"Makoto-kun, I heard that the weather will be warmer recently. Will the Tenjin Festival still be held?" Some people who are concerned about this matter asked Futaba Cheng. After all, everyone has prepared a lot of things.

"I will definitely do it." Futaba Cheng said.

"If you have Mr. Cheng, we can rest assured." The others smiled slightly.

After understanding the preparations of everyone in the commercial street, Futaba Makoto took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Suzuki Kaoru, and then went to the shrine again to inquire about the shrine's preparations.

Perhaps because of the accident he and Nana had a few days ago, Futaba Makoto saw a warning sign before going up the mountain——

[The road is dangerous in snow, please do not leave the stone steps.]

Futaba Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment and walked up the steps.

After arriving at the shrine, he unexpectedly saw Aunt Keiko.

"Good morning, Cheng-kun." In the morning, Keiko was wearing thick clothes and was cleaning the snow on the steps with a broom.

Perhaps it was because of what happened between Nana and him a few days ago that I could see some fatigue on Keiko's face in the morning.

"Good morning, Aunt Keiko."

"Are you feeling better? I heard that Nana has also been discharged from the hospital. I plan to go see her later." Keiko smiled in the morning.

"My body has almost recovered. It's all my fault for causing trouble to Nana." Futaba Cheng's tone was full of apology.

Keiko shook her head in the morning: "You can't blame you, after all, no one wants something like that to happen... Of course, if our shrine is bigger, we can afford to build more guardrails on the road up the mountain."

After saying that, her voice paused, as if she didn't want to mention this matter, "Cheng-kun, why did you come to the shrine so early?"

Futaba Cheng said:

"I'm here to check on the preparations for the Tenjin Festival."

"Ah, actually it has been cancelled."

"Eh?" Futaba Cheng looked surprised.

Morning Keiko held her face with one hand and said with a bit of trouble: "Your uncle Morning is in this situation, although you can replace the god... But Nana, as a shrine maiden, can't dance the sacrificial dance. In addition, this

It has been too cold for a few days, and some of the temporary witches we had discussed with us are not willing to come."

"So after thinking about it, dad decided to cancel it, although I'm sorry for everyone on Merrion Street."

When it comes to offering sacrifices, a large number of manpower is needed, so in addition to the regular shrine maidens like Nana Hayaka who are responsible for the offering, some girls invited from the society are actually needed to serve as temporary shrine maidens. They hardly participate in the offering, and more often they help sell the shrine.

peripheral products to increase income, or serve as tour guides for tourists.

"Aunt Keiko, is it true that we can't continue the event?"

"Makoto-kun, it will be winter in a while, and it will be impossible to hold the Tenjin Festival by then."

After thinking about it for a while, Futaba Makoto asked: "I can resolve the matter between Nana and the miko. In this way, can the Tenjin Festival be held smoothly?"

In the morning, Keiko was a little surprised: "Cheng-kun, Nana's face looks like this, she won't be willing to dance, right?"

"Although it is said that the child can wear a mask, I think her current mental state must not allow her to dance... let's forget it."

Futaba Cheng smiled: "Nana has come out, Aunt Keiko, please believe me."

Futaba Makoto's tone didn't sound like he was lying. After Keiko hesitated for two seconds, he continued to ask: "Where is the miko?"

"I have people there, and they are all very cute girls."

"...Is it really possible?" Keiko looked a little confused in the morning.

"Um."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it still won't work."

"Eh?"

After Keiko sighed in the morning, he showed a helpless smile: "Cheng-kun, you are not an outsider. Let me tell you the truth. The heavy snowfall a few days ago collapsed many buildings in the shrine. The renovation cost a lot of money. We

We can’t come up with the money to hold the Tenjin Festival at the moment.”

Futaba Cheng didn't know about this: "Can we discuss it with everyone on the street and prepare the money first?"

"It will be difficult to hold the Tenjin Festival this year. If the money we have prepared goes down the drain, we will be heartbroken," Keiko explained in the morning. "In previous years, we would first pay for the festival, and then rely on booth fees and

We can make a profit by selling the surrounding royal guards. Everyone has already paid the stall fee, so we can’t charge additional money.”

It is indeed very troublesome.

But for Futaba Makoto, this matter is not a problem.

"I'll pay for it." Futaba Cheng said.

