I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 29 29. The Dream of the Fool
Faced with Yue's relentless questioning, Mrs. Yoshino just smiled and took out another booklet.The paper of the booklet is made by the witches using magic and special materials. It has a long shelf life. As long as it is carefully maintained, it can be preserved for hundreds of years.

Merely 400-plus years are not enough to erode it into unrecognizable waste paper.The content inside is clearly written, and there are no missing pages.

Witches are not only a race with a strong desire for knowledge, but also a race that likes to record past experiences and knowledge.The powerful witch civilization has been passed down through various genres, and writing must be the most important one.

The notes written with a brush and black ink are the best evidence for understanding the time. It is not easy to get such an antique right away. Even with the magic of partial time passage, it can be seen through the traces and fluctuations of the magic power flow.

Mrs. Yoshino didn't need to make up an elaborate and wonderful story to deceive them. The fact of deception itself was meaningless.The ghost stories are just following the past memories and emotions and repeating what they have done before. Kusaka Reishi failed to find the specific rules in the ghost story and left here, maybe some links are missing.

"Here is all the evidence to support what I just said. You can look through it at will."

"Thank you."

Rui Ji opened the black cover of the diary.The paper inside has yellowed over time, giving off the unique smell of paper.The narrator is an ordinary female townsman who does not know magic, and laughs at herself as a "Muggle" in the diary.

The word Muggle comes from the United Kingdom. British witches are arrogant and relatively small in number. They have a natural sense of looking down on ordinary people who don't know magic, and call them Muggles.

This word was recorded by a witch sent to England by Japan to study culture and magic knowledge, and it was passed back to the country, so ordinary people in the country also began to call themselves Muggles, expressing a strong yearning for magic and power.

The townspeople are the ancestors of Mrs. Yoshino's mother's clan, and they are also one of the subjects who have received the blood of the so-called Goddess of the Mountain.Those neat and elegant words describe the daily life of a country girl whose life is as plain as water and is almost boring to death.

The ancient Japanese prose is jerky and difficult to understand, and the literary talent is very ordinary, so it is very difficult to read. Rui Ji had to use level 1 translation magic to convert the content into modern Japanese reading.

"The adult from Omi must be the heir of God. She has the ability to call wind and rain and save all the crops that are dying of thirst. Today's harvest is particularly good. She said that she is a witch. I don't believe it. There are only gods or gods." Only heirs can change such powerful spells."

The contents of the notes are scattered and trivial, and 80% of them are trivial details of life that are as big as sesame seeds.

Extracting key information from a large amount of meaningless text is also a skill that a scholar should have. Rui Ji has a sense of sight when he returns to high school in the Celestial Dynasty.

"Since Master Hasegawa admitted that she is a descendant of the gods, more and more girls came to the mayor's guest room to look for her every day. Over time, everyone called her the Goddess of the Mountain.

The arrival of the Goddess brought hope to our barren town. She taught us to read and write, as well as some handicrafts of the city people, and conjured up some things that everyone had never eaten before. From time to time, she gave us some beautiful clothes and jewelry. "

The further the content goes, the more it looks like a No.1 romance novel.

Mrs. Yoshino's ancestor happened to be the most easily tempted age group, and hundreds of other girls of the same age fell into the arms of the goddess.The Goddess deceived this group of country folks who had become ignorant due to isolation from the world for too long with clumsy lies, and even "rewarded" them with the blood of a witch.

This is why the townspeople of Asahina Town are all weak witches. Unless a genetic mutation produces an ordinary witch or a great witch, the probability is higher than the probability of getting 3 six-stars in ten consecutive rounds, or not eating 300 wells for a limited time. The probability is still small.

"Tsk... It's really a story that makes one's fist hard."

It is inconceivable that legends and customs based on lies have continued from generation to generation to this day.

Using philosophical theory to analyze dialectically, although the actions of the weak witch named Hasegawa are selfish, they can also be described as despicable. Inheriting the blood of the witch, learning many unheard of skills, changing from a fully closed state to a semi-closed state, she brings both negative and positive effects, which cannot be defined in a one-sided way.

One of the notes changed from the usual cheerful tone to full of sadness.

Rui Ji watched and read, and had a clear understanding of the Goddess of the Mountain.

"The priestess of the shrine told me that I had received the blessing of the gods and successfully obtained the bloodline from the priestess. I told the priestess about this, but she wanted to leave Asahina in the dark. I couldn't stop her, I could only watch Watching her ride a flying broom and disappear into the night..."

The handwriting on the back is almost unrecognizable, probably because the writer couldn't help shedding sad tears at that time, which was mixed with the ink that had not dried up.

In the next few months, the owner of the diary did not continue to record his mood and daily chores, so the story of that year was cut off.The rest of the notes were not preserved, and it is said that they were burned by the owner himself, and now only the oral parts have been handed down to posterity.

"What happened after that?"

Yue and Ruiji asked Mrs. Yoshino in unison.

Mrs. Yoshino obviously knew about the follow-up, she filled three cups of tea and brought the topic to an end.

"Later? Later, everyone felt that it was the fault of a peasant woman. The peasant woman did not let her daughter get in touch with Hasegawa. She was also from the city and knew that Hasegawa was not a goddess at all, but a weak witch with no skills. As a result, this The incident aroused public outrage, including the mayor, who agreed that the lack of tributes made the goddess unhappy, so they left Asahina and left.

Stupid townspeople surrounded the courtyard where the mother and daughter lived and forcibly took the girl away.It didn't take long before the first Goddess Festival was held under the auspices of the shrine master. The poor girl was treated as a tribute to the sacrifice and killed by the elders she had always trusted.The peasant woman went mad not long after losing her daughter, and no one knew where she went.

My ancestor, who is also the owner of this notebook, gave birth to a daughter with the blood of a witch, and took her away from Asahina, which was becoming increasingly corrupt and superstitious, and went to the country of Omi, where I miss every day and night, to find the goddess Hasegawa who I have been thinking about.Finally, I met her again in Owari country.At this time, Hasegawa had already married, married a concubine who was a distant relative of the Owari Oda family, married into the Oda family, and had two little witches with normal qualifications.

She was deeply sorry for what happened back then, but she didn't have the courage to clarify to the person she deceived, just like she fled despicably back then.

At this point, the ancestors realized that the Goddess of the Mountain was just an illusory dream of the Asahina people.Some people woke up from their dreams and searched for a new life on the long road, while others embraced falsehood, and the tragedy continued from generation to generation. "

The old man let out a long sigh.
