Zhen carefully laid a clean tissue on the ground, then slowly knelt before the Jizo Statue, closing her eyes and pressing her palms together in front of her chest as she muttered silently. She looked entirely devout and sincere.
After Zhen finished her prayer, it was Noda Hisashi's turn. Imitating Zhen's posture, he clumsily knelt before the Jizo Statue, pressed his palms together, and closed his eyes to make a wish... This fellow knelt for an exceptionally long time, likely being far too greedy as he seized the chance to rattle off a whole string of wishes at once.
Next came Erii. Lu Mingfei expected Erii to be flustered, but to his surprise, she looked quite natural as she offered her prayers. In fact, Erii took even longer than Noda Hisashi. Whether she was making too many wishes at once or simply zoned out halfway through... Erii often zoned out. Sometimes when Lu Mingfei took her out to play, she would drift off whenever she saw a pretty landscape or encountered something similar to the anime and TV shows she had watched. Lu Mingfei wondered if Erii was reminded of *Natsume's Book of Friends* or some other plot from an anime while standing before the Jizo Statue. With her eyes closed and a blank expression on her face, she looked deeply absorbed.
