"There's no need for tea. Where is your Lord Palace Secretary?"

Still drinking tea?

If he remembered correctly, the last time Yae Shenzi received him, he put a pill in the tea so carelessly and put it in front of him without even waiting for it to completely dissolve.

Tsk tsk, who knows if Kuki Yuki has been personally passed down by Yae Shenzi and done similar things?

"Unfortunately, Mr. Palace Secretary happens to be...not at home. If you have anything, you can tell me."

Kuki Yuki originally wanted to say that Yae Shenzi was at the castle tower, but she thought that Shiro was most likely just coming from the castle tower, and saying this would make it appear that she was lying, so she changed her story temporarily.

"If it's about other things, it's okay to talk to you, but what I want to talk about is not something someone of your level can take charge of."

Playing with Zaoyou's big tail in his hand, Bai Luo said aloud.

If Kukiyuki's mission is to delay as much time as possible, then Shiro's mission is to gain as much time as possible.

But he couldn't make this intention too obvious.

It would be best if Kuki Yuki felt that everything was under her control.

"Well......"

Seeing Bai Luo's resolute look, Jiu Qixing knew that the matter could not end so simply.

Because no matter how Bai Luo looked at it, he was determined to see the Eightfold Divine Son.

"So when can she come back?"

The hand stroking Hayao's big tail paused slightly, Shiro looked at Kuki Yuki who had begun to sweat on his forehead, and asked aloud.

Although he didn't do anything to force him, Kuki Yuki felt as if a big mountain was weighing on his heart, and it became a little difficult to breathe.

Especially when the opponent stops moving.

Usually when they see the pilgrims seeing the palace minister lying on the ground shivering, they will laugh in their hearts.

Now she finally understood how those people felt when they saw Lord Gong Si.

"Well... I'm really not sure. When Miyaji-sama left, he didn't say when he would come back. He just asked us to take good care of her... her shrine."

Despite the pressure Shiro put on him, Jiu Qixing spoke.

However, under the pressure exerted by the other party, she almost told the truth.

And it was this truth that almost blurted out that made Bai Luo narrow his eyes slightly.

"How about this, how about I temporarily stay at your place tonight? Do you have a guest room?"

After staring at Kuki Yuki for a while, Shiro's hand began to play with Hayato's big tail again.

And this action of his made Jiuqi Xing breathe a sigh of relief.

It's too torture.

"Staying here? Why don't you come back tomorrow, Mr. Bai Luo? Then the Palace Secretary will definitely receive you with the highest courtesy."

Living here? Not to mention Kuki Yuki would not agree, even if Yae Shenzi were here, he probably would not agree.

So without any hesitation, Kuki declined the request directly.

"Let's not talk about politeness or not. I'm in a hurry. What if the Thunderbolt General guarding the pavilion comes back to me and chases me and chops me? I'd better wait here."

Bai Luo waved his hand and said.

Kuki Yuki: "......"

He actually said these words in front of a miko who served General Raiden.

That was him. If it were another person, Kuki Yuki would have asked someone to drive him out with a broom.

"But... Narukami Taisha Shrine has no rules about letting outsiders stay overnight. Why don't you think about it again?"

What Kuki Yuki said is true.

At Narukami Taisha Shrine, all worshipers will be invited down the mountain at a certain time, and they will never stay overnight.

How could she...

"That's because I didn't come. If I had come, it would have happened long ago."

Bai Luo said matter-of-factly.

But as he said, if he insists on living here, there is really nothing Kuki Yuki can do to him.

Let alone Kuki Yuki, even if Yae Shenzi comes over, we can only arrange a place for him as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll let someone make arrangements right now."

After sighing, Kuki Shinobi said.

It seemed like she was very unwilling, but actually she was quite happy inside.

When she said those words before, she didn't really mean to invite Bai Luo down the mountain.

Just like bargaining for groceries, if she told Bai Luo directly that she could let him stay at the shrine tonight, maybe he would go the extra mile and choose to see Mr. Gongji now.

But if she had asked Bai Luo to go down the mountain from the beginning, and then expressed her embarrassment that she could not let him live in the shrine, then he would most likely choose to stay in the shrine.

Although it was not a good idea, it was able to delay him and buy the Lord Palace Secretary a lot of time.

She had learned this kind of speaking technique from Yae Shenzi a long time ago, and she never thought that it would be used in such a place.

"Little raccoon cat, don't sleep anymore, it's time to go."

Bai Luo smiled mysteriously, patted Zaoyou's back gently, and said aloud.

Originally, Kukiyuki thought that Hayao would be furious after being treated like this and complain.

Unexpectedly, after Zaoyu got up sleepily, she just yawned, then turned her back to Bai Luo and lowered her head.

And Bai Luo mentioned her very naturally and planned to leave with Jiuqi Xing.

"She...you want to take her with you too?"

After looking at Hayou who had changed into a comfortable position and continued sleeping after being slipped into Bai Luoti's hands, Kuki Yuki asked uncertainly.

"I am his hostage, so of course I have to go with him."

Before Bai Luo spoke, Zaoyou opened his eyes and spoke confidently.

Maybe this is the first time she has been so arrogant at Narukami Taisha Shrine?

"You heard it, do you want me to explain it again?"

Shaking the Zaoyou in his hand, Bai Luo said matter-of-factly.

In response, Kuki Yuki could only respond with a helpless smile and took the two of them to a room near the living room.

"Because of the festival, the shrine cooperates with the people who worship the shrine. The rooms here are accommodations for those who come here. If Mr. Bai Luo doesn't dislike it, you can stay here temporarily tonight."

After pushing open the door of the room, Kuki Yuki introduced.

Although there are shrine maidens arranged by Narukami Taisha Shrine within the shrine, those few shrine maidens cannot handle all matters, so these rooms are prepared.

Moreover, sometimes when the hostess and the palace minister are discussing matters, and it is inconvenient to go back late, they will arrange to rest here.

Therefore, even if no one lives in it, this room is often cleaned.

"That's pretty good. After your Lord Palace Master comes back, please remember to inform me as soon as possible."

After looking at the situation in the room, Bai Luo nodded and said.

In his eyes, even a Qiuqiu people's thatched house is considered a pretty good place to live.

What's more, this is the room where adults usually stay?

After sending Kuki Yuki away, Shiro looked at Zaoyu who fell asleep again and looked out the door.
