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

Kuroto Keima, who was walking on the road, was stunned. It seemed that Tabata Yoshitake was sent to the hospital by him...

Chapter 47: Mingxue is a demon?

The next morning, at the foot of Akisui Shrine.

Mingxue and Yunzhi came here together and met Heitong Huayang and Ye Yue who had been waiting here for a long time.

"You came quite early." Heitong Huayang said half-jokingly.

Ming Xue smiled sweetly, "You guys are quite late then."

Heitong Huayang covered her mouth and smiled.

Behind her, Ye Yue shrank back and pulled the bunny hood on her head tighter.

Mingxue noticed something was wrong and asked, "Ye Yue, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I just feel it's too hot. The sun makes me uncomfortable." Ye Yue put her hands on Heitong Huayang's shoulders and said.

Mingxue asked with a hint of curiosity: "Are you vampires afraid of the sun?"

"It's not as exaggerated as the legend says, but I am indeed allergic to the sun's rays." Ye Yue looked at Ming Xue anxiously, "Does Sister Ming Xue hate me for being like this?"

"Not annoying, quite cute." Ming Xue said with a smile.

Ye Yue smiled with joy, but then she remembered that she had sucked Sister Ming Xue's blood, and she shrank back behind Heitong Huayang with some inferiority.

Seeing this, Mingxue knew that the other party was concerned about the blood-sucking, so she still kept smiling, "It's okay, Ye Yue, we are all friends, there is no need to be afraid or inferior."

To be honest, he didn't mind Ye Yue sucking his blood that much.

Because he had already been compensated by Grandma Huixiang, and when Ye Yue sucked his blood, he felt a little comfortable and expectant, but he couldn't say that he was not addicted.

"Sister Mingxue~" Ye Yue appeared from behind Heitong Hanayo again, staring at Mingxue with tears in her eyes.

On the other side, Yun Zhi was looking at Ye Yue warily like a cat, her eyes full of malice towards Ye Yue.

Heitong Huayang smiled bitterly. Yunzhi and Yeyue really loved to toss around, and even put her in the middle.

"Flowers in the sun, leaves in the moon, clouds and bright snow."

At this moment, a strong male voice came into the ears of the four people.

The four people who were playing looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, a string of Buddhist beads on his chest and drawing a cross walking towards them.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ming Xue stepped forward first to ask, and protected the three people behind her.

"Amen!" The old Taoist put his hands together and said like a monk, "Donor, please rest assured. I have no ill intentions."

Mingxue carefully observed this strange man. He had a classic moustache, a broad nose, and a slightly protruding forehead and eyes covered with deep wrinkles. At first glance, his age was about forty or fifty years old, but the scar on the right half of his face added a touch of majesty and ferocity to this kind-looking middle-aged man.

"So what's the matter with you talking to us?" Ming Xue continued to ask.

"Lost lambs, are you going to the mountain?" The strange old Taoist retracted his gesture, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Uncle can take you up here~"

"Sister Mingxue, this is a weird uncle, we should ignore him." Yun Zhi shouted.

Heitong Huayang even grabbed Mingxue's shoulders and said, "Let's go up the mountain quickly. My brother and the others have already gone up."

Mingxue glanced at the strange old Taoist priest in strange clothes and said, "Thank you for your kindness. We have something to do and we'll leave first."

After saying this, Mingxue followed the three girls upstairs and left.

Looking at the four people going upstairs, the old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "How strange."

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, don't run so far, I, huhu, I can't keep up."

Kotaro, wearing a navy blue uniform, ran over from a corner, panting.

"Oh, Kotaro~" The old Taoist priest called Mr. Lin turned around and said with a smile: "Do you have beer fried chicken here?"

"Mr. Lin, our Investigation Bureau does not reimburse meals, thank you." Kotaro sighed, "Let's hurry back to the Investigation Bureau."

"Well, there's no rush. It's been so many years, so it's not bad to come to Japan once." Lin Jianwu stroked his beard, "Besides, I'm just a consultant to your investigation bureau, there's no need to be so anxious."

"I'm not in a hurry either, but it's not appropriate for a Taoist like you...Shiraishinto to be here, right?" Kotaro looked up and down at Lin Jianwu's clothes, which were simply too weird.

"That's wrong. In today's world, if you don't believe in more than three religions, you can't even say you're from the spiritual world." Lin Jianwu raised his index finger and shook it.

