Retelling the dream again, the last scene came to Bai Shu's mind, and he always felt a chill down his spine.

"This is my nightmare." Bai Shu sighed.

After Yu Zaoqian finished listening, the look in a pair of eyes was heavy, and the fox fire walked quietly around him, as if he had been restrained to the extreme calm.

He said, "I won't let you go to the altar, and you won't be the chief priestess."

"It's just a nightmare. It's probably because today's qualification selection made me think too much..." Bai Shu said slowly, but he didn't dare to relax completely. Fortunately, it was just a nightmare. If it's true... That was something Bai Shu could not even imagine.

"..." Yuzao didn't speak any more, he raised his hand to smooth the hair on Baishu's forehead.

Compared with the thin and thin one he saw at the beginning, Bai Shu should be regarded as a young man now. After his brows and eyes grew, he became more handsome and delicate.There is really no difference between wearing makeup and a shrine maiden.

Yu Zao looked down, Baishu's skeleton was already considered the tallest in the shrine, illusions could keep his identity from being seen through, and staying at the shrine was not a long-term solution.

"How about I take you out of the shrine and go to another place after this appointment with the envoy?" Tamamo asked him.

"Ah! That's what I planned too. I will leave Kyoto after the envoy's covenant. But I don't know where I'm going..." After leaving the shrine, he becomes a homeless man, maybe wandering , maybe find a place to live, maybe not necessarily...

"If you don't mind, I'll go with you." Yu Zaoqian saw the confusion in Bai Shu's eyes, and remembered that when he met him, Bai Shu was alone, and he should be a child who was left behind and became homeless .

"Okay." This couldn't be better.Bai Shu smiled, his worried look dissipated a lot.But he suddenly remembered something, and said awkwardly, "That... I... I'm actually a boy..."

"..." A deep laugh came from above Baishu's head, and Yuzao's brows and eyes stretched out, extremely gentle, "I knew it a long time ago, otherwise how would I recognize you?"

"Ah?" Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, remembering the thing that Yuzao told himself not long ago.The roots of the ears were a little hot, but the corners of the mouth were slightly curved.

"Speaking of which, what happened in the selection of qualifications today? When I was at Abe's house, I heard the onmyoji of Abe's house talking about you." Yuzao didn't forget what he was worried about when he came back.

"Qualification selection?" Bai Shu recalled what happened today, and relayed it to Yu Zaoqian.

After finishing speaking, Bai Shu recalled the way He Yu looked at him before he left, and said with some hesitation, "He Yu, the maiden from the branch of the Yuan family, always felt a little strange."

"Heyu? I'll let the people from Abe's family investigate her details." Yuzao wrote down this name, and if Baishu and himself can tell the wrong person, then that person is probably quite obviously strange.

Thinking of this, Tamamo exhorted him again, "The rest of the selection, one is to parade the streets with floats in Kyoto to select the shrine maiden who is the most popular among the people. In previous years, there were no shrine maiden nominations from the Inari Shrine. It is also a relatively long time in human history."

"But it's different recently. Because of the coming of God's light, the belief of the people in Kyoto is in the recovery stage. They have high expectations for Inari God. After all... something like that happened at the New Year Festival, God's Light Coming is really rare.”

"I think so too." Bai Shu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said following Yu Zaoqian's words. "And after the parade of floats, there will be the final review. The emperor will personally select the chief maiden. If you get the first place in the first two items... the final review is almost decided."

"..." Sure enough, it was still a rather difficult question.Yuzao pondered, "I can only take one step at a time. If necessary, you and I will leave Kyoto directly."

"The jacaranda and platycodon..." Bai Shu hesitated.

"I'll let Ge Ye take care of it, don't worry." Yu Zaomae comforted.

"it is good."

Compared with the tranquility and peace in Bai Shu's courtyard, this bustling courtyard is much more serious.

Listening to the news reported by his subordinates, Fujiwara Sangmu's expression became a little more gloomy in the shadow of the light.

"Extremely talented at the first level? The great maiden of the Inari Shrine is really outstanding."

"Yes...and the talents of the other two priestesses in the Inari Shrine are also above the first grade. Inari God's candidate priestesses this year...seems a bit unusual."

"Hmph." Fujiwara Sangki uttered an unhappy monosyllable, "If the chief priestess of the envoy's covenant this time is not Nana, the power of the Fujiwara family is very likely to be under that of Hera and Genji."

At this point in the conversation, Fujiwara Sangki paused for a moment before continuing to speak calmly. "Genji doesn't rely too much on the faith brought by the chief priestess. They have Yuan Jiangtian, which is a magical weapon. The Hirashi is because of the chief priestess Hiraoko last time. They are now more powerful than our Fujiwara family. Even if Hiraoko is punished, there is still Hiraoji Ji among the outstanding maidens of the Hira family."

"Nai Nai must win the position of the chief priestess, otherwise she will have to wait until ten years later for the envoy's covenant. Ten years is so long, this opportunity must not be lost." Baodao, a trace of sternness flashed in his deep eyes.

After a long time, the attendant heard the voice that originally belonged to Fujiwara Sangki continue to speak.

"Get in touch with the ninja people, it's going to be a big deal, they're sure to like it."

"Obey." The servant took the order and retreated.

-

The next day's dawn arrived as expected, and the warm sunlight enveloped the entire shrine, falling on the green branches, and everything was full of vitality.

"The weather is really nice today. It's usually a sunny day." Rihefang opened the door, very happy with today's weather.

