This witch is a boy

"It can only be this way."

Matsudaira had no choice but to walk into the Huochuan Shrine. Because it was night, basically no one would come to worship.

Huochuan Shrine is the home of Rei Hino, this sentence is actually not wrong.Because her mother passed away early, her father, who was a politician, threw the young Rei to her grandfather who was the head of the shrine, so she and her grandfather have been living in the shrine, and they became a shrine maiden logically.

The former structure of the Huokawa Shrine was a large shrine. Before the Japanese Shinto circle was repaired by MacArthur, the priests were real priests, all of whom were civil servants. Their salaries and operating expenses of the shrine were also borne by the national treasury.

Later, when MacArthur came to Japan, he said that it is not good for you to practice religion like this in Japan. The church and state must be separated, the government cannot manage shrines, and priests cannot be civil servants. There has been a vigorous reform of Shinto.

Of course, the most important thing for a shrine is that each shrine is an independent religious legal person. In other words, after the MacArthur Shinto order was issued by the Hono family who were the gods of the Hokawa Shrine in the past, the Hokawa Shrine also became the Hono family. .

Hikaru Matsudaira estimated the area of ​​the Huokawa Shrine, and the various cultural relics with a strong history. He said that selling amulets, souvenirs, and consecrated talismans can make a lot of money.

Originally, he was not sensitive to such things, but after his home was gone, if he wanted to buy a house in Tokyo, he had to consider money issues, so he looked at Rei Hino with a strange expression.

"Although the Huochuan Shrine is all real estate, it earns quite a lot of income from selling amulets and souvenirs every year. The mountain behind it is actually a shrine, and it costs a lot of money to sell it to the developer. Although these belong to the shrine, the land deed It bears the name of the God Lord’s family, and its expenses are the responsibility of the palace secretary, and the Hono family has been the palace secretary of the Hokawa Shrine for generations. If you want to get married, hurry up. For this huge wealth, I believe that I will come to propose marriage after the age of 16. There will be many, and there are 280 in the whole country.”

Rei Hino seemed to see through Matsuhira's mind, and said calmly.

"Ahem." Song Pingguang coughed, his face was full of embarrassment, and he wanted to divert the question and asked, "Where's grandpa?"

"I went to Kyoto to attend the meeting of the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, he is not here, but I don't know how to explain to him that you live in my room."

"Live in your room?"

"Of course, there is no separate room for you now."

"But, but, men and women can't bear it..."

"Then you can sleep on the main street. There is a bridge under the shrine, so you can live in the bridge hole. But Xiaoguang, you are so beautiful, if a tramp sees you, maybe..."

"..." Matsuhira Hikaru.

"Is it okay for me to live?" Song Pingguang said helplessly.

Hino Rei showed a satisfied smile.

…………

Rei Hino's bed was very soft, and even had her fragrance. The girl's room had a strong style. As soon as Matsuhira sat down, she felt like she was sitting on a needle blanket, and her whole body was restless.

If he hadn't heard from the girl named Gui Julan that his sister was fine, otherwise he would have been restless at that time.

But it was different from the fidgeting in Hino Rei's room.

Rei Hino seems to have just showered, her hair is still wet, draped behind her back, wrung dry with a towel, and she is wearing her school uniform.

Wearing a black coat, under the black-toned pleated skirt are stockings and flat leather shoes. Between the stockings and the short skirt, you can see the healthy thighs, shining under the light.

"Sister Li, why are you dressed like this?"

Hikaru Matsuhira asked, his voice was trembling, and he even saw the greasy and black lace underwear on Rei Hino's chest crying out on purpose.

Strange, too strange, why would you dress like this.

The Hino Rei he knew usually didn't pay much attention to her clothes, or she was inherently beautiful, she looked good no matter what she wore, she was just a clothes hanger.

So even simple school uniforms, casual clothes, and priestess clothes can bring out her natural beauty, but why did she dress like this.

Rei Hino didn't answer, her hair seemed to be drying soon.Put down the hair dryer and walk over.

Song Pingguang hugged his chest subconsciously, trying to avoid it. The current sister Li is obviously not right, and it is too sensational to dress like this.

"Xiaoguang, you know that my dream is to become the head of the shrine and inherit the Hino family, right?"

Rei Hino said solemnly suddenly, looking at Hikari Matsuhira with serious eyes, even though he could feel Li's nervousness.

"Yeah, I know Sister Li's dream, and I support it." Song Pingguang is not an idiot, it's all like this, how could he still not understand.

"Well, then you should support it to the end. You should understand that women cannot become god masters. If you want to inherit the Hino family, you must be a boy, so please marry me and inherit the shrine together."

Li Hino lowered her head even lower, revealing the scenery on her chest, she was not like her usual sister Li.

"Sister Li, I..."

"Don't call me that in the future, just call me Li, or Xiaoli..."

"Li, is it because of that girl? I saw it. When you came to me before, your maiden uniform seemed to have been chopped off by a sharp weapon. That's why you took a shower and changed as soon as you came back."

