Chapter 149 Sisters
Mitsuha Miyamizu opened her eyes, miraculously, she didn't feel like she couldn't get enough sleep in the past. She supported her body with one hand, and looked towards the window on the left with her clear brown eyes.

The outside world is still gray, only the not-so-bright light comes in through the glass, obviously the morning light has not yet fallen to this rural town.

Since she gradually took over the work of the shrine from her grandmother, she no longer uses the sun as an alarm clock to wake up, and she will get up early no matter whether it is a weekend or not.

After carefully folding the quilt, she went to the closet and took out the maiden costume that had been ironed long ago, but after thinking about it, she put it back in the closet.

"Let's put it on after finishing the sanitation." Thinking of this, she put on a set of sportswear that is easy to move.

She couldn't help being a little amused when she was getting dressed. Jingsuke asked her to buy this sportswear.According to Yotsuba, that person always wears sportswear unless he is in school.

"It seems that he is not omnipotent, at least I am good at wearing skirts." Talking to herself like this, the girl burst out laughing.I don't know if it was because of my inexplicable thoughts, or because I found out that I was better than that boy in one aspect.

If it was the past, Mitsuha Mizuha would choose to wear a priestess costume even if she was a hygienist, because townspeople would come up to worship at any time, and she needed to pay attention to her image.

But it’s different now. First, it’s still too early. Even an old man with little sleep will choose to pay homage after the sun rises because of the dew on the mountain. Second, she is completely different in the eyes of the townspeople. Even if she If all the hair is shaved off, the townspeople will probably think it is the will of the gods.

Maybe if I run for mayor now, I will be successful, and then let that bastard father return to the shrine to continue to be the shrine master, and I will reform Itomori.

While thinking wildly, the girl put on her tracksuit, tiptoed to the corridor, and closed the sliding door carefully.She turned her head and looked next door, which was the room of her sister Yotsuba.This little guy doesn't look like a sleepy child. He wakes up at six o'clock every day when he is studying, and he doesn't know where he got so much energy.

But now it's my sister who finally wins!
Gently opened the sliding door, looked at his younger sister who was still asleep, and the god in the eyes of the townspeople who guarded the town turned into a childish smile.Really, I don’t know if it’s really embarrassing for my sister to stay in bed every day and be woken up by my sister!
Coming out of the backyard of the main house, the girl came to the stone steps of the approach.After taking a look at the stone steps where the top could not be seen, and the red torii gate, she sighed softly.If Hojo Kyosuke was here, he should be able to jump to the top of the stone steps.

Miss Miko, who was wearing a red tracksuit, climbed up the stone steps humming, and when she finally stepped on the last stone step and passed through the last torii gate, the golden morning light also quietly kissed her belt. The snow-white neck covered with fine sweat.

Turning around, the golden sun rises from the mountains, and a light white mist hangs over the dark green forest. Lake Itomori, who has been sleeping all night, seems to wake up. The birds on the shore are flying Then, the lake became sparkling again.

The exhaustion from climbing the stone steps seemed to disappear without a trace at this moment. Mitsuha never knew that Itomori, whom she wanted to escape with all her heart, was so beautiful.

However, no matter how beautiful it is, Tokyo is still better. If possible, I should be a handsome guy in Tokyo in my next life.

With a mischievous smile, the girl brushed her hair behind her ears, which was wet with fine sweat.Under the golden sunlight, the small earlobe seemed to be carved from jade, and it was delicate and green.

She went to the utility room and took out the broom, and she began to sweep the fallen leaves on the square.Although it is May when the trees are full of vitality, the leaves still inevitably fall.So although so many trees look beautiful, the steel jungle without leaves is better.

The girl imagined that she had become a great swordsman, and swung the broom vigorously, sweeping all the fallen leaves together and piled them up.If it was Hojo Kyosuke, he would have called a bunch of hands down to help clean up, that slacker.

Thinking of Hojo Kyosuke, thinking of Tokyo fragments in memory, the boring cleaning seems not so painful.And it may be because of the recent kendo, so the big broom that used to be very heavy is actually very light now.

