Stray Chapter 232: Gods and monsters

"Oh, yes, and Yukinoshita-san, let's go too!"

Xia Ran looked at the girl, extended her hand very enthusiastically, and issued an invitation to go with her.

"...Do you think I might agree to this kind of request?" Yukinoshita frowned and looked at the girl Feng Zhu who was still beside her, but she didn't have any vicious tongue, but restrained it very well. Own.

"It's not a request, it's just a suggestion." Xia Ran wondered.

"Is this the point? You won't forget what else we have to do, right?" Yukinoshita asked calmly.

"Huh? Reading club? Do you want to continue?"

“…”

“…”

"Okay...or so, I'll go to Moriya Shrine and come back as soon as possible, Yukishita-san, you wait here for a while?" Xia Ran coughed, as if she thought about it seriously, and then proposed Such a compromise proposal.

The black long and straight girl sighed, she no longer wanted to talk to this guy too much, and her mood at the moment was also very subtle, probably thinking that these two people may really have suffered from the second disease, not something else what reason.

Yukinoshita also had a little understanding of this aspect, but she didn't think that someone could actually communicate through poisonous radio waves, and they could say two lines in each other's lines, and they were able to speak in a clear and serious manner.

Things that are obviously not available can be nonsense... In a sense, this is absolutely impossible for her to do, and of course she will not admire such a person because of it.

The girl is about to wave her hands expressionlessly, and let this unbelievable guy disappear from her eyes as soon as possible, so as not to look angry.

However, the arm just raised a distance of less than one centimeter, and Yukinoshita seemed to think of something, and turned to Xia Ran thoughtfully - this person must be to make himself refuse, alone You went to that Moriya Shrine, did you take the initiative to invite them?

So, just a second later, the girl smiled beautifully: "Since you invited me so sincerely, I will accompany you for the time being."

Xia Ran's expression froze slightly. There was something wrong with the script. He asked a little unwillingly: "Wait, Yukinoshita-kun, you don't want to be with Yubihama-kun..."

"It's okay, Yubihama-san hasn't replied to me yet. I can't just sit here and wait all the time, right? Besides, I'm waiting anyway, so it doesn't have to be confined to this restaurant."

Yukinoshita shook her head, indicating that this wasn't a problem at all.

"That is to say, Yukishita-san should also go with us. Maybe Kanako-sama and the others will give protection. This is an opportunity not to be missed..." Dongfengya Sanae said with a smile, feeling like He is trying his best to teach.

——Is the blessing of the gods?

Xia Ran hesitated a little and looked at Yukinoshita, but the girl gave him a tit-for-tat smile, as if she could fully see his small thoughts.

"Okay, then let's go together..." In the end, he could only sigh so lightly, and glanced at the two demon artifacts in his inventory at the same time.

……

……

The location where Moriya Shrine is located is not too far from the city center, but in the area close to the city center, it can still occupy such a large piece of land...

Well, it can only be said that it is rich and powerful. Other than that, Xia Ran had no other thoughts.

Dongfenggu Sanae led the way, and was talking with Yukinoshita Yukino at the same time——

After all, it is said that both of them are girls, and they happen to be the same age, so naturally there are a lot of topics... and the former has a docile and simple personality, and belongs to the kind of girl who is easy to get along with. Although the latter seems to be It's cold, but in fact it won't really reject people thousands of miles away.

So when Dongfenggu Sanae took the initiative to chat, Yukinoshita didn't really adhere to the principle of not saying a word despite her indifferent expression, and as long as she opened her mouth to answer, things would follow naturally. .

Dongfenggu Sanae is very interested in Yukinoshita, and wants to inquire more about Xia Ran from the latter. And Yukinoshita is also curious about Dongfenggu Sanae's blessing, not only about the life of the priestess, but also about how she met someone, and she has always been sidetracking.

Xia Ran doesn't really understand what a girl's friendship is all about, but as he watched and listened from behind, he somehow had the urge to roll his eyes.

Because these two talents are really not on the same channel at all, it's just that both sides are fighting wits and courage with the air, but neither of them have the consciousness to hit the air with their own fists, so he doesn't know what to say something good.

No matter if Dongfenggu Sanae is asking or answering questions, Yukinoshita Yukino often thinks that she is a late-stage middle-aged and second-stage disease patient and can no longer communicate normally. She is talking about "gods" and "very knowledgeable". The surreal factor of this kind gave her a headache, and she could neither answer nor agree.

And the other way around? Dongfenggu Sanae also thought that Yukino Yukino was very tight-lipped and would not reveal anything. Once he asked too directly, he would only shake his head and sigh bitterly in a troubled manner. However, the Miko-san didn't feel depressed because of this, but instead more excited.

After all, in the past, all the people around her were ordinary people. Even if Dongfenggu Sanae really wanted to find someone to talk about this matter, it was impossible.

——Although the two gods are not ordinary people, she does not want to talk to them about their troubles in this regard, just like children do not want to communicate with their parents and parents about the troubles of adolescence.

As it is now, being able to find a girl of the same age who can listen to her talk about these things is already a development that has never been thought of before.

So the blue-and-white sorceress didn't care, and instead spoke more vigorously... However, this also brought more trouble to Yukinoshita's shoes.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Xia Ran thinks that there may have been a misunderstanding before. When Dongfenggu Sanae just found her, she carefully asked about Yukinoshita.

Now that I think about it, she is probably trying to determine whether the black long straight girl is in the circle, or someone who understands the field of non-knowledge.

But Xia Ran made a mistake at the time, thinking that the girl Feng Zhu was also asking questions about the seniors and juniors, so she directly said that Yukinoshita was the same as him, not a senior or a junior, everyone I'm a classmate...

