Anyway, she hasn't been promoted to an official shrine maiden yet.
"…I am a priestess of Inari Shrine. I have come to visit the chief priest of your shrine in my personal capacity. This letter is signed by the former priestess of your shrine, Yunhe, to introduce you to me."
After saying that, Yu Zhuanjin took out Yun He's letter from his arms and handed it to the two girls in front of him.
"Yunhe? Yun?"
The dark red-haired girl pondered for a moment, obviously wondering who this person was. She had no impression of him at all, but the prefix "Yun" meant a lot to the clergy of the shrine.
"Senior Yunhe?!"
On the contrary, the girl with light blue hair next to her immediately covered her lips and looked a little shocked.
"So who is that?"
The dark red-haired girl turned her head and asked.
"You idiot! I told you many times to take a look at the overview of the shrine's clergy when you have time, so that you won't be unfamiliar with the seniors you meet in the future. Senior Yunhe, the chief miko of the previous generation, and the junior sister of the chief priestess."
The light blue-haired girl finished her words without taking a breath, then took the letter of introduction with both hands. She noticed that the signature on the envelope had the unique seal of the Hikawa Shrine, which confirmed its authenticity.
As for opening and reading?
This letter was not something they were supposed to read.
Then, the girl with light blue hair spoke again, "My name is Su Yue, and the idiot next to me is Xi Zhao. We are the waiters responsible for guarding the mountain and entertaining guests today. I'm sorry that the chief priest left the shrine yesterday, but there will be a ceremony in the afternoon that needs to be presided over by the chief priest himself, so I think he will be back soon. If you don't mind, please follow us to the shrine hall and wait. We will prepare tea for you."
After saying that, Suyue quickly stepped aside to make way for the shrine, motioning for Yuzhong Jin to follow her into the shrine, and returned the letter to the latter.
After listening to Suyue's description of Yunhe, the dark red-haired girl, Xizhao, realized that the shrine maiden who was specially introduced to the shrine must also be of extraordinary status. She immediately said with some hesitation, "I, I'm very sorry! Please don't report us to the chief priest... No, at least please don't report Suyue."
After saying that, Xi Zhao bowed deeply.
"Why would I say bad things about you?"
Yuzhuanjin had no idea what was happening.
"Really? That's great! Phew! I thought I would be punished to guard the mountain gate for another half a month."
The girl Xizhao immediately stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess you guys are still punished...
"Idiot, idiot! If you say that, aren't you telling the other party that we are all 'problem girls'?"
Suyue now just wants to knock Xizhao's brains out.
"Oh yeah~ then what should I do?"
Xizhao hurriedly squatted over and asked in a low voice.
"How can guarding the gate be considered a punishment? We are now responsible for maintaining the order of the shrine. Do you see this broom in my hand? It will sweep away all the filth that disgraces the image of the shrine!"
Holding up the broom, Su Yue said seriously.
"...I see! It actually has such a meaning, but I never understood the good intentions of the master."
Upon hearing this, Xizhao suddenly realized and became even more excited. No wonder the master had asked them to guard the mountain gate and specifically told them not to cause trouble again.
From that solemn and serious expression, she thought the other party was angry because she and Su Yue practiced magic and almost burned down the shrine.
It turns out that guarding the mountain gate is such an important matter.
"..."
Seeing Xizhao's reaction, Suyue couldn't help but clench her hands that were holding the broom.
She is now misleading the witch in front of her, why are you so excited? Don't you have any idea of the actual situation?
Taking a deep breath, Suyue helped Yuzhongjin lead the horse and led him to the shrine. Although the huge Hikawa Shrine had more than a hundred priestesses and priests offering sacrifices, it still seemed very empty.
As a shrine in Ichinomiya, Musashi Province, it has the most powerful priest in Musashi Province in charge. However, in reality, it is more like a private school. The clergy who stay in it are mostly shrine maidens who are over fifty years old and whose spiritual powers have declined.
Secondly, there are apprentice shrine maidens and priests like Suyue and Xizhao who are still learning, and as for those clergy who still have the ability to exorcise monsters, they are often sent to various places to provide support and only come back occasionally.
In addition, some older priestesses would take their disciples outside for training. Therefore, although there are many people's names registered in the shrine, there are not many permanent residents. Only the chief priest and Ni Yi, who have specific positions, and Su Yue and Xi Zhao, who are not even qualified for training, will stay in the shrine for a long time. Unless it is a special day, there will not be too many clergy present.
"Tea, please."
Then, follow the moon and serve tea.
Xizhao, who was standing next to him, stared at Fufu on Yuzhuanjin's shoulder for a long time. When Fufu turned his head and looked back, she immediately hugged Suyue's arm and shouted, "Suyue, look, it's alive!"
"Really!"
Su Yue also said with surprise.

Today's normal update (2/2).
Volume 40 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter Qinghe Priest
……
Sitting in the shrine's reception hall, Yuzhongjin picked up his teacup and waited slowly. The place was filled with a sacred atmosphere that made his mind calm and peaceful. However, the two girls beside him kept whispering, and no one knew what they were plotting.
I could only vaguely hear familiar words like "It's so unfair, how can she be so cute?" and "I really want to give her a good rub."
Seeing Fu Fu's particularly vigilant reaction, Fox Shadow dived directly into Yu Zhuanjin's arms, calling "Ah Wu, Ah Wu", obviously wanting the latter to stroke its fur and soothe its still young heart.
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin smiled lightly and immediately put his hand on Fu Fu, stroking him gently and regularly from top to bottom. The latter immediately yawned, then squinted his eyes and took a nap in the warm afternoon.
"awsl!"
Xizhao covered her chest with her hands, as if an arrow of love had pierced her heart. She quickly leaned on Suyue's shoulder to calm her pounding heart.
