14.

When Yumi opened her eyes again, it was about noon.

Sunlight pours through the windows and fills the room.She was bathed in the midday sun, only to feel that the warmth made her drowsy again.She subconsciously wanted to call Karna, but the moment she spoke, she remembered that Karna had disappeared.

Those experiences with him have indeed become memories.

She blinked, and suddenly belatedly realized that her face was covered with dried tears, and raised her hand to wipe her face indiscriminately, trying to forget the stupid thing she did just now—whether it was in the dream just now or earlier.However, someone seemed unwilling to let her go easily: "Ah, who does Xiao Xijian want to call? Could it be someone she likes?"

Then Yumi felt that he was shrouded in a large shadow.She looked a little embarrassed, but found that it was Kanako and Suwako, one on her left and one on her right, both with expressions on their faces.It was Kanako who answered her words. At this moment, this god of the mountain, who usually looked majestic, had a smile on his face as if watching a soap opera at eight o'clock.

"...Please don't make such jokes, Kanako-sama."

Yumi choked out a sentence weakly, but Suwako on the side also started to wink at her, probably meaning something like "I understand, I understand"...what the hell? !

"Speaking of which, Yumi can also be regarded as the child we watched growing up," Suwako said, "I can't help but worry about the important things in Yumi's life..."

"Do not……"

"Hmm, that's the end of the joke," Suwako restrained her expression, "Yumi, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Suwako getting serious, Yumi also quickly adjusted her mood.She thought about it, and picked out what she thought was the key point.When they heard the revival of the big snake, the expressions of the two gods looked a little dignified.

"Then, since it's such a dangerous thing, why does Tsukiyomi let you do it?"

This time it was Kanako who asked, and she obviously considered it from a different angle—perhaps because she is the god of Tianjin, she set her sights further and seemed to be closer to the essence.

"...I don't know." Xi Jian said frankly, after thinking about it, she added: "It is said that because of the decline of faith, gods cannot come to the world..."

"It's true," Kanako nodded, and looked at Suwako, "Like this guy, he hasn't been able to gain faith in the past few decades, and he might disappear tomorrow. But let you do it It still doesn’t feel like a normal decision.”

"Mother said I could use help..."

"The matter is over now, it's useless to discuss it here, but you, Yumi, what's on your mind?" Suwako interrupted Yumi's words, stretched out her hand and tapped on Yumi's chest.

"Why...?" Xi Jian panicked in her heart, subconsciously trying to get away with it.

"You too, Sanae too, your thoughts are written all over your face," Suwako shook her finger, pretending to be an elder despite her childish appearance, "Sure enough, I'm still a child. Elders need to worry more."

"...Since I can't hide it from you," Yumi sighed, "Actually, Suwako-sama, I want to know something about my memory, because I heard something like 'my memory is incomplete' before. Speaking, I am a little concerned."

"Ah, it's really troublesome," Suwako murmured after pondering for a while, "We can't solve this kind of thing."

"Yes, that's why I want to wait until I recover to ask Mitsu-sama... If I really can't get an answer, I'll go to Tsukiyomi Shrine to summon my father."

Suwako listened and nodded.

"Well, it's just right, you stay here for a while, and we will be leaving when we send you away."

She spoke very easily, and her tone was even a little cheerful and joyful.However, seeing and hearing it in the evening, it was like another bolt from the blue. The word "leave" brought back memories of Karna disappearing in front of her, and she stiffened, even her voice changed.

"Where are you leaving...?"

Suwako thought for a while, and answered her: "Because of the decline of faith, Kanako and I's power is gradually disappearing...so we found a place where we can continue to collect faith, it's a wonderful place, right? At that time, the shrine will also be moved there.”

"Then, Sanae also wants to be together..."

"Of course, Sanae is the Kazun of Moriya Shrine," Suwako said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Sanae should be very happy, after all, because of the reason that can cause miracles, that child has always felt that he cannot integrate into the peers around him , is also very distressing."

"This, that's it..."

Xi Jian's voice gradually lowered, turning into a murmur that she could barely hear herself.

The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. Maybe this is the case. After one parting, there will always be the next parting, and then little by little, I will lose everything about myself.If Sanae also leaves, is there anyone in this world who can understand her?

"Ah, you're here," the maiden from the Inari Shrine in Fuyuki City looked very happy when she arrived, "You are the Yumi sent by the head office...'Tomomi', that's how Chinese characters should be written... Then the work here will be entrusted to you, and the work of recruiting and training new witches will also trouble you."

