I formed the strongest swordsman group

Looking at the witch in front of them, Sanako and the chief executive were both stunned.

At this moment, the same thoughts emerged in the hearts of the two women: what a beautiful woman.

The beautiful miko is extremely elegantly dressed, impeccable in everything.

She was wearing white sleeves and a long undergarment. An elegant purple hakama wrapped her slender waist to her ankles. She wore a pair of lovely white socks on her slender feet. Her jet-black hair was tied up with white sandalwood paper. A low ponytail on the back, and the root of the braided hair is tied with a red shuiyin (head rope).

Except that the hakama skirt is not a common scarlet hakama, this is an ordinary shrine maiden appearance.

However, it is such a set of priestess costumes without any special features, but it looks so good on this beautiful priestess.

Even those who are the most picky about "beauty" in this world will probably widen their eyes in surprise when they see it.

At this time, the beautiful miko sensed the eyes of Sanako and the chief executive.

She turned her face unhurriedly, and her eyes lit up when she saw the faces of Sanazi and the chief executive.

"Oh, there are two beautiful guests here."

The pretty maiden smiled, and then saluted Sanako and the chief minister from a distance.

Her light and generous demeanor had a mature, elusive yet genial charm.

"Welcome to Moon Palace Shrine, I am Niyi, Yu Du from this shrine."

As soon as Yu Du... that is, Tianzhangyuan's words fell, Zuo Nazi and the chief secretary hurriedly bowed to return the salute.

When he straightened his waist after the ceremony, Zuo Nazi couldn't help but look at Tianzhangyuan a few more times.

Looking at the young face of Tianzhangyuan who was at most in his early twenties, Zuo Nazi couldn't help but secretly sighed:

——Neigi... No wonder you're wearing a purple hakama...you are a shrine's Nigi at such a young age...that's amazing...

In the ranking of priests in Shintoism in Japan, Niyi ranks third, and only Gongji and Quan Gongji are ranked above it.

To put it simply, the boss, second child, and third child of a shrine are Gong Si, Quan Gong Si, and Niyi respectively.

Mi Yi's main job is to assist the Palace Secretary and the Quan Palace Secretary, and is also responsible for managing the clergy below You Yi.

The reason why Sanako was shocked by Niyi who became a shrine at a young age is because Niyi is not capable of all cats and dogs.

Shinto shrines basically adopt "family management".

Most shrines are managed by a certain family for generations.

In other words, most of the priests of the shrine are mainly hereditary.

For example: the Senjia family inherited the priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine, the Ji family inherited the priest of the Japanese Shrine Kunukan Shrine, the Aso family inherited the priest of Aso Shrine, and the Senki family inherited the priest of Atsuta Shrine.

On the other hand, Quan Gongsi and Mi Yi are not hereditary, and they have to rely on their real skills to run for office.

Qualifications are required to become a priest.

The so-called qualifications are the distinctions of ranks.

You need to become a certain qualification rank before you can be promoted or be eligible to be called a veritable priesthood title.

The level of priesthood required in shrines of different social status will also be different.

The ranks of Shinto gods, from low to high, are Zhiji, Quanzheng, Zhengji, Mingji, and Jingji.

The highest net level is basically an honorary title, and only those who have made great contributions to the study of Shinto can be called this level.

To become a Nigi of a shrine, at least the third rank, the main rank, must be obtained.

At only twenty years old, becoming Miyi with a full rank... This is an incredible achievement.

Thinking of this, Sanako couldn't help admiring the beautiful witch in front of him.

"If you two are here to pay homage, then Temizuya is there."

Tianzhangyuan said with a smile.

The so-called Teshui House is a necessary pavilion building in the shrine, and it is a place for worshipers to wash their hands and rinse their mouths.

According to the rules of Shintoism, worshipers must wash their hands and rinse their mouths in Temizuya before worshiping the gods.

There are specific regulations on how to wash your hands and mouth, and which hand to wash first.

First, take water with a spoon in your right hand and wash your left hand.

Then switch to the left hand to take the spoon and wash the right hand.

Then switch to the right hand to hold the spoon, and pour water into the palm of the left hand to rinse the mouth.

After rinsing your mouth, wash your left hand with water and stand the spoon upright.

"Thanks!"

The general manager politely thanked Tianzhangyuan who enthusiastically introduced the location of Tesui House to them.

"You're welcome. If you two don't understand anything, you can ask the shrine maiden of our company."

After finishing speaking, Tianzhangyuan stepped on light steps and walked slowly in the opposite direction from Sanako and the chief executive.

Zuo Nazi and the chief director also took their eyes away from Tianzhangyuan, preparing to concentrate on paying homage.

Just when Tianzhang Court passed by the two daughters——

"Ah, Miss Sanako, I found some change."

Zuo Nazi... Hearing this name, the pair of beautiful eyes of Tianzhangyuan were instantly widened in surprise...

