[Tutor] Daydream

Terasaki Anko picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground and tapped it twice, and when it turned on again, she handed it to him: "Yes, otherwise, Sawada-san thinks I'm a ghost?"

"No, no..."

"I think so, boys are generally not afraid of ghosts."

Sawada Tsunayoshi agreed with a guilty conscience: "Yes..."

Terasaki Anko smiled slightly: "So, Sawada-san is really considerate for cooperating with me in such a boring trick. The expression just now seemed to be really frightened."

no i was really scared...

The boy silently swallowed this sentence, and directly avoided her words: "Student Terasaki is also going this way?"

"My nameplate is under the torii gate of Nishimori Shrine."

"Mine is at the shrine... let's go together?"

Terasaki Anko looked at him and said nothing, and Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little terrified by her stare, and was about to say forget it, but she looked away again.

"Okay, I don't feel so scared when someone is with me."

Terasaki Anko folded the map in half and put it in her school uniform, and walked into the woods with him.The path is not wide, and Tsunayoshi Sawada walked for a while and found that Anko Terasaki was getting closer, and quickly stepped back a little to the right.After coming down so many times, he was almost squeezed into the nearby bushes.Just thinking about whether to remind her, Terasaki Xing suddenly slowed down.

"Speaking of shrines... Sawada-san, have you ever heard of the legend of Naemori Shrine?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned——Nishi Shrine?Isn't that the one on the top of the mountain?

"That shrine must have been abandoned a long time ago. I haven't heard any legends about it. Besides," he swallowed, "shrines are usually inhabited by witches. There should be no ghosts, right?"

Terasaki Anko gradually walked behind him, and the surroundings relaxed a lot.Sawada Tsunayoshi hurried back to the middle of the road, and heard the girl answering slowly behind her.

"I heard that there was a witch a long time ago, and she was also very worshiped by the local people."

That's good……

"However, after Bingsheng started to develop, everyone gradually didn't believe in such things. No one visited the shrine, and no one asked the witch to exorcise ghosts. In the end, the witch starved to death without a source of livelihood."

"starve?!"

Why hadn't he heard of this legend at all?And isn't starving to death too hasty?It’s fine to go to another shrine. If it’s not possible, even if you pick wild fruits in the mountains, you won’t starve to death!

Terasaki Anko looked at the stiff back of Sawada Tsunayoshi and narrowed her eyes: "The starving witch was very unwilling, thinking that people caused her tragedy, so she lingered in the shrine and refused to leave. She decided to take revenge on those who could not stick to their beliefs. People, whenever people come here they sing old songs to lull their minds and kill them—ah, what a sad story."

How sad!

Such an old-fashioned story with no ups and downs at all compared to the one that Fujido said is so plain that it has no desire to listen, not to mention that she still narrates it in a leisurely tone similar to "ah, the weather is not bad today" up.Sawada Tsunayoshi's sense of fear was completely replaced by an uncontrollable urge to complain, and even the awkward atmosphere at the beginning disappeared.

"Well, I also heard it from hearsay."

"........."

The two walked in silence for a while, and before they knew it, they had reached the end of the map. Terasaki Anko came out from behind, walked directly to the bottom of the torii gate, picked up the wooden sign with her name on it and put it in her pocket.

"Sawada-san's is still inside, let's take it out together?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, then looked up at the building on the steps.The old shrine in the night still retains the solemnity of the past, and the wind chimes hanging on the trees on both sides collide with each other from time to time, making faint bell sounds.

Maybe it's because I have been exercising for too long along the way, and the fear in my heart has almost disappeared.Sawada Tsunayoshi just wanted to take out the name tag to avoid being "streaked", so he buried himself in climbing the stairs.When the two of them walked halfway, there was another sound above their heads, which was indescribably weird mixed with the crisp ringtone.

After distinguishing for a while, he looked at the girl beside him with a blue face.

No—yes—right—!Could it be true what she said?

"Huh... really there is." Terasaki Apricot obviously also heard the intermittent singing, but what's the matter with the tone of "it's obviously made up, but it really does exist"!And why are you so calm? Isn't there really a ghost?

Sawada Tsunayoshi swallowed, and turned to look at Terasaki Anko.

"Otherwise...let's go back."

"Maybe someone else has a name tag there, so let's get here first. By the way, what is Sawada-san's punishment sign?"

The boy lifted his feet and continued to climb up.

The stairs, which seemed unusually long just now, seem to have been shortened by half, and they reached the top within two steps. The indistinct singing voice is now clearer.His feet were almost glued to the last step, and he couldn't go any further.

Terasaki Anko smiled at him reassuringly, walked to the front and took down the backpack.

