I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　...

　　 Coming out of the bathroom, Bai Shuiqiu discussed what she had just thought about with grandma Chiyo.

Chiyo listened patiently, smiled, and said mildly: "Since you have made an agreement with someone else, don't regret it temporarily. Tomorrow morning I will go to the town at the foot of the mountain and find two girls to come over and work for a day. , You and Keiko can go out and play at ease...

　　 As for the recruitment of part-time witches, you are indeed burdened during this period of time, and you need someone to help you share it, but it is true that you must be more cautious in the selection of candidates, as you are worried about.

　　 I’ll look for it first. If you have a suitable candidate, you can also ask the other party’s opinion first. As long as you can help us share the pressure, you don’t need to be too stingy in terms of salary. "

　　 "Well, please take care of grandma first."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

　　 One night passed.

　　 In a blink of an eye, it came early the next morning.

　　 Just had breakfast, Chiyo went down the mountain, walked around the town at the foot of the mountain, and found two young girls back from the homes of several people who were close to each other.

Seeing these two helpers, Bai Shuiqiu breathed a sigh of relief. First, he explained some related matters in the shrine to them. Then, together with the two, he moved the Ema and the like out of the house. Cleaned up briefly.

　　Because they were only temporary helpers, they didn't let them put on witch costumes and work as part-time witches.

Of course…

　　 The main reason is that there have been no part-time maidens in Tenme Shrine for many years, so there are no extra maiden costumes.

As for the ones that Bai Shuiqiu herself wore, although there are a few spare pieces that can be used temporarily, the size of the clothes she wears is a little smaller. It is estimated that even if the two young girls can wear them, they will not fit well, so It's better not to wear it at all.

From another point of view, witches are not as long as they wear clothes. There are some requirements for walking pace, manners, etiquette when greeting guests, and so on, so it takes some time to recruit part-time jobs. Training.

　　 At around eight o'clock, the shrine began to have visitors.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu also received a call from Keiko Kashiro at this time.

　　 After talking to her grandmother, she changed into casual clothes and went down the mountain lightly.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw a silver-gray car parked next to the road. Keiko Kandaro and Ryoko stood on the side of the car door. The latter was pursing his lips and staring at the surroundings, while Keiko Kandaro was watching. He waved to Bai Shuiqiu and greeted with a grin: "Xiaoqiu, here!"

"Ok."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu curled up the corners of his mouth, responded with a smile, then raised his foot and walked over.

　　 The two got into the back of the car side by side.

　　 Ryoko got into the car last, and gave the driver a command, and the car started to ignite and drove over the wide road.

At this time, Keiko Kandaro turned her head, looked over Bai Shuiqiu to the path leading to the mountain, frowned slightly: "Xiaoqiu, how do you feel that your shrine seems to have more guests than before? On the previous weekends At this point in time, no one can be seen at all."

"Yes…"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded: "Because of the video on the Internet, many locals came to inquire about the situation in the past two days, and my grandma and I are a little too busy..."

When talking about this, Bai Shuiqiu paused and then smiled: "So I want to ask you, among the people you know, are there any candidates who are more suitable to be part-time witches...if it is, of course it’s good, but it’s not. It’s okay, I will spend more time looking for it slowly."

　　Because the relationship is already very familiar, she did not sell it, but chose to be straightforward.

"what?"

　　Kamidai Keiko raised her eyebrows with a slightly surprised expression: "So you really have such a plan. I just said it casually last time..."

"…Ok?"

When Bai Shuiqiu cast his gaze over, he saw Keiko Kandaro lowered her head slightly and said in deep thought: "Since she is a long-term part-time maiden, the most important thing is to be reliable. It is best to be someone who knows the details. This can save money. I went to the trouble of running-in with each other, and even if I saw or heard something, it was easy to explain to her.

　　 The second thing is to be smart. After all, the main job is to entertain guests, and the guests of the shrine have all kinds of identities. It must be a little bit of eloquence to communicate with them.

　　Also, the psychological quality is better. It is best to have an understanding of supernatural events. Don’t be surprised when you encounter something..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu did not say anything, but listened to the girl's analysis silently.

　　 The points mentioned by Keiko Kamishiro are similar to what she had thought before, and it is precisely because of the need to consider these aspects that it is difficult to determine the candidate.

　　 When talking about this, Keiko Kashiro paused, as if suddenly thinking of something: "By the way, can Xiaoqiu's shrine at your house provide accommodation?"

