Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

When they reached a low shrine, Shiraizumi Yiti stopped and looked at the Kimono God inside and said, "I heard that every household around here worships the Kimono Sleeve God."

There are two small shrines together, and inside them are two gods wearing long-sleeved kimonos, with white faces and ears, no different from humans.

There are some remaining offerings in the shrine, surrounded by flowers offered to the gods.

"However, this Kimono Sleeve God has another name, called Kimono Sleeve Prajna."

"Kimono-sode Prajna?"

Judy looked at her in surprise, wondering why it was called that.

Eri Akechi explained with a smile, "This is a legend passed down from ancient times. It is said that there was a girl named Xiaohua in this village in the past."

"Hana was a hardworking and kind person. One day she saved a samurai who had fallen and was injured on the road. To repay her, the samurai gave her many beautiful long-sleeved kimonos and obis."

"Later, the village chief's two daughters, out of jealousy, deliberately framed her. Xiaohua was eventually captured by the government, and even her kimono was snatched away by the village chief's two daughters."

"On the night Xiaohua was executed, the two sisters were immersed in joy, wearing the long-sleeved kimonos and obi they had snatched. Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and Xiaohua's ghost appeared before the two sisters through the wall."

"The two sisters screamed loudly in fear, and then a miserable cry was heard."

"Their family heard their screams and rushed to find the younger sister dead on her spread-out long-sleeved kimono, covered by many obi belts."

"The elder sister drowned in the garden pond, also wrapped in many long belts."

"The villagers knew that Xiaohua had died with regrets, so they built a temple for her and made her the village's patron saint. From then on, wherever she went, everyone would pray for her."

"So this is ah."

Judy and Bayonetta nodded as if they understood.

Only Bai Quanyi curled his lips speechlessly and complained secretly: The warrior Xiaohua saved was probably a weak warrior who could get hurt if he fell. He is really terrible.

"See that building over there?"

Eri Akechi suddenly pointed to a building not far away and said.

Everyone had already seen it. It was a wooden building, not big, with a wooden wall around it. There was a very tall cherry tree inside the wall, but everything was covered with snow.

Backed by the mountains, it looks like a quiet place.

Eri Akechi continued, "That's the shrine called Kimono Sodejin Taisha Shrine."

"Ms. Huili, you really know a lot."

Judy laughed.

"No, it's probably because I often hide in the Kotoya Inn to write."

Eri Akechi smiled and shook her head, then walked towards the shrine.

Everyone followed suit.

There was a long stone staircase in front of the shrine. Everyone climbed up the stairs. When they reached the last step, they suddenly saw a beautiful woman standing under the cherry tree in the yard.

The beauty tilted her head back, gazing at the cherry blossoms in a trance, standing in the shrine. The scene was like a painting.

"Isn't that Miss Harumi?"

Sister Bei said unexpectedly.

"Really."

Judy called out to Tsushima Harumi, "Ms. Harumi!"

Hearing Judy's cry, Tsufuka Harumi turned her head and revealed a gentle and beautiful smile.

In the shrine.

Under the cherry blossom tree.

Harumi Tsushima stared at the cherry tree intently, as if she had an indescribable feeling. Although her tone was gentle, it was filled with emotion as she said:

"This tree is called the Kimono Sodezakura. It's 500 years old. Every spring, its branches are covered with cherry blossoms, just like pairs of beautiful kimono sleeves."

The tassels on the kimono sleeves are thick and tall, with thousands of branches hanging down. It can be imagined that once spring comes and the flowers bloom, the scenery will be magnificent.

Upon hearing this, Judy was a little surprised and said, "Ms. Chunmei, are you familiar with this village?"

"No."

Tsushima Harumi was as gentle as water, smiled warmly, shook her head and said, "I have a senior in college who loves cherry blossoms very much. She also told me the story of this cherry tree."

"I came here specially because I thought of her."

"You have a really good relationship with that senior from college. You two must be good friends, right?"

Judy laughed.

"Ah."

Harumi Tsushima nodded and added in her heart: We are very good friends.

Next to her, Akechi Eri raised her head and stared at the cherry tree in a daze. Her eyes were deep and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this moment, Sister Bei suddenly said, "Sister Xiaolan, there is an ancestral hall over there. It seems quite interesting."

After saying that, he ran over.

Bai Quanyi turned his head and saw a low ancestral hall next to him. Compared with the temple, it looked much shorter.

Akechi Eri had come to her senses and looked at the small shrine. She said, "This is the shrine dedicated to the Kimono Sode God."

"Worship the Kimono Sleeve God?"

Sister Bei looked at the ancestral hall curiously.

