An Invitation from the Shrine Priestess

If it's not too difficult, he could also play the Lord God.

"Me? I'd really like to hope the gods bless me so I can pass the exam!"

Kiana grinned and stuck out her tongue slightly.

"..."

Shi Hen pursed his lips.

He felt that bombing the school might be a more realistic option.

If all the exam papers are gone, then... there will be a make-up exam.

"Instead of relying on this kind of thing, you'd be better off reading a few more pages of a book."

Mei glanced at the white-haired girl and suddenly became sarcastic.

She also believes in hard work and has never liked those who cram at the last minute.

"I understand that principle too..."

Kiana muttered a complaint under her breath, her gaze drifting away.

But the prerequisite for doing this is that she can understand those books.

She barely understood the notes Shi Hen had written and needed guidance from Bronya and others.

Seeing Mei about to speak out of the corner of her eye, Kiana quickly pointed ahead. "Oh! It's our turn!"

As she spoke, the girl grabbed Shi Hen and hurried forward.

The group of people who were worshipping dispersed, and soon the group of young men arrived.

"..."

Looking at Kiana and Mei to his left and right, and then at the three little ones behind him with expectant eyes, Shi Hen inexplicably sensed the atmosphere of a conspiracy.

Although the shrine's main hall can indeed accommodate three people at a time, isn't this position a bit too unlucky?

With a sigh of helplessness in his heart, Shi Hen still obediently performed the rites, lowering his head slightly and whispering, "Then I wish us all the best."

The boy decided to exploit a bug in the gods' system.

After making his wish, Shi Hen took out a 500-yuan coin from his pocket and flicked it with his finger.

Since the wish is quite strong, let's add more money.

When--

The coin traced a slanted parabola through the air before striking the wooden frame of the money box precisely, bouncing off and landing at the boy's feet after a few tumbles.

"Pfft~"

Mei couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, Hen, what exactly did you wish for?"

Kiana made no attempt to hide her laughter.

"This god is completely ineffective."

Shaking his head, Shi Hen bent down to pick up the coin and threw it back into the cash box.

"Your wishes are clearly too high."

Mei exposed him.

"Humans are inherently creatures with deep desires."

He led the two aside to make room for the three little ones behind them, Shi Hen retorted.

The fault lies not with him, but with the world... Well, as a righteous partner in saving the world, let's be more tolerant of it.

"Someone once vowed that he would achieve his wishes with his own hands."

Mei pouted.

"That's probably because my hands aren't strong enough yet."

Shi Hen sighed helplessly.

He is now just a colonel who is slightly more capable than Anti-Entropy; his strength is ultimately too weak.

"Excuse!"

Mei immediately turned her back on him.

Watching the two arguing, Kiana couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha..."

"???"

Mei looked at the white-haired girl.

"Mei, you and Hen get along quite well," Kiana explained with a bright smile. "I heard you once rejected fifteen boys' confessions in a row, and I was worried that you and Hen wouldn't get along."

It was precisely because of this fear that she kept an eye on the two of them, and she had so much to say but couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Him? How could we possibly get along?"

Mei glanced at the boy and questioned him coldly.

If Shi Hen hadn't taught her some knowledge about Honkai, she wouldn't have had much involvement with him at all.

The girl didn't want anyone else to be implicated, given that it involved Welt White, the masked demon.

"Exactly, that must be your imagination."

Shi Hen nodded in agreement.

He was just a guide; Kiana and the others were the bonds he prepared for Mei.

With Seele the little angel and that white-haired idiot, how could we not defeat a Queen of Lightning?

The life of the young boy [Shi Hen] had to be sacrificed for Kiana.

Even if you have the special skill of Sit-up, dying too many times will lower your value.

As Kiana's only true friend, his sacrifice had to be grand and magnificent.

"Oh, don't worry about that! The most important thing is that everyone is happy together!"

Kiana grabbed both of their hands and forcibly put them together, acting completely unreasonable.

The three of them placed their hands together, feeling each other's warmth. Shi Hen and Mei met eyes, they both felt a little awkward.

Well, the young man with excellent acting skills had a hint of confusion in his eyes, while the black-haired girl had obvious panic in her eyes.

The Setsuna their hands touched, she felt a surge of happiness and joy, and even wished that this moment could last longer.

No, that's not right. She's destined to be an avenger, how can she indulge in such childish and fragile emotions?

"I... I went to draw lots."

Hastily pulling her hand back, Mei hurried towards the office.

"Huh? What's wrong with Mei- senpai?"

Kiana scratched her head, completely bewildered.

"I don't know." Shi Hen glanced at the three little ones who had also finished their prayers and said, "Let's go draw lots too."

Mei's reaction shows that his bond training has been quite successful.

Well, it was worth it for him to teach Mei how to cook, which helped them get closer.

Keep up the good work!

The boy was full of confidence in himself.

"Oh."

Nodding, the white-haired girl was puzzled but did not refuse.

On the other side, Seele and the others, who had been watching this side closely, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Kiana, you idiot, did you even notice the threat Raiden Mei was threatening?!

Chapter 126 The Shrine Chief Priest's Invitation

After the little incident during the shrine visit, Mei seemed a bit more aloof, and the lottery process went smoothly without any setbacks.

"Let me see what you all drew!" As soon as Shi Hen and the others finished exchanging their fortune slips with the Miko, Kiana immediately rushed over, waving her slip of paper with a face full of joy. "Mine is Great Blessing! Great Blessing!"

As the only person present with European ancestry, the white-haired girl was indeed a true European.

"..."

Shi Hen silently showed her the note.

"Big... Great Misfortune?"

Kiana, who skipped over the poems she couldn't understand and went straight to the point, was immediately bewildered.

Even she understood that drawing the Great Misfortune was not a good omen.

"What did Mei draw?"

Shi Hen could only look at Mei.

"Ha, it's just a human superstition."

Mei looked cold and arrogant.

Oh, this is also an African.

The boy immediately understood.

"And you guys? What did you all get?"

Shi Hen asked the three little ones who were walking towards him.

"Mine is auspicious."

With a smile, Seele replied, clearly having no objection to the result.

"Zhongji."

Bronya remained concise and to the point.

"I, the great one, only have Lesser Blessing!?"

Xing looked indignant.

She felt that she should be the one with the best Great Blessing.

Touching his chin, Shi Hen pondered as he looked at the shrine Miko on duty at the office.

He felt that the Inari God was somewhat disrespecting him.

This is his shrine!

"If you draw an unfavorable fortune slip, you can hang it on the tree over there, Lord God will remove the calamity for you."

Feeling a little uneasy under the boy's gaze, the Miko quickly explained with a smile.

"I'll go! I'm lucky, so I can share the luck with you guys." Kiana raised her hand and snatched the fortune slips from Shi Hen and Mei, wrapped them in her own slip, tied it to the tree, and then clapped her hands with a smug look on her face. "That way, everyone's luck will be the same."

Miss Kiana silently gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

"Fool."

Mei pouted.

Luck isn't like water in a cup that can be mixed together to achieve perfect balance.

"But that's Kiana."

Shi Hen sighed as he offered his assistance from the sidelines.

As long as there's a piece of bread in its hand, this fluffy white-haired girl will never let anyone starve to death in front of it.

The so-called Kaslana Spirit is just that naive, foolish, and dazzling.

In Setsuna, the air suddenly became quiet, and the breathing of the surrounding crowd also slowed down abruptly.
