Lost Narrative Poetry

"Oh, by the way, Yukinoshita-san, let's go too!"

Xia Ran looked at the girl, extended her hand very enthusiastically, and extended an invitation to accompany her.

"...Do you think I might agree to such a request?" Yukinoshita frowned and looked at the Fengzhu girl who was still next to her. She didn't say anything venomous, but restrained herself very well.

"This isn't a request, it's just a suggestion." Xia Ran said doubtfully.

"Is this the point? You won't forget that we have something else to do, right?" Yukinoshita asked calmly.

"Huh? Book club? Do you want to continue it?"

"..."

"..."

"Okay... either way, I'll go to Moriya Shrine and come back as soon as possible. Yukinoshita-san, why don't you wait here?" Xia Ran coughed dryly and seemed to think about it seriously before proposing such a compromise. suggestions.

The girl with long black hair and straight hair sighed. She didn't really want to talk to this guy anymore, and her mood at the moment was also very subtle. She probably felt that the two of them might really be suffering from a chuunibyou disease, rather than for some other reason.

Yukinoshita had also learned a little bit about this matter, but she had never imagined that there were actually people who could communicate through poisonous radio waves, exchange lines, and speak eloquently and with a serious air.

Things that clearly don't exist can be made nonsense... In a sense, this is something she absolutely cannot do. Of course, she won't admire such a person because of this.

The girl was about to wave her hand expressionlessly to make this dishonest guy disappear from her eyes as soon as possible, so as not to get angry just by looking at him.

However, as soon as he raised his arm less than one centimeter away, Yukinoshita seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Xia Ran thoughtfully - could this person go to that building alone just to make him refuse? Moriya Shrine took the initiative to send out the invitation, right?

So, just a second later, the girl smiled beautifully: "Since you invite me so sincerely, I will accompany you for a while."

Xia Ran's expression froze slightly. There was something wrong with the script. He asked unwillingly, "Wait a minute, Yukinoshita-san, don't you want to be with Yuigahama-san..."

"It's okay. Yuigahama-san hasn't replied to me yet. I can't sit here and wait all the time, right? And I'm waiting anyway, and it doesn't have to be limited to this restaurant."

Yukinoshita shook her head, indicating that this was not a problem at all.

"That is to say, Yukinoshita-san should also go with us. Kanako-sama and the others may give you some protection. This is an opportunity not to be missed..." Tofudani Sanae said with a smile, feeling as if she was doing her best. Preach.

——The protection of the gods?

Xia Ran hesitated a little and looked at Yukinoshita, but the girl gave him a tit-for-tat smile, as if she had completely seen his little thoughts.

"Okay, let's go together..." In the end, he could only sigh softly and glanced at the two demonic artifacts in his inventory.

…

…

The location of Moriya Shrine is indeed not too far from the city center, but it can occupy such a large area of ​​land close to the city center...

Well, it can only be said that he is rich and powerful. Apart from that, Xia Ran didn't have any other thoughts.

Sanae Tofutani was leading the way, and at the same time, she was talking to Yukinoshita Yukino——

After all, both of them are girls and they happen to be the same age, so there are naturally a lot of topics to talk about...and the former has a gentle and simple personality, and is the kind of girl who is easy to get along with. Although the latter seems cold, But in fact, you won’t really reject people thousands of miles away.

Therefore, when Dongfengya Sanae took the initiative to chat, although Yukinoshita's expression was dull, she could not really adhere to the principle of not saying a word. As long as she answered, the rest of the matter would naturally fall into place.

Dongfeng Valley Sanae is very interested in Yukinoshita and wants to get more information about Xia Ran, a similar person from the latter. And Yukinoshita is also very curious about the Fuju of Sanae Tofudani. Not only is she curious about the life of the miko, but she also wants to know how she met someone, and she has been making insinuations.

Xia Ran didn't quite understand what girls' friendship was about, but as he watched and listened from behind, he always had the urge to roll his eyes.

Because these two talents are really not on the same channel at all. They are both fighting against the air, but neither of them has the consciousness to punch the air with their fists, so he doesn't know what to say. .

No matter whether Sanae Tofutani is asking or answering questions, Yukinoshita Yukino often feels that she is a late-stage chuunibyou patient and can no longer communicate normally. She talks about "gods", "unusual knowledge" and other super powers. Realistic factors gave her a headache, and she could neither answer nor agree.

And what about the other way around? Sanae Tofugiya also thinks that Yukinoshita Yukino is very tight-lipped and refuses to disclose anything. Once she asks too directly, she will only shake her head in trouble and sigh with a bitter smile. However, the miko lady is not frustrated by this. On the contrary, I became even more excited.

After all, in the past, the people around her were all ordinary people. Even if Dongfeng Gu Sanae really wanted to find someone to communicate with her about this matter, it was impossible.

——Although the two gods are not ordinary people, she does not want to talk to them about her troubles in this regard, just like a child does not want to talk to his parents about the troubles of adolescence.

Like now, being able to find a girl of the same age who can listen to her tell these things is a development that she has never thought of before.

So the blue and white miko didn't care, but spoke more energetically... However, this also brought greater trouble to Yukinoshita's children's shoes.

In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Xia Ran felt that there might have been a misunderstanding before. When Dongfeng Valley Sanae first approached him, he cautiously asked about Yukinoshita.

Thinking about it now, she was probably trying to determine whether the girl with long black hair and straight hair was a member of the circle, or someone who knew something about the non-common knowledge field.

However, Xia Ran made a mistake at the time, thinking that the girl Fengzhu was asking questions about seniors and juniors, so she directly said that Yukinoshita was the same as him, neither a senior nor a junior, we were all classmates... …

Sanae Tofugiya probably misunderstood. Although she could tell that Yukinoshita-san had no special abilities, she felt that she at least understood the inside story.