"Eh?"

"Since the salary may be slightly lower than those of the big shrines, if you can provide accommodation and three meals, you can make up for this gap. Moreover, let the part-time maiden live with her, and she can effectively observe her. To avoid some things being confided to the outside by her at will, right?"

　　 "It seems to make sense..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu lowered his head for a moment, and said, “There are still some vacant rooms in Tenmoku Shrine. Pick one out and tidy up. The residents should be no problem...”

"Yes…"

　　Kanda Keiko's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly said in a half-joking tone: "By the way, what do you think of me, Xiaoqiu?"

"you mean…"

　　 "It's a part-time witch." Keiko Kandaji pursed her lips and smiled. Although there was a grin on her face, her dark eyes were very quiet, which made people unable to understand her true intentions.

　　 "???"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback first.

　　 Then he looked at Keiko Kashiro suspiciously, wondering whether what this girl said was a casual joke, or was it serious...

　　 In fact, if you think about it carefully, Keiko Kanda really meets the requirements of a part-time witch without looking at her identity.

Needless to say about the reliability, Keiko Kamidai knows her identity as a witch, and has personal experience with supernatural events. She was able to successfully kill Painted Skin when she was at the Hechuan Bridge. This girl played an indispensable role in it. And with her character, she is not a nonsense person.

Furthermore, Keiko Kandaji also has a high double quotient, as well as the ability to perceive words, expressions, and grasp people's hearts. Regardless of the spiritual factors, as an ordinary part-time maiden, all the conditions are not only met, but even beyond the standard line. A big chunk.

　　 But the problem is...

　　The dignified consort eldest lady, come to my shrine to work?

　　 This is too...

Chapter 212 "One Day Miko"

　　 Putting aside the feasibility, this kind of thing is a bit unreasonable from the point of view of reason.

　　As Keiko Kandaro, there is definitely no shortage of this salary.

It is estimated that the pocket money she receives from her father Keisuke Jindai will be worth the income of Tenme Shrine for a whole year. There is no need to work outside, and the only motivation to become a maiden is to be right. I am interested in Shinto culture or the profession of witches, and I want to experience it for myself.

otherwise…

　　 can't always be for free meals and accommodation, right?

　　 Bai Shuiqiu does not think that the simple accommodation conditions of his shrine can be compared to the mountain villa of the Jindai family in the eastern suburbs.

　　 As for meals, not to mention.

Although Keiko has always said that Chiyo’s cooking skills are good, Bai Shuiqiu knows that this girl has a professional team of chefs at home, and she achieves the ultimate in color and flavor for three meals a day. Even the lunches brought to school are very good. Students are much more abundant. Compared with that, there is really nothing comparable with my own bit of thick tea and light rice...

　　 "... Xiaoqiu?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu has been thinking for a long time.

　　Kamidai Keiko looked at her profile with her eyes fixedly, still keeping the smiling expression on her face, and asked softly.

"Forehead…"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu recovered, glanced at the girl's expression, and asked tentatively:

　　 "What Keiko, what you said just now, should be the kind of experience similar to'Miko in One Day', right?"

　　 The so-called "One Day Miko" is actually an experience event launched by some large shrines for domestic and foreign tourists. As the name suggests, the specific form of this experience is to allow guests to put on witch costumes and serve as witches for a day under the guidance of the clergy, and get close contact with Shintoism and the traditional culture of witches through personal experience.

　　 Incidentally, the tourists participating in this "Experiencing Miko" activity are not necessarily all girls...

　　 Occasionally, there will be some muscular men with arms thicker than ordinary thighs, wandering around in the shrine in witch costumes, although they look a bit spicy, but...

　　 Shrines also have rice.

　　Since the guests don’t mind and are willing to pay for the experience, there is no reason for the shrine to reject the guests.

　　 Similar experience activities include "Director of a Day".

However, this has nothing to do with tourists. It is a routine activity in Japan. Generally, the police headquarters in each county will come forward to find popular stars, singers, and idols, and put on police uniforms for a one-day experience. And promotional activities.

　　 can attract the attention of the public and increase the police’s sense of closeness. It can also help idols establish an image of loving public welfare. It is a win-win result for idols and the police. Basically, it will be carried out several times a year.

　　 From Bai Shuiqiu's point of view, Keiko Kashiro should have said the same.

