the world

After Taki Wakaba finished assessing dozens of people without interruption, Onimai Tsuji Wuyou, who was the least senior shrine maiden and ranked last, finally walked in.

Seeing that it was Oni Wu Tsuji, Taki Wakaba couldn't help but relax. She called Oni Wu Tsuji to sit down and made him a cup of tea.

Because of the short time, Taki Wakaba did not have time to cook tea carefully for him. She poured the cake tea that was ground into powder into a tea bowl, poured it into boiling water, and fully stirred the tea in the bowl with a tea whisk until it reached the ideal state.

Onimai Tsuji sat down casually, using the sitting posture that was killed by countless eyes from the girls in the same company, one leg was straightened, the other leg was arched, and the elbow of the corresponding arm was bent and rested on the arched knee.

Seeing the busy Taki Wakaba and Onimai Tsuji, I thought of the girl who was traveling with me when I heard that the surprise assessment was about to face an enemy, muttering and praying to myself, I couldn't help but want to laugh, but unfortunately this ridicule could not be conveyed to my face .

"It's cold outside, isn't it? Warm your hands with this cup of tea."

Taki Wakaba made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time walked quickly behind the screen, and took out a delicate wooden box.

Onimai Tsuji's gaze followed Taki Wakaba, "What is that?"

"This is a dim sum that is in short supply in the Jingu. Although I know you definitely don't lack Tang Guozi, this taste is also a specialty of Ise. You haven't tasted it. I think I don't have anything to test you for this assessment. , I prepared tea and snacks for you." These were prepared by Taki Ruoye, she said, "After all, this is rarely my home game, so of course I want to treat you as a guest well."

Beautiful tang fruit was placed between the two of them, and the matcha on the low table beside them was exuding a warm aroma, and the snow scene reflecting white light could be seen from the gap in the curtain.

Even though there are only two people in the house at this time, Onimai Tsuji and Taki Wakaba, Oniwu Tsuji feels that the house is very lively.

He picked up a piece of tang fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it, and took a sip of matcha.

"Is your stomach problem still that serious?" Taki Wakaba asked.

Ise’s Tang confectionery is very sweet, so it is very precious. Taki Wakaba specially paired it with bitter matcha, but Kimai Tsuji tasted it with the same expression.

"It's still the same. Even the familiar food in the past is not a familiar taste in my mouth. It's another strange taste. I'm used to it."

"What did your doctor say?"

"...He ran away. He insisted that my current appearance is the final effect, and I left him to let him continue to study. He seemed very reluctant."

Running instead of resigning is enough to see the doctor's complaints about Onimai Tsuji.

"Are you going to find him?"

"...He seems to be really at the end of his rope. I don't know why he looks very painful when he stays in my house every day. I was like that under his treatment three years ago. The treatment and care he came up with after losing his hair in the past three years is still the same. The sequelae are like the price of curing other diseases, and they are firmly rooted in me. He said to me with a painful face that if I let him go out to find herbs, By the way, think about the treatment plan, maybe there is a god who will show mercy to him and teach him the magic method in a dream. The note he left when he left said that he was going to find the hard-to-find herb in the world. If the herb was found, he would come back .”

"Is that herbal medicine on your prescription?" Although the reason given by the doctor was a bit bizarre, but after hearing Qingmei praise the doctor's words and deeds before, Taki Ruoye felt that the doctor still did his best.

Considering Onimai Tsuji's miserable temper in treating the body, Taki Wakaba felt that he might be more considerate of the doctor.

"Yes, it's called the blue Bana flower. It's a name I've never heard of before. There are many other colors of Bana flowers, but no one has ever seen cyan."

"The blue other shore flower... I will help you pay attention to it later, maybe this wonderful herb will leave some traces in the records of the scrolls." , and said, "Don't eat it. It doesn't feel good to eat if you don't like it? Although others will persuade people who have no appetite to eat a little, but if it's just one or two meals and they don't have an appetite, I think it's better to eat it." It’s better not to eat.”

"No, I'll take it for lunch. Although I don't like to eat, if I don't eat, I will starve to death."

"You still praise me quite a lot." Taki Ruoye said with a light smile.

"I remember you didn't know how to make tea before, but you seem to be proficient in it now."

"I also learned this from Akema Gozen, but I never had a chance to make a cup for you." Taki Wakaba held a cup of tea and looked out the window, "When it snows, time always seems to slow down. "

"Which time is longer, the sleepless night or the snowy day?"

