The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

"Ye Yue, I will protect you." Ming Xue felt the warmth coming from behind and spoke softly, but then she grabbed Ye Yue's hands tightly, trying to pry them apart.

Ye Yue buried her face in Ming Xue's back and breathed softly, "We will support you, so... please protect yourself."

The skin on his back was blown by Ye Yue's breath. The price of Gui Yan's second contract made his skin more sensitive. Ye Yue's breath made his body tremble and his legs became weak.

He was quite sure that if someone put his arms around his waist, he would not be able to stand.

That's why he was so anxious to pry Ye Yue's hands apart. If he let her continue to hug him, his male identity would be exposed.

"I, I understand. You, you should go back to your room first. You will be busy tomorrow." Ming Xue replied with a blushing face.

Ye Yue let go of her hand after hearing this and asked Ming Xue a question.

"Xiaoxue, does your future husband really have to be...from Kyoto?"

"...I don't know, but this is what we promised Inari Shrine for now."

"Really?" Ye Yue lowered her head slightly, and nervously pinched the hair beside her ear with her right hand. "Then if I am really forced to marry someone from Kyoto... or the Yu, Hanyu family, will you be unhappy?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I don't have a boy I like yet." Ming Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Yue let go of her hand, and turned to say to Ye Yue.

He is a boy, so of course he doesn't have any boys he likes. His sexual orientation is normal, so at most he only has good friends. But with his looks... the probability of him having good friends is harder than finding bones in eggs.

When Ye Yue heard Ming Xue's words, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

As long as Xiaoxue doesn’t have a man she likes, I can still continue to be friends with Mingxue... Do I just want to continue to be friends with Xiaoxue?

Ye Yue suddenly realized that her deepest desire was not only for the peace of mind in front of her, but also for the greed for the future.

Her inner anxiety and joy mixed together like two flavors of sauce, making her feel mixed emotions and difficult to make a choice.

"What's wrong?" Ming Xue saw that Ye Yue didn't answer and thought that she had answered wrong, so she asked a little worriedly.

Ye Yue waved her hands, "I, I'm fine, I...I'll go back to my room first."

After saying that, she turned around and ran out of the room where Mingxue was without waiting for her answer.

Mingxue looked at Ye Yue's departing back and wanted to ask her to stay, but the words couldn't come out of her lips, as if something was blocking them.

Does Ye Yue have that kind of feeling towards me? After all, the last dream has proved that Ye Yue seems to have that tendency...

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, I'll go to bed first." He suddenly felt that he was a little narcissistic. What if he was wrong and others didn't think so? Wouldn't it make him seem self-indulgent?

After all, Ye Yue doesn’t know her true gender yet, and her sexual orientation is normal.

Maybe I was overthinking it? And Ye Yue also forgot what happened in the dream.

After taking off her clothes, Mingxue lay down on the bed with something on her mind, closed her eyes slightly, and fell into a dream.

Under the familiar cherry tree, Mei Yu was still brewing tea that she would never finish.

　"I thought you wouldn't come today?" Although Mei Yu had a smile on her face, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.

Mingxue sat at the Meiyu table and picked up the tea skillfully. "Are you angry?"

Mei Yu tilted her head and smiled: "No?"

"After this incident is over, I will go to Inari Taisha to look for your information. Don't worry." Ming Xue took a sip of tea, then patted her chest and said, "I will let you..."

"I never care about those things. I only think about whether it is safe for you to do this?" Mei Yu picked up the teapot and poured water into Ming Xue's teacup.

Mingxue fell silent.

"I will face it with you tomorrow." Mei Yu put the teapot away and looked at Ming Xue seriously, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Focus on resting, and then cheer up and face things positively tomorrow, instead of just thinking about me now."

Mingxue blushed and turned her head to look in other directions, "You're so annoying."

Mei Yu covered her mouth and smiled, and reached out to touch Ming Xue's head, "You are so stupid, that's why I'm helping you."

Upon hearing this, Mingxue angrily moved Meiyu's hand away from his head.

Mei Yu looked at Ming Xue's angry expression and thought it was cute, so she continued to tease her, "You are a self-limiting idiot. You only called three people, and you can consider me. Does that mean my fighting power is weak?"

"I, I just..."

"Because I'm a wandering soul and have no physical body, you didn't include me?"

"I'm just worried that you will be implicated." Ming Xue lowered her head timidly.

Mei Yu raised her head slightly, "Isn't that just a fool?"

Mingxue fell silent.

Seeing Mingxue didn't say anything, Meiyu blinked, wondering if she had teased her too hard, so she softened her heart, leaned forward and prepared to apologize and comfort Mingxue.

