Chapter 546: After the Ritual Sacrifice
The whole process lasted three or four minutes, and the ritual part inside the shrine was announced, and the stage of the shrine parade began.
So the next moment, the staff who had been watching for a long time walked quickly to the god placed next to the stage, squatted down and held the bar, Qin Heqing, who had been prepared for a long time, hugged the god nunnery placed on the temporary altar erected on the stage, walked to the god po, put the god nunnery into the palace erected above the sedan platform in the middle of the god po, closed the palace door, turned around and retreated.
"Kamiyama Palace!" Qin Heqing stood on the side of the god and shouted loudly in front of him.
"Get up!"
"Hey!"
Then, all the staff worked together to lift the god up.
"The gods are on patrol!"
Then, all the personnel walked out of the shrine with the shrine in their hands, and began to parade through the streets......
Of course, it doesn't really mean to walk every street. After all, although Shinza City is not big, there are twenty or thirty large and small streets, with a total length of dozens of kilometers.
So you need to choose the street according to the actual situation -
For example, in front of the shrine and the main road leading to the shrine is indispensable, and it is necessary for the shrine to walk through the streets. Then there is the street that leads to the shopping street and the shops of the support groups.
After all, people have helped, and it is not okay not to take care of them.
Therefore, although the number of streets is smaller, the distance has not decreased much, so it is estimated that it will not be easy until 3 p.m. to walk down the circle.
But no problem, who called Qin Heqing to eat this bowl of rice, so even if he didn't want to, he had to follow......
And, of course, Megumi Kato.
As the chosen shrine maiden, she can't escape the task of following the gods through the streets, so the blessings and misfortunes lurk, and I don't know if it's good or bad for her to participate in this festival as a pure shrine maiden.
……
A few hours later, at 3:40 p.m., the whole parade ended, and the festival officially ended.
All the staff went home, and only Qin Kazukiyo and Megumi Kato and Rumina Takamori, a part-time witch, existed in the entire shrine.
Fortunately, the desk staff had already helped to disassemble it before leaving, and the gods were also separated to help move to the place where they usually stayed, so there was no follow-up sweeping work to be busy, and there was nothing to do after a simple cleanup, and everyone sat down by the sales house together.
"That's the end of it?" Rumina Takamori looked at the shrine that had suddenly stopped, and said a little uncomfortable, "No festival activities? ”
"Nope. My house is not a large shrine, and the location is a little far away from the shopping street, and it is not a holiday before and after, so even if you barely get the festival event, it is more than worth the loss for the participating businesses, so instead of spending that effort, it is better to end it directly. Qin Heqing explained with a smile.
"Then you made such a big formation in the morning, I thought it would be more lively in the evening." Rumina Takamori said regretfully.
"After all, it's a ritual sacrifice, even if it's a show, it can't be too shabby, right." After a pause, Qin Heqing looked at Kato Megumi again, who had changed back into the regular clothes he was wearing when he came, "I'm tired." ”
"A little. It feels like my legs aren't my own. Megumi Kato said tiredly, tapping her calf lightly.
"Then it seems that your physical strength still needs to be practiced, come, I'll help you rub it." Qin Heqing moved the stool to Megumi Kato and sat down, laughed and laughed, and then reached out and grabbed Megumi Kato's calf.
"No, I'll ...... it myself"
"What else are you polite with me?" Qin Heqing couldn't help but say. Then he grabbed Megumi Kato's calf, put it on his lap, and gently rubbed it with his hand.
"Hey, can you two pay attention a little bit? You know, there is a single person next to you, and such a carefree forced feeding of dog food will cause resentment. Seeing this, Rumina Takamori looked at the two of them speechlessly, and shouted.
"Then you can just go and resent it, anyway, I am a priest, and I am blessed by the gods, and this is what I am not afraid of." Qin Heqing said proudly.
“…… Okay, then you can play by yourself, I don't want to be abused here anymore, I'm going to change my clothes. With that, Rumina Takamori got up, found her clothes and took them to the side hall to change.
"He Qingjun, don't do this next time, I feel, I said a little shyly." Megumi Kato's cheeks flushed slightly, and she rushed at Qin He Kiyomichi, who was helping her rub her legs.
"Then I'll pay attention next time." Hearing this, Qin Heqing turned his head and smiled at Kato Megumi, and responded with an obvious lack of sincerity in his words.
Suddenly, Megumi Kato was speechless, and had to accept Qin Heqing's domineering and enjoy it silently.
"I'm leaving." Rumina Takamori who has changed her clothes.
"Well, be careful on the road." Qin Heqing responded.
After that, Qin and Qing stayed at the shrine for a while, then got up and said, "Let's go too." ”
"Hmm."
Following the two of them out of the shrine, they went to Qin Heqing's house, where they stayed for a while, mainly to change out of the priest's uniform, and to put away the shrine maiden ritual costumes and ornaments that they had lent to Megumi Kato, and then left the house again and took the subway back to Tokyo. Sending Megumi Kato home, Hato and Kiyoshi diverted to the Shinkansen train station and took the nearest Shinkansen to Kyoto.
……
Almost three hours later, Qin and Qing arrived in Kyoto without a hitch.
Without too much browsing, I found a taxi near the train station and let the other party drive me to the hotel I booked with my mobile phone on the way here, and then checked in at the front desk to complete the official check-in.
"Let's go down and eat." Qin Heqing, who had taken a brief rest, got up and said.
"Why don't you get in touch with the Qin family?" Yue'er asked suspiciously.
"It's not too late to get in touch later. If it's too early, I'll be dragged over to socialize, and I don't want to spend extra time on that kind of thing. Qin Heqing explained.
"In that case, what's the point of you coming to this festival?" Yue'er rolled her eyes and said.
"At least I'm on the surface, the people on the Qin family's side will know that there is a person like me, and if there is really an intersection in the future, it won't even be a fight without even figuring out who it is." Qin Heqing said with a smile.
"What you said is simple, there are so many people at the festival, who can know which number one you are?"
"I know, but who says I don't like to socialize? Especially with some old men who are complete strangers, I really can't handle it. Qin Heqing spread his hands helplessly.
"Whatever you want, anyway, in your situation, as long as you are not willing to fall, the Qin family will not give up on you easily, and it doesn't matter if you are a maverick, on the contrary, it may make them more attentive to you. After all, what you can't get is always exciting. ”