Eri Akechi continued, "The Kimono Sode God sometimes becomes the God of Vengeance."

"revenge?"

Everyone looked slightly shocked.

"The locals say that if you wear a long-sleeved kimono and come here to worship at midnight, the kimono-sleeved god will avenge you for any vengeance you cannot take on yourself."

"The patterned paper dolls inside are offered by those who visit the Kimono Sode God."

As Akechi Eri said this, she walked forward and opened the door of the small shrine.

Generally speaking, people who want to seek revenge will leave offerings after paying homage to the long-sleeved kimono, that is, they will leave patterned paper dolls in the ancestral hall as offerings.

Seeing the door of the ancestral hall open, Judy bent down curiously and leaned forward to look inside. Suddenly, her face changed and she said, "Ah! There are new dolls here, and two of them."

"what!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all knew what having a new doll meant.

Tsushima Harumi exclaimed, "Ah! Has someone come here again to make a wish to the Kimono Sleeve God recently?"

"There are probably two people this person wants to take revenge on."

Akechi Eri's face darkened and she said.

Bai Quanyi also felt that this matter was quite strange, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, things like revenge by ghosts and gods were nonsense in themselves.

Later, on the way back to the hotel, everyone except Bai Quanyi had serious expressions and remained silent, as if they were still thinking about the two new dolls.

King game

3pm.

In the hotel room.

"Brother Bai, let's go to the hot springs."

Sister Bei said with some excitement.

"it is good."

Bai Quanyi nodded. Didn't we come here just to soak in the hot springs?

Sister Bei looked at Judy again: "Judy, you go too."

After so much time had passed, Judy's mood had long since recovered. She smiled and nodded.

After changing into bathrobes, everyone rushed to the hot spring pool. The hot springs here are used at different times.

Now, there are only three people.

Hot springs gushed down from great heights, with mist swirling over the surface of the water.

There was a warmth in the air, not cold.

The three of them were naked, enjoying a comfortable soak in the hot springs, which brought them closer.

The distance is getting closer and closer, turning into a negative distance.

First it was Shiraizumi Yi and Vermouth, then Shiraizumi Yi and Judy. The three of them were close together and enjoyed the comfort of the natural hot spring.

An hour later, the three of them returned to the guest room in their yukatas and continued exercising until dinner time.

The three of them were invited by Bando Jingyi to have dinner with Bando Jingyi and his group.

In front of the dining table.

There is a wide variety of dishes and drinks.

Everyone sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.

During this period, Bando Kyōichi warmly entertained Shiraizumi Masu, and Akechi Eri, Tsufuka Harumi, Anzai Ema, Shibasaki Asuka, and Yasuda Raiko also stole glances at Shiraizumi Masu from time to time.

The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious, with glasses clinking.

"I'm very grateful to everyone for coming here with us for four days just for this interview."

At the dinner table, Bando Jingyi held the wine glass and expressed his gratitude.

"Eri, you must give me more emphasis on my role in this TV series. Thank you in advance, hehe."

Anzai Ema giggled, her laugh very playfully.

She has a loli face to begin with, and she looks really cute when she smiles like this.

"But I still haven't decided how the story will develop."

Akechi Eri said with a calm smile.

"I haven't even started yet, so I'm asking you for a favor."

There was a hint of disappointment in Anzai Ema's eyes, and her face looked a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Yasuda Raiko quickly changed the subject. She looked at Bando with a surprised smile and said, "Mr. Bando, please let Harumi sing the theme song when the time comes."

Tsushima Harumi was shocked and felt timid, as if she had no confidence.

But before she could say anything, Bando beside her smiled and said, "Of course you can."

After saying that, he looked at Tsushima Harumi and said, "I'll be in your hands when the time comes."

“Who knows if she can stay as popular as she did then.”

Asuka Shibasaki curled her lips, then said something seemingly nonchalantly while picking up some food.

And Anzai Ema also shook her head.

Tsushika Harumi, who was originally a little happy, suddenly lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get a little awkward, Bando Jing raised his glass and said with a smile, "Let's drink, let's not talk about this now."

The meal lasted until 8 o'clock in the evening before everyone left.

In the room.

It was already half an hour after dinner, and Bai Quanyi, Sister Bei and Judy were playing the King game in the room to kill time.

The so-called King Game is that the person who draws the king asks the other two to choose a posture. It is a game that is very suitable for playing at the Silver Party.

Just when they were having fun, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hey, can I come in?"

Hearing the voice, the three of them quickly put their clothes in order, and then Baiquan Yicai said, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open and a delicate figure walked in silently.

"It's you, Miss Harumi."

The person who came was Tsufuka Harumi.
