Teresa won't starve

"Then I haven't traveled far? If so, I can go back and have a look?"

"[Question] Yes!It's not that far!But does the captain know which way to go? 』

"..."

Teresa was speechless when asked.

After all, it is very difficult for people with road-crazy attributes to let them know the way.

The main reason why Teresa has never lost her way is that besides standing tall and seeing far away, she relies more on her intuition, which is especially keen in this regard.

She couldn't tell why, but she always felt familiar people or things. (Actually, it can sense the collapse)

By the way, speaking of it, why is there no 'inner' this time?

Then Teresa asked Femilis.

『[Unexplainable] Captain, thank you very much for treating Femilice as a know-it-all, but Femilice doesn’t know why she doesn’t have a 'memory' this time, so please explore by yourself, Captain. 』

"So you're useless?"

"【...】......"

169 "Wenzheng ten years, I came early?"

That being said, Fimilis is kind of useful.

At least in this kind of plain area with no leverage, Femilis can fly to the sky to look down and help Teresa find the nearest village.

Listening to Fimilis' dictation and guidance, Teresa soon came to a nearby village.

It was a village far more prosperous than the one Teresa was in before.

There is a little excitement of people coming and going.

However, because everyone talked about gossip, Teresa couldn't get specific information about the village from them.

So I simply put my hands in my pockets, but actually took out some unused money from the imaginary number space, and found a fruit shop to take advantage of the convenience of buying fruits, and asked about the village while eating at the door of the store.

As a result, he was recognized as a foreigner as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Miss is not from this village."

"Is it that obvious?"

Teresa looked down at the dress on her body... well, it was quite obvious.

But the shop owner's answer was a little different: "Clothes are one reason, mainly because people in the village don't ask such questions, and only foreigners who don't understand anything will mention this matter."

The shop owner's tone was very flat, as if he was used to it.

"Do people from outside the village often come here?"

"It can't be said often, there will be one or two once in a while." The shop owner didn't really think about this, so he changed the subject when he said this, and said that he wanted to drive Theresa away: "Miss, you should leave this village as soon as possible. Outsiders are not very welcome here. Especially girls, it is very unsafe here."

"It's not safe for girls to go anywhere!"

"[Joyful] Except for the captain. 』

"Stop talking!"

"Okay then." Teresa handed the leftover bamboo sticks to the store owner, stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, and was about to leave, but before she left, she still had to ask one more question: "Can you at least tell me the name of the village and what year it is now?"

"I don't even know the year number... Is it possible that Miss is from overseas?"

If she is not a native of the Far East, she really has no reason to know about this village, so she has nothing to hide. Anyway, she probably has never heard of the customs of this village.

So the shop owner said it directly: "This place is called 'Yae Village', and the year name...it should be the 10th year of Wenzheng, and it will be the 11th year of Wenzheng in a little more than a month."

"Wenzheng 10 years?"

"That's all I can say. Miss, you should leave this village as soon as possible. It's for your own good."

After speaking, the shop owner directly blocked the door curtain.

He looked like he was going to close the store, and didn't want to talk to Teresa at all.

no way.

Teresa had to leave.

......

"This is Yae Village? By the way, when did the story of Sakura Reincarnation begin?"

"[Answer] Wen Zheng was 11 years old, the exact time is uncertain.It can only be roughly judged that it should be between spring and summer. 』

"Well, it looks like I'm early."

Nodding silently.

It's good to speak in your heart, and you don't have to worry about being regarded as crazy by those who hear it.

But the strange thing is that the passers-by always pay attention to her. Their eyes don't look like they found a cutie, but they are observing whether the newly bought pork is fresh?

Teresa wasn't sure if this description was accurate, anyway, the way they looked at people made Teresa shudder.

As a result, Teresa couldn't help but focus on the sight of pedestrians as she walked. She didn't pay attention to the road ahead at all, and she bumped into people all of a sudden.

"Are you OK."

The other party's voice sounds mature and gentle, or calm and cold.It gives people a feeling of indifference to everything, so they don't care about being bumped into.

"It's okay, it's okay, of course it's okay!"

Teresa hurriedly pulled out the side face stuck in someone's chest, and stepped back a little to apologize.Then I saw a woman with a ponytail in a plain white bathrobe.

This dress is ordinary, but the key is that she has a cherry blossom version of pink hair.

Although there are no animal ears, human ears are also revealed from the side.But the cheeks that were somewhat similar to those in memory still made Teresa involuntarily stunned.

Seeing Teresa staring at her, the cherry-haired girl couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Ah? Ah! This—" After the questioning reminder, Teresa also knew that she had been looking at it for a long time, and when she was thinking about how to relieve the embarrassment, she suddenly saw the fox face mask in the other party's hand: "Where did you buy this thing?"

"You mean this mask? I'll give it to you if you don't mind."

