Relic-Ruins / Sheep, Sheep

Lantian Zhu, who was usually playful, was taken aback by Cong Yu's words. He then remained silent, simply sticking out his buttocks to express his opinion.

Seeing the look in Lantian Zhu's eyes that clearly expressed "there's such a good thing?", Cong Yu could only sigh that this was just Little Lan's usual performance.

Lantian Zhu, Steamed Shrimp Heads.

Finally, Xiao Cui offered a more reasonable and constructive suggestion. "Let's eat curry!"

It feels like it's been a long time since I've had curry.

Xiao Cui spoke up, and Lantian Zhu and Cong Yu naturally had no objections... Besides, the game had started, so it was time to play.

"Okay, let's make curry then..."

With that, Yaochuan Guang picked up the apron hanging on the wall and went into the kitchen, then quickly poked his head out again. "Oh right, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the temple to pray... Cong Yu, will your friends be coming?"

My friend?

Well, this time it probably won't happen...

Everyone's so busy, oh well, being busy is good--

Cong Yu sighed like a lonely old man, but in reality... it was Cong Yu, the one slacking off, who should be condemned more.

Chapter 782 Relics

"Happy New Year--"

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year!"

Happy New Year... yawn

"..." When Cong Yu opened his eyes, he saw the New Year's greetings from the three little ones and Hong, and he promptly replied, "Yes, Happy New Year."

Although Cong Yu is not the type of person who habitually says things like "I'm back," "Let's eat," or "Thank you for the meal."

However, he is not stingy with words like "Happy New Year," just as he is not stingy with "Happy Birthday."

Yawning, Cong Yu got up and dressed with everyone...

To be fair, in the past, Cong Yu would at least try to avoid it to some extent, and would just change clothes in bed and that would be it.

But later I got too lazy to bother with those things...

After all, nobody here cares about taking off their pajamas and putting on clothes they could wear outside in front of Cong Yu... and Cong Yu didn't care much either.

Incidentally, Hong doesn't have the habit of changing into her pajamas to sleep.

All she had to do was raise her long legs high and pull up her pants, that was all.

But it's undeniable that Hong's figure was the only one worth looking at among everyone present...

Cong Yu didn't care at all. He got ready to go out, looking at the notification on his phone—

[From the original team behind Magical Girl Brawl, a new title, Rise of Alien, is scheduled for release; QGN rating: 8/10.]

In Age of Magic, should we still be wary of relationships with significant age gaps between members of the opposite sex? Let's hear what the experts have to say.

Yes, this era where everyone is being transformed into magical girls and monsters has been named the "Age of Magic."

It always feels rather absurd.

I wonder if the Buddha laughed until he cried.

And such push notifications...

If he didn't know his pink-haired homeroom teacher wasn't good at writing, he would have thought it was that clumsy homeroom teacher.

Written.

In the Age of Magic, what needs to be watched out for may not be heterosexual relationships, but rather unhealthy same-sex relationships.

After all, since everyone is unable to have children, the importance of gender has become negligible...

This may also be one aspect of the Age of Magic.

Even the Buddha couldn't help but shed tears of blood.

As Cong Yu was thinking this, Yaochuan Guang and the others finally finished changing their clothes and called out to Cong Yu, "Cong Yu- chan, let's go to the shrine!"

Cong Yu put her phone in her pocket, grabbed her coat, and headed for the door, saying, "Coming, coming."

January 1st, the Gregorian New Year.

5:45 AM.

In other cities, shrines and temples would already be packed with people and bustling with noise at this time of day.

After all, there's the saying "the first incense offering".

But Wind City was unusually deserted.

People from Wind City don't get up early on holidays to visit shrines or temples.

Yes, but it's not necessary.

When Cong Yu and Yaochuan Guang's group walked onto the street in the early morning, Xiao Cui was still a little unruly.

She's only been here for two years, and hasn't yet gotten used to the tranquility of the Wind City's mornings...

Fusha Village is actually quite run-down, but it is a small town with very few temples and shrines.

There are too many surrounding villages.

