Teresa won't starve

"Miko-sama, it's Miko-sama..."

......

The villagers' voices sound intermittent, and even some places are repeatedly emphasized, and the logic is also chaotic.

Teresa only barely understood a part of it when she heard it.

Generally speaking, there are monsters in the village...

How to say this?

It's true that monsters are looking for witches!

But the problem is-

Sister Sakura is just an ordinary person!

Can ordinary people beat monsters?

And the key is-

In the previous dungeon, Teresa took the initiative to participate in these, so I know that witches are ordinary people, and monsters and gods are mostly spiritual beasts.

The only thing that can be called a monster in the true sense should be Honkai Beast.

Or is it a fusion beast shikigami transformed by Teresa's blood?

Speaking of which, the service club is really close to Shinano country, but it shouldn't be they who come here to make trouble.

After much deliberation, there is still no definite answer, why not wait for Sister Sakura to come back.

then.

Teresa fooled the villagers back first, so that the embarrassing situation where the villagers were about to leave and Sister Sakura came back did not happen.

So not long after the villagers left, Teresa told her about it when Sister Sakura came back.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll just go for a while."

The cherry-haired girl showed a habitual look, and was about to leave with a knife in her hand.

But before that, she was grabbed by Teresa, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't win the wrestling, Teresa who was holding the pillar with the other hand.

So I had to stop and listen to what she had to say.

I saw Teresa took out her saber from the last dungeon, that is, the soul-imitating steel sword named Yanweiqiri.She didn't mention the name (it's engraved on the knife anyway), so she handed it to sister Ying directly: "If sister Ying must go by herself, take this knife with her."

"But I have."

"I know."

Teresa knew very well that the casting process of Sister Sakura's knife was very ordinary, and it would not be too much to say that it was a piece of iron.It's okay to deal with ordinary small animals, but it may break when facing large beasts, which is dangerous.

Besides, she hasn't used this knife very much, so it's better to just give it away - anyway, she can make as many knives as she wants at any time.

"Ok."

Seeing Teresa's insistence, the cherry-haired girl had no choice but to take the knife.After she pulled out the knife and took a look, she knew that it was very expensive, and it was much better than her own knife.

It's just that she didn't return the knife again, but put down her original knife and left with only Teresa's knife.

184 "A Miko is Not a Miko"

After watching Sister Sakura leave, Teresa stood there for a while, and was hesitating whether to catch up, but saw Karen had already walked down the steps.

And looked back at Teresa after walking a few steps: "Are you going or not?"

"How do you know me--"

"...Let's go." Teresa opened her mouth, but still didn't ask.

She passed Kallen and walked ahead.

Teresa, who has lived nearby for a while, is obviously more suitable as a guide than Karen.

Although she can be regarded as a "road idiot" to a certain extent, this "road idiot" attribute is not the kind of "wizard" who "looks crooked when looking at the map", but simply "the road that is rarely traveled and the road that I don't recognize".

......

Teresa could only slow down a little because she wanted to deliberately get stuck in time.In order not to rush to Yae Village, I will suddenly bump into Sister Sakura who came out of it.

This also caused the actual arrival time to Yae Village to be later.

After they arrived at Yae Village, Sister Sakura had disappeared, so Teresa could only ask someone.

"Hey you--"

The person who was stopped rudely was a little angry at first.But when she saw that Teresa was young and very cute, she thought of teasing her: "Why don't you hurry home and hide, and watch out for monsters to come out and eat you."

There are also elements of warning and concern in it, and Teresa couldn't help saying thank you after listening:

"Oh, thank you... No! I just want to ask, do you know where Sister Sakura has gone?"

"Sister Sakura?"

"It's the one with pink hair called Yae..."

"Oh! You mean Miko-sama? I saw her go to the place of the God Lord."

"Where does the Lord God live?"

"That's right there." After the villagers pointed in a direction, they realized: "Didn't I say that it's dangerous outside now, so I need to go home early."

"I see! My lord is so troublesome!"

"..."

Ignoring the talkative villager, Teresa, followed by Karen, went to the place where the God Lord of this generation lived.

That's right, this generation.

Since the lord passed away a few years ago, the lord of Yae Village has been replaced by the oldest priestess, so the lord of this generation is actually a rather young woman.

Where you live naturally also makes a difference.

Perhaps it was because the other party liked cherry blossom trees very much. When Teresa went there, she could still see cherry blossom trees like pink wool balls on both sides of the street. (If you look down from a distance, it is really a pink fur ball)

It's just that when he was approaching the residence of the divine master, he happened to encounter love at the corner, and collided with the little girl who was walking around the corner and holding a basin of water.

