Chapter 120: Feed Xiaoji

Yoshiyuki feels that both Erina and his own ideas are very dangerous.

Fortunately, Erina has never been able to concentrate for long outside of playing games, watching anime, and casting spells.

She did not continue to talk about this embarrassing topic, but began to look into the fountain curiously.

In the clear water of the fountain pool, there are many goldfish swimming, and there are also pieces of cherry blossoms that have fallen from the mountains.

Moreover, I didn't notice it when I came here before - there were several coins of different denominations at the bottom of the pool.

There were one-yen and five-yen coins that no one would pick up if they fell on the ground, and there were also fifty and one-hundred-yen coins.

There are also five-hundred-yuan coins, but they are very few. The only one who can't see ten yen.

This pool has the most five-yen coins. Because in Japanese pronunciation, five yen is the same as "fate", so it is very auspicious. People are most willing to choose this amount when praying.

The homophony of fifty yen means fivefold fate.

The homophony of one hundred yen means one hundred shares of fate.

But after all, it costs more to throw these coins, and the word "Yuan" can often mean everything, so the five-yen option is still the most popular.

Few people vote for 500-yuan coins. It’s simply a matter of cost-effectiveness. If the single expenditure is too high, there is no need.

As for why there are no ten yen in this fountain pool, it is because the homophone of ten yen is "away from fate".

Naturally, no one would throw in a ten-yen coin. That's like spending money to buy bad luck.

Yoshiyuki looked at the pool of water that shimmered slightly because of the coins, and couldn't help but ask this question.

"Xiaoji, is this the wishing pool?"

Demon Sword Girl shook her head first, and then nodded.

"Oh! I understand." Erina said confidently: "It seems to be a wishing well that is not that effective. So it counts as a wishing well, but not completely. It's like saying that Yoshiyuki is also a transvestite now, but still not completely."

"That's enough, Miss. Stop hinting at my women's clothing! I will never be able to wear it in my life." Yoshiyuki complained half-annoyedly, and then asked Xiang Xiaoji: "Little Demon Sword, why are you shaking your head and nodding your head again?" ?”

[Because it was not originally a wishing fountain, but soon after the school was established, students began to throw coins into it to pray for good luck from God. Gradually everyone did so]

"I see." Yoshiyuki nodded and continued to ask, "So is this wishing pool actually effective?"

【have no idea】

Xiao Ji gave a very honest answer.

"That's it." Erina's tone was still a little confusing: "Xiaoji, you said you prayed to heaven for good luck, rather than to a specific god? I thought Sakura God Hatsuyuki was so close, everyone would pray to her. .”

Xiao Ji nodded.

Just when Yoshiyuki was wondering what she meant, Demon Sword Girl quickly lowered her head to write and then raised her notebook.

[If you want to pray to Sakura God, you can go directly to Hatsuyuki Shrine. 】

"So that's it." Yoshiyuki sighed in his heart that it would take more practice to guess Xiao Ji's thoughts. On the other hand, he carefully looked at the number of coins in the pool: "There are a lot of coins here. Let's give a rough estimate. There are more than three hundred pieces... Apparently there were none when I passed by yesterday."

"Is it because all the students have returned to school? So many people throw coins to pray for everything to go well in the new semester." Erina looked at the fat goldfish inside and became curious: "Huh? It suddenly occurred to me that these coins will eventually be Whose hands is it?"

Xiao Ji heard this and pointed at herself.

"Huh?! Gave it to you?" Yoshiyuki was a little surprised: "I thought it was turned into public funds such as student union funds."

Xiaoji tilted her head slightly.

Immediately, after writing quickly, he raised the notebook.

[The chairman asked me to help clean the coins in the wishing pool and feed the fish. In return, all the coins I got were given to me as pocket money. Yesterday, I put the coins I caught on the balcony to dry, and then came here to wait for my parents. 】

"So..." Yoshiyuki held his chin and couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "Tossing coins here is equivalent to feeding Xiaoji."

"Oh! Indeed." Erina said excitedly: "Maybe this is the true intention of some people throwing coins! For example, those who threw 500 yen!"

Yoshiyuki imagined the scene where everyone would throw change in there every day, and then Xiaoji would come to collect coins regularly and be fed, and thought it was so cute.

This is civilized feeding in the truest sense. You don’t have to worry about feeding the other person something bad.

To a certain extent, Xiao Ji is a bit like a pet raised by all teachers and students.

Everyone would give some change from time to time and let her buy whatever she wanted to eat.

It's so loving.

"Seeing these goldfish that are so fat that they can swallow coins reminds me of that black and white cat... I feel like it will be its favorite food." Yoshiyuki turned to look at Demon Sword Girl and mentioned this matter: "It was me yesterday The half black and half white cat I saw on the ramp seems to have transformed into a cat lady today, hanging upside down outside my classroom window. What impression do you have of it?"

As expected, Demon Sword Girl nodded.

She quickly drew the two forms of the black and white cat on her notebook, added text, and showed it to the two of them: [Is this it? 】

"Wow... the painting is great! It's exactly the same! Not only is Xiao Ji good at origami, but she's also a great touch." Yoshiyuki couldn't help but express his admiration: "Unlike your mother, she has no artistic skills at all."

"Hey! Why are you just talking about me! Servant, you're not any better than me, okay?" Erina shouted dissatisfied: "Let me tell you, what's your strength in art?"

"There are too many examples. For example, I can draw eggs like Leonardo da Vinci, but Miss, you can only draw dumplings."

"What's the difference?!" Erina refused.

"The difference is huge, Master." Yi Xing explained patiently: "Drawing eggs is not as simple as you think. It involves whether perspective can be done well. How else could Leonardo da Vinci continue to practice until he vomited? And The dumpling you drew has no technical content. It is just a flat oval with two vertical lines for eyes. Even a kindergarten kid can do it."

"Tch... mine is just a simple style!" Erina said harshly: "Anyway, this doesn't count! Give me another example!"

"I can make clay sculptures of Ultraman and monsters, but Miss, you can only make dough sculptures that require no brain at all... Oh, and the Armstrong Spin Jet Armstrong Cannon."

"Hmph, you're wrong! It's clearly the Armstrong cyclotron jet Armstrong cannon! And this doesn't count!"

"Miss, aren't you lying? It doesn't count."

"I won't listen, I won't listen! Anyway, even though I'm a little bit bad at art, I'm great at singing and dancing!"

"It's normal for a professional miko to do these two things well! These are the basic requirements!"