The result is what it is now. After Xia Ran roughly figured out the context of the whole thing, he couldn't help but shake his head, but he had no intention of going forward to explain, and it was too late anyway.

"We are here, Xia Ran and Yukinoshita, do you want to pay homage first?"

Dongfeng Gu Sanae's voice brought Xia Ran's thoughts back to reality. He raised his eyes and looked at the shrine in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly. Ordinary people who visit it will probably only feel that this shrine is very majestic and impressive. It seems that just walking into it will naturally calm down and eliminate all distracting thoughts.

However, he was keenly aware of a certain thick and mysterious atmosphere filled with it, as if history had substantively settled down.

——Solemn and solemn.

——Holy majesty.

Even if ordinary people are not aware of it, they will be affected. Just like the people in ancient times suddenly arrived in the magnificent palace, they would naturally behave cautiously and not dare to offend in any way.

"Now that we have arrived at the shrine, we naturally have to pay homage..." Yukinoshita nodded, thinking it would be better to pay homage.

"I don't have any objection, but... I have never been to a shrine before. Could you please tell me how to pay homage?" Xia Ran raised her arms as if a primary school student had a question.

"It's really strange. There is something you don't know how to do, Xia Ran?" Yukinoshita looked at him strangely.

"I know it, but I just read the information and haven't actually operated it. I don't know if it will be a joke..." Xia Ran was very calm.

"Then just follow me, just like when I taught Yuigahama-san how to make cookies, just do what I do..." The corners of Yukinoshita's mouth turned up slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. It seemed that her My mood suddenly became better.

Of course, Xia Ran was fine. The two of them walked to the pool in front of the shrine one after another. They each used a long-handled wooden spoon to clean their hands. Then they held the spoon in their right hand, poured the water into the palm of their left hand, and dipped it in the water. mouth.

After finishing, hold the spoon upright with the mouth of the spoon facing you, allowing the remaining water to flow away from the handle, and finally put the long-handled wooden spoon back to its original position... When completing this step, Yukinoshita stared at her side suspiciously The young man glanced at him.

Xia Ran did follow her step by step, but his eyesight was so strong, his memory was so good, and his imitation reaction speed was so fast that it felt like he was completely in sync with Yukinoshita's movements.

There was no step of comparing and imitating, which naturally made the girl doubt what he just said.

Then, under the leadership of the smiling blue-and-white shrine maiden beside them, the two of them walked to the ridge of the roof to pay homage to the shrine that tilted up on both sides. They bowed, rang the bell vigorously, and put coins into the donation box with wooden lattice. Li Er claps his hands and salutes, and then makes a sincere wish.

During this process, Xia Ran was struggling with what wish he should make. Although he didn't think the wish would really come true, there was a troublesome question -

During this process, the gods can hear the wishes of the worshipers.

He is already proficient in occultism and knows very well that this is not a forced mind-reading, but a occult phenomenon that is jointly constructed by the nature of the god and the behavior of the worshipper.

Because you are making a wish, you must let the person you wish to know your wish. Even if you are taking a taxi, you need to tell the driver your destination... It is impossible to hope that God will realize your wish and at the same time feel this Desires are one’s own personal privacy and cannot be known to gods, right?

Therefore, the process of worshipers making a wish to the gods is naturally a one-sided confession, and the gods can naturally listen.

But it's okay to be in a stalemate all the time. After all, you still have to find a wish to deal with it.

After thinking quickly, Xia Ran remembered the incident with Mephala, and simply made her wish to continue to gain "wisdom" - if she can continue to have two gods in the real world to teach her, then of course she will. The best yet.

"You are really interesting. Should I say you are too bold, or too free and easy?"

A crisp voice sounded from behind, and Xia Ran felt a chill in her heart. She subconsciously turned around and saw a little girl appearing not far behind her.

She wears an outfit based on blue and white, white knee-length socks on her feet, has short blond neck-length hair, and wears a special city girl hat with two eyeballs on her head... On the surface, she looks like a A very cute little loli.

"This little girl is..." Yukinoshita was startled by the voice that appeared behind her without warning, but then her brows widened and she looked at Dongfeng Valley Sanae to ask, but was stopped by Xia. Ran suddenly pulled his arm.

"Ahem, Yukinoshita-san, this is not a little girl, but one of the gods enshrined in this shrine..."

Somewhat worried that the girl's statement would be rude, Xia Ran lowered her voice and quickly explained.

"Xia Ran, we're already here, can you please stop using the script you just wrote?" Yukinoshita touched her forehead and sighed.

"Lord Suwako! Why did you come out directly?" At this time, the blue and white miko also reacted and walked forward quickly.

"It's okay, it's mainly because a troublesome customer came..."

The little lolita named Suwako shook her head and said calmly, then she turned to look at Xia Ran with a strange expression——

"I'm not talking about you, but a very troublesome big monster... I don't really want to waste time with her, so I'll let Kanako deal with it. I'll come out first."

"Big monster..." Xia Ran did not feel relieved because of this, but his expression became even weirder.

Yukinoshita just looked helpless and rubbed her temples. What on earth is going on with these people? Have they rehearsed before? Or have you reviewed your lines in advance?

"Suwako, don't be so heartless. We are not wasting your time, but we are here to find a way out for you..." A sweet and charming voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads subconsciously.

In the open space on the side, a black crack appeared like a crescent moon. Inside, there were strange blood-red eyes staring at the outside world, and a beautiful girl with blond hair sat on top of the black crack.
