I have become an immortal, you say this is the collapse of the world?

"Cough cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough!"

"……"

The pink-haired girl was coughing on the tatami.

She covered her mouth, as if she didn't want the droplets to splash around.

The girl sitting next to her looked at her with a distressed expression. She held the prepared medicine in her hand and delivered it to the girl.

"cold"

"The medicine is ready"

"Drink it while it's hot."

The girl said cautiously.

She took a spoonful with a spoon, blew it gently and then put it in front of the girl.

However, the pale girl did not take the medicine obediently. There were marks on her face and forehead. He was covered in sweat and said with a hopeless look in his eyes.

"elder sister"

"my illness"

"Can it still be cured?"

"Cough cough cough!"

The girl coughed desperately, and there was a trace of blood on the palm of her hand covering her mouth.

This made the heartache in the girl's eyes even more.

She put down the medicinal soup in her hand and gently touched the girl on his back, the words on his lips became more and more gentle.

"Fool"

"Stop thinking nonsense"

"Rin is a good boy"

"God will bless you."

Listening to the girl's safety.

A sensible smile appeared on the girl's face.

Under the girl's care, she drank the bitter medicinal soup with a smile, as if she really believed that as long as she took the medicine, she would get the gods. Lord's blessing.

The girl also continued to say:"When you get better, let's go to the mountains to see the cherry blossoms together.""

""Yeah, yeah," the girl nodded.

In this afternoon with the sound of cicadas chirping, the two sisters were sitting on the tatami, in the shrine room, talking about what they should do after recovering from the illness, and thinking about the wonderful things. The future.

Occasionally there will be laughter.

The summer will be sent to a distant place with the chirping of cicadas.

However, outside the shrine, the scorching sun is in the sky.

The rivers are drying up.

The land is cracked.

Even the birds are not willing to stay under the scorching sun for a long time. , flew across the sky and then jumped into the mountain forest.

But the villagers who lived off the land did not dare to leave here.

They squatted on the edge of the field, watching the land crack into pieces, and the products they planted were stunted. Finally, everyone had an ugly look on their face

"The same doesn't work here."

"All withered"

"yes"

"It hasn't rained in three months"

"If this continues, we are afraid that nothing will be gained."

"How are we going to get through this year?"

"……"

The villagers were talking a lot.

They depend on the land for their livelihood.

The biggest fear is that God is not good.

It hasn't rained for three consecutive months, and it's not even possible to divert water from rivers and streams.

If we don't think of other solutions, I'm afraid many people will starve to death this year.

"Go find the Lord God and think of a solution."

Someone suggested.

Others nodded in approval.

The Lord of God is naturally the abbot of the Yae Shrine in Yae Village.

Although he looks no more than thirty years old now, his identity is still respected by the villagers.

So.

In the evening At that time, the villagers came to the Yae Shrine one after another and asked the Lord for help.

Just as the villagers were kneeling on the tatami and discussing what to do, an old voice suddenly sounded.

"Lord God"

"It hasn't rained in three months"

"Please hold another sacrifice!"

Hearing this, all the villagers present showed a look of astonishment.

Everyone looked at the old woman who made the suggestion.

But they quickly realized something, and then they looked at the Lord of God.

"Lord God"

"Didn't we just hold a sacrifice a month ago?"

"Why hasn't it rained yet?"

"……"

"It must be because the girl offered last time was not a virgin, which made the god angry!"

"I also encountered this kind of thing ten years ago. Only by offering a sacrifice of the witch's blood can the anger of the gods be appeased!"

The last two sentences were said by the old woman, but they were recognized by everyone present.

In the Yae Village of Shinano Country, there has been a legend that as long as the children in the village are used as sacrifices, If you sacrifice it to the Fox God, the Fox God will appear and provide rain for the village.

In the past, after every sacrifice, there would be rain from the sky.

But the sacrifice a month ago failed to get a response, it must be the Fox God. I was angered by that non-virgin!

And now if I want to make up for this mistake, I need to sacrifice a sacrifice with the blood of a witch, which is one of the two daughters of the Lord of God!

The girl who was kneeling next to the Lord of God, when she heard this After those words, a frightened pale color appeared on her face.

And the man as her father, the Lord God who was supposed to protect his daughter, gave the answer directly without much hesitation.

"I see"

"Then use Rin as a sacrifice."

"She has been ill for a long time"

"If you can make some contribution to the village"

"She must be happy too."

The man's voice was devoid of any emotion.

But the fear and astonishment on the girl's face could not be concealed. Her voice was trembling, as if she couldn't believe it:"Father, sir.……"

"cherry"

"You will host the sacrifice in two days' time"

"You need to prepare well."

