I loaded the dream game

"This is a second-hand car." Xia Zhi thought about it and finally explained.

……

At home, the kitten looked at the empty room, then turned back to look at the empty cat bowl, and meowed in confusion.

Chapter 694: Is Goddess Congyun also responsible for the Qixi Festival wishes?

This is a remote town located deep in the mountains where there is no public transportation. Due to the lack of contact with the surrounding areas, even the modernization of the town is lagging behind.

But because of this, this small town has gradually developed a unique local culture. Now it has become a unique hot spring tourist destination, well-known throughout the country.

However, even so, because transportation is not particularly convenient, not many people come to this small town to travel during non-holiday periods.

"Hey..."

Ailuko jumped down from the top step of the RV, landed steadily on his feet, turned around and looked at Xia Zhi, looking forward to his praise.

Are you a child?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and reached out and tapped her head gently: "It's too dangerous, what if you fall next time?"

"No way." Ailuko covered his forehead and defended himself in a low voice with some grievance.

"I am ready to pull your clothes at any time."

Were you prepared for this?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

On the other side, Xia Zhi looked at the city in front of him that he had visited once.

I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of the temple fair, but compared to the last time I came, there seem to be fewer people here.

It can’t be said to be deserted, but it’s certainly not very lively either.

To put it simply...

"Half dead." Irena tilted her head slightly and concluded.

Xia 18zhi curled the corner of her mouth: "Sister Irena is really...straightforward."

Although it is true, but... the person involved is present here.

She looked carefully in the direction of Xiao Congyu.

Fortunately, Cong Yu didn't seem to care much.

"After all, it's the truth," she said.

As someone who had guarded this town for five hundred years, she could be said to be the person most familiar with this place, and of course she knew some of the situations well.

"Despite the support of the tourism industry, we still can't retain the migrant population. In addition, most of the young people go to the city to work, so the population loss is also quite serious."

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is probably the inevitable result of urbanization," Xia Zhi said.

From the perspective of cost and efficiency, cities are obviously much better than rural areas. It is inevitable that young people want to move to cities.

As for the solution...

"How about declaring independence?" Irena suggested.

"..."×N

Isn’t that a bit extreme?

In comparison, it seems more reliable to announce the candidacy for the Olympic host city, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

In Irena's world, the city-state system is basically popular. Generally, a town is a country, so it is normal to have such an idea.

It’s just…how should I put it, the Earth has its own customs, and I hope that a certain witch would pay some attention to cultural differences.

Xia Zhi tried to change the subject:

"Come to think of it, this town once had a very popular tourist attraction."

"Eh~? What is it?" Xiao Xiazhi said to support her brother out of courtesy.

"Legend has it that there is a magic sword in this town that no one can pull out." Xia Zhi touched her head and introduced.

Xiao Xiazhi tilted her head slightly.

This kind of legend seems familiar.

It should be said that it is a very common setting and has been seen in many works.

But if it really exists in reality, I would definitely want to give it a try.

"Unfortunately, I can't try it now."

Xiao Xiazhi was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Well this...

Xia Zhi lowered his head and glanced at the Cong Yu Wan in his hand.

He was running around with that special popular item in his hand.

……

Of course, there was a reason why I brought Cong Yuwan down with me.

Since you are traveling, the first thing you need to do is to find a place to rest and stay, right?

Although you can rest in the RV, the space is really limited. It's okay for two people, but it's not suitable for so many people now.

Besides, it is a famous hot spring resort after all. Wouldn’t it be a shame if you don’t take a hot spring bath here?

With this idea in mind, Xia Zhi decided to go to the hotel where he stayed last time and prepare a room.

However, if so many people went there together, it would be a waste of time, so Xia Zhi decided to let Cong Yu take them for a walk around the area while he went to prepare the room first.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring the Cong Yu Maru with you, which has the setting that "you can see Cong Yu's true form just by touching it".

"Long time no see, sir." The innkeeper greeted him.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "Do you still remember me?"

Because there were so few guests, were you impressed by every one of them?

"Of course."

However, the hotel owner gave a different answer than expected: "After all, it is rare to travel with so many beautiful and lovely girls, so the impression will inevitably be more profound."

