I’m a Witch In Dongying

"Forehead……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu did not answer immediately.

　　 But Jiufeng Shion had already got the answer she wanted from her hesitation:

　　 "It seems that you have not only fought against the ghost boy, but also killed it...

The ghost boy is also a kind of monster that makes human practitioners a headache. Although it is not able to change the skin and conceal the body at will like Painted Skin, the ability to control the infant spirit and the blood of the ghost family flowing in the body is not so easy. To deal with it, you were able to get rid of it silently, which was a bit beyond my expectation...

How about 　　, do you need me to handle it for you?

　　 The carpenter friend I know is not only good at making props for some film and television crews, but also a good hand in making magical instruments. If you want to make the best use of ghosts, I can help you figure out a way. "

　　 "...I will think about it first."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was a little moved by the old monster's proposal, but still shook his head.

　　 The concept of "talisman" is a bit too general. Even after listening to Jiufeng Shiyuan's explanation, Bai Shuiqiu still doesn't know how Guitong's horns can be used.

　　 So, she was going to wait until Suzuki Zhuxi asked before making a decision.

　　 Regarding this, Jiufeng Shion is uncomfortable.

　　 During the chat between the two, other members of the Kyudo Club have come over one after another, including Kurimi Sanae. When the members were almost there, Jiufeng Ziyuan, a consultant, started the rehearsal task of the cultural festival.

　　 Until this time, Bai Shuiqiu didn't know what Jiufeng Shion's "a little bit of change" meant.

　　 To put it simply...

　　 Except for the theme of "the war between the two races of men and monsters", Jiufeng Shion has almost rewritten the entire script.

　　 The original version of the performance script is just a simple war scene, that is, all the members are divided into human races and monster races, and then engage in battle or something, interspersed with riding and shooting performances.

　　 The new version of the script is several times thicker than the original one.

　　 not only added detailed identity settings for Shiraizuaki, Kurimi Sanae, and Ogata, but also added several additional pages of scenes.

　　 The only good thing is that there are not many lines...

　　 It is estimated that Jiufeng Shion also knows that the time is short. If you set too many lines, you may not be able to memorize it, which will affect the performance.

　　 But even so, the workload of rehearsal is huge.

Of course……

　　 If it can be performed, it will be wonderful.

　　 This rehearsal lasted two or three hours.

　　 It wasn't until about half past six that the members went through the whole performance completely. After saying goodbye to each other in the dojo, they dragged their tired bodies away.

　　 Shirasui Qiuya said goodbye to Kurimi Sanae and others, and then left the school gate all the way, got on the car of Keiko Kandairo at the gate of the school, and drove home all the way home.

　　 Business as usual the next day.

But after school in the afternoon, Bai Shuiqiu did not go to the Kyudo Club, but stayed in the classroom of Class B of the year, and participated in the second rehearsal of the "Shrine Theme Cafe"-for Bai Shuiqiu, it was indeed the second time. Because she had only participated once before, but in fact this was the last dress rehearsal.

　　According to the school’s arrangement, the cultural festival will start on Wednesday and last for three days.

　　 However, the performance of the Kyudo Club is scheduled on the last day, which is Friday, so there are two days left for preparation.

　　 But the class exhibition started from the first day.

　　 So, after the two-hour rehearsal was over, the students in Class B of the year started to push the desks in the classroom to the sides and set up the scene of the shrine cafe.

Chapter 287

　　 worship hall, shrine, hand water house, stuffed money box...

　　 These devices that have been purchased a long time ago were placed one by one in the classroom by the students.

　　 The grass-green octopus goddess who played in the last time was also placed in the shrine.

　　Kamidai Keiko even got a set of vermilion red torii models, almost two meters high, and set them up in front of the classroom's main entrance to separate the inside and outside of the "Shrine Cafe". Then outside the classroom window, some painted horses and wind chimes were hung up—

Speaking of which, these emas were purchased from Tenmu Shrine. The cost of these items is not high. They were originally purchased in bulk from other sources by the shrine, with the “Tenmu” logo on them, and they were sold by Shirasuiqiu for a year at a friendly price. In class B, the students wrote some prayers by themselves.

　　Of course, this transaction was carried out in private...

　　 After all, Bai Shuiqiu still doesn't want to promote his maiden status in the class, and the picture horse purchased from Tenme Shrine is slightly cheaper than the market, and it is also a very cost-effective thing for the class.

　　 After these elements that often appear in the shrine are arranged one by one, the entire classroom has become completely new. At first glance, it looks like that.

　　 As the only real shrine maiden among a group of ordinary high school students, Bai Shuiqiu also played a lot in these activities. Together with Keiko Kamishiro, he instructed everyone to put the items in the right place.

　　 When it was finished, it was almost seven o'clock.

　　 The sun has long gone down, and the street lights in the campus are on one after another, but most of the areas that are not illuminated are already in a dark scene.

　　 "Everyone has worked so hard. Go back and rest as soon as possible today. Those who can come here early tomorrow will come early. Then there will be still busy."

　　The squad leader walked to the podium and said a few words. A group of students responded one after another, packed up their things and left the classroom.

　　 When the class was almost gone, Bai Shuiqiu picked up his schoolbag, and, together with Keiko Kandaro and Asuka Hyuga, went out of the school gate and returned all the way to the Tenmoku Shrine.

When Bai Shuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka pushed the door and got out of the car, Keiko Kandaji hesitated, and shouted from behind, "Xiaoqiu, that... the temperature on the mountain at night is relatively low. Be careful when you take a shower. Don't catch a cold." ."

"Ok?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback, then smiled, his tone softened: "I know, so are you."

　　 When she was busy in the classroom just now, she did sweat a little.

　　 And the temperature difference between day and night on the mountain is relatively large, if you accidentally sweat, it is easy to catch a cold.

But Keiko Kashiro’s situation is similar to her. The girl’s physique is already very weak, and the mountain villa she lives in is also on the mountain. In addition, she has the habit of taking a bath every day, so the risk of catching a cold is greater than that of Baishuiqiu. If you get sick on the eve of the cultural festival, you will miss a lot of excitement.

　　 When he heard Bai Shuiqiu's response, Keiko Kandaji pursed her lips and smiled, with her eyebrows curled up.

　　 "I know, thank Xiao Qiu for your concern, then... see you tomorrow, I will come here earlier tomorrow."

　　 "Well, see you tomorrow."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded slightly.

Hyuga Asuka next to 　　 also waved his hand and said goodbye to Keiko Kashiro.

　　 After watching the car in which Keiko Kandaro disappeared at the highway crossing, Shirasuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka turned around and went up the mountain along the approach road.

　　 It was late to return to the shrine.

　　 So after dinner, Bai Shuiqiu did not spend any more time drawing the talisman, but took a comfortable bath, and then went to bed early.

　　……

　　 Early the next morning.

Just after 5:30 in the morning, Bai Shuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka got up from the bed one after another, ate something casually to cushion their stomachs, and then received a message from Keiko Kandai, saying that they had reached the foot of Tianmu Mountain. They both went down the mountain early.

　　 Compared with usual, Bai Shuiqiu and his party set off from home almost half an hour earlier.

　　 When I arrived at school, the sky was still in a dark state, but the weather forecast said it was sunny these days, so I don’t have to worry too much about the sudden rain.

　　If it were in the past, the school at this point of time must be deserted, and there is not much people.

　　 But today, when Shiraito, Keiko Kandaro and Asuka Hyuga walked into the campus together, they saw that the huge campus had become bustling, except for the day-to-day students who were responsible for daily cleaning. Students of all grades have gathered in groups from all directions, and they are busy arranging exhibitions in classes and campuses.

　　 For all major societies, this cultural festival is also a good opportunity for new recruits.

　　 If you can make a big splash in the event, you can also take advantage of the trend to beat the reputation of the club and attract more students to join.

The increase in the number of members means that the funds allocated by the school will also increase. This is the reason why each club spares no effort to include more newcomers. That is also a good thing.

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu doesn't care about it.

Her task now is to use the spare time to familiarize herself with the script and prepare for the final day of the show. As for recruiting new stuff... It is all Kurimi Sanae, Ogata and others, as well as the consultant Kushimine Shion. What to worry about has nothing to do with her, an ordinary member.

　　 On the way to the school building.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu saw on both sides of the aisle, booths were erected everywhere, and display boards and posters were also standing aside, and some booths were also hung with colorful balloons.

　　Especially when stepping into the teaching building, you can see some boys and girls wearing all kinds of fancy clothes walking up and down the corridor, which is very eye-catching.

