Chapter 266
"Going down the mountain~" Laixiang finally put on the muscle ruffles and white clothes that she had carried in her arms again, stretched out, and looked refreshed.

When the two of them had finished their fun and started from "Laixiang Shrine" and started down the mountain again, the moon had already risen.

Without the daylight, the mountains and forests have become dark, but Laixiang seems to be at ease and at ease.

She walked forward without hesitation, holding Hui Yuanchu's hand and leading the way, while reminding him to avoid obstacles, potholes in the ground and dense bushes.

Of course, with a group of cicadas helping to explore the surrounding Huiyuan, there was no need for Laixiang's reminder.

Rather, in this pitch-black forest, Laixiang's grasp of the surrounding conditions was comparable to that of his cicadas, which surprised him even more.

The cicadas told him that the reminders of the incense were all accurate - sometimes even earlier than the cicadas.

"Laixiang, it's so dark around here, can you see clearly?" He couldn't help but ask.

Ibuki Rika replied: "I can't see it. But didn't I tell you that? I am as familiar with this mountain as my backyard, so I know the location of every stone?...Hatsu-chan, be careful, There is a tree root in front of you, you have to jump over it, hey-"

"——Are you a mountain god???"

"Ahaha, this mountain is Laixiang's divine body."

And when the two finally walked through the uninhabited wilderness and returned to the main road, the road became even easier - in the middle of the Senbon Torii Gate, lanterns emitting orange flames were hung at intervals.

Therefore, for the rest of the journey, the feet and the front were clearly reflected, as if they were just walking through a tunnel with orange lights.

The vast darkness outside the road, the mountain, let him go.

Ibuki Raika jumped up and down in the orange tunnel. From time to time she ran to the front corner with laughter and disappeared from Haihara's sight. Then she jumped out from between the torii pillars behind or on the side like a mischief and hugged her again. Ash original.

——In a very good mood.

It wasn't until she walked a few miles and reached a section of road where the torii gates were relatively sparse that she calmed down and honestly held Hui Yuanchu's hand and walked slowly with him.

Until near the four-way intersection, the mountain road turns and protrudes from the cliff, forming a viewing platform with excellent sight lines.

The large lights visible in the distance are Kyoto in the distance.

Ibuki Laika ran over, leaned on the fence and looked at the scenery from a distance. She suddenly turned back to Haihara Chu and said: "Speaking of which, I like Hatsu-chan very much? If Hatsu-chan also likes Laika, should we keep it together for a long time? This kind of relationship?"

"This relationship means-"

"Of course Hatsu-chan offered offerings and came to worship Laixiang, and Laixiang gave Chu-chan benefits in return. This is a pure worship relationship." Laixiang smiled ambiguously, then winked at him, while gesturing.

"But I actually don't have much money..." Hui Yuanchu said truthfully, "The sports car and the villa belong to Miss Zhe... Look, I'm just a soft-boiled guy, right?"

There was no need for him to refuse Laixiang... But he suddenly remembered that if he didn't work, he would have to live on the subsidies given by Miss Zhe and Barbero's feeding...

Laixiang didn't believe it.

But she seemed to be prepared, and held out five fingers with a smile: "50 yuan! Laixiang is very easy to hire. You only need to give Laixiang 50 yuan incense money every month! Even a soft-hearted man will not I can’t even get out 50 yuan!”

"Besides - Laixiang is a professional and will never accept two offerings at the same time." She put her hands behind her back and approached Huiyuanchu, "In other words, as long as Chujiang is willing, Laixiang will always belong to only Are you alone at first? Hehe."

The non-existent tail behind the butt seemed to be wagging rapidly again.

Hui Yuanchu was really shocked by this number: "...Laixiang, since when did you become so easy to talk to? Didn't you come at the price of [-] per time?"

"Hai-chan has misunderstood Laixiang. Laixiang is not the kind of person who worships money. For offerings, the most important thing is not the amount but the intention..."

Ibuki Rika cleared her throat, straightened her back and tied her hands in front of her body. Her expression was serious, but she did have a bit of the sacred feeling of a miko.

She stretched out her hand and pressed lightly on her chest, and recited in an ups and downs: "As long as you are pious enough, even if the sacrifice you offer is very poor, your wish will still have a chance to be heard by the gods."

Hui Yuan glanced at her a few times: "...What if those uncles who want to date you...even though they don't have enough money, kneel down and beg you?"

"Ah - of course that's absolutely not possible." Laixiang said decisively without hesitation, with a strong tone of "no need to discuss" in his sharp voice, "Because for those uncles, what they can come up with is Money is the only value that is useful to Laixiang... ah no, it's the heart. In other words, how much money they can spend is how much heart they have. So even if they kneel down, it's just a false sentiment and they can't be deceived at all. fragrant!"

"..."

"——But Hatsu-chan is different." But the next moment, Laixiang rushed forward to hug Huiyuanchu, and said coquettishly in a soft voice, "Because it's very fun to do it with Hatsu-chan, Laixiang feels that in fact, from Hatsu-chan The 'heart' I got is enough. Therefore, the tribute itself is only 50 yuan for Chu Jiang, and there is a form of offering."

"...You really have double standards."

"No. Because although they are all offerings, since they are dedicated to the gods, in the end it still depends on whether the gods like it or not. What's wrong with that?" Laixiang chuckled, "——Anyway, there are no such things in the world. Is that what it is? Everyone prays to the gods, but only a small number of people’s wishes will be granted.”

Then she stopped and just looked at Hui Yuanchu with a smile, as if waiting for his answer.

