A few steps forward was a quiet shrine. Elliko had no time to observe in detail. Instead, after walking a few steps forward, he threw a copper coin into the cash box, then rang the bell and clapped his hands.

Originally, Elliko was definitely not a person who believed in gods and Buddhas, because she always thought that gods and Buddhas were delicious? Few people who made progress in the scientific age would believe in those unfounded things.

But after she traveled through time, she began to firmly believe that these existed-if not, then what is the theory of the soul?

Since science cannot explain why the soul exists, it can only be explained by mysticism.

In addition, the gods in this world really exist, so Elliko came to worship at this moment.

The gold coins fell into the cash box and made a "bang" sound of metal and wood colliding, which made Elliko slightly stunned. What's going on? Could it be that the gold coins directly touched the cash box? If that's the case...

The money in this cash box is too little, right? Is there anyone visiting this shrine?

‘Maybe the people in the shrine are very diligent and clean every day?’ Elliko thought about it and felt that the possibility of this was very high, so she was preparing to pray...

"Oh oh oh I heard the sound of money!!" As a result of a nice female voice approaching, the sliding door in front of the shrine was opened, and the wooden door frame hit the border heavily and made a "bang" sound, which scared Elliko.

Then, a woman wearing an Ultraman mask in a red and white witch suit pushed open the door and rushed out, then rushed into the cash box in front of Elliko, wanting to touch the box in front of her like a ketone body, and then said in a choked tone: "Ah, finally, I finally have money to be thrown in!!"

"..." Elliko looked at the woman in front of her in amazement. Wait what's going on... Why is Ultraman?

Elliko, you are also concerned about the wrong place! Why only complain about the mask!

"I say, whisper, you greedy witch!" At this time, a tall girl with blonde hair and red eyes walked out with an impatient look on her face and said, "Ling Meng is sleeping."

"But...but...a..." The woman in the mask said in a choked tone: "The first time, it's the first time someone has come to the shrine to invest money!"

‘So it’s really the first time, ahhh what kind of shrine is this!!’ Elliko was completely in a mess in the wind. This is really bad!

"..." The blonde girl was stunned, then looked at Elliko with an incredible expression and said, "You actually invested money?"

"Eh?" Elliko blinked. Then nodded confusedly and said, "Yes."

"You are a good person!!" The woman in the mask hugged Elliko and said in tears: "You are such a good person!"

'Where did you see the tears in your eyes? This is so stupid that you can make me a better excuse!' Elliko looked at the sky with her mouth twitching, and after a while, she said slowly: "Well, I am Elliko, a person who came out of the crack... The eldest sister asked me to stay here for a while."

I was originally going to talk about my aunt. But for some reason, an inexplicable palpitations made Elliko change to an older sister at the last moment.

‘What was the feeling I felt just now! It was like being stared at by a big devil in the abyss, so terrifying sight.’ Elliko swallowed with sweat. This world is so terrible.

"Ah. It's you." The woman in the mask nodded suddenly and then said, "No problem. Just stay there, ah, by the way, but I rarely stay in the shrine, so you have to take care of the children in the shrine with the one over there, is it okay?"

"No problem." Elliko nodded and said, "Only by giving can you gain."

"Okay, well, you can call me grandma. The blonde one over there is Lumia, and the child inside is Lingmeng." The woman in the mask scratched her head, and then said to Elliko: "Go in and sit down."

"Yes, I'm disturbing." Elliko nodded extremely politely, then followed her grandma into the shrine and sat in the living room.

This is a standard Hebei room with tatami on the ground, and in the center of the living room is a small coffee table. A little girl lies beside the coffee table, with a round face, black hair, and clothes on her body are almost the same as those on her grandma, except that one is an adult version and the other is a children's version.

"Is she the Lingmeng?" Elliko looked at the sweet-sleeping child curiously and said, "So cute~"

"After that, I'll go out if I have something to do in the afternoon. Lumia and you, take Lingmeng out to catch insects!" Grandma said to Elliko while tidying up her clothes.

"Ha? Catching insects?" Lumiya sat on the ground, staring at her mother in surprise, holding a round of fans in her hand, slapping the wind on the sleeping Ling Meng.

"Well, although I made an agreement with Lingmeng to take her out to catch insects today, but there was a sudden emergency task of retrieving the monsters in the village, so there was no way, so you can accompany Lingmeng to replenish it on my behalf." Grandma said, clenching a "coin bundle" in her hand that was respected as "District Coin".

The imperial coins are paper strips or cloth strips dedicated to God in Japanese Shinto rituals. They are stringed and hung on straight pillars and folded into several zigzag shapes.

Simply put, it is like a wooden stick with a note wrapped around it, which can be regarded as a special weapon for the witches.

"Ha? Why do I do it?" Lumiya looked at her grandma with an unknown look.

"You still ask why?" Grandma grabbed Lumiya's face hard and said angrily: "If the child is allowed to run around alone, wouldn't he be attacked by a cannibal monster?"

"...I'm just a she-cannibal monster too." Lumia said helplessly.

"Well, I'll bother you!" Grandma said in a tone of awesomeness, but I don't know when the Ultraman mask on her head had turned into a huge money box.

"I said you just use this look!!" Lumia went wild.

"Of course!" Grandma said with a look (when you can see the face, where?) as expected: "If you have this look, maybe someone can throw in a few more money."

"Okay, go all the way." Lumia sighed helplessly, waved her hand to her mother, and then sat on the ground with a loss of strength.

"That..." Elliko, who was watching the two people interacting, raised his hand weakly and said, "I feel that the relationship between you two is so good."

"Ahhaha...is it? Ahhaha..." Lumiya smiled weakly, and was about to say something, but she was attracted by a rustling sound.

"Um... pee..." The little Lingmeng rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze, then shook and ran towards the corridor.

"Hey Lingmeng, run slowly... be careful..." Lumiya saw this scene and quickly got up and ran over with Lingmeng, then carefully protected her next to her.

‘Wow… it feels like a family of three…’ Elliko looked at the scene in amazement, then looked at the direction where my mother left…

"Is this the rhythm of the husband going out to work and his wife taking care of the children at home?" Elliko complained blankly, then sat on the ground helplessly, waiting for Lumia and Lingmeng to come out.

—————————————————————————————

Somewhere dark.

"Pu and the family of three..." A blonde girl was pounding the floor desperately, then covering her belly and rolling.

—————————————————————————————

"...That's it, so it's me and this elder sister who accompany you to catch bugs, okay?" Lumia squatted in front of Lingmeng and said to her.

"Okay!" Ling Meng nodded without feeling any sadness, and then ran around the ground excitedly, which made Elliko look silently at the sky.

'Child's father, be careful that your child is completely alienated from you and is put into the child's fucking arms.'

So the three of them began to prepare.

Straw hat, insect net and insect box are three essential things.

"That's it, insect hunting begins!" Lumia stood on the ground, stuck on the ground with a wooden stick from the insect hunting net, and said helplessly.

"Oh oh oh!!" The little Ling Meng held the insect net in both hands and shouted excitedly.

"Where to catch insects?" Elliko, who had never experienced such a thing, looked at Lumia with excitement, forcing Lumia to complain helplessly: "Why do I think you are more excited than Lingmeng?"

"Hehe, don't care about the details~" Elliko waved his hand, and said with Lingmeng: "Get off quickly!"
