Come and connect with me!

"Hehe, you can praise me more. After all, when I was in White Eagle, my friends would say the same thing about me. Of course, I won't tell them that I actually like to hear such comments."

"Well, let me think...charming, elegant, generous, and considerate York?"

"Hahaha."

York City covered her mouth and chuckled. She kept smiling and looked at Wuming's face silently. The latter also stopped and looked back at her gently. Unknowingly, the distance between them had become very close - just a little further than the distance between their hearts.

So, following their inner thoughts, the two heads moved closer and closer, and they kissed each other amid the rustling sound of leaves.

After a long while, the two walked out of the woods hand in hand, and their steps became lighter.

"Ah, a miko costume, how nice."

As they walked, Wuming suddenly exclaimed with a look of happiness on his face.

"I know. I'll wear it for you to see."

Yorktown said helplessly.

"I hope this type of clothing isn't too difficult to wear. The last time I wore a spray suit, if it wasn't sprayed evenly, my back would always feel a little cold. Fortunately, it melted quickly when it came into contact with hot water."

"Oh, it seemed to be orange flavored that time..."

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the largest and only shrine in the port area. This shrine has no name. Wuming, the commander of the port area, threw this task to Yamashiro to handle. However, Yamashiro had no confidence, so he could only use "Shrine" as the name of the area. In order to help her increase the flow of tourists, Akashi creatively added a magical setting of having whatever you want, letting God and Buddha stay on the same screen, making this shrine even more difficult to define.

"Yorktown, thank you for coming to help... huh?"

Fuso was cleaning up fallen leaves with a broom at the entrance of the shrine. When she heard the sound, she turned around, stopped talking midway, and looked at Wuming with a puzzled look.

"Isn't your highness going to be busy this afternoon?"

"No matter how busy you are, you can always spare some time to help."

Wuming scratched his head and said with a smile.

Fuso pursed his lips, his expression softening.

"Well, thank you very much, Your Highness."

As he said this, Fuso frowned in distress again.

"Your Highness, I didn't prepare any clothes for you to change into. The shrine is dirty everywhere right now... Well, please put on this black shrine robe, and change back into your clothes when you come out."

Fuso, who was dressed in a gorgeous shrine maiden's costume, hurried into the shrine while speaking. Wuming looked at the crowd of shrine maidens and priests outside the shrine, all of them looking at him with innocent faces.

"Just treat it as a holiday and have fun."

The shrine is so huge that it is impossible for Yamashiro to clean it alone. This somewhat clumsy shrine maiden is easily influenced by others, and with the teachings of Shinano and Akashi, she has thrown away all the traditional ways. It is only natural for the little yellow chicken to come and help.

After a moment, Wuming heard a familiar voice again.

"Yamashiro, quick, take a picture for me while Fuso is away!"

Chapter 1142

As they entered the shrine, Wuming saw Nagashima excitedly making a scissors hand gesture and leaning against the cash box, while Yamashiro raised his camera with an embarrassed look on his face and pressed the shutter rapidly.

Click, click, click!

"How strange that I see you here."

Wuming said in surprise.

The Nagashima in front of him had changed into a not-so-formal shrine maiden costume, with the familiar red bottom and white top. Her black hair was rarely tied up, with a big red bow behind her head. The top was separated from the cuffs at the shoulders, and the sense of déjà vu was a bit too strong.

"Hehe, Fuso has to thoroughly tidy up the shrine. It will be difficult for Miss Ghost to come over anytime and anywhere to cosplay like she does now, so we have to release all the characters we want now."

"Woo, Your Highness!"

Shancheng also looked over with a bitter face.

"Sister Fuso said that I have to get up early every day from now on..."

She pursed her lips, her face full of reluctance.

Before Fuso came back, Shancheng slept until she was full every day, and played games and watched TV series at night. Now that her sister is back, she is forced to have a normal schedule. When she thinks about the foreseeable future, Shancheng's face is wrinkled like a rag.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up, if Fuso hears the shutter sound, I'll be finished."

The homegirl Nagashima couldn't help but urge him out loud, forcing Yamashiro to pout and continue filming.

"But even so, the two of you won't be enough, right?"

