Even if the natural scenery is rich, you will get tired of it after looking at it for a long time.

"younger brother."

Tsukimiya Sakurano glanced at Miura Gensuke and warned, "After entering the village, you must say that you are my boyfriend."

Miura Gensuke smiled and nodded: "I was going to say that too."

"Eh..." Chouno Ayase raised her hand in confusion: "Gensuke, isn't your girlfriend Miss Hoshizaki?"

Gensuke Miura didn't know how to explain it, after all, his situation was special.

And if Saya knew about his relationship with the senior, she would definitely be angry.

After solving the problem of the time ghost, I simply called everyone together and revealed my cards.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

The mountain road winds and twists its way up.

Just when the three thought they were lost, a small wooden shrine suddenly appeared on the side of the road, dedicated to a local minor god.

There are many such shrines in the countryside. After all, Japan is said to have 800 million gods.

Even the toilet god is worshipped.

"There are so many beautiful flowers near this shrine!"

Chouno Ayase smiled and took out her mobile phone to take pictures. She really treated this trip as a trip.

Tsukimiya Sakurano's eyes were looking forward.

We finally arrived at Yuejian Village.

This little mountain village doesn't look like anything special.

The scenery is just beautiful.

There is a small stream running through it, with houses on both sides.

The buildings look old.

Most of the people sitting and chatting on the roadside are white-haired old people.

"It's just a very ordinary village." Miura Gensuke opened the car door.

As a man, of course he was the one to ask for directions.

As for Senior Yuegong’s identity, it’s better not to reveal it for now.

After all, Tsukimiya-senpai's mother eloped with someone else when she was a shrine maiden.

People in the village will probably have opinions.

Having said that, my senior sister looks similar to my mother, so even if more than ten years have passed, the elderly might still recognize them.

He walked into the village, intending to inquire about the location of the shrine.

When the people of Yuejian Village noticed strangers walking into the village, they all turned their eyes to them curiously.

Doesn't look very friendly...

Miura Gensuke smiled and said to an old man passing by, "We are tourists and would like to visit the scenery of Tsukima Village."

"Excuse me, do you know where the shrine here is?"

The old man looked at him for a while, then looked at the two women behind him: "You are not welcome here..."

After seeing Tsukimiya Sakurano, he was obviously stunned.

Then he said more firmly: "Outsiders are not welcome here, please go back."

Miura Gensuke knew that it was pointless to continue chatting with ordinary villagers like them.

Yuejian Village is obviously a very xenophobic village.

"Brother." Tsukimiya Sakurano pulled him aside and said, "Let's go find the Lord."

"As long as the deity agrees, we can visit the village."

The so-called Shinto priests are clergymen in Shintoism, similar to priests in Christianity.

However, the priest is in charge of the church, while the chief priest is in charge of the shrine and is also the leader of the village. Moreover, the chief priest can be hereditary.

Generally speaking, the daughter of the lord is the shrine maiden, who helps carry out sacrificial activities, dancing during ceremonies, etc.

Tsukimiya Sakurano's grandfather was once the patron saint of this village.

In other words, the current god is also my sister's relative.

Miura Gensuke was a little worried that Sakurano would also be disliked by the family because her sister and mother eloped.

After all, this place looks quite traditional.

But at this point there is no other way but to consult the Lord God.

As the god, he naturally lives in the most honorable house.

Miura Gensuke looked around the village but didn't see anything noble.

There should be other areas in this village.

However, after the three of them entered the village, several young people surrounded them.

It seemed as if he wanted to drive them out.

Gensuke Miura wanted his sister and Chouno Ayase to get in the car first to avoid any danger.

As he was speaking, a girl about his age ran over with a smile:

"You're Miura Gensuke! The handsome guy from Tokyo!"

"Do you know me?" Miura Gensuke blinked and stared at the girl blankly.

The girl held up her phone. “I saw you on TikTok! You were interviewed when you were working as a security guard!”

