After the favorability rating was 99, I gave up the tour

After returning to the shrine, Higurashi Yutsuki silently took stock of the places that needed repairs.

First of all, there is an area of ​​the warehouse that has not been managed by anyone for the past three years, and the water seepage is serious, making the items in that area no longer usable.But fortunately, it's not a very important item, as long as she takes time to remove the discarded items and throw them away, and then repair the roof.

Repairing the roof is not unfamiliar, but the problem is that the damage caused by water seepage in the warehouse is precisely the tools used for repairing... ok, ok, another expense.

Secondly, it is about the conservation of the sacred trees of the shrine.

Regarding the entire Higurashi Shrine, there is no doubt that the most important thing besides the sacred tree is the bone-eating well in the shrine.Although my grandfather always said that all the objects in the shrine have "great origins", everyone knows that this is just a marketing term. Without the sacred tree, everything else is worthless. Protecting and maintaining the god tree is what the shrine owner should do.

It's just that the sacred tree is a sacred tree, and the maintenance of it is quite different from ordinary trees.Because it will neither suffer from pests nor lack of nutrients, and even the entire Higurashi Shrine is under the protection of its divine power, so Higurashi Jieyue is not quite sure what to do, except for daily feeding. In addition to providing some spiritual power, we can only work harder on Shiliansheng and Yubi.

The so-called shimenawa is a straw rope woven from dried rice stalks, on which paper pendants and imperial coins are added to indicate the boundaries of sacred objects, symbolizing the separation of the gods and the outside world.For Shinto believers, it should be regarded as the most basic and common sacred item.

But what is ashamed is that although Higurashi Yuzuki legally inherited the shrine, she is not a Shinto believer, so this sacred act of drawing a rope and hanging coins for the god tree is like It's changing new clothes for Yu Shenmu.

Apart from the pity that there is no more beautiful "little clothes" to change for Yushenmu, Higurashi Yuzuki didn't have any extra psychological activities for this behavior.

In the end, what needs to be repaired in the shrine is of course the shrine that is second only to the god tree.

The shrine of Higurashi Shrine exists to protect or defend the well of bones.I heard that when Aunt Kagome hadn't mastered her spiritual power well, a monster once took advantage of the unstable barrier in the shrine and drilled out through the bone-eating well, trying to eat her.But later, when my aunt settled in the Warring States Period, the divine power in the shrine was completely stabilized, and no little monsters dared to break in here anymore.

However, the Well of Bone Eaters can be ignored, but the shrine on the Well of Bone Eaters cannot be ignored.

Three years later, the shrine was so dilapidated that it seemed like no one had visited it for ten years.Even if she cleaned it well last night, the dilapidated door leaves and decayed roof beams all needed to be replaced—this was no small project!

In addition to the care and maintenance of the main hall of the shrine, the replacement of some broken stone slabs in the square, etc., these problems all need one thing: money!

money!

Root of all evil! !

Sunset and Moon let out a long sigh.

Foxnosuke wagged his tail and tilted his head to look at her: "Is your lord very troubled?"

Higurashi Jieyue sighed: "Yeah...it's all my fault. I should have known that a place like a shrine needs to be managed well, but I have been staying in Mihua Town for the past three years...if it wasn't That accident brought me back to the shrine, and I didn't know there were so many places in the shrine that needed to be repaired."

Foxnosuke said in a low voice: "It's... not too bad, I was only 12 years old three years ago, even if I want to manage it, I can't help it..."

Rimu Jieyue thought for a while: "That's right. Instead of wasting time on regret, it's better to do something more to make up for the previous mistakes."

Fox's help: "I didn't mean that..."

Higurashi Jieyue continued to think: "Actually, when it comes to money, I don't have much savings..."

Sunset Jieyue doesn't have the habit of saving, and usually spends as much as she earns—it's not because she doesn't have a plan, but because she spends a lot on games.At the same time, she is not penniless. On the contrary, whether it is the property left to her by her mother or the compensation for the car accident three years ago, the amount of money is very, very amazing, and she is lying quietly at this moment. In her card, let her transform into a little rich woman in minutes, even if she can buy a large piece of land in Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive, there will be no problem.

It's just that her tuition, daily and game expenses are all earned by herself. She never thought of using these huge amounts of money that can take her to the pinnacle of life every minute, and often even forget their existence intentionally or unintentionally.

Just like now.

"Whether the money is to repair the shrine or compensate the landlord, it is just a drop in the bucket... But fortunately, there are better ways to make money now." Higurashi Yuzuki turned to look at Foxnosuke, "My current forging How many materials are there?"

Speaking of Fox's help, I'm not sleepy.

It cheered up and reported fluently: "Sir, your initial forging materials are charcoal, jade steel, cooling material, and whetstone, each of which is 500. After that, you spend 50 each of charcoal, jade steel, cooling material, and whetstone to forge short knives, so the remaining materials are 450. And you have completed six major tasks today, and each task earns 1000 each of charcoal, jade steel, cooling material, and whetstone, so your current forging materials are charcoal 6450, jade steel 6450, cooling material 6450, and whetstone 6450. "

Higurashi Jieyue was startled: "So many?"

Foxosuke shook his head: "It's not a lot. Because my lord, you can't always forge short knives! Now that you have a certain amount of savings in forging materials, you can try to forge wakizashi, katana, and even knives. Further swords and big swords! We don’t recommend you to forge guns and naginata, because it costs too much forging materials, and it may not be shipped.”

"'Shipment'?" Himu Jieyue looked a little strange, "Is this...a card draw?"

"It can't be counted like that." Foxosuke said, "Because you are not really forging knives after all, sir, but just providing spiritual power and fusing forging materials. Due to technical problems, when your spiritual power flows to the forging room of Honmaru In the process, there will be a certain loss and deviation, so the finished product of the forging knife will also fluctuate within a certain probability. For example, it is very likely that you originally wanted to create a ichikita sword, and you threw in enough Forged materials, but the final product is a short sword... There is also the possibility of this."

Higurashi Jieyue thought about it for a while: "So it's still drawing cards, and the probability of the finished product depends on the card pool."

Foxnosuke: "...Ahaha, if you want to think so..."

Higurashi Jieyue said: "Then if I really use the forging materials to forge the knife myself, then I should be able to control the finished product of the sword, right?"

Foxnosuke was taken aback: "That...Master Higurashi, the 'swordsmith' we are talking about is just a job title, and you are not really required to forge knives yourself!"

Rimu Jieyue said: "So is this possible or not?"

"But...it can be done...but..."

"Then it's no problem." Higurashi Yuzuki nodded, "I always feel that the warehouse of the shrine is a bit too big. I will add a forging room when I repair it next time."

Fox Nosuke: "...Would you do this too?!"

Higurashi Jieyue nodded: "Yes, it's not difficult."

Foxnosuke was shocked: Higurashi-sama, you really are a decathlon!Why do you know all the knocking and knocking things? ! !It doesn't matter if you repair the roof, but you know how to build the forge room? !What did you do in your previous life? ! !

However, there is no need for a forging room, after all——

Higurashi Yuzuki continued: "However, the cost of building a knife forging room is not small, and it will not be possible to achieve it in a short while. I still have to sell knives to save money... Fox Nosuke, if I want to build a forging room now What do you need to do for Taidao? How much is the acquisition fee for Taidao?" She shook the game console in her hand.

Foxnosuke instantly forgot what he was thinking, and with good business ability, he introduced smoothly: "For Taidao, the basic forging requirements are charcoal, jade steel, coolant, and whetstone. In the case of a sword or a wakizashi later, it can only be said that the probability of producing a Taidao is higher with all 550 forging materials. The purchase fee standard for a Taidao is: D-level 550 yen, C-level 50 million yen, and B-level 200 million yen , A grade 1000 million yen, S grade is priceless."

"Is this directly adding a zero to the cost of the dagger?!"

"Yes! But the forging of the Taidao is very difficult. Not only is it more difficult to improve the level of the forging sword than the short sword, but the forging time is also longer. If the standard forging time of the short sword is 10 minutes, then the Taidao The standard time for forging is 3-4 hours!"

Higurashi Jieyue opened the forging room, and there were two default forging positions in the forging room: "Then can I forge two at the same time?"

"Of course you can, but it is not recommended to forge two swords at the same time! Higurashi-sama, forging swords is an activity related to spiritual power. Forging swords of this level is fine. The spiritual power demand is not large, but the spiritual power demand of the Tai sword It is very large, your current level of spiritual power can only be used to forge two short knives at the same time, but for a Tai katana, one strike is already a bit too much, and the final product is likely to be only D-level."

The sun and the moon have been converted:

Assuming that she spends 3 hours forging knives, if she only forges short knives during these three hours, then she can use two forging stations to forge 18 vibration short knives at the same time, and the cost of forging materials is 900/900/900/900.To be conservative, if the finished product is calculated based on the 9-strike C-level and 9-strike D-level short knives, then in these three hours, her income is 225 million yen.

And assuming she spends 3 hours forging Taidao, then her spiritual power makes her only able to afford the spiritual power of a vibration of the sword, then the cost of forging materials is 550/550/550/550, and if the finished product is D-level, the income is only 50 yen, only if you reach the C level and earn 200 million yen, it is barely better than the forging of short knives (because the total cost of forging materials is less).

So Higurashi Yuyue had the bottom line in his heart: "I want to create a sword!"

Foxnosuke tilted his head: "Why?"

