It’s been three years since I came to Yokohama.

Thinking back on the huge changes that have been visible to the naked eye in Yokohama in the past three years, it makes people sigh.

The system will really give her problems. In the past three years, she has spared no effort to let Yokohama show its beautiful features. From investing a lot of money to cleaning up the cursed spirits every once in a while, Rai feels that she

I have done enough, but I have never been able to meet the requirements given by the system.

It’s really distressing. It would have been much easier if she had been asked to deal with some ‘enemies’ or save some Yiyuan before. Such troubles would be enough once.

[It’s really just this once...I promise...]

Ruby's voice sounded so guilty, "There will never be such a large-scale infrastructure construction task again in the future."

Remember what you said today...it's just this once, and it won't happen again.

Rai dressed herself up in the mirror. At this time, she was wearing the costume of a shrine maiden she wore when working at Yokohama Shrine. She was combing her long black hair slowly, thinking that this task would be over soon, and she couldn't help feeling brisk.

The ground hummed and sang.

【Speaking of which, what are you going to do?】

Although she was bound to Rai, Ruby could not easily detect the host's thoughts, so she was confused about Rai's relaxed expression as he was about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

I want to make the concept of "cursed spirits" completely disappear from the territory of Yokohama.

Rai tied up her black hair with sandalwood paper, and the smile on her face in the mirror revealed a hint of extreme madness.

【...Can this really be done? 】

Ruby was a little shocked and asked in surprise.

This is probably the only way to complete the task... If I can't do it, I have no other way.

Rai shrugged indifferently, and the mission could only be treated as a failure.

Lai is not too sure, she just has the consciousness to give it a try. Tonight, regardless of whether she succeeds or not, she does not intend to stay in this world any longer.

Whether this journey can come to a perfect end depends on this time.

——

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Ley."

The host of Yokohama Shrine nodded slightly to Rai with a respectful attitude. He was one of the few people who knew that this shrine maiden who came to work at the shrine was actually the big shot behind all this.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Rai bowed slightly to the host, "From now on, everything here will continue to be left to you."

"You're welcome, Miss Ley."

The monk in cassock looked at the solemn shrine with a compassionate smile, "I am very satisfied with everything here. It has allowed me to find an interpretation of the meaning of my life. I am very grateful."

"...By the way, Miss Ley, there is a guest waiting for you in this palace."

Remembering that there was something unexplained, the host said to Rai, with a distressed look on his face, "He is a very lively little donor, and his ideas are also a bit weird, because I heard that he is your friend, and I don't think much about it either."

So that he can be driven away, please go over and persuade him, Miss Ley, the cantilever beams in the main hall must not be used for hanging, that is disrespectful to the gods..."

Hearing what he said, Rai instantly understood who the lively donor was. She said helplessly: "Really, just find something for me to do..."

The splendid main shrine is the residence of the gods. There is placed a huge statue of the god made by human beings who expressed their fantasies about Aruba. This is the most sacred place of the shrine. Outsiders are generally prohibited from entering. The host also heard about the trespassing person.

The person who came knew Lai, so it was not easy to take strong action to drive them away, so we could only leave it to Lai to solve the problem.

"Are you coming to join the religion?"

Rai walked into the main hall and gave an intriguing greeting to a young man who was paying homage to the statue.

"People's imagination is really rich."

Dazai Osamu turned around, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "The real Arabato would never be so tall. Let me think about it... If the lower body is cut off, the height ratio should be about the same."

Lai's eyes fell on the several-meter-high gold-bronze giant statue that needed to be looked up at. Its image was compared with that of Zhongyuan. It cannot be said that it is exactly the same. It can only be said that it has no connection. After all, this image cannot be called

'people'.

...Also, in people's imagination, the god Huang Ba Tu can't escape from the burly image with three eyes and six arms.

"You can go talk to Chuuya yourself about this."

Rai didn't say much and went straight to the topic, "What are you doing here?"

"Because it's a bit boring..."

In fact, Dazai Osamu always had a very subtle premonition these days. He was eager to confirm something, "You said you would be responsible for me, so is it okay for me to come to you anytime?"

"Not today."

Faced with the invitation he sent, Rai refused, "I have something to do."

"Are you busy leaving?"

Dazai Osamu's skin turned pale again, and the look on his face instantly turned cold, "You want to leave, right?"

Rai tilted his head strangely, "Did you figure this out with your long brain?"

