Chapter 490 Return Gifts and Happiness



Time cannot flow in the small world.

While sitting on the stone slab by the lake, Yae Rina put her head on her hands and looked at the maple forest as red as ever, feeling a little bored for a moment.

What should I do?

Manyo and his father had left Narukami Taisha Shrine and were now on their way home.

Yidou said that he had made an appointment to fight insects with his great rival, while Xiao Gong wanted to continue learning to make fireworks.

When spring comes, relatively fewer people come to the shrine to pray, but the Son of God still has no free time.

Rina's woodcarving study came to an end and the gifts were given out. In the end, she was the most boring.

How about...fly again?

The girl suddenly turned into a snow-white bird.

The little bird flew twice in the air above Narukami Grand Shrine, and then retreated into its own little world.

——There is no way, she really can't bear the strong smell.

Now that spring has arrived, the sacred cherry tree has swelled in an instant, just like the Ganoderma lucidum that was picked up and exposed to the sun for half a month before encountering water again.

——The cherry blossoms are blooming all over the trees. They are very beautiful and the smell is really strong.

Rina couldn't help it, her nose always felt itchy and she wanted to sneeze, but she held it back.

She thought about finding a place farthest away from the sacred cherry tree.

Then the next moment - she decided to fly directly to Maplehara Manyo's house without thinking.

His house is the farthest away from Narukami Taisha Shrine. When he stood in the yard and looked up, he couldn't even see the pink and purple color of the sacred cherry tree.

——Great, she likes it like this.

Rina turned into a human form, walked around the shrine's crowds, and finally opened a door.

She walked in, held the hem of Yae Kamiko's clothes, and announced loudly: "Miko, I'm leaving!"

"Oh?" Chuan Hu blinked, "Where are you going?"

"Go live at Manyo's house!" Rina opened her lake-blue eyes, almost impatient.

"Little girl, please be more reserved." The fox witch stretched out a finger and tapped the little monster's forehead with moderate force.

"It hurts..." Rina covered her forehead and looked at her, her eyes full of accusations.

"Rina-chan, if you're going to live in someone else's house, you have to ask other people's opinions, right?" Yae Kamiko narrowed her eyes.

"If you don't ask for permission in advance, you may be regarded as a wild bird that accidentally entered your home, and then you will be caught, skinned and cramped, boiled and eaten."

Yae Rina's eyes widened instantly.

"Really, really?"

"Then who knows." Yae Shenzi smiled.

Rina looked confused for a moment, "Then, forget it..."

There is nothing wrong with chatting in the small world through Magatama and Manyo.

Yae Shenzi shook his head, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

...Oh, poor little monster, because of his lack of brains, he never thought of asking for permission from his partners in advance in his own little world.

Silly.

……fair enough.

she thinks.

*

It was finally evening, and guessing that the time was almost up, Yae Rina couldn't wait to take out the magatama, inject the power of thunder element into it, and pull Maplehara Manyo into her own little world.

Unexpectedly, I actually got a gift in return from him.

"It's not as thoughtful as the gift Rina prepared, but... I hope you like it."

Rina Yae:!

Yae Rina took the box, feeling the heavy weight inside, and nodded hastily: "I like it!"

Maplehara Manyo laughed.

"You haven't opened it yet..."

Rina Yae opened it.

Contained in the gift box is an extraordinary-looking jewelry necklace.

Handicraft feathers made of special metal hang from it.

It is one long, and the tail end of the feather is dyed a slightly lighter blue than the surface of the lake.

Yae Rina:! ! !

This, isn't this a necklace made of her feathers? !

"It looks good!" The little monster's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't wait to put the necklace on his neck. "Did Wanyu make it himself?! It's still metal...it must have taken a lot of time."

Or is there anything that can't compare to Rina's feelings... Yae Rina thought that she couldn't make such beautiful metal jewelry.

She only knows how to carve wood and make knots, which is still considered a half-baked skill.

Rina felt ashamed.

But this emotion went away as quickly as it came, and she quickly focused on this beautiful necklace.

Rina likes pretty things.

She was a little clumsy and couldn't put on the necklace for a long time, so she leaned towards Maplehara Manyo and looked at him helplessly.

Maplehara Manyo sighed, looking a little helpless but very gentle: "Let me help you."

Put it on.

Rina fiddled with it twice and found that the God's Eye and Magatama she was wearing were mixed with the small feathers.

She felt bad.

Maplehara Manyo: "What's wrong?"

Yae Rina frowned: "I'm thinking it's time to move the Eye of God and Magatama to another position."

Maplehara Manyo was startled.

Magatama and the Eye of God were originally strung together on a rope around Yae Rina's neck.

The necklace composed of these two things hung around her neck like that, but he gave another one as a gift.

"Sorry, I didn't think it through well." Maplehara Manyo was a little annoyed, "I would have changed it to a bracelet if I had known."

She doesn't need to worry about these things.

But Rina Yae said: "No! I think the necklace is just fine!"

She stood on the stone steps and said proudly: "I want everyone who sees me to notice the little feathers on my neck at a glance!"

This is the first time she has received such a serious gift, so of course she has to show it off!

"As for the Eye of God and Magatama... just hang them on your waist!"

Or like Shenzi, make an earring... No, no, forget it, her ears don't seem to be able to hold such a big earring.

To be a monster, you must learn to be content (Little Bird's Deep Face.jpg).

Yae Rina thought that Maplehara Manyo was definitely his best friend.

This time, Rina talked about old times and told a lot about how she was left to learn from a carpenter by Yae Kamiko. She also introduced two other friends she knew——

Arataki Ito is carefree and a bit fierce-looking, but has a good personality and is willing to help others.

There is also Xiaogong, who is considerate and well-spoken.

"The gift I gave you, the wood used to make the box was cut by a bucket of wood for me." Yae Rina counted the help they provided to her, "And Xiaomiya, she has been encouraging me and accompanying me. We studied together for a while..."

Maplehara Manyo laughed: "It looks like Rina is having a great time."

"Yes, yes, you don't know, no one has ever played with me before!"

Rina used to be a bird, either flying high or nesting somewhere.

Freedom was freedom... but no one spoke to her except Shenzi, and her days were a bit too lonely.

And now, within a few years of her transformation, she had gained so much happiness.

--small theater--

Before she learned how to transform, Rina was a bird and was often bored to the point of looking for entertainment on her own.

As the chief minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Kamiko often disappears for months when he is busy. The little monster returns to his happy hometown and stands on a branch staring at the lake in a daze.

One night, the little bird stared at the bright moon reflected on the lake, and suddenly he wanted to fish for the moon reflected on the lake.

…Sure enough, there was nothing.

The lake was still in chaos, with ripples appearing in circles, turning the original mirror surface into wrinkles and uneven shapes. The moon began to distort, and so did the reflected moonlight.

After hearing this, Yae Shenzi was overjoyed. After barely returning to his normal expression, he rubbed the bird's feathers lovingly and said softly: "What a poor little guy."

Rina didn't feel sorry for herself.

Later she probably understood that perhaps what Shenzi wanted to express was——

What a poor little guy. Freedom also means endless loneliness.
