WE WENT TO CHURCH AND SAID "I DO...ACCEPT THE QUEST"

Slash. Sidestep. Thrust. Slide.

It is a peaceful Sunday morning. Birds are chirping, the sun rays are not stinging, and the gentle breeze of the wind is calming. I went to the backyard of the house and saw the love of my life practicing his sword, swinging it over and over like a true samurai. He must have perfected a thousand swings now.

"Oh. Good morning, Tiara." Rikkun smiled at me.

What a way to start my morning~

"Good morning, Rikkun…" I turned away to hide my blushing cheeks. "S...Say… Ummm… Let's go to church?"

Rikkun's emerald eyes widened. "I thought you shrine maidens have a different religion? Wouldn't you go to hell if you visit a church?"

"Kozukata Shrine's Shintoism recognizes other religions with respect. We can go to any churches of any religion. Besides… I think Christianism is on my blood. My mother said that my great-great-grandfather fought in the Hundred-Year Jihad of France against the Babylonians!"
