They Gather Here

The lanterns on both sides were not turned on, and the sunlight shone through the leaves, casting straight shadows on the irregular stone steps. A white flag with "Kifune Shrine" written on it.

Very artistic scenery.

It's a pity that someone has no mood: "I only ate a small bento box on the Shinkansen, and I'm a little hungry."

There is no doubt that the words were spoken by Nakano Mayzuki.

Luo Zhen really wanted to open the girl's brain to see what was inside.

Yukinoshita thought the same way, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's take a look when we get to the shrine, maybe we can buy something to eat."

This is a delaying method, so the priests will not prepare food for the worshipers.

But Nakano Wuyue just believed it, and nodded excitedly, even climbing up the stairs with great enthusiasm.

Climbing to the top of the stone steps, passing through another torii gate, the eyes become open.

In the past, the status of Guishen Shrine was not high, but after all, it has a long history and the area is much larger than imagined. You can see several uncles and aunts drinking from paper cups.

Luo Zhen estimated that there are free drinks provided.

There is a small red torii gate further ahead. Unlike the white flags that can be seen everywhere, the flag erected in front represents the dragon god "God God" who is in charge of rainfall and stops rain.

You can find the entrance to worship through the red torii gate, and there is a clergyman standing next to him with a bad nose.

Fortunately, there was no queue.

Luo Zhen quickly took out the special coupon and walked over.

Unexpectedly, when Rosacea saw the invitation card, he seemed even more excited than him: "Is it from the Fujiwara family in Tokyo?"

Luo Zhen was stunned: "????"

"No, isn't the Fujiwara family a girl named 'Qianhua'?"

Worthy of being a famous family.

Luo Zhen couldn't handle this situation a little bit.

He subconsciously turned his head and asked several girls for help.

Yukinoshita pursed her lips, as if she didn't like this kind of entertainment on social occasions.

But she still came over and bowed respectfully: "Hi, my name is Yukino, I come from Yukinoshita's family in Chiba Prefecture, and I got a special invitation voucher from my friend Ms. Fujiwara."

friend?

It's really easy to say.

As a surname, "Yueshita" is undoubtedly extremely special, and it is estimated that people who have heard it once will have an impression.

Apparently, the same goes for the rosacea.

He smiled immediately: "Please come with me."

The destination is the shrine affairs office on the right (which can be understood as "shrine affairs management office"), but with the clergy leading the way, everything is naturally unimpeded.

The eight people took off their shoes behind the latticed door in the entrance and entered the room.

This is Luo Zhen's first time joining the agency.

To be precise, because of his educational background before rebirth, he believed in historical materialism, so whether it was Chinese or neon, he didn't visit many temples or shrines.

He couldn't help being a little curious and looked around.

The lobby of the social affairs office is very large, surrounded by four kinds of paper sliding doors. At first glance, the area should be more than 1 tatami (Japanese area measurement unit, 1 stack = 1.62 tatami = [-] square meters).

There is a small row of round stoves in the room, and dim sparks can be seen, which may be used for both cooking and heating.

Further inside are rows of low tables, where priests eat and drink together.

Drinking in broad daylight?

Compared to Tokyo, Kyoto is too laid back, right?

Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, trying to see what kind of food they were eating.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and only tofu dishes and fried food similar to spring rolls can be vaguely recognized. He guessed that it should be a special Japanese food called "Makiori".

at this time……

"It's great, there's something to eat." Nakano Wuyue whispered, "I'm hungry."

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded: "I don't know if the special coupon can be exchanged for some food."

Everyone: "..."

Quickly dig a hole and bury these two foodies!

Luo Zhen was thinking about the feasibility of this plan, when a witch in white clothes and a scarlet hakama walked in.

She saluted the group respectfully, then introduced herself in a low voice, saying that she was a full-time staff who led them to visit, and also mentioned what "special hospitality" they could enjoy.

Let’s not talk about the routine matters such as drawing lots and paying homage.

Two of the more peculiar ones are pucha cuisine (also known as "vegetarian food") and priesthood experience.

Ayaka Totsuka said that they were all very good. The foodie duo Jia Luozhen paid more attention to Pucha cuisine, while the rest of the girls paid attention to completely different points.

"Principal experience?" Kato Megumi's eyes widened, "Can you wear a priestess costume?"

"Yes." Miss Witch nodded.

"Won't this offend the gods?"

"It doesn't matter. During the New Year's visit, due to the large number of guests, we often invite nearby female high school students to come and work, and they also wear witch costumes."

Kato Megumi nodded.

For the first time, Luo Zhen discovered that this dazed girl had a strong desire.

Could it be that she also likes cosplay?

Miss Miko saluted again with a smile, and said, "There are only a few sets of Miko costumes, and they are all used, but they are washed very clean. Are you okay?"

Luo Zhen originally thought that it was impossible for Xue Xia to wear other people's clothes, so she would definitely refuse, but she didn't expect her to say nothing.

Miss Miko nodded: "I'll get it now."

Chapter 16 Guishen Shrine and Pucha Cuisine ([-])

Except for Jing Keai, the girls left the table collectively and changed their clothes.

Girls also have a uniform complex.

Luo Zhen still remembers that when he was in college in his previous life, the girls were crazy about the graduates wearing the uniforms of the tax system, saying, "So handsome~", "I want to wear it~" and so on. vividly.

In other words, their uniform complex is a yearning for a certain identity and occupation——

It might be a bride in a wedding dress, or a priestess in a white dress and a scarlet hakama, or even herself in a sailor suit.

On this point, boys are not incomprehensible.

For example, when Luo Zhen was young, he liked military uniforms because he yearned for the heroic appearance of soldiers.

In fact, he had never been interested in aprons and chef's clothes, but he ended up working in related industries. This is probably the so-called "everything in the world".

Thinking about the past, Luo Zhen took a sip of tea.

Matcha, which is very characteristic of Kyoto, may be specially offered by shrines. It has an extremely strong aroma and a faint taste of seaweed.

It is true that matcha is considered a specialty of neon today, but it was first born in China. After the introduction of the Song Dynasty, it was loved by the neon people. It has continued to evolve through continuous development, forming today's matcha culture.

It is only natural to trace its history and stamp it with the brand of Kyoto.

Totsuka Saika said in a low voice, "It's really delicious."

Luo Zhen nodded, suddenly his brain cramped, and asked: "Totsuka-san, why do you want to be a nurse?"

"Hey?"

"Is it because of the uniform plot?"

"..."

"..."

Ayaka Totsuka was thrown into confusion.

After a long time, he said with some embarrassment: "I like the service industry that can help others."

"What a good kid with dedication." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded beside her, showing a praising expression, "Please forgive me when the teacher hears the word 'nurse' and thinks of you in a nurse's uniform."

"teacher?"
