I am recycling settings in the anime

It's like you are writing a novel online, and then there is a sudden power outage halfway through, leaving you with thousands of words of novel but no draft. Not to mention your mentality at the time, even if the power comes back on now, you probably wouldn't want to continue writing because you are so tired!

Sanae walked into the shrine with such a tired mood, and then she happened to see Kanako sitting there waiting for her. The reason why Sanae thought so was mainly because she saw two teacups on the table.

One of them must be prepared for me... Sanae thought to herself as she looked at the tea that had just been filled.

Sanae sat down in her seat very naturally, and then collapsed on the table as if she had completely lost all her energy.

"Sigh... I'm so tired. I didn't expect this operation to be so exhausting. It's much more troublesome than a normal commission."

Seeing Sanae lying directly on the table with a tired look on her face, Kanako also had a slightly doting smile on her face.

While doting on her, she also felt a little distressed. Kanako didn't say much, but slowly walked to Sanae's side and gently stroked her head, as if she was stroking a newborn baby, which made Sanae feel a little uncomfortable.

The main thing is that the feeling of being treated like a child is really uncomfortable.

Normally, Sanae would simply shake her head to dismiss the person caressing her head.

But now, she no longer had the strength to resist and just collapsed on the table without saying a word.

"Sanae, I understand your desire to work hard, but you also need to understand that there are many things in this world that can't be easily solved simply by working hard. That kind of effort is just forcing yourself."

Kanako looked at Sanae like this and couldn't help but remind her.

She knew that Sanae had always been like this, but she still wanted to remind her.

Excessive effort is just forcing yourself, and the outcome will definitely not be good.

Hearing this, Sanae just raised her head slightly, and a gentle smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, Lady Kanako, I know my limits. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

"What should I do or shouldn't I do? I actually hope you don't know..."

Kanako sighed helplessly, and looking at Sanae's eyes that were almost unwavering, she didn't know how to start.

Kanako sat back in her seat silently, and as if she was sulking, she took a sip of the tea in the cup.

But it was obvious that the tea was not satisfying enough. It was a pity that there was no alcohol in front of her, otherwise she would definitely drink enough.

"Is your child trying too hard? Why isn't my Reimu working as hard?"

Such a voice slowly sounded in Kanako's ears, making Kanako couldn't help but tilt her head slightly.

A small gap slowly opened, and the voice came from there. Knowing who the voice came from, Kanako couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, then silently turned her head back, muttering to herself.

"That girl is just like that. Really, trying too hard isn't a good thing."

"In that case, why don't you let that girl follow you? Can't we go into Gensokyo together?"

"Tsk... There's no need for that girl to sacrifice her life for us. The task I gave Sanae was meant to embarrass her, hoping she'd give up. But, Sanae, this kid is really trying too hard."

As she said this, a look of helplessness gradually appeared on Kanako's face.

Sanae does not lack relatives or family in the outside world.

Not to mention that Sanae herself has her own dreams. She has told herself in the past that she wants to be admitted to a university in a big city, experience the charm of the big city, and then open the Moriya Shrine in the big city.

As a result, I made the other person drop out of school while he was still in high school and go to Gensokyo with me and others.

Isn't this asking Sanae to sacrifice the rest of her life for the sake of herself and others?

The sound did not continue to come out from the gap, and the breath also disappeared from behind.

The sudden silence made Kanako look over, but before she could see what was happening behind her, she heard Suwako's voice and two other unfamiliar voices coming from outside the shrine. Kanako quickly stood up and looked outside the shrine. Even Sanae seemed to have regained her strength and immediately jumped up from the table.

"Yoshi! I'm back, Sanae and Kanako, you should still be awake, I have a guest."

Watching Suwako jumping into the shrine with a happy smile on her face.

Then, before she could react, Sanae's serious expression caught Suwako's eyes.

The other party was holding Suwako's shoulders tightly with both hands, and was asking very harsh questions.

"Suwako-sama, how could you just go out like that without saying anything? You know, there have been a lot of troubles in Nagano Prefecture recently. What would happen if Suwako-sama was involved in these troubles? Why don't you persuade Suwako-sama? It's very dangerous to let Suwako-sama go out alone!"

The terrifying aura from Sanae directly suppressed Suwako so that she couldn't raise her head. Kanako also smiled awkwardly, her eyes wandering.

It has nothing to do with strength. In a sense, Sanae is the one with the highest status in the family.