If it wasn't for Karen to pull her, it is estimated that this basin of water would have chilled her heart.

Of course the child was not spared——

"..."

The drenched little girl sat on the ground in a daze, as if she hadn't realized what happened.

It wasn't until Teresa grabbed her arm and pulled her up that she noticed the two strangers with the same hair color: "Who the hell are you? Why did you come here? Not everyone can come here!"

Hearing this series of questions, Teresa has no time to talk nonsense to her.

So he squatted down, trying to keep his eyes at her level as much as possible, and let her instinctively look at Teresa.

"It doesn't matter who we are. Answer me a question first, Sakura-san... Which room is Yae Miko in now?"

【Curse Manifestation·Ghost Play·Naraku】

From Karen's perspective, Teresa's eyes are still a clear light blue.But what the little girl saw was a black vortex, and the more she looked at her, the more sleepy she felt.

"Miko, my lord, isn't here, she, by my lord—"

The little girl couldn't speak at this point, and it seemed that she didn't know what happened next.

"Then, tell me which room the Almighty lives in."

"It's at the very, innermost..."

Before finishing speaking, the little girl closed her eyes and leaned back.

"Is it time?"

'The Play of Naraku' is a method of hypnotizing the human spirit. The hypnotized person will be in a semi-comatose state. At this time, as long as the questions are not too private, they will basically answer them directly.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the subject will fall asleep at any time.

Teresa knew the limits of this yin and yang technique, so she didn't force anything.

Before the little girl fell on her back, she supported her upper body, laid her flat, and then walked towards the innermost room.

Karen, who followed behind, glanced at the little girl and followed without saying anything.

Follow Teresa to a smoky room.

Then I saw a woman in scantily dressed clothes smoking a cigarette, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, with an unconcealable disgust on her face.

"Is this the God Lord?"

Even if it is Teresa, you will involuntarily think about it (only you will)-it doesn't look like a person who has been a witch at all, but more like a person who specializes in some special services.

At the same time, the divine master also noticed the two outsiders.

The Almighty looked at their young and beautiful faces, and more importantly, their silver hair and blue eyes—although they were not as rare as pink hair, they were not a common color in the Far East.

Then he put down the cigarette stick, with a puzzled and curious look on his face: "A foreigner?"

"Hey!" Teresa sighed and walked towards the Almighty: "I know you have a lot to ask, but I don't want to talk nonsense with you."

"You stop for me!"

The God Lord instinctively wanted to stop Teresa from approaching.

Although she looked like a child, she made the Almighty flustered for no reason.

Then she met Teresa's blue eyes that turned into black swirls—

"Now tell me where the Yae Miko went."

"She's at......"

There was a trace of struggle on the face of the God Lord.

But ordinary people shouldn't be able to resist this kind of hypnosis.

Just when Teresa was having doubts, Karen came over with a handful of soot in her hand and handed it to Teresa to let her smell it: "I don't know what the effect of your ability is, but It should have something to do with hallucinations, right? This incense has certain hallucinogenic ingredients, which may have conflicted with your abilities."

"That's okay too?"

Teresa was speechless, and this kind of thing still happened.

185 "People's hearts are ghosts"

"That can't be helped, be afraid of me!"

Fortunately, the other party was an adult, and Teresa didn't have any psychological burden, and regardless of whether this would cause her a psychological shadow, she directly added deep hypnosis with a fear effect.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The God Lord had an expression of seeing the hell, and while yelling, he told the truth: "It's not me, it's not my fault!! That monster said that as long as the young priestess is sacrificed, it won't come to trouble me anymore!!!"

"...Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

"Every year! At this time of year! The villagers have to pray to the gods for rain! What does it have to do with the gods!? It was all done with the help of monsters! At the beginning, only a few offerings were enough! But in recent years, its requests have become more and more serious. It’s getting too much! There must be a priestess of the eightfold blood as a sacrifice, so that it will rain at this time of the year! If you don’t do this, even the spices that are barely enough now will not be provided anymore!!!”

Especially the last sentence, which scares the Almighty the most, it seems that if you stop smoking, you will die.

"You're really helpless."

It would be understandable for Teresa to sacrifice others just to keep herself alive—after all, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish.

But this one ruined other people's lives just for enjoyment, which is unacceptable anyway.

And more importantly——

Since only one witch needs to be sacrificed every year, why sacrifice the villagers?

God's answer was:

"What do you know? If people find out, no one will come to enshrine me! So I need to find a way to attract people's attention, so that I can take this opportunity to dedicate the young witch to the monster!!"

That is to say, two girls actually die every year, and the one who pretends on the surface is given for nothing...

"This is really..."
