Chapter 853: Ganjin Island, Fox Mask

"The training is over. I heard that today is the festival that Inazuma will hold again after being postponed. Kamisato Ayaka and Yomiuri must have put a lot of thought into it!"

Paimon walks down the Narugami Shrine.

There are four talismans hanging on Ying's body, namely Fanan, Yingda, Shiranui and Xuenv.

Yandora was flying beside them.

Kujo Sara stared at the Yaksha spirit and the hundred demons with a serious expression.

The strength of these four people is very impressive.

Also, that dragon.

"Hey, little guy, with your size, you should stay somewhere for a while and let your lover come back to find you! Otherwise, flying out would be too shocking." Yae Gongsi looked at Du Lin and said, "I'll let you learn how to fill your body with lightning and speed up your flight. This is my reward for letting you visit the Inazuma Islands."

As the chief priestess of Narujin Taisha Shrine, she has to sit in the shrine throughout every ceremony because the ceremony includes sacrifices and the process of inviting and sending off gods.

Theoretically, it is impossible to go out and play with Ying and Paimon who are attending the festival at the moment.

However, as a beautiful and wise fox fairy, she naturally has her own way.

It was a clone, or an illusion, where one of the Yaejiya priests stayed in the shrine while the other one went out to play. She was already very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

She remembered the girl who made fireworks. One year, she asked Kamisato Ayaka to go to Naganohara's house to order a few fireworks for herself to play with.

The girl stared at him in the shrine in confusion for the whole night, wanting to see how he could set off fireworks if he couldn't go out and could only sit there.

But I didn't expect that I had already sneaked out to play, had some snacks outside, took a bath, set off fireworks, played tricks on mortals... and did all the things that interested me.

I asked Linghua to reply to the girl that the fireworks were great.

She still looked surprised and confused.

"This time, let's continue to sneak out!" Yae Miyabi sat upright in the shrine, showing the majesty of the great priestess.

Then, the witchcraft was cast.

The real Yaemiyaji has already escaped.

The entire Inazuma Castle is filled with a festival atmosphere, but the most lively place is still on Ganjin Island.

That is Konda Village, a small island next to the White Fox Field.

Visitors from the outlying islands and Inazuma Castle can all gather here to experience the most intense festival ceremony.

"Princess Egret!"

"Princess Egret!"

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka came over. Although they had changed their clothes, the residents of Inazuma still easily recognized Kamisato Ayaka.

"so beautiful!"

“How beautiful!”

“So girly!”

Each girl looked at the "White Egret Princess" who seemed completely different from usual, with a girl's shyness and beauty, holding hands with the man next to her.

"That person is... Fusheng..." a soldier who was maintaining order spoke.

"The Great Seated God, seen on a moonlit night!" At first, many people did not recognize who this handsome man in Inazuma's clothes was.

Soon, after one person knew about it, everyone around him knew about it.

Those who had been treated by Jiang Yi looked surprised.

For some reason, I thought of Xiao Gong who was next to Jiang Yi before.

What to say!

This god has really good luck in love and is very romantic!

But they don't seem to feel jealous.

Especially according to legend, he saved countless people on the battlefield.

The great achievements and power of a mortal god, her incomparable appearance and temperament, are so great that men can only feel ashamed when they see her.

What's more, the eldest daughter of the community seems to have known this god before.

"The eldest daughter of the Kamizato family?" Some foreign businessmen who were staying here because of the isolation order looked in surprise at the eldest daughter of the Kamizato family, the community magistrate, whom they had only heard of but never seen.

The Kamisato family is a very prestigious family in Inazuma. Is this eldest lady sending any signal?

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka came to a stall at the entrance.

"Hey! Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family?" A bearded, energetic middle-aged man teased.

"Ah! I... ahem, hello." Kamisato Ayaka was a little nervous and held Jiang Yi's hand tightly.

Many people had called out her name along the way, but after hearing what Jiang Yi said, that one should buy delicious food and fun things at the festival, she was still nervous and her steps were stiff when she walked to the stall.

