After feeling a little restless, Natsuki Aoi also quietly put on his mask. Now he is used to wearing a mask when he goes out. Although it is natural to hate this kind of thing, everyone who hates him actually hates it for a reason Each one is different. Covering your face by yourself can at least avoid the contempt of those girls who hate your appearance. In a situation with so many people, it is still too eye-catching.

"Let's go up."

"Yes." Keiko Hayakawa nodded.

"Can you do it? Sakurajima." Aoi Natsuki knew that Sakurajima was the weakest, and she was not good at climbing mountains.

"If it's so high, it will take a certain amount of time." Sakurajima looked up at the stone steps with about a hundred knots, and said bluntly.

"It's okay, if you get tired halfway, I'll just carry you up." Long Ying smiled.

"Such a long stone step, still have to pay attention to safety." Hayakawa worried.

Long Ying shook her head: "It's really okay, the stone steps with such a distance are just a warm-up, and you won't feel tired after going back and forth three times."

"Oh..." Li Na, who was holding Long Ying's hand, exclaimed in a low voice when she heard this.

"Well, there should be no problem with Long Ying." Aoi Natsuki nodded, and then the group started climbing the mountain together.

The two little guys couldn't climb anymore in less than [-] knots. Long Ying and Aoi continued to go up the mountain with one on their backs, resting for a few minutes in the middle, and didn't reach the upper platform until the third departure. I found that there were quite a few people gathered here. Looking at the sign next to it, it was just a branch office. Natsuki Aoi looked up, and there seemed to be a main office at a higher place.

"Do you want to continue?" Hayakawa also felt that her legs were a little numb, and she probably couldn't walk for a while.

The state of Sakurajima on the side was even worse, panting heavily all the time, after all, climbing all the stone steps without any help was already quite remarkable.

Natsuki Aoi pursed her lips, a little hesitant. As the Seventh Five-Three Festival, the meaning must be the most important, but if it goes further...

At this moment, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled, looked down and found that it was Niya.

With her silver curly hair, she looks like an exquisite rag doll, with eyes inlaid like jewels, and a small cherry mouth slightly puffed up, and she said softly, "This is all right..."

Natsuki Aoi was startled, and looked at Lina again, who also nodded seriously at herself.

Aoi's heart warmed, he took a deep breath, respected the choice of the two children, and paid homage at this branch first.

In fact, looking around, there are very few families going up the upward stone steps. Most of them choose to stay here in the branch office. There are almost 40 to [-] people. In addition to wearing traditional kimonos, some people come in suits. This is during the Seven-Five-Three Festival It's also common.

A group of people lined up to visit the shrine, while the two little guys ran aside to play with the children of other families. Li Na was purely acquainted, and her inability to speak did not become her shortcoming. On the contrary, many families After the parents learned about her situation, they all showed concern in their eyes. When they came back, they had already returned with two or three Chitose candies in their hands.

Chitose candy is an exclusive candy for the Seventh Five-Three Festival. It is in the shape of a long cylinder and is packed in a bag with cranes and turtles that represent longevity. Life.

Natsuki Aoi saw that the candy was given by a child's mother. For his own reasons, he couldn't express his gratitude, but it would be too rude not to thank him. After all, he gave Chitose candy, which...

"Let me do it." Sakurajima Xing suddenly said beside her.

Aoi Natsuki turned his head and looked at her. From the gaze, he felt that the other party seemed to understand his difficulties. Thinking about it, she was the only one who had always noticed that she was disgusted by all the girls.

I don't know why, after hearing what she said, Natsuki Aoi felt relaxed for a moment, as if it was enough to just leave this matter to her.

Aoi Natsuki nodded.

And then Sakurajima beckoned to the two little guys, and Lina and Niya trotted over while eating Chitose candy. This action also attracted the eyes of the child's mother. Smiling, he bowed slightly towards her to express his gratitude. The other party was a little surprised at her appearance at first, but then bowed back.

That's all.

Natsuki Aoi let out a breath, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Keep queuing and it will be their turn soon.

Before arriving at the shrine, there was a huge wooden cash box for sesame oil in front of it. Aoi and the others prepared two [-]-yen coins each and threw them into the cash box.

It seemed a lot of fun to watch, Li Na's eyes lit up, and she kept shaking Aoi Natsuki's arm.

Natsuki Aoi naturally guessed this would happen, so he gave her a [-]-yen coin: "Throw it more accurately, and throw it towards the center. Do you want Niya to try it too?"

Turning his head to look at Niya, Niya's eyes were rarely brightened, and he hummed in a breathy voice, and then said: "I want..."

Aoi Natsuki also gave her a coin.

