Chapter 40:

Kanako had already stopped Sanae who seemed excited. Even though Suwako is smaller than Xiao Zi, she is very mature in both conversation and work, and is even more reliable than Kanako as an adult.

"Of course no problem. I promised Mrs. Dongfenggu a long time ago."

Suwako shook his head: "It's different. We are us, she is her, as long as you promise me that's enough."

"Okay, I promise you."

No matter what the reason is, in this matter, Roman has no reason to back down and shirk. In the past few months of getting along, Sanae has already become a family-like presence of Roman, and taking care of Sanae in his younger years is the responsibility of family and friends even if he has promised.

"A troublesome thing? Maybe you can tell me."

Suwako shook her head again. Her words have always been very few, but because of her reticence, she will give people a sense of "make up your mind and never change".

"You don't need to worry. Please remember your words, and..."

Suwako suddenly crawled over, leaned on Roman's body, and then stood up along Roman's body. Although she didn't know what she was going to do, Roman was very obedient and waited.

"Enough Suwako, just leave it to me next." Kanako's voice suddenly sounded, not knowing when she had come to her side, reached out and grabbed Suwako's collar, pulling her back on the original seat.

After the two looked at each other, Suwako finally nodded and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Roman, come with me."

After saying this, Kanako opened the sliding door and walked out regardless of Roman's reaction.

Naturally, Roman might continue to stay here, nodding to Sanae, who had a peaceful face, and Suwako, who looked indifferent, and then walked out.

Kanako didn't wait for him in the courtyard. After seeing Roman go out, she went outside. Go through the door, go around the shrine dedicated to the god, and finally come to the side of the worship hall, and then sit on a low stone.

The dwarf rock was not big, but it was more than enough for two people to sit down, so Roman sat down on the other side.

There are really fewer pilgrims today than in previous days. There are still tourists coming in at this time on weekdays, but now there is no outsider in sight. In the middle of the mountain, only the sound of the wind could be heard, and before nightfall, even the chirping of insects could not be heard. When the dilapidated shrine loses its last popularity, it gives a sense of ruin and decay.

"Sorry, I'm asking you for such a thing all of a sudden."

"No, in fact, even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't leave Sanae alone." Roman wasn't used to being apologized, especially when the other party was a good friend with him. There is probably a kind of preparation in advance that "if you do something wrong, you will forgive her", but after saying this apology, I can't adapt to it.

"It's different. It's different to say something and not say it. It's Suwako who is too anxious. In fact, time can wait a little longer, but..." Kanako showed a wry smile on her face, and she finally shook it. Shaking his head, "I don't have the right to talk about her. After all, it's her own business, and she can't understand it until this time."

Although Kanako was unclear, Roman already understood that the person who had "something at home" should be Suwako, and Kanako, as Suwako's friend, followed her away.

"I understand, Suwako likes Sanae very much, right? That's why I feel uneasy before leaving. I understand this psychology very well. If one day I have to leave because of something important, I will find someone I trust at that time. To take care of those who can't let go."

"No, you don't understand."

Kanako's denial made Roman full of doubts, but she just smiled bitterly, but was unwilling to continue.

"Did you let me out for something else?"

"That's right... I declare in advance that I don't distrust you. On the contrary, both me and Suwako like you very much, but when it comes to Sanae, Suwako becomes worried, so please forgive me. her."

"I will, and if I can, I'd still like to be able to understand what's going on."

According to Kanako, Suwako seems to be very concerned about Sanae, and even her friend Kanako can't compare. What is the reason? Could it be that there are other relationships between Sanae and Suwako that Roman does not know about?

"Roman, the gods enshrined in Moriya Shrine are very ancient gods."

For some unknown reason, Kanako suddenly talked about Moriya Shrine. Regarding the origin and history of Moriya Shrine, Roman had actually learned from Mrs. Dongfengya before, but he did not intend to interrupt Kanako.

