The distant bell rang, and the villagers, who had rarely rested, came to the center of the residential area one by one, muttering complaints about someone.

After seeing the witch, they all stood aside quietly, not daring to complain any more.

The village chief, Yamada Dai, stood aside and waited for everyone to arrive before announcing: "Miko-sama, everyone is here. Everyone, old and young, is here."

Select dialogue: "The migration of monsters is about to arrive. The village cannot hold on. I will take you to Shangfucheng. Now, immediately, immediately, go back and bring your belongings. The time limit is half an hour!"

Continue to choose the dialogue: "Disband now! Go back immediately! I will ring the bell again in half an hour! Then set off to Fucheng!"

The villagers listened in disbelief, and then dispersed!

They were noisy: "What is the migration of monsters?"

"I don't know, but it looks so familiar."

"Does it feel familiar to you too? It feels so familiar to me too, so strange."

"Will anything happen when the monsters migrate?"

"I don't know, but let's just do whatever the miko-sama says. The miko-sama won't harm us."

"Should we go directly to Shangfucheng? What should we do with the food? We just harvested it! So much! And it's not like we didn't pay taxes in the first year, it's all ours!"

"Hide it and take as much as you can with it. You should come back later, right? You can still eat it when you come back."

"Hey, they must have been eaten by rats a lot."

"Yes, it's a pity that so much food will be destroyed by rats."

"You are stupid! Didn't you hear the miko-sama say that the village can't be defended? You need food or your life!"

After the villagers left the witch, they rushed home noisily. For half an hour, time was really tight, and they could only bring the most urgently needed things.

Su Gao controlled the miko to return to the shrine and put all the valuables into her backpack.

Finally, return to the cherry blossom tree and check the protective circle aura pool: 98867/10W.

Replenish the spare spiritual energy and try to keep the defensive array alive for a while. Before other villagers come back, the village will be destroyed by passing wild beasts.

While replenishing spiritual energy, at the foot of the shrine steps, a woman walked past the torii gate and stepped into the shrine.

She wears a miko costume and wears a sword at her waist. She has a delicate face, but she is not tall and has a scarce resource.

The woman walked in and said hello: "Sister Qian, I knew you idiot was still in the village. Fortunately, I came early, otherwise you would have been eaten by the monster!~"

Optional reply

①Who are you?

②I won’t be eaten even if you are eaten.

③Hey, who are you!Sign up!

Su Gao casually chose ③.

The woman looked at the miko with a blank expression: "Sister Qian, I didn't expect that one year later, you would actually make a joke."

Calculating that the time had just passed, the villagers still had about 10 to [-] minutes, so Su Gao decided to have a chat with her.

Miko: [Brother-in-law~ This is my junior sister, Takeshita Hirano. 】

Su Gao saw it and thought, okay, I won't ruin the image of the miko eldest sister in her junior sister's mind.

Choose to reply: "I know who you are, just talk to your senior sister and I won't interfere."

The woman's face was full of confusion: "Sister Qian, what are you talking about?"

After ten seconds passed, the gods were removed. The miko moved her hands and feet slightly and answered the junior sister's confusion: "Hirano-chan, it was the gods just now~"

She was stunned for a moment, Lord God?Is it...the one that the companions were discussing?

Takeshita Hirano is the most talented shrine maiden of Asunun Shrine. At only 16 years old, she is already at the level of a third-level great shrine maiden. She is also good at using tachi, and her sword skills are almost perfect.

Not long after Akane Miyamizu became the resident shrine maiden last year, she entered the Imperial City to study because of her outstanding talent.

Recently, through the gossips of her companions, she also learned that another god was born and favored a miko, allowing her to become a divine miko in just one year.

But she was obsessed with practicing and didn't know much about it. When she heard Akane Miyamizu's words, she asked in surprise: "Sister Akane! You are the one who was favored by the gods and got the ultimate shit luck in everyone's mouth. In one year The lucky person who rose from an official miko to a divine miko within a short period of time?!"

The miko also felt that she was favored because of luck, so she nodded stupidly, not paying too much attention to the title.

Takeshita Hirano suddenly became excited, and she shouted: "Kami-sama?! Is Kami-sama still there?! Look at me! Look at me! Can you also favor me!"

The miko looked at the expectant junior sister, hesitated, and asked with some expectancy: "That... Lord God..."

Su Gao said ruthlessly: "No, let's get back to the point and ask her why she came."

2⑤five-five-nine.㈤three-hundred

The witch repeated: "The god said no, and asked you why you came."

Takeshita Hirano sighed and said listlessly: "What else can I do, tell you to go back to Shangfucheng for refuge. The migration of monsters is approaching. I haven't seen you come back at Qianyun Shrine. I thought you idiot, you must be Silly Huhu is still guarding the village, so he came to find you."

The witch said happily: "Well~ let's go back to Shangfucheng together later~"

Takeshita Hirano found that the shortcut failed, and she was a little disappointed. She urged: "Sister Akane, hurry up and pack your personal belongings. Let's go back to Shangfucheng. I don't want to run into a group of monsters along the way. Die young or something like that. Don’t do this kind of thing!”

"I've already packed it up, wait for the villagers."

Takeshita Hirano froze, and she asked in disbelief: "Sister Akane, what do you mean by this?"

The witch was a little confused, and she said again blankly: "That is to say, I have packed my things. Once the villagers have packed their things, we can leave together."

Takeshita Heino was silent, and she said seriously: "Sister Akane, it's too late. If you take the villagers with you, it's too late. From here to Duojing Town, with our pace, it only takes an hour or two, and then return to Shangfu City , only three or four hours. But if we take them with us... it will take at least two days on the road, and we will all die on the road!"

