This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

I can't even remember my mother's real name...

Beichuanji didn't know how to evaluate Sansekiyuan Emperor.

But if you think about it, it's not her fault.

She had said before that her mother passed away due to frailty when she was very young. After that, her father was hit hard and his health deteriorated day by day, and he soon followed her mother. , leaving her alone with the well-preserved humanoid generation.

Fortunately, although Emperor Sansekiyuan was a Buddhist, he was not so careless about throwing away the things left by his mother. She always carried this human form with her——

"Then I was electrocuted to death." The emperor of Sanseyuan shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face: "They said it was to avoid evil and seek good fortune, but it turned out to be of no use at all."

At this time, she and Kitagawaji were staying in the living room, waiting for Makoto Hayakawa to come over. Nishikujo, a pitiful and ordinary puppet, was huddled in Kitagawaji's collar, and Makie, the god, got into the Kagura bell to rest.

The only ones in this space now are her and Kitagawa Temple.

After hearing these words, Beichuan Temple opened his eyes and asked without any fluctuations in his tone: "Instead of worrying about this, why not help me think about your mother's name."

"Can not remember."

Emperor Sanseyuan shook his head, and she continued: "If it was my aunt, she should still remember——"

Beichuan Temple became interested: "Your aunt's contact information?"

"I forgot." Emperor Sanseyuan touched his head and replied straightforwardly.

Her answer made Kitagawaji show no surprise.

Also, Emperor Sanseiyuan can't even remember his mother's real name, so it's impossible to expect her to remember her aunt's contact information.

But fortunately, Beichuan Temple still has a back-up plan.

He can use the power of Makoto Hayakawa to find the aunt of Emperor Sanshikiin.

After all, the house was demolished and built by Hayakawa Makoto after he bought it, so it was natural that he could find the aunt of Emperor Sansekiin through various channels.

But the most important thing now is to find the humanoid.

He and Emperor Sansekiyin waited for about three minutes, and Makoto Hayakawa finally came back.

"I'm sorry, Master Beichuan, I've been waiting for a long time. I was caught up in some trivial matters just now."

Hayakawa Makoto was embarrassed to say hello to Kitagawa Temple.

"It's okay." Beichuanji shook his head.

In fact, he didn't wait too long, and Hayakawa Makoto didn't neglect him.

Beichuanji took a sip of tea and said, "Then let's talk about business first."

"Okay." Makoto Hayakawa perked up and nodded repeatedly.

Kitagawaji briefly told Makoto Hayakawa about the Emperor Sansekiin, and expressed the hope that Makoto Hayakawa would allow excavation on the spot.

"Ningyo Dai...? Sansekiin Emperor...?" After hearing what Beichuan Temple said, Hayakawa Makoto couldn't help being surprised: "As Master Beichuan said, this land was indeed demolished after it was taken over by me. I bought a house, and it is indeed the surname of Sanseyuan..."

If there were still some doubts about Kitagawaji's ability before, what the other party showed now completely convinced Hayakawa Makoto.

He didn't think Beichuanji, a guy from Tokyo, could investigate so many things.

It must be because he has some special ability to do this or that.

"I have also communicated with Miss Sansekiyuan and asked her to continue to stay at the Hayakawa family and accept your offerings. She will also contribute to the Hayakawa family in the future."

Saying that, Kitagawa Temple turned back to look at the Sansekiin Emperor floating beside him.

"...I know, I know." The emperor of Sanseyuan responded with a sigh.

Under the surprised gaze of Makoto Hayakawa, she slowly appeared from the air.

"I am the Emperor of the Three Colors Academy." She still looked like she didn't mind the trouble, even the introduction was spared.

A look of shock flashed across Makoto Hayakawa's face.

But as the master of the Hayakawa family, he still calmed down and did not make any fool of himself. Instead, he smiled very politely and said: "Hello, Miss Sansekiyin."

After saying these words, Hayakawa Makoto calmly moved his eyes away from Emperor Sansekiyuan and turned to Kitagawaji.

The person who can make the emperor of Sansein appear is Beichuanji, and he will not forget this.

Seeing Emperor Sansein at this moment made him even more surprised by Beichuan Temple's abilities.

He finally understood why Hirasaka Ichiro always mentioned the name of Master Kitagawa outside.

Because the other party does have abilities that ordinary people cannot possess.

