Zongman: Dream with me

There is a small hill where the shrine of Tennyoume resides.

The courtyard is very spacious, with a majestic building standing in the depths.

There is a place to worship the shrine. Behind it is the main hall, and next to the main hall you can see a building that looks like a raised bed.

There are also buildings and community offices where you can get hand washing water, it really feels like a shrine...

It was already a little late when he arrived yesterday, so he didn't take a serious look around. More importantly, Mu You didn't see any monsters or spiritual creatures.

"Ei, what's that building next to the main hall?"

"Yes, Kagura-den."

"Kagura-den? Is that where the sacred dance is performed...?"

"Yes, that's right. They perform the sacred dance there during the festival."

"Oh...it's unexpectedly so formal." Mu You smiled awkwardly.

Suddenly, questions that he had never noticed before emerged in his mind.

"Ying, how much do you know about Cha Yiji?"

"I'm not sure either. It's said that this deity is very obscure, and there are basically no records related to it."

Really? For such a niche deity, it's a truly magnificent shrine...

"Thank you. I think God will be pleased too."

Looking at the shrine in front of him, Mu You had a sudden inspiration.

"Haha... Well, this is a rare opportunity, so I'll come and pay my respects as well."

"Thank you. The place to wash your hands is right here."

Although the washbasin is old, it is cleaned very well, creating a stable atmosphere.

The water scooped from the ladle is very cool and makes people feel particularly comfortable.

After washing his hands and rinsing his mouth, Mu You walked towards the front hall.

"Um, is there anything special about this?"

"Well? Just visit the shrine however you like, okay?"

Whatever? Then how about I light three incense sticks or offer a flower? Mu You was a little embarrassed.

"But the witch is standing right next to me. If I do it casually, won't it make people laugh?"

"Ahaha, it's okay. Even God would be happy that you can come here to worship. There's no need to be so reserved."

What's more, God seems to be out visiting friends and is not at home now.

Let’s just follow Ying.

"Really? Well, then, let's go together."

After climbing a few steps, the incense money box appeared in front of us.

The worship hall in front of me was indeed very beautifully decorated, full of the charm of a shrine.

Because we have been told to bow twice on TV recently, everyone remembers it very clearly.

First, a bow.

Then there’s the incense money…any amount is fine.

"Well, according to convention at this time... it should be five yuan."

After the coin was put in, a unique sound came from the incense box and echoed all around.

"And then, shake it."

There was a familiar and unique sound of old metal.

"Next is the second bow... this is what everyone calls twice."

Mu You bowed his head deeply and slowly towards the shrine.

"Then clap your hands twice and convey your petition or other requests to God."

"I see."

As she said, Mu You clapped his hands twice on his chest.

May all go well...

"...Sama Xayiki...I brought You-kun to see you..."

...Why does it sound like you're just chatting about family matters?

Then, bow deeply again.

……

Then bow slightly again when leaving, as if saying goodbye to the gods.

So that’s it…

Although the shrine visit ended without incident...but if you think about it, it's quite rude to let others teach while you visit the shrine.

"I'm extremely grateful that people come to worship here. I think being able to call on the gods with a frank heart is enough."

really?

Mu You felt that Tiannvmu was more frank than casual.

Rather than form, the mood is the most important thing... eh?

He remembered the words that Tiannvmu had whispered into his ears when he was paying homage to her.

Take me... "to see you"...

Are there really gods here?

"Now that we've finished our pilgrimage, let's go back and have some barley tea."

Tiannumu enthusiastically took Mu You's hand, feeling the softness of her fingertips, and Mu You did not object. However, it seemed that a guest had arrived.

"Ying?!"

The two turned their heads, and Ying was the first to react, greeting enthusiastically: "Good morning, Xiaoye!"

The visitor was wearing an elegant long skirt with white cherry blossom patterns on the hem, a white shirt draped over her upper body, and her long black hair fluttering in the wind. She was a very cute and beautiful girl, and also Ying's half-sister - Nagisa Ichiha.

It’s a pity that the visitor has bad intentions.

Zhu Yiye hurried forward and separated the two people who were still holding hands. He held the Tiannvmu in front of him and looked at Mu You vigilantly.

"who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Mu You, I'm from Chiba, and I'm here for tourism."

"Are you the guy Ying brought back last night?"

Mu You was stunned. After Zhu Yiye's explanation, he realized that the news of the new face appearing in the town had spread throughout the town in just one night.

"What were you doing just now?!"

Just one night, and these two are already holding hands?!

Or it was a guy of unknown origin. At this time, Zhu Yiye looked at Mu You as if he was a bad guy who wanted to steal his own Xiao Baicai.

"Xiao Ye, Youjun is a good man, you can't do this."

"But……"

"Okay, Xiaoye is the best."

Under Tiannvmu's constant nagging, Nagisa Ichiye had no choice but to give up for the time being, but when she calmed down, she discovered another very fatal problem.

"Mr. Mu You, can I ask you about the clothes you are wearing..."

"Ah, this is what I got for You-kun. It originally belonged to your grandfather."

"Then he last night..."

"I live at the shrine."

Mu You: “…”

Nagisa Ichiha: “…”

After a long time, Zhu Yiye took a deep breath and said to Mu You: "I have something to talk to Ying about alone now. I hope Mr. Mu You can understand."

"Okay, then I want to go out for a walk and buy some snacks. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I want ice cream."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mu You."

"It's my duty." Mu You turned and left calmly.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, he heard the chaos between Nagisa Ichiha and her sister Tennen Muei. Mu You shook his head and observed a few seconds of silence for the latter, hoping that she would remember this for a long time.

Not everyone is as kind as he is.

Mu You strolled around the town. People around him stared at him curiously as he was a new face. Some old people he had met yesterday also greeted him and questioned him as if they were checking his household registration.

After finally fooling around and revealing his face, he arrived at a deserted place, transformed into the wind, and arrived in front of a long-abandoned hospital. Mu You cast a simple spell around the hospital and walked in with a swagger.

Kasugano Hospital was a hospital run by the original grandparents, but because his parents were engaged in the furniture industry, after his grandparents passed away, the hospital was abandoned because there was no one to inherit it.

If fate had not changed, after the death of his parents, the original body would have been forced by the survival pressure of the big city to come here with his sister Qiong to start another life.

But now the situation has changed, and the hospital has been in a state of abandonment. Mu You took out the key he brought with him and opened the door.

On the other hand, Nagisa Ichiye questioned Tianmu Nuying about Mu You's behavior, and found out that she was actually a good person.

"Xiaoye, don't worry, Youjun is really a good person... Ouch!"

"How dare you say that! You're lucky this time, what about next time?"

"You dare bring her home when we're meeting for the first time? What if something unexpected happens?!"

Nagisa Ichiye also has some understanding of her sister's personality, but it is really hard to feel at ease with her eccentricity.

“It’s not the first time.”

"what?"

The Heavenly Mother Nüying looked past the girl and towards the wider and more distant sky.

"This isn't the first time Yu-kun and I have met."