　　 "The one over there, is it a cos Grim Reaper elementary school student?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu looked at one of the short boys who was dressed as a detective.

　　 "Hmm, it seems to be..."

　　 Hyuga Asuka nodded.

Keiko Kashiro narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the door number of the classroom over there, with a clear expression on his face: "There is Class F for the first year, and the theme they set is anime. Basically all the students are Dressed up as a popular anime character, here, there is a fat tiger over there."

　　"?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu followed the sight of Keiko Kandaji, and when he saw the "fat tiger", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

　　 Even if you have a hairstyle or something, it’s really rare to be able to restore your body shape to this level...

　　 "Speaking of the one-year class A exhibition is a magical girl theme, the costumes and props are quite cute, but why the magical girl in yellow clothes retracted her head under the collar, is there anything special..."

　　 "Um, probably...

Chapter 288: Haven't You Seen a Miko?

When 　　 went upstairs, Bai Shuiqiu kept looking around, his expression was very strange.

　　 Although she had participated in cultural festivals when she was in middle school, it was all a small fight among a group of children. Looking back on it now, she has no impression.

　　 So this time, it was her participation in the cultural festival in the true sense.

　　All kinds of weird pictures came into view, and it was a bit dizzying for a while.

Keiko Kashiro and Asuka Hyuga invariably slowed down at the same time, maintaining a pace close to that of Bai Shuiqiu, and slowly ascended the stairs, discussing a few words from time to time, but the sound was not very loud, mixed with the noisy shouts around. It seems inconspicuous.

　　Kamidai Keiko seems to be very familiar with the shows of each class, just mentioning one is just as precious.

　　 "Ahem, I just inquired about the situation of other classes in advance when I was preparing for the exhibition plan, and then wrote down all the information I got by the way..."

　　 Facing Shirasuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka's slightly surprised eyes, Keiko Kashiro smiled slightly:

　　 "After all, there is a saying in the art of war that'knowing the enemy, knowing oneself, a hundred battles will never end.' Although everyone is classmates, there are also rival relationships among classes. It certainly doesn't hurt to know more about it."

"Yes……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu laughed dumbly.

　　 She didn't expect that she could actually hear the words in "The Art of War" from Keiko Kamidai.

　　 But it’s not surprising.

The influence of Chinese culture on Japan is quite far-reaching, especially in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Japan has learned and absorbed a lot of Chinese culture by sending Tang ambassadors. The shadow of Sinology can often be seen in "Guoxue". For example, the contents of Wang Anshi's Reform have appeared in the college entrance examination papers of the past few years...

　　Kamidai Keiko, as a well-born consortium eldest, is also a talented and honorable student selected from a thousand, so it is not surprising that she has some understanding of Sinology.

and……

　　 The reason for "knowing the enemy and confidant" is also very good.

　　 It’s just that Bai Shuiqiu is a little puzzled, when did this girl spy on these enemies...

After all, she spends most of her time in school close to Keiko Kamishiro, and she hasn’t seen any communication between her and students in other classes. The situation has been touched all over, the ability of this intelligence gathering is really a bit surprising.

　　 Class B classrooms for the first year are located on the third floor.

　　 When they got to the door of the classroom, several girls stopped talking.

　　 At this time, there are four or five people in the class. They are busy cleaning, wiping the glass, and doing the final preparations before the start of the cultural festival.

　　 The main part of the entire exhibition venue has been arranged almost after school yesterday afternoon.

　　 What we have to do now is some temporary embellishment and the work of checking deficiencies.

　　 After Bai Shuiqiu and Hyuga Asuka put down their schoolbags, they also stepped forward to help for a while, and then made a few cups of coffee with a coffee grinder to confirm that everything was normal, and then sat down in every corner of the classroom. When the time was almost up, the curtains were closed, and the men and women changed into witch costumes and priest costumes in batches.

　　 Next...

　　 is waiting for customers to come.

The Kagura dance performed by Shirazuaki and China Hashimoto is the highlight of the exhibition. She doesn’t need to appear yet, so she sat silently in the corner of the classroom, chatting with Keiko Kandaro next to her, while waiting for the official cultural festival. At first, it was a bit boring.

　　 Time passed every second.

　　 I heard a ticking sound from the wall clock on the back wall of the classroom.
