Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

It was Sister Qiong who saved her in Nanzhen back then, so there won't be any melodramatic plot twists.

I will have a great advantage in the future.

Little Lily rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, blinking her eyes repeatedly, seemingly unaware that her thoughts were somewhat inappropriate.

So, the only sound in the small room was Mai Shiranui's sobbing.

The fighter had great stamina, but after crying for a while, Mai Shiranui was also tired. Remembering what Chizuru Kagura had said while tugging at her sleeve, she looked up, sniffed, and then asked softly, "Saya, are you really not going to blame me?"

Shen Ye could never put on that kind of affectionate expression. If he could, he wouldn't have had to wait until he got the system to start having romantic luck. So he just nodded gently: "Of course not!"

It's just four simple words, and even with the punctuation after the tone mark, it barely counts as five words, but that's enough.

"Waaah! Xiaoye, you're so kind."

Mai Shiranui was so easy to coax in front of Shen Ye that she couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears. At the same time, she hugged Shen Ye even tighter, as if she wanted to meld him into one with her.

Then, she tilted her head back again, looked at the man who had been watching her, and lightly touched her lips with her toes, pressing her red lips to Shen Ye's lips.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't try to take advantage of this."

Seeing this, Kagura Chizuru, who thought she was so great, started to become petty. She was only generous to her older sister, and as for other women, the tsundere girl... or rather, the tsundere older sister, couldn't stand it.

"I want you to take care of it?"

Mai Shiranui didn't know any kissing skills either; her lips touched briefly before separating. Hearing Chizuru Kagura's words, she turned and glared at her.

Having just cried, she didn't have much of a threat; instead, she looked rather pitiful.

"Why can't I interfere? This is my home." Kagura Chizuru stood with her hands on her hips and legs spread apart, looking at Shiranui Mai. "Besides, Shen-kun is my future husband. Why can't I interfere?"

Now that things were out in the open, Chizuru Kagura stopped pretending and spoke frankly and openly.

"That's just your sister's wishful thinking. Xiaoye hasn't agreed yet!" Previously, when Kagura Manki exposed her past, Mai Shiranui's aura was suppressed to the extreme, but with Shen Ye's forgiveness, she regained her confidence.

"Also, is it really you who wants Xiaoye to be your husband, and not your sister, Miss Wan Gui, who wants Xiaoye to be her husband?"

Even the kindest woman can have bad intentions at times, let alone Mai Shiranui, who is a fighter who has experienced many battles. She is not a girl like Sayuri who is completely innocent.

Upon hearing Mai Shiranui's words, Kagura Maki blushed, but couldn't find the words to refute them.

After all, she had just mentioned changing her surname. Although it sounded like she was trying to provoke her younger sister, others could hear a different meaning in it.

At this moment, Kagura Maki was truly envious of her younger sister. Her sister could say it so openly, but she herself couldn't.

Besides, the older sister shouldn't compete with her younger sister.

Although... she had also considered that if her sister disagreed, it wouldn't be impossible for her to take her sister's place.

She had seriously considered Chizuru Kagura's previous suggestion...

He wants his younger sister to become a qualified shrine maiden so that he can have a normal romantic relationship.

But then, Kagura Maki gently shook her head, probably feeling that it would be too unfair to her sister.

“Shen Jun is the husband I specially chose for my sister.”

She spoke earnestly to Mai Shiranui.

She then added, "My sister has already completed her bridal preparations. As long as Shen Jun agrees, we can get married tomorrow. Changing her surname is fine too."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Ye, her slightly resentful eyes carrying a questioning tone.

It has nothing to do with my surname, but marriage... let's forget about it!

Shen Ye scratched his head in a bit of a predicament. At this moment, Mai Shiranui had already let go of him, but she still hugged one of his arms.

His action caused the four women in the small room to change their expressions simultaneously.

Kagura Chizuru's expression instantly showed dissatisfaction. The tsundere older sister was just tsundere, not stupid. She could see that Shen Ye was in a difficult position.

The other three women, including Kagura Maki, all had a hint of joy in their eyes.

Especially Kagura Maki, she herself didn't know why she felt joy.

"Wasn't it my original wish to have Shen Jun become my sister's husband?"

She was suddenly horrified by her own thoughts; her love for her sister seemed to have become less pure.

Sure enough, my feelings for Shen Jun were a bit abnormal; I really am... a lewd woman.

But if Shen Jun becomes my sister's husband, it seems like I'll have more opportunities, right?

