A super traveler in a peaceful world

Bai Yu, who didn't understand why, slowly opened her mouth, while An Luo, with her surprised eyes and the happiest smile so far, slowly stuffed the popsicle into her mouth and touched it with his other hand. He raised his head and said, "The condition is that you let me touch your head, okay?"

".....this......"

The girl with the popsicle in her mouth made a vague sound and was about to pull out the popsicle. When she refused, An Luo added: "By the way, you have already received your reward, so there is no option to object, and I will not give you money." Accept that after all, this is the last one on the island and has become priceless. Unless you can give me back an identical one that I haven't eaten before, or you can give me what I am eating now. I don't mind if you have eaten it. I don’t know if you mind.”

"How, how despicable!" Bai Yu glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger, but still lowered his head in frustration that he had fallen into this trap, and was unable to wave away An Luo's hand after all.

...It feels like teasing, rebellious and cute pets, so interesting!

Enjoying the sense of victory brought by Bai Yu's humiliation and the comfort brought by the soft silver hair, An Luo, who was extremely satisfied with his bad taste, not only dissipated the depression of not achieving anything in the morning, but also felt extremely comfortable at this moment.

It is precisely because of this that even if he is hostile to Bai Yu, he cannot stop this behavior.

But Bai Yu was enjoying his favorite watermelon stick with the humiliation of being plotted, and his mood was extremely complicated.

But An Luo didn't care at all. Even if Bai Yu glared at her from time to time, he still seemed unconcerned and still touched her head, enjoying his trophies. At the same time, he suddenly said: "Actually, even if you give me what you have eaten, , I can’t really accept it.”

"You, you...this is also a plot against me, right!?"

"Who knows? Do you want to try it next time? Haha!" This ambiguous attitude made Bai Yu's previous regret turn into anger, but... there was nothing he could do about it: "This...you guy...! I hate you the most!"

"Really? I really like you~"

Ignoring Bai Yu's anger, An Luo himself took the pleasure of bullying an honest child, left her with a refreshing look, and left with a smile under her piercing gaze.

............

After teasing Bai Yu, he was in a happy mood to return to full strength. An Luo conducted an afternoon inspection seriously, but still failed to achieve any success, so he went to the official office to find a breakthrough from Shi.

But after listening to all the ghost stories on the island at once, Shichi found nothing like him. None of the ghost stories satisfied her.

"..... Let me tell you, Shi, did you remember something wrong? This is all. In fact, your memory has been confused. You should be not interested in the stories of ghosts on this island. ?”

An Luo came to the side of Shi who was squatting in the corner and was even more disappointed than him. Before she could object to his statement, he suggested: "Since the ghost story won't work here, then you can tell me. In addition, there are What goal? What are you looking for?"

"...The shrine." The girl buried her face in her knees and made a muffled voice. The shrine was also her target, but she searched for it on the island for a long time but could not find it.

Chapter 8 Incompetence is the greatest misfortune

"Is there anything in the shrine?"

"have no idea."

"You don't know again? But it's okay. At least there is a target. Anyway, there is only one shrine on the island. Let's go there now. There may be some clues there."

Saying this, ignoring the dilapidated small shrine that no one cared about anymore, Anluola woke up and took her to the island. He wanted to go to the shrine before but never had the chance to go, and placed all his hopes at this moment. At that shrine.

However, on the way...he unexpectedly encountered the white feather of a big fish in the bucket he was carrying after returning from fishing.

"...Abduction?" Because the island is really small, and there are only one or two main roads, it is not surprising to encounter them. Therefore, Bai Yu's face was not surprised, but she was still angry. At first, she wanted to avoid An Luo, but when she saw the consciousness beside him, she couldn't help blurting out what was on her mind: "Have you finally embarked on the road of crime?"

"How do you mean 'finally'? I am a good and law-abiding person, and even if I am the only one who occasionally helps an old lady cross the street, okay?"

"Occasionally?"

"...It happened in a previous life."

"Does that mean not in this life?"

"I'm too busy in this life, I have no choice, and I don't have that kind of opportunity."