Dongfenggu Sanae probably misunderstood. Although she could see that Yukishita-san had no special abilities, she felt that she at least understood the inside story.

It turned out to be the way it is now. After Xia Ran had roughly sorted out the context of the whole thing, she couldn't help shaking her head, but she didn't mean to go forward to explain, it was too late anyway.

"We're here, Xia Ran and Yukinoshita, do you want to visit first?"

The voice of Dongfenggu Sanae brought Xia Ran's thoughts back to reality. He looked up at the shrine in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly. If ordinary people visit, they can only feel that this shrine is very grand and has a feeling, as if just walking into it will naturally calm down, and there will be no distractions.

However, he was keenly aware of some kind of thick and mysterious atmosphere that filled it, as if the history had settled down.

—Solemn and solemn.

—Holy majesty.

Ordinary people will be affected even if they don't notice it, just like the ancient people who suddenly entered the magnificent imperial palace, they will naturally behave cautiously and dare not take any offense.

"Since I've come to the shrine, naturally I still have to pay a visit..." Yukinoshita nodded, thinking that it would be better to pay a visit.

"I don't have an opinion, but... I haven't been to a shrine before. May I ask what is the way to worship?" Xia Ran raised her arm as if she had a problem with a primary school student.

"It's really strange, there's Xia Ran, you don't know what to do?" Yukinoshita looked at him strangely.

"I know, I know, but I've only read the information. I haven't actually operated it. I don't know if it will be a joke..." Xia Ran was very calm.

"Then do it with me, just like when I taught Yubihama-san to make biscuits, you can do what I do..." Yukinoshita's mouth was slightly upturned, and she didn't know what she was thinking. It seemed that her mood suddenly improved.

Xia Ran naturally has nothing to do. The two walked to the pool in front of the shrine one after the other. They used a long wooden spoon to clean their hands. Then they used the right hand to hold the spoon. Dip his mouth.

After finishing, hold the spoon upright with the mouth of the spoon facing you, let the remaining water flow away from the handle, and finally put the long wooden spoon back in place... After completing this step, Yukinoshita was suspicious. He stared at the young man beside him.

Xia Ran did follow her step by step, but his eyesight was too strong, his memory was too good, and his imitation reaction speed was too fast, so that he felt that he was completely synchronized with Yukinoshita's movements. .

There is no comparison and then imitating steps, which naturally makes the girl doubt what he just said.

Then, led by the smiling blue-and-white priestess on the side, the two walked to the shrine with the ridge of the roof tilted to both sides to worship the temple, bowed, then vigorously rang the bell, and put the donation into the donation box with wooden strips Coins, two ceremonies, two clapping and one salute, and then make a sincere wish.

During this process, Xia Ran was struggling with what wish he wanted to make. Although he didn't think the wish would really come true, there was a troublesome problem—

During this process, the gods can hear the wishes of the worshippers.

He who has been proficient in occultism knows very well that this is not a forced mind reading, but a occult phenomenon constructed by the nature of the gods and the behavior of the worshippers.

Because it is a wish, you must let the wishing object know your wish. Even if you want to take a taxi, you need to tell the driver of your destination... It is impossible to say that you want the gods to realize your wish, and at the same time I also feel that this wish is my own personal **, and I can't let the gods know it, right?

Therefore, the process of praying to the gods is naturally a one-sided confidant, and the gods can listen to it as a matter of course.

But it's not a problem to keep stalemate, after all, I still have to find a wish to deal with it.

After thinking about it quickly, Xia Ran remembered what happened to Mephala at the beginning, and simply made a wish to continue to gain "wisdom" - if two gods in the real world can continue to teach him, That is of course the best.

"You're a really interesting person, should I say you're too bold or too free and easy?"

A crisp voice sounded behind her, Xia Ran froze in her heart, turned her head subconsciously, and saw a little girl not far behind her.

She is dressed in a blue and white outfit, with white knee-high socks on her feet, short blond neck-length hair, and a special city-girl hat with two eyeballs on her head...on the surface Going up is a very cute little luoli.

"This little girl is..." Yukinoshita was startled by the voice that appeared behind her without warning, but then her brows stretched out, looking at Dongfenggu Sanae to ask, But Xia Ran grabbed her arm all of a sudden.

"Ahem, Yukinoshita classmate, this is not a little girl, but one of the gods enshrined in this shrine..."

I was worried that the girl's words would be rude, but Xia Ran lowered her voice and explained it quickly.

"Xia Ran, you've already arrived here, can you stop using the script you just wrote?" Yukinoshita stroked his forehead and sighed.

"Lord Suwako! Why did you come out directly?" At this time, the blue and white witch also reacted and walked forward quickly.

"It's okay, mainly because a troublesome guest came to the door..."

Little Luoli named Suwako shook her head and said calmly, then she turned to look at Xia Ran with a strange expression——

"I'm not talking about you, but a big troublesome monster... I don't really want to waste time with her, so I let Kanako deal with it, and I'll come out first."

"Big monster..." Xia Ran didn't feel relieved because of this, but her expression became even more bizarre.

Yukinoshita just looked helpless and rubbed her temples. What the **** is going on with these people? Have they rehearsed before? Or did you check the lines in advance?

"Don't be so ruthless, Suwako, we're not wasting your time, we're here to find a way out for you..." A sweet and soft voice sounded, and everyone turned to look subconsciously.

On the open space on the side, a black like a crescent moon appeared. Inside, strange blood-red eyes were staring at the outside world, and a beautiful blonde girl sat on the black crack.
