Yae Sakura!Beep!

In this way, will the gods rain blessings?

At that time, why didn't I answer her question?

Probably because I don't know...

With her eyes lowered, Sakura looked at the shadows of the trees reflected on the ground under the moonlight, the branches with fangs and claws, and the scattered leaves, just as messy as she felt in her heart now.

don't want to die...

Sakura withdrew her gaze, and slowly curled up, pressing her forehead with one hand.

But the more this is the case, the deeper the memory in my mind, the more I don't want to think about it, the more that idea will come out.

Is it right, or is it wrong?

Why do sacrifices have to be made before it rains?

Lord God, does it really exist?

It can be said that it was a rebellious thought that suddenly popped up in Sakura's heart.

Her face changed suddenly.

No no no!How can you think like this!

Lord Shenming has been sheltering Yae Village for so many years, how could it not exist?

Quickly suppressing those messy thoughts, Sakura prayed in her heart that the Lord God would not hear what she was thinking just now.

Well, no one knows what I just thought.

A long sigh of relief.

"elder sister?"

Suddenly a voice rang out from my mind.

"ah!"

It was obviously a scream from being frightened, and it became louder in this quiet night.

The hairs on Sakura's whole body stood on end in fright.

"Sorry, sister, did I scare you?"

A pure white little fox jumped in from the window.

"Hitomi?"

Sakura, who was so frightened that she stood up, quickly tidied up her face, and she put on a normal smile.

"Why are you here? Rin, is she asleep?"

Hitomi jumped hard on the window sill, and jumped into Sakura's arms, she rubbed against it.

"Sister Rin is already asleep."

Hearing this, Sakura nodded and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, is the porridge cold? My sister is going to warm it up for you."

"No, sister, I've already finished eating."

Pulling on Sakura's long sleeves, Hitomi prevented Sakura from walking outside the house.

"Huh? Then what's the matter with Hitomi coming to see my sister?"

Saying that, Sakura sat down on the tatami, hugged Hitomi, and stroked Hitomi's head with one hand.

"I'm a little... worried about my sister..."

A soft voice sounded in his mind.

"……Worry?"

Sakura froze for a moment, then reacted.

"Hitomi means, is Rin's illness?"

She continued to caress Tong's head, watching the playful little hair bouncing, she smiled and said again.

"It's okay, my sister will definitely find a way to find the best doctor and cure Rin's illness. Then, we can eat a lot of delicious food, go to many, many interesting places, and go together Seeing cherry blossoms on the mountain, so Hitomi don't have to worry..."

"No! Sister!"

Shaking her head vigorously, Hitomi raised her head, and she looked at Sakura with indescribable seriousness in her eyes.

"Hitomi is here, I'm worried about you, Sister Sakura."

"Eh?"

Sakura was confused for a while, she turned her head, stretched out a hand, and brushed the hair hanging down her ear.

"My sister is fine, is there anything to worry about?"

Speaking slowly, there was a feeling of panic that she didn't even notice.

"My sister is lying! It's obvious that something is wrong!"

An angry voice sounded, and Hitomi stared cutely.

"It's really fine, how could my sister lie to Tong Tong?"

Sakura smiled and continued to stroke Hitomi's head, trying to calm her down.

"In the afternoon, Hitomi secretly ran to see..."

"..."

silence.

The hand that was stroking Hitomi's head stopped again and again.

Sakura's smile was a little stiff.

"I'm sorry, sister."

A low voice sounded, and Hitomi, who was looking at Sakura, lowered her head again.

"No, it should be my sister who said I'm sorry."

She sighed, and started stroking her hands again.

"I'm sorry for keeping it from you, Hitomi."

"It's just that my sister thinks that Hitomi and Rin don't need to know about this kind of thing."

"Because, this is the duty of the priestess. If that's the case, then as long as the priestess undertakes it alone, wouldn't it be fine?"

"No! It's not like that!"