Hui Yuanchu looked at the waves in Laixiang's eyes and finally couldn't help but ask: "What exactly does Laixiang like about me?"

He knew very well that Laixiang would pester him at the beginning, purely because of the misunderstanding that he was rich.But now the two of them have been "getting along day and night", and Laixiang also knows that he is actually just a soft-boiled guy... But why did she even offer a "50 yuan discount" in order to continue to rely on her? ? ?
…Anyway, it’s not the reason of “making it comfortable”.

Besides, the Palace Secretary also said that for Laixiang, this kind of thing is just a "ritual".

Ibuki Rika continued to look at him.

"Because... after what I did just now, I confirmed it. Sure enough, Hatsu-chan is different." She said.

A mysterious smile gradually appeared on her face, but her eyes became deeper and deeper: "Well... just tell Chu-chan my secret."

With such a smile, Ibuki Laika walked to Hui Yuanchu's side, stood up on tiptoes and leaned close to his ear: "Laixiang, since I was a child, I will have a special feeling when I am excited."

"It's obviously a small me on the bed. But it seems that at the same time, there is another huge me."

"——It's this mountain. I am this mountain. I can hear every bird chirping, every drop of spring water singing, and every insect digging. I will clearly feel every pilgrim stepping on it. The footsteps on the white sand road, dripping into their hair with the rain and dew, watching them pay homage to the stone tablet of the shrine..."

"...I am this mountain."

"So, what Laixiang said just now is all true. Laixiang knows every plant and tree on the mountain because they are all part of Laixiang." Finally, the girl gently bit Hui Yuanchu's earlobe.

Hui Yuan was a little confused at first.Because to a normal person, Laixiang's words are completely hallucinations and conjectures...

But suddenly, a group of cicadas screamed a warning, and sent him an image - the abandoned shrine just now, and the name of the shrine on the forehead of the old stone torii gate.

——"Laixiangshe".

"Then, that shrine is——"

When he saw the name of the shrine before, Haiyuan was really shocked at first, but he soon felt relieved.

Because in Shintoism, there is the so-called "eight million gods". Every flower, tree, grass, and stone has gods everywhere, and "all things have spirits."

So maybe there really was a god that no one knows about anymore.The shrine called "Laixiangsha" dedicated to this unknown god was indeed built in this Inari Mountain, and was forgotten deep in the mountain forest along with the god himself.

But although this period of history has been forgotten by everyone, it is impossible for the palace secretary of Inari Taisha not to know about it.

And for some reasons, Lord Miyaji gave this name to Ibuki Rika.

This kind of causal relationship should be the most reasonable to explain the coincidence of the name and the name of the shrine.

but now--

Laixiang nodded and said, "Well, after I told Miyaji-sama about this, she gave me the land. She told me to build a shrine for myself."

"Miyaji-sama also said that that place was originally the miraculous site of the earth god who has a deep relationship with Inari Daimyojin, so it is just right for me."

"Of course, because I can't afford anyone to take care of this place for the time being, I just put the name of the shrine on it."

Haiyuan stared at Ibuki Rika suspiciously.

So, it’s not that Rika got her name from this shrine, but that this shrine was really built for her?
And, the reason sounds far-fetched.

...But in this matter, it is impossible for the palace secretary of Inari Taisha to make fun of the sacred land within the territory.

Hui Yuanyuan stared at the confident girl in front of him, and returned his soul to the throne in the center of the cross.

He changed his angle and directed his "spiritual vision" at Ibuki Rika.

The entanglement and extension of the soul fire between Ibuki Laika and the mountain at her feet seemed to be deeper than that of ordinary people.

But only it seems.

Is there a more direct way to confirm?Confirm that what Ibuki Rika said is true. Does she really have some kind of powerful connection with the earth?
...By the way, when did she say her connection was strongest?While with him...?
Haiyuan remembered what Ibuki Rika had just said, and was absent-minded. At the same time, because it was too easy, he unconsciously reached out and began to caress the girl's face that was too close.

Then, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of Laixiang's breathing, and realized——

The soul cicada is stirring.

While he was deep in thought, he unconsciously reached out his hand.

The soul cicada's spiritual tentacles, like his human body, stretched out without thinking and instinctively began to caress Ibuki Rika.

instinct.

The cicadas were incorporated into his soul instinct.

This means that, I don’t know when, the shape of his soul has been——

With no time to think about it, Hui Yuanchu could only focus on the immediate consequences.

The result was - wherever his palm touched, it was hot.

In front of him, Ibuki Raika stared at him with moist eyes, while gently tickling his fingers on the back of his hand.

"...although I don't know why..."

Hui Yuanchu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

...Let’s confirm.Now that we've reached this point, it's time to confirm that.

He made up his mind.

Seeing him nod, Ibuki Ruka smiled.

Then without Hui Yuanchu opening her mouth, she turned her back, bent down and pressed her plump breasts against the railing.
……

Hui Yuanchu, who was on the throne, was controlling the cicadas while solemnly watching the changes taking place in the Sea of ​​Stars.

The nebula of Ibuki Laika, and below, represent the flowing galaxies of the earth, and the flames on both surfaces.

Rise, rise.

Finally it spread over and rushed towards the direction of the other party.

——And at the same moment, in the present world, he raised his head.

Behind her, Hui Yuan couldn't see her expression at first, but he could clearly hear the two simple syllables she suddenly uttered:

"PaPa..."

But Huiyuan quickly realized that this was not Laixiang's business term.

Because Ibuki Rika was staring at somewhere in the dark forest.
