NOVEL WEB Chapter 1,113: Limited Edition Railway Bento
Even though it was a knockoff, Lingge still liked that sweatshirt.
Regarding Saya's apology of "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassing you", Lingge also said that she would never accept it.
Because she didn't feel any shame at all. He even said that it was very impressive that the knock-off products could do so well. It was really worth it to buy such good clothes for such a small amount of money.
Moreover, she enthusiastically asked Shaye to share the store link so that she could see if there was anything else she liked.
...Lingge was clearly aware of Saya's inferiority complex.
Understand that she feels embarrassed and ashamed.
But she gently guarded Saya's self-esteem without pointing it out.
Sayana's soul, which has been sensitive and fragile for a long time due to material scarcity, was hurt so violently for the first time.
...This is the first time to receive such gentle care.
After some time, it was already the autumnal equinox.
On the day of the autumnal equinox, Lingge invited Saya, Xuehua and Ashina to play in Yitian Village.
They set off in the early morning of the first day and took the train to Itsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture at noon.
After arriving at Itsuki City, you can change to a bus and arrive at Yita Village.
On this train, although the curtains were closed at the seats where the four of them were seated, they could not force the guests sitting next to them to do the same.
So Ashina huddled under her hooded cloak and extra covering of light-absorbing cloth. This way, even if the sun shines on her, she will be fine.
At noon, Ashina drank some Xuehua's blood and ate some fruits she brought to fill her stomach.
As for the Xue Hua trio, they had a limited edition railway bento specially provided for the train - each line has its own signature bento for sale. There are even railway fans who take trains everywhere just to eat this bento.
So, should we say whether they like trains or the lunch boxes sold on them?
Closer to home, this limited edition railway bento is made to look like a torii gate.
It is packed with colorful dishes: egg rolls, mushroom slices, beef covered in black sauce, roast chicken drizzled with mustard sauce, shredded seaweed, green peppers...
At this time, Saya would not have thought that two and a half years later, when she mentioned this box of bento while chatting with Erina and Yoshiyuki, the shrine maiden would pat her thigh and say, "This is the bento we ate when we eloped to Tokyo!" "
…
…
While eating a delicious bento (but Seuka rated it as more ornamental than practical, and the taste was too ordinary), Suzuka excitedly mentioned the Yomi Erina, the shrine maiden of the Underworld whom she admired.
While chatting, she also mentioned that Erina is good at carving masks, but for some reason she only makes devil masks.
This evil ghost mask is also divided into two types.
For example, every year on the spring and autumn equinoxes, Erina casts a spell on a special Noh mask that she made in advance, and then
The first type is the Noh mask, which is used to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
Every year before the spring and autumn equinoxes, she begins to carve this kind of mask, using a tree unique to Yitian Village.
On the days of the spring and autumnal equinoxes, the spirits must be possessed and blessed by the underworld witch. Then an auction is held on the same day or a few days later, and the high prices are sold to large families with strong financial resources.
The family that gets it will enshrine it in a shrine and use it to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings in various major ceremonies.
Then the fortune of the whole clan will improve and they will not be easily entangled by evil spirits.
The reason why it is so expensive is that this kind of nengmian can be used in major ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, and only two can be produced every year. Therefore, many famous families would rush to buy them and raise the prices very high.
Therefore, it is often sold for hundreds of millions of yen - perhaps this term is not very rigorous, because the so-called "hundreds of millions" is often thought to mean more than 100 million yen.
But the lowest transaction price for the prayer noodles made by Erina was 200 million yen. Last year, it was auctioned for a sky-high price of 800 million yuan. And the price has a tendency to gradually rise. This must be because the mask is indeed effective, so many people are attracted to buy it.
In addition, this Noh mask not only has special functions, but also has an extremely unique appearance.
An ordinary Noh Noodle looks like a human face that is hard to tell whether it is crying or smiling.
The Noh Noodles made by Erina look like evil demons with horns.
As for the second mask Erina is going to make, it is a mask that can add various abilities to the wearer. But using the power of the mask has side effects.
Sister Yoshiyuki has such a mask. Lingge was very envious of this.
"It seems like there will be an auction for blessing noodles today, meow~" Ling Ge excitedly patted the table with her paws: "I'm really looking forward to it, meow~ which family will get it, meow~"
"Compared to this, I'm more worried about a murder." Xuehua took a puff of his pipe and said seriously: "So many rich people came to Yitian Village to bid... It feels like something is about to happen. .”
"Yeah. Yeah." Shaye nodded approvingly.
"Hey, is it okay to ban smoking on the seats?" Ashina punched Xuehua's Naiko, grabbed the pipe, and said reproachfully.