Summer Solstice:…

It turns out that it wasn't me who impressed you the most, but Xia Zhi and the others?

"By the way, are you here alone this time?"

He looked around and saw no other figure beside the boy. This was in stark contrast to the lively scene last time.

So... was I dumped?

Such thoughts could not help but arise in his mind.

Xia Zhi shook his head and said to the boss, "Please help me open three rooms."

"Three rooms?" The innkeeper was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Are you living alone?"

"How is that possible?" Xia Zhi answered as a matter of course.

"Of course there are other girls."

"..."

……

When Xia Zhi walked out of the hotel under the envious eyes of the boss and sent a message to Xia Zhi and the others, he found out that they were currently visiting the shrine.

So, he went straight to the shrine and saw Xia Zhi and the others gathered in front of a shelf from a distance, not knowing what they were doing. Compared to other places, this place seemed to be quite popular.

Ailuko seemed to sense something and turned around in confusion. When he saw the boy, he smiled happily and waved at him.

"what are you doing?"

Xia Zhi gathered around curiously.

Ailuko thought about it, picked up the blank wooden sign in his hand and handed it to him.

This is……?

Xiazhi took the wooden sign...I remember it was something called "Ema", right?

"The people at the shrine said that because today is the Tanabata Festival, the goddess Congyun will specially bless the couples who come here. As long as you write down your wishes, there is a high probability that they will come true!" Ai Luke explained to the boy.

"Yeah……"

Xia Zhi looked down at the wooden sign in his hand. It was blank. It looked like the Star God Girl had not decided what to write on it.

However, couples and the like...they would give such wooden signs to Eluko, so there must be something wrong with the staff here.

Didn’t you see that all the people who came with her were girls?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, looked at Cong Yu and asked, "Is this true?"

Cong Yu shook his head: 343 "It should be an activity that just came out this year."

After all, the goddess Murakumo who created Murakumo Maru and protected this land has been dead for more than 500 years. Even if she is still blessing this land, judging from her previous inability to do anything about the curse, she should not have the energy to fulfill other people's wishes, right?

"Sir, would you like to have a try?" A shrine staff member nearby saw the arrival of the summer solstice, walked over and asked enthusiastically.

"Let me ask, how many people have actually realized their wishes?" Xia Zhi thought for a while and asked curiously.

"Not yet." The staff member replied.

"After all, it's a project that just started this year."

This is also true.

"This, can only be written by couples?" Xia Zhi thought for a while and continued to ask.

"Because it's the Tanabata Festival."

Yes, after all, it is a money-making project specially set up for the Chinese Valentine's Day. If you are not a couple, it has no special meaning.

"For other identities, you have to pay extra."

Summer Solstice:…

Well, it does look like a money-making project. Considering the recent economic downturn and the decline in the town's development, it's understandable.

"Summer Solstice..."

Ai Luke gently pulled at the corner of his clothes and said expectantly, "Shall we write a wish on it too?"

Xia Zhi thought about it and thought that if Ai Luke wanted to try, it was not impossible, but...

"Well...only couples are allowed." The staff tried to remind them.

"Eh? Is that so..." Ailu looked a little distressed, and asked the staff in confusion:

"After we get married, can we no longer be considered a couple?"

staff member:……

He began to consider the possibility of calling the police.

Chapter 695: Are today's scumbags so blatant?

In terms of nature, the existence of the Goddess Murasaki is similar to that of Suwako, both of whom belong to the category of indigenous gods, that is, the earth gods corresponding to the heavenly gods.

Xia Zhi personally feels that instead of expecting a deceased earth god to fulfill other people's wishes, it would be better to pay more attention to the loli god in Wakaba City. At least she is real and has a good personality. If you tell your name, you might get some preferential treatment.

Of course, he couldn't do something like holding up a sign that said "Please pay attention to Suwako-nyan" to promote his own god in someone else's territory. Besides, Suwako didn't need so much faith now, and there was no need to recruit believers everywhere.

Xia Zhi thought about it, looked at Ai Lu Ke and asked, "What kind of wish should I write?"

If it was Ailu Ke, although Goddess Congyun might not be able to bless her to realize her wish, she could do it.