"Although the origin of Moriya Shrine began in the Warring States period, Suwa Myojin is not a powerful god, but as a local god, Suwa Myojin is quite famous in Yamato."

Suwa Myojin? If it wasn't for Kanako, Roman would have really forgotten the gods enshrined in Moriya Shrine. All he remembered was "Moriya Shrine enshrined the mountain god", and he didn't particularly remember the others. Speaking of which, the term Suwa Myojin is very similar to Suwako's name.

"Maybe you don't believe that there are actually supernatural forces in this world - this is what modern people say. According to our habit, we should say that beliefs and gods once existed. Hey, aren't you surprised?"

Kanako was very serious about talking about the gods. She thought Roman would be surprised or shouted "this is impossible", but she accepted it with a calm expression, which made Kanako very uncomfortable.

"Even if you say that, and you haven't seen the gods with your own eyes, no matter what you say, I can only listen to it as an anecdote."

How could Roman not believe in the existence of gods? Weird experts do exist, heavy crab gods exist, and gap monsters exist, so it is very reasonable that the gods that have been praised since ancient times existed. This is the reason why Roman was able to accept Kanako's words. As for the emotion that surprised him, forgive him for being powerless.

"Speaking of which, you have already come into contact with the Heavy Crab God, and it is normal to be able to accept the existence of the god. Then everything is easy to say, I hope you will not be too surprised."

Kanako suddenly turned around and cupped Roman's cheeks with both hands. Before he could react, Kanako's face was already close to him and kissed his lips.

Feeling the softness from his lips, Roman's eyes widened in an instant. He couldn't believe that Kanako would suddenly make such a move. What made him even more unbelievable was that Kanako's tongue stuck out awkwardly, and when Roman was caught off guard, he pried open his lips and put it into Roman's mouth.

"Woooooo (what are you doing?)..."

Roman subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Kanako seemed to know her reaction in advance, and stretched out her hands to hug his body tightly, making him unable to move at all. Like being trapped by a boa constrictor, the body was tightly restrained, and even breathing became difficult. Roman had to give up the struggle, hoping that Kanako could relax her hands.

Just when Roman felt that he was about to suffocate, a cold current flowed out of Kanako's tongue, followed Roman's mouth into his esophagus, and finally spread to his whole body. The tightened body and breathless lungs were relieved in an instant, and there was even a cool and refreshing feeling.

When the cold flow in Kanako's lips stopped, they realized that the kiss had been going on for a long time, and they didn't know when their tongues began to entangle subconsciously. When the two of them reacted, they all parted back in unison, and their lips finally parted with a "Zi" sound.

The silver thread connecting the lips of the two of them looked bright and shiny under the sun, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to surround the two of them. Both Kanako and Roman noticed this, their fiery eyes touched slightly, and they avoided it like an electric shock.

Embarrassment and ambiguity have been entangled in the two, Roman and Kanako felt overwhelmed, neither spoke, nor did they plan to leave. Only occasionally and cautiously spy on the other party's reaction, but can only see the faint flush left on the other party's face and the pupils that cannot be gathered.

"Things, make a statement in advance, don't misunderstand, things are not what you imagined."

Kanako's tone began to stutter, which was completely different from the cheerful big sister she usually showed. It's true, no matter how carefree her personality is, Kanako is still a young woman in the end, and the reservedness and shyness that women should have also exist, but it will make people surprised by this contrast to some extent.

Could it be that Kanako has a pure and shy girlish heart that is different from the bright and bright on the surface?

"Don't worry, I won't misunderstand."

"What do you mean by this cold tone? Is it so insignificant to you to take away the girl's (...) first kiss?"

Kanako got angry all of a sudden. Well, let's not talk about the question of whether it is a girl or not, and the initiative of the kiss is also put aside. Just taking away the first kiss is enough to sentence the unresponsive Roman to death, right?

