The smell is of course that of Kayoko's body wash.
Because Kamaba Yui was jealous for no reason, Aoi Keisuke smiled and told her the origin of the scent, and then made fun of her——
He actually competed with a primary school student.
Kamaba Yui blushed deeply, but still pouted and said loudly: "Ah~! Qinggui-kun, you hugged other miko, right?
It doesn’t matter to others, but I can only be a miko!”
When Qing Keisuke heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then patted her head and told her to quickly tidy up her clothes and hair and prepare to go to the festival.
The chief witch finally stopped, and the blush on her face lingered for a long time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the two finally left the room - the time wasted mainly because Kamabata pestered Keisuke Aoi to help her hold a few strands of hair.
The witch walked out dignifiedly and virtuously, with a smile on her face.
When walking into the forest, the two of them met Amagi Akane and Kayoko who were about to leave.
"Qing Guijun, is this what you are busy with?" she asked in surprise.
"yes."
Kamaba Yui's clothes had a different taste, and she asked what happened in an excited tone that was difficult for others to detect.
After they were separated from the two young ladies, Kamaba Yui firmly grasped Aoi Keisuke's sleeves, breathing heavily and turbidly, and asked him if he wanted to go into the depths of the forest with her.
Qing Keisuke flicked the shrine maiden's smooth forehead, sighed, and walked towards the main venue of the festival with his hands behind his back.
"Wait for me, Qinggui-kun!"
After Qing Keisuke's expression returned to normal, she tentatively asked if she wanted to go in.
"I originally wanted to take you in, but now I don't want to."
"Why?"
Although Kayoko is no longer around, Kamabata turns into a chirping sparrow when no one is around, sharing interesting things about the spiritual world with Aoi Keisuke.
Among them is the long-standing feud between Shuangtianliu and Woshiliu.
"Mr. Yi Zi Whale was the only swordsman genius in Neon at that time. Old Mr. Gancheng was two rounds older than him, but he was defeated by the then unknown Mr. Yi Zi Whale in a battle. In the end, it was Mr. Yi Zi Whale who took the lead in becoming a swordsman.
, combining the strengths of each family to create 'Woshiliu'."
"Looking forward to seeing you." Qing Keisuke said calmly.
Kamaba Yui recalled the scene of Aoi Keisuke wielding the Tyrant Sword, and suddenly realized that Aoi Keisuke also possessed extraordinary swordsmanship.
Such swordsmanship...
She couldn't describe it, but compared to Qing Keisuke's current age, it was definitely something shocking.
When walking to the main venue of the festival, Kamabata Yui finally finished talking about the previous generation's dispute between the two schools.
There were already many people in the venue, some gathered around the bonfire in the center, while most of the dignitaries were sitting under the trees. There were low tables and cushions prepared by the shrine in advance, which provided a better place for viewing.
The arrival of Yui Kamaba caused quite a commotion. Many people came over to say hello to her. Aoi Keisuke saw a middle-aged man wearing the costumes of ancient princes and nobles, with two majestic beards on his face.
The reason why I noticed him was because he also had a sword on his waist, with two words written on the hilt——
The man was also looking at him, but quickly looked away.
"Chief Shenban, are you hosting the ceremony today?"
"No, today's festival has nothing to do with the gods. Others will come. I'm just here to participate like everyone else."
She pulled Qing Keisuke's sleeve, held his arm, and introduced Qing Keisuke to others - although she claimed that the relationship between the two was "friends".
But just looking at Qing Keisuke's face, it makes people feel that they are more than just friends.
In such an occasion, Kamaba Yui's actions were actually a bit rude, but the calmness on their faces diluted that feeling very well.
After dealing with troublesome interpersonal relationships, Kamaba Yui led Qing Keisuke to sit down at an empty low table.
Behind the two of them was a common broad-leaved tree, and the scent of grass could be faintly smelled under the tree. Kamaba Yui smiled and took the wine bottle on the low table, filled the bottle for Keisuke Aoi himself, and said at the same time: "You will feel it.
Are you bored, Qinggui-kun?"
"Fortunately, it's not something worth paying attention to."
Qing Keisuke noticed that there were several locust trees not far away, which were decorated with white locust flowers and exuded a light and elegant fragrance.
The wine the two drank at this time can be regarded as the "sacred wine" brewed by the shrine. During celebrations at many shrines, it will be distributed to the worshipers.
The festival was getting better, and witches and priests in strange clothes came out of the deep forest and danced around the fire.
The elves hiding in the mountains and forests also joined the grand carnival, opening their hearts to contact the visitors, sending their blessings, or choosing to stop here.
Kamaba Yui looked at this scene and told Keisuke Aoi: "Every time I see this scene, it feels like a person is communicating with this forest."
This magnificent scene cannot be seen every year, and it requires careful cultivation by the shrine to achieve it.
"What are you communicating about?" Qing Keisuke asked.
"Life...something like that?" Kamaba Yui tilted her head slightly and said uncertainly.
"These people probably didn't come here with such a simple purpose, right?" Qing Keisuke said with a smile.
"Qinggui-kun, don't delve into other people's thoughts like this."
Kamaba Yui poured more wine for him and said with a smile: "It's enough to give people such a feeling. Just like many times, people don't think deeply about the truth in the photos."
Qing Keisuke nodded, admitting that what she said made sense.
During this period, a maid came over and brought dishes to go with the wine. One plate was high-end vegetable dishes, with flowers and seasonal vegetables made into several layers of jelly, and the other plate was dried fish with a unique flavor and chewy texture.
The programs at the main venue continued one after another until late at night. The bonfires and night lights were gradually extinguished, and the moonlight became conspicuous, mixed with the cool mountain breeze, indicating that the festival was about to end - the elves would also return to the mountains and forests.
In the end, only a few people can obtain the elves, otherwise the palace would not be so generous.
Someone had been secretly observing Keisuke Aoi before, thinking that Yui Kamabata would use a secret method to capture one for him, but it turned out that the two of them were really just enjoying the moon and drinking wine seriously.
But because of this, some people have a little contempt for Qing Keisuke's identity and qualifications.
Fortunately, the Demon King is completely indifferent to their opinions and gazes.
Among the people leaving, some people were showing off the blessings they had received and lamenting that they seemed to have become a year younger.
The noisy human voices disturbed the sleeping tired birds, and bursts of birdsong and fluttering of wings could be heard from the branches.
Keisuke Aoi and Yui Kamaba did not take the mountain trail, but strolled into the forest, heading towards the deep black.
"Where are you going, Qinggui-kun?"
"go home."
"Um……"
Kamaba Yui whispered: "It's so late, how about staying at the shrine?
There are hot springs on the mountain, which can relieve the coldness of the mountain breeze."
"spa?"
"Yes~"
Simply because of the hot springs, the Demon King chose to stay overnight.