The corners of Kotaro's mouth twitched slightly.

"Of course, I came here because I smelled a strange smell." Lin Jianwu turned and looked at the first torii gate of the shrine.

"Strange smell?" Kotaro put his hands on his waist with a nervous look. Ever since the "dummy" incident, the nerves of the investigation bureau have been very sensitive.

"Well, those four JKs just now had a strong smell of demons and monsters." Lin Jianwu frowned slightly, "But they were able to enter the shrine protected by spiritual tools, how strange."

Kotaro didn't understand Lin Jianwu's analysis. He only understood the word JK.

……⒊

Ming Xue and the other three passed through the second torii and came to the hand-washing house (similar to a place to wash hands), where they saw a thin, pale man.

"Ahem, you're finally here." Kinoshita Masatomo extended his hand to Mingxue and said, "I'm Kinoshita Masatomo, deputy captain of the Investigation Bureau. Thank you for your guidance, Meimiya Mingxue."⑸

Ming Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, "I remember the deputy captain was Mr. Fujiwara Takeshi, I didn't expect that the members of your bureau would change so quickly!"

"Currently, the head of the investigation bureau is a part-time deputy to the captain. For the sake of balance and system considerations, most investigation bureaus have two deputy positions." Seeing that Mingxue did not shake his hand, Kinoshita Masatomo retracted it and said, "As for Deputy Captain Fujiwara Takeshi, he has led the team to Tadosho Town to handle the case. Now I will take you to see the chief priest."

"It seems that things are not peaceful recently." Mingxue stretched out her hand with a smile.

Want to take the initiative?

Masatomo Kinoshita looked at the hand extended to him, was silent for a while, and then reached out to shake it. However, Mingxue suddenly withdrew her hand just when he was halfway there.

"Then please lead the way, Captain Kinoshita~" Mingxue smiled sweetly.

Kinoshita Masatomo coughed a few times, made a gesture to allow passage, and then took the lead to lead the way, without seeming offended at all.

Mingxue, who was left behind, frowned slightly.

"How is it?" Heitong Huayang walked over and asked.

"We can trust him for now. Let's follow him." Ming Xue replied and followed him.

The remaining three girls looked at each other and followed suit.

Her personality does not match the report. Before the Private Xincheng Middle School case, Meixue Feigong was introverted and cowardly, not like this now.

It seems that it is just as the captain said. Some unexpected things happened in that supernatural case, and even the Feigong Mingxue in front of him may not be Feigong Mingxue.

Masayoshi Kinoshita, who was leading the way, took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and continued writing based on the information collected by the authorities.

[Female, height 160cm, weight 45kg, measurements B:76.5 W:58 H:85]

[Before the Private Xincheng Middle School case, he was introverted and timid, but his grades were excellent; after the Private Xincheng Middle School case, his personality suddenly changed, he became calm, dark, emotional, and extremely concerned about contact between men and women.]

[If you ignore her previous personality, there is no doubt that, apart from her flat chest, she is a noble lady with the temperament of a Yamato Nadeshiko. ]

[Now suspected to be a demon thorn^蝟4% discount:≠Purchasing agent:㈨⒋朳爾思〃三san〇∷⑤Monster, or related to demons]

Looking at what he had written in his notebook the day before, Masatomo Kinoshita silently crossed out [Now suspected to be a monster] and left only [May be related to monsters].

"Can we enter the shrine unharmed?" Kinoshita Masatomo turned around and looked at Mingxue behind him.

And Mingxue was also looking at him at this moment.

Chapter 48: Agree to cooperate x Change into witch costume

Akisui Shrine, main shrine.

Led by Kinoshita Masatomo, Mingxue and others came to the main hall and met Keiko, who was wearing a Chihaya coat, a white robe and pine-leaf-colored hakama.

Pine-leaf colored hakama? A retired shrine maiden?

Mingxue, who loves reading, can immediately see the meaning behind Huizi's clothes.

Because the profession of shrine maiden requires young women to hold the position, they will retire after the age of 30. However, after retirement, they may not necessarily leave the shrine. However, their uniforms will change, and they will wear pine leaf-colored or indigo-colored hakama to distinguish themselves, and they can serve as substitutes for the main shrine maidens when necessary.

But this situation usually occurs when there are relatively few shrine maidens. In other words, the largest shrine in Chiba City right now... is actually short of shrine maidens?