...

...

Sanako and the chief executive cleaned their hands and rinsed their mouths in the hand water house in order, and then returned to the front of the main hall.

Bang! Bang!

The two women threw copper coins into the money box, and then shook the bells on their heads.

Jingle...jingle...

When the crisp and pleasant bells sounded, Zuo Nazi and the chief executive clapped their palms together twice, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and lowered their heads.

It's like a tacit understanding, obviously without prior communication, but the two girls made exactly the same wish——

Gods... Please be sure to bless Mr. Tachibana...

However, the two girls raised their heads almost at the same time.

God has also worshiped, and there is no reason to continue to stay in this shrine.

"Okita-kun, let's go."

Sanako said.

"Um."

The chief nodded slightly.

At this moment, a voice that surprised both Sanako and the chief executive sounded from behind them:

"Excuse me, are you Chiba Sanako from Little Chiba Sword Academy?"

The sudden question made Sanako startled.

She immediately cast her puzzled eyes behind her.

What caught his eyes was the small white sleeves, the elegant purple hakama, and the beautiful face.

"Miss Yu Du?"

Both Zuo Nazi and the chief executive were concentrating on praying for Qingdeng just now, so they didn't know that Tianzhang Courtyard didn't go far at all, and she had been standing gracefully not far behind the second daughter.

After the second daughter's visit, she immediately stepped forward and came directly behind Sanako.

"I am Chiba Sanako from Little Chiba Sword Academy."

Although it is unclear how Tianzhangyuan recognized her, Sanako answered Tianzhangyuan's question truthfully.

At the same time, she cast a vigilant look at Tianzhang Courtyard.

Suddenly a stranger called out his name accurately... Anyone who encountered such a situation would be surprised and secretly wary.

Tianzhangyuan immediately read the meaning of Sanako's eyes.

To avoid misunderstanding, she quickly said:

"I heard your companion call you 'Sanako' just now, so I thought: Could you be the famous 'Chiba Oni Komachi'? So I couldn't help but come here to verify. If you bother me It's your turn, please forgive me."

After listening to Tianzhangyuan's explanation, Zuo Nazi's eyes and expression softened a little.

"You are too polite, I dare not be famous."

"Hahaha, Miss Chiba, you are being modest. May I ask, who in Edo does not know the name of 'Chiba Oni Komachi'? Oh, today is such a good day. I have heard the name of 'Edo's No. 1 Beauty' for a long time. , I have the honor to meet you today, it really makes me overjoyed."

After all, Tianzhang Court carefully looked at Zuo Nazi from head to toe, and said with emotion:

"Your beauty is well-deserved."

"You flatter me."

Sanako, who has long been accustomed to being praised, responded neither humble nor overbearing.

At first glance, the atmosphere lingering between Sanazi and Tianzhang Courtyard is peaceful.

But in fact, an elusive invisible "undercurrent" has been quietly surging around them.

Because it was well concealed, neither Sanako nor the chief executive noticed at this time—the intriguing eyes were shining under the beautiful eyes of Tianzhangyuan...

...

...

——Sanako Chiba...then she is Sheng Qing's friend...

As Qingdeng's friend and boss, Tianzhangyuan once heard Qingdeng introduce his love life in a small chat with Qingdeng.

It was at that time that Tianzhang Court learned for the first time that Qing Deng, who was serious on the surface, was actually so lustful in private...

Not only did he like two girls at the same time, but he also dreamed of marrying both girls as regular wives.

One of the girls is the Chiba Sanako who makes countless Edo men dream of and dream of.

What Tianzhangyuan didn't know was that——Qingdeng's love object had already been promoted from two to three, and he had developed an intimate relationship with the extra one that was basically the same as a husband and wife—if Tianzhangyuan knew about this , I really don't know what expression she will make.

Closer to home.

Tianzhang Yuanben had no interest in Sanako.

It wasn't until Qingdeng confessed that he had special feelings for Sanako that the name Chiba Sanako left a deep impression on her heart.

Today is the first time that Tianzhangyuan met Zuo Nazi.

After looking at Zuo Nazi's pretty face several times, Tianzhangyuan thought to himself:

——No wonder Sheng Qing likes her... She really has a pleasing and beautiful face, and a wonderful body that can make men mesmerized.

——It is not without reason that she will be called the 'No. 1 Beauty in Edo'.

At this time, for some reason, an inexplicable feeling of comparison welled up in Tianzhangyuan's heart...

——Chiba Sanako is indeed very attractive...but that's it.

Tianzhangyuan pouted without a trace.

——Whether it's appearance or figure, at most she is only on the same level as me...

While thinking this way, Tianzhangyuan unconsciously glanced at Zuo Nazi's bear chest, which was held up high by the padded coat and kendo uniform.