"actually, I…"

Keiko Kamishiro was halfway talking, and he paused: "Xiaoqiu, if you understand it this way, it’s okay, but I’m not on a whim. If possible, I really want to experience the life of a maiden for a while, just like you. Like before."

"I see…"

Bai Shuiqiu immediately understood: "If it is Keiko you, if you want to experience the feeling of being a maiden, our shrine is always welcome, but if you work part-time, there is still a difference. After all, the job of maiden is sometimes very hard. Yes, I have to stand for a long time every day, and it cannot be interrupted whether it is windy or rainy..."

　　 For a girl like Keiko Kandaro, who was born in a privileged background, this kind of part-time job is still very hard. In addition, the girl’s body is not very good. If there is no doctor to look after, in case something goes wrong...

But this reason is not easy to say clearly, so Bai Shuiqiu paused, and changed the subject a little stiffly: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about cultural festivals. It has not been there before. Have you paid too much attention, what is your current plan?"

　　 "This..."

Faced with this question, Keiko Kamidai smiled slightly, took out a thick loose-leaf book from her bag and spread it out to one of the pages: "This is based on our accurate measurement of the length, width, and height of the entire classroom. , A sketch of the shrine-themed cafe designed..."

　　 "There are also human drawings of several main characters involved in this exhibition. This is the human drawing of the witch, this one is for the priest, this one is for the divine envoy..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu listened to Keiko Kandaro's narration, his eyes moved constantly on the loose-leaf book.

　　 The loose-leaf was originally sixteen-open.

The design sketch of "Shrine Cafe" occupies two pages from left to right. Almost every wall and corner of the plan to be placed has been drawn one by one, and there are some small pieces next to it. The text mark and description are enough to show that a lot of thought has been spent.

　　 If Keiko Kandaji hadn't said in advance, Bai Shuiqiu would have thought it was a house plan prepared by a real estate developer.

　　 "These pictures...you drew them yourself, right?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu asked casually.

Keiko Kashiro smiled slightly and said in an understatement: "Well, because I learned a little drawing from a tutor when I was a kid, so I took up the job of a blueprint designer by the way...It's just a rough sketch. In fact, In the eyes of professional art students, it's nothing, and it doesn't take much time to paint."

"Yes…"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu has never understood the profession of painting after all, and he doesn't know whether what Keiko Kamishiro said is true or false.

only…

　　 I heard Keiko Kandaro say last time that her swordsmanship was also learned from a teacher who is proficient in kendo, and this kendo teacher and the tutor who teaches painting are probably not the same person, so...

　　How many tutors did Keisuke Jindai hire her when she was a child?

　　 Bai Shuiqiu suppressed the doubt in his heart, and continued to look at the loose-leaf book in Keiko Kashiro's hand, and soon noticed a certain detail:

　　 "Speaking of...Is it my illusion? How do you feel that the portrait of this witch is a bit like..."

　　 Although it is a pattern similar to simple strokes, the outlines of the eyebrows and eyes drawn on the loose-leaf book are familiar to Bai Shuiqiu, and are seven to eight points similar to her own.

　　 Generally speaking, there is a slight difference between what everyone sees in the mirror and the face seen in the eyes of others. Even a lifelike portrait, it may not be immediately recognized.

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu has only recently observed his appearance through the perspective of a puppet doll, and he is naturally no stranger to this

Chapter 213 How About Trying It?

　　 "Ahem, this is..."

　　Kamidai Keiko coughed subconsciously, trying to turn this page over, but only halfway through the action, he stopped, pretending to be calm, and said:

"Yes, this person design is based on you, because I haven't seen other girls wearing witch costumes. Without reference, it is difficult to draw out of thin air...things on the painting. It's all like this, but I did decide to use your image without your permission before. I'm really sorry."

　　 As he said, Keiko Kashiro folded her hands and made an apologetic expression.

　　 "This way..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu actually didn't mean to blame, after all, Keiko Kashiro was not out of malice.

　　 And the facial expressions that this girl makes now make it hard for people to blame her.

but…

　　 Bai Shuiqiu recalled that he had been in school a few times before, but when he happened to look back, he saw the scene of Keiko Kamishiro scribbling on the notebook with a pencil...

　　 At the time, she thought that this was just a hobby of this girl when she was bored, but looking back now, I am afraid that she has been doing these few personal designs since then?

　　 "Don't worry about these details anyway."

　　Kamidai Keiko introduced a few words hastily, then closed the notebook and said with a serious expression:
