"Hmm~"

"Sorry to wake you up." Qin Heqing said apologetically.

"What time is it?" Hinasaki Fukaha asked in a vague tone.

"It's half past four." Qin Heqing reached out and reached for the phone, looking at the time displayed on it.

"Why so early." Hinsaki Fukaha wondered.

"Today is the first day of the new year, and there may be some particularly devout believers who come to the shrine to pay their respects, so I need to go there early to prepare." Qin Heqing said and turned over and got off the ground, "You continue to sleep, don't pay attention to me." ”

"Hmm."

Then Qin Heqing turned around and entered the bathroom, began to wash up in the morning, then changed into a priest's uniform, and left the house with the portable breakfast prepared by Ayukawa and rushed to the shrine.

"Looks like we're early." Inside the shrine, looking at the shrine that was empty and still shrouded in the unbright night, Qin Heqing exhaled and said.

"That's not just right, it's convenient for you to prepare in advance." Yue'er said.

"Yes."

Immediately, Qin Heqing did not hesitate, and immediately beckoned Shang Yue'er, Ayukawa, and Yunu to clean up the shrine, clean the floating ash, wipe the palace, and take out the omamori (talisman), Ema, spirit lot, and some other shrine goods that may be used later, and put them under the counter of the sales house one by one, providing convenience for those who don't know how long it will take to arrive.

And it was very fast, and in just a moment, all these affairs were processed, and Qin Heqing was able to calm down, return to the sales house, take out his mobile phone, and pass the rest of the time by watching the NICONICO video.

An hour later.

"It seems that the reputation of our shrine is not as good as those big shrines and temples that are well-known throughout the country." Seeing that there was still no pilgrim arrival, Qin Heqing sighed a little disappointed.

"Isn't that a matter of course? How many years has the shrine been opened, how many years has the Qin shrine been opened, and the publicity and operation of the only year want to catch up with the reputation accumulation of those big shrines and temples for decades or even hundreds of years, are you floating, or do you think those pilgrims are stupid? Thinking that showing a little special place can convince everyone that the Qin Clan Shrine is stronger than them? Yue'er, who was sitting on the low stool on the side, rolled her eyes angrily and said.

"Isn't it?" Qin Heqing asked rhetorically.

"Then people don't think: Since there are such powerful priests in a shrine like the Qin Shrine, which is not well-known and has no origin, will there be more powerful monks and priests in large shrines and temples like Meiji Jingu, Sensoji Temple, and Asakusa Inari Shrine?" Yue'er cross-examined.

“……”

Not to mention, it's really possible.

"So, keep up the good work. Running a shrine is not something that can be achieved simply through clever propaganda methods. Yue'er said in a faint voice.

Although there is no publicity, the effect of relying solely on word-of-mouth between people to promote it is not as good as Qin Heqing's current propaganda method.

"Ugh." Qin Heqing sighed, and for a moment, he felt that the small video in his hand had become unfragrant. I had to put down my phone and hugged the rain girl in my arms, "Sure enough, only the child treasure will not live up to my ......"

Yue'er looked at him speechlessly, turned her head and continued to stare at her phone, out of sight.

Ayukawa walked to the side with a sneer, grabbed the broom in the shrine, and cleaned it up in the shrine as if it were in shape.

Anyway, the shrine maiden costume she wears now, so there's no problem with saying that she's a shrine maiden at all.

After more than an hour, almost half past six and almost seven o'clock, a family of four finally appeared at the torii gate of the shrine and walked into the shrine with brisk steps.

……

And the arrival of this family of four also seemed to open a certain signal, more and more people appeared outside the shrine, one after another, one after another, and even gradually began to line up on the street outside the shrine!

This is something that was never seen during last year's New Year!

From this, it can be seen that Qin Heqing has been on TV to shoot programs in the past year, and he has established an official website for his own shrine, and his efforts to undertake various tasks of retreating and exorcism have not been in vain, and they have really achieved results.

Otherwise, even if someone comes to the shrine, most of them are the families of the merchants who support the group near the shrine and the neighboring residents around it, so for the sake of the neighbors, they come to express their hearts and want to be like this?

Hehe......

And as time went by, some worshippers who were not expected by Qin Heqing, but who were reasonable when you think about it, also appeared in the shrine-

For example, Qin Heqing's classmates Ryoko Gomi's family, and Ryoko Gomi's best friend, Miri Nakayama and Mumi Fujishima.

Qin and Kiyo's suitor, Shizuka Kazama.

Qin and Kiyoshi's girlfriend, Megumi Kato and Shiha Kasumigaoka.

and those star customers that Qin Heqing has come into contact with - Ryoko Hirosue, Hikaru Mitsushima, Yuki Kashiwagi, etc.

The pilgrims who came to the shrine were pleasantly surprised, and they came forward to ask for autographs and group photos, which made the order of the shrine a little chaotic.

Fortunately, the problem is not very big, and Qin Heqing has enough manpower, so it will be solved after a little persuasion.

But on the Internet, the movement of the shrine caused an uproar, making countless fans move their fingers and regret it, so they couldn't help but change their itinerary and rushed to the shrine.

As a result, the more in the afternoon, the more strange pilgrims came to the shrine to pay their respects, making Qin Heqing more and more busy......

Even the mind of paying attention to Megumi Kato and Shiyu Kasumigaoka is gone.

Yes, Megumi Kato and Shiha Kasumigaoka.

After the visit, the two did not leave, but like Shizuka Kazama, they stayed directly in the shrine, and they also called it help?

But how can there be a helper who always has a gun and a stick between words?

So Qin Heqing was very anxious, and he couldn't wait to directly pull the two of them into the side hall of the shrine to suppress them on the spot.

Unfortunately, no!

Although he does have the ability and strength, things can't do it. Megumi Kato and Shiyu Kasumigaoka are not monsters, where is the reason for using force to suppress them?

Not to mention that the core of the problem itself is still on him, if there is no solution to the best of both worlds, who knows what will turn into in the end?

Anyway, Qin Heqing didn't dare to imagine it.

But now it's okay, he doesn't have the mind, so he can rest assured for a while.

But it's only for a while, and in the end, we still have to face it well, but there is no way to escape it.

……

In this way, hours passed in a flash, and the time came to the evening, half past five in the afternoon.

"Whew, I'm tired." Qin Heqing sat on the chair in the sales house, looked at the three of them who looked somewhat tired on the side, Megumi Kato, Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Shizuka Kazama, and said, "You guys are also tired for a day, take a rest, and then we will go out to eat, I will have a treat." ”

"Nothing was a problem with eating. Just before that, do you have something to say? Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at Shizuka Kazama, who was not a threat to her, and looked at Qin Heqing with her arms crossed.