Although he said that, Bai Yu obviously didn't believe him, and quickly pulled the consciousness beside him and warned: "This person is a devil, no matter what he says, you can't believe it, no, no matter what he does, he should not believe it." Ignore it! Otherwise, you will definitely be treated as a toy!"

"Hey, Bai Yu, don't you think that's a bit too much? Have you forgotten who just helped you get your favorite watermelon stick?" An Luo didn't pick up the pot, which made Bai Yu stare angrily. Past: "....If I knew it would be like that, I would rather not eat today!"

"You can't go back to the past. It's not a good habit to stick to the past. You should look to the future."

"...This is another argument that has no practical meaning. No one will believe it if you say it!"

Bai Yu stared at him with a sullen face, as if he didn't intend to listen to anything he said, determined to avoid stepping into his possible trap.

But Shi, who was protected by her, took the initiative to come out and sighed heavily to Bai Yu: "Of course I know what you said, but it's too late now."

"late?"

"Well, not only do I know that this man is a devil, but he is also a pervert, a devil among devils."

"...Pervert? Why do you say that?"

"——Because! This person stripped me naked as soon as we met, and even tricked me into eating raw meat with messy things added in it!" As if he had finally found the organization, Shishi suddenly pointed at An Luo and accused him. , which also made Bai Yu look at An Luo as if he was looking at a scumbag at this moment.

"Wait, wait, wait! Shi, you have omitted the subjective thoughts of cause and effect! It is simply slander!"

"...Then, tell me about it."

Bai Yu, who once again had his consciousness behind him, might still have some expectations for him.

"Well, here's the thing. I was attacked by wild boars in the mountains at first. Out of the principle of not wasting food..."

An Luo, who got this rare opportunity to defend himself, omitted the use of superpowers, described in detail the process of his encounter with consciousness, and positioned himself as a complete victim.

In fact, he didn't think he was at fault. After all, if the genders of the two parties were reversed, then he would definitely be the purest innocent or even a victim. Not only was he forced to look at the other person's body, but he was also slandered as a pervert. ghost.

Judging from the initial encounter, he was simply providing some paid help to Shiji, but now his reputation has been ruined. If he is not the victim, who else can be the victim?

For some reason, the three of them headed to the shrine together. An Luo described in detail what happened a few days ago, and the final result...

"An Luo, guilty." Bai Yu, who was walking beside him, made a verdict without thinking.

"I don't admit it, Bai Yu, are you a feminist? Why am I guilty? Are you discriminating against men?"

"This is common sense. Even if it is an accident, you have seen all the girls, and the other person is still a child... If the police see a girl who has been stripped naked at your feet, and that girl If your clothes are still in your hands, you will definitely go to jail."

"...Sure enough, it's hard to be a man. When will a man stand up..."

Faced with this answer that was very consistent with social common sense and could be said to be expected, An Luo pretended to sigh, looking very regretful and disappointed.

But the two girls who were already familiar with him didn't think that this kind of thing could hit him at all. They clearly ignored him tacitly when they met for the first time, and walked quickly towards the shrine, as if they wanted to get rid of him. Open.

This made An Luo, who was asking for trouble, could only regretfully catch up with the bucket containing fish that Bai Yu had been holding.

After passing through the forest, the three of them set foot on the stone-paved shrine. They went up the long shrine and passed through torii gates one after another. Finally, at the top of the mountain, the front suddenly became open.

In the vast courtyard in front of the shrine...well, he didn't know what to call it specifically. In short, the handwashing house for washing hands was in the corner of this open space. Except for the road in the middle of this vast area, which was made of stone slabs, the rest of the area had surface The whole layer is covered with gravel, which is the same as most other shrines.

Although the surroundings are still full of noisy cicadas, when you come to this open space, you feel a special sense of tranquility.

However, compared to the casual way he walked into it, Shiraha was accustomed to it naturally, but Shiki seemed to be a bit too polite when entering the shrine, and would salute when passing through the torii gate.

This scene also made An Luo couldn't help but patted Bai Yu on the shoulder. When she looked over in confusion, he teased: "Bai Yu, are you really the descendant of the witch? I feel that this little guy is more formal than you." too much."

