Chapter 99: Amulet made by the priest himself
It took them about twenty minutes to climb the steps to the shrine halfway up the mountain.
Tsuna watched as the scarlet torii gate lost its daytime brightness in the night, and stood at the entrance of the shrine with only a dark red outline. The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the wooden structure, casting tiny spots of light.
The chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the deep forest gradually fade away with distance.
It seemed that the staff of the shrine took into consideration that there would be people coming to visit at night, and specially lit up the stone lanterns on both sides of the shrine.
The warm yellow light spread across the mossy stone steps, creating a light-dark contrast with the dark areas not illuminated by the lanterns.
In this scenario, the distance between the two people is much closer than usual.
"Are you guys here to watch the fireworks too?"
"!!"
Suddenly, a crisp female voice startled Tsuna. Next to him, Nozomi was still looking at him in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly shook.
Tsuna was startled by the sudden appearance of the third party's voice at first, but he quickly reacted and looked towards the source of the voice speechlessly:
"Don't you think you'll scare people to death if you suddenly speak like this?"
When Glass saw Tsuna suddenly talking to the left front, she followed his gaze.
What comes into view is a young woman wearing a white wedding dress on the upper body and a crimson long skirt on the lower body, which forms a sharp and harmonious contrast with the white dress.
A wide belt is tied around the waist to tightly connect the top and hakama.
"Haha... Sorry, sorry, I saw someone coming up, so I asked out of curiosity." The woman saw the little boy rolling his eyes at her, and hurriedly chuckled and apologized repeatedly.
But Tsuna didn't see any guilt on her face or apology in her words, and he even vaguely felt that she seemed a little relieved that she had successfully scared people?
"Sister, are you the shrine maiden of this shrine?" Glass looked at her outfit and asked curiously.
The woman opened her arms and turned around towards the two men, her lips curled up slightly. "Don't I look like a shrine maiden in this dress?"
Tsuna immediately recognized that this was the shrine's exclusive miko costume, but he was still a little confused: "Doesn't this shrine close for nighttime worship? Why are you still here?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Tsuna suddenly understood, but he was still not sure, so he added, "Could it be that the shrine chief specially arranged for you to be here considering that some people might come up to visit during the nearby fireworks festival?"
"You're really smart. You got half of what you said right. It's a pity that I'm not your homeroom teacher, so I can't give you a reward."
When the witch heard the little boy say this, she became angry, but her expression did not change at all.
Tsuna noticed that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but he could still sense a hint of gnashing of teeth in her tone.
At this time, the witch walked slowly in front of the two of them, and there was a crisp sound and a slight friction sound when she walked.
When she got closer, Tsuna noticed that she was wearing white cloth socks and a pair of wooden clogs, and her hakama, a shrine maiden's uniform, had pleated design that hung from the waist to the ankles, and the pleats swayed gently when she walked.
"Hey, hey, hey, kid.
"You're staring at her feet even though your girlfriend is right next to you. Aren't you afraid of getting spanked by her?" The witch approached, chuckling and joking.
Tsuna retracted his observation and silently retorted, "Who was staring at your feet? I was looking at the source of the two different sounds." He rolled his eyes at her. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I won't refute that girlfriend." The miko curled her lips, paused, and then added, "Precocious brat."
"No, no, no, she's not my girlfriend yet!" Upon hearing this, Glass raised her hands and shook them violently, retorting shyly.
"I think I know why the chief priest kept you here until night." Tsuna complained lightly.
But the witch completely ignored his words. Instead, she held her right hand with her left hand, touched her chin with her right hand, and looked at the hearing aid on Glass's right ear. Finally, she unconsciously muttered silently: "No wonder it scared only one person."
"You really did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"I didn't say anything, how did you know?" The witch took her eyes off Glass's hearing aid and looked at him in disbelief.
But before he could explain, she instantly understood what was going on and chuckled, adding, "Haha... just now you were staring at my feet, and now you're staring at my mouth, you pervert."
As she finished speaking, she stretched out her left index finger to poke his forehead, but he dodged it.
Because of her last words, Tsuna, who was originally a little angry, was cleverly diverted from the topic and attention by her.
"Tsunayoshi is not that kind of person." Before Tsunayoshi could explain, Nozomi spoke first.
The miko simply nodded, not wanting to continue teasing them. She changed the subject, "So, you came to the shrine to ask for a special amulet for this year's fireworks festival, didn't you?"
Tsuna didn't understand why she suddenly changed the subject, but after hearing her sales pitch, he simply refused, "No, I don't have any such plans at all. Don't even think about it."
I have absolutely no interest in those Japanese amulets and charms. I feel that the talismans I draw with black dog blood are more reassuring.
"Tsk!" The witch caught a glimpse of disgust in his eyes and smacked her lips softly.
"Is there any difference between the special amulets used in fireworks festivals and normal ones?" Glass asked curiously, ignoring Tsuna's direct rejection.
Upon hearing this, the witch immediately felt that there was something interesting. Her expression changed instantly and she began to explain carefully to Glass:
"Yes, yes, yes! This amulet is limited edition, and it's only sold at the shrine during the fireworks festival at night. During the day, you can only buy the regular amulet.
The point! Here comes the point! The point is that this amulet was made by the chief priest himself! "
Hearing her say this, Glass suddenly became interested: "Can you show us one first?"
She should know that most of the amulets in ordinary shrines are processed in factories, then purchased by the shrines and sold, and are far less sincere than those made by hand.
And I heard from her that this amulet was made by the priest himself, so I had to take a look.
"No problem!" The shrine maiden agreed without thinking, then took out a square red amulet from the hidden pocket of her shirt and handed it to Glass.
"Pfft..." Tsuna leaned over to take a look and almost couldn't hold it in. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this amulet made by the chief priest himself?"
Only the word "peace" on the amulet was legible, but it was just barely legible. As for some of the accompanying patterns, I had no idea what they were.
If you find any typos, please remember to kick me. The same goes for toxic points and grammatical errors. I will correct them immediately when I see them.
Thanks to the "AAA梦皆缘" boss for the reward!!!
