Soon they came into sight of one of the several villages on the island.

In the village surrounded by wooden fences, villagers dressed in folk costumes looked at the strange visitors from the civilized world with vigilant eyes.

The appearance of the natives is no different from that of Yuli.

He was originally wondering, could it be that the people living on this island are orcs or elves?

It seems that they are just ordinary humans.

"It seems that we can't hurt the villagers casually?" Yuli said in Jiaika's ear.

"Is that so? What's the matter?"

"nothing."

Yuli had previously thought about using force to make the villagers surrender and speed up his clearance time.

Anyway, the singularity this time is privacy mode, so no matter what I do, no one outside will see me.

“No~~~!”

Feeling the evil thoughts from Yuli, Jiayika pouted her lips: "Yuli, even if this is a singularity, you can't do anything immoral easily, okay?"

"I know, I know."

Yuli and Jiaika walked and talked until they came to the entrance of the village.

There were several sturdy men at the entrance, who seemed to be the village security guards.

Unexpectedly, they did not stop Yuli and his party, but watched them enter the village.

After the two entered the village, many houses on both sides of the road opened their windows and peeked in at the two people who came from outside the island.

But no one spoke to them.

According to Yuli and Jiaika's speculation on the way here, there should be a very strict hierarchy on the island.

So no one would talk to them before getting permission from the village leader.

"Well……"

Jiaika twisted her arms and suddenly felt very uncomfortable all over.

She felt uncomfortable being stared at silently, so she leaned closer to Yuri.

At this time, a villager came up to the two of them and pointed to a house deep in the village.

"The village chief's house."

After he said this, he turned and left.

Yuli and Jiaika looked at each other, nodded, and walked towards the room.

The village chief is an old man who looks to be in his sixties.

He is not very kind and gives people the feeling of a stern elder.

“Hello, we are from outside the island and are very interested in the customs of the island.

Especially the content about the Dragon God and the Priestess, I want to write a chronicle report. "

After entering the village chief's house, Yuri skillfully stated the identity provided by the singularity.

"Folklorist? So young?"

The village chief frowned, his expression switching suspiciously between the two men's faces.

"Ah... yes."

Yuli sat upright and pointed at Jiayika beside him: "This is Miss Jiayika.

Although she is still young, she is actually already a university professor. I am her assistant. "

"Humph... I can't tell at all." The village chief said unhappily.

As he looks, the old man is very mean.

The village chief crossed his arms over his chest and shouted, "Are you also criticizing the "Red Festival"?

You high-handed civilized people! You don't understand the hardships of others at all. Don't criticize other people's customs casually! "

也… … ?

Yuli and Jiaika looked at each other. It seemed that they were not the first people to investigate customs from outside the island.

"I……"

Just as Jiayi Ka was about to speak, Yuli grabbed her and stopped her.

"That's not the case, how could it be possible!?"

Yuli rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "We just want to understand the great dragon god and tell more people about the existence of the god."

"Hmph...that's pretty good." The village chief nodded with satisfaction.

"Village Chief, can you tell us about the Dragon Priestess?"

After some flattery, Yuli got to the point.

He held a notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, and he really looked like the real deal.

"It's okay to tell you... But you won't exaggerate or write nonsense in the report, right?" The old man stared at Yuli's face and asked loudly.

"How could that be? We who study journalism have the most professional ethics~" Yuli said with a smile.

"Humph."

The village chief nodded and began to explain.

On this island, there is a family of shrine maidens who hold a high status.

Every generation in the shrine maiden family, a woman is born who is called "Dragon Shrine Maiden" by the people on the island.

They live in the temple in the center of the island, and their duties are to offer tributes to the Dragon God who protects everyone and listen to oracles.

"Dragon God..." Yuli asked in feigned confusion.

"Lord Dragon God," the old man corrected.

When this name was mentioned, the village chief's already old-fashioned face became even more serious: "From ancient times to the present, we islanders have been protected by the Dragon God.

Without Lord Dragon God, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"Hey……"

Jiayi Ka looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "It's amazing that you can build such an excellent village on an island far away from the mainland."

"Of course! It's all thanks to Lord Dragon God that we are able to stay away from disasters and live a life of good weather, warm clothes and plenty of food!"

The village chief said excitedly.

Then, he clasped his hands together with a pious look and began to pray.

Yuli and Jiayika looked at each other.

After the village chief finished praying, Yuli asked again.

"Dragon God..."

The village chief glared at him fiercely, and Yuri quickly corrected him: "Does Lord Dragon God also live on this island?"

He just noticed that the village chief said that the "Dragon Priestess" was placed in the temple by the islanders.

Isn’t that the place where the Dragon God lives?

Or does the "Dragon Priestess" live with the Dragon God?

In response to this, the village chief stated with a condescending attitude.

"Lord Dragon God is an existence that transcends the laws of the universe. Only nobles with priestess bloodline have the honor of seeing the face of God."

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean..." Jiayika frowned slightly.

Although he was speaking the common language, it was difficult to grasp the main point of his words.

"That is to say..."

Yuri narrowed his eyes and spoke word by word, "Except for the miko, no one has ever seen the Dragon God on the island, is that right?"

The village chief confirmed his guess with silence.

Since it is a dragon, it should have a huge and majestic entity.

Since he is a god, it is reasonable that he cannot be observed by mortals.

These two contradictory concepts constitute the existence of the Dragon God...

"Village Chief, we would like to visit the Dragon Priestess."

Yuli stated his demands directly.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, he did not ask about the sacrifice at all today.

"Ha? Stop joking! Do you think people like you can just casually meet the witch?" the old man said angrily.

"We want to make the name of the Dragon Priestess known to more people. We have absolutely no other intentions. Please be lenient in this regard."

"I'm counting on you here, too!"

Yuli and Jiaika both lowered their heads.

Seeing the village chief's hesitation, Yuli pressed the issue, "Jiaika and the Dragon Priestess are girls of the same age, they should be able to get along well, right?

The shrine maiden lives in the temple every day, and she would be very happy to see a girl from outside who is about her own age occasionally!"

"It's not impossible..."

The village chief nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned, his face showing a wary look: "I never said that the witch was a young girl, how did you know they were of similar age!? Tell me, what are you planning!?"

Oops……

Jiayi Ka's chest tightened: Yuri said the wrong thing! The village chief did not mention the age of the "Dragon Priestess"!

However, Yuri disagreed and said, "The role of Miko-sama can only be played by a beautiful girl.

It's like this where we are, isn't it the same here?"
