Xizhao looked at Suyue and asked.
"You must be hungry!"
Su Yue also turned his head and looked at the sunset.
"..."
Only Chun didn't speak, still lowering her head. Because of the monster disaster, she only ate a little this morning, and the monster messed up her afternoon meal. As for lunch, how could there be lunch for two meals a day? She hadn't eaten for nearly half a day.
"Suyue! I remember there is still some extra rice in the kitchen that we accidentally made today."
"Because Sunset has made so many mistakes, maybe it will be used as tomorrow's breakfast. I remember them all clearly."
"Suyue was also wrong. I made more because you said Master wanted to eat at the shrine, and Master left anyway."
"Xi Zhao only knows how to complain. I already told you that I saw Master in the temple at that time, but who knew he left again."
Xizhao and Suyue talked back and forth, and finally both snorted. However, after noticing Chun's situation, they said in unison: "In short, bring the meal over."
"By the way, the Fushimi Miko probably hasn't eaten yet, right?"
The attentive Su Yue thought of Yu Zhuan Jin. Since the latter met Chun halfway, he had no time to add more rice no matter how hard he thought about it, so he prepared bowls and chopsticks for him.
The meal was simple, with grilled fish as a side dish. Although Suyue and Xizhao were greedy, only half of it was left...
After the sisters brought out the food, they looked up at the stars in the night sky and tried to get away with it.
No, it seems that no one will lecture each other about this.
“…I’m going to start!”
The meal was shabby from an ordinary perspective, but in Chun's eyes it was a particularly sumptuous dinner that she could only have once every two weeks.
"How about we go grill some fish?" Xizhao couldn't bear the consequences.
Because it was a late night visit, they couldn't even prepare bedding in advance, so they had to have three sets. However, Su Yue and Xi Zhao put their beds together. In fact, they had always done this before.
Then they raised their hands and called to Chun, "Junior sister, please sleep between us!"
"…Don't even think about it."
Before Tsubaki could answer, Yuzhongjin said directly: "This child will sleep next to me tonight."
Hearing this, Chun raised her head in surprise, but once she met Yuzhongjin's eyes, she couldn't help but lower her head.
In fact, there was no metaphor behind Yuzhongjin's words, it was purely because...
“——Huh!”
The two sisters, who usually like to toss and turn, go to bed very early at night. Their bodies are like magnets. They hug each other and kick everything except themselves, including the quilt, to the left and right.
If Chun really slept in the middle, the scene was so unimaginable that Yuzhong Jin didn't dare to think about it.
"……Eh."
Tsubaki, who had not yet fallen asleep, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. Fortunately, the shrine maiden did not let her go there, otherwise it would be really unimaginable. She covered her face with the quilt with one hand, and the black baby fox lay beside her, staring at her and Yuzenjin who was sitting in front of the oil lamp and reading the chronicle quietly.
She even mentioned her name as Yuzhongjin, but everyone called her "Fushimi Miko" and they were trying to scare her with the secret. Tsubaki looked at Yuzhongjin's back and thought to herself, and finally fell asleep without realizing it.
"Ah woo~"
Fu Fu reported softly to Yu Zhuan Jin.
"Are they all asleep? It's really worrying."
Yu Zhuanjin stood up and covered the three children with blankets. She also cut off a section of the oil lamp with her own hands. The light gradually dimmed, and she was still thinking about one thing...
Although Chun was to be sent to Qinghe Priest, as the latter was a priest, there would be many restrictions if he wanted to accept a disciple, and it would not be something he could do casually.
Maybe background doesn’t matter, but talent is crucial.
Tsubaki has decent talent. If she were placed in an ordinary shrine, she would naturally be ranked first. But in the Hikawa Shrine, she does not seem to be outstanding.
If talent is divided into nine levels, Kikyo would naturally be the best of the best. Although Suyue and Xizhao have flaws, their qualities allow them to rank among the top two.
Chun, if she didn't have that defect, maybe she could have stepped into the top three.
But unfortunately, she did, so she had to be relegated to the upper-middle class.
Above-average talent can be said to be one in a hundred, but this is just another name for mediocrity. Only those with the top three talents are qualified.
"…So what should we do?"
With her hand on her chin, Yu Zhuanjin kept thinking, and finally she lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand...
The black witch, Tsubaki, is good at cursing. This is the description in the original book. Speaking of curses in Japan, the most famous ones must be the strange stories and anecdotes about the Ugly Shrine.
The hour of the Ox is always associated with curses.
——The girl of the hour of ugliness.
The Shikigami card that Yuzhongjin had thrown into the warehouse, thinking that he might never have the chance to use it in his lifetime, seemed to be emitting light towards Tsubaki.
This card is surprisingly suitable for it.
Yuzhongjin thought about it for a long time. The function of the Shikigami card is only to grant abilities and will not affect the target's personality. Although the Ugly Woman has a bad personality, Chun is a well-behaved child.
use!
With this in mind, Yuzhongjin placed his hand on Tsubaki's forehead and stroked it gently. The Shikigami Card turned into golden divine power and gradually flowed into the latter's body.
As long as she has this Shikigami card, Tsubaki will not trigger the imbalance defect when she uses R-level spiritual power in the future, but if she exceeds this limit, it is hard to say...
But it was also enough to ensure that Chun would not be injured by the backlash.
This is the only thing Yuzhongjin can do.

Volume 62 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter The Talent of the Black Witch [Request a Blade! ]
The next day, the sky was clear and the air was clear.
