"Aramura-san, when it comes to Itsukushima Shrine, what is your first impression?" A staff member asked Takuya Aramura, who was standing in front of the camera.

"Not impressed."

"Wait, is it [not impressive]?"

"Hmm."

Takuya Aramura glanced at the staff a little strangely, why is there such a fuss? I've never been to it, and I've never heard of such a shrine.

"Aramura-kun..."Miyuki Sawanari was already so hot from yesterday's face that her voice was not as good as before, "You're like this... I'm going to lose fans in Hiroshima..."

"Yes," Tanaka Rino echoed weakly.

"It's just an impression, why is it so?" Without the noise of the two in his ears, Takuya Aramura also felt a trace of pleasure and satisfaction.

Sawacheng Miyuki looked at him with a hint of "you are not saved", and said: "People like you must have no friends." ”

"You can do anything." Takuya Aramura waved his hand, "Hurry up and go to the shrine." ”

…

"This is Fujiwara Oura, the Goniyaji of Itsukushima Shrine, and the priest there." The planner pointed to a middle-aged man wearing a white hunting suit, a black hat, and a somewhat solemn face.

"Do you know Priest Fujiwara and Fujiwara Xun-san from our office?" Rino Tanaka asked with some curiosity.

"Fujiwara Xun is my brother." Fujiwara Oura nodded, "He is from the Fujiwara clan in Tokyo, and I am from the Hiroshima family, and I have had a few encounters with him at the family's cocktail party, and he asked me to meet you." ”

"All in all, today the three of them will be led to the shrine by Priest Fujiwara." The planner took the rolled-up program plan and pointed to the big torii standing in the sea in the distance.

"The torii gate is the entrance to the realm of the gods, and it is used to distinguish the realm of the gods from the human world." Fujiwara Oura looked at the torii with a reverent look in his eyes, "The large torii gate of our shrine is surrounded by the waters of the Seto Inland Sea at high tide, and at low tide, it slowly emerges from the ground, and people can feel its majesty up close. ”

"It's not the right time for the three of you to come, and when the sea recedes a few days ago, you can go and touch the pillars of the torii gate, it can bring people's wishes to Takamagahara."

"Okay, it's useless to talk too much, so please come with me and enter the shrine."

Itsukushima Shrine was built on an island called Itsukushima, which required a boat to get there, and the wealthy sponsor directly chartered an entire boat for the three to cross the sea.

Takuya Aramura was lying on the railing of the cruise ship, as if no one was around to browse the surrounding scenery.

The familiar sound of footsteps rang in his ears.

Rino Tanaka was lying on the edge of the guardrail, two positions away from him, "Takuya." ”

"Huh?"

"You've changed a lot, you didn't feel it at first, but now that you think about it, it's like you've changed as a person." Rino Tanaka said with some emotion.

"Humans are fickle creatures." Takuya Aramura thinks so, after all, he is not "Takuya Aramura".

As the owner of the late-night cafeteria said, he is just a lonely soul wandering around.

Rino Tanaka suddenly turned his head and stared at his eyes, his eyes were extremely sharp, "Are you really Takuya?" ”

"It's not a practice room, it's not a recording studio." Takuya Aramura didn't dodge either, just stared at her without even blinking his eyes.

On the contrary, Tanaka Rino was stared at a little uncomfortable, and his eyes began to look over Takuya Aramura, looking at the mountain behind him, and then he had to say, "Wow, Takuya, look, the mountain behind you is so good." ”

Takuya Aramura turned his head to see that there was a bare stone mountain, only sparse dead grass, where was it beautiful? The way you divert your attention is a little too stiff.

The boat began to slowly come to shore.

Takuya Aramura raised his chin at Rino Tanaka, who was still pretending to admire the stone mountain, "Let's go, if you really like it, you can watch it when you come back." ”

"Oh..."

When you arrive at Itsukushima, the first thing you see is this shrine, and from a distance you can see many people visiting under the guidance of shrine maidens.

"A few of you will go with me to clean your hands with a water bowl first, and then go to the worship hall to pay respects." Fujiwara Oura is upright with his already very upright hat.

Takuya Aramura, who originally wanted to walk around the shrine, could only follow him to a hand bowl on the left side of the worship hall.

He reached over to the pool, and Fujiwara Oura took a bamboo water scoop and slowly poured it on his hand, "The gods are most disgusted by filthy things, and washing your hands can purify your heart, and this is also to show respect for the gods." ”

"Aramura-kun, open your mouth."

"Huh?" Takuya Aramura is also a little unclear.

"There is also filth in the mouth, and it needs to be cleaned."

“…”

"Open your mouth."

Takuya Aramura, who brushes his teeth every morning and evening, finally poured a mouthful of water and rinsed his mouth at Fujiwara Oura's repeated requests.

He could now see that this priest was a fanatical religious person, and he could understand a thing or two from the fact that he was tidying up his clothes when he entered the shrine and forcing him to rinse his mouth.

After washing their hands and rinsing their mouths, Fujiwara Oura bowed slightly to a few people and said, "I still have some affairs to deal with at the shrine, and I will take you on a tour next by my niece Rika, she is a shrine maiden, and I will be with you first." ”

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this Fujiwara Oura's aura was too strong, overwhelmed, and it was too serious to be serious, and it was a surprise for everyone that he could leave.

"Huh-" The planner's originally tense face instantly relaxed, "What kind of person did Fujiwara-san arrange, and what else did he say that because he was a relative, he could reduce his expenses, it was simply torturous." ”

He whistled at the torii gate on the boat for a while, and was caught red-handed by Fujiwara Oura and educated all the way.

"This gentleman, do you have any opinion on my uncle?"

The planner was taken aback, clutched his chest, and whispered to the witch who didn't know where he came from: "Girl, don't show up without making a sound!" My heart is bad! ”

"I'm sorry." The shrine maiden bowed her head and apologized without sincerity, "I'm Fujiwara Rika, the shrine maiden of the shrine, and I will take you to visit the shrine next under the instructions of my uncle, and if you offend, please forgive me." ”

Takuya Aramura looked over, Rika Fujiwara was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was not very good-looking, but her witch costume and indifferent temperament that did not match her added a lot of color to her.

He thought about it again, among the people he had known since he crossed over to the present, from the forty-year-old Fujiwara Xun to the twenty-one-year-old Sakura Rinne, none of them could compare to this half-old child who was calm and calm.

"Ahaha, no, no." The planner hurriedly waved his hand, his face full of embarrassed and stiff smiles.

What's going on! It makes no difference at all if you change it!

"Everyone, please come with me to the temple."

Fujiwara Rika turned around and walked in the direction of the worship hall, regardless of whether the people in the program team followed or not.

"Well~ The personality of this little witch is somewhat similar to that of Aramura-kun~" Miyuki Sawanari glanced at the back of Rika Fujiwara and said to Takuya Aramura with a smile.

"Perhaps."

"You guy, why are you always like this?" Sawanari Miyuki rolled her eyes, pulled Tanaka Rino and said, "Rino, tell me about him, is there anyone who treats his predecessors like this?" ”

Before Tanaka Rino could speak, Takushi Aramura followed in the footsteps of Rika Fujiwara, ignoring the two of them.