Because the two gods in the shrine dote on Sanae like their own daughter, they often give in to her in many things. In addition, Sanae is also responsible for the daily affairs of the shrine, such as collecting faiths, cleaning the house, and preparing three meals a day. In a sense, she is also the housekeeper of the family. Therefore, they listen to Sanae on minor matters.

Just like now, Sanae's aura directly suppressed Suwako and she dared not look up.

Qinzi looked at the scene in amazement and couldn't help but put her head close to Fang Yi.

"Master, it seems that this miko is the boss of this household, but..."

"This is the first time I've seen a miko dare to question her own deity like this."

As she spoke, Qinzi's expression became a little subtle, which made Fang Yi smile.

"Isn't it normal for the housekeeper, who manages the household finances and meals, to have such a high status?"

"Just like the owner of the restaurant who is responsible for paying the public grain every night has the highest status in my place?"

Looking at Qinzi's face with a bright smile, Fang Yi opened his mouth and then closed it silently.

After scolding Suwako harshly, Sanae then set her eyes on Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko. She also noticed that there were two guests in the shrine, so she quickly restrained her expression and showed her usual gentleness.

Gentleness is the label that defines Sanae. Her harshness just now was because she cared too much about Suwako.

Suwako's current situation is not very good to begin with. She has been living on her own beliefs. If she encounters something that requires her to take action at this time, she will undoubtedly waste too much energy and shorten her life.

Sanae bowed slightly to Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko and spoke slowly in a gentle voice.

"You two, I'm Sanae Tofutani, the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine. Welcome to Moriya Shrine."

"My name is Fang Yi, and next to me is my girlfriend, Iwanaga Kotoko. Please give me your guidance, Miss Tofudani Sanae."

"Please give me your guidance, Miss Tofudani Sanae. And this person over here should be..."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Kanako, her eyes gleaming with a gleam.

Kanako also looked at Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko carefully, and glanced at a corner.

Then, a smile gradually appeared on Kanako's face.

"My name is Yasaka Kanako. Like Suwako, I'm the deity of Moriya Shrine."

Chapter 128: Strength is not used for comparison, but for protecting others.

Sanae invited Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko to sit down, and then looked at Fang Yi and Kotoko with curiosity.

Suwako sat aside and silently explained the matter between Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko, and did not hide the fact that she had secretly followed Sanae tonight. When Sanae heard this, a look of guilt appeared on her face.

She lowered her head, and a hint of sadness appeared on her pretty face.

"I'm sorry, Suwako-sama, if it weren't for my inability, I wouldn't need you..."

"No need to apologize, you are our miko, and it is our responsibility and obligation to protect you."

Suwako explained this in a very casual manner, and it seemed that she was just saying it casually, but the doting look in her eyes made Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko look at each other and smile at the same time.

These three people at Moriya Shrine really look like a real family.

Look, after hearing Suwako's words, Sanae said this with an anxious look on her face.

"No, Suwako-sama, I'm the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine, so it should be me..."

"Sanae, there's no point in arguing with Suwako about this. It's a fact that she's here to protect you. No matter how much you argue with her, it won't affect her from secretly protecting you. If you want to protect Suwako, become stronger and prove your ability in this incident."

Before Sanae could finish, Kanako took a sip of tea and said calmly,

Although it looks very plain, this plainness is the greatest severity in Suwako's eyes.

Suwako couldn't help but glance at Kanako, a hint of doubt flickering in her eyes.

Sanae nodded heavily, and her determined expression drew Suwako's puzzled look.

Strange, is it my imagination? I have a feeling that Sanae and Kanako are hiding something from me.

Fang Yi also saw the doubt in Suwako's eyes, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared on his face.

He glanced at a corner and nodded.

"I see. Suwako doesn't know Kanako's plan. She probably doesn't even know that Yakumo Yukari has come to invite them to Gensokyo. Also, judging by the attitude Suwako has shown now, she has almost no interest in her own beliefs or her own life or death. If she dies, she dies, she just disappears. It's precisely because of this attitude that Kanako knows she can't persuade Suwako, so she just takes the initiative to negotiate with Yakumo Yukari."

At first, Fang Yi felt a little strange when he heard Suwako's overly calm attitude towards her beliefs. How could she enter Gensokyo with such an attitude? It seemed that Kanako did it on her own initiative.

However, Kanako seemed reluctant to let Sanae come in with her. Well, Kanako was different from Suwako. They were both gods and spirits, non-human themselves. It was easy for them to enter Gensokyo without any worries, but it was different for Sanae.

She has her own life, friends and family, and leaving all of that behind to enter Gensokyo would be cruel for Sanae.

