The female subordinate I covet is equally ambitious

Chapter 232 Rabbit Shrine
The sky was either covered with gloomy lead-colored clouds or drifting snow, and the taxis waiting for the traffic lights stopped in front of the intersection, as if the street was imprisoned by eternal winter.

But this is impossible, time is still passing steadily.

The taxi soon arrived at its destination. After Shimatani River and Usami Rika got off the bus, they took a deep breath of fresh outdoor air. Today's weather in Okazaki City may be cold because of the morning.

Okazaki Shrine has a lot of people coming here to worship in this cold winter. Most of them are men and women, and most of them are elderly couples. In addition, many young women with hair in women's buns came in person and were very pious.

This scene made Usami Rika a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. She thought it was because Okachi City has a small population and all young people are working. Only wives who stay at home full-time are more free to come to worship.

Much like other shrines, there are many small vendors doing business outside this Okazaki Shrine.

Usami Rika was not interested in the snacks on the roadside, but she was interested in the rabbit-shaped guards. The strange thing was that the rabbit guards only had two colors, one was purple and the other was red.

She curiously picked up a pair of rabbit pendants and played with them from time to time. In the end, she chose to buy the two colors of pendants.

In addition, many of the items sold at the stalls outside this shrine are related to rabbits. For example, there are wishing ema with rabbits on them, various picture books of "bonding rabbits" and "lucky rabbits", rabbit patterns painted on lanterns and paper doors, etc.

After walking around the perimeter of Okazaki Shrine, the two of them walked into the entrance of the shrine. There are many fewer people inside than outside, and it is much more spacious than outside.

There are two stone statues of rabbits at the entrance of the main shrine, and there is also a statue of a black rabbit standing looking up at the moon in the hand-washing pavilion.

There is a pool in the middle of the shrine with clear spring water and a big ladle in it. The wooden sign erected next to it says that the water is extremely pure and can wash away all dirt.

"This is good, why don't you jump in and wash it." Usami Rika took a spoonful of water and teased him: "Let's see if I can really wash you clean?"

"Agent, are you saying I'm not a good person?" Shimatani Chuan protested dissatisfiedly, but still stretched out his hand honestly. Usami Rika tilted the spoon, and the water poured on his open hands little by little, making it warm and cool. Not cold, very comfortable.

"Agent, why don't you take a shower too? It's quite comfortable."

"No, I'm very clean." Usami was reluctant, put down the spoon and left.

"Don't go, let's take a shower without wasting time."

Shimantani shamelessly grabbed Usami Rika's wrist and pulled it back. He picked up a spoon and slowly poured it into her palm, and asked: "How is it? It feels pretty good."

Usami Rika had no expression on her face, turned her head and looked away, and answered casually: "It's not bad, it's warmer than tap water."

Suddenly, Shimatani Chuan saw another woman in kimono walking over. She seemed to be a devout believer. When she washed her hands, she would sprinkle water on the rabbit statue next to her, and while stroking the belly of the rabbit statue with her hands, she would mutter, Praying for something.

"Agent, this should be a custom, right?" Shitani Chuan looked at Usami Rika who was washing her hands.

"probably."

After the devout female believer left, Usami Rika thought for a while and learned to sprinkle the water from washing her hands on the rabbit and stroke the belly of the rabbit stone statue with her hands.

After a while, Usami Rika turned around and left, saying in a calm tone: "That should be enough, let's go to the main hall of the shrine."

Afterwards, the two came to the shrine's offering room and the place where lots were drawn, which had the largest queue.

There are many people here, many couples are paying homage and casting lots, praying for something unknown.

"There are a lot of people here. It seems that this shrine is very effective. Agent, how about we go and pay our respects too?"

"Oh, I never believe this. If you can ask for anything, why do you have to work so hard from birth to now?"

Although Usami Rika's mouth was full of disdain, after standing for a while, her body somehow moved to the end of the line and lined up.

Perhaps for the sake of face, while queuing up, she accused Shitani River: "You are a college graduate after all, and you even believe this. For the sake of your begging, I reluctantly draw lots with you to pray."

"Ahem, I didn't say I believed it." Shimatani Chuan spread his hands and said he was innocent: "Actually, it's this kind of thing, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Isn't praying just for peace of mind? It's just for a good omen. ”

"Co-author, you mean that I have reached the point where I need to seek spiritual sustenance, right?"