“Hahaha, it feels like the whole island has become lively since Miss Kamisato came.” The middle-aged man said, “I still remember that when you Kamisato siblings first took over the family business, you often showed up outside. Later, you showed up less often.”

"Some young people were born late and not in Inazuma City, so they have no chance to see you. Older uncles like me who have lived longer can see you more often." He smiled.

Kamisato Ayaka said politely: "You are too kind. My brother and I are just fulfilling our obligations."

The middle-aged man laughed: "Hahahaha, this is the first time I see someone from your family coming to a festival. Are you here to perform official duties?"

Kamisato Ayaka heard the other person's laughter and quickly said to the people around her: "Everyone... don't be restrained. I... I'm not here to perform official duties."

"I, I'm just taking people here for a tour." The pendant on her bun swayed, and her gray-blue eyes were filled with nervousness.

"..."

"..."

"..."

It looked like this group of people were not here on official business, but they were obviously not here just for sightseeing either. The "White Egret Princess" was trying to cover up her mistake, but it only made it more obvious.

"Haha, we all saw it. Taking people on a tour, yeah! Taking people on a tour!" The middle-aged man smiled.

Kamisato Ayaka's face turned red!

"Hey! Guys! Miss Kamisato has brought people to the festival to play, so show your best spirit and appearance! Let 'Princess White Egret' feel the lively atmosphere of the festival." The middle-aged man shouted, and his voice was spread out like a marathon relay.

There are many considerations involved, but one of them is to prevent uninformed people from bumping into Miss Kamisato, or causing conflicts during the festival, which would give Miss Kamisato a bad experience.

Although the other party did not say that they were here to perform official duties, they, the civilians, had to be alert today.

At least, don't cause any security problems or arguments with others when Miss Kamisato is out having fun.

Don't try any tricks to cheat people out of money or raise the price.

"No... please, please don't make it known like that." Kamisato Ayaka had never expected that the news of her arrival would spread so quickly by this uncle.

"Uncle, give us two masks!" Jiang Yi couldn't blame the survival rules of the little people, and asked, "How much?"

This is a stall selling fox masks, with a white base painted with blue or red paint to form the fox's eyes, ears, and forehead patterns.

Some masks have a pointed chin, while others have a rounder chin.

Inazuma used to have the custom of wearing a mask when attending festivals, but it has become a popular festival costume. However, it is okay not to wear one.

But since I'm here with Kamisato Ayaka, I naturally need to experience all the things I should experience.

"This is the first time we've seen Miss Kamisato come to the festival. These two masks are for you." The uncle took out a fox mask with a pointed chin and a round chin.

This doesn't actually represent gender, but rather represents Inazuma's heavenly fox and earthly fox.

Of course, some people like to be a match between lovers.

Give the pointed-chin Sky Fox mask to Jiang Yi, and the Earth Fox mask to Miss Kamisato.

"No, no, no, let's just pay!" Kamisato Ayaka refused.

"Okay, take it!" said the middle-aged man, "We civilians are often taken care of by the society, so we have to show our appreciation, right? This mask is our gift to you."

"The festival will select some lucky people who come to play and give them gifts... Don't refuse them."

"Just let me share in your good luck. From now on, business will prosper!" he said with a smile.

Kamisato Ayaka hesitated and said, "Okay!"

She took the mask, looked around, and quickly put the Sky Fox mask on the side of Jiang Yi's head.

"Pfft!" Jiang Yi laughed and put the earth fox mask on Kamisato Ayaka.

"Thank you." He said to the stall owner, "I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you for your good words!" said the middle-aged man with a fist salute.

Jiang Yi held Kamisato Ayaka's hand. There were a lot of people at the festival and people who traveled together would easily be squeezed apart, so this was the best way.

At the same time, he used his strength to protect Kamisato Ayaka and ensure that there was a space around the two of them.

Amidst a burst of lively music.

