My Next Life in Teyvat: I Just Wanted Friends, Not Every Girl's Love! Chapter 258 - 257 Little one?

"Oh dear, I’m really sorry about that, little one. I didn’t expect you to hate this, I’ll pay attention next ti."

"Little one? Are you calling that? Yae Miko. Do you really think that your age is greater than mine? Just based on your few hundred years of experience?"

"..."

Oops! Careless! Deceived by Durandal’s appearance, she thought she was the sa as others, forgetting that she also has the identity of a God.

What exactly is wrong with her? Why isn’t the thod that she usually uses so effectively working on Durandal? If she’s not careful and pushes her too hard, she might get beaten up by her. For her own safety, it’s better to be a little more polite.

"Alright, let’s not talk about those empty things. As the Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, I am very grateful for your actions in purifying the sacred sakura tree. Is there anything you want? As long as it is within my power, I can satisfy you."

"That, actually there’s no need..."

Durandal reached out to stop Hanachirusato from continuing to speak, signaling her not to speak next, and let her communicate with Yae Miko.

"My request is very simple, the Grand Narukami Shrine just needs to acknowledge her identity as a Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess)."

"Hmm? That’s so simple?"

Yae Miko blinked. She thought there would be so difficult request, but it turned out to be such a small matter?

It made her feel nervous when she said that sentence, fearing that Durandal would make a request that would affect her ntality and make it difficult for her to step down.

"I haven’t finished speaking yet. The Grand Narukami Shrine acknowledges her identity as a Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess), but the Grand Narukami Shrine cannot forcibly require her to do anything. She is free to do what she wants to do."

Durandal squinted her eyes and said seriously: "She is my Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess), and I won’t allow her to work for you."

"A Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess) who is recognized by the Grand Narukami Shrine but not governed by it? That’s a bit troubleso."

This request is actually not excessive. As the Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko naturally has the right to give Hanachirusato this identity.

But if she gives it like this, Yae Miko will have no way to get Hanachirusato to provide knowledge related to the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual. That knowledge is very important to the Grand Narukami Shrine, and she doesn’t want to miss it.

If it were soone else, they would at most agree on the surface and secretly contact Hanachirusato, using so words to get Hanachirusato to reveal the content with half-hearted willingness.

But with Durandal backing her, Yae Miko didn’t dare to act rashly, which made her very hesitant.

"What? Can’t agree to this request? It’s so simple."

"...I’m very sorry, I’m afraid I can’t agree to you. As the Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, I must be responsible for all the Shrine Priestesses. What would other Shrine Priestesses think if they knew about this? Besides, there’s nothing wrong with her joining the Grand Narukami Shrine. The Grand Narukami Shrine also has salaries, you know. She should also need..."

"No need."

Durandal took out a bag filled with Mora from behind and threw it on the tatami: "There are about one million Mora in here. If Hanachirusato needs it, I can provide her with one million every month. I wonder if the Grand Narukami Shrine’s monthly salary for a Shrine Priestess is this much?"

Of course not. Even she, as the Head Priestess, didn’t have such an exaggerated salary. Could this person be trying to raise the salary and benefits of the Shrine Priestesses through personal ans?

"Lady Durandal, is this... is this appropriate?"

Hanachirusato, who was forbidden to speak, was a little at a loss when she saw so much Mora being thrown in front of her.

Having lived for so long, he was very clear about what this one million represented. In the past, as a tainted being, he had no need for money. Now that Durandal had given him a brand new body, allowing him to live like a normal human, he naturally had a need for Mora.