Hino Rei's face changed, and Matsuhira said calmly, "You and your sister seem to know something and are deliberately hiding it from me. Even if you really get married, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

"So, please tell me what happened?"

Matsuhira really wanted to know what was going on, especially about himself.

Chapter 11 The Story of Bamboo

"Xiaoguang, do you still remember your family background?"

Rei Hino also got on the bed and looked at Matsuhira Hikaru.

"The old Chinese, the daimyo of the samurai family, used to be a public official, but later became a samurai. He was promoted by virtue of his in-laws. He only has [-] shi."

When Matsudaira mentioned his origin, he didn't mean to be proud at all. Japanese daimyo, if they were in China, would usually be translated as "vassal princes".

On the surface, it really looks like it. First of all, it has its own army, its own land and people, and its own city. independent country.

You said that this is not a prince, what is a prince can completely meet the Chinese definition of a prince.Uh, except that the territory is a bit small, but it doesn't matter, it's better than those princes in Grimm's fairy tales.

However, unlike other daimyo families with illustrious military feats, the Yuzawa family's daimyo status was actually obtained through connections through the general's back door.

A big name like the Yuzawa family had an income of about 250 shi in the Edo period, and there were about 600 million catties of brown rice per year. The current rice price is two or three yuan, and it is only five or six million yuan a year.

Uh, it seems like a lot, but don't forget that the Yuzawa family is a daimyo, a vassal, and one of the three hundred daimyos who rule Japan.

Five or six million yuan a year, to be honest, Matsuhira thinks that the fifteen or six villages under his control, with a population of three or four thousand, will start the gaming industry or engage in the custom industry, and the money will come. ?

Rule three to four thousand people, fifteen or sixteen villages, this site, uh, the land is a bit small, the people are a bit small, but after all, it belongs to its own site.

Hikaru Matsuhira felt that his ancestors' brains were too dull. What can they do with 600 million yuan a year? Thanks for being a big name, I went to open a custom hotel and earned it back in a month.

Matsuhira was very embarrassed, and suddenly felt that his family was really down and out. No matter how poor Edo used to be, there were five or six million yuan, more than 600 soldiers, and fifteen or sixteen villages. Now I look at Rei Hino, Immediately, I felt that my childhood sweetheart was really Bai Fumei.

In the Meiji Restoration, the Yuzawa family was a viscount, and the Hino family was a baron, but this seemed useless, and the aristocratic system was abolished by MacArthur.

Now the house is gone, and I am so destitute that I am about to sleep on the street.

"I'm not talking about your father's house, but your mother's house. Do you remember your mother's name?"

Rei Hino was also in a hurry, asking you seriously, why are you still thinking wildly.

"Forget, I forgot what my mother's old last name was, because I was too young when my mother died, maybe my sister knows."

Hikaru Matsudaira shook his head. After his mother married into Yu Ze's family, she followed the tradition and took the surname Yu Ze.

"Your mother is a well-known clergyman. She used to be a maiden of Atsuta Jingu Shrine. She has been a maiden of Tiantian maiden for generations. Therefore, according to fate, your sister must become a maiden."

Rei Hino was sitting in front of him. The story of Hikaru Matsuhira's mother had been widely spread back then. The priestess of the net rank had already held a sixth-level teaching position. If she was willing to wait, it was basically a certainty to enter the main hall of the shrine. But I didn't expect to marry suddenly in the end.

"My sister is going to be a priestess."

Matsuhira is not surprised, his mother's family has been in the clergy for generations, he has known it for a long time, but what's the point of Li talking about it now.

"However, you are the one who wants to be a witch in this age. This is the royal order of Jingu Saiwang, and you have been appointed."

"What, I'll do it."

"That's right, so if you don't want to be a witch, you have to inherit the Hino family with me. As long as you become a priest and make it an established fact, there is nothing the Jingu can do."

Hino Li said solemnly, Matsuhira was stunned for a while, then reacted, and said, "How can this be, let alone I am a boy, how can I be a witch, the important thing is, how can I make you sacrifice for me, this is not allowed. "

Hino Li looked at her childhood sweetheart who had reacted and said seriously, "It is an inevitable fact that the Hino family will inherit, because there is no heir, and I have said before that I do not exclude you, so if I want to get married, I will hope it is you instead. "

"Why me, because I am your childhood sweetheart."

Matsuhira wondered why it was him. He always regarded Rei Hino as his older sister, and he also thought that Rei regarded him as his younger brother.

"No, why."

Rei Hino shook her head and said, seeing Matsuhira's confused eyes, she quickly said, "Wait for me..."

Rei Hino put on her shoes, found a small box in her closet, and found a somewhat worn-out storybook from inside. It looked carefully protected, and Rei Hino valued this book very much.

"This is "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", a story from a long time ago. Zi Shibu said that this is an allusion among allusions. When I was a child, my mother told me the story of Kaguya Ji. Princess Moon always wants to return to the sky. belong to the world."