There were floats parading across the island, with people on stilts wearing all kinds of masks and costumes.

Jiang Yi pulled Kamisato Ayaka to the side and watched the float pass by together.

Those masks, some are ferocious, some are cute, some are majestic, some are beautiful... It is rumored that they are all people, monsters, and samurai who followed the generals in Inazuma's history.

Water and other things are sprinkled to exorcise evil spirits and to grant blessings and prayers.

There are sacrificial dances and ceremonies to welcome and send off gods afterwards.

"Look, Ying, they have masks for sale over there." After Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka walked forward for a distance, Ying, Paimon, and Kujo Sara arrived.

"I seemed to hear Linghua's name..." Ying looked around curiously. Someone was talking about something about Miss Kamisato bringing Tsukiya Mitsukoshi for a date.

"Yeah! I heard it too. Who is Yue Ye Jianzun? Date?" Paimeng's face became serious.

"It's Jiang Yi!" Kujo Sara said expressionlessly, "Our shogunate gave him the name of a god, Usage Amaterasu Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, and the Inazuma residents called him Zuohuang Daimikami, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto."

"Oh! Oh! It's Jiang Yi!" Paimeng nodded. For some reason, he felt relieved for Jiang Yi.

"Wait, date?" She realized belatedly, "When did it develop to this extent?"

"..."Ying, "Too fast!"

"Soon?" Yandora was puzzled. "Yandora had expected this a long time ago."

"..." Ying looked at Yan Duola. This girl was crippled by Jiang Yi! If she were to be boiled as an emergency water source while Jiang Yi was away,

"I... I... can't comment." Kujo Sara was silent for a second and then spoke.

She didn't want to come, but was dragged to the festival by Ying and Paimon.

"Ying, I want to buy a mask. This is a custom for participating in the festival! Look, many people are wearing them. I heard that Jiang Yi and Shenli Linghua also bought masks there." Paimon pointed to the stall, "After we buy them, we will catch up with them!"

"Don't chase me!" Yandora stopped her, "Do you know what a date is? Paimon, you should learn from Yandora and read more books."

"???" Paimon felt insulted. Are you saying that the best guide who knows many languages ​​in Teyvat can't read a single word? Or are you doubting my intelligence?

"We are secretly following and observing from behind! Aren't you interested?" She chuckled twice and looked at everyone.

"Not interested!" said Kujo Sara mercilessly.

"We are here to participate in the festival." Ying said.

"Yandora held back and didn't keep up!" Yandora said with her hands on her hips.

"Okay... okay!" Paimeng had no choice but to obey the majority. She didn't dare to go up alone. She had said bad things about him before, and she didn't know if Jiang Yi had forgotten.

"Then let's go buy some masks!" She looked at the stall with many masks.

"Yandora wants one too!" Yandora looked at Ying, "I'll pay for it myself."

"Huh? Yandora, do you have money?" Paimeng looked at Yandora in surprise. He had no place to put the money on him.

"Hehe! I have pocket money too." Yandora ignored Paimon, reached into her stomach, and took out Mora, "Fanan, Yingda, Shiranui, and Yuki Onna, I'll buy your masks too!"

Yandora clapped her hands and went to buy a mask.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man could not provide mini masks of the size of Yandola and Paimon, so he could only agree to arrange it later.

The arrival of Kujo Sara made people a little nervous.

However, I have met the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family today, and I can’t bear to see General Kujo again.

Ying bought one for herself and Kujo Sara.

"Oh! It feels like we are the only ones being excluded. Do we really have to tell the boss to use leaves instead?" Paimon wanted to cry but had no tears. "But I don't want any of it at all."

"Yandora, create!" Yandora suddenly spoke, and used water to create a small fox mask next to her head.

Paimon was stunned.

"Yandora, you traitor! I'm the only one without a mask!" Paimon felt that such a lively festival was accompanied by gusts of cold wind.

Lonely and cold!

And over there...

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka came to the new stall.
