Chapter 20 Six People's Ceremony (Part 1)

Deep summer season.

shrine.

Ceremony.

However, there are no bustling crowds, no vendors shouting loudly at the festival, no laughter or joy of children, no flirting with young people, and no old people recalling the past.

On both sides of the long stairs leading to the shrine, the red lanterns that originally represented joyfulness, but instead further supported the desolate situation of the festival.

Autumn harvest festival.

The most valued festival in this small town mainly based on agriculture is no longer cared about.

Along the empty and desolate mountain road, you will come to the shrine on the mountainside platform, which can make people feel sad from the heart.

Could it be that the illusory curse has dissipated the traditions of hundreds of years, and a child who is still underage bears such heavy responsibilities and unreasonable accusations?

In front of the shrine, a grand ceremony with only six people is underway.

A few days ago.

Since that day, Nobita and others have been exclusion in the school more and more obvious.

Finally, at the suggestion of Stomako, everyone no longer went to the classroom or club, but went directly to the health room where Teacher Jiang Lian was. However, Sugiko still insisted on completing Teacher Jedo's instructions. She came to the health room to meet everyone after the activities of the Gudao Department every morning.

A day passed slowly and quickly.

When the get out of class was about to end, Teacher Jiang Lian asked everyone.

"Everyone, do you want to visit the teacher's house? It's just that tomorrow is the weekend, so let's play with the teacher for a while?" Teacher Jiang Lian asked with a smile.

Of course, the girls will agree.

And Nobita would have no objection.

So, after class, we all came to Teacher Jiang Lian's home, opposite Nobita's house, the luxurious villa-the villa where Liuli once lived.

"Wow~ It turns out that the villa opposite Nobita's house is from your house by Teacher Jiang Lian~" Dahe sighed, "When I was a child, I always yearned for living in such a place where the princess lived~"

"Well~ I really lived here with a naughty, willful but gentle, well-educated little princess~" Teacher Jiang Lian said with a smile, "Now the little princess has gone further to study. So, as the little princess' maid, I want to help her manage this small castle."

"Eh? Eh?" Fuko seemed very surprised and asked anxiously, "A person as outstanding as Teacher Jiang Lian is also someone else's maid? Then how noble should the person who accepts your service be? No wonder you have never agreed to be my tutor... So that's the case... But, this is definitely possible, this lady can do better than her!"

"Sashiko, you've done a good job."

"No! As the future heir of Tanikawa Company, I must do better than now!" Shinko suddenly said solemnly.

"Well, we all see your efforts. But sometimes, don't be too arrogant, we are all willing to help you." Teacher Jiang Lian smiled and touched Fujiko's little head, "You all must help each other with all their strength, right?"

"Of course, if my friend whom I recognize is in trouble, I will do my best to help him!"

"Yeah! So am I! Although I only seem to have a little bit of force, I will try my best to help!"

"Shizuka...come too!"

"Shangko won't fall behind either."

"Well, everyone is indeed the best friends, right? I hope you all remember what you said today." Teacher Jiang Lian said with a smile, "Okay, sit in the room first and chat well."

"Okay! Teacher Jiang Lian!"

After dinner, everyone came to the starry sky and took a walk in the beautiful garden.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Jiang Lian even cooked so delicious!" Dahe patted his stomach that was bulging, "I'm so full~"

"Daha, you've eaten too much!" Fukako complained.

"How can you practice martial arts if you don't eat enough?" Daha made several standard long-fist movements, "Children who eat a lot will be healthy! This is what my father said! But why are you, Fuzi, eating that little bit? You can't eat enough at all, right?"

"I just need to take enough nutrition, otherwise I will get fat easily."

"Fasuko, we are still growing. It would be better to eat a little more, otherwise it may lead to poor development." Sugiko kindly reminded.

On the other side, Dahe proudly raised his small breasts that had obviously fluctuated.

"Woo... I will definitely become a charming and noble woman in the future! You don't have to worry about this little thing!"

"But last time I went to the public bath with Shizuka and I to take a shower, I found that even Shizuka had begun to develop~" Okawa said quietly in his ear.

"Shizuka! Impossible!" Fukako said in surprise, then looked at Shizuka, who was hesitating behind Teacher Jiang Lian and wanted to say something.

"It's true~ You will see it when you wait until the next swimming class~"

"No! This young lady must not lose! From today on, add two more bottles of milk every day!"

"Sashiko... this is not good." Hearing Fukako say this, Sugiko hurriedly advised, "As long as you are not picky about food, eat a reasonable diet, and eat a little more. Drinking milk alone will not be effective."

"Yeah...so that's the case..."

"So, it's not good for you to be picky about food? For today's dinner, did you jump out of the green pepper and carrots?"

"Woo... I know... I will try my best to overcome the picky food in the future..."

