The only male protagonist in variety comics

In addition to the indispensable shops such as canteens and small supermarkets, Omu Ran town also has people driving vans from time to time to sell vegetables, fruits and daily necessities that are not available in supermarkets. This small town There is even a shrine.

Of course, the town is just a very ordinary town, and the shrine is naturally a very ordinary shrine, which can even be said to be relatively simple. In addition to the place of worship, there is also the torii gate as a symbol of the shrine, indicating the difference between the divine realm and the human realm. , there is only one room for people to live in, and it is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests.

After all, the residents in the small town are not rich. The wealthy residents have long taken their relatives to the big cities to watch the ever-changing weather. However, the old people who stay in the small town are old and have inconvenient legs and feet, so they rarely go to the shrine. When visiting, children don’t really like the solemn atmosphere of the shrine. Even if they go up the mountain, they still play in the woods.

The so-called incense money, not to mention the maintenance of life, if it were not for the shrine abbot who would also do some handicrafts to supplement his family's income, and at the same time, during some major festivals where activities are held at the shrine, if he could get funds from residents, 597 would not be able to survive at all..

The life of the abbot of the shrine is not good. He is also an old man. A few years ago, he had a quarrel with his children because he suddenly adopted a girl. The children had expressed at that time that if the old man insisted on adopting a girl, If so, we will no longer provide living expenses to the elderly in the future.

His attitude was very tough, so tough that it was a bit chilling, but the old abbot did not give in and insisted on adopting the girl, thus cutting off contact with his children.

"Those incompetent guys don't come to see me, which is the best thing, and I feel upset when I look at them."

This is what the old abbot said.

Even though the old abbot would receive financial support from the irresponsible father of this girl who was considered an orphan by outsiders every once in a while. , but to be honest, the subsidy is not very generous. People in high positions never care too much about ordinary people's daily necessities. People who don't care about their family's financial expenses will not know that a child will be Raising an infant to adulthood is an unbearable expense for people without much income.

But the old abbot persevered. In addition to saving money in life,——

"This is the cicada I caught these days."

The girl adopted by the old abbot, Meei, the goddess with short brown hair and bright and cute big eyes, handed Yuki Rito a small bamboo cage carefully woven with bamboo strips. Yuuki

Rito played with it pretending to be happy. After a while, he took out two thousand yen and gave it to the goddess Meei.

"Well, I like it very much, and I agreed to give you money."

Seeing that Yuki Rito had repeated his behavior last time, Tiannu Meei pursed her lips.

"……Brother Yuki can obviously use the money to go to the canteen to eat, but he keeps buying cicadas from me. Is it worth it?"

Calculating carefully, Yuuki Rito has already bought the quantity, and keeping it at home will only give people a headache.

As for the name Yuuki brother, Tianmei doesn't know how old Yuuki Rito is. He doesn't go to school at all. When asked about his age on weekdays, the answer is always"As old as you are." However, he has always taken care of himself like an older brother. After discovering that Rito Yuki was not opposed to this, Tiannu Meei decided on this title.

"It's worth it, I think it's worth it."

Yuki Rito smiled and shook the bamboo cage in his hand, causing the cicada trapped in it to emit a distressed cry.

Butterflies in spring, cicadas in summer, wild fruits in autumn, and flowers in winter are the number in each season. There are not many animals and plants, but they are definitely not absent, and the goddess Meei who lives in this mountain shrine can often come into contact with them. Yuki Rito uses the excuse that he likes these things very much to spend thousands every few days. The Japanese yen were used to buy the trading items collected by Ameimei.

In order to allow Ameimei, whose living conditions were not very good, to have pocket money, and to relax her mind while catching butterflies and cicadas, and picking wild fruits and flowers.

As for the so-called pocket money, of course it is not real pocket money. In the small town of Okuzome, even Dr. Kasugano would not give Yuuki Rito thousands of yen every day. Well, even if Yuuki Rito really asked for it, , and he would never refuse.

The so-called pocket money comes from Rito Yuuki’s personal property. If it weren’t for various considerations, Rito Yuuki would even plan to directly give tens of millions of yen to the goddess Meei to let this person A heart-wrenching girl whose life is full of ups and downs but whose personality is gentle and cheerful lives the life of a young lady.

"……"

The goddess Meei stared blankly at Rito Yuuki's smile, breathed out softly, and also smiled.

"Yuki-nii, will you be free next?"

"Of course there is"

"So, should we catch cicadas together, hide and seek, or continue exploring in the forest?"

Facing those games that children like to play in Tennyo Meei, Yuki Rito's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face was a bit unnatural. He really didn't want to play such childish games anymore, and he felt very sad. Tired.

However, if Ame Meei would be happy about this, Yuki Rito would have no choice but to wrong himself. Back then, when the abbot who adopted Ame Meei and his children had a quarrel late at night, everyone thought that Ame Meei She had already fallen asleep in the room, but Tiannu Muei was not asleep. A guest suddenly came to the house and never left. Every child will be curious, and Tiannu Muei has been mentally mature than her peers since she was a child. , naturally she was even more curious, and her strong curiosity made her sleepless.

Then she heard the content of the argument,"If you don't send the child to the orphanage, we will no longer give you living expenses. Raising a burden is really asking for trouble!"Such as that, that was the first time that the goddess Meei cried, and the only time so far.

Yuki Rito, who had hidden his figure, just stood beside him, looking at the girl with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, When Yuki Rito, who thought that he would no longer be easily impulsive, wanted to show up and wipe away the tears of the goddess Meei, the girl wiped her tears herself, tried her best to smile, and stopped eavesdropping on the things that mattered to her. Quarrel over fate, huddled in the quilt to sleep, waiting for the next day's results.

Because her grandfather, the old abbot who adopted the goddess Muying, said that he hoped she would be a strong and good girl.

Because crying is not strong enough, and neither is eavesdropping. Good boy._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu
