Chapter 158: Three Crows
Erina and Sakurayuki had a very good chat.
As expected, mikos have a lot in common.
Since Yusuke has already laid the foundation for a relationship, and Yoshiyuki has become her adoptive brother (sister), Erina can naturally explore and ask some sensitive topics that may make her more concerned.
This question is inconvenient to ask from the perspective of an ordinary friend. You must be familiar with it before you can ask it. Otherwise it would be rude.
That is, judging from Yingxue's self-introduction, does she only have one set of regular clothes?
Regarding this question, Yingxue smiled and answered that it was indeed the case.
In addition to cotton-padded clothes, she only has one set of regular clothes.
I originally planned to wear it, but my shirt accidentally got a cut in the morning and I didn't have time to sew it, so I had to give up.
In fact, she also considered wearing summer clothes from junior high school.
But I always felt that wearing a junior high school uniform in high school was a bit rude, so I didn’t do it.
Yi Xing felt very understanding after hearing this.
Reporting to high school is actually like becoming a high school student. Be a part of this high school.
According to common sense in Japan, it is very inappropriate to wear a junior high school uniform at this time. It will give people the feeling that you do not want to integrate into the group and have unclear identity.
In contrast, wearing a miko uniform is fine. Especially if you are really a miko, it is natural to temporarily wear professional clothes and enter school before there is no school uniform.
Sakurajima Academy, like other Japanese schools, has two types of uniforms: summer uniforms and winter uniforms.
Summer clothes are short-sleeved and made of light material.
Winter clothes are long-sleeved and made of thicker material.
Boys' summer clothing consists of shorts and winter clothing consists of trousers.
Girls' bottoms are all short skirts, and winter clothes are just thicker.
Some schools will also distribute autumn clothes.
That one is also long-sleeved, just a little thinner than the winter coat.
From late autumn to late spring, wear autumn clothes.
From early summer to early autumn, wear winter clothes.
So in fact, the summer clothes and winter clothes in Japanese schools are the same as the summer clothes, spring and autumn clothes in Chinese schools.
After hearing Yingxue say that she really only had one set of regular clothes, Erina felt a little puzzled and asked her why she didn't buy more.
After all, those bargain stores often have clothing on clearance. It’s even cheaper to buy out-of-season clothes and outdated styles.
Regarding this issue, the reasons given by Sakura Snow Chiai are also very convincing.
That is, the clothes on clearance sale are not really unaffordable.
It's just that I don't have much use for it.
In the past year, they have only been worn once by high school freshmen on the reporting day.
After all, as long as you don't mind other people's eyes, you can go shopping in a miko costume.
Besides, she usually doesn't leave the shrine very often. So I wear a miko costume almost all the time.
This made Erina immediately become interested in how many miko uniforms Sakurayuki had.
Yingxue's explanation is that because the miko uniforms need to be worn daily and kept clean at all times, they must be changed immediately when they are accidentally torn and soiled and cannot receive guests, so there are more than a dozen sets of different styles and thicknesses. . Suitable for all seasons.
These miko costumes only cost fabric money, and the subsequent sewing was done by herself and her mother.
"Huh? That's amazing!" After hearing this, Erina expressed admiration: "Such a beautiful miko uniform, actually made by one's own hands? She is even better at needlework than Yoshiyuki!"
"Yes." Yoshiyuki looked at the beautiful clothes on Qian Ai's body and admitted, "I'm really ashamed of myself for doing such a good job."
"Thank you for the compliment! Well, Maekawa, if you want to learn, I can teach you at any time?" Chiai Sakurayuki said, looking a little embarrassed: "But in fact, I can only sew miko uniforms and foot bags."
"Okay. If you have time, I will come and learn." Yoshiyuki expressed his thanks: "When the time comes, I will make a beautiful miko costume for the eldest lady."
"Then I'm looking forward to it, okay?" Erina rubbed her hands excitedly: "I want one with a lot of dumpling patterns on it!"
"No, you also need to have dango in your miko uniform, right?"
"Humph, just say it, okay?"
"Okay, okay! I'll do it for you."
"Oh~!"
At this time, Xiao Ji raised her notebook.
It says: [Where is mine? 】
With his daughter looking at him with such expectant eyes, how could Yoshiyuki have the heart to refuse?
Therefore, of course I agreed immediately.
"Okay, do it for Xiaoji too."
"Why don't you do it for your sister?" Yingxue Qianai pointed at herself and asked expectantly.
Since it was Yingxue who taught him, of course his sworn sister cannot be left out.
Therefore, righteous conduct is of course also one word: "Do it! Do it all! Everyone has it!"
"Okay!" Erina cheered: "My servant now owes three sets of miko uniforms!"
"Wait, I haven't started learning yet! How can it be considered a debt!"
"Hmph...just calculate the interest based on three crows!" Erina said with a smile: "Calculate if you want to give one more by rounding up!"
"Are you a devil?!"
Yingxue Qianai was still confused when she heard this word.
Seeing that she seemed to want to ask what "Three Crows" meant, Yoshiyuki was the first to answer.
"Sister Yingxue, the so-called three crows is a slang term for lending. One crow means that when the crow crows in the morning, the interest will increase by 10%. And three crows is equivalent to 30% of the interest per day. I borrowed for a hundred days today. Yuan, you have to pay back 130 yuan tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, you have to add 30% to the 130 yuan. It’s quite vicious.”
"Yes." Erina nodded seriously: "The Yida family strictly prohibits such vampire loans. Because it is too inhumane."
"So it turns out that this is such a terrible loan shark. It's basically forcing people to die..."
When Yingxue said this, her tone paused, and she was silent for a moment as if recalling what she had just heard.
Then, he showed a happy expression, raised his arms slightly in front of his chest, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Ah, Maekawa finally called me sister! I'm so happy~"
Damn it, isn’t there nothing I can do if I don’t scream?
Yi Xing sighed in his heart.
After all, she is already recognized as my sister... I might as well just keep being her sister!
At least, she still calls me brother in front of others!
Because the Dango Miko uniform was just mentioned, Erina began to sigh with emotion, saying that it would be great if there really was a Dango Miko.
"Ah, this..." Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment: "Do you mean, dumplings in witch costumes?"
"No! She is a shrine maiden who believes in the Dango God! As long as there is a Dango shrine maiden, I can make a wish for a real, living dango!" Erina rubbed the dango doll in her arms and said in an extremely excited tone: "When the time comes, I can hug it with my left hand. Holding the dumplings, holding Xiaoji with her right hand...I want to rua which rua, which one, I'm so excited!"