Wuming looked around and saw that the shrine occupied quite a large area. It would be extremely difficult for the two shrine maidens, Yamashiro and Fuso, to do daily cleaning and maintenance. After all, judging from its scale, the shrine in the port area was undoubtedly an extremely large shrine. There were more than a dozen wild birds maintaining the operation of the shrine. According to the calculation method that one wild bird was equal to nine fat people or three adults, it would take at least twenty or thirty shrine maidens to operate the shrine normally.

"Okay, that's it."

Nagashima had shown enough posture before letting the poor Yamashiro go. When she heard Wuming's words, she couldn't help but speak up to help and give some advice.

"Or, we can simply adjust the growth rate of the surrounding plants. As long as the leaves don't fall, there's no need to clean so many mountain paths... We can also put dust removal equipment directly inside the shrine, which will save 99% of the work!"

"Hmm... Fuso-san doesn't look like she would approve."

The cat witch shook her ears and tried to imagine according to Nagashima's idea, but she shuddered immediately after just thinking about it. She instinctively thought of the consequences and shook her head repeatedly.

"I will definitely be blamed by Sister Fuso..."

Wuming also felt that it was inappropriate. If there was no scene of the shrine maidens sweeping the fallen leaves in the shrine, the entire shrine would become inauthentic.

"Cough cough."

As Wuming was thinking, he heard a deliberate cough behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a tall and beautiful witch looking at him with a little annoyance.

"You said you wanted to see me in a miko costume, but you turned around and forgot about it?"

York City frowned slightly, trying to appear angry, but she was still the gentle woman by nature. There was no trace of gloom in her sapphire-like eyes. Her silver hair was tied into a ponytail, and her thick hair was gently wrapped around her head and fell in front of her chest. The white witch costume on her upper body covered her plumpness tightly, only revealing some of her outlines. The red skirt was tight around her waist and had a simple rope buckle at the waist. Under the bright red skirt, York City's slender thighs were covered, and only her bare feet in wooden clogs were revealed.

"oh....."

Wuming was stunned by Yorktown's different dress. Although her temperament and posture were different from those of orthodox shrine maidens like Yamashiro Fuso, this actually highlighted Yorktown's gentle temperament. He inexplicably had the illusion that she was a newlywed wife waiting for her husband at the door.

"Crack!"

But it was Changdao who raised his camera with shining eyes and took a lot of photos of York City.

"As expected of Yorktown, you've worn it to show everything I want. Come on, Yorktown, take my wand, I'll take two more pictures!"

"That's not a magic wand, call it a magic wand!"

Shancheng muttered helplessly.

Yorktown posed in front of the camera with her hands raised a little uncomfortably. Although it was obvious that she was swinging the imperial coin as if she was waving a war hammer, she was a beauty after all. She would look good even in a sack, not to mention that this finely crafted shrine maiden costume could set off her beautiful appearance and made her look quite decent.

"You guys are talking about the worry that the shrine won't be able to function without Manju, right?"

The pose was set, and York City kept talking.

"We can ask everyone to help in the short term, but it won't work for a long time. We still have to think of a solution."

As she said this, she and Wuming paused at the same time. The latter looked over her shoulder directly at the gate of the shrine. A golden figure was bowing slightly towards the red arch in front of the shrine. That was the last torii gate in front of the worship hall. Her hands were slightly moisturized, and it was obvious that she had gone through the previous process.

"Yamato?"

Wuming read out the name of the person hesitantly.

"Nameless... Commander, Your Excellency."

Yamato pronounced Wuming's name a little awkwardly, paused, and then she added.

"No, it should be the commander."

Yamato, the former and current flagship of the Sakura Empire, was clearly not used to the current situation of having multiple people on his head, but he was mentally prepared after all, and he continued to speak fluently.

"I heard that there is a shrine of the Sakura Empire in the port area, so I came here to visit without permission..."

She looked at Yorktown and showed a slightly confused expression at the right moment.

"Miss Yorktown, what are you doing?"

"Come and help me. Of course, I also want to come and wear the miko costume for once."

