Chapter 172: A Different First Lesson (Asking for Subscriptions and Tickets!!)
"Ka-chan, I'm thinking about a very serious question, can you answer me seriously?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood side by side beside Yui Aragaki, looked ahead, and said in a serious tone.
Ka-chan skimmed him slightly, and saw his knife-like chin contour, handsome side face, I don't know if it was because of shyness or temperature, the originally smooth face suddenly turned slightly red.
"Well, you say. β
"I wonder why, on earth, there are so many people at Sensoji Temple!! am I still dreaming?!!"
The camera zooms out and I see Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki standing, located at the Kaminarimon Gate, the gate of Sensoji Temple.
However, the surroundings were full of people, crowded with people, so crowded that Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only stand side by side with Ka-chan in order not to be scattered by the crowd.
This is one of the most famous Hatsuga-ji temples in Tokyo, Sensoji Temple in Taito Ward!
On the first day of the new year, the neon people, the first thing to do is, the first time.
Hatsui is a traditional custom of the Japanese people.
In Japan, the first to the third day of January is called "δΈγζ₯", which refers to the first time of the year to visit a shrine or temple to pray for peace.
Since the Japanese New Year falls on the first day of January every year, the first day of the year is usually on the evening of December 31 or the morning of January 1.
The train is also very intimate, and it runs all night on the night of December 31st, making it easy for people to visit the temple.
Give the train staff a thumbs up!
From midnight on December 31. The monasteries are crowded with people at the gates, and police are often needed to maintain order.
And Sensoji Temple, where Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki are located, is not small.
Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo and one of Japan's most popular places to play.
The gate of Sensoji Temple is called "Kaminarimon", and the official name is "Wind and Thunder Gate", which is the face of Japan and the symbol of Asakusa.
Sensoji Temple is one of the most popular temples for the first worship every year, and needless to say, there are a lot of people who come to perform the first ceremony every year.
But, this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't know!
Because last year, during the Chinese New Year, he took a plane back to Nagasaki on the evening of December 31 to celebrate the New Year.
Even if he was a beginner, he went to the famous local Sofukuji Temple in Nagasaki City with his family to make a New Year's pilgrimage, and compared to Tokyo, there is still a big gap, at least in terms of the number of residents.
Therefore, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has not experienced the scene of crowding people during the New Year in Tokyo, at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi reluctantly stood in front of the door of Sensoji Temple with Ka-chan, looked at the countless beginners around him, and asked the question just now.
But what he didn't know was that when he heard that the question he asked was not the kind of question he was thinking, Ka-chan suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, and pinched Sakamoto Kiyoshi's cheek with his hand.
"Generation (so painful)!Ka-chan, what are you doing??!"
Covering his pinched cheeks, Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned his head and looked at Yui Aragaki in confusion.
I saw Ka-chan open her big eyes with a cute face, looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and said, "Didn't you say that you want to know if you are dreaming? β
"Huh?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi looked confused.
"Does it hurt?" Ka-chan continued to ask with a look of adority.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Sakamoto replied with a nod of his head, looking at him like a student who was afraid of being lectured by a teacher.
"It's right that it hurts, so you're not dreaming right now. Well, that's it. β
"Oh, I see. Kiyoshi Sakamoto also sighed a little "suddenly".
Seeing the stupid appearance of Sakamoto Kiyoshi who hadn't reacted yet, Ka-chan couldn't hold back at this time, and laughed out loud with a "poof".
She was pretending to be cute, but she burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Baga! Qingjun is a big Baga!"
Looking at Ka-chan, who changed his face in a second, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was still confused, and he didn't know what Ka-chan was laughing at.
"What do you mean?"
After a while, he realized that this was Ka-chan with a black belly, and he took the opportunity to pinch his face, so he would say such a theory that "pain means it's not a dream".
Damn! I was tricked by her...
Kiyoshi Sakamoto could only watch speechlessly, already holding his stomach, bowing his head and laughing at Ka-chan.
"How do I feel that this Okinawan giantess, who is called his wife by later generations, is not kawaii at all, and is still so black-bellied? Is she too floating, or I can't hold a knife?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was thinking about this in his heart, could only let Yui Aragaki finish laughing before continuing to walk inside Sensoji Temple together.
Oh, you may ask, didn't you say that the Sakamoto family and the Aragaki family came to Sensoji Temple together? Why are there only two people now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki?