Just as she was thinking this conflictedly, Kagura Chizuru pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "I've already swallowed my pride and told you straight, and you're actually feeling embarrassed? Do you want to take all the women in the room?"

Once married, a man can only have one woman, but if he's not married, having ten or eight doesn't seem to be a problem.

At this moment, Shen Ye really wanted to say, "You're right, that's exactly what I think," but saying that would definitely cause trouble.

But remaining silent doesn't seem like a good solution either.

hiss!

This story world doesn't seem so easy to conquer!

However, perhaps feeling that Shen Ye was having a tough time, Lady Luck, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally lifted the hem of her skirt for him.

"Young Miss, it's already five o'clock, time to start the blessing ceremony."

Outside the main hall, the voice of the maid Yumiko could be heard.

"So fast?"

Kagura Maki was still waiting for Shen Ye's answer, but Yumiko's appearance was just right for her.

I can't put Shen Jun in a difficult position, nor can I force him to make a choice. In fact, the current situation is the most advantageous for me.

However, it seems this trouble was something I brought upon myself...

Kagura Maki suddenly regretted it.

It seems I've really screwed over my own sister.

……

(It's a romance anime, so it's normal for the romantic storylines to be a bit complicated.)

Chapter 630! Kagura

……

The maid Yumiko's announcement temporarily ended the battle in the small room.

Although this war was fought without gunfire, it still left the few people involved feeling very uneasy.

However, their war taught an observer something...

"Shen-kun, Ms. Mai, Ms. Yuri, would you like to watch the blessing ceremony later? It's a unique event at Yata Shrine."

Kagura Maki rose from her cushion. Unlike other shrine maidens who wore elaborate and ornate headdresses, she looked quite simple and elegant, standing quietly with an air of inviolable holiness on her face.

The only accessory she wore was the crystal earring that Shen Ye had given her a few days ago, which made her, who already looked pure and holy, seem less unapproachable.

"But the blessing ceremony will last for a long time, right?"

Mai Shiranui originally came to pray for blessings, but she didn't want to stay at the shrine for too long. It was already approaching evening, and she needed to go to her next destination after dark.

Every year during the festival, there is a fireworks display here.

I had planned to watch the fireworks display with someone I like several days ago.

"It will last a long time, after all, there are so many people..." Kagura Manki smiled slightly, probably seeing what Mai Shiranui was thinking. "However, it is usually held only once an hour, and each time it will not last very long. You only need to participate in the first one."

"Alright!" Mai Shiranui nodded.

……

The prayer ceremony at Yata Shrine is naturally held in the Kagura Hall. Although the Kagura Hall is a building that every shrine has, among so many shrines that have been passed down through generations, it is probably only the Kagura family that changed their name from Yata to Kagura.

However, judging from their names, the priestesses of the Yata family should all be highly skilled in Kagura in every generation.

And that was indeed the case. Once the prayer ceremony began, Kagura Manki started her prayer performance, dancing and singing on a makeshift stage. The stage was surrounded by a layer of white gauze, so the audience could only see a graceful figure dancing and singing to the so-called deity.

However, the unique island-style melancholy melody did not resonate with Shen Ye as an audience member, and he did not even understand the meaning of the lyrics.

He still preferred grander melodies and dances, like the music and dance that the Nine Heavens Holy Maiden had specially choreographed for him back then, when he felt like a tyrant...

Kagura Manki's performance did not last long, ending in about a few minutes, after which she returned to the main hall to rest.

But the prayer activities have only just begun. At this time, the shrine maids will act as temporary shrine maidens, guiding citizens and tourists who come to pray to perform some rituals, while also selling some trinkets. This is one of the reasons why the Kagura family is better off than the other two families of the Three Sacred Treasures; they will not miss any opportunity to make money.

Shen Ye wasn't interested in any of this, but Mai Shiranui and Sayuri participated with great enthusiasm. After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye turned and went to the main hall.

In the small room of the main hall, only the older sister, Kagura Maki, was present. After all, while she was dancing, the younger sister couldn't be idle either; she was also quite busy.

Kagura Manki, who was drinking tea, blushed inexplicably when she saw Shen Ye coming alone. She then quickly got up and poured him a cup of tea.

"Isn't Shen Jun going to participate in the blessing ceremony?"

Although that's what she said, Kagura Manki was overjoyed. After pouring tea for Shen Ye, she didn't return to her own seat. Instead, she picked up her teacup, walked over to Shen Ye's side, and knelt down as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Mr. Shen, please have some tea."

She was always so polite to Shen Ye, not out of courtesy, but as if she was hiding something.