——That's right, in the eyes of those shrine maidens, he is just a shrine maiden "Tomomi" with a passer-by face.People who really know the existence of "Yu Jian" will soon have none in "this world".

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door. Sanae shouted "It's so cold, it's so cold" and opened the door with a bang, bringing in a gust of cold wind.Amidst Suwako's scolding sound of "close the door, idiot", Sanae stuck out her tongue and closed the door, threw away her schoolbag and quickly got into the kotatsu.

"Wow...! Come back to life! Sure enough, the kotatsu is the best!"

Sanae squinted her eyes comfortably on the table, and reached for the manga on one side, but was slapped by Kanako.

"Finish homework first."

Being watched by the majestic God-sama, Sanae could only shrink her neck and take out the textbook, and secretly glanced at Yuyomi by the way.

"...If you really become a hero in another world, then you won't have any history homework. Damn it, I'm looking forward to it..."

Sanae was muttering like this, but Kanako's words came to her ears: "You worry too much, Sanae, in order for you to grow into a qualified Fuzhao, even if you really go to another world, I will always be there for you Make a training plan."

"Hey! Kanako-sama—?!!"

The noise here naturally also attracted Yumi's attention, and she secretly paid attention to this side, whether it was Sanae who pretended to howl in grief, or Kanako who deliberately put on a straight face, she even watched quietly. Their Suwako also has a smile on their faces, which is an inseparable bond between them as a "family".

...Suddenly I felt a little envious of Sanae.

Xi Jian's expression dimmed.

The friend I also cherish, that lively, confident, and sometimes silly girl, will always have a family who can accompany her and help her.Suwako-sama must also like her as a descendant very much. Although she always says things like "that kid Sanae always makes stupid mistakes" with a bit of disgust, she will still teach her as always.

Subtle and unfamiliar emotions were buzzing in my heart, I had never had such thoughts before, but now they overflowed as if a certain valve had been opened.I must also be loved, because I have the gift from my father, the blessing from my mother, and those happy memories, Xi Jian said to herself like this, but...

Those memories, happy and warm, talking with my mother and listening to her stories suddenly become unreal, like the food models seen through the glass window, bright and bright as if exuding fragrance, but if you look closely, you will Discover the seams at the edges of the model.And until the seam is discovered, the children who see the model will be immersed in this joy.

Want to know the truth.I want to know why "Xijian" was born and why it lives.

When she suddenly woke up from the dream-like false memories at this time, she found that she was facing endless emptiness.The patches that filled the gaps were ripped out, but the "blanks" were still "blanks".Which is to say, if those memories were really unreal, she'd figured it out, but she still didn't know what "real" was.

Later, Suwako once asked Yumi, if the "truth" he saw was indeed cruel, what should he do?

While asking this question, the young girl-like Kami watched Yumi silently.

Xi Jian blinked very calmly, and then answered the words almost without thinking: "Then we can only accept it."

"Don't be sad for the established things, this is learned from 'someone'," she said with a slight smile as if remembering something, but her eyes were softly sad, "maybe , I can remember everything I have learned from him forever."

"You have indeed grown up, Yumi," Suwako said to her in the end, "Ah, so if you don't work hard, you will be left behind. This kind of saying is applicable at any time."

Later, Yumi found Sanae and asked about leaving, and Sanae excitedly told her that it was a place called "Gensokyo".

"At that time, we will move our shrine and the lake next to it to the mountain over there, and then we will collect beliefs there. I heard that there are monsters and the like over there! Wow, it's like It's like a cartoon development!"

"Sounds like a suitable place for you, Sanae..."

"Yeah, it's a pity I can't bring Xi Jian with me..."

"I don't care," Yumi said with a smile, "I'll go back to Fuyuki City, and I'm also in charge of the Inari Shrine over there in name."

This decision was also made by her not long ago.

Go back to the place where the "change" took place, and summon Miyatsu-sama who might know the truth—or her cousin-sama.Presumably such a request would not be refused.

However, if you don't plan to return to Inari Taisha, there is no way to return the previous arrow.

Until boarding the train back to Fuyuki City, Yumi was still thinking about the scene of the Moriya Shrine that she saw with her own eyes before disappearing.

When the two gods joined forces to use their power, the sky and the earth seemed to vibrate, and an eye-like slit opened from the void, and the shrine, together with the surrounding land and lakes, twisted and rose into the slit.Sanae waved excitedly to her and shouted "goodbye", and then her shouts quickly dissipated, it was just a matter of a moment, when the gap closed, the place that should have been the Moriya Shrine is now completely flat .