"How to do?"
Su Yue's gaze fell on Fu Fu from time to time. They were completely unable to resist cute animals, but it would be impolite to touch them directly.
Hearing this, Yu Zhuanjin raised his hand slightly while Fu Fu was still sleeping, and waved to Su Yue and Xi Zhao, indicating that they could come over and pet Fu Fu together.
Seeing this, Su Yue and Xi Zhao looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they hurriedly approached with light and steady steps.
immediately……
“…Ah! So cute!”
Suyue picked up Fu Fu with both hands, and couldn't help twisting her body around, rubbing her cheek against the fox cub's fur.
"This tail, these ears~"
Xizhao buried her head in Fu Fu's tail, feeling the smooth feeling brushing against her face, and jumped with excitement.
"Chiuwu? Ahwu!"
Only Fu Fu woke up suddenly. He struggled desperately but could not escape from the devil's clutches. His two erect fox ears trembled, making him look even more adorable.
Tart, tart, tart——
Just as Su Yue and Xi Zhao were playing, a clear and steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the temple. However, the two of them did not react at all and were still immersed in the world full of foxes.
A priest in a white imperial robe slowly walked into the temple. He had a solemn demeanor and a fierce aura in his every move. His eyes were like torches and his handsome face was outstanding. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Su Yue and Xi Zhao were behaving inappropriately, so he reminded them, "Su Yue, Xi Zhao, why are you two staying here?"
"Ah~ It's Lord Palace Administrator! You're back?" This scared Su Yue and Xi Zhao, and they couldn't help but relax their hands that were holding the fox tightly.
Fu Fu jumped down immediately and ran back to Yu Zhuan Jin's side.
At the same time, when Yu Zhuanjin heard Su Yue and Xi Zhao address the priest in front of him, he immediately realized that the other party must be the senior brother that Yun He was talking about.
When I heard Yun He mention this person before, he was at least thirty-five or thirty-six years old, but he looked surprisingly young, almost like a man in his twenties.
Immediately, Yuzhongjin stood up.
At the same time, the priest also noticed Yuzhongjin and was puzzled, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Miojin, a shrine maiden from Inari Shrine. I have been taken care of by the former shrine maiden, Yunhe, recently, and I am here to introduce you to this letter."
After saying that, Yu Zhuanjin took out Yunhe's letter from his arms and handed it to the priest. When the latter heard the name Yunhe, he was stunned at first, then he quickly took it and looked him up and down.
After confirming that the letter was indeed signed by his junior sister, he opened the envelope and read it carefully.
……
"The Inari Shrine maiden, Ootenzu, right?"
After a long time, the priest put down the letter, and then looked up at Yuzhongjin in front of him. Only then did he notice that the latter's name was not a homonym but the exact name of a god.
"Yes."
Yuzhongjin nodded deeply.
"Sorry, I was rude."
After receiving this answer, the priest lowered his head slightly to show the most basic respect, and then introduced himself, "My name is Qinghe, the current chief priest of Hikawa Shrine. I already know the reason why you came here. You came here to practice your abilities, and I can't refuse such a reason."
He is humble and elegant in his conversation, which makes it difficult for people to have a bad impression of him at first sight.
"Thank you so much!"
At this moment, Yuzhongjin felt inexplicably embarrassed. As a novice shrine maiden, she had to use her connections to find a very capable and busy priest as her guide.
"No, this is just a small matter." Especially for the priestess who bear the name of God, although they do not belong to the same shrine, they cannot be ignored, because once such people are trained, they will inevitably be the backbone of the human camp in the future, and the significance of their existence is more important than their ability.
So, the Qinghe priest waved his hands quickly, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I wonder how Yunhe is doing these days? I haven't seen her for many years..."
Compared to the matter of Yuzhongjin, Qinghe Priest was more concerned about Yunhe's living conditions in recent years.
"...As for Yunhe, I think she lives a pretty good life. Although she raises two children alone, she never looks depressed. Instead, she is very cheerful." Yu Zhuanjin recalled her impression of Yunhe and felt that such a person is very optimistic and positive about life.
"Not bad? That's good~"
Only the priest Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, as if the stubborn stone pressing on his heart had been removed.
Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin became confused. She felt that Priest Qinghe's perspective on Yunhe's affairs was different from hers. Was there a need to worry about someone with that kind of personality?
But on second thought, it seems to be true. After all, it is normal to show some concern after not seeing each other for several years.
"As the chief priest, I approve of your training at Hikawa Shrine, but..."
Priest Qinghe paused for a moment, then continued: "During this period, it is necessary to keep your name secret to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. So, from now on, I will call you 'Fushimi, Inari'."
His last name is Fushimi and his first name is Inari.
Although the meaning remains unchanged, suspicion has been avoided successfully. Otherwise, if other shrines knew that the Hikawa Shrine, which enshrines Susanoo, has a divinely ordained shrine maiden bearing the name of Inari God, it would have an unknown impact.
Carrying the name of God is equivalent to receiving God's blessing. There are even rumors that this type of priestess has the talent of being descended by God.
"Fushimi Inari? I really like this name."
Yu Zhuanjin naturally accepted it, after all, it was just a title.
Then, the priest Qinghe turned his head and was about to call Suyue and Xizhao over, but they were nowhere to be seen? He only saw two figures, one red and one blue, chasing a black baby fox outside the door.
Chirping non-stop.
"I'm sorry that my two bad disciples have caused you trouble."
Holding his forehead with his hand, Priest Qinghe suddenly felt that he had lost all face.
"No, they're lively."
Yu Zhuanjin defended him, but he was a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that those two silly-looking guys were actually disciples of Qinghe Priest? He couldn't tell at all.
