"The timing of the exchange is getting late.”
Ross was a little depressed. Just as he had expected, there was a limit to the number of times he could swap bodies with Clover. This time, it took a whole week for him to arrive late. He had almost finished writing " April is Your Lie " by hand. Although he felt a little uneasy, it did not affect Ross's long-lost gratitude.
Shua, as expected, the door was pulled open and his sister, Four Leaf, came to wake her up again. Seeing this scene, she was speechless.
“……”
Ross couldn't help but say,"
"Good morning, Fourth Leaf. What are you going to say this time?”
"Sister, I don't want to complain anymore.”
Four Leaf said as he held his forehead. Ross coughed and stopped his wretched actions. He stood up and stretched.
"Wait for me. I'll come out after changing my clothes.”
"Alright."
He came to the mirror in the room and looked at the familiar face in the mirror. Ross muttered,
"My Three Leaves is still so cute. Speaking of which, his hair seems to have grown a little longer.”
A few minutes later, Ross, who had changed his clothes, came to the living room. His mother-in-law, Gong Shui Yiye, and his sister, Four Leaves, were already eating. The LCD TV was turned on, and it was the morning news again.
" A few days ago, we could already see Comet Diamat. Where and when can we see it? Comet Diamat is like chasing the sun, moving from east to west. So after sunset, it's diagonally above Venus, so we can observe it…"
Ross sat down. It was a very standard female sitting posture. The previous few times when she swapped positions, she had been lectured by Granny Ichiba and Sayaka the famous name for not paying attention to these details. She had learned her lesson and was no longer as careless as she was during the previous few exchanges. She no longer had the girlish heart and self-awareness of a girl.
"Sister, the chewing wine was fermented today and sent to the place where the God of Spinning, the Japanese God, and the God of Creation, Lord Ye Chui, ordered him to control his body.”
The four-leaf loli looked at her sister's hairstyle and reminded her of something. If it was a normal sister, it would be fine, but if her sister didn't tie her hair up, she would be very forgetful and wouldn't remember some things, so she reminded her.
"Eh? Is it today?"
Some scenes from the movie appeared in Ross 'mind. After connecting with some of the culture of Miyamizu Shrine that he kept learning, he knew that after the wine fermented, it needed to be sent to a cave where the gods used their bodies.
What exactly was God Control Body? Simply put, it was the body of a god in the Shinto religion. In ancient times, people believed that gods and humans lived in different realms. Only when people carried out sacrificial ceremonies would gods descend into the mortal world. Simply put, the divine body was the "body" used by gods when they descended to the mortal world. Because there were as many as eight million gods, the divine body, which was the "body" of gods, also existed in various forms, even trees.
"Yes, today is September 28th. These two days are the most suitable. It's also the weekend, and the weather is unexpectedly good.”
"I see."
Ross didn't think that he would be the one to do such an important thing because of the body swap. He didn't have any objections. After all, compared to the professional dance, this time it was just a trip to a cave.
The maple leaves fell into the stream and went with the waves, adding a hint of autumn. After Ross, Four Leaves, and his grandmother's family of three were ready, they walked up the mountain and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ross noticed that although his grandmother was healthy and strong, such a mountain road would still be difficult for people to come. He squatted down and said,
"Granny, let me carry you."
The old man didn't reject his granddaughter's filial piety and allowed her to carry him. After all, this wasn't Roth's own body. Although Clover's physical strength was still good, after carrying the old man for a distance, he felt heavy. However, after Roth was cleansed by the divine weapon, not only did his physical strength grow longer, but his mental strength also became significantly tougher. The effect was not inferior to those elite soldiers who had been painstakingly trained. It had to be said that the profoundness of a divine artifact was truly not something that could be understood purely by imagination.
Strengthened Physique, Barbaric Spirit.
"Granny, why did we spread this ritual of chewing wine?”