Suyue and Xizhao stood on the left and right, each holding one of Chun's hands and pulling her into the forest of the Guardian Forest, and said excitedly: "Junior sister, come and practice with us!"
"Eh? Ah!"
Chun was confused about the situation. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found Yuzhongjin sitting under a tree. It was impossible to refuse such a familiar sister.
"You two, you scared the kid."
Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but remind them. She didn't expect that Su Yue and Xi Zhao's passion had not dissipated, but instead intensified to this extent.
So how much do you lack playmates in your daily life?
"Yes, we will pay attention!"
Xizhao raised her hand to assure him, and then continued to hold Chun's hand as before, and went to the place where they usually practiced spells...
Mantra: Heaven cries!
It was like autumn rain mixed with winter wind. It was the spiritual spell cast by Suyue and Xizhao together. It was unexpectedly smooth. It was clear that the distance between their positions was more than five meters.
It seems that I was really practicing seriously yesterday.
Yuzhongjin nodded secretly.
To an expert, the two intertwined spiritual powers seemed to be one and the same, as if it should be so. At least that was how it appeared in the spiritual vision developed by Yu Zhuanjin.
Chun, who didn't understand the situation, could also see the excitement as an outsider. This was completely different from the intimidation she had previously been able to inflict by just saying "Don't come over."
It is more gorgeous and no less powerful.
"……Amazing!"
So, Chun immediately said in amazement.
As soon as the voice fell, Su Yue and Xi Zhao were both stunned, and then looked at each other. The latter couldn't help asking: "Su Yue, did you hear what Junior Sister just said?"
"Sunset, of course I heard it."
Su Yue nodded confidently, as if Chun had just said something very extraordinary. The atmosphere became weird for a moment, and the latter couldn't help but reflect on what she had said wrong?
"How many years have it been..."
Sunset seemed to sob.
“Someone actually commented on us saying ‘how awesome’!”
Su Yue added in the same tone as Xi Zhao.
They have been in the shrine for six years and have practiced for six years, but the master only gives them training that is barely passable or simply terrible. Even the Fushimi shrine maiden, who is gentle in character and usually does not say things that hurt others' feelings, can only say "not bad" at most.
In other words, it still does not meet the other party's expectations.
But today, the sudden appearance of "Siguoyi" made their hearts tremble, what a beautiful voice.
Just like in the legend...
“…Good news!”
Suyue and Xizhao immediately opened their arms and hugged Chun tightly.
As expected, junior sisters are the best!
“Don’t talk as if your master abuses you all day long.” Yu Zhuanjin said.
"Of course, Master is the best too!"
The two sisters Suyue and Xizhao said in unison.
"Junior sister, this is our treasured manuscript. It is our concise and unique notebook that integrates all the spells in the library."
Xizhao took out a paper copy from his arms and handed it to Chun. A strong sense of pride as a senior suddenly arose in his heart.
"Let us teach you a quick introduction to spells."
In this regard, Suyue said confidently.
Having copied all the annals in the library, they had an extraordinary knowledge of spells. If not for the defects in their spiritual powers, they would have reached the standard of becoming a normal apprentice long ago.
"So you still have that kind of stuff?"
To be honest, Yuzhongjin was also curious about this.
"But I can't read..."
Chun lowered her head and said with some inferiority.
"It's okay! You can learn if you don't know how to do it."
Xizhao didn't mind at all and gave encouragement.
Besides, isn't it normal for a six-year-old to not know how to read? Su Yue and Xi Zhao didn't know how to read at first, until they were punished to copy the annals.
Thus, the joyful learning begins.
It seems that the priestess of the Hikawa Shrine likes to teach others the common knowledge of spells, which is a custom passed down from generation to generation. Yuzhongjin feels that the current Suyue and Xizhao are just like Yunhe in the past.
As the sun gradually rose towards the horizon, Tsubaki's face became more and more smiling, and the two sisters on the other side, who were acting like seniors, were also extremely excited.
Yu Zhuanjin just stared at them, and the corners of her runhong mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. With Suyue and Xizhao by her side, there was no way Chun would go astray.
As an upright and selfless miko who fights for the good of the world, that is exactly what Mizutsu expects of Tsubaki.
The sun was high in the sky, but the shadows of the trees in the forest were cool. Yu Zhuanjin stayed here for a long time, and left quietly after a while, preparing to go to the library to change a book to read.
"Fushimi Miko?"
While walking on the meditation path, I suddenly heard a puzzled voice behind me. I saw a figure in white slowly walking up to me. It was the priest Qinghe. Then he said, "I remember that you left yesterday afternoon..."
"We encountered some minor problems along the way."
Yuzhongjin told the Qinghe priest what had happened. The latter nodded while listening. Finally, he could not help but sigh and said to him, "For those who do not know, things that cannot be understood are always classified as abnormal and persecuted. Many priestesses did not have a good life when they were young, because the spiritual power bestowed by heaven is never determined by birth. Even children in the mountains may have strong spiritual power. Ignorant people will be afraid because children who are granted spiritual power are beyond ordinary people. In the minds of most people, only monsters are different from ordinary people."
"I wonder if Priest Qinghe is willing to take care of that child?" Yuzhongjin asked tentatively.
"Maybe we can let Quan Zhu take charge. He has more than a dozen disciples now and is very experienced."
Priest Qinghe pushed the matter over to Quan Gongsi.
As expected, entrusting Tsubaki to someone else is not such an easy task.
"That child's spiritual power has some special characteristics."
