[It's Sakura]
Xia Chuanhu recognized this man.
[It's really an incredible scene. Kallen and Sakura are visiting the temple fair with Sakura's sister Ling in the Far East like a family of three. If this scene were sent to Otto, he would have to change his Soul Steel body several times, right? By the way, there is actually a temple fair at this time? I haven't participated in one for about 30 years, right? ]
[But Bronya, why did you ask me to look at this? ]
(Brother, didn’t you say that these two people need special attention?)
[Uh~~~~ did I say that? ]
(Yes. Do you want to go to the temple fair to conduct follow-up investigation now?)
[If you want to make the Bishop of Heaven's Fate's blood pressure soar, you can try it. Ah, I almost forgot that his blood pressure should not be measured now. ]
Xiachuanhu said with a smile.
[But... this seems to be a good idea. It's a good opportunity for me to go and meet her - can you take me there? ]
(Bronya will try.)
Putting away her phone, Bronya stood up and was about to go with Lin to apply for permission to go out, but she found that Lin, Lily and Nami were already ready to go out.
"Captain Lin, are you going out on a mission?"
"That's right!"
Lin nodded seriously: "Since we don't have any guests here, let's just go to the temple fair and have a good time! Bronya, you should also change your shoes quickly!"
Bronya: "...As you command."
(It seems that there is no need to apply for permission to go out, brother.)
[Bronya... To be honest, I feel like laughing now. ]
13. Summer temple fairs and girls
From ancient times to the present, shrines have always been built on mountains or in forests, and the Yae Shrine is no exception.
Changkong City, which is low-lying in the center, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea, is a very good [relocation place] for the Yae Shrine. After the Yae Shrine, which was originally located in Xicheng District, moved to Dongcheng District, it directly chose a hilltop that is almost separated from its original location by an entire Changkong City.
Although it is a bit far from the city center, it is the only shrine in Changkong City, so it is always crowded when the temple fair starts.
"That being said... there are too many of them, right?!"
Standing in front of the stairs at the foot of the Yae Shrine, looking at the stairs that extended all the way up the mountain, with no idea how many floors there were and the endless flow of people, Lily couldn't help but shout out in surprise.
Lin and Nami were also quite surprised.
Although the three of them have participated in summer festivals before, they are still very young, but to participate in such a large-scale event like this one...
"As expected of the only shrine in Changkong City... Now I know why our cafe has no customers today."
Compared with the situation in front of us where it seemed as if all the people in Changkong City had gathered here, the coffee shop run by the coffee team was just a small pebble on the roadside. The two were completely not on the same level.
After hearing what the three said, an old man who happened to be passing by laughed heartily: "Hahaha! Is this the first time for you little girls to participate in the temple fair of Yae Shrine this year?"
"Yes, yes, yes~~~We just came to Changkong City this year!"
Lily continued the conversation familiarly: "Uncle, are you a local? Is this kind of temple fair held every year?"
"Of course, the Yae Temple Fair held twice a year is a symbol of the beginning and end of summer. But it's not always this lively. Everyone has to go to work during the day. It's already evening now, so you all have time to come here, right?" The uncle said while taking a puff of cigarette, "Since this is your first time here, then enjoy it. The temple fair here is incomparable to other places."
"OK~~~Thank you uncle! You should have fun too!"
(So skilled...)
Watching Lily's behavior, Bronya couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
(She naturally took over the conversation and got some information out. Could it be that Senior Lily is from the intelligence department?)
[Bronya, you think too much. This kid is just talkative and outgoing, right? ]
Xia Chuanhu complained.
[However, it is rare to see such a grand temple fair. Judging from the area, this Yae Shrine is four or five times larger than Ryudo Temple, right? It almost occupies the entire mountain. ]
(Ryudo Temple?)
[It’s just a temple I visited when I was a student, don’t mind it]
(Brother, do you still have your school days?)
[Of course I have. Even though I’m already five figures old, I still had to study when I was your age. Compared to this, stop dawdling and get ready to climb the mountain. I’ve counted the steps for you. There are 500 steps in total. Climb slowly. I’ll go up first.]
As he said that, Xia Chuanhu flew directly to the top of the mountain.
Watching him go away, Bronya suddenly remembered that Xia Chuanhu seemed to have said that he couldn't leave her too far? So what was he doing now...
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Bronya felt her head sink, as if something was pressing down on her.
After reaching out to touch it, Bronya fell silent for a moment as she looked at the little figure of Natsukawa Tiger in her hand.
[…What are you looking at? ]
After staring at Bronya in silence for a while, Xiachuanhu patted her hands.
[You have to take me up there, run faster]
"Hey~~~~ Bronya! What are you still doing standing there? We are going to leave you behind~~~!"
At this moment, Lily, who had already walked a short distance away in a group, turned around and waved to Bronya who was still on the street, saying, "I won't really abandon you, though~~~ Or do you need your sisters to hold you up?"
Wu Yan put the little Xiachuanhu figure on her shoulder, Bronya took a deep breath, and then sprinted directly up the stairs!
Its speed was so fast that it soon surpassed the accuracy of Lily and the others!
“Woooooooooooooooooooooo, are you running so fast?”
Looking at Bronya running towards her quickly, Lily also spread her legs and sprinted towards the top of the hill!
"Hey, Lily, Bronya, run slower! There are too many people here!"
"Captain, it's useless."
Nami smiled and held down her captain: "Since we are out here to have fun, let Lily and Bronya have some fun. I'll bring the instrument to detect Honkai energy, and I'll always pay attention to the surrounding situation."
"Ah~~~~ You're the only one who can make me worry less, Nami. Lily is... too lively."
"But the three of us are the same age. I actually think the captain is a bit more mature."
