Yae Sakura!Beep!

Page 11

Standing on the spot and adjusting her mood, Sakura put on a smiling expression again.

"Hitomi, I may not have time to collect herbs today, so go back and play with Rin first."

She turned around and signaled Hitomi to get off her body and go back to the house.

"Oh... well, sister."

Hitomi looked at Sakura's expression, it seemed that there was nothing unusual, she nodded and jumped off Sakura's body.

"Then Hitomi, my sister is leaving first, you should also take a good rest, don't be too tired."

"Sister, I know."

"Ah."

After explaining a few words, Sakura left with her things.

Standing there for a while, Hitomi looked up at the sky.

The sun was shining, and the hot light was cast down, and even the temperature of the air became a little higher.

After estimating the time, it is probably a few quarters of an hour before noon.

Hitomi jumped to the side of the window sill, without revealing her figure, she quietly peeked into the room.

"Cough...cough..."

Rin was sitting on the tatami, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing lightly.

What made Hitomi not so uncomfortable was that she didn't see any red on the handkerchief.

Jumping back to the ground, Hitomi looked at the direction Sakura left.

Now she has roughly three options.

After listening to Sister Sakura's words, go back to the house, and stay with Sister Rin while resting and recuperating.

Without knowing it from them, he secretly went to the back mountain and came back after picking a rush.

Sneaking up behind Sakura's sister, I saw what they were discussing at the meeting.

After struggling on the spot for a while, Hitomi wanted to go to the back mountain to pick rushes. She was really worried about Rin's condition.

After walking two steps, Hitomi stopped again, she remembered Sakura's depressed mood just now, and the somewhat heavy atmosphere between her and the Divine Lord.

I couldn't help feeling a little bit worried and curious.

Looking at Rin's figure in the room again, Hitomi stepped hard and ran towards Sakura.

…………

noon.

The shrine was full of people, bustling with people, surrounded by the Lord God and Miko who were sitting in the middle, talking to each other, the noise was annoying.

The Almighty was sitting solemnly, with no expression on his face, as if he was listening, but he did not express any opinions.

The witch was also sitting beside the Divine Lord, with the same expressionless face, as if she was listening, but more like she was in a daze.

The pure white little fox quietly hid in a corner on the edge of the shrine. She couldn't tell if there was anything else hidden in her tired eyes. She wanted to fall asleep, but the noise from the noisy people kept her from falling asleep. go down.

People chattered for a long time, but nothing useful came out. A villager with a relatively loud voice yelled twice to ask the other villagers to be quiet before he asked the priest.

"My lord, it has not rained for three months! Please hold another sacrifice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Almighty hadn't responded yet, but the other villagers started shouting too.

"Didn't you just offer sacrifices a month ago!"

"Why hasn't it rained yet!"

It was obviously a question, but the villagers didn't seem to be in awe of the Lord God, and they all used a questioning tone.

"Master God! You have to think of a way!"

"The crops are all withered!"

"If this continues, we will starve to death sooner or later!"

One complaint after another, but the priest and the priestess ignored it.

"Master God, isn't he satisfied with the sacrifice made a month ago!"

At this time, a voice came from nowhere, making the villagers quiet for a moment.

An elderly woman came forward and said in a deep voice.

"It must be because the girl presented last time was not a virgin, which angered the gods!"

The old woman stared at the face of the Almighty to see if there was any change in him.

"I also encountered this kind of thing ten years ago. Only by offering a sacrifice of the blood of the witch can calm the anger of the god!"

As if hearing something shocking, Sakura suddenly raised her head, and she looked at the old woman with a little fear in her eyes.

Hitomi, who had been trying to pull herself together to listen to their conversation, was shocked, and she looked at Sakura with worried eyes.

For a while, no one spoke in the shrine, and it seemed very silent.

Everyone is waiting for the answer from the Divine Lord, which will determine the life and death of their Yae Village.

The air gradually freezes.

"I see."

Suddenly, the Almighty spoke softly.

There was no expression, and there was nothing strange in his tone, as if it had nothing to do with him, he stood up from the ground.

"Father!?"

Sakura hurriedly looked at the Divine Lord, in her eyes, there was unconcealable fear, nervousness, and worry, as well as a little hope.

Standing up slowly, everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on him.

"Then use Rin as a sacrifice."

The pupils could not stop shrinking, Sakura's hands and feet were cold, and she even wondered if she was living in a nightmare at the moment.

"She has been ill for a long time. If she can make some contributions to the village, she will be happy too."

The indifferent voice continued to sound.

The god master stood up straight, he turned around and looked down at Sakura who was sitting on the ground.

"Sakura, you will preside over the sacrifice two days later, you have to prepare well."

There was no emotional fluctuation at all, as if what he was talking about was not his own daughter, but just a small animal he saw on the side of the road.

It took a long time for Sakura to come back to her senses.

The palms of her hands on her legs grabbed the hem of the maiden dress's skirt, and she held it tightly, so hard that her fingertips turned white.

"Yes... my lord father..."

It was as if the sound was squeezed out from between the teeth, and even felt how difficult it was to breathe. She stared blankly at the floor, her body seemed to be shaking.

Glancing at the kneeling priestess out of the corner of his eye, the priest turned his head and stared at her with a cold gaze.

"Ah."

He turned his head and looked at the surrounding villagers with a blank expression.

"Then it's decided."

Said lightly.

"If there is nothing to do, let's disband."

…………

The villagers dispersed one by one and returned to Yae Village at the foot of the mountain.

When all the people left in the end, the Almighty, who had been standing still, looked back at Sakura, and he also walked out silently.

Sakura, who had been kneeling on the ground with a pale face, covered her cheeks with her hands.

Bits of tears flowed from her eyes, no matter how hard she wiped them off with the back of her hand, her feet that were numb from sitting on her knees for too long didn't seem to matter anymore, what did she feel like at this moment All lost.

"why……"

There was a crying voice, soft and small, as if afraid of being discovered by someone, but in this empty shrine, no matter how small the voice was, it seemed very abrupt.

"elder sister……"

The immature young girl's voice sounded from Sakura's messy mind.

She was startled, looked around, and Tong came out from the corner, she asked with disbelieving eyes.

"what happened……"

Desperately wiping the tears off her face, Sakura didn't want to show such an ugly posture in front of Hitomi, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only put on a smile that was uglier than crying.

"No...it's okay...Hitomi..."

"The sacrificial offering they are talking about...what's going on!"

"..."

Speechless, Sakura lowered her head, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop even for a moment.

"Sister too... my sister doesn't know what to do..."

Chapter 15 Chapter 14 An apology that Sakura never had a chance to say

In the evening, the sun gradually entering the western mountain is still reflecting the last dusk.

Holding the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, Sakura fed Rin.

Her complexion was normal, and there was nothing unusual about her.

And Hitomi also lay on the side, staring at the two of them blankly, without making the slightest movement.

"Hitomi, what's wrong with you? You're listless."

Seeing that Hitomi didn't seem to be eating much, Rin asked suspiciously.