"Don't worry too much, I'm prepared."

Sawada Tsunayoshi watched in confusion as she took out one strange thing after another from her bag, and then heard the girl whispering to herself: "Spells, imperial coins, wooden swords..." She muttered while taking it out, Finally, he took out a glass bottle containing an unknown black-red liquid from his bag and turned to him, "And this, the black dog blood I bought at the market, I heard that China uses this to drive away ghosts."

Black dog blood... exorcising ghosts? !

His whole body was in shock.

Why would someone bring this kind of thing out to sleep together? Did she believe in that ghost story that seemed completely unreliable from the very beginning? !And I also got the method of exorcising ghosts used in China... By the way, are there any black dog blood sellers in the market? !

"I'm lying to you, it's red ink." Terasaki Anko shook the bottle, "It's just for imposing."

This is too far away!

No, no, these are not important... The point is, do they really want to use this to exorcise ghosts? !

"Terra, Terasaki-san..."

Ignoring his petrified expression, Terasaki Anko stuffed the coins and charms into his hands, and held the glass bottle by herself: "Let's go, Sawada-san, go ahead, I'm a little scared."

Where is your frightened expression? ! !

The roar in his heart was suppressed without dignity, but he still stepped into the shrine bravely.

The singing stopped abruptly.

The slender figure with its back to them in the center of the hall moved slightly, and the fabric of the priestess' clothes made a slight friction sound.Before she had time to turn her head, the boy had already let out a scream.

"There really are witches!!!"

"Wow—!"

The miko who just turned around was caught off guard, and was splashed on the face by the oncoming unknown liquid.

"I hit it, Terasaki-san!"

The witch stood there in a daze, and suddenly let out a high-decibel scream: "This—what is this!"

"Ah, it seems useless." Terasaki Apricot concluded flatly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi panicked again: "Then what should we do!"

"I don't know either... Ah." Terasaki Anne let out a soft sigh—the miko had already wiped her face a few times indiscriminately, and walked up to her angrily and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"She's angry!!!" Tsunayoshi Sawada nervously waved the coin twice, threw the spell at the priestess again, and then hugged his head to gasp, "It's useless at all, what to do, what to do, Terasaki-san is going to die ——!”

"Yes, Sawada-san, I'm afraid I'm going to die here today." Apricot Terasaki's voice was a little erratic under the shaking of the witch's anger, "If I die, can you do me a favor and inform my parents and tell them My daughter died at the hands of evil spirits, remember to pray for my salvation?"

The panic stopped for a moment, and his heart collapsed again—is this the time to say such things?And why did you have to tell him your last words!

"Anyway, anyway, I'll call for someone first!" His always dull brain finally thought of a suitable solution, and Tsunayoshi Sawada ran out with his weak legs.Seeing this, the miko quickly threw off Terasaki Anko, and caught up with him a few steps and grabbed his clothes.

"Don't kill me!" He was so frightened that he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground, hugging his head and shouting.

"I won't kill you!" The girl's angry voice sounded above her head, "I'm not a ghost, I'm a human!"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his head in doubt. The Miko seemed to want to force a smile, but her face was covered with red liquid. Such a twist was completely unconvincing under the moonlight.

"And then again, why does Tsunayoshi-kun think I'm a ghost!"

- Tsunayoshi-kun?

"You know me?" Tsunayoshi Sawada tried hard to see traces of deja vu from her smeared face.

The witch choked, and stammered, "I... Anyway, I know you..."

"So, are you in our class? Kimura, Kamijou or Noda?"

Terasaki Anko's voice came from behind abruptly, and the witch turned her head to stare at her: "I'm nobody! I just...know that Tsunayoshi-kun will come to pick up famous cards, so..."

"So you came to scare him? I said yes. The girls in our class are not so boring. You heard that our class has a test of courage today, so you deliberately came to scare him? It's too bad, but there are people who died here. The legend of the shrine maiden wandering around the shrine."

But Terasaki-san, you deliberately frightened me on the small road before—Sawada Tsunayoshi silently protested in his heart.

"...Is there such a legend?"

The witch was interrupted by Anko Terasaki, and she didn't know how to start what she wanted to say, so she just choked out this sentence for a long time.Terasaki Anko didn't reply, but shook her hands instead, as if to ease the tense atmosphere just now and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Time is limited, Sawada-san's name tag... I remember it is behind the main hall In the garden, you go look for it first. Shall we go back together later?"

Only then did Sawada Tsunayoshi remember his original purpose, and ran out quickly.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Terasaki Xing was worried and didn't know how to start the topic, so the miko walked towards her and asked aggressively, "I said, are you also time-traveling?"