The witch said in confusion: "The migration of monsters should be a day or two away, right?"

Takeshita Hirano took a deep breath: "Yes, it will take a day or two before the demonic beasts migrate to Shangfu City, but it will only take about half a day for them to arrive at Duoking Town!"

The miko stayed where she was.

She doesn't care much about many things now, but if all the villagers she has been protecting die because of her mistakes.She felt that her heart ached.

She should have gone to Dujing Town to investigate earlier.

She should have realized earlier that something was wrong with all of this.

She should...she should...

The witch realized that she had made many mistakes.

Takeshita Hirano looked at the dull miko and couldn't bear to tell the truth in a low voice: "Sister Akane, don't think too much. And...even if you take them with you, Shangfu City will not let them in..."

"These villagers are used to feed monsters."

"When the monsters migrate, most of the weak monsters will stop running after they are full. They will return to their original location, which will reduce a lot of pressure on defending the city."

"When this period of time passes, the city will send people to collect the manure and fertilize the land, collect excess food, leave some rations, and then send the next group of villagers to move in, year after year."

"These villagers are not the best at farming, but the worst at farming. They were abandoned after being brainwashed by spiritual onmyoji on a large scale because they were useless."

Hirano, looking at the shrine maiden who was getting more and more dazed, recalled some of the "politics" he had learned in the Imperial City.

She said helplessly: "In order to save most people, these are necessary sacrifices."

Su Gao listened to her words and confirmed something.

Uesugi Country does not want these "useless" civilians.

But the food grown by these civilians was wanted by the Uesugi Kingdom.

And they also want these civilians to contribute their bodies to reduce the pressure on city defense.

Su Gao looked at the miko who was in chaos and took over the control.

Select dialogue: "No life exists for sacrifice. After 38 minutes, the villagers are ready and set off to Shangfucheng together. If there is danger on the road, we will take action to save as many as we can."

Takeshita Hirano was anxious: "Sister Akane, don't you understand?! Shangfucheng won't let them in! It's useless to bring them there!"

Select dialogue: "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Takeshita Hirano reacted and asked in a low voice: "Lord Kami?"

"Well, get ready and we'll set off together later."

Takeshita Hirano breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more.

The gods had already said that they would take action, so why should she worry about it? She just listened to the arrangements, turned around and left the shrine to urge the villagers to speed up.

Akane Miyamizu slowly came back to her senses, her voice was low and lost: "Brother-kun...thank you..."

"Well, don't panic. I'll have full control this time."

The witch listened to the calm and composed voice, and the panic in her heart gradually calmed down.

With her body under complete control and her mind fully aware, she felt extremely at ease at the moment.

The miko is gentle and sincere: "Brother-in-law, please~"

"And...really...thank you..."

"Thank you for favoring me, choosing me, helping me..."

【It’s great to have you here...】

【like?…】

74.The former miko

Miko, in fact, has low self-esteem from beginning to end.

In her early years, when her classmates at Qianyun Shrine discussed where to go shopping and where to play after class, she always remained silent.

Their family lives in Shangfucheng. Most of them have elders with spiritual powers. Their families are very good. They are all nobles with money and leisure.

And she was just a commoner and an orphan. Fortunately, she met Master Qianyun and was able to survive in troubled times.

When her companions released the fireball technique, she was able to draw Qi into her body and became a trainee witch.

When her companions began to practice spells and swordsmanship, her fireball technique always went out halfway, causing the master to sigh.

While her companions were out practicing and each had their own achievements, she was still learning to draw talismans and recite information about monsters.

When all the companions had achieved success in cultivation, left the shrine, and ran away to the distance, the master said: "Akane, from now on you will be the senior sister in the shrine. You need to take care of the younger brothers and sisters. You can take your time in cultivation and other things." ”

Miyamizu Akane understood that the master had probably given up on her.

She was very grateful to her master, this miko who was both teacher and mother, not only saved her, but also taught her a lot.

But she was too stupid and let the master down.

After that, she worked hard to help teach her junior brothers and sisters, and continued to practice in her spare time.

Finally, at the age of 19, she became an official miko.

She made a request to her master: "I want to join the Jinmae Division to protect everyone."

The master was stunned for a moment, and then she said angrily: "With your level of cultivation? Are you going to protect everyone? Don't hurt everyone!"

Although what the master said was unpleasant, the witch understood that what the master said was right and she was too bad.

From childhood to adulthood, she has spent her time practicing.

However, cultivation never satisfied the master.

She never received compliments and was never complimented.

She never even had a single "success."

This also caused her to gradually feel inferior. She had no foundation for self-confidence.

She longs to be recognized, to become a genuine miko, to be able to protect everyone like her master.

After becoming an official miko, she repeatedly requested her master, who finally agreed, but required her to stay at the shrine for another year before she could join the Jinzen Division.

A year later, before leaving, the master looked at her and still sighed: "Alas..."

"Akane, your character is too soft. Remember, don't get too close to the villagers. And after next year's Prayer Festival, go back to the shrine as soon as possible."

The witch accepted her master's advice. At that time, she was focused on practicing and only wanted to be recognized, and paid little attention to other trivial matters.

She didn't know that the God Prayer Festival was only held in big cities and imperial cities. She didn't know that villages and towns were buffers for abandonment, and she didn't know that all the villagers were abandoned people.

Her life was fulfilling and monotonous, which also made her ignorant and naive.