Hitomi stood up, lying on Sakura's body, resting her head on Sakura's chest, feeling her heartbeat.

"In this case, won't it be too heavy?"

"Just looking at it, Hitomi felt that he could hardly breathe!"

A crying voice echoed in Sakura's mind.

"Hitomi..."

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Hitomi doesn't know why it is necessary to sacrifice, why use such a small child as a sacrifice, but..."

"But Hitomi knows that this is wrong, my sister must be feeling very uncomfortable, right, my sister's hand holding the sword is shaking all the time, right, my sister is hesitating, right, my sister... my sister is also crying, right? Hitomi saw it!"

"My sister doesn't need to bear it alone. Hitomi will always be with my sister, whether it's confusion, self-blame, pain or struggle."

"As long as my sister is willing, let Hitomi share a little bit."

Sakura folded her arms around Hitomi and lay on her side on the ground.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes slightly.

"Then Hitomi, just for tonight, let my sister rely on me a little bit, then let's go."

"Ah."

I could feel that Hitomi's head was rubbing against Sakura's chest, soft and soft, giving her a sense of peace of mind.

"Hitomi, sometimes, my sister will think, isn't Tong really a god?"

"Lord God?"

"Well, that is, it is very powerful. It can realize people's wishes. The existence that protects Yae Village is a great existence that everyone can spontaneously respect and trust."

"Hitomi doesn't know... Hitomi, it's not that powerful."

"My sister was just thinking, if there really is a god, then has He been watching us?"

"Then why do you have to use such a young child as a sacrifice?"

"Will the sacrifice really go to the side of the god?"

"My lord, will it really rain heavily on Yae Village?"

Sakura kept asking and talking one sentence after another, without letting Hitomi answer.

She was just, venting, pouring out.

After all, as a Yae shrine maiden, the person named Yae Sakura is just a little girl about ten years old now.

"Hitomi, if..."

The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

Hitomi raised her head and looked at Sakura who was whispering.

"If you are really a god...that's fine..."

She saw that the girl who hugged her tightly was breathing steadily and had already fallen asleep.

Feeling the beating heart, she saw a few crystal clear tears under Sakura's tightly closed eyes.

Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The hope that falling cherry blossoms can't touch

"Sister, what are we doing here early in the morning?"

In the morning, after washing Rin and having breakfast, Sakura took Hitomi to the back hill.

Hitomi lay on the top of Sakura's head, her paws grabbed her hair that was always disheveled, and asked.

"Come find a herb."

Sakura was still wearing the strange Yae Miko costume——in Hitomi's impression, compared to the traditional Miko clothes, the Yae Miko's Miko costume was indeed quite strange.

The sleeves are disconnected from the clothes, not to mention the fact that they are designed to leak underarms. The sleeves are not as wide as ordinary maiden clothes, but are tightly tied around the arms. While the waist is wrapped with a belt, it also The shimenawa rope is tied, which makes this miko costume look a bit sacred, but the hem is cut very short, barely covering the upper half of the thigh, revealing a large section of fair skin , and the calf was wrapped in white knee-length stockings.

Hitomi really couldn't find anything about this clothes that could be related to the priestess clothes.

"Sister, aren't you hot?"

Looking at this shrine maiden costume that was said to be tight but exposed, and said to be cool but tightly wrapped, Hitomi already felt that she was too hot to move.

She's kind of thankful that her hair is pure white, not a dark shade that would have been roasted.

"Eh? It's okay, it doesn't look very hot."

This sudden question made Sakura tilt her head, and Hitomi, who was lazily lying on her head, almost slipped down the slope, Sakura reacted, and quickly raised her hand to support her.

"However, my sister's clothes seem to be very hot."

"Actually, it's not that hot. You see, it's very breathable here."

Sakura smiled, she supported Hitomi on her head with one hand, and pulled the front of her neck with the other hand, where it was loose.

"Oh……"
