Gentleman's Night Canteen

After that, she just needs to pay more attention, so the problem shouldn't be a big deal.

Now the first step seems to be successful, and Lan Meng, who was originally in a happy mood because of the beautiful scenery around her, once again showed a serious expression is the best evidence.

Lan Meng, who didn't know that she had been tricked, secretly reminded herself not to be rude later, and glanced around from the corner of her eye from time to time, obviously looking for the "fox demon living in Narugami Taisha" that Yingkou said .

I just don't know if it's because he is a stranger, but there doesn't seem to be a fox demon in front of him.

At the same time, he also observed the terrain in the shrine by the way.

Unlike Obike's simple shrine with only one room, Narujin Taisha belongs to the most standard 'shrine complex'.

A large number of torii gates along the way from the foot of the mountain represent the "gateway to the gods", and when he climbed the last step, there were many "tamadens" around him. It is the role of the fence, and is generally used to distinguish between the 'divine world and the human world'.

Of course, normal shrines are more of a symbolic meaning, but this is a world with real gods and extraordinary powers. These 'tamadens' are actually a part of the entire Kagekoyama barrier.

Compared with the enchantment under the mountain, which is more of a warning nature, the strength of the enchantment here is completely different. Even ordinary demon gods may not be able to break through it. After all, this enchantment is based on the huge thunder Cherry tree' as a source of magic power.

In addition, I don't know if the various fox stone sculptures seen along the way represent the "God Envoy Statue" that is very common in shrines.

And along this path full of fox sculptures, Lan Meng soon saw the so-called "worship hall", but the maid who led the way didn't seem to want to take him in, but continued to walk along the path to the depths go.

It wasn't until then that Lan Meng realized that the path she was taking didn't seem to be the route for normal guests to pay homage.

And soon his guess was confirmed, they directly crossed the 'worship hall' and 'nave' and directly entered the 'main hall' at the back, which is also the core area of ​​the shrine.

Compared with the "Worship Hall" used for worship, generally speaking, the "Main Hall" is not allowed to enter the "Main Hall" at will. Even if Kagerai Narujin Taisha is holding an event, the entourage is generally not allowed to enter the "Main Hall". Is it the place where Yae Kamiko usually stays? It is also directly under the 'Thunder Cherry Tree'. Behind the main hall is the tall and somewhat abnormal 'Thunder Cherry Tree'.

Looking at the main hall of Narugami Taisha Shrine, which was even more gorgeous than the residence of the 'General', Lan Meng couldn't help but sigh that the owner here must have a good relationship with the General, otherwise he would not be alive today.

But just as Lan Meng was complaining in his heart, the witch who was leading the way on the other side had already stopped.

"Your Excellency Lan Meng, the palace secretary is inside, and I will wait for you here."

After finishing speaking, the other party didn't even care about Lan Meng's reaction, he was sitting outside the main hall with his hands on his lap and looking into the distance. If it wasn't for the sound of the other party's breathing, Lan Meng would even wonder if the other party was a sculpture.

But looking at the other party's serious look, Lan Meng, who had checked countless times along the way, finally tidied up her clothes before stepping into the main hall.

It's just that when Lan Meng entered it, his expression became a little subtle.

Although Lanmeng complained about Obike's shabby shrine more than once along the way, it is a regular shrine after all, at least in the main body, or the main hall is built up to the standard, but the interior of the main hall of this Narugami Shrine is better than Lanmeng's. Like more 'tidy'.

The huge room was divided into upper and lower parts, surrounded by lighting or other simple decorations, but other than that, there was nothing else.

I don't know why Lan Meng can't help but think of the indoor gymnasium in his previous school.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing strange. After all, compared with the worship hall used for worship in general shrines, the "main hall" is often the place where the real sacrifices and gods are enshrined. Not only did the worshiped gods really exist, but they even worked in Inazuma City from nine to five every day.

It is more realistic to go directly to the other party's mansion to worship and serve the other party.

However, as Lan Meng's desire to complain continued to rise, he also looked through the tulle in front of him and found a figure sitting there at this time. Suddenly his pupils shrank suddenly, because he found that he seemed to be entering the main hall. Never noticed each other.