Yorktown smiled gracefully. In front of Wuming, her temperament was gentle and gave people a sense of intimacy. However, facing Yamato, who she was not familiar with yet, she straightened her back and was calm and composed. Even though she was wearing the so-called "God's Servant" clothes, she did not show any fear, and even had a sense of looking down from a high position.

"Miss York City might be more suitable to be a god."

Yamato chuckled and could tell at a glance that the fake miko was actually Yorktown from White Eagle.

"Perhaps, but Miss Yamato, the shrine is a bit busy right now, so I may not be able to entertain you properly."

Yorktown spoke as he watched the slight vibrations in the shrine.

"That's fine. If you need help, I can still take care of the shrine or something like that."

Yamato said in a gentle tone.

“Oh, His Majesty Yamato from the outside world.”

The cat miko Yamashiro looked at Yamato and her eyes widened slightly.

"Since His Highness Yamato calls His Highness the commander, then he can be trusted, huh."

Yamashiro blinked in place.

"Then I'll ask you to help me persuade Sister Fuso!"

Chapter 1143: Come over quickly to complete the mission

Yamato tilted his head and didn't respond to Yamashiro immediately. Instead, he looked at Wuming.

"Commander, you should be able to give orders to Fuso directly."

"That's true, but if I get involved in everything, I'll definitely regret it, in every sense of the word."

Wuming shrugged. He could see that after Yamato arrived, Nagashima became much more well-behaved. He put the camera in his arms and acted like a well-behaved child.

"Well."

Yamato raised an eyebrow, then looked towards Yamashiro and nodded slowly.

"I'll do my best."

Now Musashi is pestering Noshiro from the port area. Yamato sees that the feelings between the two are deepening and she cannot get a word in, so she excuses herself and walks around. For her, this port area is full of secrets. After learning that there is a shrine here, curiosity immediately urges her to come here. After all, even the completed version of the descent ceremony cannot defeat Noshiro's sword. It is hard for Yamato to imagine what kind of gods will be enshrined in such a port area.

With Yamato joining them, Nagashima having finished taking photos, and Yorktown having changed his clothes, the group strolled around the shrine together, half looking for Fuso and half with the idea of ​​sightseeing, and they walked through the halls at a leisurely pace.

"......I see."

Yamato whispered to himself.

It turns out that these guys completely regard the shrine as a useless wonder, essentially similar to a tourist attraction in Sakura Empire. They don't expect the shrine to be of much help, and during festivals, they just go there to burn incense when they remember to - and they can also sell some amulets by the way.

With this in mind, it’s no surprise that lucky cats can be seen everywhere in this shrine.

"But, Miko, we still have to follow the rules. We can't not get up early."

"Oh, but the bed is so comfortable."

Yamashiro whispered, "She was sleepy, gluttonous, and careless, those immature traits lingered on her, making Yamato feel complicated."

Smart people are not born smart, and diligence is not an inherent trait of any person. In an era where quick wits are needed to make a living, wise men emerge in endlessly. If you cannot survive without working, there will be hardworking people everywhere. The clumsy and lazy cat witch in front of you has long since turned from a wild cat into a domestic cat.

"If it's so difficult, then I'll talk to Fuso."

Sure enough, Yamato heard Wuming's slightly helpless voice the next second, followed by Yamashiro's joyful shout.

"Your Highness is the best, as you know in Shancheng!"

The cat witch laughed and gave Wuming a big hug. All his worries were completely swept away.

Yamato could only remain silent.

Yorktown raised his eyes and deliberately fell half a step behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yamato.

"Relax a little. Fighting is a means, not an end. If you always think in a war-like way, you won't be able to live a peaceful life."

"But there has never been a so-called peaceful day in this world."

Yamato shook his head and looked at Wuming's back. He was now being pulled by Yamashiro's arm to jog along the way, unable to wait any longer. Amid the clattering sounds of their wooden clogs, there could be heard Wuming's constant whispers urging him to slow down.

"That's right, but competition and peace are not in conflict. If you think that the harbor is the same as the outside world, then you will definitely live a very tiring life. Try to join the rhythm of the harbor, Yamato."

York City squeezed the imperial coin and spoke softly.

"I know."
