After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

Optics Valley Falcon nodded.

The Jade Dog Miko squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the movement around her.

After confirming that no one was there, he spoke.

"Actually...as a miko, I shouldn't have said anything to you."

"However, since you want to help me, then be my last audience."

"Anyway, death is inevitable. After speaking out what has been in my heart for these years, I will feel a little more calm even if I face death in the future."

The Jade Dog Miko also sat on the ground, side by side with Optics Valley Falcon.

"The nameless person lost in the abandoned village..."

"I hope that after hearing this, you can recall in the dead of night that once upon a time, there was a shrine maiden who lived in this isolated shrine."

Her words were like the dying fireflies in summer.

It's so beautiful and quiet.

It can be as gorgeous as fireworks, but I am afraid that it will cause me to have too much attachment to this world.

In the end, I can only choose to disappear quietly into the summer night like a firefly.

lonely and desolate.

The story of the Jade Dog Miko is simple.

It’s so simple that it can even be applied to the standard template of any tragic heroine.

When he was young, his parents divorced.

In the end, the Jade Dog Miko was sentenced to be given to her alcoholic father.

She watched her mother leave, but did not dare to cry, because if she cried too loudly, she would be severely beaten by her alcoholic father.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

This inhumane life only lasted less than half a year. His father, an alcoholic, died in a car accident in a bottomless ravine.

It was also at this time that Tamado Miko was selected to enter Himeka Shrine and became a miko.

There are many little girls her age here who live happily every day.

She thought this was the beginning of a new life, but she didn't expect that it was just a continuation of the nightmare.

Flowers bloom and fall after a season, and the clouds roll and relax in spring and autumn.

As the Jade Dog Miko grows older, her mind becomes more mature, and her body becomes graceful and sexy.

Just when she was about to feel the beauty of youth like other girls, a cold mask was firmly placed on her face.

She was later told that the mask would be with her for the rest of her life.

Wonderful love has no chance with her at all.

And the meaning of her existence is that one day after she reaches adulthood, she will be selected as a sacrifice and sacrificed alive.

This is the mission that every shrine maiden in Jixiang Shrine must undertake, and it is also the fate she must face.

Chapter 139 Subversion

True.

She also resisted.

However, it ended in failure.

In the end, countless emotions gathered together and twisted into a thick rope called despair.

Grab her throat and suffocate her little by little.

When despair completely crushes her and pulls her into the abyss, her life will die meaninglessly.

Today it is today.

She still couldn't get over that childhood nightmare.

This is her, the life of the Jade Dog Miko——Ayazuka Shio.

After listening to this story, Guanggu Falcon was silent for a long time.

The silver moonlight moved slowly in front of their eyes, symbolizing the passage of time.

Jade Dog Miko Ayazuka Shio slowly stood up and dusted herself off.

"Let's go."

"An unknown person lost in an abandoned village."

"If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave again after Tsukuyomi-sama and Amaterasu-sama come back."

Under Ayazuka Shio's ferocious mask, there is a heart-warming tenderness.

"And...it's time for me to get out of here."

"I will live in the back mountain during the period before the ceremony begins."

"In order to keep my body and mind clean, I cannot even go out. All my daily life must be taken care of by other witches."

"In other words, today is the last time we see each other."

Speaking of this, Ayazuka Xi smiled to himself.

"But, we have only met twice..."

"We have to say goodbye before we even get to know each other."

Optics Valley Falcon stood up silently.

He looked around the empty hall, and then looked at the deep darkness on the stairs.

There was a fire burning in his eyes.

You know, once a bond is formed between people, one of them will become reluctant to part with them when facing death in the future.

And the deeper this bond is, the stronger this reluctance will be.

In the eyes of Himeka Shrine, these shrine maidens are not living people, but parts that allow the shrine to operate smoothly.

The purpose of training them is to serve as sacrifices and offer their lives as adults.

Because of this, any emotion is superfluous to the shrine.

What the shrine needs is tool people who have no nostalgia for this world and no ties. They need them to face death calmly during the most beautiful years of their lives.

No wonder Yuyin Rei is so eager to leave.

If it were him, the methods would only be more intense.

Mitsutani Hayabusa had a strong urge in his heart to completely overthrow this shrine.

He and Ayazuka Xi looked at each other, and then said.

"Ayazuka Shio."

"It's like you said, you and I have only met twice."

"But I just feel that a gentle person like you shouldn't die in a place like this."

"You should leave this place and wander in the wider world outside."

"Perhaps you will become a fashion designer and design beautiful clothes every day."

“Maybe you’ll become a pastry chef and open a corner shop to provide a little inn for busy people to relax in.”

"You have countless choices, but no matter which one you choose, you should not die in this place for some ridiculous reasons at such a beautiful age."

Mitsuya Hayabusa's words were like a meteorite, hitting the softest part of Ayazuka Xi's heart.

As a child, her parents considered her a liability.

After entering the shrine, she was raised as a sacrifice.

Everyone is telling her that death is the only way to show value.

But no one told her how to live.

Optics Valley Falcon's words were like a ray of light, clearing away the haze in her heart and allowing her to see a corner of the infinitely vast sky.

But, it's too late...

too late.

The shackles of fate have strangled her throat, dragging her bit by bit into the bottomless abyss.

This hope is like a placebo before execution.

Why...you just showed up in my life now.

Why not show up earlier, when I still have the courage to break free from the shackles.

Ayazuka Shi resisted crying.

She waved her sleeves and smiled sadly.

"It's too late to say this now."

"Let's go quickly."

"The Nameless Man."

"If you can, please remember my story and my name."

"Let you serve as proof that I am alive."

At this moment, the moonlight happened to move to the position of the Optics Valley Falcon, covering him with a holy silver veil.

Ayazuka Shio was stunned.

Optics Valley Falcon smiled gently and stretched out a hand to her.

"As long as you still want to live, it's never too late."

"A firm will will surely turn into wings towards freedom."

"please believe me."

"Because I am not called a nameless person."

"My name is Guanggu Falcon."

------

finally.

Ayazuka Xi did not hold Mitsuya Hayabusa's hand.

Before the other shrine maidens could return to the shrine, Mitsutani Hayabusa left.

And Ayazuka Shio, escorted by several shrine maidens, left from the back door on the second floor of the shrine and headed for the deep and dark back mountain.

On the way forward, the witches remained silent, as silent as moving ghosts in the dark night.

Ayazuka Xi lowered his head, only feeling that his steps were getting heavier.

no doubt.

Mitsuya Hayabusa's words had a considerable impact on her.

However, she still didn't have the courage to take that step.

Some people may ask, you will die if you stay at the shrine.

That being the case, why refuse?

Of course Ayazuka Shio knew this.

But she is different from Yuyin Lian.

Although Rei Amane is the shrine maiden who guards the torii gate, she is not the chosen sacrifice.

Even if she leaves, as far as the shrine is concerned, it is nothing more than finding a new one to take her place.

Of course, the shrine will not sit idly by and will send people out to bring the people back.
