The moon is above the treetops. Strangely, the big tree facing the entrance of the shrine is slightly shorter than the other trees, as if it was cut off directly with a sharp weapon. Many villagers have suggested planting a new one to avoid affecting the shrine.
of majesty.
Inside the shrine, in the side room where the Yae clan members live, Yae Rin, who was always the earliest to sleep, was tossing and turning, looking back and forth with his big eyes from time to time.
Yae Sakura's shop was adjacent to hers, while Yae Ji, her elder brother, slept on the other side of the house.
"Sister~"
Yae Rin called softly and moved gently, as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
Yae Sakura opened her eyes and looked at her sister. Sakura, who had been practicing for half a month, had a sharp look in her originally soft eyes.
As if she was frightened, Yae Rin leaned back slightly and was grabbed by Yae Sakura's little hand.
Yae Rin patted her chest, lay down and squeezed onto Yae Sakura's bed.
"Sister~"
"Why don't you go to bed so late?"
"My sister didn't sleep either~"
Yae Rin suddenly pulled the thin quilt and covered the two people's heads.
"Sister, what do you think about sister Hiyoshimaru?"
Yae Sakura's eyes changed slightly. At such a young age, she still couldn't hide all her thoughts.
"Everything is decided by Father."
"Eh?" Yae Rin pulled Sakura's sleeves, "Didn't my sister say that she would become a miko and serve the gods for a period of time before marrying her brother?"
"Like Katori Aso, Ishida Sakai Eguchi and the others in the village, aren't they...all brothers and sisters together?" At the end of the sentence, Yae Rin's face turned slightly red.
"Katori? Aso?" Yae Sakura recalled carefully. She couldn't even remember so many people. How could Rin, who had hardly ever left the shrine gate, know so much?
Sensing the questioning look in her sister's eyes, Rin whispered: "I heard from the adults in the village who came to worship the gods. Some newcomers also came to the shrine to worship the gods, and they even talked to me."
"What did you say?"
"Well..." Rin's eyes dodge, and the temperature of her pretty face rises slightly.
"He, they said that if there are men and women in the Yae Clan today, they usually combine and become husband and wife to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the next generation, and this will not cause discomfort to the gods."
Yae Sakura's little face was also slightly red. Apparently, she had heard of this rumor a long time ago.
"So," Rin poked her sister, "What exactly do you think?"
"Me? I don't have any ideas. It's all up to my father." Sakura spoke very fast, almost finishing the sentence in the blink of an eye. Then she pulled off the quilt, turned over again, and stopped paying attention to Yae Rin.
"Sister, I am in poor health. It is still unknown whether I will be able to give birth to a healthy child. My father will definitely not allow it. On the contrary, my sister, who is so good, will definitely become a shrine maiden serving the gods. You must know that your father and mother...
....”
Yae Ji, who was sleeping on the other side of the house, suddenly turned over. Yae Rin was too frightened to speak anymore. He just stayed in his bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
the other side.
Two words popped into Yaeji's mind again:
"German Orthopedics" "British Court"
‘Brothers and sisters are not allowed to marry in another world? It’s really strange, even those big lord families do this.’
"baffling."
Yae Ji whispered in a low voice that he cared more about getting water resources than love and whether the well he dug could save the village.
Yaeji fell asleep again with his obsession with water resources.
In this dream, he dreamed of a kind of artillery shell that can artificially rain-rain-enhancing rockets!
Early the next morning, Yaeji, who had bags under his eyes, was in poor spirits. After hastily cleaning up, he was ready to continue exploring where to dig a well.
The rain-increasing rockets in other worlds are not realistic for him. Yae Ji has doubts. All other worlds have mastered the technique of turning their hands into clouds and rain, so don't they control the power of gods? No wonder they
Such a casual attitude towards gods.
"It will be great when Yae Village can be like them." In Yae Ji's mind, rain bombs and well digging alternated back and forth.
As a pragmatist, he still chose the relatively ancient method of digging wells in another world.
That night, Yaeji, who finally explored Yae Village, determined the location to dig the well. He chose a place with the most abundant royal grass as the site.
At dinner, he told his father what he thought.
"Father, plants like Royal Baicao cannot survive without water resources, so there must be groundwater under the Royal Baicao."
"Underground water?" The Lord Yae heard such a novel term for the first time, and nodded, which seemed to agree with Yaeji's statement.
Yaeji was overjoyed and continued: "I plan to dig a well in the place where the grass grows most luxuriantly to solve the villagers' water problem. But... I don't know if the gods will allow us to do this.
."
Lord Yae narrowed his eyes and said: "There is currently no shrine maiden in the shrine who can communicate with the gods. Tomorrow you will take Sakura with you. We will pray to the gods for seven days. If no accidents occur, we can start your plan again."
Yaeji opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
"yes."
"It's getting late, go back and rest. Sakura's training tomorrow morning will be suspended for seven days."
After Yaeji left, Lord Yaeji was still sitting quietly in one place.
He couldn't understand this child more and more.
The last time a monster appeared in the back mountain, he had sent people to check it out. Except for a trace of dried blood that proved it, he could not find any evidence of the existence of the monster that his son said was released from the evil box.
Lord Yae stood up and walked towards the deep room.
On the innermost wall hangs a miko costume composed of three colors: white, red and black. There are signs of being torn on one side of the costume, and a lot of brown blood stains remain on it.
The eyes of the usually indifferent Lord Yae revealed a trace of attachment, and his palms gently touched the corner of his clothing.
"It would be nice if you were still here."
...
Seven days later, Yaeji, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't wait to gather people. Using the young men in the patrol as a standard, and with the help of the blacksmith and carpenter in the village, he made tools that could dig wells.
Working every morning and evening, the project progressed faster and faster.
What on earth is Master Ji going to do?
No one knew, even the "highly respected" old people in the village went to inquire, but failed to get any useful information.
"This Yae Ji has probably been guided by the gods. Only the previous generations of shrine maidens in the village can occasionally communicate with the Fox God. Yae Ji practiced Falling Sakura Slash and became this generation of shrine witches?" The old woman of the Hiyoshimaru family was puzzled. Others
Several others were equally puzzled and could only regard it as guidance from the gods and pay close attention to the "project progress" Master Ji mentioned every day.
One night, Yaeji tried to light up the "Prajna Heart" on the panel in his dream, and this time, his skill points finally were enough.
