Lu Ban confirmed again and again that Amber's name was indeed not included in the mission.

So, he could send Amber to Wajima Taisha Shrine, wait for the shrine maidens to finish their election, and watch a ceremony.

But, is it really possible that Amber is not the new high priestess?

Lu Ban had confirmed the power of Amber. It was truly amazing that she could create a ray of sunshine in such a storm.

If she could become the chief priestess, then Kazushima would not have to worry about filth for a while.

Moreover, becoming the chief priestess would surely bring her wealth, glory, great power, and the admiration of thousands of people.

Amber can want whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants. She is above everyone else and is the most noble and honorable being in the world.

Even if she becomes the chief priestess, she should be able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing in spring and playing in the water in summer. Her life may not be easy, but at least she can have a lot of happiness.

"Is this mission really that simple..."

Lu Ban decided to deal with the invading Chosen One first.

Since he knew that the other party was not dead, the other party must know that Amber was not dead, so he chased him all the way and must have taken action.

Regardless of whether Amber wants to become the chief priestess or live a peaceful life somewhere else, Lu Ban must kill this intruder.

Early in the morning, Lu Ban and Amber took a boat to the dock. He did not reveal Amber's identity, but in this era of underdeveloped communications, these people would certainly not recognize Amber.

The pirates had quite a lot of savings, and Lu Ban had some money from the island. There were no hotels open to the public on Changfeng Island, only the post stations run by the community magistrate and the island magistrate, and ordinary people certainly could not stay there.

Without revealing his identity, Lu Ban could only find a fisherman's family, rent a house that they had previously used to store sundries, and buy some girls' clothes for Amber to change into.

"H-How is it?"

Amber turned around. She was wearing clothes that ordinary girls wore in this season. The fabric was slightly finer and less comfortable than silk or cotton. However, patterns such as hydrangeas were embroidered on the plain clothes as much as possible, making the wearer look more lively.

"Should I dress more modestly?"

Lu Ban held his chin in his hand and thought.

"???"

Amber didn't hear what she wanted to hear, and looked a little resentful.

"Otherwise it might attract other people's attention. After all, someone like you should be eye-catching enough on this island."

Lu Ban added.

"…Then I should wear a plain one?"

Amber looked at her clothes rack a little shyly.

Amber, who had never bought clothes before, bought a lot of them. Most of them were clothes for this season. Many of them had cute patterns, but due to her limited skills, the patterns were very simple.

It is said that during the ceremony to become the chief priestess, the daughter of God must wear a fairly formal white robe and scarlet hakama, a Chihaya with pine and crane patterns on the outside, a crown, and hold a sacred bell with fifteen bells, and dance under the gaze of the gods.

But Amber now feels that those things are very far away from her.

"Let's take this one now."

Lu Ban didn't let Amber change her clothes again. Her amber eyes were already eye-catching enough. If the invading Chosen Ones came to Changfeng Island, they would easily be able to find their location.

This is also Lu Ban’s plan.

Instead of dodging, it is better to fish with a straight hook and fish the other party out.

However, when the mission is completed, Lu Ban will return to his own world, leaving Amber alone.

So there was actually nothing Lu Ban could agree to what she said.

When I opened the door, there happened to be a cherry tree in the courtyard. This kind of trees can be seen almost everywhere in Kazushima, and the thickest one is at Kazushima Taisha Shrine. Behind the torii gate of the shrine is a towering tree, also known as the sacred cherry. Every spring, the petals of the sacred cherry will fall from the treetops to the entire island of Kazushima. The cherry blossoms fall slowly like raindrops, and the scene is amazing.

After living on Changfeng Island for three days, the two have gradually adapted to life on the island.

The fisherman's daughter was only five years old. She was wearing tattered clothes and was playing with a deflated ball in the yard.

"Your ball is deflated."

Lu Ban said seriously.

“It’s leaking…it’s leaking!”

The little girl repeated it.

"Can you read?"

"Can you read?"

The little girl repeated it again.

"As expected, the essence of human beings is to be repeaters. This can be seen from the human cubs."

Lu Ban stroked his chin and thought.

"Don't do this to a child."

Amber said, moving closer to the little girl and patting her head.

"Sister, can I play with you?"

"Play with you... Play with you... Woo woo woo—"

The little girl suddenly burst into tears, leaving Amber at a loss for a moment, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Wait, wait, don't cry, don't cry."

The tears were about to spread from person to person, from the little girl to Amber.

Lu Ban squatted down.

"Let me perform a magic trick for you."

He said to the little girl.

When the little girl heard this, she quickly stopped crying and looked at Lu Ban curiously.

"Here are my hands."

Lu Ban raised a finger and waved it in front of the little girl.

Then he rubbed his fingers on the stones on the ground, breaking a layer of skin and causing blood to seep out.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Ban's fingers, the little girl's eyes welled up with tears again and she was about to cry.

At this moment, a piece of grass suddenly grew out from the end of Lu Ban's finger.

The little girl's crying face was frozen.

With tears in her eyes and wide eyes, she watched the grass on Lu Ban's fingers grow taller and taller, and even a flower bloomed.

Lu Ban picked the flower and handed it to the little girl.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

He said excitedly.

"Be serious!"

Amber patted Lu Ban on the back of his head and warned him not to use such extraordinary power to amuse children.

The little girl took the flower and happily dug the soil on the ground with a stone. She solemnly inserted the flower into the soil and buried it carefully.

"Grow up quickly."

The little girl put her hands together in prayer.

"It can grow up."

Amber also prayed, and saw that the flower suddenly grew taller and had more branches and leaves, as if it had really absorbed nutrients and grown.

"...Aren't you the same?"

Lu Ban complained on the side.

“It’s about allowing her to have a great childhood.”

Amber gave Lu Ban a blank look.

"This woman has a serious double standard."

Lu Ban muttered.

"I see you're here. My husband went out to sea and caught some fish today. Let me share some with you. They're all very fresh fish. You don't need to add salt. You can just cook them directly."

The hostess of the rented courtyard brought a few fish to Lu Ban in a bamboo basket.

"These fish are very fat. It looks like we've had a good harvest today."

These fishermen rely on the weather for their livelihood. They do not have any modern breeding methods and most of them go out to sea to fish. There is no such thing as going to the market to buy fish if you cannot catch any. On days when there is no harvest, they may not even be able to afford food.

"Yes, there have been a lot of fishing seasons recently, and the quality of the fish is very good. We can stock up a lot. By the way, I heard that a big shot came to the island and seemed to have killed a lot of pirates. He is going to give a speech at the island magistrate this afternoon."

The hostess continued.

"Big shot?"

These words aroused Lu Ban's vigilance.

"Yes, I don't know either. I just heard from some people who came back from the shore this morning that he seemed to have some wounds all over his body, covered with strips of cloth."

The woman said as if she was deeply moved.