Keiko was stunned in the morning, and then looked at Futaba Cheng seriously: "Cheng, I know that your grandfather left you a lot of money when he passed away, but you can't spend it randomly. You are still young, you can take this money

It would be better to raise a family or go out for a venture than to spend it here."

"It's not random spending, Aunt Keiko."

Futaba Cheng smiled: "Although everyone on the street is not related to me by blood, they are kinder to me than my relatives. When I had an accident a few days ago - a rescue team had already gone up the mountain, but they were still uneasy and spontaneously formed

The rescue team came to look for us, and some people even closed their shops and came to help."

"Grandpa always said that you don't have to be a good person, but you must be a grateful person, because when grandpa was young, he received help from many people."

"The Tenjin Festival has always been a festival that everyone looks forward to, and they have treated me like a family member since I was a kid, so I don't want to let them down."

Futaba Cheng said seriously, "I want to respond to everyone's expectations, Auntie Keiko!"

Futaba Makoto's words surprised Keiko Hayaka. From being reluctant to serve as acting god master at the beginning, to now saying such responsible words... This scene made Keiko Hayaka feel a little relieved.

When Futaba's mother passed away, she had always treated Futaba Makoto as half a son. Now in the morning, Keiko suddenly felt like her son had grown up.

"Mr. Cheng, this is not a small amount, are you sure?" Keiko asked in the morning, her tone softening, "And there is a high probability that this money will not be recovered."

"Well, at least I tried hard." Futaba Cheng smiled, "I won't regret it."

"There is still 3 million yen left to hold the Tenjin Festival. Although it is not much compared to the property your grandfather left you, the money cannot be spent randomly." Keiko said in the morning, "If you have decided, the Tenjin Festival will be held."

I will go and tell dad about it."

"It's okay now."

"Haha, you kid, don't be so anxious." Keiko's expression seemed to be much more relaxed in the morning, but there were still some things she hadn't let go of, one of which was Nana's face.

When Nana was in a fever and comatose in the morning, Keiko naturally went to visit her many times. On one side was her husband who broke his leg, and on the other was her disfigured daughter. This matter is extremely uncomfortable for any mother.

.

"What happened to Nana... I have a tenant who knows a very good doctor and seems to be able to recover." As if seeing Keiko's worries in the morning, Futaba Makoto suddenly said.

"real?"

"real."

"Then I can rest assured." Keiko smiled in the morning. Although she didn't know if it was true, at least it sounded much more comfortable.

At this time, Futaba Makoto seemed to have thought of something, and after saying "Wait for me," he ran to the corner of the shrine.

After a while, he ran back again with a small glass bottle in his hand.

There is light green potion flowing inside.

"What is this?" Keiko asked in the morning.

"This is also the medicine given by the doctor. I heard it can promote bone healing." Futaba Cheng said, "If you are willing to try it, Auntie."

This is naturally the 10% version of the healing mixture, also known as the watered-down potion.

The complete body's healing potion is so powerful that even a severely disfigured person like Nana can recover within a few seconds, so Futaba Makoto naturally wants to use it to help Uncle Morning... But considering taking out such a powerful potion directly

There will be problems, so Futaba Cheng chose to deal with it with water.

"Okay, I'll keep it first." Keiko didn't really believe in this so-called bone healing potion in the morning. After all, no matter how good the doctor was... the only way to speed up the recovery of bone injuries was to consume more calcium and protein.

.

So in her eyes, what Futaba Makoto gave her was just a bottle of nutritional supplements.

After a while, Futaba Makoto helped clean the snow in the shrine, fed the cats a packed meal, and then went back directly.

…

…

"That's what happened." In the living room of Xiaozhuang Xiongzhuang, Shuangye Cheng said with his hands clasped together.

At this time, several girls sitting in the living room looked at each other.

"Isn't it possible?" Seeing that no one spoke, Futaba Cheng asked.

Suzuki Kaoru, who had been holding his arms and saying nothing at this time, slowly said: "No, of course there is no problem, but you don't need to ask us so solemnly."

"You can always ask us to help with things like this."

Everyone came to Xiaoxiongzhuang for various reasons. In fact, helping Futaba Cheng with a small favor was really not a problem for them.

"As a miko, can I bring a bamboo sword?" Ninomiya asked.

"It should be no problem. Didn't you see that there are a lot of sword-wielding shrine maidens in the anime? They're quite handsome." Futaba Makoto gave a thumbs up. After all, the shrine is not big, so there aren't that many rules.