Rei Hino was holding a storybook in her hand, her eyes were shining strangely, she was very beautiful, Hikari Matsuhira didn't know what she wanted to say, but suddenly found that Rei holding a storybook was really beautiful.

"My mother is also the daughter of the Shinto family. Marrying my father was a good match, but because my father devoted himself to political activities, the status of the two people began to differ. It's like the moon princess and the princess who are going to return to the sky in the end. Like those who admire her."

"My father started to be bothered and didn't go home all year round. My mother always waited for him silently, hoping that he could go home, but in the end it became a luxury."

"That man, he was the one who refused to go home even when my mother died."

When Hino Rei said this, tears fell, Matsuhira bit his lips tightly, and he realized that he had never understood Hino Rei.

I just know that she is very smart and strong, and she is so indifferent to anyone, without false words.

But now Rei Hino was crying in front of her, so weak, completely different from how she usually behaved to outsiders.

"I don't believe in love, and I reject all men who want to get close to me. Because I always think of my mother. If I get married in the future, will I be like my mother, who is about to die and her husband is still not here. around..."

Even though Rei Hino spoke calmly, Matsuhiro could feel the pain in her heart, as if using it to gouge out her heart, bit by bit, and pretended to be calm.

"No, Li, as long as you need it, no matter where I am, I will come to you."

Song Pingguang looked at the lonely Li and promised that such a poor Li was not what he wanted to see, and she should be happy even though she was indifferent on weekdays.

"Well, thank you, that's why I chose you, thank you for agreeing."

Hino Rei hugged her, and the fragrance on her body passed over. Matsuhira Hikaru felt the warm breath of the other party, but he didn't react for a while.

I promised?

What did I promise?

When did I say yes?

There were many thoughts in Songpingguang's mind. What he promised just now was just ordinary words.

Just as Matsudaira was about to explain, he saw Hino Rei hugging him with a happy face, completely different from the frail and crying look just now.

Forget it, if it can make Li happy, then it's just as if she agreed.

Chapter 12

Huochuan Shrine is also a well-known shrine in Tokyo because it enshrines the two husband and wife gods, Susano and his wife Ki Inada Hime.

Matsuhira walked out of the room and looked at the main hall of the shrine where the Hikawa Shrine is located.Two old people who came to worship are walking leisurely there, and the birds are walking here as if no one else is there. There are also couples who come here to pray for marriage, or single dogs who hope to have a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Rei Hino was busy cleaning the steps in a priestess costume. Today was the weekend, so Rei and he didn't think about going to school today.

Thinking of his own house, Matsuhira immediately became unhappy.Although an amiable police uncle said, don't worry, we will take care of your refrigerator and other electrical appliances for you, but the local mayor is worried that the local area has no characteristics and attracts tourists.

Matsuhira was helpless, this was a bit embarrassing, co-authored that his home was turned into a tourist attraction by the locals, no wonder the online publicity made it so popular.

"Xiaoguang, make a wish with me!"

Rei Hino put the broom aside, went to the offering box and took an ema. Although she was the daughter of the shrine family, she respectfully offered a piece of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

This is a million dollar bill!

While lamenting that Rei Hino is really rich, Rei Hino has already written her name on the ema. On the back of the ema is a big "Fate".

"It's the same for you to fill in yourself!"

Matsudaira took the ema and wrote his name on it.

In fact, shrines are the same as modern enterprises. They want to ask for consecration charms and amulets to exorcise town houses. These all need money. Of course, the priests consecrate in name and use divine power, so the money is dedicated to the gods, but God does not need money in this world, and one can imagine whose pockets this money flows into.

"The meaning is different, I would rather you fill in the other half." Rei Hino shook her head.

"Then why are you throwing [-] yuan bills? Isn't this shrine..." Matsuhira only thought that Rei Hino was pursuing perfection.

However, thinking of Fukuzawa Yukichi who Rei Hino just threw into the offering box, I still feel a little distressed. She really deserves to be the eldest lady of the shrine family, and she doesn't take money as money.

Originally, he didn't feel much about Rei Hino's expenses.But last night, we made an agreement that we must find her if we want to get married in the future, so Hino Rei's money is also his money. Although the relationship between the two is blurred now, and they don't even get together as boyfriend and girlfriend, but thinking of their own family His house is gone, and he is still heartbroken for Hono Rei's generous throwing of money.

"Although the money offered to God is not about the amount, but about the heart, but if the money is small, how can you show your sincerity? It's like giving your wife a diamond ring. The size and value don't matter. What matters is your heart. Show your sincerity..."

Hino Li explained with warmth on her face, she didn't see Hikaru Matsuhira hiding under a corner of the wall and silently drawing circles on the ground, "I can't afford a diamond ring, I'm really sorry for my lack of sincerity."

"Why are you like this? Important things vary from person to person. No matter how much others give me, I may not be happy. If you write this painted horse, I will be very happy."

Rei Hino could not help but look at Matsuhira squatting in the corner, she was really a child, and happily hung the ema on it.