"Because..." Higurashi Yuyue thought for a while, "Tachi is more beautiful, right?"

Fox Nosuke: "..." He was speechless.

After Higurashi Jieyue invested 550 each of the forging materials, he put the game console in his pocket and provided spiritual power next to his body, while he stood up, marinated the meat for lunch, put on his shoes and prepared to go to the shrine After all, yesterday she only observed that the shrine needed to be repaired, but she didn't pay attention to whether the Well of Bone Eater itself needed to be repaired.

The wood used to build the Bone Eater's Well was obtained from the Godly Tree, so if the Bone Eater's Well really needs to be rebuilt, then she has to collect the wood from the Godly Tree... Such things made her a little guilty, so Higurashi Jieyue prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that the Well of Bone Eater would never be broken.

But Murphy's law of "whatever you are afraid of" is very practical in life. When the sun sets and the moon opens the shrine, and looks at the well of bone eating, I feel a little bit in my heart: Oops, this well really needs to be repaired! !

Because it was too dark last night, Higurashi Jieyue didn't know the changes in the Well of Bone Eaters, but today, by looking at the sunlight, Higurashi Jieyue could clearly see that the Well of Bone Eaters was damaged by criss-crossing vines. wall.

Higurashi Yutsuki jumped down the well and took out Tsurumaru Kuninaga from the game console—let's call this imitation "Tsurumaru Kuninaga" for the time being.

Holding this Zhenhe Maru Kuninaga, she tried to cut these vines with force.But I don't know where these vines come from. Their skin is so hard that they can't be cut with a knife without breaking. After grinding for a long time, there is only a thin white mark on the vines. strangeness.

After grinding the knife at the end of the day, she felt a little annoyed. After putting the knife back into the Honmaru knife tent with care, she climbed out of the bone eating well, and was going to go to the kitchen to take out her secret weapon—the bone chopping knife, commonly known as a kitchen knife.

As the chef of Higurashi, she has quite a collection of kitchen knives, and she doesn't feel bad if one or two are broken.

But it is impossible for her to use Tsurumaru Kuninaga to chop that kind of vine! !Absolutely impossible! !

So, Chef Higurashi, no, Higurashi Jieyue, crawled out of the Well of Bone Eating just like that, ready to go to the kitchen to get a knife.

But the moment she stepped out of the shrine, she was stunned.

"This...this is..."

"Where?!"

Higurashi Shrine is still the same Higurashi Shrine.

However, the high-rise buildings, urban areas, etc. that can be seen from the Higurashi Shrine are all gone, replaced by a world covered in silver:

Large tracts of trees, endless white snow, distant cooking smoke rising from the foot of the mountain, and the only building on the top of the mountain - Higurashi Shrine.

Wearing summer short-sleeves and sports trousers, Higurashi Jieyue stared blankly at this strange world that suddenly fast-forwarded to winter.

Finally, she turned her head in a daze, and met the same dazed and shocked eyes outside the shrine.

It was a girl in a pink kimono.Her long hair is tied up, and the basket on her back contains some shepherd's purse and a small amount of truffles. It can be seen that she is a resident not far away.

At this time, the girl in kimono looked at her in a daze, her eyes as beautiful as flames were flowing, she blinked in confusion, and sighed wonderfully: "Are you... a fairy?"

Sunset and Moon: "...No."

The little fairy is not cold, but she is super cold now.

ah-

Higurashi Jieyue sneezed, the girl in the pink kimono tilted her head to look at her, and took two steps with concern: "Are you okay?"

Higurashi Jieyue waved her hand: "It's okay, I—Ah-choo—I'll just put on my clothes." She took two steps towards the main hall, but thought that it would be too impolite for someone to be left outside the shrine in the future, so she Turning to look at the girl in the kimono, she said, "That... do you want to come in and take a look?"

The girl's eyes lit up: "Can you?!"

Higurashi Yuzuki nodded: "Of course. Except for the shrine that is not open to the public, other places of the Higurashi Shrine can be visited." Although it has not been taken care of yet.

The girl took two steps towards Higurashi Jieyue, smiled sweetly and cutely, and said in surprise: "So, is this really a shrine? I have walked here many times, but this is the first time I found a shrine here Woolen cloth!"

Rimu Jieyue felt a little guilty, and said in a small voice: "Actually, this is the first time I have discovered..."

"Ok?"

Higurashi Ketsuki showed an apologetic expression, and naturally changed the subject: "By the way, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself-I'm Higurashi Ketsuki, the current manager of Higurashi Shrine, and I can barely be regarded as the current priestess, you You can call me Jieyue directly."

The girl nodded half-understanding: "I see..." She laughed again, "Nice to meet you, Jieyue, my name is Zaomen Nedouzi, you can also call me Nedouzi directly!"