She didn't deny it...

Dark clouds began to gather in Osamu Dazai's eyes, "There has been a secret transfer of the Mori Group's equity... Do you know where I learned about this?"

"I guess my cheap adoptive father revealed it to you on purpose."

Rai covered his head with a headache, "It seems that he still resents me for giving up my job."

"Are you like this to everyone?"

When Mori Ogai told him these things, Osamu Dazai, who had some inexplicable expectations for life, felt annoyed that he had been teased, "gentle and ruthless...a despicable person who deceives others."

"Hey, hey, I don't want to be accused like this by you."

Ley doesn't mind others being biased against him, but he's not willing to put his head on the wrong side of things. "How was I despicable, and what did I deceive you about?"

"You told me the cruel truth about the world, but you just wanted to leave without giving me time to digest it. You are despicable and shameless."

Osamu Dazai, who was hailed by everyone in Hong Kong and Black as "the most opaque man", was like a kindergarten kid who couldn't get candy and started to cry and curse at others. He denounced Rai for being ruthless towards him, "Obviously

Those who promised to be responsible for me, and those who promised to stay with me, didn't they say they wanted to solve the 'trouble' on me? What does it mean to leave now?"

Rai seemed to hear a lonely and helpless little boy begging her not to leave with tears streaming down his face. He was saying——

'Please, don't leave me.'

It was clear that Dazai Osamu looked gloomy and wanted to kill her, but Rai felt that she was crying.

"Dazai, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, but actually I... don't belong to this world."

Osamu Dazai covered his ears, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to hear anything that comes out of your mouth - the things you are hiding."

He had already endured it once. What came out of this callous woman's mouth were cruel truths that he could not accept. He did not want to listen.

"Come with me."

Rai took Dazai Osamu's hand that was covering his ears. Fortunately, the other person's physique was also in the slender and weak category. Rai didn't need to rely on telekinesis to be able to pull him. She held Dazai Osamu's hand and walked a few meters away.

Behind the tall golden statue, there is a door. When you open the door, the light from outside comes in.

Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment, and a few stars fell into his eyes.

Standing in front of the two of them was a glowing tree. This was a weeping cherry tree, but it was different from the cherry blossom trees outside. The flowers glowed with pure white light. It was obviously not in the flowering period, but this tree was blooming vigorously.

The tree is about 10 meters tall. The tree is planted indoors and is surrounded by a generally accessible corridor, but the ceiling above is opened and soft moonlight shines in from above.

Taking the whole tree into view, this inexplicably blooming cherry blossom tree is like a big luminous umbrella, which can gently include the people staying under the tree and protect them from wind and rain.

Dazai Osamu felt the strong and everlasting vitality from this weeping cherry tree. It was like the tree spirit in Western mythology shining into reality. Dazai Osamu couldn't help but want to get closer. This tree exuded

The energy that comes out is very gentle...and very familiar.

"...you did it?"

Osamu Dazai, who had the curse on his body exorcised by Rai, could personally feel that the energy emitted by the tree itself was in the same vein as that of the girl. "This is the shrine...the real divine object."

The huge golden statue outside was just a decoration. Osamu Dazai understood instantly, "So, is this the purpose of building this shrine?"

"This tree can only be summed up in it, it does not contain all the meaning."

Looking at the weeping cherry blossoms, the tenderness in Lai's eyes was like that of a mother who was pleased to witness her child growing up and bearing perfect fruits, "In the beginning, it was just a small sapling no more than my waist.

Nutrient is my spiritual power..."

[lv7 Spiritual Growth Tree] - It can use its own spiritual power to promote the growth of plants. Plants irrigated by spiritual power have a certain chance of being stimulated to become intelligent. At that time, it will automatically possess a soul.

Produce spiritual power and expel evil.

Using this spiritual control technique, the plants watered by Rai with spiritual power have become natural spiritual objects. They are different from ordinary plants. In addition to being unable to speak, they are actually the same as Fu Mang who has half stepped into the divine world.

God-like.

Ley walked under the tree, stretched out his hand and gently touched the rough surface of the tree stump. The weak flowers fell. There was no wind, but the willow-like branches gently floated to Ley's face. It was as if he had found what his mother wanted.

Like a child who wants to be close to him, use branches and flowers that can express language to tell Ley how happy he is to see her.

"I named this tree - Noah."
