All the way to the door of the house, Yae Sakura was smiling, completely immersed in her beautiful fantasy.
She is not afraid, everything has a brother.
She can see the excellence of her elder brother, and she is someone she can absolutely rely on.
From then on, she no longer had to fall into the nightmare of witches presiding over sacrifices and killing innocent children with blood. Rin doesn't need to worry, he just needs to stay in the big city and let those doctors see him.
Brother's words... Brother is so powerful, even becoming the guard of the big city of Shinano Kingdom is easy, right
But is that too dangerous? I heard that there are many snack sellers in the big city, so can the rice balls she made be sold? Brother and Rin, don't you always praise the delicious rice balls
If I can earn enough living expenses, my brother doesn't have to take the risk of hunting monsters, as long as... as long as...
The smile on Yae Sakura's pretty face became brighter and brighter, and under the sunlight, her skin like creamy white jade even produced an unrealistic sense of illusion.
'It's good that Rin didn't cough. '
Put your little hand on the door panel and pull it hard.
"Rin!~"
The crisp and pleasant sound is so beautiful.
"swish"
The sliding door style door is pulled aside.
The smile on Yae Sakura's small face froze immediately.
The room was dim, and the shop where Rin was originally was stacked neatly, like tofu cubes.
There was no one in the room, even Sakura Fukiyuki, who had been placed by the shop next to Rin before, disappeared.
"Crack~"
Yae Sakura thought of many things in an instant, her eyes were dull, her little hands lost strength, and the small black cloth bag full of the three siblings' belongings fell to the ground with a soft sound.
"Rin..." Yae Sakura's voice trembled, her footsteps were as vain as a drunkard in the village.
"Rin? Where are you? Don't joke around with my sister, okay? We can play hide and seek..."
"Sakura, why are you here?"
The indifferent voice of the man behind interrupted Yae Sakura's fantasy: "The sacrifice has been advanced to this afternoon, and Rin has been taken to the altar. You should also prepare to leave and bring your sword."
The Lord Yae crossed his arms over his chest, and swept the small bag that fell to the ground without leaving a trace.
"Let's go, all the villagers are waiting for you at the castle tower."
Yae Sakura's petite body trembled slightly, she turned around stiffly, fear and bewilderment were revealed in her dull eyes.
It was as if every ounce of strength in his body had been drained.
"Normal rituals, no... aren't they all held in shrines? Why this time..."
"For the bloodline of the witch, it must be solemn." The Yae Lord still had the same indifferent tone, without the excitement, excitement or reluctance of other people's sacrifice of children. On the face that has not changed for thousands of years, there is an expression of "this is the case".
"Let's go, Rin can't wait too long. It is her honor to send her to serve the fox god. Even she is very happy herself, and she has made a contribution to the village."
Hearing this news was like a bolt from the blue.
Yae Sakura was at a loss, she didn't want to agree, she wanted to call out to her brother, but she was afraid that there would be a mistake on the priest's side, so she just went to hold it with an older senior...
"yes."
Yae Sakura nodded with difficulty, and left the shrine with Lord Yae.
At this time, Yaeji, who had just walked out of the warehouse on the side behind the temple, ran into Nozawa and Hiyoshimaru's younger sister.
This made him wonder, why did the two people who were usually out of touch with each other suddenly appear in front of him? It was still at the entrance of the shrine warehouse behind the temple.
"Hahahahaha, Master Ji." Nozawa hurried forward, his exaggerated laughter made Yae Ji even more puzzled.
"I heard that Master Ji went to explore the secrets in the canyon alone early this morning, so he didn't tell me about it, so I can take a few team members to meet him at the entrance of the canyon."
"We are all free in the afternoon. Master Ji, do you want to take us with you? We will definitely not hold you back, and we will just meet you at Taniguchi."
Yazhongji glanced at him suspiciously, "The source has been fixed. If there are no accidents, there will be no monsters around the village in a short time. Everyone can rest assured to leave the village and go to the big city to buy supplies."
"Ah!" Nozawa was startled, "That's really good news."
Nozawa's eyeballs calmly glanced at the women's clothing Hiyoshi Maru, and kept gesturing to her.
Hiyoshimaru's whining voice sounded, he didn't care about the blood and mud on Yaeji's body at all, and gently pulled up his small hand, Hiyoshimaru was embarrassed to find that his hands were much thicker than Yaeji's.
Even the colors don't quite match up.
Hiyoshimaru comforts himself that he is a boy, but Yaeji is actually a girl...
"Master Ji~"
Yachongji shuddered at the whine, and pulled his hand from the girl he didn't know very well.
"Oh, Master Ji, since he came back from victory, he naturally wants to celebrate. Why don't we go take a bath first, our little sisters have already... "
"Yes, yes!" Nozawa smiled extraordinarily honestly, and echoed from the side.
Yaeji has no expression on his face, but he knows who Nozawa is. Despite his simple and honest appearance, he is actually quite scheming and knows how to manage his identity. When he was digging a well, he was still a small member of the patrol team. Through contact with him, he was gradually promoted to a small team leader and an elite member.
After the death of the patrol captain and several other elites, Yaeji heard that this person took over the patrol temporarily. The speed of promotion is simply beyond the imagination of other patrol members.
As for Hiyoshi Maru's younger sister, the more he looked at her, the more awkward she became.
The two twisted back and forth in front of him like demons and ghosts.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."
Vocabulary popped up in his mind, and with Yaeji's accumulation, he could barely understand the meaning of these words and sentences.
He didn't pay attention to it just now, but now it seems...
Nozawa's actions and tone were exaggerated, as if he was performing carefully, but unexpectedly he was nervous and made a mess of the whole drama.
The sweat oozing from the forehead and the tip of the nose, the glances in the eyes... all looked like a failed theater clown in a big city.
The direction Nozawa is looking at is... the castle tower!
A trace of uneasiness arose in Yazhongji's heart. He was very anxious when he came, and he was so bold that he took Sakura with him and dared to take a small path down the back mountain.
Thinking about it carefully, when passing by the house, she didn't even hear Rin's cough.
And the exaggerated and funny acting skills of these two people, as well as the faint posture of surrounding him, seemed to be delaying time.
Could it be...
"Step aside!"
Yaeji pulled out his palm, and cut across the two of them.
"Stop Master Ji!"
Nozawa's exaggerated acting skills disappeared, and he yelled!
In the blink of an eye, several shadows flashed from the meeting hall and other side halls.
All are members of the patrol.
"Snapped!"
The calf exerts force, and the Shunpo technique is used to the extreme!
Yazhongji soared into the sky, like a sharp arrow flying, leaping onto the roof in an instant.
From this angle, he could clearly see the houses on the side of the shrine.
The small black cloth bag fell to the ground, and it was dark in the wide open door.
But Yaeji can be sure that there is absolutely no one inside!
Look down in a blink of an eye.
The expressions of several patrol members froze.
They have never seen such eyes.
Even in the ferocious wolf demon, they have never seen such a killing intent.