After cleaning the square, Mitsuha Miyamizu took the broom to the utility room of the office building and put it away, took out the rag and began to clean the handrail of the stairs in the front hall of the shrine, the main entrance, and every carving and carving, she carefully wiped and dusted off.Then there is the front hall, where sweeping must be done more carefully, as the dust raised may be considered disrespectful by the gods.

Sweep the floor, remove the brown high-seat lacquer trays containing various offerings one by one, and bring them to the office building next to the front hall of the shrine, then put the brand-new offerings prepared the day before on the high-seat lacquer trays, and bring them to the The front hall is placed in front of the altar one by one in order.

The removed offerings will be eaten by the maidens of the Miyamizu family, that is, their sisters and grandmother. This is also part of the sacrifice, and it is quite important in the Neon Shinto religion.

But maybe it's a rule made by the gods to prevent the maidens who serve him from starving?Mitsuha Miyamizu guessed like this, and then scanned her eyes up and down to see what did not conform to what her grandmother taught her.

This apple should be facing the door with its fuller side. It seems that the altar was moved a little when it was wiped just now... After adjusting it for a long time, the sun is still pouring in from the window, and the girl with her sleeves and waist is smiling satisfied nodded.

Well, today is a perfect day too.Miss Miko grinned high, she didn't even notice the messy braids.

Putting down her sleeves, correcting her posture, and swallowing a big mouthful of air with the special breath of the morning, Mitsuha Miyamizu's face calmed down. She took two deep breaths, and the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

She bowed twice to the altar, took two deep breaths, mobilized her memory, and began to recite "Shen Li":

"Looking up at the holy god of Gongshui Shrine, I would like to offer sacrifices with sincerity and fear. The great god has a generous heart and gave me food, clothing, and shelter. I will respond to my requests and make my wishes come true. The family is harmonious, and there is no day without family happiness... "

The so-called "Shen Li" is the unique name of the congratulatory speech at Miyamizu Shrine, which is to pray to the gods for blessings every day.So it is still beneficial to run a shrine, at least you don’t have to compete with the believers for the “first stick of incense”. Such prayers to the gods should be easier to respond to, right?
Although I was thinking wildly in my heart, no matter who it is, as long as it sees Miss Miko at this moment, it will definitely feel that it is a happy thing to be able to believe in Miyamizu Shrine with such a Miko.

A girl in a red tracksuit stood in front of the altar, golden light shone behind her, every strand of her hair was shining, and the red and yellow knotted knots used to bind her hair seemed to have a mysterious brilliance.Her sakura petal lips fluttered slightly, and an aria with an inexplicable rhythm came out of her mouth, as if she had communicated with a certain place and connected with a great existence.

Sacred, solemn, cannot bear to be profaned...

"elder sister!"

The prayer to the gods was interrupted by a clear and clear child's voice, and the serious expression on Sanye's face instantly collapsed.

It was time to read from the beginning again, the girl wailed in her heart, but when she turned her head, there was a doting smile on her face.

"what happened?"

Yotsuba's footsteps that were about to step into the front hall stopped suddenly, looking at her sister at this moment, she almost forgot to breathe.

The sunlight coming in from the door created a backlighting effect on my sister's face.As the sun gradually rises, its color changes from golden red to white, and becomes a sacred color that often appears in cartoons.

The elder sister standing in that holy light is very much like a mother at this moment.

When this idea appeared, Yotsuba was taken aback, but fortunately, she finally remembered to breathe, and quickly took two deep breaths.

It's so strange, I was so young when my mother died, I didn't have a clear memory of my mother at all, even her face was only known through photos.

But
When she was about to enter the front hall of the shrine, her mother turned around and asked what was wrong.

Yotsuba wondered if she was dizzy due to the low blood pressure caused by climbing such a high stone step without breakfast, so she felt as if she had experienced such a scene.

In the white light, Clover saw that it was a room filled with an uncomfortable smell.The mother, whose face could not be seen clearly, was sleeping on the bed, her mother's hands, her own, and her sister's hands, the hands of the three were tightly folded together.Mother's hands are so slender that even the phalanges can be clearly seen, but they are still so warm.

"This is not a farewell"

In the white light, Yotsuba saw that her mother's face was so warm.The mother's voice was soft, as if it could be directly transmitted to my heart.She knew that this was what her mother told her and her sister to tell her father.