"Eye right, eye left, do you want to get up earlier today and go out to have a look?" Hihefang walked over and knocked on the doors of the houses on the left and right of eyes.

"Don't, don't... I'm so sleepy." The voices of the eyes left and right came from the room vaguely.

"..." Although she already knew the answer in her heart, Hihebo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She also wanted to play with Eye Right Eye Left. The daily time differences of the three monsters were not well unified. trouble.

While thinking at Rihefang, there was a sound of a door being pushed from the other side of the courtyard.

Almost subconsciously, Rihefang turned around happily and said, "Ah, good morning Bai Shuda...uh...Tamamo-mae...Tamamo-mae-sama?!"

Before he could say good morning, Hihefang watched the figure coming out of the opposite room, and his brain couldn't turn the corner for a while.

Why is Master Yuzao in Lord Baishu's house!

No, I haven't seen two adults sleeping in the same room before, have I?

Moreover, Master Baishu is a girl?Tamamo-sama is a male monster, right?Living together always feels weird...Hihebo thought about it for a while, and after meeting Tamamo Mae's faint gaze, he quickly turned his head away, pretending nothing happened.

Master Yuzaoqian's aura is really terrifying, but Master Baishu is more gentle! !

"Ah, Rihefang woke up so early today, good morning." Bai Shu's voice came from the opposite side, and the voice was familiar to Rihefang.

"Mm... well, good morning... good morning Lord Baishu..." Greetings to Baishu stammeringly, Rihefang did not forget to treat everyone equally, "Good morning Yuzaoqian...Master..."

"Yeah." Yuzao glanced at the nervous little monster in front of him, and didn't say anything more.The little monsters he met before basically had such an attitude, it was too rare to change any impression, anyway, they were all unimportant things.

"Do you want to go out for a stroll in Rihefang today? The shrine also happens to be on a holiday, so there is no need to receive people who come to worship." Bai Shu suggested.

"Isn't that good...would it bother Mr. Baishu too much?" Rihefang was a little tangled in his heart.

"It's okay, you can pretend to be Shikigami and go out with us. Today I plan to go outside the shrine."

Hearing these words, Rihefang came to his senses and realized that what Bai Shu was wearing today was not a maiden uniform, but a set of plain clothes.

A delicately cut purple gown, the fabric looks soft and will wrinkle with the breeze.It doesn't look like a women's kimono, but unexpectedly matches Shirashu, and it looks very suitable.

"Go out? Go out of the shrine and go shopping?" Rihefang's eyes widened in surprise. She had never looked at Jingdong carefully.It is not easy for monsters to hide in Kyoto, let alone visit Kyoto together if they have leisure time.Maybe he could bump into the Onmyoji around the corner, and then be caught, and his life or death is unknown.

"Right." Bai Shu nodded.The main reason is that he wants to take advantage of this few free time to find out the way in Kyoto.

Since coming to the Kyoto Shrine, Bai Shu hasn't been out much.All day long, I either go to the Inari Shrine and watch the people come to pray and offer incense, or I stay in the courtyard and get moldy.

It's not a bad thing to go out more often if you become ill at home for a long time.What's more, Baishu also has his own little thoughts.Ever since he talked about his gender with Tamazamae last night, he wanted to try to wear men's clothes again.

Of course, this little wish may not come true in the short term, but it doesn't mean he can't buy the clothes first and put them away.On the day when he really wants to leave the shrine with Tamazamae, Shirashu can change out of the complicated shrine maiden clothes and leave here in men's clothes.

"Okay... I also want... I want to go out and have a look... Lord Baishu and Yuzaqian, please..." Half shy and expectant, Rihefang also wanted to go out with Baishu and the others.

As for the right eye and the left eye, Hihebo looked up at the clear sky, and let them continue to sleep. The sunlight is relatively lethal to the two monsters.

This time, after going out, Baishu, Huaying and Kikyo greeted each other, and then went to the front hall of the shrine with Tamazamae and Hiyoribo, who was disguised as a small paper figurine.

Bai Shu still needs to report to Fujiwara Nai about his trip, and Fujiwara Nai couldn't help but be surprised when he learned that Bai Shu wanted to go out, "Do you want to go out at this time? After the rest is over, there will be the second selection of the God Envoy Covenant... Don't you need to prepare well in the shrine?"

Fujiwara's remarks were completely based on the status of the chief miko candidate. The atmosphere at the shrine has been very tense these days, and everyone is making the final effort for the upcoming selection.

"Ah, it's a rare holiday. The Inari Shrine was too busy before, and I couldn't leave as a great witch." Bai Shu explained with a natural expression when he said this, "I don't have many days in Kyoto. To make the appointment end, it should be to go back to Chiba Shrine with Huaying and the others. If you don’t go shopping, there will be no chance in the future.”

"No—!" Fujiwara Nai subconsciously said, and when she came to her senses what she had said, she looked up and saw Bai Shu's puzzled eyes.

It can't be said that Baishu is very likely to become the chief priestess, and he will stay in Kyoto ten years from now, right?After all, the results of the selection haven't come out yet, so nothing can be decided this morning.

"I think that after the selection of the envoy's covenant is over, with the qualifications of the great priestess of Shirashu, there is a high probability that she will be the next chief priestess. Even if not, there is no problem at all staying in Kyoto... Besides, Inari God The number of shrine maidens in the hall is very small, and I very much hope that more of you can stay to make up for the vacancy in the shrine." Fujiwara Nana explained as tactfully as possible.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. The position of Chief Priestess is not just for someone with good talent. You are more suitable for handling the shrine's affairs than me." Bai Shu smiled.
