Start by Becoming a Mangaka

They were picked by his father's subordinates by a car and went directly to the shrine ready for the preparation of the summer festival.

Yuuki looked at everyone who was excited while talking to each other.

In this country where the birth rate has decreased severely and the number of population leans toward the elderly.

His harem marriage might be the only way to save this problem. Besides, there are a lot of women in this country who have loneliness problems and decide to marry themselves.

Yuuki didn't understand but the world moved toward the strange direction where they chose to work rather than spend their time with their family. He didn't care much about other people since he was more focused on his family.

'Make them happy,' Yuuki was grateful that he had a lot of beautiful girls around him. He was looking at the window until both of his hands were held by someone, "Hmm?" He turned around and saw both Rossweisse and Shouko were holding their hands. He smiled and hugged her since they were very cute.

The location of the summer festival is quite far from his house since the shrine itself is quite big.

"Yuuki!"

Yuuki saw his father walking together with an elderly woman with black sunglasses. He greeted his father, "Dad."

"Hahaha! Look at you! Your harem has grown once again!" Issei smiled while slapping his back.

"....."

Yuuki was speechless looking at him.

Issei coughed and said, "Let me introduce you! This is the priestess of this shrine! She is from Doumon Clan, but you can call her Obaba."

The priestess smoked a pipe and blew it into the air, "You're his son? Luckily, your genes lean toward your mother rather than your father."

"What was that you hag?!" Issei was annoyed.

"So you will perform a concert in this shrine, right?" The priestess ignored Issei.

"...."

"Yes, that's the plan," Yuuki said while looking at Issei. He could see that both of their relationsh.i.p.s were very close to each other and they might know each other from when he was born.

Issei coughed, "Anyway before you enjoy the festival, you should follow her for a while."

"Why?" Yuuki asked.

"In the past, performance was also one of the ways for people to show their respect to the deity that residents this land," the priestess said and blew her pipe, "Your smell is a bit lewd. I don't need to guess what you've done before, but you need to clean yourself first."

"........"

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say in this situation when someone told him that he was reek of lewd smell.

"The one who is going to perform is both of you, right?" The priestess said while pointing to both Yuuki and Yukari.

Both of them nodded at the same time.

"Then, follow me," the priestess said and pointed at Akane, "You too, Akane."

"Eh!?" Akane was surprised since she had been hiding behind them.

Yuuki said goodbye to everyone and told them that he would come back as soon as possible.

They nodded and told him that they would play and bought a lot of food in this place.

Yuuki was glad that he had money since normal people would go bankrupt with their consumption. He knew that the one with the biggest b.r.e.a.s.ts would buy a lot of things in this place.

Yuuki, Yukari, and Akane talked with them for a while then they followed the priestess to the main shrine in this place.

"Do you know her?" Yuuki asked.

Akane nodded, "I've often played in this place in the past when I was in high school."

"...."

"Do you go to high school?" Yuuki looked at her with a weird expression.

"What's that expression?! Of course, I have one," Akane answered.

"You've never changed, huh? Still very rowdy, Akane," the priestess said.

"Yes, grandma," Akane nodded.

"...."

Yuuki thought that their relationship might be deeper than he had thought. He was looking at this shrine curiously since in this country, the shrine isn't only opened by a human. He remembered that Yasaka also had her own shrine that was made to be dedicated to Amaterasu. He knew that the deity had gotten their power through the belief of human who was coming to this shrine and worshipped to them.

"You're very close to each other?" Yuuki nudged her side.

Akane only gave him a strange smile.

"Yuuki, is it?" The priestess stopped and turned toward him.

"Yes?" Yuuki looked at her with a curious expression.

"If you marry, do it here," the priestess said since she thought it could become a great advertis.e.m.e.nt for her temple.

"Hmm, I am still in high school. I am not in a hurry to marry," Yuuki answered and said, "Thought, if they want me to marry them, I don't mind." He said while holding Yukari's hand.

Yukari blushed, "I - It's still a little too early for us to marry. L - Let's wait until after graduation."

Yuuki smiled while nodding.

"It's good to be young," the priestess said and looked at him for a while, "I might chase you when I am 10 years younger."

'10 years younger?' Yuuki twitched his lips. He looked at the grandma in front of him and knew that 10 years younger than this grandma was a grandma and not a young girl.

Yukari and Akane laughed when they heard it.

"It's a joke. Let's go, you need to clean your body first before the performance," the priestess said.

They nodded since they still wanted to enjoy the summer festival as soon as possible. They wanted this ritual to be over as soon as possible.

Raku was lifting heavy luggage to the shrine and couldn't help but want to complain.

"Come on, you're a man," Issei said to him.

Raku twitched his lips and shouted, "Big Bro! Help me!"

---

Yuuki stopped since he felt that he had heard someone calling his name.

"Yuuki, what's wrong?" Yukari asked.

"Nothing, let's go."
