"Faith may or may not be important, but if Miss Alice is interested—ah, by the way, Alice is now a shrine maiden at Hakurei Shrine—would you like to come and study with me for a while?"

In the reception room, Yasaka Kanako, the main body of the god who was sitting in the middle of the seat, overheard my conversation with Sanae and filled three cups of hot tea while extending an unpleasant invitation to me. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you." But I wasn't going to drink it, and even after the simple breakfast and Sakiya's snacks, the morning tea had already made me hug me.

"I heard that Miss Alice wants to ask Sanae some questions." The god didn't care if I answered, but continued to ask.

"I just want to briefly ask about the experience of taking on the duties of a shrine maiden, such as the handling of daily things, the precautions for the management of shrines, the process of worshipping the gods, and so on."

Sanae: "Ah, speaking of which, I've heard that Hakurei Shrine doesn't worship specific gods. ”

Deity: "It seems that this is the case, but if it is said to be the incarnation of the dragon god, it is not true, and there is no specific idol set up at the Hakurei Shrine, and there is no actual process of worship that unites and forms a ceremony, so the so-called worship of the incarnation of the dragon god is probably just a guess on the part of the people." ”

Me: "Yes, is that so?" It's true that I've never seen Reimu perform a worship ceremony, and I haven't even seen or heard basic dances and greetings that play a role in communicating with the gods. Although this reduces the complexity of being a shrine maiden, it also feels a lot less fresh. ”

Sanae: "Miss Alice, that's not right, you should treat your own gods with a more respectful, serious, and pure attitude, and you can't establish an effective connection with the gods just by feeling new." ”

Me: "Sanae-sama has always emphasized that she is a fusuki and not a shrine maiden, so what's the difference?" ”

Sanae: "To put it simply, Zhu is the highest position under the gods, and you can communicate directly with the gods in a complicated way, Kanako-sama is the god of the wind, so I am called the wind Zhu, and the shrine maiden is a profession that can only make the gods appear in the heart through rituals such as dances and greetings, regardless of other factors, the shrine maiden is not the only priesthood in the shrine, and the zhu is the most noble and basically the only priesthood under a certain god belief. ”

Me: "Because before the arrival of Sanae-sama's family, there was only one shrine in Gensokyo, and I really didn't know much about Shinto, only that there was a shrine maiden in the shrine. ”

Deity: "In the Neo-Paleolithic period and at the beginning of the formation of agrarian civilization, the shamanic profession born out of primitive nature worship beliefs was roughly equivalent to Zhu, which represented the only individual or small group in a tribe that could communicate with the gods. As for the pattern of the Shinto system in groups formed by mortals, looking at the current bleak situation of Moriya Shrine with only two gods, one light and one dark, and one wind wish, there are really no examples to talk about. ”

Me: "Hah, I guess I understand. ”

Sanae: "Kanako-sama has been looking more and more like a learned person lately. ”

Should I complain about Miss Sanae's so-called more respectful, more serious, and purer attitude? Including the phrase "pick-up" that I heard when I first arrived at the shrine.

Deity: "This involves the practice of the gods. ”

Kanako didn't continue to talk deeply, I don't know if she was afraid that I was an outsider or Sanae who was too young.

Me: "Ah, I understand, although there are no specific steps and directions for the study and practice of magicians, the predecessors have still summed up some relatively complete theoretical systems for reference. I think there are some peculiarities in the practice of the gods. ”

Spirit: "Basically, that's what you can say. ”

Sanae: "Is there anything else Miss Alice would like to ask about the management of the shrine?" ”

Me: "I'd like to ask, 'How do I keep the cash box full?', but since Reimu has been a shrine maiden since she was a child, I don't think I have much hope of improving it. ”

Sanae: "Actually, it's not difficult, but the younger generation who are the pillars of the people today have gradually grown up and begun to get involved in all aspects of human affairs, such as farming and management, and they are not as afraid of yokai as the old people, and they have a very vague impression of Hakurei Shrine, as long as Miss Alice can sell a little bit of color in order to attract visitors......"

Me: "Ahhhh ”

Sanae: "Yes, it's a pity, I still have some experience in this area, although I don't dare to say that it is completely better than the monks of Meiren Temple......"