But looking at the opponent's appearance, he seemed to have stayed there all the time. It was obvious that the opponent was much stronger than him in terms of strength alone.

And while Lan Meng was secretly vigilant, the figure behind the tulle seemed to notice his gaze, and chose to speak actively.

"Lord Lan Meng..."

Accompanied by a somewhat ethereal female voice, Lan Meng was taken aback suddenly, because he suddenly found that he didn't seem to know how to salute.

Ying is a standard practical school, so some confidantes including Kutiao Shaluo do not need to salute in private on weekdays, and this time it is the same, so Lan Meng skipped the stage of 'salting' directly.

So what should I do now?

As if seeing the doubts in Lan Meng's heart, the woman behind the tulle spoke again.

"A lot of basic information about you, Lord Lan Meng, has been conveyed to me by the 'General', so I know that you are from a country other than Daozuma, so please just act according to your habits..."

Hearing this, Lan Meng was relieved and at the same time bowed slightly towards the other party.

It's just that what Lan Meng didn't notice was that the little fox who left him after he entered the 'main hall' was silently coiled in the corner of the room and looked at him with a smile on his face.

It is obvious that Yae Miko is very satisfied with the current development, and the next step is to collect information.

She is quite confident about this...

Chapter 20 Keep working hard for 'Conquer'!

Because of Yae Shenzi's words, Lan Meng didn't choose to sit on her knees in some newspaper offices, but directly sat cross-legged at the lower head and simply communicated with Yae Shenzi who was sitting behind the tulle above.

That's right, the two didn't talk about 'the general's reward' right away, but chatted instead.

According to the words of Yae Shenzi, "I have stayed on Narugami Island since birth and is very interested in the outside world but has never left, so I hope Lan Meng can talk to him about the outside world."

There is no doubt that whether it is the choice of the person who leads the way, or the way Lan Meng chooses to salute, or this seemingly family-like communication is actually in Yae Shenzi's plan.

First, she uses her maidens to create a serious atmosphere, then she creates a sense of mystery by covering herself, and finally she uses a relatively gentle attitude to let Lan Meng relax unconsciously and develop a good impression of herself, so that she can gain more in communication. intelligence.

Not only to collect intelligence, but she also intends to take the opportunity to do a 'test'.

To put it simply, she got part of the information from there. She may not be able to distinguish the authenticity of this part of the information, but at this time her trumpet 'Little Fox Yae' has successfully sneaked into Lanmeng's shop before and went to the other end of the portal. ', then she can compare these seemingly useless information one by one.

It seems meaningless at first glance, but it can actually be used to test Lan Meng's attitude.

If everything is correct, it means that Lan Meng's attitude is more sincere, but if even these basic information Lan Meng needs to make up lies, then it means that Lan Meng must still hide a bigger secret. Under the circumstances, the attitude towards Lanmeng naturally needs to be changed.

You don't need to explore the secrets of Blue Dream too much, just need some seemingly simple communication, Yae Shenzi has already made all the preparations.

As Ying said, she can always trust the other party when dealing with business, because the other party will definitely be able to handle everything well.

And after Shenzi obtained the information he wanted, he simply changed the topic to serious business.

I have to say that Shenzi's acting skills are very good. At this time, Lan Meng didn't even notice that the "Master Gong Si" who was communicating with her in front of her was the little fox who had been screamed by her RUA before.

In his opinion, although this lord of the palace secretary is not easy to get in touch with at first glance, after all, the other party has been staying behind the tulle and is unwilling to show up, and although the other party's voice is very nice, but he doesn't know why there is always a An unreal feeling of mistyness.

But...it's not annoying, but the curiosity about the outside world coupled with the somewhat ethereal voice can't help but attract people.

However, Lan Meng also curiously asked the other party why he didn't come out to take a look. Although it was unlikely that the other party would travel around like an ordinary person, it shouldn't be a big problem to simply take a look when visiting in an open capacity, right?

But who would have thought that the other party would tell Lan Meng that only if she stays on Narugami Island can the operation of the enchantment be guaranteed.

