Chapter 40: A Corner of the City

86_86859 One of the strange features of Japan is that when you walk around the city, you can often see a forest or a garden-like place, which is not a big place, but it gives people a very peaceful atmosphere. This type of place is usually a Japanese park, shrine, or temple.

It is said that on average, there is one shrine for every 1,500 people in Japan.

At this time, Mori Xia followed his sister Yukino and was walking on the approach to Toba Shrine.

Although Toba Shrine is located in the middle of the city, it is surrounded by trees and bamboo forests, and it almost makes you feel like you are in a kind of paradise with birds singing and flowers when you look at it.

The pavilions of the main hall loom in the fog in the distance, the birds and insects chirp in the distance, the fresh air of the early morning comes to the face, and the clogs make a clattering sound when they come into contact with the cobblestone approach. Mori Natsu rarely wears clogs, but walking around the shrine in these shoes is a different experience.

Delicate in a small place, the creation of Toba Shrine fully reflects the delicacy and delicacy of the Japanese people.

Mori Xia deliberately took two steps slower, and then looked at Yukino in front of him.

Walking in a shrine maiden costume in a fairyland that is still a little misty, it is like a fairy in mythology, elegant and holy, making people almost forget to breathe.

"Brother, you're a little slow. Yukino turned her head and looked at Mori Xia as well, and then she was stunned as well.

"What's wrong?" Senxia came back to his senses.

"Hmm......" Yukino looked at Mori Xia like this, her expression was so serious, as if she was looking at a work of art, "Feeling...... It's like a fairy. ”

It's exactly the same feeling as Senxia, but the object is a little different.

"What am I going to do next?" Mori Xia looked at the sky, it was about half past six now, and he asked, "Are you going to do some training or something?"

"If you're going to wear a shrine maiden's suit, I'll tell you when I get back.,I'll give you the instructions for the sale of tokens later.,Just take a look at this.。 As she spoke, Yukino turned around and walked forward, and Mori Xia also took a step and followed Yukino.

Mori Xia thought that Xue Nai would continue to speak, but after Xue Nai finished saying the previous words, he didn't continue, and he was a little strange: "That's all?"

"That's all, of course. Yukino glanced back at Mori Xia, "Otherwise, there would be something." ”

"It's about doctrine, belief, and so on. "Senxia thinks that's the point.

"Ah," Yukino nodded, "I haven't seen that kind of thing anyway." ”

Well, since there isn't, that's all there is to it.

The name of Toba Shrine comes from Emperor Toba, but it is Tamamo that is enshrined in this place.

Well, it's the Japanese legend of the nine-tailed fox Daji who escaped to Japan, and it is also one of the three major monsters in Japan, "Tamamomae".

Probably because Tamamo was once the favorite concubine of Emperor Toba, so there is this strange place.

As for why you say that the Japanese build shrines for yokai, I can only say that in this part of Japan, things are so magical.

There was nothing to fuss about for Mori Natsu, who was not very interested in Japanese mythology, as for Tamamae or something...... It's okay to be cute, who cares if she's a demon girl or a ghost?

Toba Shrine is located on a small hill west of Musashino, and there is still a long way to get to the shrine. Mori Natsu and Yukino walked through the approach and arrived in front of the gate, and when they looked ahead, they could see the stairs descending the mountain.

Directly across from the mountain gate is the main hall and the worship hall of Toba Shrine, some shrines are separated from each other, but Toba Shrine is together. Offerings are placed in the deepest part of the main hall, and worshippers pray in the main hall for personal offerings.

On the right hand side of the approach is a water hut, and in anime works, there is usually a place for water in the shrine, and this is the place. Before worshipping the deity, worshippers are required to purify themselves here as a sign of respect for the deity. By the way, the surname of the famous "Mitarai" is also derived from this, such as which Mitarai red bean or something......

Sen Xia looked here for a long time, and then was a little puzzled: "Is it just the two of us who are witches?"

"Originally, there were still a few people, but now, the god's grandfather is in the hospital, and then there is a senior who is old, so he went back to his hometown two days ago to get married, although there are still some temporary workers, but they will only come to help when they are busy, so there are only two of us here for the time being. ”

What the hell is it to go back to your hometown and get married?

However, in Japan, there is indeed an age limit for professional shrine maidens, taking Toba Shrine as an example, in Toba Shrine to become a real shrine maiden, you must be under 25 years old, starting with a 22-year-old college graduate, the real shrine maiden can only stay for three years when she is full, and she is not even able to stay for a long time as a part-time job like Yukino, if she is overage, she will either become a priest, or she will go back to her hometown to get married, as Yukino said...... Ahem.

So generally speaking, the shrine invites high school students who live near the shrine to work part-time, and most of the shrine's recruitment notices are posted at high schools near the shrine, and Yukino will work here as an opportunity.

Xue Nai suddenly turned his head, then pointed at his neck at Sen Xia, and instructed, "Brother, pay attention to your voice." ”

"Ahem...... Uh-huh...... Well, good. Mori Xia's physical condition was about the same as Yukino's, he cleared his throat, and then he uttered syllables similar to Yukino's.

"My brother's voice is very good. Yukino smiled.

"That's it. ”

This is the voice that was praised by Nana Mizuki.,It's no wonder it's not good.。

"Well, alright, let's do some of the preparations. ”

Senxia nodded, then brushed her hair back to her head, and picked up a broom with her sister and began to clean.

The Toba Shrine is not very large, so it is not a problem for two people to clean it, and early in the morning, there are no people in this place, so the cleaning work is almost completed quickly, and at this time, the sun is gradually rising.

"Well, I feel like living at the shrine is good, and I can enjoy the scenery every day. Looking forward to a bamboo forest in front of him, Sen Xia sighed.

"Looks like you're completely used to it, brother. Yukino said with a smile.

"Eh, there are no outsiders anyway, and we're not doing strange things, why do we care so much?" Senxia even posed generously, and a charming smile appeared on his face.

"Well, that's good, because there will definitely be a lot of guests in a wait, and if my brother can get used to it, it will be much better to wait a minute. ”

Wait, what does it mean that there will be a lot of guests?

Senxia's smile froze.
