Chapter 734 – Yew Wah’s Secret 1
What happened to me now?
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember it.
But now, in front of me, for some reason, I am seeing a scene that I miss.
“I’m still a child… How did I end up in a place like this by myself…”
The face of the priest who raised me, a little younger than I remembered.
I want to see that face more closely. But why can’t the priest’s face be shown properly?
As if only the priest’s face had been ripped out of my memory, I couldn’t remember the face I wanted to see.
It must have been a difficult memory. But for some reason, it feels awkward, like seeing someone else’s memory.
“This child came to our shrine… This must also be the fate of this child, led by God XX… So, at our shrine…”
Didn’t the priest say that the day he found me was a sunny day? Or did you say it was a cloudy day?
I can’t remember what day it was. Only the figure of the child holding the hand of the priest is properly visible.
A young girl with a tattered appearance, as if she had been lost for a long time after losing her parents.
For some reason, I couldn’t even remember her parents or her own name, it was me when I was young.
“Your name is XXX from today. From now on, at this shrine, you will become a shrine maiden serving God XX…”
Why? This must be a very precious memory for me.
However, I can’t even remember my name, which the priest gave me.
What era was this? Where was the shrine located?
As if recalling some broken memory, the memory is somehow missing.
“Ah. Okay. Is this child the new shrine maiden?”
“It’s a relief that the young child didn’t go to such a dangerous place alone… Caught by a monster.”
“Did XX take care of you? It seems that you came here as a guidance from God.”
“Hall hall. Young lady. I hope to go along well…”
Even in the midst of such memories are missing somewhere, this cozy feeling that comes to mind clearly.
I see grateful people who welcomed a child whom even their parents couldn’t remember, who suddenly became a shrine maiden.
Like the priest, her face is not showing properly. Still, I can remember the nostalgic feeling of the people who visited the shrine one by one.
If you think of people you miss so much, surely they too…
“Are you the child your father brought you? Nice to meet you. I am XXX…”
Ah… Why… The face of the person I want to see the most…
But let alone his face… I can’t even remember his name properly…
If I can remember even the name, I don’t think I’ll have any more time… But, why is the most important memory…
Aww… But… Just thinking of that person like this makes my heart…
“That village has been protected by God XX since a very long time ago. This shrine was built to thank XX. Since you too have become a shrine maiden of our shrine, you must serve God XX with all your heart and sincerity.”
…It was. Priest.
Obviously from a long time ago. It is said that God protected the village…
Since he is the god who keeps the village peaceful, of course we have to serve him with all our heart…
But if that’s the case… Why, God let me…
Us, so…
“Hall hall. Mrs. Are you cleaning in the morning? It’s unique. Very unique.”
“Hoo. Have you already memorized your congratulations? The young priestess is pretty smart.”
“You are becoming more and more like a shaman with each passing day. Even God XX will be pleased.”
“Miss. I brought some of the fruits I harvested this time. Let’s try it together with the priest.”
He’s just a little kid who doesn’t care at all. The grateful people who accepted without laughing at the fact that such a child suddenly became a shrine maiden.
Thanks to the people who didn’t reject me like that, my life as a shaman was so peaceful.
Because of those grateful people and a peaceful life, I couldn’t think of anything other than a shrine maiden…
If I had walked a slightly different path, could I have avoided such an end?
That those people who are kind to me should have had such an end… So…
“As for the offerings, you can pray to God XX with this congratulatory speech. Where, would you like to proceed next time?”
“XXX! Let’s go play together! XX must be in a good mood, the weather is really nice today!”
“This is a special drink dedicated to XX-sama. XXX I’ll teach you how to make it when you’re older. Then, instead of me, XXXX and you should make it together.”
“XXX. A festival is held in the village in a few days. Would you like to go sightseeing with me?”
Ah… But… If I hadn’t become a shrine maiden…
If I hadn’t stayed at this shrine, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy this happiness…
The kind villagers who always smiled at me, the priest who treated me like family, and that person…
As much as the memories of this time… Really, happy memories… As much as this…
“XXX… If you don’t mind… Won’t you marry me…?”
“…Yes…♡”
Especially at this moment when you proposed to me…
At this moment, it was really, so happy that it brought me to tears.
The priest who is like a father… Everyone in the village… And you, for accepting me…
Yeah… Up until this point, I was happy…
“Hall hall. Are you and the priest getting married? This is really something to celebrate.”
“Haha. Somehow it seemed so. That’s how it happened.”