Me: "In Gensokyo, you can basically ignore the management issues, and the shrine maidens of Hakurei Shrine, which is a special nature, can also basically ignore the ritual issues, so it seems that there are really no more important aspects to pay attention to." ”

Spirit: "Although the time of settling in Gensokyo has only been a few years, and I dare not boast that I know more about Hakurei Shrine Maiden than Yakumo Murasaki, I think that the only thing that Hakurei Shrine Maiden needs to pay attention to is balance, and the maintenance of balance actually depends on the consciousness of all participants, and what Miko Maiden actually has to do is to suppress some youkai who are smart enough but still lack understanding." ”

Me: "Sounds pretty simple. ”

God: "Actually, it's very simple, the Witch of Hakurei doesn't need to care about the future development of Gensokyo, it's up to the youkai and the gods to consider this. ”

Sanae: "Does Kanako-sama care about this too?" ”

Spirit: "Of course, cultivation and living environment are always closely related, so I can't stay out of the situation and throw the responsibility on others." ”

Me: "It feels great. ”

Spirit: "No, the starting point is still for myself, but I really can't dissociate myself from the stable status quo that I have contributed to in the process. All in all, it can be said that it is the embodiment of goodness in practice, and the gods of human beings are supposed to be good. ”

Sanae: "That's it! ”

Is the meaning of Sanae's expression a judgment of approval or habitual echoing?

Me: "Well, it seems that most things don't really need to be thought about by the shrine maiden, although I didn't intend to worry too much about it, just a little curious. ”

Sanae: "I can't say that, for example, I have to take care of the daily life of the gods, take care of the physical growth of the gods, take care of the mental health of the gods, and so on." ”

Me: "But, my family...... For the time being, it can be regarded as my shrine, but there are no gods in it. ”

Sanae: "That's why Reimu's days are so comfortable that they don't grow at all." ”

Deity: "......"

Sanae: "I'm not talking about Kanako-sama, so please don't use that look." ”

Spirit: "No, I'm affirming Sanae's results. ”

I (changed the subject): "Speaking of which, the scenery of Yokai Mountain is really charming, compared to the Enchanted Forest, the natural atmosphere is more long and continuous, and the living environment is better. ”

Spirit: "Compared to Hakurei Shrine?" ”

Me: "It's halfway up the mountain, so it feels pretty much the same." ”

Spirit: "Going back to the first sentence, in order to learn more about the gods, shrines, and shrine maidens, would Miss Alice consider coming to me for a while?" ”

Sanae: "You're very welcome. ”

Me (after a moment): "After much thought, I think I probably can't stop the practice of the magician for the time being, because it's still a relatively shallow stage, and it doesn't matter if you understand it a little, but it's not appropriate to be distracted from studying other paths. ”

Spirit: "It also makes sense, although I would like Miss Alice to completely become a professional shrine maiden, but the key is my own will. ”

I (face up): "Among the people I met today, Miss Sakiya and Miss Bun were curious about what I was doing, but you and Sanae ignored it, why is that?" ”

Spirit: "It's actually easy to speculate about what happened, and when Yakumo Murasaki organized us to deduce the past and the future, it was enough to see the cause and effect of the incident itself, and the curious person is like a tengu reporter, she is not interested in what happened, but the hearts of Alice, Marisa, and Reimu." ”

Me: "That's true. ”

Gods: "Although the gods measure the hearts of men, they never look into the hearts of men. ”

Sanae: "Kanako-sama is super stylish! ”

I thought to myself, "This is one of the ways that the gods practice."

Spirit: "What about Sanae?" ”

Sanae: "Because Kanako-sama is my role model." ”

Me: "The master is the apprentice." ”

Spirit: "It occurred to me that Sanae should go on a trip to buy some fresh straw rope and come back." ”

Sanae: "Aren't there still a lot of them in the warehouse?" ”

Deity: "Because it wants to be fresh, the new statue of Suwako should be surrounded with fresh straw rope." ”

Sanae: "Fence it off? ”

Deity: "The other symbols of the gods, don't ask too much, go quickly." ”

Sanae stood up, "I just want to buy more vegetables and come back, so I'll ask Kanako-sama to entertain Miss Alice." ”

"Anyway, all the questions that should be asked have been asked, and they can't be solved, so don't worry about me." I waved to Sanae.

"By the way, Miss Alice's shrine maiden costume is very suitable."

"Yes, yes...... "Gensokyo is such a scary place.

ps:It seems useless to ask for clicks.,Then ask for a collection recommendation from a passing passer~~~.
