Chapter 345

If it were that moment,

If there is a slight overlap,

You and I will meet completely different fates, right?

······

I want to be with you so much,

To welcome the same future,

How I wish we could be in the same place,

Staring at the same stars,

The future you describe,

Do I also exist?

I wish I had the same feeling,

Looking up at the same sky——"

(Naruto the Movie: The Lost Tower theme song "if" is a very nice and flavorful song.)

In the darkness, Koenji Rokusuke seemed to hear a gentle female voice, singing softly in his ear. The voice was so pleasant that it gave him the illusion of returning to the gentle embrace of his mother when he was a child.

Yes, he knew that this was an illusion, and he gradually recalled the previous events in his mind. Because of his broken love, he traveled to the mountains, got lost, and finally tripped on a stone that determined his fate, and fainted helplessly.

However, before he fainted, he seemed to see a beautiful girl wearing witch hair. Could it be that he was already dead?

Is that beautiful witch the messenger who leads me to heaven?

Koenji Rokusuke gradually regained control of his body amid his wild thoughts——

"Huh? A ballad?"

The first thing that could move was Koenji Rokusuke's mouth. After it regained its ability, it followed the feelings in its mind and spoke out the questions in its heart:

"what happened?"

"I heard a very gentle voice——"

"I just thought I've heard my mother's voice a long time ago?"

"ah--"

At this time, a beautiful miko with her back to Koenji Rokusuke lying in the shrine also noticed a strange voice coming from behind. She suddenly turned around in surprise and looked at Koenji Rokusuke lying there. First she was surprised, and then He said worriedly in a gentle voice:

"Are you up?"

"Ah——, it hurts!"

After Koenji Rokusuke opened his eyes, he subconsciously jumped up. However, because he rolled down the mountain wave before, he suffered minor or serious injuries in many places on his body. When he was touched, he immediately let out a cry of pain.

But Koenji Rokusuke was not in the mood to pay attention to the pain on his body at the moment. What made him more concerned was the extremely beautiful and youthful purple-haired miko sitting next to him with a paper fan in his hand.

The other party seems to be the miko he saw when he fainted, right?

Could it be that this is the kingdom of heaven?

No, it won’t hurt so much if you die! But if it wasn't heaven, how could such a lovely and beautiful girl show such a gentle smile to him?

"It's best not to make such big moves suddenly——"

The beautiful miko's face was flushed, and her white skin looked flawless under the sunlight. She looked at the pained Koenji Rokusuke with a half-shy, half-worried look on her face, and warned her. :

"It's been two days since I brought you here."

"It must have consumed a lot of energy—"

"You still need to get adequate rest."

"Um--"

The miko lady's voice was very soft and sweet, but it had a magical power that made people obey involuntarily. Koenji Rokusuke subconsciously nodded in agreement, but soon remembered his current situation and asked quickly:

"Miss Miko, how did I get here? Did you save me?"

"I met you when I was picking wild vegetables in the wild——"

The miko lady said with a healing smile on her face:

"When I found you, you had already fainted on the ground covered with injuries, so I had to bring you back for treatment."

"That really puts you in a lot of trouble..."

Koenji Rokusuke immediately realized that it was this beautiful miko who had saved him from being so handsome. Fortunately, he met her, otherwise he might really go to heaven.

But because of his shy personality, Kogenji Rokusuke twisted his face unnaturally, looked at the beautiful miko with evasive eyes, and said:

"Well, thank you for your help."

"Ahh——"

Hearing that Koenji Rokusuke didn't know what to call him, the miko lady blushed and let out a small exclamation, then apologized:

"I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"I am the shrine maiden of this shrine, my name is Hieda Fumio——"

After the beautiful miko lady finished saying her name, she sat down and bowed, then raised her head and revealed a bright smile that instantly lost Koenji Rokusuke's mind, and whispered:

"Welcome to Kuzuoki Village, Lord Divine Envoy——"

"I welcome you from the bottom of my heart, my lord!"

"Oops--"

Koenji Rokusuke's heart forgot to beat for a second, and then he felt an electric shock that made his brain tremble.

"It's a heart-pounding feeling!"

"No, what the hell is my heartbeat!"

Koenji Rokusuke quickly remembered the ugly mocking smile of the woman who teased and dumped him before, and kept warning himself in his heart:

"Remember-"
