"By the way, there is also Daisuke's matter, have you figured it out?"
Nozawa frowned, "After investigation, Daisuke's father was killed by wild animals when he left the village when he was a child. A few years later, his mother also fell ill and died. He and Ryo were childhood sweethearts since childhood, and he only had two or three real friends. But we
I couldn't get anything out of their mouths, and I didn't find any clues, so I sent two people to keep an eye on them."
"It's also possible that Daisuke secretly watched the well digging."
"Well, you must inform me if there is any news. And you must keep an eye on that well."
"yes!"
The little figure outside the side hall heard the two people's discussion end and hurriedly hid behind the large barrel that usually held the grain pile.
The sky was gray, and Nozawa was walking in such a hurry that he didn't realize that there was a petite person hiding behind the grain barrels.
As Nozawa left, Yaeji's thoughts surged. It was true that Daisuke was better than him, but in terms of combat power, it was a joke. After the sacrifice, he ran out of the village and got a relatively fresh front leg of a low-level monster from outside. This
For Daisuke before, this was something that was simply impossible to accomplish.
Carrying something in the middle of the night, he sneaked up to the well? What was he carrying? He could already get the monster's front legs, so there shouldn't be a big problem with the monster's blood or the like.
If so
Yae Ji returned to the house. Rin had been in poor health recently and had already gone to bed. Sakura, dressed in a substitute miko costume, was sitting on her knees beside her, as if she had known he was coming.
"Brother, I failed to communicate with the Fox God."
"It's okay, take your time."
Yae Ji came to Sakura and rubbed his beautiful pink hair with his hands, "Prepare a candidate miko costume for me tomorrow, and I will also go to worship the fox god."
Wearing a witch costume to worship the Fox God is a test. Just like the father and son went to the temple to pray for seven days. As long as no disaster occurs during these seven days, it means that the Fox God acquiesces to this behavior.
Waiting for Yae Ji to worship, if a disaster strikes within seven days, Yae Ji can only choose to sacrifice. The candidates who can be sacrificed are definitely not Sakura or Rin!
Otherwise, he would take Sakura and Rin to live in the big city and let those people fend for themselves!
Do they really think that the patrol team can protect one side? Yaeji, who has been hunting monsters with the patrol team these days, has also seen the upper limit of the patrol team.
Once a very powerful monster comes, they can't resist it at all and can only rely on the shrine maidens in the village to protect them.
After Yaeji made up his mind, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he dreamed of that magical other world again. Human beings in the other world were mortals and controlled their destiny. They could control thunder and rain and seemed to be omnipotent.
There are even more powerful weapons that can move mountains and burn seas!
The gods of that era were just a belief and did not have any extraordinary power.
Also, if human beings can control "supernormal power" themselves, why do they need the gods? Offer sacrifices to them? Wouldn't that be crazy!
Yaeji is full of yearning for this.
In the early morning, when the sky was still bright, Yaeji got up and took a bath.
Yesterday, Yae Sakura took out a suitable candidate miko uniform to dry, so that today it would be just right for Yae Ji to wear it.
After finishing his bath, Yaeji first went to the side hall where the spiritual sword was enshrined. Then he returned to the house and looked at the miko uniform that Sakura had prepared for him. The corners of his eyes still twitched unnaturally.
He sighed. Anyway, this was not the first time he had worn it. When his mother was still a child, she had worn a small miko uniform for him more than once.
First, there is a black lining, which extends to the neck. It is similar to a turtleneck sweater from another world, but more like an assassin's mask. When you pull it up, it can cover half of your face.
Yae Ji honestly put on a black lining with a weird lining, retaining the high collar but not extending it in any way on his arms.
Next is a pure white top, which is also very similar to a vest, except that the front of this "vest" is staggered, giving a very comfortable aesthetic feeling. The shoulder blades and even the huge opening in front of the neck are covered with black inner
The lining hides well without revealing any trace of skin.
Next is a dark cherry-colored short skirt with purple lines dividing it into a grid shape.
Yae Ji lifted it up neatly.
Seeing this, Sakura stepped forward, took out a wide corset made of red material, and tied it around the skirt and lining. Then, she took out a wide black and white rope and tied it to the waist, and pulled it back.
Tie a big bow at the back of the waist.
Then, there are two white stockings that reach above the knees, with red smudged lines on the top.
Yaeji had no objection to this. He had heard that this thing was originally worn by men and seemed to have a warming effect.
"etc!"
Sakura, who was standing in front of Yaeji, was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, brother?"
Yaeji touched the fabric of the white stockings and hesitated: "Would it be too hot to wear these today? And there is this black lining." Yaeji tugged at his collar again, "Just now,
I felt a stifling heat."
Unexpectedly, Sakura, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly straightened up:
"Brother, you are praying to the Fox God, so you must dress more formally. After praying, even if you take off your clothes and run wild in the courtyard, no one will ask you."
Yae Ji looked embarrassed and pulled the stockings from Sakura's hands, "Okay, okay, I understand, can't I wear them?"
A pair of over-the-knee white socks tightly wrapped his legs, making Yaeji particularly uncomfortable. He was used to wearing loose clothes, but these were too tight and uncomfortable at all.
Yae Ji tugged at the white socks, and the white socks bounced back onto the tender white skin of his legs with a "pop" sound.
"Brother, the candidate miko uniform and even the miko uniform are definitely the best fabrics that the village can provide."
Yaeji rolled his eyes, "Okay, what else?"
"And there are sleeves."
Yae Ji looked at the two relatively loose long strips of cloth handed over by Sakura, and couldn't help complaining: "This is unnecessary, it would be better to just let the upper lining extend to the arms."
"Nii-sama," Yae Sakura said seriously, "their materials are different."
He had already put on the leg socks, and the loose sleeves were even more trivial. Three times, five divided by two, Yae Ji tightened the straps at the wrists of the sleeves.
Yae Sakura blinked and said with a smile: "Brother, are the alternate miko clothes comfortable?"
Yae Ji felt the smoothness caused by the silky fabric of the sleeves rubbing against his skin, and unexpectedly it felt quite good.
Yaeji nodded, "It's very practical, and it's very neat to fight. It would be better if the stockings could be removed. I still doubt its practicality. This thing should be worn in winter to keep warm."
"It's very comfortable~" Yae Sakura stepped forward and hugged Yae Ji, "You will get used to it after a while."
Her little nose twitched, and a faint scent of cherry blossoms drifted into her nostrils.
"Brother, are you going to the side hall where the spiritual sword is enshrined again?"
"Well, I went there after taking a bath. It feels more peaceful to take a look at it."
"By the way." Yaeji suddenly asked: "Do you know who designed the candidate miko uniform?"
"Yeah" Sakura frowned and thought hard, unsure:
"It should be the Fox God, right?"
