Chapter 192: The First Meeting
"Actually, I ......"
Tetsuko Amamiya hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to say it or not:
"Actually, I ......"
Eventually, she gritted her teeth:
"I would like to pray to Lord Beenjin, can you revise the Ise Taisha Shrine's rule that the Pure Rank Great Priest cannot marry or fall in love."
This is one of the things that bothers Tetsuko Amamiya a lot.
Priest, in essence, is a profession.
It's like when she wanted to leave, she submitted a "resignation application" and nothing else.
The priest goes from the lowest straight level to the highest pure level, and at present, only the pure level requires that you can't fall in love, and everyone else is not affected.
Of course, this is not a requirement of the living zone.
Rather, it is the tradition of Ise Taisha Shrine itself.
Tetsuko Amamiya didn't understand:
Even if you are in a normal relationship, it won't affect following the gods, right?
But this was the tradition that all the previous Pure Rank Great Priests followed, and she had no reason to change it at will, and she couldn't find enough strength to support it.
Today, I finally have this rare opportunity.
So be sure to speak up.
As for being promoted to the 5th rank or something, you can go to the back row.
Musashino was stunned:
It's been a long time, that's it......
I thought it was some kind of strange request.
He thought about it carefully, and indeed realized the fact that he had never noticed before: Uchiki no Suke, Asano Manaku, and Tetsuko Amamiya were basically the same generation.
They are all around 100 years old.
But the first two are already married.
Although Uchi looks like he is only about thirty years old, he is still a cardinal, but in fact, even his great-grandson is in progress.
Only Tetsuko Amamiya seems to be alone all the time.
Musashino originally thought:
She just likes Dink, and she even refuses to fall in love.
The result is that it is framed by this rule.
Cough~
Musashino cleared his throat.
Tetsuko Amamiya's heart instantly rose to her throat.
"Actually......
"Bestenjin-sama has long known that you are going to make this request, so I have ordered me to convey to you that the rules of Ise Taisha are conventional.
It is not the same as His own will.
"So, you can consider this rule and start revising it yourself."
Whew-
She breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the other gods-sama already knew what was going on in my heart......
It deserves to be Him!
Perhaps, like us believers, every moment of what he thinks and thinks, he is clear and clear?
Come to think of it this way...... I'm a little embarrassed.
Wrong.
What's there to be embarrassed about?
Bepta Tenjin is a god.
It doesn't matter if he sees through our thoughts, he only has divinity in him, and he doesn't laugh at us, and maybe he doesn't even have the slightest idea.
"Thank you for your magnanimity."
Tetsuko Amamiya bowed deeply to the empty throne above.
Musashino breaks the topic back:
"The adults agreed to it just now, so it's not a prayer.
"You have one more chance."
Tetsuko Amamiya thought about it seriously:
"Hmmm......"
Her desire had always been to be promoted to the 5th rank, but the situation facing the Survival Zone was quite chaotic and it was not suitable for her to concentrate on promotion.
So we have to put it off a bit.
It can only be said that the old Uchi chose the time well.
It just so happened that on the eve of the Wasteland Tide, the promotion was completed.
"Mr. Musashino.
"Although you have cleared most of the wasteland, considering the large number of opponents, the Transcendent Realm still cannot be idle, and Ise Taisha has taken on a lot of tasks recently.
"So......
"I would like to pray that Beholden-sama will descend on the protection of the gods, so that the staff of Ise Taisha Shrine can have more hope of surviving when facing the wasteland."
That's it?
That's right!
Musashino nodded:
"I'll convey it to Besama Tenjin, and when you return to Ise Taisha Shrine, you can start the Kagura Dance Festival and ask all the members to pray for His response."
Kagura dance is a traditional event of Ise Taisha Shrine.
Legend has it that through this collective ritual, one can communicate with the gods.
Of course.
In the past, this kind of sacrificial dance was a classic performance for tourists.
"Good!
"I'll go get ready."
……
Ise Taisha Shrine, Tetsuko Amamiya's soul returns to its essence.
"Whew—
"Don't be a god-sama, are you finally going to perform a miracle?"
She was excited.
The psychology is also a little bottomless.
After all, Ise Taisha has been considered a tourist attraction for the past 100 years, and most of the staff at the shrine also believe that:
There is no such thing as a god.
It's just a remarkable organization with a relatively good working environment.
"I don't know what will happen......"
Although Tetsuko Amamiya has seen "other gods".
But he has never received his gift.
His Gift......
Is it rich, or is it relatively conservative?
This is very important.
This grant is equivalent to the first "meeting" of the Bestenjin to face the world, or to the believers in the living area, and it directly depends on the future of Ise Taisha Shrine......
Or even the development of belief in other gods.
Whew-
She calmed down:
"Adults naturally have a decision, and it's not my turn to worry."
Soon, she gathered all the staff and came to the front of the main hall.
Judging from everyone's expressions, it seems that they are a little confused.
"The crisis in the survival area is imminent, and everyone needs to participate in the front line of the fight against the wasteland, so today, we are holding a kagura dance festival......
"Pray for the protection of the gods."
Well?
Someone whispered:
"Today isn't an open day in Ise......"
Due to the wasteland tide, most of the public facilities in the survival area are in a semi-standstill state.
Tourist attractions, of course, are also closed.
"Why do you suddenly want to do Kagura?"
"It could be a dress rehearsal."
"But don't we all have to fight the wasteland, why rehearse such a show......
On the right side of the altar.
An old man stood quietly.
He is the priest of the Ming rank of the Ise Taisha Shrine, and his position is second only to Tetsuko Amamiya.
The old man frowned slightly.
Recently, he always felt that Tetsuko Amamiya was different from before, but he couldn't tell what had changed, which made him wonder:
Isn't that the other god-sama......
It's incredible though.
But he always believed that such a miracle might happen one day.
Cough!
The old priest coughed heavily:
"Quiet!"
His voice was loud and immediately suppressed all the chatter.
"Since the Rain Palace Priest has an order, we just need to do it."
"Good!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
Discussion is discussion, in the final analysis, Tetsuko Amamiya is their leader and top boss, and there is nothing to question about this matter.
Soon, the Kagura bell rang.
According to the previous drills, everyone completed this sacrifice very skillfully.
Whoop -
At the end of the ceremony, Tetsuko Amamiya held Kagura Bell high above her head:
"Don't Tenjin-sama.
"I beg you to grant Ise Taisha a blessing that will allow it to be permanently stable in the midst of chaos."
She closed her eyes.
I was nervous.
What is the gift of adults?
The front of the altar was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for Tetsuko Amamiya to announce the end of the ceremony as usual.
In the spiritual world, Amamiya saw the majestic figure wearing a golden face and pointed at him from afar.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, some energy and information appeared in the body at the same time.
Tetsuko Amamiya's eyes widened:
"It's ......"
