Xu Shenxing and Sakura Koji Asahi were walking on the path leading to Bailing Shrine on Bailing Mountain.
Sakurakoji Asahi, who was leading the way, looked back at Xu Shenxing several times, and seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up.
Seeing Sakura Koji Asahi who hesitated to speak, Xu Shenxing finally sighed, and finally asked aloud.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"That... I remember you told Mr. Xu Feng that you were going to sneak into the academy..."
"That's right, didn't we sneak in without being discovered?"
"No, no, that's not the case, is it?" Sakura Koji Asahi wanted to cry without tears: "Obviously you were spotted by the bodyguards of other students as soon as you approached the academy, and then you were noticed by the school's own security guards while knocking down those bodyguards. It's here, so you just knocked down all the guards of the academy before you climbed over the wall and came in!"
"... It doesn't matter if you don't get discovered by the students and teachers of the college! What's the difference between sneaking in without disturbing anyone and sneaking in after knocking down everyone who gets in the way!"
"So this is not called sneaking in!"
"It's okay, I've already let the spirit ghosts do amnesia (physical) treatment on those guys, even if they wake up, they won't remember anything!"
"That's not the point!... Well, but I'm just grateful for being able to see wrestling in the true sense."
"Well, it seems that I have to reflect on my infiltration method."
"Hey, why?!"
The two came to Bailing Shrine noisily.
Although it is a shrine, in fact, because Sakura Koji Asahi and the gods she originally served lived here, so apart from the rope-drawn bells outside, the money box and a little shrine inside, the interior of the shrine is full of life. —Xu Shenxing even saw the girl's underwear on a chair.
"What are you looking at!" The shy and angry girl hurried up to put away the underwear that was obviously too big for her.
"My lord is really... Things are always thrown around."
Sakurakoji Asahi complained while tidying up, trying to pretend she didn't care, but her expression became lonely.
Xu Shenxing, who didn't know how to comfort him, could only sigh helplessly.
He looked around, and found that probably because of the dust in the mountains, Sakurakoji had left the shrine for about a week, but there was already a lot of dust in the house.
There is no trace of being touched on the dust, which means that no one should have come in this week.
"Asahi, you deliberately didn't clean up the previous god's things, do you think she will come back?"
"..."
Sakurakoji's hands that were packing things stopped, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.
It seems that I guessed it right.
But unfortunately this is not possible.
Xu Shenxing once suffered a considerable mental shock because he accidentally ate (?) the fried rice made by the spirit ghosts, and because of this, he received the spiritual thoughts left by Yakumo Ming on Sakurakoji Asahi.
So he knew very well that Yakumo Ming was not missing, but completely disappeared: she gave back her own existence to Tsukiyomi Ming—and in the process seemed to affect an innocent ordinary person—in exchange for powerful divine power. To seal Asahi's body and the demon soul in the dry well, so that Sakurakoji Asahi can live a normal life, and at the end of his life, he made a wish to his successor, hoping that Sakurakoji Asahi can live happily in the future happiness.
Just like Sakurakoji Asahi's real mother.
"If you feel that you really can't accept the fact that the other party is no longer here, it doesn't matter if you keep those things." In the end Xu Shenxing still didn't tell Sakurakoji Asahi everything he knew: "My requirements for daily life conditions are not not tall."
In general, as long as there is salt and water, you can live.
"No, it's okay." The girl shook her head and forced herself to smile: "I also know that it's not okay to continue like this..."
Speaking of her, she packed up those things again.
It's just that this time, while she was cleaning up, she would also tell Xu Shenxing about the past of those things one by one.
"Master Ming made this worm pocket for me when I went out to catch stag beetles with Master Ming when I was a child, but Master Ming is not good at manual work and made ugly ones. I had a fight with her because of this, and it turned out The next day, Mr. Ming brought me a stag beetle early in the morning, and I found out later that she stayed up all night just to help me catch that beetle... "
"This cheap little bracelet with a cross was bought from the town when I watched a horror movie and was so scared that I couldn't sleep... She told me at that time that it was a treasure blessed by the gods of Gao Tianyuan. I don’t need to be afraid of anything, I still believe it foolishly, I always wear this on my body, and I didn’t take it off until I was twelve years old and ordered my adults to drink too much and tell the truth.”
"This fishing rod was ordered by adults to eat Ise lobster, but because the town is too far away, and the budget allocated by Yinyang Liao is not much, so I can only go to the beach to try fishing, although in the end I still can't I caught a lobster, but accidentally caught a sea bream, Master Ming said happily."
"This doll is my favorite prize when the original town at the foot of the mountain was about to be relocated. When the last temple fair was held, I ordered my lord to go to the shooting booth with me. I ended up spending all my pocket money and didn't get anything, but Master Ming quietly helped me knock down this doll, although I feel sorry for the stall owner, but I was really happy at that time."
"This bottle of sake was bought when Huanghua College was built around Bailing Mountain, because the Dazang Foundation agreed to let me go to school for free, and ordered my lord to buy it with the tuition fees I had saved, saying that I would keep it until I got married... Woo..."
The girl bit her lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall from her eyes.
"I think it might be better to cry at this time."
Xu Shenxing sat quietly and listened to the girl talking about the past between herself and the god who had disappeared, watching the girl's eyes gradually turn red, and the nasal sound in her voice became more and more thick. suggested.
"Master Ming said... the only place where a witch can cry is in the toilet and in the arms of God."
Asahi said in a low voice.
Xu Shenxing sighed again, and hugged the girl into his arms: "Then it doesn't matter, I am more or less a god now..."
"Is it okay to not be patient?"
"Well, of course."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
The girl's tears broke the embankment in Xu Shenxing's arms, and the tears wet Xu Shenxing's chest, but he didn't feel any discomfort, he just kept stroking the girl's head: "My lord, why did you leave me alone?" I miss you so much!"
Sakurakoji Asahi cried all morning, as if she wanted to vent out all the uneasiness and sadness suppressed in her heart.