"...Woo..."

Being compared with a stranger, he really lost to him in terms of politeness. This made Bai Yu, who was closely related to the shrine, so shocked that he couldn't hold his head up.

But Anluo didn't stop talking just like that. He pointed to the sign that read "Naruse Shrine" on the main hall of the shrine and said, "This is your shrine, so the name of Naruse is crying?"

"——No, you don't have to worry about it! I'm not a miko anyway! Why...!"

Bai Yu was so angry that she almost spoke the dialect that An Luo was accustomed to. However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped because she realized that something was not right about the situation beside her.

Shi looked along what An Luo pointed and looked at the sign above the temple as if he had lost his soul. Before the two of them could say anything, two lines of clear tears suddenly fell down his cheeks.

The two of them didn't understand why she shed tears suddenly, but they felt that the current atmosphere was not conducive to casual conversation, so Bai Yu pulled An Luo's clothes hard and asked in a low voice as if he was really angry. : "Although I don't know what you did again, I am crying. Please admit your mistake quickly!"

"No, why do you think I did something to her?"

"impression?"

"...It is true that I will give people this impression, but ah!" There was no way to refute Bai Yu's remarks, which made An Luo feel a little aggrieved after a long absence, but he still quickly retorted: "Even if it's me, I will pay attention to teasing people. There is a limit, you won’t really make people cry like this!”

"......That is how the matter?"

"You ask me who am I asking??"

An Luo and Bai Yu started arguing quietly, but Shichi, who was just letting his tears flow, suddenly muttered in a low voice: "...Narase...the shrine...no wonder I haven't found it yet." Here."

"Huh? What do you mean?" An Luo, who heard the voice, subconsciously looked at Shi again, but Shi lowered his head: "...This shrine once had another name in the past."

"Are you talking about the Shenshan Shrine?" Bai Yu subconsciously took over.

"Well..." Shi nodded gently, put his hand on his chest, closed his eyes and said slowly: "I remembered, Shenshan... Shenshan Shi, this is my name. "

"Kamiyama? Are you... kidding?" Bai Yu frowned and said seriously: "Kamiyama's family is no longer here long ago, and I remember grandma once said that Naruse Shrine was over one hundred and fifty years old. It was called Kamiyama Shrine years ago. The reason why it was renamed was because the relationship between the Kamiyama family was severed during the tsunami 150 years ago... Shiki, I think it is very bad to use the deceased family line casually. matter."

"But I am really the consciousness of the sacred mountain."

Shi Zhi looked back with a seriousness no less serious than Bai Yu's.

For a moment, the two people who were originally on a united front to condemn An Luo were facing each other tit for tat, and sparks seemed to be erupting in the center of their eyes.

Bai Yu, who was not good at communicating with others, could be so stubborn. This made An Luo a little surprised. At the same time, he also understood that Bai Yu should be very convinced of his intelligence, that is, the Shenshan family had indeed been cut off, and if it hadn't been like this The Se family should not have inherited this shrine.

So the question arises, what’s going on with the last name? The consciousness is also very confident, and it doesn't look like he is lying at all. The memory is confused? No, you just said you remembered it, right?

After seriously thinking about various possibilities, An Luo quickly thought of another possibility, which was impossible from the perspective of common sense.

To put it simply, Shi is not a person from this era, but a person from the time when the Holy Mountain was not yet destroyed... This is not impossible judging from Shi's retro clothing and the fact that this person has not been found.

After all, according to the information he obtained, the butterflies on this island will cause this situation, which is the so-called divine concealment, which will cause someone to travel from the past to the future, but... it spans more than 150 years. , this level of divine concealment is a bit appalling.

Since the matter was none of his own, An Luo had no intention of persuading him. He just sat aside and watched the two girls continue to argue, learning more about the Shenshan family from both sides.

Of course... to him, many of these are just quite insignificant things.

When neither of them could convince the other, and they were already tired and had a temporary truce, he stood up and took the initiative to test: "Although I think it is unlikely, I know, you...could it be that you were tricked by God?" Yin, did you travel from ancient times?"

