Lunch was rice balls made by Sakura. After eating, Otto rested on her lap and basked in the sun leisurely.
But, the sound of a clang sent by a cane, came to the ears of the two.
Sakura frowned, and she said apologetically, "Otto, I'll deal with this first, wait for me."
Otto sat up, he knew what would happen next, but he didn't speak about it but smiled.
"Come back quickly, I will wait for you I promise."
Hearing Otto's words, Sakura smiled happily, stood up, and left the backyard.
Watching her leave, Otto lay on the ground bored, looking at the clouds in the sky, it was good weather today.
Sakura picked up her Katana, from the main hall of the shrine, and when she came to the front of the shrine, she found two people standing there.
One is the hunter, and the other is the village chief of Yae Village. The village chief tapped on the floor, and Sakura couldn't help but frown at the noise
"What's the matter?" Sakura said coldly, she felt the aggressive aura of the village chief.
The village chief looked at the neatly dressed Miko with cloudy and half-white eyes, and there was a touch of red on her delicate face, which added a touch of humanity to her elegant face.
"Boom." The cane hit the floor hard, and the hunter, who was standing next to the village chief, shook.
"Miko." The village chief said, and Sakura felt disgusted by his mouth full of rotten teeth, "You hid a man?"
They found him!?
Sakura placed her left hand on the hilt subconsciously, her face still had an indifferent expression, but she calmed herself down.
"Who made this claim?" Yae Sakura said with an unchanged expression.
"Haha."The Village Chief smiled, "Miko, shouldn't you deny it first?"
Shit. Sakura's heart skipped a beat, and the village chief continued to tap on with his cane. The thumping sound kept ringing in her ears, making Sakura. almost unable to resist pulling out her blade.
"Let that man come out!" the village chief shouted angrily. He would not allow anyone to break the rules of the village, not even the Miko.
"Leave." Yae Sakura said coldly.
"Miko! Did you hear me? Let that man come out!" The village chief tapped the floor with his cane again and again, angry at Sakura's provocation of his authority.
"Leave."
Yae Sakura said lightly, the blade on her waist, Sakura Blossom, was unsheathed, and the cherry-colored blade of the same color as her hair shone coldly in the sun.
"Miko!" Seeing Sakura drawing her sword, the village chief's body trembled with anger, his face full of wrinkles contorted, and the hunter who informed him was too frightened to move.
On one side is the long-established village chief, and on the other side is the Miko who draws her blade.
The one who retreated first was the village chief. He glanced at the blade in Sakura's hand and said coldly, "Miko, you're on your own now."
After speaking, he turned to leave.
He won't just let us go. Sakura knew what the village chief was going to do. What he was best at was to press people with power, and he was gonna call for more people.
Do I want Otto to escape?
After the two people who came left, Sakura still stood there, with her back to the sun, her face hidden in the darkness.
She stood there for a long time and did not go back to tell Otto to leave. She had been standing in front of the shrine with her blade still in hand.
What do I do? Sakura asked herself.
I want Otto to stay with me, he's important to me.
His figure with dazzling blond hair like the sun has entered her heart.
No one can take him away. Sakura told herself.
She was waiting for the village chief to bring the villagers up. She had no plans of leaving with Otto. This is the Yae Shrine, and she is the Miko
and Otto is the father of the next Miko.
Otto used gravity to distort the light and hide in the dark. He watched this scene with interest, and there would be more beautiful things to come.
Sakura didn't wait long before the village chief brought all the villagers of Yae Village to the shrine. Before he came to the shrine, the chief wanted to strengthen his prestige again in front of everyone.
Unlike the noisy queue in the morning, this time the villagers came to the shrine aggressively, because the village chief wanted to punish those who disobeyed the village rules, and this time the one who disobeyed the village chief's rule was the Miko.
"Miko, hand over that man!" the village chief shouted, and the crowd behind him clamored for Sakura to hand over that wild man.
Their foul language was endless, and Otto was still hiding, and hadn't moved, it wasn't the time for him to show up.
"If you want a man, we will pick one out when we need to give birth to the next Miko." The village chief swept away by his aged appearance. What he liked most was this feeling. He was the controller of the village, especially Sakura after her father died.
"Leave." Sakura clenched her blade, she knew that if she didn't deal with this matter today, she and Otto would not have a peaceful life.
"Hand over that man, Miko!!!" The crowd shouted following the village chief's words. They were not afraid because Sakura was holding a knife. Some people actually felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts and their sense of awe for the Miko was reduced.
"Hand over that man, and then we'll let you kill him, you will still be our witch."
The village chief said, he was waiting for Sakura to bow her head to him, and Sakura had an unpleasant feeling in her chest. She hated the people here, and she hated all everyone in the village.
Even in the past, they were like this and forced her to kill Rin as a priestess.
"Miko!!!" The village chief's voice was deafening, it was hard to imagine that he could scream so loudly at his age, with saliva flying from his mouth.
I need to kill him. Sakura clenched the blade in her hand. Except for her sister, she had never killed anyone else with this blade, but if she didn't kill the village chief today, it would be difficult for Otto to stay by her side.
Maybe I can leave with him.
Kill the village chief and leave here with Otto, I can go to his hometown and live there.
Sakura made a decision in her mind, she was no longer the girl who couldn't save her sister in the past.
The crowd's voice became louder and louder, and the killing intent in Sakura's heart became stronger and stronger, but at this moment, a voice reached everyone's ears.
"Who said they're gonna punish my Miko?"
With a frivolous voice, Otto was dressed in Sakura's father's old clothes, with the Inari mask on his face, and he walked towards the crowd with bare feet.
Sakura saw the man walking towards them, her eyes widened and her body trembled.
Otta's clothes were reflected in her eyes, and dark emotions swelled in her heart.
The father, who was wearing the mask of the god Inari and the clothes of that. god, ordered her to kill her sister.
Father is dead, dead, dead.
He made me kill Rin. He made me kill Rin. He made me kill Rin.
"It's him, he's the outsider." Said the hunter who peeked at Sakura and Otto hugging each other. The village chief was about to speak, but at this moment, except for Sakura, who lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, The expressions on the faces of the others froze.
Otto was walking towards them, but there seemed to be invisible steps in the air in front of him. He walked slowly into the air and then lay in the air in a very leisurely posture.
Under the mask of God Inari, emerald eyes looked at the people below, and Otto said quietly.
"Who said they're gonna punish my Miko?"
He repeated it again, the village chief resisted the fear in his heart, and someone could actually float in the air, he asked tremblingly, "You, who are you!?"
Otto's eyes looked at the village chief without any emotion, he said.
"You worship me and pray for me, I you're god appeared and you don't know me."
Wearing the Inari mask, Otto looked at the villagers like a god and slowly extended a finger to the ground.
With the exception of Sakura, the gravity on everyone present multiplied, and it crushed their bodies, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
Divine power. The idea came to each of them, fear was born in their hearts, and Otto retracted his fingers.
An emotionless voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Kneel down and bow."
Everyone bowed their heads as if they were paying homage to a god. [Influence 33%-34%]