Standing on the sidelines and watching the whole process, Xijian was unexpectedly not so shocked that she couldn't react. Maybe she didn't have the strength to react too much. She just glanced at the flat ground again and squeezed it tightly. She took the ticket that Sanae had bought for her before.

——I have to do my own thing.

The newspapers on the train reported the catastrophic events that happened in Fuyuki City some time ago, and at the same time gave suggestions that passengers should try not to set their destination there because Fuyuki Shinto is under reconstruction.Xijian picked up the newspaper and glanced at it in a hurry. The photo showed the ruins of the Civic Hall, which looked miserable and depressed.

Her finger unconsciously landed on the photo.

It was here that she said goodbye to Karna.

The things that have been experienced together flashed before her eyes one after another. Xijian turned over the newspaper and fastened it, but the memory did not let her go. She recalled the warm feeling, the warm and reassuring feeling. ,reliable……

……enough!

Xi Jian suddenly covered her face with her hands, slowly bent her body down, and pressed her forehead against the backrest of the front seat.

——I can remember it forever.

— There is no such thing.

——Is this missing?

——There is no such thing...!

When she got off the bus, she rushed to the platform quickly, and she roughly stuffed the newspaper back into the bag behind the seat.She kept walking forward with her head down, until she walked out of the train station, and finally habitually looked up at the sky.

The sky was eerily gloomy, and that eerie, ominous color made her frown.After that, she noticed that there seemed to be something mixed among the people hurrying around, but the barrier she had set up was broken when her spiritual power was exhausted for the first time, so even if she subconsciously wanted to investigate In vain.

what happened?

Things are confusing, but the most important thing now is to get back to the shrine first.

I stopped a taxi outside the station, and when Yumi got off at the gate of the shrine, she didn't dare to go in for a moment looking at the familiar gate.However, after hesitating outside for a long time, she finally took this step.

After stepping on the dead branches and fallen leaves all over the yard, Xijian walked to the door of the room where she lived in before.Taking a deep breath before the half-covered paper door, she pushed it open.

Nothing changed, everything was the same as it was before she and Karna left, there was even half a cup of ice-cold tea in the cup on the table.Xi Jian walked around the room, and suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength and knelt down in front of the table, only feeling blurred in front of her eyes.

Everything is still the same, but only myself is back.

She raised her head and looked at the door through the tears in her eyes, as if the door would be opened by someone again.

—Impossible.

Raising her hand and wiping her face casually with her cuff, Xijian stood up and walked towards the main hall.

——No, can, can, yes.

Kanako, Suwako, Sanae, and Karna have all left, and now there is only you.

She had already put on her clogs at the door, and now the sound of the clogs hitting the ground resounded again in the empty shrine courtyard.Step by step, she walked to the front of the main hall without saying a word, washed her hands with the water outside, then bowed twice and clapped once, kneeling respectfully in front of the fox statue in the center of the hall.

"... See you in the evening?"

It was as if a gentle female voice sounded from mid-air.

"Master Yu Yanjin," the girl kneeling there did not raise her head, her long hair hanging down to cover her face, "Although such a request may be unreasonable, please tell me about the 'past'."

Yu Yanjin was silent.

Indeed, "that adult" came to her specially before, and entrusted her with this matter.Although she knew a little about what happened back then, but...

Xi Jian couldn't see Xi Jian's expression through the eyes of the fox statue from Gaotianyuan, but logically the child would not think of it.If the child could ask such a question, it must have been provoked by something...or, the worse result.

... The hook jade that the adult gave her is incomplete.

The author has something to say:

Alright, let's applaud and see Moriya and the three leave the stage【

Here is the plot of Fengshenlu, and Sanae really became the brave man who saved the moon capital when it came to the legend of Konju (×)

The aura of the self-made Sanae of Konju Chuan is really full, and I don’t know what she has experienced from Fengshenlu to Konju Chuan hhhh

Gouyu still has other functions!No matter what people say, it is also a magic tool, and it is too inferior to be a lighter.

And, the foreshadowing is so cool wwwwwwwww The next chapter is about telling the story of the past, and some deeply pressed settings will almost appear, emmm, it is expected that there will be a lot of gossip... Let me warn you here down orz

After all, I can never imagine how crooked my brain will be in the next second (laughs)