In order to disperse the heavy feeling of physical strength, Ross and Grandma One-leaf started talking. Old One Leaf said,"
" I don't know the exact reason. There was a fire 200 years ago. Not only did it burn half of our town, but it also burned all the documents of our shrine. That is..."
"Blue Fifth's Fire!"
The four-leaf little loli interrupted. She had heard her grandmother talk about that fire countless times and was already familiar with it. Ross couldn't help but smile. He then asked,"
"Granny, what do you think gods are?”
Ross thought about how he was considered a god's messenger, so he wanted to hear the old man's opinion on the matter. One Leaf had been a cleric for his entire life, so he said,"
"The creation and development of all things in the world stem from the effect of a mysterious power. Our Divine Dao calls the power that causes all things to be connected as gods.”
The old man's words might have contained some philosophy that Ross couldn't understand, but it seemed like he was practicing the power of nature and the gods together. One Leaf looked at her headband and said,"
"The knots we weave symbolize the power of the gods to control time. Sometimes they are twisted, sometimes they are repeated, sometimes they are broken, and sometimes they are reconnected…They represent fate and human fate. Compared to the matter that all living things grew and flowed, this was a more mysterious power.”
The old man's words made Ross understand. He thought of his own marriage book. This book made him and Three Leaves become fated. Wasn't it the matchmaker's red line that had always been circulated in Chinese mythology? Didn't the Loom of the Three Goddesses of Fate in Greek mythology also use lines to represent commands?
They chatted and walked. The journey was really long, and the little loli complained a few times. However, when she saw her sister walking calmly and briskly with her forehead covered in sweat, she didn't say much and followed quietly. Finally, after crossing mountains and wading through water for an unknown period of time, they arrived at their destination. It was a huge crater. Ross felt that this should be something that was smashed out by an ancient meteorite. She felt that it was novel and magical, and it was difficult to calm down. This spectacular scenery made her want to shout a few times and hear her own echo.
"You've worked hard. Put me down. The divine body of the god is right there.”
After putting the old man down, he walked through the small deer that was either natural or man-made to a plain in the middle of a sinkhole. He walked slowly and came to a small river. It seemed to be the source of the mountain stream. The Imperial God Body of the Miyamizu Shrine was a huge rock with a big tree on the other side of the stream.
"The hermit world is ahead."
"Hmm?"
This was a term that Four Leaves couldn't understand. One Leaf smiled kindly and said,"
"It means that world."
'The paintings in that world are probably the meaning of the netherworld,' Ross thought. He had seen many such anime in the real world, such as 'Hell Maid'. It was unknown if Four Leaf had heard it, but he ran over happily. Ross helped the old man cross the river from the rock, not caring that the water had ruined his shoes. The old man crossed the river and said,
"If you want to return from this world, you have to hand over the most important thing to the gods.”
"The most important thing?"
"It's just chewing wine."
The old man took out two wine bottles from the bag on his back. At the same time, he called out to Four Leaves who was running around. Then, he looked at the two sisters and said,
" Go. This is your demigod, something equivalent to a human's divine body. This is also the meaning of a witch. She has contributed herself to the gods and communicated with them to obtain fate and power.”
Ross and Four Leaf looked at each other, then held the wine bottle and walked into the giant rock step by step. They each placed their chewing wine into the cave, bowed and respectfully retreated.
When they returned, the sun was about to set. Bathing in the light of the setting sun, they stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Lake Sishou and the town built around the lake. Ross and Four Leaf could not help but feel refreshed. The hardships of crossing mountains and rivers seemed to have turned into many things.
"Sister, I wonder if we can see comets here?”
"I guess I can only do it at night…"
After saying this, Ross's spirit was lifted, and a hint of inspiration was caught in his mind.
" I feel like the crater where the God-controlling Body is located is very close to the town's Ito Shou Lake…"
He racked his brains and didn't even hear what Four Leaf said. In the end, he patted his shoulder and said,"
"Three Leaves, are you dreaming right now?”