The two little guys stood on the left and the right. Because of their size, they both stood close to each other and stood on the steps. The two of them made a throwing action together in the next second, and saw that the two coins drew a nearly similar arc and flew in the air. After spinning a few times, it landed in the cash box. The crisp sound made Li Na even more excited, and she turned to look at Xia Shu.

"This is not a game." Natsuki Aoi poked her forehead with his right index finger, and said earnestly, "After throwing the coins, you have to pay homage to the gods, so that the gods will bless you in the future."

Li Na stared blankly, with confusion on her face, then took out the black pen she carried with her and wrote a series of words on the clipboard, showing it in front of Natsuki Aoi.

Natsuki Aoi looked at it and read it subconsciously: "Can you get the blessing of the gods for a hundred yen?"

this question.

The rest of the people couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard this, whether or not the child was very innocent, Long Ying stepped forward at this moment, bent down, stroked Lina's cheek tenderly, and said with a smile: "Well, yes Bless you, the gods often look at our intentions, as long as our intentions are sincere, it doesn't matter if we have more money or less."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lina nodded as if she had realized something, looked at the big house in front of her, and immediately became awed.

The air on the mountain is very fresh, and Natsuki Aoi feels that this breath is very comfortable. Although climbing the mountain is a bit tiring, it is also a good choice to exercise like this once in a while. His eyes then fell on the big rattle in front of the shrine. Thick long ropes tied with red silk hang down.

"You two just shake together."

"Then I'll hug Niya." Long Ying said.

Natsuki Aoi nodded, followed by him to pick up Lina, Longying picked up Niya, the two of them approached the long rope at the same time, they were at a loss for the first time, Natsuki Aoi reminded that just shaking the rope , The two also put their little hands on it, shook their heads lightly, and as the long rope swayed, the rattle on the top also made a dull sound. After a few rings, they put the two little guys down.

莉那微张着小嘴,都遗忘了写字,好奇地频频用手指着这根长绳。.欢;:迎."进?!入?【.,!希;儿";的:图:?书.'馆;:】:.7;4?.6?:.0,9:"4!0:7";6?

Aoi Natsuki was also a little difficult to explain for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "This should be something that the gods can hear."

After the worship was over, there were still people queuing up behind, and several people also left the line together, and went to the promenade to take a rest.

On the way, Niya suddenly took Aoi Natsuki's hand, he looked down and smiled warmly at her.

The next moment Niya curiously asked a question, which made Natsuki Aoi's face stiffen, who had been smiling slightly.

"Brother Xia Shu, are there really gods in this world?"

Aoi Natsuki fell silent immediately, and the image of a god girl appeared in her mind, she just called herself a god.

Aoi has always listened to the gods as a legend, so he subconsciously didn’t think of them when he came to the shrine, but now he suddenly thought of the girl of the gods, and his heart was shaken for a while. In this way, there are really gods in this world, and God seems to be omniscient, as long as He thinks, he can clearly know the true thoughts in your heart.

Counting the time, I haven't seen the god girl for more than four months. I only saw her three times before, and each time I showed up to help me. The mission she issued was not like a trial, and there was no punishment mechanism. , and often encouraged myself, thinking that the god girl is not a bad person, on the contrary, it may be the same as what she said, she has always spoiled herself.

He also put in a lot of effort to find the god girl, but in the end she found nothing. She said that she would become a girl he had met before, but during this year, he carefully analyzed every girl around him, but He ruled them out one by one, and even set his sights on Ji-chan. During that time, there was no progress in the level, and he became a little anxious for a while. After Ji-chan, he also considered Lina, but he still didn't think it was like it.

Until now, Hayakawa's specialty is not far from the total value of S rank. The mission given by the girl of the gods is about to be completed, but Aoi Natsuki herself is still a little unwilling, thinking that the guy will be elated when he reveals the truth His expression made him feel very uncomfortable inside, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was still too weak in the face of an all-knowing and omnipotent god, or she just wanted to show it off.

but……

Aoi Natsuki stared straight ahead, even so, he is still a qualified god.

He smiled again, turned to Niya and said, "Well, of course it exists, and I think it should be a good god."

After hearing this, Niya nodded in a daze, as if she just asked a casual question, and didn't ask any more.

"Does Xia Shu still believe in gods? I always thought you didn't believe it." Hayakawa said beside him.

"Just don't be too superstitious, after all, this is also a good omen." Aoi Natsuki glanced at Sakurajima from the corner of his eye. He was more worried that she would find something with her super insight, so he immediately explained.

Several people finally sat on a bench on the promenade. Long Ying made a suggestion at this time, saying that she would take the two children to the main shrine above. She still hoped that the two children would get a better life. It was an omen, Natsuki Aoi didn't think it was necessary at first, but when he thought of the girl of the gods, hard work seemed to be rewarded, then going to the main shrine became meaningful. He relaxed his legs, feeling that most of the pain had receded, and then While agreeing with Long Ying to go up with one on his back to have a look, Hayakawa and Sakurajima will stay here for a short rest, and they will come down soon.

