very easy job, and it takes several hours to really do it. I'm probably not going home for dinner tonight, so I'll ask you to heat up the curry that's left over from today's lunch. ”

Before Ruiji could react, holding a wooden bowl with half a rice left in her hand, her sister had already put on a witch hat and rode a broom out of the courtyard, turning into a black phantom and galloping towards the clear sky, and finally disappeared.

The witch who comes and goes like the wind......

The first meeting between the two ends with Ruiji being thrown down, and when she finishes the rest of the rice and puts the rest of the curry paste in the refrigerator, she suddenly feels a little bored.

Bored and confused.

"Next...... Forget it, it's good to go shopping. ”

It's not interesting to stay alone to look after the house, and the books and electronic devices in the room are not in the mood to study carefully for the time being. The best way to adapt to the new world is to be a part of it, not an individual.

Ruiji washed the dishes and chopsticks with the washing magic of Level 1 Water Magic, put them back in their place, put on the light blue translucent sunscreen robe in the closet, put on the black witch hat with a wide brimmed peak, and brought a wallet.

There are only a pitiful 20,000 yen in his wallet, and they are all money that Ruiji uses to buy textbooks, and they cannot be used for other purposes. It doesn't cost you to ride a broomstick, and you can see the scenery along the way.

The poor witch is not qualified to fly into the floating island above the Ginza business district, which is a high-spending area for ordinary people and rich witches.

That being said, it's always a good idea to check it out, and if you can find a place to hire a witch temporary, you can also mix up some pocket money, buy some beer, and buy a pack of cigarettes (bushi).

It's hard to move without money, and the same applies to witches.

After getting ready, Ruiji went back to his room to get the broom, locked the doors and windows, and straddled the broom pole as he had just taken off. The broom senses the owner's thoughts and rises into the air at a steady speed.

A beautiful Sunday must not be wasted in this deserted shrine.