This is the first time that Tianzhangyuan meets a woman whose size is comparable to hers...

...

...

Next, Zuo Nazi and Tianzhangyuan talked politely.

The reason why Tianzhang Court stopped Sanazi was purely for the purpose of getting a close-up look at what a woman Qingdeng likes looks like.

Now that this project has been completed, Tianzhang Court naturally lost interest in continuing to chat with Sanako.

After a while, Tianzhang Court throws out a formulaic polite phrase that is often used to end a chat.

And Zuo Nazi also followed Tianzhangyuan's words and ended the conversation.

After a brief farewell, Sanako and the chief executive turned back along the same route and left the shrine.

But at this moment, the chief executive who had just walked a few steps away suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Miss Yu Du, can I ask you something?"

Tianzhangyuan looked up at the chief director.

"Of course, you can ask."

"Well, we're looking for a man."

The general manager raised his hand and compared the height of 1.75 meters.

"He is tall, almost six feet tall, handsome, with a strong body, an Edo accent, no Tsukiyo shaved, and only a bun on his head. Have you ever seen a man with these characteristics ?"

Tianzhangyuan raised his eyebrows, then raised his head, as if thinking.

"Six feet tall...you are really tall...uh..."

After a while, she shook her head and said without blushing:

"No, I haven't seen a man with these features."

"Like This……"

There was a gloomy look in the director's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and thanked Tianzhangyuan with a smile on her face.

"Sorry to bother you, thank you for your cooperation!"

Looking at the bright smiling face of the chief executive, Tianzhang Yuan secretly thought to himself:

——What a beautiful young boy... Could he be the Souji Okita who has a good relationship with Sheng Qing?

Before Tianzhangyuan had time to ask the chief executive to verify his identity, the chief executive took two quick steps and returned to Zuo Nazi's side.

Seeing this, Tianzhang Court thought:

——Forget it... he can be anyone, anyway, I probably won't have the chance to meet him again...

Two tall horses, one long and one short, swayed in the wind.

Tianzhangyuan stood in place, silently watching the back of Sanazi and the chief executive as they left.

It wasn't until the second daughter was no longer seen in the field of vision that she murmured in a volume that only she could hear clearly:

"Fortunately, Sheng Qing is not here now..."

...

...

At this very moment—

Edo, somewhere next to Tsukimiya Shrine—

"Nah... nah..."

Yae secretly poked Sae next to her with her elbow.

"what?"

Sato asked impatiently.

"The younger generation seems to be in a bad mood."

Yae lowered his voice and whispered.

"Shall we say something to comfort him?"

After finishing speaking, Yazhong raised his eyes and stared at Qingdeng who was walking in front of them.

Even without looking at it with eyes, Yae can clearly perceive: Qingdeng's current expression...is not very good-looking...

"... Yae, I advise you not to do that."

Sha heavy sighed.

"Mr. Orange must be in a mess right now, let him be quiet."

"Well……"

Yae seemed to want to say something more.

But after hesitating for a moment, she silently closed her lips, fell silent, and stopped speaking.

The two sisters thought they were speaking in a low volume, but actually every word and every sentence they said just now was clearly heard by Qingdeng, who has a "wind sensor".

Qingdeng was moved by how much the Erzhong sisters cared about him.

But they got one thing wrong - although Qingdeng's current expression did look stinky, it wasn't because he was in a bad mood.

To be honest, Qingdeng is not in a bad mood right now, but...in a delicate mood...

After leaving Juchi Qianshui's dilapidated house, a strange emotion that I don't know the name and details has been entrenched in Qingdeng's heart.

Qingdeng had never experienced such emotion before.

How should I describe it...

Doesn't seem to be confused.

Nor does it seem pathetic.

A little heavy.

But a little excited.

Emotions that are difficult to describe with specific adjectives.

Qingdeng tried to find out the real name of this emotion.

But whenever he sinks his heart and feels this emotion carefully, it's like fishing for the moon in the water - when he thought he was about to pick up the moon, in the end he only grabbed a handful of water.

"call……"

Qingdeng looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.

Obviously, he hasn't done anything strenuous today, but Qingdeng feels inexplicably tired right now...

Before he knew it, the stone stairs of the Moon Palace Shrine came into Qingdeng's eyes.

Feeling extremely tired, Qingdeng walked up the stairs with his head down.

Just when Qingdeng's sight and consciousness were focused on the stairs under his feet, two footsteps sounded from the top of his head into his ears...

2 familiar footsteps.

Calm and elegant, bouncing and bouncing full of vigor and vitality... two completely different ways of walking.

There are two ways of walking that Qingdeng can never admit wrong...

Along with the sound of footsteps, there is also a shining breath floating towards Qingdeng.

As if a conditioned reflex, Qingdeng raised his head in shock and looked at the stone steps above his head——in front of him were two high ponytails, one long and one short...
