122. Doubts of patients with cleanliness fetishness
Shrines in Japan are symbols of indigenous Shinto culture.
This is a very classic polytheistic sect, they believe that everything in the world can be gods, such as the sun, the moon, mountains, rivers, and even the emperor, shogun, and even foxes, frogs, and cats have shrines dedicated to them.
Even the bathroom can have a great god......
Of course, for constipation patients, believing in a letter is absolutely not a big problem, and it may even be the psychological placebo that saves them.
Despite being a time-traveler, Chihara still thinks that the three people around her want to rely on the shrine and the so-called gods to help them escape their doom......
Too naΓ―ve, not too scientific.
Even if Mr. Chihara, as a student of Tokyo, repeatedly dissuaded them from insisting on feudal superstition, he just didn't listen to it, insisting that a visit to the shrine would wash away the bad luck and misfortune on his body, and by the way, he made another wish and prayed for a complete victory in the next event.
If it was really that useful, Mr. Chihara would have gone to buy horse tickets and made a fortune a long time ago.
The trio forcibly harassed them by phone, pulling out Mr. Chihara, who they thought was very lucky, and adding another layer of buff to their trip.
Fortunately, some people still have a conscience, and Chihara still got a can of Coca-Cola as a reward for this event's mission.
Walk with your feet on the long approach outside Meiji Jingu.
The tired teenager holds a can of Coke and finds a prime spot not far from the mouth of the Japanese fountain in the shrine, ready to rest for a while.
He crossed Erlang's legs and looked around with interest.
Spring is in full bloom, and the seedlings are blooming.
This spring, as ever, there are no surprises, no surprises, and even more pitiful is that there is no lazy sleep today.
If he could, Mr. Chihara would like to spend every beautiful morning quietly wrapped in the quilt, curled up in the quilt and the warm bed, not thinking or thinking, emptying his brain, and thinking about nothing.
It's a pity.
Things do not turn out the way you want.
The man leaned back in silence and tilted his head slightly.
Although it was still relatively early, there were already a lot of people gathered around the shrine.
Lift your eyes up.
The audience is full of handsome guys and beautiful women in pairs, holding hands, extremely affectionate. Dressed up in a beautiful fashion, holding her hair, she slowly climbs the stone stairs in the company of her family or boyfriend, and passes the torii gate at a high place.
Just looking at it makes the old members of the FFF regiment feel upset.
Fortunately, everyone is still following the basic order, and occasionally one or two special ones do not affect others.
Those happy couples and couples were very comfortable, but it seemed that the lonely young man on the seat was so independent, and he opened his mouth slightly and was a little dazed.
Should I have walked to the shrine with Nobunaga and the others?
It feels really embarrassing to be out there by yourself like this now.
Extremely bored, he looked up at the sign, which happened to be the introduction of Meiji Jingu.
Japanese mythology claims to say that there were eight million gods in Takamagahara. But according to the analysis of the knowledgeable students of the East University, due to too many people going through the back door, a lot of gods were forcibly stuffed into one department after another, which directly led to the bloated structure of the god system and the establishment of many unnecessary priesthoods, so there are also many various shrines corresponding to the post, those who seek marriage, those who seek careers, those who seek studies, those who seek big fat sons, and of course, there are gods who have overlapping and conflicting functions due to business expansion......
It can be called redundant officials.
Of course, there are also those shrines that are not quite right.,For example, ask the person you like and the current person to break up so that you can take advantage of it......
What an evil god! False gods!
Mortal enemies of our warriors of pure love!
He still hasn't forgotten the hatred of being killed by the Minotaur that day, which was the shame of his life......
The three old men have already entered the door, and Chihara, who regrets that he has become a joke in the eyes of lovers, slowly stands up and prepares to pass, but unfortunately there seems to be a rule in Japan:
Before praying to the gods, you must perform "Mitarai".
It probably means washing your hands and washing your mouth in the fountain pool outside the door as a sign of respect for the gods.
Of course, there is also a saying that it means to wash away the troubles and bad luck of the world.
Although I don't really want to do this in my heart, for the sake of the people around me, it's better not to be too maverick, and it's good to be a steady person who follows the local customs.
The boy looked down at the explanation notice beside him.
"First, take a spoon in your right hand and wash your left hand."
It seemed very simple, and he did it.
"Next, change the spoon in your left hand to get water and wash your right hand."
It's very symmetrical, and it looks like the gods are friendly to OCD sufferers.