Lan Meng didn't know whether this matter was well known, or the other party believed him simply because of the "general"'s approval, but he didn't know why Lan Meng felt a kind of tenacity different from sadness from the other party's words, as if It's like hiding some secret that he doesn't know.

If it was said that it was more for cliché acting skills before, then when Lan Meng mentioned this issue, Yae Shenzi couldn't help but think of the "Master Huzhai Palace" who sacrificed to protect himself and everyone.

Why does the once eccentric little fox now take over the position of palace secretary?

It's very simple, just as Kage stubbornly regards himself as an indispensable part of his "plan" in order to protect this land, Yae Miko also wishes to protect this place from the bottom of his heart.

She and Ying are not just simple masters and dependents, but also companions who work hard to support each other for the same goal.

Perhaps because she noticed that her tone was not quite right, Yae Miko simply changed the topic...or put the topic back on track.

"Your Excellency Lan Meng, I'm sorry, I accidentally said so many irrelevant things. In fact, I have already learned from the general in advance about the purpose of 'Master General' asking you to come here..."

This sentence is not nonsense, or she was there when Zai Ying asked Lan Meng to come to Narugami Taisha and guessed the other party's purpose. Most likely, she deliberately asked Lan Meng to come here for revenge. As for lying?She was at the scene with a trumpet and she got the news from Ying. It can be said that she didn't lie a word.

However, there must be no nonsense about Yingling Lanmeng's real purpose, so she simply made up a reason.

"I've made people ready about what to give you..."

While talking, the other party tapped lightly with the folding fan, and then saw a wooden tray next to the other party grow four legs and climbed in front of Lan Meng, and then Lan Meng looked at the tray with a puzzled expression. in something.

An amulet and a... sachet?

He can understand that Yushou is a talisman, but what does it mean to give him a sachet?

And just after Lan Meng took the two things, Shenzi also started to explain in due course.

"I made that guard with my own hands. Not only does it have the effect of avoiding disasters, but as long as you feel danger in Inazuma territory, you can tear it up directly. At that time, the shrine maidens will come to protect you , As for these petals, they are the petals that fell from the 'Thunder Cherry Tree' today, and they are edible, so I guess it will be useful to you as a chef, Lan Meng, right?"

Compared with the guard who was said to be able to protect him, Lan Meng's attention was more focused on the so-called 'petals of the thunder cherry tree'.

"The petals of the thunder cherry tree

Category: food

Grade: C

Description: The petals of the thunder cherry tree planted by the "Raytheon" seem to be contaminated by the power of distraction under the influence of Narujin Taisha

Effect: After eating, it can increase the weak thunder attribute"

Originally, Lan Meng thought that the 'general' who asked him to come to Narugami Taisha might be planning to go through a process. After all, according to Kujo, he was not only a simple 'royal chef', but also officially served under the general's command. The general's noble, but did not expect there to be other rewards?

And it was actually the ingredient reward he most wanted to get!

Not only that, this ingredient is actually related to that 'Thor'!

Although he passed the assessment this time, the task was considered to be over, and did not continue to trigger the next task, but Lan Meng was still not satisfied with this time, after all, according to the reaction in the room, the other party did not seem to be as interested as Jiu Tiao or other guests. With too many reactions, Lan Meng still didn't achieve his plan to conquer the opponent's... stomach.

If you use ingredients related to the other party, maybe you can go further?

Just as Lan Meng was thinking about the next plan, Yae Shenzi's voice came from the other side.

"It's getting late, Your Excellency Lan Meng, please go and prepare lunch for the 'General'."

Although you didn't mention yourself in the other party's words, he also heard the meaning of "seeing off" in the other party's words. After a simple farewell without any delay, Lan Meng turned and left the main hall.

And until then, there was a long sound of breathing in the main hall...

Chapter 21 'Feeding a tiger with your body'

As Lan Meng left, Yae Shenzi was also completely relieved.

Although strictly speaking, the difficulty of meeting Lan Meng is much simpler than what she needs to do during major festivals or sacrificial activities, but the pressure is not the same, after all, it is related to one's "life and death (social)" !