The reason is very simple, because he was scattered by the crowd just now, Sakamoto Kiyoshi could only pull Ka-chan who was next to him, so it caused the current situation where the soldiers were divided into two ways.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki are in a group, and Sakamoto's parents take a little wind and are with Aragaki parents.
Fortunately, before arriving at Sensoji Temple, the two families made an appointment, so if they dispersed on the way, don't be afraid, just go to the main hall and gather.
Originally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know why he had made such an appointment with the meeting place, as if it had already been calculated and would disperse.
However, when it was here, he realized that this foresight was too accurate.
Therefore, after being pushed aside by the crowd of worshippers, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Ka-chan also made their way to the agreed meeting place, the main hall, with difficulty.
After passing through the gate of Sensoji Temple, the two of them came to the Nakamise shopping street.
On both sides of the road are rows of large and small shops that have been handed down from the Edo period.
Nakamise Shopping Street sells a variety of souvenirs and auspicious items, as well as some of the must-have items for the New Year, such as magic arrows, windmills, and rakes for fortune.
However, now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Ka-chan do not have this leisure to visit the shopping street, because they first go to the main hall and pray to the gods, and then perform the first activities such as lottery, bell ringing, and amulets.
Looking at the shopping street that was still crowded, Kiyoshi Sakamoto frowned slightly.
"Hold on to my arm and don't let go, otherwise, you will be taken away, and I won't be able to save you." β
Kiyoshi Sakamoto turned around, looked at Ka-chan, and said to her with a serious face.
Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's serious face, Yui Aragaki also knew that now was not the time to joke, so he nodded very obediently and said, "Well, I know." β
At this time, Ka-chan seems to be the same person as the black giant Lori who shook her belly just now.
Cute and well-behaved carrying Sakamoto Kiyoshi's arm, Aragaki Yui, at this time, it was revealed, she was only seventeen years old, the age of the flower season.
Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt a force coming from his right arm, and he also looked back, but found that Ka-chan was carrying his arm, and he was instantly stunned.
Finding Sakamoto standing in a daze, not advancing, Ka-chan also asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was woken up by Ka-chan's question, also quickly replied, "Oh, it's okay, let's go." β
Then, like a couple, the girl took the boy's arm and leaned slightly towards the boy, struggling to break through the crowd.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two seem to be a good match.
However, it was the boy with the glasses, who was a little familiar.
That's right, when I came to Sensoji Temple for the first time, I didn't forget to disguise myself, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was wearing a hat and black-rimmed glasses, was careful and careful when traveling now.
If anyone recognizes that the boy who was held by Aragaki Yui on his arm is the "National Little Male God" and "Little King of Music" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, then tomorrow's neon major media and magazine entertainment pages will be Sakamoto Kiyoshi's news.
Even if it's not in love, if you are photographed holding your arms with a girl, the rooftops of major schools may be overcrowded.
Why?
Kiyoshi Sakamoto's female fans, junior high school and high school girls are going to dance!
Idols are with other women, and there is nothing to love!!
(Just kidding, kidding...) οΌ
However, because it was the first day of the new year, people focused on the first event, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's disguise was still good, and he was not recognized on the way to the main hall, which also made Sakamoto Kiyoshi secretly relieved.
γγγγγγ
After Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Ka-chan broke through the crowd together, when they came to the meeting place of the main hall, they found that both families were waiting for the two of them.
After reuniting with the family, the group officially began the New Year's ceremony.
First of all, everyone goes to the main hall to worship and pray to the deity Kannon, and then they draw lots to capture the proverbs of God and Avalokiteshvara to you.
Shake the lottery holder first, and after shaking out the number, go to find the signature according to the number.
The signature is a Chinese poem with a Japanese explanation.
According to the auspicious evil, the sign is divided into five levels: big auspicious, small auspicious, auspicious, small malevolent, and big male.
Of course, if you draw a good lot of good luck, of course, it's the best, but if you draw a lot that you are not satisfied with, such as a small evil or a big one, don't be afraid, as long as you tie the lot to the tree, you can turn evil into good luck.
At Sensoji Temple, there is a courtyard where people can tie their signatures, and the trees that can be tied or hung with sticks are all hung with these white slips of paper, and there is an endless stream of tourists who pray for blessings.
Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not a person who believes in the gods and Buddhas so much, he still closes his eyes and prays in front of the main deity Kannon in the main hall.
Holding the lottery he had drawn, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know what to do, so he just stood by the lottery tube in a daze.
And when Aragaki Yui saw him like this, she was also very curious about what lot he had drawn, so she came to his side and looked at the signature he was holding.
"The First Good !!"