"Is that right?"
Lin was a little surprised by the sudden comment, and she couldn't help but reflect on her various behaviors since she became the captain - she felt that she didn't seem to be very mature? Wasn't it because Lily was a little cheerful and lively and childish compared to her?
"Yeah, but it's a good thing. Lily and I both need a captain like you."
Nami smiled and walked up the stairs leisurely with her hands behind her back.
Lin touched the ends of his naturally curly hair with some doubt, then smiled gently, walked up and hooked Nami's arm: "You are the only one who can say that! I won't give you a bonus even if you take a picture of my horse!"
"We don't have the funds to pay out prize money."
"Eh? Really?"
"I'm the one who manages the team's finances. Captain, I want to ask what the spending limit is for the four of us today?"
"Well... we'll talk about this later!"
Without thinking too much, Lin smiled and said, "Listen carefully, Nami, it is a waste to worry about expenses when you are having fun! Because the number of times we can do anything in our lifetime is limited, so we should try our best to devote ourselves to everything we do, and don't worry too much about other rules and regulations."
"......This is what Lily said before. Captain, is it okay for you to just copy it?"
"The team members' words are my words! Also, although this sentence may sound a bit nonsense, it still makes some sense~~~ Okay, let's catch up with them! We are about to be left behind by the two of them. If we get separated here, we don't know how long it will take to reunite!"
As he said that, Lin pulled Nami and chased after Bronya and Lily.
Letting herself be pulled forward by Lin, Nami pursed her lips and held back the words she wanted to say.
(We won't get lost, Captain.)
(Because everyone in our team has a GPS installed on their phone.)
14. The Scarlet Fox God Who Loves Fried Tofu
“So~~~~big~~~~!”
Five hundred steps might be difficult for ordinary people to climb, but for the Valkyries who all obtained artificial stigmata, it was at most the level of daily training. The intensity of daily training was even higher, so it didn't take long for all four of them to arrive at the torii of the Yae Shrine.
Seeing the crowds in front of her were even greater than before at the foot of the mountain, as well as the endless stalls and the extremely tall fox statue in the distance, Lily couldn't help but cheer again.
"Captain, Captain! Did you see that? That statue over there is so huge! And doesn't it look super cute?"
"Lily, calm down and don't shake me."
Lin quickly ran away from the overjoyed Lily and looked at the statue in the distance: "I checked a little on the way here, it seems that it is the god enshrined and worshipped by Yae Shrine, and also the land god of Changkong City since ancient times. I think it is called [Scarlet Fox God]?"
"But the statue is white." Bronya took a photo of the statue with her phone. "Why is it called Scarlet Fox God?"
"It seems that the Scarlet Fox God's real name contains the character 'Fly', but this is only the information that can be searched. The specific reason is probably known only to the chief priest of Yae Shrine." Nami explained, "Also, I heard that there are special rules for enshrining the Scarlet Fox God here."
Special rules?
"It is said that if you offer tribute to the Scarlet Fox God, the Scarlet Fox God will not accept anything particularly valuable, and may even get furious. But if you offer fried tofu, the Scarlet Fox God will be particularly happy."
"Hey~~~ What kind of cute god is this?"
Listening to Nami's narration, Lily's eyes looking at the statue of the Scarlet Fox God suddenly became no longer full of awe, but instead filled with a sense of intimacy.
"No wonder there are so many food stalls around here selling fried tofu. I thought it was a fixed menu." Lin glanced around, "Then let's follow the local customs and buy some fried tofu to try. I'll go buy it. What flavor do you want?"
Lily: “Super hot!”
Nami: “The original flavor is fine.”
Lin: "OK~~~Where's Bronya?"
Bronya, who was taking other photos, turned around when she heard this and said, "Bronya is not particular about taste, anything is fine."
"So it's up to you? Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Lin ran to queue up to buy fried tofu, while Lily and Nami got next to Bronya.
"Is Bronya taking pictures?"
"Who are you taking the picture for? Oh, oh, oh, it's a great picture! Can you take a picture of me and Nami too?"
Looking at the photos taken by Bronya, Lily immediately became interested and pulled Nami to Bronya's camera and made a scissors hand gesture together.
After a pause, Bronya also took a photo of the two of them.
"Yeah! That's great, Nami. I think the two of us look really photogenic~~~ Ah, let's ask the captain to take a photo together later?"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Bronya."
"Bronya, it's not hard."
After saving the different photos separately, Bronya shook her head slightly, and then continued to look in other directions.
(It's so lively.)
This is the only thought and sigh in her heart now.
It's not that Bronya hasn't been to busy places. Although she usually lives in an orphanage, she occasionally goes to nearby cities. In addition, she has also been to the United States with Cocolia, and after coming to St. Freya's College, she has also participated in some activities in the college.
But when it comes to pure liveliness and that special atmosphere, this is where Bronya feels it most strongly.
The sea of people seemed to fill the entire shrine, the stalls lined up like a long dragon on both sides of the main road, colorful lights hung in every possible place, the lively music that kept floating and echoing... and the sound of people chatting and laughing in the joyful atmosphere.
(If only Xi'er could see this scene.)
Bronya knew that her roommates and childhood sweethearts liked this happy atmosphere, and although it might be a little noisy for her, it was not a big problem.
Every time there is an activity in the orphanage, it is always noisy, but Xier is always very happy.
(It seems there will be another one at the end of summer. I will talk to Xier later and see if she can come back early.)
This kind of event only happens twice a year, so you have to attend it at least once.
Sitting on Bronya's shoulder and looking at the comfortable smile on her face, Xia Chuanhu also relaxed with satisfaction.
He likes Bronya very much now.
