The shrine maiden's residence at Hatsuyuki Shrine, like the cherry tree and worship hall, is surrounded by a mahogany fence called "Tamagaki".

That is to isolate the residence of the gods from the secular world and ensure the purity of the divine realm.

As priests who serve the gods, witches are naturally allowed to live in the residence of the gods.

Looking specifically at Hatsuyuki Shrine, Sakurayuki Chiai even lives beside the Sakura God day and night.

Everything she did at home was watched tenderly by Chuxue.

In this way, everyone entered Qian Ai's home talking and laughing.

Since she hasn't been here for a long time, Erina has forgotten where the small vegetable garden is.

"It's over there." Yingxue led the way with a smile: "Open the outdoor sliding door and you will reach the vegetable garden. Why don't you go take a look first? I will come over after preparing the tea."

So, everyone happily walked around the corner, opened the wooden door, and saw a small vegetable patch surrounded by a wall.

Here, there is also a bluestone well that looks quite old - the pool of the Tesuisha. It is probably filled by Sakuraxue carrying water from here every day.

Fortunately, the distance is not too far. Otherwise, just carrying water every day would probably take up half my life.

Probably for the sake of beauty and not to destroy the sacred atmosphere, this vegetable field is surrounded on three sides and cannot be seen from the shrine courtyard.

It can only be entered through these two sliding doors of Yingxue's house.

Behind the sliding door, there is a short stone step leading to the yard.

This is a design common in traditional Japanese houses outside the outdoor sliding doors that are not entrance doors. The material is occasionally made of wood.

The reason why there is such a step is that it is convenient for people to put their feet on it when they open the door and sit there.

It is also equivalent to dividing an additional boundary between the outdoor ground and the indoor area to remind you that you need to take off your shoes here.

In this traditional Japanese style room with tatami mats, you have to take off your shoes when entering the room. Slippers are only worn when going to the toilet, washroom, laundry room and taking a shower.

The Yida family has a semi-traditional design. That is, you need to take off your shoes in specific rooms such as your own room, living room, and calligraphy room. You do not need to take off your shoes in corridors and other places.

You can see that Sakurayuki Chiai's work clothes and mud-stained boots specially used for working are placed in a cabinet nearby.

Since there are no shoes that can be worn out here, and it would be too troublesome to go to the entrance to get them, it would be nice to just stand here and look at the situation in the yard.

The yard is not too big, but it maximizes the use of space and grows many things.

At the same time, a chicken shed was also built.

There are several hens walking around in the garden.

The only rooster stood above the chicken shed, staring at them with its chest raised, as if to declare its sovereignty.

Probably, Yingxue wakes up every morning listening to the crow of the rooster - it's really a very primitive and natural alarm clock.

There are many vegetables grown in the garden.

Tomatoes, potatoes, radishes, cabbage, cabbage, eggplant...

Since the garden itself is not big, the vegetable patch seems quite crowded.

"Hehe... It's been a long time since I've been here. We feel so familiar when we see this vegetable field~" Sachiko looked at all this, and while squatting on the ground to roll up the Yukikaze Pills, she said enthusiastically: "I wish we had some too

Just a piece of land, that’s fine~”

Yukikaze Maru: "Wow!"

Sachiko: "Hey? You said Eunice's family originally had a place like this? Oh...that's great...we want it too."

Sachiko: "Although we should be too lazy to farm..."

Yukikaze Maru: "Woof! Woof woof..."

Sachiko: "Miss Eunice? Yeah, we understand! We also want to know how she is doing~"

Sachiko: "But who should I ask about this kind of thing?"