"Ah..." Miura Gensuke also laughed.

After all, it is still a modern society, and even in the countryside, there is the Internet.

And he could imagine that the young people here also longed for city life.

He is from Tokyo and he came here, it's like a Beijinger going to the countryside.

"My name is Nana Tsukima." The girl introduced herself and asked him curiously, "What are you doing here, Miura-san?"

"Of course we're here for sightseeing." Miura Gensuke explained with a smile.

"Sightseeing? Is our village very famous?" Nana Tsukima laughed happily.

"Well." Miura Gensuke walked back to the car: "I have some gifts for you."

"Hey! Isn't this the first time we meet?"

Miura Gensuke snatched the panda doll from Chouno Ayase: "Nana, this is the panda doll I bought in Ueno Park."

"Ueno Park?! I really want to go there to see the pandas!" Nana Tsukima took the doll with a smile and immediately fell in love with it.

However, Miura Gensuke's actions also made the boys around Tsukima Nana nervous.

"Haha, don't worry, I have a girlfriend." Miura Gensuke put his arm around Tsukimiya Sakurano's waist: "I just want to make friends with you and visit the village by the way."

"Okay." A boy nodded: "Since you gave Nana a gift, you are our guest."

Wow! So innocent...

Miura Gensuke couldn't help but sigh.

I guess it’s because I, Mr. Jing, am too easy-going, which is a bit different from what they expected.

So it will be more popular.

Chapter 143: Witch [46K]

After getting the panda doll, Nana Tsukima took Miura Gensuke and the other two to visit the village, and proudly told the story of the village:

"The name of this stream is Tsukian Creek. It was formed from a tear shed by Princess Kaguya. It shines even brighter under the moonlight."

"Legend has it that our village is actually part of the moon. When the Tengu was eating the moon, the debris that accidentally fell off became the mountain where our village is located!"

"That's why our village is called Moon Village! We are the legendary Moon People!"

Miura Gensuke knew that many Japanese legends came from China, such as the nine-tailed fox and the tengu swallowing the moon.

As for Princess Kaguya mentioned by Nana Tsukima, she is also related to the moon, but she cannot be considered a mythological figure in the strict sense. She is just a fictional character in "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" in the 10th century.

Princess Kaguya was originally a fairy in the Moon Palace. Because she longed to be a mortal in her previous life, she was punished to be sent down to the mortal world and was born in a bamboo.

Then he was discovered by a bamboo cutter and adopted and raised.

When she grew up, Princess Kaguya was beautiful and was pursued by many nobles and even royals, but she rejected them all. In the end, she left the elixir of immortality and a letter to the bamboo cutter, and then returned to the Moon Palace wearing the heavenly feather robe.

The sense of déjà vu is also very strong...

"Nana." Miura Gensuke was curious: "Where is the shrine in your village?"

"Hmm..." After hearing about the shrine, Nana Tsukima's expression suddenly became much more lonely: "Our village's shrine has not been taken care of for a long time."

"Why?" Tsukimiya Sakurano was very puzzled.

"Because the last shrine maiden of our village returned to the moon..." Nana Tsukima sighed: "Although there are still people cleaning the shrine, no one can communicate with Tsukuyomi-sama anymore."

In Japanese mythology, Tsukuyomi (moon), Amaterasu (sun), and Susanoo (ocean) are the three noble sons born to Izanagi-no-Mikoto (father) and Izanami-no-Mikoto (mother).

After the Heian period, independent worship of Tsukuyomi became rare, but Tsukuyomi was still regarded as the god of time in calendar and agricultural ceremonies.

As for what Nana Tsukima said about the shrine maiden returning to the moon, it was probably just a lie told by adults.

I can't tell the kids that the miko ran off with a man from Tokyo...

"But, can't the village change a shrine maiden?" Tsukimiya Sakurano looked at the clear stream under the cherry tree.
