Chapter 63 Met a Wild Beautiful Girl

 There is actually nothing interesting to see inside the shrine, so you can only look at the architecture and the shrine maidens.

The so-called shrine maiden is one of the priests in the shrine, responsible for taking care of the shrine and serving the gods. She often wears white clothes and scarlet hakama, white socks and red straw sandals.

In the courtyard from the torii gate to the main shrine, you can see several women dressed as witches holding brooms and cleaning the house, or holding unknown objects and making some movements that Aonto cannot understand in the air in front of them.

.

Shrines usually only become lively and fun during certain special festivals, such as New Year's Day and Bon Festival.

During these special festivals, there will be many programs to watch, such as shrine maidens holding kagura bells, taiko drums and other equipment to dance to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.

Normally, when you come to the shrine, you can only look at the buildings, watch the witches sweeping and mopping the floor, and then go to the shrine to throw incense money, pray for blessings, and make wishes.

Qingdeng has no interest at all in the so-called "making a wish before God".

After taking in the buildings and scenery inside the shrine, Qingto turned his eyes behind him——

"Saito, do you want to wander around the shrine for a while longer?"

Saito's response was not surprising: he shook his head without thinking.

Seeing Saito shaking his head and feeling tired of visiting this place, Aoto planned to leave the shrine and visit other places in Fujisawa-ryu.

There is still a short period of time before it gets dark, and Ainoto can still go sightseeing in Fujisawa Lodge for a while.

Just when Aoto was about to turn around and leave Eshima Shrine——

Bang!

"ah!"

A dull sound of flesh colliding and a high-pitched scream exploded from in front of Qingdeng at the same time.

Qingto, who was attracted by the strange noise, subconsciously raised his head and looked forward - he saw a young miko around 20 years old, holding a broom, lying on the ground at the source of the two strange noises.

, and a man in a brown cloak stood in front of the witch.

This man in a brown cloak is wearing a cloak with a very wide hood.

This person had his hood pulled up, and the wide hood covered her entire face, while the equally wide cloak covered his figure.

His face and body were covered, making it impossible to recognize his appearance, gender, and age.

The only thing that can be clearly identified is the height - according to Qingdeng's visual inspection, this person's height should be around 1.65 meters.

It's the middle of winter now, so wearing a cloak and pulling a hood is not unusual for this season.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts...!" The miko who fell to the ground covered her right shoulder, and the corners of her mouth were twisted in pain.

"...Sorry, I walked too fast and bumped into you, please forgive me."

The cloaked man apologized to the miko in a hoarse voice that sounded like there was phlegm stuck in his throat, then stretched out his hand to the miko and pulled her up from the ground.

After pulling the miko up and apologizing to her, the cloaked man turned around and ran, spreading his legs and running towards the outside of the shrine in a hurry.

Looking at the cloaked man who had gone away, the miko continued to rub her right shoulder while cursing:

"Really, we are rushing to Santuchuan... Why are we running so fast... Hiss..."

Recalling the scene he had just seen and listening to the curse words uttered by the miko, Qingto could roughly guess what happened.

Most likely, the cloaked man walked too fast and accidentally knocked down the witch.

It was just a trivial thing that was very common on weekdays and not worth paying too much attention to, so Qingdeng didn't pay much attention to it and simply watched the excitement for a while before leaving.

After leaving the shrine directly and arriving at the lively street vendor area outside the torii gate, Aoto raised his head and looked at the current sky.

——It won’t get dark until half an hour... It’s not too long, not too short... Let’s go shopping at the market in Fujisawa-juku...

Apart from the market in Fujisawa-juku, Aoto couldn't think of any other place where he could spend his time.

Although he knew that asking Saito for his opinion would be in vain, out of respect for Saito, Qingto still asked Saito if there was anywhere he wanted to go.

And Saito, as always, gave a very "topic terminator" answer: It doesn't matter where you go.

——Then let’s go to the market in Fujisawa-juku...

Qingdeng put his hands on his hips and looked left and right, looking for any passers-by who looked idle and could give him directions.

But at this moment——

"Ah, Miss Wu! I want to eat that!"