"Four leaves? Four leaves!"

Yotsuba, who hadn't eaten breakfast and climbed so many stone steps, felt that if she was shaken like this for a while, she would definitely vomit out, so she reluctantly got out of that memory.Strangely, she saw her mother's eyes, the same brown pupils as her sister's, looking at her reluctantly.

"Sister, your eyes look like your mother's." Yotsuba finally understood why she regarded her sister as her mother.

"What are you talking about, our eyes are very similar to those of our mother..."

As she spoke, Sanye's voice dropped.That's right, Yotsuba was so young when her mother died, she didn't remember this at all.But how did she know?Maybe it's from the photo?Throwing this question out of her mind, she decided to fulfill her duties as the elder sister.

"It's just in time for you, Clover, let's recite 'Shen Li' together."

"Ah~ don't."

Yotsuba wailed, and began to regret why she ran up the mountain to help her sister as soon as she woke up. If she knew it, she would have to work alone.Thinking of this, she still walked forward and stood side by side with her sister.

The two sisters took a deep breath together, expressed serious expressions together, and opened their mouths together. The pious congratulations sounded, and the immature and magnetic voices were mixed together, and they sounded in the shrine on the top of the mountain.

"I look up to the Holy Spirit of the Gongshui Shrine, and I would like to offer sacrifices with sincerity and fear. The Holy Spirit has a generous heart, and gave me food, clothing, and shelter, and I will respond to every request..."

Compared to before, Sanye slowed down her tone of voice, worried that Clover could not remember the congratulatory speech clearly, but to her surprise, this little girl actually followed her to read it verbatim.

Seeing Yotsuba's serious expression on her baby-fat face, Sanye's heart was full of pity, and she regretted that she and her sister divided the ownership of the last box of ice cream last night.

This moment is just like that moment. That year, my mother also took me to stand here, teaching myself the words, pitch, pause, and breathing sentence by sentence.

Compared with Clover, I am really much happier.

"From now on, you will be teaching Yotsuba."

At that time, due to the infestation of the disease, the mother's body was already very weak, but she still supported such a body to teach herself various skills and entrusted herself with such.

Mitsuha Miyamizu has not forgotten her mother's entrustment. After losing her mother and father in this family, she is working hard to become a qualified miko of the Miyamizu family.

She thought, as long as I do well enough, the curse of inheriting the shrine will not fall on Yotsuba.

Every day, every year, every year, the girl did not dare to relax at all, and tensed herself all the time, for fear of doing something that was not in line with the status of Miyamizu Shrine's maiden, and would be criticized by the believers.

If I don't do well enough, their eyes will fall on Yotsuba, and the girl has deep fear in her heart.Don't, absolutely don't let this happen.Clover grows up so happily, elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, goes to big cities, enters big companies, meets boys outside, gets married, has children, and never returns to this place for the rest of her life.

Yotsuba must not be bound by this ignorant town, she will take the surname of Miyamizu to the outside world.

As for myself...

It's not bad to have felt the outside world through Kyosuke's eyes and body.

Maybe switching bodies will last a lifetime?In this way, I can help him educate his children.

Thinking like this, the girl who had finished her congratulatory speech walked out of the front hall with her younger sister, and then she had to clean the office building of the shrine.

"Clover, Clover—"

A female voice came from outside, and Mitsuha Miyamizu clearly saw that her sister "perked up her ears" the moment she heard the voice. Although Yotsuba is not a creature like a rabbit, she just had such a feeling .

Seriously, do you like Sayaka that much, little guy?Obviously I'm your older sister, okay? Didn't we all get along so much because of Kyousuke before?Seeing her younger sister who threw down the rag and quickly ran to the door, Mitsuha Miyamizu showed a helpless expression on her face.

"Sayaka, why are you here?"

Stepping out of the gate of the office building, Yotsuba waved and shouted loudly to Sayaka who had just stepped over the last torii gate.For those of them who are so close to the gods, yelling in the realm of the gods will be easily forgiven by the gods. Maybe the gods like such energetic girls.

　I still have it tonight, but I’m not sure when it will be posted. You can watch it tomorrow morning