But Mingxue suddenly looked up and tapped her forehead with her right hand!

"Ah!" Mei Yu rolled on the ground, covering her forehead.

Mingxue puffed her lips slightly, crossed her arms and said, "Next time if you tease me like this again, I will only come once a week."

"We are in soul contact. It really hurts when you hit my forehead!" Mei Yu sat up and shouted with tears in her eyes.

"It's normal that it hurts. It lets you learn your lesson." Ming Xue turned her head and closed her eyes, thinking that out of sight, out of mind wouldn't hurt. But when she heard Mei Yu's cry of pain, her heart softened. So she opened her eyes slightly and observed, and found that Mei Yu was already shedding tears. She immediately felt guilty.

"Does that really hurt?"

"It hurts so much, it hurts right to my soul!"

"Yes, sorry, let me take a look." Mingxue couldn't sit still this time. She stood up and leaned forward, crossing the table, wanting to check Meiyu's forehead.

The corners of Mei Yu's mouth slightly raised at this moment.

When Mingxue saw this smile, she immediately realized that she had fallen into a trap, but it was too late. Meiyu retaliated in the same way and gave Mingxue a slap on the head!

This time it was Mingxue's turn to cover her head and cry.

"You're cheating! I'm going to complain!"

"Sure! Call Hanayo and the others over."

"Well, forget it, they are all resting." Ming Xue's resentment immediately dissipated, because if he really called the girls over, he would feel that he was the one being bullied.

Mei Yu snorted triumphantly, crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the glory and joy of turning defeat into victory.

Boom! ⑨

Mei Yu cried out and covered her head again.

Ming Xue retracted her hand and looked serious. "I plan to attack the replica ghost tomorrow. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"The Golden Pavilion Temple was probably controlled by that ghost that day. Maybe the road you are heading to tomorrow will be filled with replicas of ghosts. Tourists on the road should not believe them." Mei Yu heard this and analyzed, "I hope you don't care about those things and go directly to the direction with the largest spiritual fluctuations."④

"Then I'll leave this to you." Mingxue picked up the teapot and poured tea into Meiyu's cup, "This way I'll have the energy to guard against attacks."

Mei Yu's eyes widened. "Oh? You mean... you want to give me the right to use part of your body?"

Ming Xue nodded slightly, "If it's a fierce battle...if I pass out, I hope you can continue to fight for me or abandon my body and escape by yourself." Liu

Mei Yu was silent for a while, then she said, "Don't be so pessimistic, don't you still have them?"

"If things are very pessimistic, calling them over... wouldn't that be harming them?" Ming Xue put down the teapot.

"Your old problem has come back again."

"Hmm? An old problem?"

"Take my headbutt!" Mei Yu didn't even use her hands this time. She simply jumped over the table and hit Ming Xue's head with her head.

With a thud, the two men collapsed to the ground, one above and one below.

"Remember, you have us. We will get through this together. Isn't this how we all got through it?" Mei Yu endured the pain and shouted to Ming Xue under her with tears in her eyes.

Chapter 48: This Ghost Wants to Fuck Me [Two in One]

Kinkaku-ji Temple is a tourist attraction centered on the garden. The Mirror Lake Pond and the Golden Pavilion complement each other and are a representative landscape of Kyoto.

Especially today with the fine weather, walking along the road outside Kinkaku-ji Temple you can enjoy the magnificent Golden Pavilion and the blue sky reflected in the Mirror Lake, which is as beautiful as a postcard.

Here, tourists are not given admission tickets but paper charms with blessings written on them. In addition, there are Chinese and Korean fortune sticks for divination next to the Fudo Hall in the courtyard.

If it weren't for those replica ghosts disguised as tourists, everything here would really give Mingxue the leisure to stop and appreciate it.

Because some of the cloned ghosts simply don't act. Their faces are very much like the pseudo-people in urban legends. The faces of humans are no longer carefully sculpted, but they go out with crooked faces. Three nostrils are the norm. What's even more terrifying are the ones with a full mouth, and they pretend to say that the weather is good.

The "people" with normal faces around didn't find it strange at all. They just walked by with normal looks on their faces, without even the slightest curiosity.

Ming Xue walked on the street, looking at the ghosts walking on the street openly, she felt that the hot summer sun could not reveal the true faces of these ghosts, but instead gave them a disguise.

So since the ghosts were not pretending anymore, he simply stopped pretending too, and directly picked up the collar of a walking copy ghost next to him, "Take me to see your source, your boss."

The ghost copy was silent for a while, looked Mingxue up and down, and then said: "I'll wait for you in Kinkakuji."