Hearing the question of Oniwu Tsuji, Taki Wakaba was stunned, and then remembered that Oniwu Tsuji was often awakened by nightmares before, or was forced to get up because of difficulty breathing.She used to guard the night for the Patriarch just like every maid in the Wu Mi Mansion.

"I remember that the corridor in your mansion was newly waxed at that time, and it would make a dull sound when knocked. At that time, I would sometimes run on the corridor. If it was night, then I can hear my dull footsteps echoing. I like the footsteps at that time very much. When I concentrate on it, even if it is a little fun and interest, I will feel comfortable in my heart. Do you think time passes slowly now?"

Seeing the expression on Oniwu Tsuji's unresponsive expression, Taki Wakaba said: "Our conversation has timed out, and the priestess behind should be waiting impatiently. She must be thinking that Taki Shaogongji has made things difficult for others. The problem is keeping people inside for so long."

"I just came in!"

"I'm sorry, I'll have a good chat with you next time." Taki Wakaba put away the wooden box and put it in the hands of Onimai Tsuji, "You give these snacks to the girls who are with you, they should know I like it very much."

Oni Wu Tsuji had no choice but to walk out with the wooden box in his hands. He stepped on the floor and remembered what Taki Wakaba said.

Is the sound of footsteps on the floor really that pleasing?

So he took off his clogs, carried them with his hands, and trotted along the corridor.

"Why hasn't Chacha come here? It's been so long."

"As far as her rotten knowledge reserve is concerned, it must be a leak."

"If it were me, I would be ashamed to death after learning that little thing and accepting the assessment by Taki Shaogongsi."

"Wait, did you hear that? There seems to be a booming sound coming from here, which is a bit scary." Someone from the witches gathered in the soil said.

"It seems to be the sound of people running, who is running on the corridor?" Twelve Feather Green answered.

"Wow, even I don't dare to run on the corridor of the Jingu." Yuki's tone seemed a little excited, as if she had wanted to do this for a long time.

"No way." The girls in Gui Wu Tsuji's group exchanged glances.

"I have a bad feeling, it can't be... her?"

"Isn't she the next Miko?!"

"What are you still doing in a daze? Let's hurry up and hold her down!"

Twelve Feathers Green saw those young girls jump up like cats whose ass was kicked suddenly, and rushed towards the corridor in a desperate posture, but they didn't dare to run, so they could only walk quickly, looking like It seems a little funny.

"Food! Bucket! Witch! Girl!"

Oni Wu Tsuji hadn't quite realized what Taki Wakaba said, but he saw the hideous faces of the girls who were traveling with him.

One of them snatched the clogs from Oni Wu Tsuji's hand, put them on the ground, and pressed Oni Wu Tsuji to put on his shoes; the other looked around, wishing to flee the scene immediately.

"We'll just leave your side for a short while, and you've done such a shameful thing!" The girls blushed, even though their hearts of shame had been repeatedly ravaged by Kimai Tsuji's actions, at this moment they still had The feeling of being stung by shame.

"Shame? Me?" Ghost Wuji Tsuji felt very displeased when his interest was ruined. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw the wooden box in his hand and showed a wicked expression, "Look, This is the Tang fruit given to me by Taki Shaogongsi, let me share it with you."

"This is! I know! The dim sum that can only be eaten in the Jingu Palace! And at least you have to be a young palace secretary to get it!"

"Amazing! How did you get it?!"

"Can I have it?"

"Have you thanked Taki Shaogongji well?"

The girls' attention was quickly diverted, and then they saw Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou opened the abyss mouth, poured all the snacks in the wooden box into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and began to chew, "But This was given to me by Taki Shaogongji, you only think that I will give you something good in your dreams."

Several girls showed unbelievable expressions, and they stayed there until Guiwu Tsuji Wuchan finished chewing the snacks.

Then, one of the girls began to cry loudly, "Woooo, my Tang Guozi, the Tang Guozi given to me by Taki Shaogongsi, woooo."

If it was just the delicious tang fruit that was eaten by Guiwu Tsuji, these girls would think it was acceptable.But this was given to them by the young palace secretary they had always admired and could only look up to. For them, who would be so excited to spend half an hour in the evening symposium even if they just had a few words with the high-level clergy on weekdays, this was a gift for them. What a heart-warming, precious and extraordinary Tang fruit!

As a result, the other girls couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You're not only an idiot, you're also a big villain!"

"Do you think we like to control you? We will take care of you if you get into trouble in the future! We will not come to save you!"

Onimai Tsuji Muyou shrugged, expressing his pleasure at their disappointed and tearful eyes.
