After the rainy season, the breath of early winter is gradually revealed.Even on a sunny day when the sun is shining, after the slightly cold air and the temperature of the sun are neutralized, there is not much warmth left.

Bai Shu clasped his hands, warm palms against slightly cold backs, silently resisting the chill.

Huaying hopped and walked in front, the little girl was humming a song, she was in a great mood, and she was looking forward to today's trip to condolences.Kikyo followed her and told her not to run too fast and be careful not to sprain her feet.

The early winter sun shines on the bare branches, and the shadows fall on the ground, interlaced and mottled.

Bai Shu suddenly felt that during this period of time at the shrine, life was not bad.Compared with the previous 20 years of step by step, the experience of this world made him feel more real.If you can't find your way back, living here is the same.

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Bai Shu's lips.In the past, I always thought of myself as an outsider and felt alienated from the world.Maybe when he first came, the experience was not so good, but fortunately, most of the people and monsters he met were kind.

"Bai Shu, hurry up, the jacarandas are almost gone." Kikyo who was walking in the middle turned her head and urged Bai Shu, the sun fell on her, and the girl smiled softly and brightly.

"Okay." Bai Shu responded, and quickened his pace to follow the figures of Bellflower and Jacaranda.

The breeze passed by, blowing the bells tied around the waists of the witches, and the crisp sound was ethereal.

When the three of Bai Shu walked to the front hall, Yuno had already led a group of shrine maidens to stand neatly. According to the difference in rank and clothing, the positions from the chief shrine maiden to the apprentice shrine maidens were all strictly divided.

Lady Xinzi stood at the front wearing a black and red maiden costume, with complicated patterns on the hem and obscure runes embroidered with golden thread, revealing a sense of ancient solemnity.

"Bai Shu, the three of you stand by my side." Seeing the three of them, You Nai quickly called them to his side.

All the witches have their own place, and the apprentice witches always stand beside the great witch because of their age.First, it represents the alternation of the old and the new, and the gods care forever.Furthermore, for today's trip, most of the children taken in are the same age as the apprentice witches, so this arrangement is more appropriate.

It was about the same time, Xinzi asked. "Is everyone here?"

"Yes, Lord Xinzi." Yuno replied.

"Since that's the case, you should take half of the maidens to go out, and the rest will go with me to Lord Zhouya's shrine to pray." Xinzi's words were serious, and she urged everyone meticulously. "Tomorrow is the winter festival, and the winter festival is the last festival of the year. Please be careful, tomorrow I will take you to the shrine of Lord Yujintsu to pray."

"I would like to follow the teachings of Master Xinzi." The witches knelt down and saluted with pious expressions.It is their honor to be able to go to the shrine to pray as priests who inherit the will of the gods and enshrine the spirits.

Emerging from them is the power of faith.This is the fourth time Bai Shu has seen such power. The strands are not strong, but gentle and firm. After gathering together... Bai Shu looked at the top of the shrine.

Under the blue sky and above the magnificent shrine, there seems to be a golden eye looming.

The shrine maidens divided into two teams, one team followed Lord Shinko to Hiruba-sama's shrine, and the other team followed Arino to the gate of the shrine.

Today, no people came to the shrine to worship, but the street where the shrine is located was crowded with crowds on both sides, and people looked in the direction of Chiba Shrine with expectant eyes.

When the gate of the shrine was opened and the priestesses came out one by one, the smiles on the faces of the people emerged.

On the streets, the knotting and decorations prepared for the winter festival gave the whole Chiba Town a new look.Bai Shu and the other three followed You Nai step by step, their steps were correct, but they couldn't avoid looking around from the corner of their eyes.

The purpose of the trip to Chiba Shrine is to condolences to the people of Chiba Town and pray for them.It is very similar to the blessing ceremony held in the village, but there are some differences in the details.

The first is to walk through the main street of Chiba Town, and finally present the "sacred gift" to the people on the street. The "sacred gift" is a red knotted knot that has been blessed. The knotted knot was prepared half a month ago and woven by the maidens. , and then handed over to Lord Xinzi to pray.

Homeless children and the down-and-out poor receive extra kindness from the shrine when the "sacred gifts" are given.For example, some cherry cakes and a warm jacket, I hope they can spend as much time as possible.

"I didn't expect that today would be the day when the maidens of the Chiba Shrine go out. It's really good luck." Hearing the voices of people's lively discussions, Hiyorubo happily circled behind the wall with the sunny doll in his arms.

Afterwards, she carried the sunny doll behind her back, and began to climb the wall, "As long as you climb to the wall, you will be able to see Miko-sama, I don't know if you will see her. Climb hard, Hiyoribo!"

"..." This kind of wall can be climbed with a little demon power, right?Qingtian doll lay on Rihefang's shoulders, not quite understanding.

"You can't use demonic power. It would be bad to be discovered by humans. And there are so many miko-samas across the same wall, and there will be big troubles. I, I'm going to climb up...Come on!"

Not long after, a little head poked its head out from the edge of the white wall. I don’t know which naughty child secretly climbed the wall to watch the excitement. The fluffy hair looked a little messy and fluffy.

"Huh--! Come up." Rihefang propped his hands on the wall, and his eyes couldn't wait to search outside the wall until a crowd of red and white witch costumes appeared in his eyes, and he quickly retracted his head to the top of the wall.Like a mimosa that is suddenly touched, it is a conditioned reflex.

"..." Mingming had just climbed so hard, and suddenly returned to the front of the struggle.However, it seems, it seems, it seems that I saw Miko-sama!In the group of witches traveling mightily, "she" had a friendly smile on her face.

I don't know if Miko-sama has seen me, I'm really nervous and looking forward to it!

On the street, Bai Shu looked at the empty wall for a while, and there seemed to be a line of sight coming from there just now.

"What are you looking at, sister Baishu?" Hua Ying followed his gaze, feeling a little confused.

"It's nothing, just now I seem to see a child lying on the wall, maybe I was wrong." Bai Shu smiled, but he was puzzled by the gaze just now, it was obviously not malicious, but it was also very fierce... Could it be acquaintance people?

"No way, the wall is so high. Which family's children are so naughty?" Huaying blinked, a little incredulous.

Bai Shu was about to answer, but there was a coughing sound in front of him, "Ahem." It turned out that the two of them were discussing and distracted in a low voice, which had already been discovered by You Nao.

"..." Immediately, they stopped discussing and followed Arino obediently.

Kikyo was silent when she heard the conversation between Baishu and Huaying, but her brows were frowned. She could sense the ghost power around her from the jade of the four souls. I hope that there will be no accidents in today's trip. .

Originally, Kikyo felt that he had no chance to travel, and he also asked Master Xinzi for his opinion. "Nothing will happen during the day, and it's just around the shrine. The monsters may be ready to move, but they are absolutely impossible to provoke. Don't worry, these days are the days when the gods are the most powerful, and you haven't gone out for a long time to see Already." Master Xinzi said so.

It was already afternoon when Bai Shu and the witch team finished walking the main street.Twilight has not yet come, nor is it as bright as noon.

There were so many people who came to receive the "divine gift", the long line could barely see the end.The homeless orphans also came, and Arino temporarily placed them in a nearby shed.

The shed was temporarily built a few days ago, and after today, the attendants of the shrine will dismantle it and take it back.

All the maidens are busy, some are distributing "sacred gifts" and some are distributing sakura pancakes and jackets.Bai Shu and the others are the youngest of the three, helping to distribute the "Sacred Gifts" together.

"I wish everyone a safe winter festival." With a smile on his face, Bai Shu delivered the "divine gift" to people's hands.

"Thank you, little witch." The words of the people were respectful, even though Bai Shu was still a child, they still followed the honorific words.

Unknowingly, time flies by quickly.When the twilight fell, the afterglow scattered around Bai Shu's feet, stretching his shadow very long.

I don't know how many "divine gifts" in the hands of the witches, the crowd who came to receive the "divine gifts" gradually became thinner, and in the evening, there were only a few sporadic ones.

Guessing that no one would come again, Arino prepared to let everyone go back. "Okay, pack up and we're going back. It's getting dark."

When Arino finished these words, Bai Shu was walking back from the street.He had just delivered cherry cakes to an old man who was inconvenient in his legs and feet, so he helped the old man back.

Today's workload is a bit heavy, and the muscles on the arms are a little sore. I need to take a good rest when I go back, otherwise, there may be some troubles when I dance the Kagura dance tomorrow.

While walking back, Bai Shu was lost in thought.Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him.Just as he raised his head in surprise, the voice of the visitor followed.

"Can I receive the priestess' gift?"

What was supposed to be a very pleasant sound fell on Bai Shu's ears, like thunder, or like fireworks exploding unexpectedly.In an instant, all other sounds around him turned into silence.

A familiar figure was reflected in the bright pupils, and the elegant and delicate fox face remained unchanged.

After being extremely astonished, Bai Shu's mood rippled slightly, and his pursed lips rose.

"You...why are you here?"