"No... how should I say it? I'm still very happy, but I don't know how to react for a while. After all, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Whether it was kissing or being kissed forcibly, it was the first time for Roman, and in such a sudden situation, Roman did not know what expression to show. He also thought about how his first kiss or the first time should happen. It may be romantic, or it may be plain. Anyway, the other party is the person he likes. It is worth mentioning that Roman's psychological candidate is Yuchuan.

As a result, the first kiss was taken away in an almost "attack" way, and Roman not only felt the power from mature women, but also felt somewhat speechless.

"So you're kissing for the first time?" Kanako suddenly regained her spirits.

Roman nodded, this is not something that is not worth talking about. However, in this country, when you are about to come of age (?), you are still a virgin, and you have not even handed over your first kiss, which is probably a very shameful thing. On the other hand, Roman didn't feel that way. Of course, the bigger reason was his awareness of his age.

"Fortunately, this will not be a loss."

"Hey, is the place you care about here?"

"What's so strange? Isn't it a big loss to be taken away for the first kiss for no reason? If the other party is also the first kiss, won't they earn it back?"

——I always feel how stupid I was to think of you as a pure girl just now.

PS: I didn't expect it! You must not have thought of it! When I wrote this, even the author himself was surprised.

Chapter 83 Chapter 48 Do it again?

"What was it that flowed from you just now?"

"Ah? You noticed it." A faint flush appeared on Kanako's pretty face again, probably remembering the feeling just now. However, she quickly sorted out her expression, and showed a pretended serious expression, "That's - divine power."

"..."

That's an amazing force. At the beginning, because I couldn't separate my attention to pay attention, only now did Roman discover the speciality of that power - it penetrated into Roman's body, spread like water frantically, and finally stopped in every part of Roman's body . Although Roman has not yet felt the changes brought about by this power, he can foresee that at some point in the future, his body will become extremely powerful, and every part of his body will have the characteristics of this power. .

"Divine power!?"

"Surprised, right? Hehe." Kanako's face showed a triumphant expression, and the surprise on Roman's face was obviously very useful to her, "Shouya Shrine is not an ordinary shrine, it has been passed down from generation to generation as the Dongfengya family. The surname of 'Dongfenggu' has become a surname of 'with God'. Every generation of heirs who live in Moriya shrine will be blessed by the gods, even if Sanae's mother is a mediocre person, He has the ability to save danger, not to mention a child as good as Sanae."

"God... what happened to Sanae?"

The Dongfeng Valley of the past dynasties is no longer something that Roman can interfere with. What he cares more about is the current Sanae. It is a good thing to be blessed by the gods, but no one can predict whether this blessing will change Sanae and whether it will have a bad influence on her.

"Don't worry, it's just to make Sanae's body healthier, and the brain to work better, probably to this extent."

It's not a scam. Although Sanae is different from ordinary shrine maidens, she is the only **** who has inherited Suwako's power, and is a present **** with divine power. But before that, there is a premise that Sanae must gain the faith of mortals. If he can't get faith, Sanae is at best an ordinary person blessed by gods; on the contrary, if he can get enough faith, Sanae will become a **** who can mobilize divine power in one fell swoop.

"Is that so... Wait, you said you can use power just now, didn't you say that?"

"a ha ha ha……"

"Are you a witch too?"

"..." Kanako breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, even in ancient times, it was rare for a **** to reveal such a thing. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is because it is unpredictable by mortals. As for modern times, gods have long been classified into myths and legends, and things like miracles only occur in conservative countryside.

"That's about it."

"But why do you do this? Since it is divine power, this power is reserved for yourself, or for Sanae and Suwako, why should you give it to me?"

"Actually it's nothing." Kanako's face showed an embarrassed look, "Do you remember what you promised Suwako just now?"

"Suwako...Are you talking about your promise to take care of Sanae in the future?"

"That's right. Although we all trust you, you are definitely the best candidate, but there are still things that should be worried about. Compared with a person's commitment, Suwako believes in the power of a contract."

"contract?"

Kanako's eyes began to wander, and she no longer had the courage to look at Roman's face.