"Glutinous rice dumplings...good! Which one do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat the three skewers that are all red!"

"Do you want to eat 3 skewers? Can you eat it?"

A group of dialogues composed of two beautiful female voices came into Qingdeng's ears suddenly from the side and behind of Qingdeng.

After hearing this conversation, Qingdeng was suddenly stunned.

Not because the content of this conversation is so eye-catching.

It was because the voice of one of the people in this conversation sounded familiar to Qingden...

Qingdeng followed the voice and slowly turned his gaze...

A familiar figure that he had just seen a few days ago caught Qingdeng's eyes.

——Miss Kinoshita...?

The familiar figure that caught Qingto's eyes was none other than Mai Kinoshita, whom he had not seen for several days.

Kinoshita Mai was still wearing the bright red kimono that matched her perfectly, with a pair of white socks and red straw sandals on her feet.

Compared with a few days ago, the only difference between Kinoshita Mai and her body is that her hairstyle has changed.

A few days ago, when Aoto met Mai Kinoshita by chance on the street, her hairstyle was the very popular Shimada bun.

But now, she just casually tied her waist-length blue hair into a high ponytail.

The change in hairstyle makes Kinoshita Mai’s temperament slightly different.

Kinoshita Mai wearing a Shimada bun gives off a quiet atmosphere.

Now, Mai Kinoshita, who has changed her hairstyle to a high ponytail, looks a little more energetic.

In the stall area of ​​Fujisawa Suejima Shrine, I met Kinoshita Mai by chance. Although Aoto was surprised, this incident did not have a big impact on Aoto.

Because Qingzheng knew very well - a few days ago, Kinoshita Mai told him that she was going to meet a friend of hers at Fujisawa-juku.

At this moment, Kinoshita Mai was standing in front of a snack stall.

I saw her right hand holding a rather petite little girl.

He is approximately 1.4 meters tall and wears a completely opposite color outfit to Kinoshita Mai.

The main color of Kinoshita Mai's kimono is bright red.

The main color of the kimono on this girl is sky blue.

Not only are the colors of the clothes opposite, but the colors of the shoes on the feet are also opposite. Kinoshita Mai’s straw sandals have red buttons, while the girl’s straw sandals have blue buttons.

The girl's head was covered with a cold-proof headscarf that completely covered her hair, and her face was covered with a dark red tengu mask that covered her entire face.

The only exposed skin on the girl's body was her neck and two palms.

Her skin is extremely fair, but it is not that sickly white or unnatural white.

The sunlight shone on her skin, making her skin smoother, more delicate, and a little more transparent.

In addition to holding the girl in a sky blue kimono, Kinoshita Mai was also followed by a very tall woman, about 1.6 meters tall.

The woman wore a light yellow kimono, a scarf covering her hair, and a dark red tengu mask that covered her entire face.

Qingdeng noticed that this woman's skin, like that girl's, was very natural and beautiful, snow-white.

While talking to the girl she was holding, Kinoshita Mai showed a happy smile and cheerful expression that Aoto had never seen before.

There is no trace of the "girl who is afraid of things" that Qingdeng is so familiar with.

After deciding which glutinous rice dumplings to buy with the girl, Kinoshita Mai raised her head and looked at the owner of the snack stall - an uncle with such a high hairline that people thought he might look better with a shaved head.

"boss……"

Mai Kinoshita, who maintained her cheerful smile, began to negotiate with her boss.

As a result...she just had time to say the first syllable of "boss" when her expression began to change suddenly...

Qingden saw the smile on Mai Kinoshita's face disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he lowered his head slightly, pointing the hairpin on top of his head at the snack stall owner.

What replaced her smile just now was a look of embarrassment and nervousness...

“¥#@&(*¥%……”

Qingto couldn't hear what Kinoshita Mai was saying...

"Ah? Miss, what are you talking about?"

Not only did Qingto not hear clearly, but the boss, who was just a stone's throw away from Kinoshita Mai, also didn't hear clearly. He leaned one ear toward Kinoshita Mai with a puzzled look on his face.

The rather shy Mai Kinoshita that Aoto knew was "back"...