As the three of them whispered, Shizuka seemed to finally make up her mind on the other side.

"Well... Teacher Jiang Lian... can you teach me how to cook..." Shizuka asked carefully.

"Actually, my eldest lady is the real person who is good at cooking. My craftsmanship is all influenced by the eldest lady. Moreover, Mengmeng has helped me a lot just now." Teacher Jiang Lian said while slowly leading everyone to walk in the garden, "But, if Shizuka, you are willing to learn, I will leave it to you without reservation."

"Well..." Unexpectedly, Teacher Jiang Lian agreed so simply. Shizuka stopped for a while before continuing, "Ah... Thank you... Thank you Teacher Jiang Lian! I will work hard!"

On the other side, in the kitchen, Nobita was washing dishes with Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, this party should have been proposed by you and Teacher Jiang Lian?"

"Master Nobita, that's right, it's Mengmeng~ Thank you Mengmeng~"

"The party is good, but why do you have to choose here?"

"Master Nobita, the place is not the cat chosen by Mengmeng~ it was the cat decided by Sister Jiang Lian~"

"Mr. Jiang Lian... what's the point of her..."

"Sister Jiang Lian must be for you, Master Nobita. Meow~ I have been here for so long~ I probably guessed what you want to change Master Nobita~"

"Well... Mengmeng, what do I want to change?"

"It must be a girlfriend! The future master of Nobita, you have never had a wife or a girlfriend. Meow! But now it seems that there are at least four girls who like you. Meow! The master of Nobita must be too shy, so he has not caught up with any one! Mengmeng will help Nobita to capture them all!" As he said that, little stars flashed in Mengmeng's eyes.

"Mengmeng, don't cause me unnecessary trouble..." Nobita said helplessly after knocking on the little maid's head.

"Master Nobita bullies Mengmeng again~ But, Master Nobita, if you don't seize it, the opportunity will be fleeting~ Teacher Jiang Lian must have thought so too~" Mengmeng explained with tears in her eyes, hugging her little head.

"Mengmeng...you still don't understand..." Nobita murmured to himself gently while stroking the little maid's head.

"Mengmeng doesn't understand what, meow... But meow~ Master Nobita is indeed Master Nobita, meow..." It felt very comfortable to have his little head touched by Nobita, and Mengmeng began to rub his arms around Nobita's arms.

"Okay, Mengmeng, don't move around, help me organize the place quickly."

"Yes, meow~Nobita master meow~"

After bathing in the huge and luxurious bathhouse in the bungalow, everyone was chatting in their thin pajamas.

"What a big bathroom. I feel like I'm almost catching up with the real hot spring~" Dahe collapsed comfortably on the rocking chair with a big pillow in his arms.

"I feel that the water in the bathtub does not seem to be purely hot water. It seems that it is simulating a hot spring." Sugiko knows this more about it.

"Well, the hot water in the bathtub is mixed with hot spring salt, which can probably be considered as a certain hot spring effect. This is what the eldest lady told me. After all, I basically don't know much about this." Jiang Lian replied.

"There are so many books here." Fuzi took out a few books from the study to pass the time, "Teacher Jiang Lian, the master you serve is a person who loves reading, right?"

"Well, most of the books in the study are collected by the young lady's parents. But the young lady always only chooses books that she is interested in to read. Probably, half of them have been read by the young lady, right?" Jiang Lian said with some uncertainty.

"Everyone is comfortable to wash~ the juice is ready~"

At this time, Mengmeng and Nobita came to the living room with a bucket of freshly squeezed watermelon juice. They placed the iced bucket next to them, filled the juice in a glass, and placed it in front of everyone.

"And Teacher Jiang Lian, your wine is meow~"

"Yeah, thank you Mengmeng."

"Well~ I saw the villa where the legendary princess lives today~ Let's have a cheer together!" Dahe stood from the recliner, picked up the cup and said happily.

"You just want to drink more juice, Dakawa." Shoko complained.

"Well~ Although it's the point, it's the first time you've gathered together like this for a night. Don't you think you should celebrate it a little?"

"Well, although we are always together, if you think about it carefully, we really don't have a good party together. This time I would like to thank Teacher Jiang Lian for the invitation." Shanzi thanked Teacher Jiang Lian.

"Well, Shizuka, get the cup and everyone toast~" Okawa turned to Shizuka on the other side and said, "Shizuka, are you writing your diary on your phone again? I'll write it later~ Come here and everyone toast~"

"Well... this is not a diary..." Shizuka said weakly, "Just just record it a little..."

"However, I feel like Shizuka, you always use your phone to record something when you are idle. If you change to writing, you can write a lot of diary, right?" asked Shizuko curiously.

"Well... the mobile phone records can also be taken... I want to keep more things than words..."
