Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 163
The worshiping team moved forward slowly.

Snow was piled up on both sides of the yard, and a not-so-wide aisle was cleared in the middle. There were steps at the back, and the worship hall and the red money box placed in front of the hall were at the front.

The team was divided into two rows, but not everyone lined up strictly in this way, and there were always a few extra figures on the left or right.

Monk Naruse followed behind Morimi and Takikawa Tsuki, waited for a while, took a few steps forward, and continued to wait.

In front of them were Haixing and Hikari Takikawa.

"Has starfish made up its wish?" Takikawa Hikari asked suddenly.

"Ah... um." Came back to his senses, Hai Xing nodded.

"What is it?"

"It won't work if you say it..."

"Will not."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled and did not ask further, "My wish is that the next two exams will go well."

"Ah, I will also pray for Sister Yue... two exams?"

"Yeah. The entrance exam in mid-January, ah, it should be called the common exam now.

There is also an entrance exam to take at Northeastern University at the end of February. "

"Don't you just need the results of the common exam?"

"The department that Yue wants to apply for has to take the entrance exam." Takikawa Hikaru said, "I will accompany her to Sendai to take the exam then."

"That's it..." Hai Xing nodded without asking further questions.

Looking at the team in front, she turned her head again, looking for his figure.

And he was just one or two meters away behind her, whispering to Shangzi next to her.

"It's moving." Morimi standing in front of him said suddenly.

Hai Xing turned her head, took two steps forward, then turned her head and smiled shyly at her.

Senjian shook his head, didn't say anything, but kept his gaze fixed on her face.

"..."

Starfish felt a little guilty after being stared at, and quickly turned back.

The line continued on, and after another moment, it was finally their turn.

After throwing in the sesame oil money, she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and maybe made a wish.

Takikawa Hikari next to him directly expressed his wish.

"I hope that the preparation for the entrance exam in June goes well, commutes smoothly, plays smoothly, eats smoothly, defecates smoothly, and rests smoothly... In short, everything goes well!"

Takikawa Tsuki pulled her from behind, "What is Hikari talking about..."

Pop, pop!

She clapped her hands twice more, sending a sincere prayer to the invisible god.

"please--"

After paying homage in this way, she stepped aside and waited for her sister with a smile.

Haixing stood on the other side, his eyes swept across Morimi and Naruse, then at Shangzi, and finally returned to Morimi.

Like her, she just visited the shrine in an ordinary way, and it was over soon.

"Go and wait outside." Morimi said to her after finishing the visit.

"Um……"

Seeing her take Haixing away, Naruse heaved a sigh of relief for no reason.

Taking out the five-yuan coin that had already been prepared, Naruse glanced at Shangzi, and she looked at him too. They looked at each other and smiled, and threw the coin into the money box at the same time.

With two clangs, the two clasped their hands together and made their respective wishes.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Back outside, several people were waiting under the steps.

"Are you going back now?" Takikawa Hikaru asked.

Naruse said it didn't matter, "You can hang around here if you want."

"It's still a long time before the bus arrives." Takikawa Tsuki said.

"Then just take a stroll."

Hikaru Takikawa walked in front and led several people to the place where Hai Xing "disappeared" just now.

"Is this the Inari Shrine?"

"Ah."

Taking advantage of Shangzi being pulled to the front by her, Hai Xing slowed down and walked side by side with Naruse.

"What did you wish for?"

Naruse didn't look at her, and at the same time pulled away, "It's the opposite of you."

Starfish glared at him from behind.

"My wish is that I can completely give up." She said in a suppressed voice.

"..."

Naruse turned to look at her.

He didn't believe it.

After walking for a while, they came to the small Inari Shrine, and several people visited again.

Takikawa looked around, "Can't we go out here?"

"Well, we can only go back and go out through the building door." Naruse said.

"Ok."

So several people turned around and walked back.

Coming out of the building gate, the road on the left is a hiking trail, which is where Morimi went to find Haixing just now.