But at least this problem has come to an end, and it is unlikely that the other party will see him again in a short time.

As if she had taken off some burden, Yae Kamiko collapsed directly. At this time, she did not have the sense of 'nobility' that she deliberately created before, but stretched her waist lazily, but at this moment, She suddenly remembered one thing.

The average person who knows about his own affairs probably won't gossip casually, plus he can divide his identity and probably can get through smoothly, but...

"That kid from Shenli's family is not easy to fool. He is a little fox just like his father. I must remind him to tell the other party directly that this is about Ying's mission. He should be obedient, right? No, add another insurance policy. , how about 'by the way' to remind the other party that if he has no intention of leaking information, I will tell the other party's sister that he is actually having an affair with that blond boy..."

A certain unscrupulous fox was thinking about a plan to threaten innocent citizens, and Lan Meng on the other side saw the unsmiling witch again after leaving the 'main hall'.

After the other party nodded silently towards him, he began to lead the way for Lan Meng, because this road was the same road when he came, so Lan Meng saw the fox statue by the roadside again, and at this time Lan Meng finally couldn't help it.

"Miss Witch."

"Your Excellency Lan Meng, what's the matter?"

Although the other party seemed a bit indifferent, this witch's performance was impeccable. It's a pity that Lan Meng didn't care about these things at all. He just asked the question he cared most about.

"I heard from Lord General that Narugami Taisha Shrine is the largest settlement of fox demons in the entire Inazuma...why didn't I see any of them along the way?"

While talking about Lan Meng, he unconsciously glanced at the head of the witch in front of him, as if two fox ears would pop out there if he was not careful.

But the other party didn't seem to care at all, just nodded indifferently.

"Yes, but on weekdays, everyone generally lives near the 'Sacred Tree' behind the main hall..."

Hearing this, Lan Meng couldn't help sighing silently, thinking that he could "self-service RUA little fox", but he didn't expect that he was not in the same area.

Seeing Lan Meng's undisguised disappointed expression, the lady who led the way was in a delicate mood.

"As expected of the palace secretary, you actually guessed what this guest was thinking..."

That's right, Yae Shenzi, who already knew a little about Lanmeng, had already told his maiden how to answer the question about Lanmeng.

What the other party said is true, but the problem is that the current leader of the fox demon family is "Miss Shenzi who loves to tease people". , In fact, they are usually running around in Narugami Taisha Shrine, and even the entire Shadow Mountain. After all, this place can almost be regarded as the territory of the entire fox demon clan.

The sacrifice of the Huzhai Palace back then, the Linghu demon clan had a very detached status in the entire Dao's wife.

But today Yae Miko informed Saitama and other little foxes in advance to hide and not to come out. The reason is naturally that the guest is related to the general and needs to be serious.

Because they even acted as 'welcome foxes' when the general visited before, naturally I didn't think much about it.

In other words, the reason why Lan Meng didn't meet his favorite furry today was not because his luck was really bad, but because the furry had been hidden in advance.

Looking at Lan Meng's disappointed expression, Miss Miko lamented that Miko had foresight, while Yae Shenzi, who was the culprit of all, was silently lying in Lan Meng's arms with a bright smile on his face.

It's just that he doesn't know whether this smile is because he helped his clansmen avoid disaster, or because he can monopolize Lanmeng, the 'humanoid massager'.

The lady witch sent the somewhat lost Lan Meng all the way to the gate of the shrine, and Lan Meng gradually recovered from the lost state. He seemed to suddenly remember something, and also took out a wooden token from his arms.

"By the way, this is the 'identity certificate' given to me by the general. I'm going back now. Do I need to hand in this thing?"

Because it has been identified by the system before, this so-called 'identity certificate' does not have any strange effects, and it is not a special item, so Lan Meng is very calm, but what he did not expect is that Miss Witch But it seems a little surprised.

Is there anything wrong with this?

And the other party seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with her expression, so she quickly patched herself up.

"This is something that 'Lord Thunder God' bestowed on you, Your Excellency Lanmeng. Naturally, you don't need to give it to us, and with this certificate, you can also come to pay homage to us at will..."