“I heard that I don’t know if I will continue to be a shrine maiden. Are you driving a stake at all? Whoops. Anyway, congratulations XXX~!”
“Okay. If you both agree, then I have no reason to object. XX-sama will be happy too.”
Yeah… Really, thank you everyone…
But… Everyone congratulated me like this. After this I…
As much as everyone congratulated me, of course I should have been happy. I did…
I’m not happy at all…
“Haha…! Aww, XXX…!!”
“Ah, ah♡ You, the person at the time♡”
“Hey, hey, hey…! XXX…! Please give birth to my child…!!”
“Yes♡ I will give birth to you♡ Honey♡”
Ah. Okay. For sure…
Even up until the time I connected with him, I had hope that I could be happier in the future…
A loving husband who accepted me into his family.
With such a husband, she will give birth to many children, and she will continue to live a happy life as a shrine maiden of this shrine…
I’m sure I thought so…
“Aww…! XXX…! Goes…!”
“Yes♡ Come honey♡ Your seed, inside me…♡”
“Heheh, ah, haaaaa…!!
“…? Oh, oh-oh-oh…?”
…? What…? What is this…?
Uh…? Did I… Feel this way in my ‘mating’ with my husband…?
Oh… That’s strange… I’m sure you’ve been really happy up until this point…
But for some reason… The memory of “Mating” With her husband seems a bit lacking…?
Haha… XXX… How is it? Were you satisfied?”
“Yes… Satisfied… Huh? Eh… Satisfied…?”
“Haha… I’m glad… In the future, I’ll satisfy you even more…”
…I’m sure here… She said she was satisfied, but she looked at her husband as if she was embarrassed…
But why… Do my memories seem so subtly different…?
Strange feeling… Why… Why can’t I see my husband’s face like this…
It’s fortunate, that’s how you feel…?
“…XXX. What does the doctor say…? Again…?”
“…Yes. Sorry…”
“Yes. No… On the contrary, I’m sorry… It seems like I still have to work a little harder. Let’s wait while praying to XX.”
Ah… Huh…? Uh, yeah… Yes… It was definitely from around this time…
Something made me feel unhappy… Huh? What…? It wasn’t this time, was it from the time you and your husband were married…?
It’s like… I remember something… It feels like it’s a little, jumbled up…
…Anyway… Around this time, something strange started to happen…?
“XX-sama… Please… I will serve XX more diligently from now on… Please, take care of that child…”
No matter how hard you try. No matter how much you pray A child with him that hasn’t been born in years…
At first, she intended to give birth to several children by him. On the contrary, she couldn’t conceive even one child…
So I prayed to God every day… But instead of listening to my request, God gave me a bigger ordeal…
“Cool, cool…! …Whoa… I guess, I think I’ve come this far…”
“Ah, Father…”
“Father…”
“Cool…! From now on, XXXX you are the god of this gentleman. Lead this gentleman well with XXX…”
“Father… Don’t say that… XX must be…”
“Haa… No… This is all XX-sama’s will… Now that I’m older, it’s just about time… Cool…! But… It’s a bit unfortunate that I have to go without seeing my grandson’s face… Cool, cool…!”
“Ah, Father!!”
Ah… Priest… No, Father…
I wanted to give my father, whom I really appreciate, cute grandchildren…
But until my father left… I couldn’t show my grandchildren properly…
I’m really, really sorry, Father…
“Cool, cool…! No XXX… If I see something like this, it must be a contagious disease…”
“Ugh… Ha, but, honey…”
“It’ll happen soon… Don’t come in, go to the temple… Cool…!”
Huh. Yes… Father, it was just the beginning…
It’s been so long since my father left… Suddenly you collapsed too…
No, it’s not just you. From this point on, a suspicious disease began to spread throughout the village… So, there were many people who came to the shrine to pray…
Rather, I should have found a way with people at this time. But I… I couldn’t learn anything besides being a shaman…
“XX-sama… Please, my husband and the villagers… I’ll try harder, please…”
So I foolishly clung to a god I didn’t even know existed, as if pleading…
Decorate your body with sincerity so that there is no uncleanness. While preparing an offering with great care to turn the heart of the god…
I prayed like that every day. But God didn’t listen to my earnest request…
Unlike ‘somebody’, you pushed me into a great misfortune…
Now that I think about it, it was a god that didn’t even exist. But, like an idiot, clinging to such an existence…
Haha… A woman like me is really…
Too bad, she was a stupid woman…