Usami Rika rolled her eyes and smiled angrily: "The implication is that I feel empty inside? Huh?"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Shimatani frowned slightly as he looked at the busty female agent, and quickly denied: "I didn't mean that at all, it's just that since we are all here, we should experience the local customs and gain experience. "

There is nothing wrong with this. As a Nagoya native, I come to such a small local city. Whether you are doing as the Romans do when visiting the country, or just having fun or experiencing local customs, since you are here, you must respect the local customs. While the two were talking, most of the team in front of them had passed.

Usami Rika pursed her lips, then seemed to react, and said: "Well, you Shitani River! You are talking to me deliberately while pushing me to queue, right? I didn't expect that you, a small subordinate, can be so deep. "

"???"

Shimatani Chuan had a question mark on his face and retorted: "Agent, you are outright slandering me! It was obviously you who stood up on your own. I didn't pull you or push you. Why do you still blame me when your feet are on your own body?" "

"Forget it, there aren't many people in front of us. We've all queued up here. Just a few more minutes and it will be your turn."

Looking at this arrogant female agent, Shimantani decided not to reason with him. Reasoning with women is simply asking for trouble.

Sure enough, I saw that he had become a big deal and a small matter. Even though she was very rude, Usami Rika was not angry. Instead, she smiled in a happy voice: "Forget it, we're all here, let's continue queuing."

Suddenly, she became silent and silently observed the front and back of the queue, and said with doubts: "It's a bit strange. Why are so many people here together with men and women, and most of the people in line are women?"

"Um? It seems so."

Shimatani Chuan also looked puzzled, and followed her words and said, "I don't know, maybe it's custom. That agent is coming to us, hurry up and follow him."

Hearing his urging, Usami Rika stopped thinking for a moment and followed the queue. After a while, she was in line.

Following the example of the people in front of her, Usami Rika knelt down on the futon like the others, leaned down and bowed, then stood up and walked to the altar table to get the lottery tube.

There are rabbit fortune tellers placed everywhere in the shrine. They all turn their heads and are called "Turn Back Rabbit".

Usami Rika imitated the other women and bowed devoutly again, and then took out the rabbit magic sign, which said good luck.

After looking at the ways of praying for wishes to come true, the strange thing is that they are all related to rabbits. She was asked to write her wish on an "ema" and walk around the shrine three times. If she found the three statues of the rabbit, her wish would come true.

A pure smile appeared on Usami Rika's face, and she began to follow the instructions. She quickly walked around the shrine three times and found three statues of turning back rabbits.

No one likes good luck, and she is no exception.

Usami Rika was in a good mood. She came to the tree at the door and tied the stick to the branch with a red rope. As soon as they were tied, a passing girl dressed as a miko smiled and said softly to Usami Rika: "I wish you a baby soon."

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Usami Rika, who was still smiling, was stunned. After hearing the miko's words, her body straightened up, her breasts were high and straight, she took a sharp breath and walked out of the shrine quickly.

She caught up with a worshiping woman who had just walked out in front of her, and after saying a few words to her, the next second, Usami Rika's face turned livid, her expression was cold, and she was full of murderous intent.

Before Shimatani Chuan could run away, Usami Rika grabbed his tie and pulled him in front of him.

Without saying a word, she directly grabbed Shitani Chuan's ear and said in a low voice but full of anger: "You bastard! Come out quickly."

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! What's going on?" Shitani Chuan touched his ears and was forced to follow him out.

Many people looked at this 'couple' and couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, which made Usami Rika walk faster.

After dragging Shitani Chuan a little further, he could no longer see the crowd. Only then did Usami Rika let go of Shitani River's ears, folded her arms across her chest, and raised her proud breasts high. Her speaking volume returned to normal, but her anger became even more intense: "Asshole! What did you ask me to worship!"

"What? I didn't understand." Shitani River pretended to be confused and said with an aggrieved look: "Isn't Okazaki Shrine the number one shrine? I heard that this place is very famous, so is there anything wrong with coming here to pray?"

"Haha, are you really confused or are you just pretending to be confused?"

Usami Rika's eyebrows almost knitted together, and her tone became cold: "Do you know what is enshrined here?"

Shimatani shook his head and said he didn't know.

"That's the patron saint of rabbits! It blesses happy marriages, smooth childbirth, and successful children!" Usami Rika suddenly yelled angrily: "What am I asking for?! Damn it, who am I going to give birth to? With you?" !”

When she said this, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She quickly stopped and added: "Ah! What the hell am I talking about! I'm all because of you!"