"The promise made under the witness of the gods cannot be changed. As long as the two parties reach a consensus, this promise will make the blessing of the gods stronger. The promised things must be done, and the remuneration that needs to be given must be handed over. Anyone who violates the agreement will be punished by the gods. Do you understand?"

Of course Roman understood, after all, it was a very clear explanation.

Although Roman has already agreed to Suwako's request, Suwako seems to feel that simple commitment is not strong, so in order to maintain this agreement, she plans to use the amount of Moriya Shrine as a bond, and let the gods enshrined in Moriya Shrine act as A third party oversees the promise—that is, the contract. Compared with empty words, Suwako believes in the power of gods more, but being suspected for no reason, even Roman would feel angry, no wonder Kanako told Roman more than once, "She and Suwako are both. I really like Roman", maybe she thought it would offend Roman.

Kanako carefully observed Roman's face, and found that he was only showing a slightly thoughtful expression, but did not see other emotions, and said: "Please don't blame Suwako, because Suwako is really worried about Sanae. People, you can treat it as an old problem that the elderly love to worry about."

"Old man?" Roman was more curious about Kanako's description than blaming Suwako.

"Cough, just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't tell Suwako, if you don't, I'll run out of wine this month."

So what about your majesty as an adult?

As the only adult at Moriya Shrine, Kanako's status can be regarded as the lowest. Being bullied by Suwako and being preached by Sanae, although these are mostly jokes, they are enough to explain Kanako's low-level status.

Speaking of which, the reason why Suwako was lying on Roman's body just now was actually preparing to kiss him like Kanako? How would it feel if the opponent was Suwako?

"I've said it before, don't get me wrong, now I can only use this method to transmit divine power."

Kanako looked at Roman with a face of shame and said. It turned out that Roman, who was still reminiscing about the smell of the first kiss just now, used his fingers to caress the lips that had the smell of Kanako, and his eyes were fixed on Kanako's face.

No wonder Kanako misunderstood... No, Kanako didn't misunderstand at all.

Speaking of contract, is it so simple? From the beginning to the end, from the establishment of the contract to the completion, it seems that there are only two things: "Roman and Suwako reach a consensus" and "Kanako transmits divine power". If there are other special things, these are probably all in Moriya. occurs in the shrine. That said, there are some details that Roman doesn't know.

You must know that the modern age is an era when the gods are declining. It is almost impossible for the gods to witness the establishment of the contract. It is not like the ancient times to communicate with the priestess.

Forget it, this kind of thing is fine, anyway, Roman doesn't really want to know about it. I never thought of going back on my promise to take care of Sanae, and Suwako's careful thought would not make Roman angry. After all, no one would be angry with a child... Especially Suwako reminded Roman that he still has a daughter. .

So Roman still made a profit? Earned the first kiss of an innocent onlooker alcoholic? It's just that because I was too surprised, I didn't fully appreciate the feeling of the first kiss.

"Kanako."

"What, what?"

Roman's eyes were too enthusiastic, making Kanako feel the urge to run away.

"Shall we do it again?"

"Huh huh huh?"

"Roman, Lord Kanako, what are you doing?!"

"Wow!"

Kanako was startled by the sudden voice from Sanae, and she fell directly from the low rock to the ground.

"Kanako-sama, why did you suddenly sit on the ground?"

Seeing Kanako sitting on the ground, Sanae quickly ran over to help her up.

It's strange to say, I don't know why Sanae keeps calling Kanako and Suwako "adults". People who use this honorary title are generally people of noble status, even if it is a difference in generation. The two of them also have unusual identities? Roman had personally experienced Kanako's use of the divine power of Moriya Shrine, and Suwako seemed to have this plan at the time, so the two of them should be some special witches.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to accompany Suwako!"

Under the eyes of Roman and Sanae, Kanako fled back in embarrassment.

"What is Kanako-sama doing?"

"Who knows? Maybe because of shyness?" "Shy?"

Roman smiled, not ready to explain.