After a while, Makoto Hayakawa suppressed the surprise in his heart and said: "If it is a good thing that has the best of both worlds, of course the Hayakawa family is also willing to leave a shrine for Miss Sanshikiin and accept the enshrinement."

Kitagawa Temple has also said before that after accepting the offering, the Sansekiin Emperor is willing to deal with the Hayakawa family's troubles - as long as the offering is the price, he will not lose no matter what.

Looking at Makoto Hayakawa like this, Emperor Sanshiki instinctively took two steps back, then he floated to Kitagawaji's ear and said in a very low voice: "Why do I feel that something is wrong with the way this uncle looks at me? Kitagawa, If I can’t survive here, can I seek refuge with you in the future?”

"..." Beichuan Temple.

This was the first time Beichuanji hesitated on whether to adopt a good spirit.

After all, the emperor of Sanseyuan is extremely salty. Whether he will turn other people into salty eggs is also a question.

He hesitated for a moment before nodding.

After all, he was the one who sent Emperor Sanseki into the Hayakawa family. If he was not happy in the Hayakawa family, it would be natural for Kitagawaji to take responsibility.

Besides, it's just another good spirit. Essentially, Beichuan Temple is not too resistant.

The matter was settled.

The Sansekiin Emperor officially moved into the Hayakawa family as an enshrined good spirit. If he felt uncomfortable living in the Hayakawa family, he would go directly to Kitagawa Temple.

As for the other side, the floor is opened to dig out the humanoid generation.

It's actually not that complicated.

Beichuan Temple can do it for you.

"Approximately where?" Beichuanji lifted up the tatami and floor, exposing the land underneath, with half of Beichuanji's body underneath.

"Ah...it's the land you stepped on Beichuan." Emperor Sansekiyuan said simply without even thinking.

Beichuanji didn't rush to dig after hearing this. He just glanced at Sansekiyuan Emperor and said in a calm voice: "I don't want to dig in the wrong place."

He has lost all due trust in this salty egg.

"No matter how Buddhist I am, there's no way I can't remember the place where I rest every time!" The emperor of Sanseyuan blushed.

"Who can say for sure?"

Beichuan Temple felt that only Emperor Sansekiyuan could do such a thing.

But when he saw the other party retracting his head angrily, he stopped paying attention to the Emperor of Sansekiyuan and started digging with a shovel.

About ten minutes later, Beichuan Temple stepped on the edge of the half-height pit and looked at Emperor Sansekiyuan: "Do you want to continue digging?"

"Go on. It's definitely around here."

The emperor of Sansekiyuan nodded vigorously, as if he was very confident in his memory.

Since the Emperor of the Three Colors Academy has said so——

Beichuan Temple didn't say much and continued to dig deeper in silence.

This time, after digging for about five minutes, Kitagawa Temple's shovel tip hit something solid.

oh?

Beichuan Temple took one more look at the Sansekiin Emperor.

Okay, no matter how salty this guy is, he has not forgotten the place where his humanoid is placed.

Beichuan Temple placed the big shovel beside the pit and took out a small shovel and a small brush.

While brushing away the dirt with a small brush, he assessed the size of the thing and swept it down carefully.

A few minutes later, Beichuan Temple dug out an ancient wooden box about fifteen centimeters high from the ground.

"It's right here." The emperor of Sanseyuan came down and looked at the simple wooden box carefully.

It contained the humanoid code left to her by her mother.

"Let's go up first and then talk." Beichuan Temple filled the pit with three, five and two, then turned over and crawled back into the room.

He casually covered the wooden board back, then laid the tatami again, and then looked at the wooden box in his hand.

All the soil on the outside of the wooden box had been swept away by him with a brush. Although there were still some light yellow soil stains on it, it didn't matter anymore.

Four different pictures are engraved on the four sides of the upright wooden box.

Beichuanji watched it for a while before he could barely sort out the order of the pictures.

What is engraved in the first picture is a small island.

This is an island in the sea with pleasant scenery. People on the island live peacefully and peacefully.

Then comes the second screen.

Something strange happened on the island, and evil things attacked people.

The third screen.

That's a huge tree.

It is bigger than any tree in Kitagawa Temple's memory.

Under this big tree, there are villagers who continue to worship it.

Then comes the fourth screen.

Humanoid generation.

Hundreds of humanoids were placed on the altar, and next to these humanoids stood a woman.

The woman's face cannot be seen clearly.

It seemed like some kind of solemn and solemn ceremony was being held in the village.

