Chapter 163: The Debtor Witch

"Hey~ why!" Yingxue Qianai begged with great disappointment: "Tell me!"

"No! This is for your own good! Because this knowledge is really disgusting! The more you know about these things, the easier it will be for you to become as stinky as the eldest lady! You will become more and more disdainful!"

"Hey, you have the nerve to accuse me!" Erina threw the dumpling towards Yoshiyuki and slapped him on the face: "I'm obviously very normal! It's you who likes to look at sexy pictures who are the most disdainful. Bar!"

"Don't say it casually!!!"

Yoshiyuki's heart sank, and his face became hot.

Xiaoji took away the dumpling at the right time and poked her father's face with her cold fingers, as if testing whether the temperature was enough to fry an egg.

"Hey? Maekawa likes to see these things?"

Yingxue didn't look surprised. Instead, she looked at Yoshiyuki very tenderly, tilted her head slightly, held the side of her face with one hand, and made a speech that warmed his heart.

"I think it's okay to watch some in moderation? Of course, if it's restricted, that's absolutely not allowed, right?"

Sister Yingxue... is so gentle!

It’s great to have a sister who understands me!

Of course, this touching moment was broken by Erina's ruthless complaints within a few minutes.

"No, no, Yoshiyuki must be able to see everything. As long as it's a white-haired girl, she'll accept anyone of any standard. She's super perverted."

"Huh? Is this really the case? No, Maekawa! That's not healthy!"

"Ah, that's enough!" Yi Xing shouted with a red face: "Let's talk about some normal topics!"

They chatted like this for another half hour or so. Until there was a knock on the door.

That was a rude man, shouting outside at the top of his lungs, claiming that he had something important to discuss and asking her to come out quickly.

Even before he met this person, Yoshiyuki had already frowned.

Such rude knocking and shouting is so rude.

In particular, the house he knocked on was the residence of a witch surrounded by a red fence, which is the domain of the gods. To be so disrespectful.

It is common sense to behave respectfully in a place like a shrine.

It's impossible for this guest not to know, so doing this is basically looking for trouble.

This reminded Yoshiyuki that Yingxue had said in the previous conversation that she still owed a lot of money to the violent group because of her mother's illness.

All that money was owed to buy medicines - they should have been ineffective against such severe terminal leukemia, but Yingshen used magic to amplify the effects of the drugs, allowing Yingxue's mother to survive for ten more years.

The cost of medicine for ten years is not a small amount of money. The violent group seemed to see that the Yingxue family had been guarding the shrine and would not leave, and that they had some income every day, which was very stable, so they were willing to continue to increase their borrowings and allow them to repay in installments.

Of course, interest is inevitable. Although it also falls into the category of loan sharking, it is far less outrageous than "a crow".

Yingxue now pays back a little every month. Although it is slow, the money will be paid back sooner or later.

As for the tuition for high school, it was paid by Director Shimizu.

She wanted to go to school, so she accepted the help. I originally thought about returning it to her slowly, but the chairman refused to accept it. The reason was that her parents had taken good care of her when the school was established, so how could she be charged tuition now.

In fact, Chairman Shimizu wanted to help her solve even living expenses and debts.

She had mentioned this proposal when Yingxue's mother was ill, but she had always been rejected.

In addition to Chairman Shimizu, another person who particularly wanted to help her solve her financial problems was Yusuke Yida.

But just like she declined Qingmizu Tamako, Yingxue naturally declined her senior's help.

They didn't even accept the plan they proposed - that is, the chairman or Yusuke would pay off the loan shark first, and then ask her to pay it back to them slowly. In this way, you can at least pay less interest. Nor will members of violent gangs come to collect money when money is tight, causing stress.

Because neither Yingxue nor her mother wanted to owe money to people close to them.

That would make it difficult for her to face each other, let alone get along with each other as equals.

Therefore, it's better to join a violent group that you don't have much contact with on weekdays.

Yoshiyuki understood her thoughts very well and admired her sincerely.

All in all, when Yoshiyuki heard that the person who knocked on the door was so rude, he thought it might be a collection. Maybe even take action. So, he decided to go to meet the guests with Yingxue so that he could support him.

However, Yingxue stopped him and said that she could handle it.

Since Yingxue Qianai said so, Yoshiyuki naturally stopped insisting.

Then, she said, "Excuse me for a moment," and left the table to receive the reception.

Within two minutes, she came back. There was a wry smile on that cute face.

It made Yi Xing want to take a photo of her and add the text "I'm so angry, but I still have to keep smiling."

There was no need for the two of them to ask what had just happened, Yingxue Qianai took the initiative to answer their questions with a helpless tone.

What I heard really made my blood pressure soar.

In the previous conversation, the two of them had heard that although there were not many guests at the shrine, normally they would throw coins when visiting the shrine, and most of them were five yen denominations. The sacred objects and fortune-telling items sold by the community office are very cheap, so the amount of money received by the Hatsuyuki Shrine for incense is really not much.

Even if occasionally a customer wants to directly approach her to donate more, they will be declined. Because she feels that the favor she owes will be difficult to repay.

Especially if you are a miko, you must pay more attention to your behavior, and you must not amass money for your own use in the name of the gods.

The guest I just mentioned is a kind person. I just want to donate, nothing else.

But like the one who just came, he has bad intentions.

They would take a wad of big bills and try to give it to Yingxue in the name of "renovating the shrine." Of course, you can't take it for nothing, you must accompany him to do something. Some even require monthly subscription. There are even more outrageous guys who want Yingxue to live in his house.

Occasionally, there will be people who claim to want to introduce her to "easy money-making jobs." Of course Yingxue understood what that meant, so it was impossible for her to agree.

All in all, facing these guys who are actually not qualified to be called guests, Sakurayuki Chiai is naturally very disgusted.

However, she had to maintain her miko demeanor and refuse politely but firmly.

Don't show anger or say anything too harsh. They cannot be driven away unless they use violence.

After listening to these speeches, Erina slammed the table angrily and yelled.

"Listen to me! What a miko's demeanor, to hell with it! If a bad guy like this comes again, just pick up the naginata and send the guests away!"

"I don't think it's possible." Yi Xing suppressed his anger and said, "It's too simple."

"Servant, why don't you tell me what to do? If you don't tell me, I'll punish you by dressing up as a woman!"

"Okay - Hey, Ji, don't block my mouth! That's cheating!"