"Let's go." Natsuki Aoi carried Lina on his back. When he thought of the expensive Kyoyuzen on her body, he carried it with extra care, for fear that the clothes would be wrinkled, and the compensation alone would be a sum of money. Huge amount.

Aoi and Long Ying went up the mountain with their two children on their backs. This time, the stairs to the main shrine were about [-] knots, so high that they couldn’t even see the end. It was completely unimaginable to build it so high. Would anyone really choose to climb it?Aoi Natsuki was tired after climbing fifty knots, Long Ying looked like a normal person.

"Are you okay? Or I'll go."

"I, I can still persist." Since Natsuki Aoi has made a decision, he must do it. I believe that Li Na also hopes that he can accompany her.

Meeting the eyes of Li Na behind him, he continued to move forward, rested a few times in the middle, and then went up to the main club with Long Ying behind him to support his back. Hongzhu rested for a long time before regaining some strength, and walked into the main club with the rest of the people. There were only one or two couples of families scattered here, and normal families would not be able to climb so high, and their physical strength was limited.

"There is tea supply there, let's drink some water." Long Ying pointed to a square table in the distance, on which were placed paper cups and a thermos bottle.

Natsuki Aoi looked around, the surrounding environment is very quiet, the layout of the main shrine seems to be very old, the handrails of the steps alone feel very historical, looking at it, a figure walked out from the entrance of the shrine, it is A young girl, Natsuki Aoi's eyes immediately fell on her white maiden costume.

Is she a shrine maiden...

Often only some relatively large-scale core shrines will have witches, but I didn't expect there to be here.

With a cold face, he was wearing wooden clogs, and he seemed to be holding a roll of bamboo books in his hand. He was about 1.6 meters five, and his figure was thin.

"If you want to pay homage, please sign on the table first." There was a heroic spirit in the voice.

Aoi Natsuki looked at the square table, there was indeed a brochure, and then he stepped forward, looked at it, and let out a bewildered surprise, because the price on the brochure was clearly marked with a price of [-] yen, he did not understand These are originally paid items...

Forget it, it's all here, let's arrange it first, the two little guys went straight to [-] yen.

The price is really expensive.

Natsuki Aoi signed the names of the two children. Just as he put down the pen, he turned around, but suddenly found that the young witch had come to him, looking straight at him with cold eyes, and he stood still. Standing motionless on the spot, the nose of the young witch suddenly arched. After sniffing, there was more doubt in the eyes of Aoi Natsuki, and the body moved a little closer. At this time, Aoi Natsuki noticed her. His pupils, like a ring, spread out in a circle, and his thin lips parted slightly, and he said slowly: "You have a very special smell..."

As soon as the words fell, Aoi Natsuki's eyes widened instantly. This sentence really scared him. He stared at the witch in front of him. Five seconds later, a string of favorability characters rose above her head.

"Tianyuan Yui, S rank, favorability: -14."

ps: In terms of the shape of the eyes, they are the same as the eyes of the heroine of the Dim Sum War. I will upload the picture later, and I have some insomnia these days. I will finish chasing the update of Old Chrysanthemum’s Elden Ring at night , Seeing the time is at this point again, okay, okay, good night.

Chapter 218 The Breath of the Gods

Another S-rank girl, no, the point is not here, Natsuki Aoi subconsciously associates the identity of the other party's maiden with the girl of the gods. Since the gods are real, does the shrine maiden really exist? What about special abilities?

Natsuki Aoi swallowed, and took a step back, and the young priestess named Yui Tengan moved her face forward again, and the confusion on her face intensified.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Long Ying's voice sounded from the side.

Tianyuan Yui looked sideways, and his cold gaze touched the smiling face of the other party. After two seconds of silence, he slowly straightened up, and looked at Natsuki Aoi again: "If you are ready, let's go into the shrine."

"Oh, oh..." Natsuki Aoi still saw the cold gaze of the witch, and kept staring at him. Even if he turned around and walked up the steps, with his back to her, he could still feel the gaze.

Walking into the shrine, there is also a monk inside. After seeing four people, he distributes kneeling futons one by one. The paid visit here is not just a simple worship. After all, the price of [-] yen per person, then However, there will be people who will come to pray and pray for blessings, which will last for a very long time, at least half an hour or more.

Niya and Lina were expecting something interesting inside, but the monk stood in front of him muttering something for a few minutes, and they also found it very boring, and when they were about to move, they were pulled away by Natsuki Aoi Stop, and use sign language to signal Lina to persevere. Seeing this, Lina puffed up her cheeks slightly, and finally she was willing to listen to Xia Shu, so she reached out and took Rania's hand, and the two little guys continued to insist.