After all, judging from the original work, even if Sanae enters Gensokyo, it will be difficult for her to completely get used to the common sense of Gensokyo.

The common sense there is equivalent to the uncommon sense in the outside world. It is difficult for people who have stayed in the outside world for such a long time to get used to it.

Sanae did not continue to argue with Suwako about these trivial matters. As Lady Kanako said, instead of arguing here, it would be better to do something practical and prove that she did not need Lady Suwako's secret protection at all.

Then, she looked at Fang Yi, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"Thank you Mr. Fang Yi for your help before. That knife light was swung by Mr. Fang Yi, right? It was really powerful. He killed the evil centipede with just one knife. I feel that even if I could react in time, it would take a lot of effort to defeat it."

Speaking of this, Sanae's face was full of amazement. She didn't expect that there was such a powerful person.

The sword move that was displayed in front of her earlier was so stunning that Sanae didn't know how to describe it.

Hearing this, Suwako said this in a rather calm tone, with a flicker in her eyes that was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"This kid killed the evil spirit I summoned with a single blow, even though it was just a product of faith."

"Eh! Is he that powerful? He can even kill the evil spirit summoned by Suwako-sama."

After hearing Suwako's words, Sanae's face showed deep shock.

Although Lady Suwako's strength has decreased a lot due to her lack of faith, she is still very powerful.

If they fought to the death, even an ordinary big monster would not be a match for Lady Suwako. I didn't expect Mr. Fang Yi to...

"Don't be so surprised. This guy from your family is just testing me. Otherwise, if we really want to fight, I will have to put in some effort."

Fang Yi waved his hand, his eyes lingered on Suwako for a moment, and he also glanced at Kanako.

The most troublesome thing about creatures like gods is not their strength, but their authority. The characters in the IP of Gensokyo are not short of strange and bizarre abilities, such as Yakumo Yukari's realm and Flandre's destruction. The power of these two gods is not weak either. One controls the sky and the other controls the earth, just like the universe. It is not that simple when they really fight.

At least Fang Yi doesn't want to add unnecessary enemies for no reason.

"But this is already very impressive. Mr. Fang Yi actually looks about the same age as me, but he possesses such powerful strength. Even Lady Suwako is so impressed. As for me, it's actually very rare for Lady Suwako and others to praise me like this."

At the end of the conversation, an embarrassed look appeared on Sanae's face.

Fang Yi couldn't help but take another look at the other party. The other party looked too humble, even to the point of inferiority. Was Sanae originally like this? Or was it because of this girl's experience tonight and Kanako's strict attitude that made her feel this way? Fang Yi felt that it might be the latter.

After all, if Sanae had this kind of personality, how could she have rushed to the Hakurei Shrine to provoke Reimu after entering Gensokyo in the original work, and then ended up having both the shrine's two gods beaten up by Reimu.

However, no matter what kind of personality he had, Fang Xuan still comforted the other person slowly.

"Don't compare yourself to me. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. For example, the sealing skills you displayed when you sealed the evil centipede are already among the best I know. Why be so hard on yourself? Strength isn't for showing off or competing with others, but for protecting what you want to protect, right?"

Fang Yi's words made Sanae's face reveal a thoughtful look, and then she quickly said with a look of gratitude.

"I will keep Mr. Fang Yi's guidance in mind."

She knew that Fang Yi hoped that she would not get stuck in a rut, and she would always remember the kindness others showed her.

After seeing this scene, Kanako and Suwako both smiled gently.

Just as Sanae expressed gratitude to Fang Yi for guiding her, they were also happy about Fang Yi's behavior.

Although they had just met each other, as immortals, they had their own unique rules in this regard. They knew exactly what kind of people were worthy of their company and what kind were not.

At least they were very satisfied with Fang Yize's act of expressing goodwill.

"Sanae, from now on, you and Fang Yi will go together to investigate the ghost stories in Nagano Prefecture."

"Eh? Mr. Fang Yi, are you also going to investigate ghost stories?"

Suwako's suggestion made Sanae look puzzled.

Fang Yi nodded, and when he mentioned the ghost story, a serious look gradually appeared in his eyes.

"I have my own investigation to do, which is why I came all the way to Nagano Prefecture. If Miss Tofutani Sanae doesn't mind, please allow me to join you. I can help out if necessary, right?"

Hearing this, Sanae nodded in agreement without much thought.

"Although this is a test given to me by Lady Kanako, I also know that I cannot resolve this matter quickly with my own ability, and I don't want so many people to suffer because of my own stubbornness, so..."
