While Gu Yun taught the two female paper figurines some tips on magic, Natsume Reiko brought Sora to Kumamoto Prefecture.
Kumamoto Prefecture is located in the center of Kyushu Island in Japan. The two women took a sacred chariot to cross the sea and went straight to Hitoyoshi Ichida Town where Natsume Rena lived.
Well, remote countryside within the countryside.
Natsume Rena's life is not good. She is still a single mother, and she brings her little Shiki here to make a living.
Although because of the secret help of the Iijima family, Reina did not die young like in the original work, leaving Natsume Shiki as an orphan, and then took turns sending samples to relatives.
But even so, Reina's stubbornness still made it difficult to implement the Iijima family's work.
"I've never seen your girl before, right?"
"never seen it."
Reiko shook her head and said: "When Reina was born, Sora, you were still under the care of the previous generation water miko."
"Ah, that guy is indeed super stubborn."
Sora is talking about Miyoko's mother, a very traditional and cold witch who can't tolerate sand in her eyes.
And when she was in charge, Reiko couldn't sneak into the Mizuchi house.
It wasn't until the woman passed away due to the curse of water and sky, and Miyoko succeeded as the water miko, that the illusory ban was lifted.
But at that time, Reiko and Reina had a lot of conflicts.
The breakdown of the relationship between mother and daughter also became the reason why Reiko made up her mind to go to the other world.
"Now that I think about it, I was really unqualified when I was young."
Reiko smiled bitterly and said, "He actually went directly to the afterlife because of a quarrel with his daughter."
Every time she thought about it, Reiko felt regretful and wished she could give herself a few slaps to stop being so immature.
"You are so well protected by that snail guy."
Kong Huan pointed out Reiko's problem to the point.
Reiko in this world met Iijima Snail when she was very young. The old man was naturally very reliable. He not only taught Reiko magic, but also filled the vacancy in Reiko's heart.
The snail is like the father and brother Reiko has never had, allowing her to avoid many hardships while growing up.
This also makes Reiko far less stable than in the original work. Even after giving birth to Reina, the two of them are more like sisters than mother and daughter.
"And it's not a good time to go find her now."
"How to say?"
"Because of Shiki-chan."
Reiko had been gone earlier and later, but she appeared at this time. It was hard not to remind Reina of her true intentions.
Natsume Shiki's qualifications are far better than Reina's, and he is even better than his grandmother Reiko.
If we compare the people around Tani Yun, Natsume Shiki is actually much more powerful than Ritsu Iijima. Even if compared with Momoya, he is probably on par with him.
Such a talent would put him at the top level among human spiritual masters.
If you cultivate it well, there is a high probability that you can surpass the snail in the future and reach Reiko's original height.
"So, what's the contradiction here?"
Kong Huan held her forehead, and she found that Lingzi came to her. She was obviously the one who took the blame: "Let me guess, is it because your daughter doesn't want your grandson to come into contact with supernatural beings? If she sees you coming, not only will she not welcome you, , but you will feel wary.”
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Just ask for a solution?!"
Kong Huan felt that Reiko hadn't changed at all, she was still the same as before, so she ran over as soon as her mind got hot: "You didn't think about it, then why are you here?"
"How can mother and daughter have an overnight feud?"
"Hey, hey, it's not just the same night, it's been decades!"
Kong Huan didn't know how to complain. She said that Reiko's heart was really big. Where did this guy get the confidence to make his daughter forgive him.
"I feel like I'm going to suffer."
"Don't suffer, you can be smart, Tianhu!"
"Tianhu is not good at taking care of other people's housework!"
Sora wants to refuse, because there is no right or wrong in this matter, it is entirely Reiko's own fault.
"please!"
However, Reiko clasped her hands together without restraint and prayed: "Great Lord Inari, please grant my wish!"
"......."
Kong Huan looked at Reiko's actions and twitched his mouth slightly: "You, the great god of the underworld, made a wish to me, a mere fox fairy. Are you serious?"
"Master Huang Quan doesn't care about the safety of his family!"
"Then I'll take care of it..."
When the words came to his lips, Kong Huan was startled: "No, it seems that I really keep the house safe."
Kong Huan, who was unknowingly entangled by Reiko, glared at this guy fiercely, and then walked towards the house of Natsume's family that they had determined.
Natsume's mother and son live in a small mountain village. It is remote, has inconvenient transportation, and is mostly populated by elderly people.
The two women traveled all night, but they were tired.
As gods, they don't need to rest at all, and they don't get hungry or thirsty.
But it's just after dawn, and the sky is only dim. Kong Huan doesn't agree with visiting Rena at this time: "As a mother, if you cause trouble to her as soon as you get here, then you probably don't need to say what happens next."
"Well, it seems a little early."
There is no nightlife in the village, and the elderly go to bed early.
Around six o'clock, Reiko noticed the pedestrians on the side of the road. She glanced at Kong Huan standing beside her. The two women transformed into human women in a tacit understanding and stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, is Natsume's house nearby?"
Ogata's mother-in-law was cleaning the dust in front of the store with a broom when she suddenly heard a sound. The old man was startled subconsciously and turned around to find two young girls of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"so beautiful."
After blurting out subconsciously, Granny Ogata quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I said something strange."
"It doesn't matter."
Even though their appearance and temperament have been reduced, as gods, Kong Huan and Reiko's own beauty that is not like that of human women can no longer be completely concealed.
Reiko is better. After all, she was once a human being. With this template, at least there will be no suspicion.
It's unreal, the fox fairy is really too ridiculous in terms of appearance.
Coupled with this guy's inherent talent for charm, Granny Ogata fell into a trance when she first saw him.
"We are relatives of the Natsume family."
"Natsume's family?"
Mother-in-law Ogata quickly reacted: "It's Reina-chan, right?"
The village is not big, and most of the people living here know each other.
Mother-in-law Ogata also quickly noticed Reiko's appearance and was immediately surprised: "You and Reina-chan look really alike. Are you sisters from Reina's relatives?"
Reina is the child conceived by Reiko using the egg fruit on Riki.
Although it is described as 'fertility', in fact, Reiko has never been pregnant and is still a virgin.
It is precisely because of this that Rena and Reiko are very similar in appearance. People who are unfamiliar with them cannot tell the difference between them.
That is to say, Ogata's mother-in-law had been in contact with Reina for a long time, and only then could she notice the subtle differences between the two.