She shook her head, "There's nothing to see over there."

"OK, then let's go over there and ask for a lottery." Hikari Takikawa pointed to the vermilion lacquered hut beside the approach.

A few people went over, and there were only two witches inside, who were responsible for receiving the continuous stream of worshipers in the first few days of the first month.

Like most shrines, there are also some different kinds of omori for sale here.

Naruse took a look, and found that the best seller seemed to be Ansan Omori.

It seems that the most effective prayer here is safe delivery...

Of course he didn't need it, he picked three health guardians, and gave Shangzi one after paying the bill.

"Thank you." She accepted the guard and smiled at him.

Handing out another [-]-yen coin, Naruse picked up the stick and shook it a few times, then pinched the bamboo stick on the tip.

After receiving the slip from the witch, he opened it and glanced at it, the corner of his mouth twitching.

[evil]

"Hehehe..."

Mori Jian appeared next to him at some point, glanced at it, with an undisguised smile on his face, "You're also very 'good'."

He ignored her, folded up the tag, and tied it to the snow-covered shelf beside him.

As soon as it was tied, she also walked over, repeating what he did just now.

"What sign."

"you guess."

"fierce."

"Only you are so...good luck."

Returning to the side of several people, Takikawa Tsuki looked very happy.

"The month is lucky."

Under the influence of this rising emotion, she also bought a lot of things such as academic guards and talismans recommended by the witch.

After strolling around for a while, the visit was over. Several people left the shrine and waited at the platform for the bus to go back.

"After Hatsuchi, there is nothing to do in the first month." Takigawa Hikaru said, "Do you have any arrangements?"

Both Naruse and Shangko shook their heads.

"Study." Mori said.

Starfish: "Part-time job..."

"Yue and I are going to grandma's house in a few days. There is also a good hot spring over there. Do you want to come and play?" Hikaru Takikawa invited.

Naruse continued to shake his head, "Let me rest at home for a few days. It's winter vacation, and I feel like I've been tossing around."

Starfish glanced at him.

Shangzi expressed that she wanted to stay at home with her parents who were going back to the research institute to continue working in a few days.

"My mother can't stay at home for a few more days." Naruse added after listening.

"Okay." Takigawa Hikari didn't force it, "Where are Starfish and Yiye?"

"Study." Mori Jian repeated what he just said.

Starfish hesitated for a while, then shook his head and declined.

Takikawa Hikari looked at his sister, "Grandma's house is really not welcome."

"That's not the case."

"Where are you from?" Naruse asked.

"Morioka."

After a while, the bus finally arrived.Several people got into the car and sat back to the downtown area of ​​Jinqian.

It was already noon, and the bus back home would take more than half an hour. They decided to find a place here for lunch.

"It's really hard to find a store that's still open on the first two days of the first lunar month."

"Yeah...ah, there seems to be a ramen shop over there."

"It looks so broken... Forget it, let's go there."

Several people found a ramen shop near the station, where a middle-aged couple was busy.

After ordering a bowl of ramen, Morimi sat down next to the starfish, and watched Naruse who was sitting on the other side inexplicably approaching the shop owner, asked a few words, and showed a relieved and disappointed expression at the same time.

She quickly thought of something and looked at the starfish beside her.

She was just looking at him.

Eat and drink enough, the bus is almost here.

Getting in the car to go home, several people parted ways at the intersection, while Morimi followed Naruse and Shangko.

"Would you like to give you a hint?" Naruse said, "Let me say a few words first."

"I'm here to greet my uncles and aunts for the New Year." She gave him a sideways glance, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a red envelope."

Shangzi smiled.

When they arrived at the gates of Naruse's house and Konoka's house, Morimi looked at her, "Let me say hello to Nariko's parents first."

"it is good."

The two walked towards Shangzi's house, Morimi looked back at Naruse again.

"I'll go to your house later..."

He looked at her, she moved her lips, and the last half of the sentence fell silent.

[I have something to ask you. 】