In addition, since Kagetsuru Family was also a hotel, many people from out of town went to worship in the surrounding streets... so it became quite crowded.

"So, Cong Yu- chan's friends really aren't coming..."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, she showed a "regretful" expression... It seemed she quite liked those friends.

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Xiao Cui: "..."

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui felt that it would be better if those friends didn't come... they felt like they were there to steal their man.

But it's said that he can't come...

Actually, it did arrive.

As they were thinking, a bolt of lightning, intertwined with golden and purple light, streaked across the sky... passing in the direction the group was heading.

It then paused briefly in the air, realized it had flown too far ahead, and flew back in the opposite direction before the lightning dissipated in mid-air.

"Hi hi hi!"

Takemikazuchi greeted everyone, then buried his face in Cong Yu's head and leaned on his shoulder. "I'm here!"

Everyone started greeting Takemikazuchi upon his arrival.

Cong Yu nodded, scratched Takemikazuchi's chin, but his gaze remained fixed on a billboard.

[Yixin (いつせき)をする? (Afraid that the banquet will not be full?)]

It appears to be an advertisement for an izakaya (Japanese pub), highlighting the selling point as "you can get a refund for any extra seats (if someone cancels)."

It is indeed a fairly normal advertisement.

But something just feels off...

[Alien(いほし)]

[Heterosexual(いせい)]

[Yixi(いつせき)]

The pronunciations are all very similar, like playing some kind of homophonic game.

Hmm... what a strange coincidence. They're all White-White written or displayed, some even with pronunciations.

What will I see next?

いす(chair)?

With this in mind, Cong Yu frowned slightly and began to search her surroundings.

If you actively search for it, it might actually be harder to find...

Cong Yu thought to herself, watching Takemikazuchi chat, then ran up to Xiao Cui's head and listened to them talk about their last wish.

Am I being too sensitive?

Cong Yu temporarily abandoned the search for a certain pattern.

DingTalk --

Yaochuan Guang put five yuan into the offering box, shook the bell, clapped his hands together, and made a wish.

Then, in the shrine maiden's lifeless eyes, she pulled out a one-yen coin and prepared to hand it to Cong Yu behind her.

Then, Yaochuan Guang himself was stunned for a moment, took back the one yuan, and handed the five yuan back to Cong Yu.

With the shrine maiden relieved, Cong Yu, then walked aside and picked up the ema (votive plaque).

Wishes are written on ema (votive plaques) and hung on trees...

I hope my wish can come true.

"Sigh... I really don't know what to wish for."

Cong Yu sighed, while Yaochuan Guang confidently picked up the ema (votive plaque) and prepared to throw it into the tree. "My wish remains unchanged—I hope everyone can be happy!"

Yes, a very pure wish.

"Then, I'll write the same as you..."

As Cong Yu spoke, amidst Yaochuan Guang's incredulous and sullen expression, he wrote with a pen while reassuring him, "No need for that. Since our wishes are the same, the probability of the gods drawing our wishes is twice as high, isn't it?"

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

Yaochuan Guang: "Hey! That makes sense!"

Seeing that Yaochuan Guang had been fooled, Cong Yu put down his pen, then took a few steps forward and threw his ema (votive plaque) high up.

Looking up at the words I had written, "I hope Yaochuan Guang's wish can come true," they fluttered in the wind of Wind City...

Cong Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Beep beep beep--"

My phone rang; I'd received an important message.

Cong Yu simply took out her phone, shifting her gaze from Xiao Cui, Hong, and Takemikazuchi to the phone, looking at the messages in Linx.

[Pirate King: I've discovered some kind of god's ruins.]

[Pirate King: Is this related to the current state of the world?]

I see, the answer is...

Ruins(いせき)

Chapter 783 Sheep, Sheep

Should it be called a "revelation"?

Just as Zeus had shown Telemachus a sign... first, two eagles were seen taking flight from the mountain.

Then I saw an eagle circling in the air and swooping down.

Then they saw falcons gripping each other's heads and necks with their talons, circling each other as they flew into the Blue Sky.

I saw an eagle soaring over Ithaca.

Finally, Odysseus did indeed return.