The cherry-haired girl handed the mask to Teresa, as if she didn't care about the mask at all. (then why do you still buy it)

"...No, I just want to know where to buy it."

Teresa hesitated for a while and didn't take it. She still wanted to buy it with her own money—although she didn't really want it.

"..."

The cherry-haired girl frowned, as if she felt troubled.

But she still agreed, nodding her head for Teresa to follow, and taking Teresa there by herself.

of course.

Because there is still some distance on the road, Teresa chatted without words: "By the way, sister, what's your name?"

"cherry."

The cherry-haired girl seemed very uncommunicative. After saying her name, she didn't even mention her surname, let alone Teresa's name.

"So, how old is Sister Sakura?"

The cherry-haired girl thinks she talks a lot!

But it seems impolite not to answer?

"15 is old."

Pointing to herself, Theresa said: "Theresa is 12 'now'."

"Theresa?"

The cherry-haired girl stopped and looked down at the little guy who was only as tall as her chest.

Maybe it was because I was very surprised by the name, or maybe it was just that I didn't expect... that a person who is three years younger can be so much shorter than me?

And it's an extremely standard airport.

"Sister, have you ever heard Teresa's name?"

"Just a little concerned."

The cherry-haired girl shook her head and did not continue the topic.Then she raised her hand and pointed to the roadside stall: "Here we are."

170 "Poverty Priestess"

Following the fingers of the cherry-haired girl, Teresa saw a small stall with many masks hanging on wooden shelves.

The vendor in blue civilian attire and a straw hat rested leisurely on a stone beside him.I didn't see him yelling twice, as if he didn't care whether he could sell it or not.

Considering that she came here for 'this mask', Teresa walked to the stall, and at the same time saw the sign hanging in front, the price is one coin... This thing seems to be called Shime, right? (Kashu Gold actually appeared in the 16th century, so here it is a bit earlier...Anyway, the history of the collapsed world is also delayed in advance)

Seems a bit pricey?

But Teresa didn't care too much. Anyway, no matter how much money is saved in this era, it is estimated that there is no way to save it for the next world.

Pulled out a coin of the same price and put it on the table, then picked up a mask that looked similar.

Teresa compared it over and over again...the face above is a little different from what I saw before, as if the paint was used less.

At this time, the cherry-haired girl came over suddenly, and stretched out her hand to the mask on Teresa's hand: "Lend me."

"Oh."

Although she didn't understand what she wanted to do, Teresa handed the mask to the cherry-haired girl.Then I saw the cherry-haired girl stretch out her right thumb, and there was still a wound that had just healed on it.

The cherry-haired girl tore the wound on her thumb again with her teeth. She seemed to feel no pain at all. Not only did she not frown, but she even used blood as dye to draw a fox's face on the mask, which made the This fox mask has become even more realistic than before.

"Sister Sakura, what are you doing?"

Teresa never expected that someone would hurt herself for such a thing.

She quickly put her hands behind her back, used her 'creation' ability to create a band-aid, and used this band-aid to wrap the cherry-haired girl's thumb.

"what is this?"

The cherry-haired girl had never seen this kind of thing before, and it felt weird to wrap it in her hand, so she couldn't help but want to take it off.

"Don't move! The wound will heal after a while!"

"really?"

The cherry-haired girl didn't really believe it, but seeing Teresa's appearance, she still chose to believe her.

After looking at the 'fat' thumb for a while, the cherry-haired girl handed her the painted mask.The cherry-haired girl turned around and was about to leave, but soon she turned her head and faced Teresa sideways: "Would you like to come to my house as a guest?"

"Okay!"

There is no reason not to accept such a good opportunity.

What's more, Teresa has no other place to go, and it would be nice to have a place to live, and it is more convenient if the host is a girl.

"..."

In fact, the cherry-haired girl just said a polite word, and she even thought about how to answer if she was rejected.

Doesn't that seem bad?

She was the only one living there anyway.

......

The cherry-haired girl led Theresa away from the village. As she left the village and walked into the forest, the cherry-haired girl would look back at Theresa from time to time.

After all, she's a girl, so those who come to the wilderness will feel scared.

But the cherry-haired girl realized that her worries were unnecessary. Teresa seemed very heartless, and she was even interested in looking left and right, not afraid of not following, getting lost, or getting lost.

After walking a section of the mountain road, we soon came to a path made of stone slabs.It looks like all the money for road construction has been spent here, which is obviously smoother than the road in the village.

Stepping up the stairs step by step, crossing the torii, passing the cherry blossom trees tied with shimenawa, the shrine is empty.

Of course this is the front of the shrine.

The cherry-haired girl mainly took Teresa to the back, which is where the priests and witches lived.It's just a priest and a priestess, but actually there is only one priestess living here.

That is, the cherry-haired girl herself.