"Come in with us, Kinoshita. My husband wants to talk to you." Keiko looked at Kinoshita Masayoshi who was about to leave in the distance, and called out to him with a smile.

"Yeah." Kinoshita Masayoshi said and coughed.

In fact, he was a little reluctant to go in, because the moment he looked into Ming Xue's eyes just now made him feel like he was looking into the eyes of some ancient existence, but that feeling quickly disappeared, which made him uncertain. He needed to find a quiet place and take some time to think and analyze.

"So cute." Huizi clapped her hands together, then looked at the four children with joy. Especially when she saw Mingxue, her love for her was no longer concealed.

Mingxue subconsciously shrank her body, not daring to look him in the eye.

She looked at me strangely.

He complained in his heart.

"And you... are the best behaved." Keiko walked down the stairs with a smile, stood between the four children and said, "Come on, let's go in and meet the boss here, the chief priest~"

She spoke to the four people in a teasing tone.

Yun Zhi asked curiously, "Granny, what is a Priest Master?"

The smile on Huizi's face froze.

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Ye Yue also stood up and asked at this time, with a silly and cute look on her face.

On the other side, Yun Zhi's mouth corners curled up slightly.

Keiko's smile could hardly be maintained.

"Sister Huizi, are there any rules before we go in?" Mingxue interrupted at this time.

Huizi burst into tears of joy when she heard this, and rubbed Mingxue's soft cheeks frantically with tears, "You are the best, I was not wrong."

This shrine is beyond saving! ８

Ming Xue commented in her heart.

……⑺

Inside the shrine.

As soon as Ming Xue and the others entered the main hall, they saw an old man wearing a purple hakama robe sitting on the main seat. His hair was pale and wrinkled, and he looked very old. He exuded a herbal scent. On the guest seat next to the old man sat Kuroto Keima and Makise Kazusa, who had already arrived.

"Are you here to be assistant priestesses of the shrine?" the old man asked with narrowed eyes. "I am Watanabe Toshizo, the head of the shrine."

Ming Xue and the other three did not reply, because they were just here to take a look, and could not be considered to have fully joined.

Seeing that Mingxue and the other three did not respond, Keiko took the children to sit down, and finally sat next to the old man, or the father, Watanabe Toshizo.

"Our shrine welcomes 16-year-old girls to be assistant shrine maidens at any time. The salary is the same as that of the regular shrine maidens. The working hours are all weekends. If there is an emergency, you can ask for leave." Watanabe Changwu, who was sitting on the left, spoke. ⑵

Makise Kazusa looked at Kurogiri Keima.

Kurogane Hanayo stared at Watanabe Shogo intently.

Ye Yue lowered her head and played with her fingers.

Yun Zhi kept silent and looked at Ming Xue nervously.

Mingxue slowly raised her hand in this silent atmosphere.

At this moment, everyone looked at him.

Mingxue pursed her lips and asked, "Excuse me... can those under the age of 16 sign up?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. The Watanabe couple even broke out in cold sweats.

Watanabe Toshizo, who was sitting in the main seat, turned his head to look at his daughter and son-in-law with an expression that said, "How dare you lie to a 15-year-old girl?"

"Director, Meixue Himiya is under 16 this year, but she will be 16 in April this year. She can work part-time at the shrine in April."

The person who spoke was Masatomo Kinoshita, who came to the rescue of the captain.

Watanabe Toshizo was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Himiya Mingxue, "So do you want to join? I can handle the formalities for you in advance."

"Let's be frank. I know a little bit about why you invited me, but I want to know..." Ming Xue did not finish her words, but just silently put her hand on her ear, or to be more precise, the hearing aid on her ear.

The old man, Toshizo Watanabe, smiled and whispered a word, "It's not impossible to get rid of them, but I have some questions to ask you."

Although Ming Xue hated the Riddler, he understood the other party's hint, and the current environment was indeed not conducive to conversation, so he did not intend to pursue the matter.

"The conditions are indeed generous, but we have the requirement to independently judge whether to join the mission." Ming Xue said on behalf of everyone: "First, we are not yet adults, and second, I don't think your strength is so weak that you can't control the situation."

"That's natural." Watanabe Shogo nodded slightly.

Mingxue turned and looked at the others.

Makise Kazusa raised her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to join the Investigation Bureau as a miko. I want to be a non-staff member of the Investigation Bureau like Keima."