"Beichuan?" The voice of Emperor Sansein rang in Beichuanji's ears, and this sound also brought Beichuanji back from his thoughts.

"Are you okay? You've been looking at this wooden box just now. What's so good about this wooden box? The key is the humanoid figure inside." The emperor of Sansekiyuan stretched out comfortably and urged: "Hurry up and take out my human form."

Kitagawa Temple was not in a hurry. He just rubbed the surface of the wooden box. After a while, he said, "Sansekiyuan, do you have any specific impressions of the engravings on the wooden box?"

"Specific impression?" The emperor of Sansekiyuan showed a look of confusion on his face: "Isn't this just an ordinary box containing a doll? What other impressions can there be?"

It's really tiring to talk to this girl.

Kitagawa Temple put it another way: "What I mean is, was this wooden box ordered by someone else while you were still alive? Or was your humanoid placed in it from the beginning?"

"I've always had this wooden box. Because it was something my mother left for me, I haven't touched it. I just kept it in place." The Emperor of Sansekiyuan looked at the wooden box with a flash in his eyes. Feelings of longing.

Although she has no specific impression of her mother, she left a human form for herself.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a relic of my mother.

Beichuanji turned his palm over and raised the wooden box upright.

There is also a strange pattern on the front of the wooden box.

The branches are connected with the leaves and curve upward from both sides, and in the middle is the crown pattern of the tree that Kitagawa Temple saw.

"What kind of mark is this?" Emperor Sanseyuan came over and asked in a low voice.

Apparently she was still unimpressed.

Kitagawaji gradually got used to this guy's behavior. He played with the wooden box back and forth, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally confirmed: "This is Kajimon."

After the last trip to the village, Kitagawa Temple also made up for the local customs in various parts of Japan, so it is easy to understand at a glance that this peculiar coat of arms belongs to the Kaji pattern.

"Kajimon?" Emperor Sansekiyin blinked strangely, like a curious baby.

"Kajimon is the pattern of Kaji wood. The soap bars used for shrine rituals are made of Kaji wood and are mainly used for shrine rituals."

Kitagawa Temple stretched out his fingers and rubbed the place where the Kaji pattern leaves were: "This part of the leaf represents the container for the gods' royal food and tribute."

"Oh - in other words, this is a family crest? Is it similar to the family crest of the Warring States Dynasty daimyo?" Emperor Sansekiyuan suddenly realized.

"..." Beichuan Temple.

Beichuanji glanced at the Emperor of Sansekiyuan again and simply explained: "This is a sacred crest, which is often used in sacrifices. It is not a family crest."

Yes, the concept of divine patterns and family patterns are completely different.

The family crest is similar to the white chrysanthemum pattern used by the Asamiya family, which represents the "Asamiya" family.

The divine patterns are more representative of Shinto sacrificial activities.

"But the Kaji pattern has obviously changed."

He tasted it carefully.

Kajiki was replaced by that unknown tree.

In other words, that big tree is the ‘sacred tree’ believed by the island villagers.

Wherever the Kaji pattern is located, there must be shrine worship activities.

Even if there are no shrine worship activities, it can still represent a local belief.

Beichuan Temple couldn't help but let go of his thoughts——

On an overseas island, villagers worshiped the sacred tree of their faith. There were layers of humanoid figures placed on the altar, and a woman whose face could not be seen clearly...

What does all this mean?

Beichuan Temple's expression moved slightly. After a while, the base was removed and the humanoid figure belonging to the Sansekiin Emperor was taken out.

This humanoid is heavy in hand, equal to the weight of a baby.

It's obviously filled with cotton and hair, so why is it so heavy?

Just when Beichuan Temple was about to take a look, a system notification sounded in his ears.

Ding--

‘System prompt: You have discovered the Yihui human form. ’

Did it actually trigger a system prompt?

Beichuan Temple glanced away.

‘Yihui Ningyo: The Ningyo used in ancient sacrificial rituals to avoid evil and seek good fortune, and can be used as a host for spiritual bodies. ’

This doll is wearing a lavender kimono. It feels heavy and textured when held in the hand. It can also be seen from the sewn face that this doll is a female doll.

"Yihui Humanoid Generation..."

Kitagawaji pinched his chin.

He remembered that Kamiya’s future parents seemed to be going to an island in Okinawa, and the name of that island was——

"Ihui Island."

Beichuan Temple's eyes are deep.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Thanks to the Reincarnated Wood Spirit for the tip! Thank you so much!
