#2 Karma.

Mika POV.

I turned back inside, the person behind her had  left without a sound.

I immediately cleaned the living room to welcome the upcoming guest.

Just as she expected, before sunset , Tengu masked man appeared in the morning is leading to a man wearing a black kimono with a white Haori over it.

Judging from his appearance, he could tell that he had a higher status than the person who came in the morning.

I immediately walked over to greet the newcomer:

- Good afternoon, I'm Mika the temple manager. Invite two to come inside, I have prepared tea and cake.

After leading the person in the black kimono into the room, the person in the Tengu mask went out and stood guard outside the door.

- I can guess that you came here because of the rumor about the girl who can break the curse!

The other person nodded slightly.

- I really don't have that ability. All I can do is see the cause and help them pay back the karma that I have sown. Those curses are just cause and effect.

Even so, the face of the man opposite remained unchanged.

- But I'll try to see the cause and effect of your family. - So I apologize.

I gently reached out and touched the curse mark on the other's hand.

My original ability could only see a person's past through their eyes.

The ability to see the cause and effect of a person is due to her training to be able to see each person's past lives.

However, she has no ability to correct or change someone's fate, simply giving them advice, and deciding what to do is in their hands.

As soon as i touched the curse, countless images going back in time ran straight into my head.

I couldn't control it and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, I received the protection of the moon god or else she would really fall into a coma.

- Little girl, are you okay? - He handed me a handkerchief.

- Yes, thank you. - I took the handkerchief.

- I really can't solve this situation, too many causes and effects pile up. So I'm just telling you the main causes and effects?

He nodded slightly.

- Then we start from the prosperity of your family. Your ancient ancestors worked in business, and thanks to your goodwill, you accumulated a lot of merit and built a foundation for the family's development. Since then, your family had grown constantly to become affluent, prosperous, and full of descendants. Leads to some people becoming complacent and deliberately breaking many forbidden techniques that create too much resentment. Those grudges have caused some children a few generations away to become weak without a cure and will die soon, which is the same disease that person once had.

After a pause, I continued:

- The disease you are suffering from is the same. Losing the light was the punishment for creating you. The marks that appeared were similar to your demonization process. Life expectancy is shortened, descendants die prematurely to make up for the people they kill. Your family is still able to survive thanks to the solid merit left by his ancestors. I just want to tell you one word that death is inevitable, but life is also very precious, so please don't give up easily, betraying the hearts of those who have fought and sacrificed for you.

I saw a flash of surprise on his face, but soon returned to a gentle smile:

- Thanks for your advice.

Yes, that's what I should do.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yes, please listen.

- Do you want to be my daughter-in-law?

- Cough...cough..., do you want me to marry your son?

He responsed me by a slight nod.

My face turned red, I felt a little embarrassed, so I said in a low voice:

- I'm sorry, I've been rude.

The man in front of him just smiled and replied:

- No problem.

Even though I was matured before my age, I was still only a ten-year-old girl, there are many things that I still can't think through.

- I don't know anymore...

- In that case, why don't you try to meet my son? - he responded

I thought about it for a while, so I agreed:

- Yes, so when will your son come?

- Maybe tomorrow.

- Tomorrow? - little surprise.

- What is the matter?

- No, it's just that there will be a traditional temple ceremony tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be well received.

- Kagaya won't notice.

- So I hope to see him tomorrow.

- Let me see you off.

After seeing the two of them off, I began to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony.

Tomorrow could be a special day.

I should make some cake for my new friend tomorrow.

I couldn't know that his main purpose was not for me to find a way to dispel the curse, but to pray for my son's sake, which I couldn't see while viewing his memory.

The shrine initially chose Amane, but a year ago, for some reason, it was changed to Mika.

That's when the fate of a thousand years ago was reunited.

___________

In the past year, families have been living around here often send their children back to the temple to help me.

It starts from the quite large number of missing children missions in certain surrounding areas.

I had to monitor for a few days to discover that it was a demon that specializes in eating children, especially newborn babies.

I had a hard time defeating it, because it had the ability to be called a Devil, something I had never seen in a demon before.

The mechanism's magic blood can trick people into numbness and difficulty moving.

I had to use the most difficult part to perform, which is Zero: Silence.

Using the mind of the whole breath and the body sensing the opportunity to arise, must be passionately quick to resist.

For me, this part is always the most difficult, because when performing it, the outside must be as solid as a rock, but the inside must still be flexible so that the next hit must be strong and accurate.

After that event, several families wanted to send their children to the temple, but I refused.

Even so, every morning there were some children who went to the temple to help me.