After 10 minutes, the monk finished praying, and Natsuki Aoi felt the piercing vision coming from behind him again. After waiting for two seconds, as expected, the young witch passed by him on the left, and she was going to serve the two of them next. A child prays, during which there will be an exclusive dance and a tambourine that has never been seen before, at least it is much more interesting than the monk just now, and the whole process of nearly half an hour can finally be persisted to the end.

After the end, Natsuki Aoi felt that her legs were no longer her own. They were still sore at first, but now they are all numb. She turned her head and looked at Lina and Niya beside her. Change the sitting posture, sit directly on the futon with the buttocks, and spread the legs in a figure-eight shape.

"It's so uncomfortable..." Niya murmured tiredly.

Natsuki Aoi rallied, trying to regain control of her legs, moved towards Niya, touched her body, and the newly bought Chitose candy, and handed it to Niya: "Thank you, this is award."

"Candy...is it really okay?" Niya looked up at Natsuki Aoi, "My sister said that you can't eat too much candy at once in a day, or it will cause tooth decay."

Natsuki Aoi forced a smile on his face and said, "It's okay, today is a special day, eat it, Lena, you can eat too."

Lina and Niya took the candy, looked at each other immediately, and without thinking much, they unwrapped the package and ate the candy happily, with a smile on their face soon, Natsuki Aoi heaved a long sigh of relief, and looked at Long Ying on the side was just as he had imagined, as if nothing had happened, she still kept her sitting posture straight and upright.

As Long Ying slowly passed through adulthood, the intellectual beauty of women began to show more and more. Natsuki Aoi felt that Long Ying was really similar to her mother. He had met Long Ying's mother twice, and she was A typical rational and elegant woman, but Long Ying needs to be more playful and bold at this age, um... that's great.

He was fascinated by looking at Long Ying for a while, when he came back to his senses, he felt something blocking him from the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head to look, he was startled immediately, it turned out that it was the witch who made the arrogance to approach him For himself, the distance between the two of them was definitely not more than [-] centimeters when they were closest, and their noses were also arched, as if they were sniffing his scent.

It's definitely not like accidental, she really noticed something.

Natsuki Aoi thumped in his heart, and did not speak for a while.

The witch in front of her slowly opened her mouth: "That..."

"Is it over?" Long Ying asked suddenly.

This question also interrupted the Miko's question, and turned to look at her.

The entire shrine was quiet at this time. Seeing this, the monk who stood aside hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The blessing is over, you can take a short rest, and you can go down the mountain later."

"En." Long Ying nodded, and looked at Aoi Natsuki the next second, "Xia Shu, let's get up and move around."

Natsuki Aoi reacted, nodded again and again, supported the ground with both hands, and slowly got up with trembling feet. His eyes moved down, and at this moment he found that the witch was kneeling in front of him very formally just now. The tan pupils that are smudged like water lines look very strange, the face is still expressionless, the whole face is as pale as water, and the right hand is holding the tambourine, which should be some years old.

After he got up, he took the two children up one by the other, and then walked out of the shrine with Long Ying, and came to the courtyard outside. There are many trees planted here. When the wind blows, autumn yellow leaves will fall, and soon they will fall again. It's winter, and the wind has begun to be a little noisy.

"Xia Shu, do you know that girl?" Long Ying asked at this moment.

"No, this is the first time we've seen each other." Natsuki Aoi was a little absent-minded, watching the two children recover and started chasing and playing, his mood gradually calmed down, and he was discussing with Long Ying about going down the mountain. The young priestess standing inside took steady steps again, slowly walked down the steps, and came to him.

"Is there anything else?" Aoi Natsuki asked this time proactively.

Tianyuan Yui thought for a while, then took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to him: "This is my business card, please keep it."

"Eh?" Aoi Natsuki was stunned for a moment, obviously receiving such a modern business card in the shrine, she still felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, especially her serious expression, I have to say, it was a bit hit His jokes.

"Can I have your business card?"

"Uh, sorry, I'm still studying, and I don't have such a thing as a business card." Natsuki Aoi nodded to express his apology, but in fact he lied, because he had a business card because he was working on a design draft, but It's just that she didn't bring it with her, and even if she did, he wouldn't give her a business card. It's better not to have too much involvement with the people who work in the shrine.

"The phone number..."

"Anyway, if there is a problem! I will take the initiative to contact you. Thank you very much today, that's it." Aoi Natsuki stopped the conversation, smiled, called the two children, and walked towards the stone steps.

Only Tianyuan Yui stood there with a calm expression on her face. She didn't do anything else, but silently watched the man leave, and then her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly moved down.