"Huh? Why... you ask that?"

Shiki, who didn't expect to be asked like this, was stunned for a moment and forced a smile to ask.

This expression convinced An Luo that she really traveled through time in ancient times, at least in her perception, she came here from ancient times, so she asked curiously: "How about we tell you? How did you time travel to the present?" Is it because of the Seven Shadow Butterflies?"

"...Do you really think so? I came from ancient times?"

Shichi asked hesitantly, because she had actually recalled that she had traveled from one hundred and fifty years ago to the present, and was the last generation of the Kamiyama family, but she did not intend to tell it.

After all, if she said it normally, others would definitely not be able to understand it, and they would even laugh at her.

"Why don't you believe it? I already believe that Bai Yu has the power of prophecy."

"The power of prophecy?" Shi was stunned for a moment, and reflexively looked at Bai Yu, whose face turned ugly. An Luo patted Bai Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you see, I have been with you for so many days. Are everything okay? I think your ability is to see the misfortune in other people's fates, not to bring misfortune. I think this is a great power."

"Huh? Really?... Do you really think this kind of power?... It's great?"

Bai Yu, who had been greatly impacted by his long-standing concept, stared at An Luo with a worried expression. Some people wonder if he said that on purpose and suddenly did a flip while she was happy...

Because from the impression, An Luo would do similar things. Of course, it was too much but she didn't seem to have done it, but...she didn't want to be driven into despair after having hope.

"Of course it's true, and if you say that misfortune is locked and cannot be escaped, I think that is completely wrong. The problem does not lie with you at all."

"Incorrect?"

"Yes, it was just caused by the lack of ability of the person involved. In the case of a prophecy, how could the so-called misfortune come true if it was not the person's lack of ability? So unless it is a disaster that cannot be avoided by human power, then the reason is It must be the fault of the client himself, either he didn’t hear your warning, or he didn’t work hard enough to overcome the problem. In summary, it is still the client’s own problem.”

"But...but...if it's really unavoidable..."

"I don't think there is anything that cannot be avoided. He has been warned but cannot avoid it. It is entirely his own negligence. In the final analysis, it is not just the misfortune you predicted. Almost all misfortunes in the world are due to the ability of the person involved. Incompetence is the greatest misfortune caused by shortcomings. If you have the ability to solve things, then even if you cannot say that you will not encounter misfortune at all, it can greatly reduce the probability of encountering misfortune, because most of them are unfortunate. It will no longer be a problem.”

"But... is it really a problem that can be solved by personal power?" Bai Yu was a little unbelievable, but she was actually greatly shaken in her heart. After all, there has never been a disaster she predicted that was not beyond the reach of human power. changed.

"I think it's okay, and..." An Luo paused and smiled confidently: "Don't you think so too, so you practice swimming at night to avoid the predicted misfortune? "

"Huh? Did I tell you about this?"

"No, but based on your situation, I can basically guess the reason why you said you must learn to swim in the near future. After all, it is very simple. If you have no friends, you cannot have a plan to go to the beach with others. The swimming classes at school are all missed, so why are you so nervous and want to learn how to swim when no one forces you to get into the water?"

"this......."

Bai Yu was speechless for a moment. It was hard to deny being said that she had no friends, because she always wandered around the island alone, and she couldn't confirm whether she was friends with other people. An Luo continued before she could find out the answer: "Now that I've talked about it, can you tell me what the specific content of your prophecy is? It shouldn't be an accidental slip and fall into the water, but an inevitable fall into the water, right? Otherwise, you shouldn't go I won’t go fishing at the beach to practice swimming. If possible, I hope I can help you. I think I still have some abilities."

"...You are really amazing..." Bai Yu, who wanted to say something, hesitated again and again and finally seemed to give up, sighing softly: "... What price do you want?"

"No need, just treat it as a thank you gift for cooking every day and dispelling my depression."

"...to dispel depression?"

When did you do something to dispel An Luo's depression? Question marks appeared on Bai Yu's head.

"Ahem, actually I have the habit of petting the cat at home to relieve stress." An Luo coughed slightly, but did not directly say that he was touching her hair.

"cat?"