As soon as he finished speaking, the replica ghost and the replica ghosts on the street turned into a puddle of water, which scared some tourists who accidentally strayed into the place and made them flee.

Mingxue looked at the water along the way, threw away the clothes in her hands, and set out on the road to Kinkakuji Temple.

Perhaps the replica ghost intentionally cleared the venue, and Mingxue could not see a single ghost or person on the road she ran to.

[The source of the aura is in front of the Kinkakuji Temple. Strange, there is only one aura... Is it really going to fight to the death? ]

The voice of Mei Yu sounded in Mingxue's mind.

"If that's the case, it will be convenient for us." Ming Xue answered while quickening her pace.

[I'm afraid there might be something we didn't expect. Being too normal is abnormal. This ghost could have left, but he insisted on meeting you. He must have some ulterior motive.]

Mingxue looked at the Golden Pavilion Temple just ahead and fell into confusion and doubt.

Kinkakuji Temple is a residential building with a Buddhist temple-like shape. It is a masterpiece of typical Japanese courtyard architecture.

The Golden Pavilion is a courtyard with "a building with visible pillars on all sides and few walls". The overall structure is very much like a ship, and the clear water pool below gives it a symbol of the sea. The Golden Pavilion is like a ship sailing across the sea of ​​time.

But in the setting sun at dusk, the green pool seemed to be dripping with blood, and the Golden Pavilion inlaid with gold foil was covered with a layer of blood, as if the ghost temple in hell had broken through the barrier between reality and illusion with the help of this "time of the devil" and came to the other side of the world from the illusory underworld.

"I thought you wouldn't come. In half an hour, the Investigation Department will be able to discover the abnormality here. Even if they are under investigation, they still have the necessary inspection capabilities."

A voice came from the Golden Pavilion.

Mingxue looked up at the Golden Pavilion.

"I'll be waiting for you on the top floor of the third floor." The voice of the copied source ghost continued to come, and compared to the lifeless voice last time, this time there was a touch of emotion.

Mingxue frowned slightly. He found that the other person was becoming more and more like a human.

Some people say that human hearts are scarier than ghosts. Are ghosts with human hearts scarier?

[The third floor is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of bows and arrows. If necessary, draw the sword first.]

The reminder of the plum rain sounded in my mind.

Mingxue nodded, then jumped onto the Golden Pavilion, and went upstairs while taking a quick look.

But the ghost source seemed to really just want to fight Mingxue alone. There was almost no ghost on the way upstairs, not even a living creature.

Although it was eerie, it also made it convenient for Mingxue. When he was about to reach the third floor, he quietly pasted the badge on the corridor and established a teleportation point.

Ming Xue confirmed that the badge was lit up and could be used before going upstairs to the third floor.

The space on the third floor is smaller than that on the first and second floors. The surrounding walls are just fenced, and the whole place is well ventilated. Even the setting sun sitting in the clouds in the sky can be seen from here.

Strategically speaking, this is not an ideal location for an ambush.

Ming Xue walked into the third floor of the attic and saw a blonde girl in a shrine maiden's costume sitting in the middle, with a samurai sword in a purple scabbard in front of her.

When he approached, the witch raised her head slightly and opened her emerald green eyes.

Mingxue looked at the other person's face and was shocked. Although the hair and eye colors were different, the face and figure were exactly the same as his.

"I've been wondering why I couldn't imitate you at all, until I accidentally copied a male version of you, and then I found that the copy rate was very close." The blonde girl stood up and picked up the samurai sword with a purple sheath. "So you are a boy?"

Mingxue remained silent, but raised her hand slightly and touched her chest.

"I want to apologize to you. It was wrong to invite you to reproduce as a man, so I should invite you to reproduce as a woman." The blonde girl said, "You can call me Annie. This is the new name I chose myself."

Ming Xue reached into her chest and pulled out the demon sword Mist Cutting from it, and smeared the blood on the demon sword, "This has never been a question of men and women, but I simply will not accept your proposal."

"Then we can only use victory or defeat to decide who belongs to whom, just like animals, whoever is stronger decides the distribution." The source copy ghost or Annie pulled out the samurai sword in her hand, and the moment the sword was pulled out, a purple electric current appeared, and the blade flashed with purple light.

[Demon Blade Raikiri, this sword...isn't it on Kyushu Island? I remember it should be kept by the local investigation bureau]

Mingxue heard Meiyu's words in her mind and immediately asked Annie, "Where did you get this knife?"

"The Resurrection Society wants me to copy some other things, but I don't want to get involved with them. Their president is too weird." Annie raised the Raqir in her hand and pointed it at Mingxue, saying, "I want to cooperate with you."

Mingxue shook her head, "But I don't want to cooperate with you!"
