"Brother, what happened?"
Seeing Yaeji's complexion was not good, Yae Sakura asked cautiously from the side.
"No, Sakura, you go to bed early today, my father asked me to take you to the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow."
"The sacrificial ceremony?" The well-behaved Yae Sakura, who was kneeling on the floor, frowned slightly: "But I heard that Brother Daisuke and Sister Ryo have already... what's the matter, offering sacrifices to the gods , shouldn’t she be a pure daughter?”
"I don't know either." Yaeji shook his head, but he didn't think Daisuke was lying. It is also impossible for the village to determine another pure girl to be sacrificed in such a short period of time. The trick here is probably due to the old woman who checks whether 'Liang' is a virgin.
On the other side, Yae Rin caressed the back of Sakura Fukixue's knife, and placed the entire spirit knife on the wooden stand.
In the hands of Yae Rin, this peerless beauty did not show her sharpness at all, but instead stimulated the faint cherry light on the knife, making it even more gorgeous.
There was a slight sense of anticipation in Rin's eyes, and his little hand was gently holding the handle of the knife made of special materials.
Not as cold as the blade, but there was no reaction either. The disappointment in his eyes was well concealed, Rin's little hand moved, as if he wanted to forcibly lift Sakura Fubuki on the knife holder.
Probably because of her too weak body, Sakura Fukiyuki on the knife rest did not move at all.
Yaeji saw Sakura's gaze looking at Sakura Fukixue from time to time, so he smiled and said: "If you want to try it, go try it, it's just for you to see."
Sakura's petite body trembled slightly, her knees moved slightly, and she calmed down again in a blink of an eye: "That... is it really okay to take the enshrined spirit knife out of the temple? Brother... won't be punished by my father. punish?"
Yaeji recalled the scene of himself holding Sakura Fubuki and releasing the 'Rondo', and said with a smile: "If nothing else happens, I am the master of this generation of Sakura Fuki, and it is not a problem not to take Sakura Fubuki out of the shrine in normal times."
"Wow! My brother is amazing!"
Just when Yaeji raised her head to accept Sakura's compliment, Xiao Nizi ran towards Sakura Fuyuki who was emitting a faint cherry color without even turning her head!
"Well... ... "
Yaeji was speechless, she never thought that her younger sister, who had been raised for so many years, would be abducted by a knife.
"Sister, can you try to pick it up." Rin's voice was full of expectation.
"Um."
The petite Sakura was also very excited, and took a non-standard horse stance, holding the handle of the knife tightly with her two small hands.
"Hey~"
The sakura light on Sakura Fukixue's body was getting stronger, and the blade was shaking slightly.
"Sister, how do you feel? Do you feel that you have become a powerful and outstanding witch?"
Rin was very excited, but Yae Sakura replied with difficulty: "I feel it is so heavy, and, moreover, I can't seem to control it!"
Yae Ji, who was sitting in the distance, raised his eyebrows lightly, stood up and wanted to go forward to help his sister.
"Hey! Hey! I, why can't I control it!"
There was even a hint of crying in Yae Sakura's immature voice, "It, it is running with me!"
Yae Sakura held Sakura Fubuki's wrist tightly, the sakura color was shining brightly, and the whole spirit knife trembled slightly, as if she was directing Yae Sakura to do something.
Slash with a knife!
"not good!"
Yaeji immediately pulled out the sharpened sword from the sheath, and instantly performed the sixth stage of Luoying Zhan.
Flash!
The cherry-colored sword light brought up collided with the wave of swords issued by Sakura Fubuki!
"Boom!"
Successfully counteracting the 'round dance' issued by Sakura Fukixue, Yae Ji himself was having a hard time, the sword in his hand was still groaning softly, making Yae Ji's hands numb from the shock.
"Kangdang~"
Fortunately, this blow also successfully knocked Sakura Fubuki out of Yae Sakura's hands.
Yaeji breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the sword directly on the ground.
Among the three brothers and sisters of the Yae family, apart from Rin who is born weak, Yae Sakura is the strongest one in terms of swordsmanship talent. He Yaeji only relied on some strange things in the dream to greatly increase his strength, thus gaining the recognition of Sakura Fukixue.
But Sakura is different, Yae Sakura picked up Sakura Fubuki for the first time, and that spirit knife actually led her to perform Sakura Slash!
This is something unheard of!
However, with Yae Sakura's current physique, using Sakura Fubuki to forcibly swing the Sakura Slash, not to mention how much harm it would cause to the surrounding environment, she alone would have to stay out of bed for several days.
Yaeji ran to Sakura's side, held Sakura's little hand that was flushed red from the shock, and comforted him, "Does it hurt?"
Yae Sakura shook her head, but her eyes were shining brightly.
"Yeah... sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay~" Yaeji hugged Sakura and whispered comfort.
Seeing that Sakura's mood gradually stabilized, Yae Ji went to comfort the frightened Rin again. Rin has been sitting in the bunk, and the distance between Sakura and her is also the closest.
"Don't be afraid, brother is here."
"Um... ... "
Yaeji kissed Rin's forehead, gently let her lie flat, and then covered her with a quilt.
"Have a good dream."
...
Yaeji sent Sakura Fukixue back to the shrine where she was enshrined, and the two little lolis no longer wanted to see Sakura Fukixue.
Early the next morning.
Yaeji put on a layer of black clothes outside, and Yae Sakura put on the costume of a candidate priestess.
Yaeji put the fox mask distributed in the shrine on one side, and only put it on his face when the ceremony officially started.
Glancing at her not-so-interested sister, she didn't know whether she was brooding over what happened yesterday, or whether she was disturbed by the depression brought about by the sacrificial ceremony.
The palm of the hand rested on Sakura's thin shoulders, and patted gently.
Sakura raised her head and looked at Yae Ji.
"elder brother?"
"After the matter is over, I will start training your physical fitness. When your physical fitness catches up, you can try to control Sakura Fubuki."
"Really?" Sakura was excited at first, then lowered her head and said in frustration: "I can't control it at all, I will never be as good as my brother, I..."
"What are you thinking? Little fool?"
Just as he was about to extend his sinful hands to Sakura's little head, Yaeji realized that today is the day to sacrifice to the gods, and Sakura can't be allowed to go to the sacrifice with the head of a chicken nest, otherwise, the older generation of villagers should say this A generation of Yae don't know etiquette...
"You have to know, compared to a man like me, Sakura Fubuki is obviously more inclined to a girl like Sakura."
"Obviously it has recognized the elder brother as the master."
"How can a witch not be worthy of a spiritual sword? Sakura will become a shrine maiden in the future. I remember who said yesterday that she will surpass me and become the maiden who protects everyone?"
"I... I said it." Sakura's small face flushed slightly, and her shyness made her a little less confident.
"That's right, brother will rely on Sakura to protect him from now on!"
"yes!"
Yae Sakura couldn't help but put her two clenched fists on her chest, as if to cheer herself up.
As for what Yaeji said, she didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Miko is destined to protect one side.