The man stood up and said to the girl in a cold tone.

The girl named Sakura looked at her father in disbelief. She clenched her fists tightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However ,.

The man looked at him condescendingly.

Behind him were the villagers whose expressions could not be seen clearly, their faces seemed to be covered by darkness.

Everyone was waiting for her answer.

The powerful sense of oppression and panic.

Let Sakura just Can lower the head that is looking at it

"yes"

"Father."

Sakura suppressed her anger.

She knew.

She was just a little girl, facing these so-called adults, and she couldn't resist at all.

She could only make a fool of herself, and then take advantage of the darkness to bring her My sister ran away from this terrible place.

She didn’t know where she should go.

She only knew that her sister would die if she stayed.

As a sister... she couldn’t allow such a thing to happen!

She would not let her sister die in front of her. Yes!

So.

Taking advantage of the night, she brought a few rice balls she had made during the day, sorted out the clothes that needed to be changed, and tied the package tightly on her back.

"Um"

"All ready"

"you have to wait for me"

"cold!"

Sakura ran cautiously towards her sister's room in the night.

She recalled everything she had with her sister, the laughter when her sister was not sick, and the joy of going to the market with her.

She also thought of The future after leaving Yae Village, the things that come to mind and the enjoyment of the future

"Wait for your sister to let the best doctor cure your disease……"

"Take you to eat the best food……"

"Then go to the mountain to watch the cherry blossoms together……"

Sakura held out her hand.

It's like trying to seize the future.

But the moment he opened the door to his sister's room, he found that there was no one inside.

Package dropped.

Her expression was dull.

But the man named father appeared behind her

"cherry"

"Why are you here?"

"The sacrifice started early"

"Rin has been taken to the altar"

"It's time for you to leave too."

The man's voice was devoid of any emotion.

And Sakura immediately understood.

These adults had been deceiving her from the beginning!

It didn't start two days later!

The moment it was decided that his sister would be the sacrifice, the sacrifice had already begun. It's time!

Sakura's face was shrouded in darkness.

Under the leadership of the man named her father, she arrived at the sacrifice site with a long knife hanging on her waist. As her younger sister, Rin was helped to place her hands on the altar. Up.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Under the illumination of the oil lamp, she walked up to the altar step by step.

Looking at her sister who was kneeling quietly in front of her, she pulled out the long knife and slashed downwards.

"Uh-huh!"

The rope that tied his sister's hands was cut off.

Rin, who thought he would die under his sister's sword, suddenly opened his closed eyes and looked at his sister in surprise.

"cold!"

"Take my hand!"

"Let's escape!"

Even though she knew it was impossible to escape, Sakura still chose to have no hesitation.

She grabbed her sister's wrist and wanted to take her to escape from this hell.

However, the moment her sister fell, she knew what those adults had done. What!

"it's useless"

"Her hamstring has been severed"

"I can never stand up again in this life."

The man who was supposed to be the father said indifferently.

And the sister who fell on the ground also had tears in her eyes.

"Yes"

"elder sister"

"Rin actually knew it a long time ago"

"so"

"I can help my sister before I die."

"Rin was really happy."

The girl said this.

But there was a happy smile on her face, just like the sensible smile her sister showed when comforting her.

"only"

"sorry"

"elder sister"

"Rin can't go see the cherry blossoms with you"

"My sister must become an outstanding miko!"

Rin said with a smile.

Rin was crying with a smile.

But Sakura was already in tears.

"Can't wait any longer!"

"Uh-huh!"

The man, who is a father, pulled out Sakura's long sword.

He showed no mercy and slashed towards Rin.

The next moment, blood gushes out.

But it was not Rin's blood.

It was the one who was blocking the long sword. Sakura's blood!

"ah!!!"

Everyone at the scene exclaimed.

There was also a look of astonishment on the man's face.

Sakura looked at the long knife that was slashing on her body, but a smile appeared on her face.

Since there must be someone with the blood of a miko as a sacrifice, then why not Is it her?!

"elder sister!"

Rin yelled and crawled over to Sakura with difficulty.

Sakura, who fell to the ground, looked at her sad sister, thinking of her sister's uncured disease, and kept praying in her heart.

"J"

"please"

"save my sister"

"It doesn’t matter whether it’s a god, a fox god, or anyone else, as long as I can save my sister!"

"Sakura, willing to give everything!"

An ancient book that she read in her childhood came to mind in Sakura's mind.

It is said that it was brought by travelers from the distant continent of China. The people of China called it the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the person who compiled it is said to be The immortal god named Zu

"Ancestor?"

"if you could hear it"

"Ancestor"

"please"

"Save my sister!"
