Inside the shrine.
Shinomiya Kaguya lifted the paper cup and took a sip of sweet sake.
"Delicious. A little sweet."
Kaguya: ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)
"Kaguya-san has never drunk this before?" Sakurai Saki also held a cup.
"The Shinomiya family's New Year ceremony is always held in the morning, with tedious rituals, and we have to stand for a long ti, so there's basically no chance to drink." Shinomiya Kaguya quickly finished a cup. "This year I was supposed to visit Inari Taisha Shrine, but you rescued . I don't know what my older brother and father were thinking to actually agree to your request."
Inari?
That deity is at ho cooking right now—really makes one wonder who the Shinomiya family is actually worshipping. Sakurai Saki silently complained in his heart.
"The Shinomiya family has a bit of cooperation with my mother." He didn't explain further.
Sakurai Saki finished his cup and tossed it into the trash.
Shinomiya Kaguya, on the other hand, went to get another cup.
"This can actually be refilled for free?" She looked surprised.
"Like the unlimited drink refills in a family restaurant."
A strange comparison, but when Shinomiya Kaguya said it, it didn't sound awkward at all. An Ojou-sama truly is a wondrous being, able to turn the ordinary into sothing magical.
"Kaguya-san, don't drink any more." Hayasaka Ai offered a word of caution.
Shinomiya Kaguya had never drunk sake before, and Hayasaka Ai wasn't too reassured.
"No… it's fine~" Shinomiya Kaguya's small face was already tinged with red.
"I won't get drunk; this alcohol content is really low."
Kaguya: ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)
She spoke while tilting her head back, draining the warm sweet sake in her hand.
This ti, she didn't go for another refill.
Hayasaka Ai supported her and led her to draw an omikuji fortune slip.
For New Year's omikuji, people usually draw "Blessing." It's said that the chance of drawing "Misfortune" is only three in a thousand, and if soone actually draws "Misfortune," it's ironically considered a sign of good luck—ordinary people really can't draw it.
But Sakurai Saki clearly wasn't ordinary.
"..." He opened the slip and rubbed his brow.
Sakurai: "(ノ _