Chihara nodded vigorously, looking at his freshly washed hands stupidly, and couldn't help but secretly praise the etiquette of the local gang in his heart.
"Then take back your right hand and take a ladle to take the water, and pour it into the palm of your left hand......
"Then rinse your mouth"
Approaching the panel and taking a closer look at it again, Mr. Chihara was stunned.
He was stuck in the long test of being stuck in the third step.
β¦β¦
Looking at the young man who was deep in thought on the other side, Risa Taneda, who finally couldn't help but talk without permission, rubbed her eyebrows and sighed faintly.
"That's why I suspect you're seriously ill."
"Yes, I'm really sick."
The boy nodded vigorously.
Mr. Chihara never hid this.
Since he was born, on a physical level, he has experienced transient blindness from flashbangs in gunplay games, mild epilepsy sent back to the Hunters' Guild by zodiacal meteorites many times, malicious fraud by Compass Niang in the event of the ship mother for many years, and bronchitis caused by the inexplicable breaking of the ship girl actors during the battle.
In addition, there are the most serious and heinous symptoms of kidney failure caused by the GBF Star Ancient Battlefield......
On this thin body alone, it is already a miracle that he can still stand up to the seven-day work system with all kinds of diseases, and if he is someone else, he has been hit by so many heartbreaking tricks, and he has long been knocking on blood pressure pills and liver protection tablets every day.
And that's just on a purely physical level.
When it comes to the deeper spiritual aspect, Mr. Chihara also has a lot of mental illness......
For example, asymmetrical and uncomfortable obsessive-compulsive disorder, unclean and uncomfortable cleanliness habits, the two are occasionally combined.
In front of his friends, he actually still has symptoms of mild social phobia in public, and there is also physical insomnia caused by being harassed by Sakura's classmates in the evening.
It's just pathetic!
Risa Taneda shook her head helplessly, she still didn't understand why this little brother was so persistent that it was unhygienic to rinse his mouth with this spoon.
"I've been watching from behind for a long time, you've been in this position for at least ten minutes by yourself, please hurry up, even if you don't want to wash, you can pretend to rinse your mouth a little bit, and then enter the door." The girl suggested softly.
It is believed that the gods will be more tolerant of the cleanliness fetish.
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Chihara hesitated and said, "It seems that everyone has washed it, but I don't have ......."
"If you think you're different and want to conform to the public, please hurry up." Taneda Risa poked his shoulder angrily, and the girl's face was not very good-looking at the moment.
Mainly because she had been standing and waiting for a long time.
Coming out of the subway station, walking through the long Rizando, and following the flow of people, there was a long queue, and the resentment brought out by talking to this person now made her feel that her originally comfortable mood had become extremely irritable at the moment.
"But it's because so many people have used it in the public that I feel so disgusted...... "Chihara glanced at the position of the cup and spoon again.
Hearing this, Taneda Risa lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and her silver teeth clenched.
"Everyone hasn't touched their mouths, why is it disgusting?" She whispered as she suppressed her anger.
"No, there are a few doubts here...... "Chihara thought for a moment, and Masase said, "First of all, this long-handled cup and spoon is a big problem. I don't think anyone can guarantee that no one has accidentally touched those palms that might be full of germs before, right? β
"I think I've already washed my hands in the first two steps......" the girl smiled helplessly.
Chihara thought about it, it was indeed the case, so he nodded.
"And what if he doesn't wash it properly?" The boy said again, and then he saw the eyes of Risa Taneda on the other side glancing at him with an indescribable look.
It's like a lion staring at an offensive rabbit carcass.
"Where are there so many assumptions!"
Indeed, if hypothetical is to be made, it seems that the situation can continue indefinitely.
"I still have a question." Chihara shrunk his neck and touched his lower lip, "If you can help solve it, there is a high probability that my heart disease will be fine." β
The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes loosened a little.
"Say it." She said quietly.
"Where does the water come from?" Chihara frowned, "24 hours a day, I can only suspect that it is actually recycling." β
"Okay......"
"You've managed to disgust me now."
Farming pear yarn to support the forehead.
To tell the truth, she didn't know why there was a steady stream of water gushing out of her mouth, anyway, the possibility of groundwater was basically zero in this era.
And where did the water that had already been used up go, and Risa Taneda didn't want to delve into it now......
Rather than exposing the brutal truth, it is better to treat it as if you don't know anything.
However, I would like to congratulate Mr. Chihara.
He succeeded in using this simple and crude question to make the girl not want to borrow the pool at the mouth of the fountain of any shrine to rinse her mouth from now on.
