I’ll Quit Being a God Chapter 88: New Year・Festival・Okagura

China has had the tradition of "burning head incense" since ancient times, also known as "burning head incense" and "burning head incense".

That is, burn the first incense stick/incense burner on the first day of the new year. It is said that the first stick/incense burner has the greatest merit, and it is also said that it can get the greatest and best blessings.

In order to compete for the first place, many people even stay up late and wait, just to get the first place. Also being competed for is the first place of "ringing the bell to pray for blessings". The reason is the same as "burning incense", so they do not hesitate to do so. Cost a fortune.

Across the sea, Japan is actually similar. Even though people no longer celebrate the Lunar New Year like flower growers due to changing times, this custom has been inherited by the Gregorian New Year.

However, because Shintoism does not burn incense, it uses worshiping gods and praying for blessings instead, so the proper noun "Hatsuachi" was born.

Those who are not particular will choose to go there during the day after getting enough sleep, while those who are particular will also stay up late and wait.

And temples and shrines will also hold festivals in response to the support of believers. The larger the temples and shrines are, the larger the scale of the festival will be.

As the leader of Shinto, Amaterasu Grand Shrine is certainly no exception.

December has just entered, and everyone in the shrine and the main branch of the Kagura family has begun to get busy with this.

Decorating the venue, preparing ceremonies and sacrifices, rehearsing the program, arranging guests, etc., just looking at the catalog can make people dizzy.

If you take any one of them, you can write a five-figure plan, maybe more.

The most troublesome thing is the arrangement of guests. The previous projects were basically the same old ones with nothing to say. The only difference is this one. People's social attributes are constantly changing.

The hierarchy in Japan is relatively strict. Ordinary believers and VIPs must be treated differently, and VIPs are more particular.

The higher the status and status of people, the more they care about faith. They may not necessarily truly believe, but at least they do not want their disbelief to affect them.

How should these people be arranged? Who has a higher seat position? Who is in a better position? Whoever occupies more territory may leave a grudge if not considered carefully.

Unlike ninjas, swordsmen, and onmyoji, which are not closely related to professions on the table, Shinto involves faith and is closely related to the secular world, which has also become a talisman for the Kagura family.

This is a step that cannot go wrong, so when the "ordinary" members of the service department received the invitation and said that they had a VIP seat, everyone was shocked.

Even if it is just a corner, inconspicuous position, it is scary enough to tell it.

Look at the people around you?

The whole family of the president of a certain big company; a certain member of Congress, who must have a certain weight, and those who make up the number are not counted; a certain social celebrity, a leading cultural figure (Japanese cultural figures generally have a higher status).

How can we three minors, He Dehe, sit here?

Although he finally came, wearing the most orthodox and least shameful clothes within his cognitive scope, he was still on pins and needles and extremely restrained.

Hikiko Hachiman put away his cynicism, Yuigahama Yui did not dare to take pictures with her mobile phone, and Yukinoshita Yukino showed the most perfect manner for fear of doing something wrong.

After sitting down, my whole body became stiff.

"No more, no more...I can't hold on anymore." Finally, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but said.

"I can't hold on anymore. I never thought that the festival would be such a terrible thing, even more terrible than cash deposit."

Hikiko Hachiman's eyes looked like a fish that had been dead for a month, but it had only been dead for three days before attending the festival.

"I once again realized the insurmountable gap between class."

"It's not that absolute." Yuigahama Yui retorted, "Hayama-kun and Yuko are good people. Seki-san and Kagura-san are also good people. I invited us because I said I was interested in the festival. ”

"Yes, it's obviously just a relationship between a classmate's family and the club, so it's okay not to invite."

Hikigaya Hachiman's voice weakened. He didn't want to continue this topic anymore. He turned his eyes away, only to see Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been sitting upright and looking straight ahead, turned his eyes at some point and looked at him blankly.

"What's wrong? Is there something we did inappropriately?"

The Hikiko family and the Yuigahama family are ordinary people, and they can be considered middle class. In this situation, they can only rely on Miss Yukinoshita, who comes from a well-known family. Even the clothes on her body were obtained by Yukino.

"No." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, "Although I don't want to admit it, you are right. From birth to now, I have never seen such a nervous mother. I always feel that I can't be like before. It’s natural to face Kagura-san.”

The Yukinoshita family is a local wealthy family in the Chiba area. There is a council member in the family, so they are more aware of the twists and turns than ordinary families.

According to tradition, Yukino must go home during the New Year, but as soon as the VIP invitation came out, the whole family rushed to Tokyo, and her parents thought more than once about whether to come together.

No need to do anything extra, just sitting in the seat itself is a huge capital.

But in the end, I gave up because the gap was too big. How could county councilors be compared with congressmen?

Instead, he gave Yukino various instructions and surprise training, and even specially invited Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui to train together, for fear of making mistakes.

After Christmas, the three of them lived in dire straits, and they were relieved after today.

Yuigahama Yui retorted: "I don't agree with what Koyuki said. Kagura-san would not want us to be like this. She is not that kind of person."

"I know she has something I lack."

"What is it?"

"..." Xueno did not answer.

"It's 'true'."

Hachiman answered for her with a voice that he could only hear. The girl named Kagura Mio lived an extremely real life, different from everyone else around her.

But how to define and describe this "truth", Hikigaya Hachiman has not yet grasped it.

Just when he was confused, there was a slight commotion around him.

It turns out that this is the climax of the festival, and the most important part of the ritual of worshiping the gods, "Okagaku", has begun.

King Kagura, the reclusive head of the Kagura family, personally presided over the ceremony.

The Amaterasu Grand Shrine Siten shrine maiden, Kagura Mangame Kanade, serves as the chief priest and prays at the highest point of the altar. Kagura Mio serves as the deputy priest, dancing behind Kagura Mangame.

Around the two people, four teams of shrine maidens responded to them with music, prayers, dance, and beats according to different directions.

The whole ceremony is sacred and solemn, but it also has the power to warm people's hearts. It is obviously on a cold winter night, but it makes people feel like they are under the warm sunshine, making people relax involuntarily and feel peaceful.

The boys and girls, whose bodies were tense, finally got a moment of rest.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it magical."

Hikigaya Hachiman quietly changed his sitting posture and stretched his sore legs. Anyway, no one would look at him at this time.

"I can understand more and more what Mr. Guan said. I have to look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ.com to believe it or not. Some things are really difficult to explain." Yukinoshita Yukino exhaled softly.

"Do you feel a little hot?" Yuigahama Yui pulled off her collar.

"You have a point in saying that." Hachiman thought he was sitting for too long and had an illusion.

"It's strange. I'm not sweating, so why is it hot? Is it because the weather is too dry?" Yui frowned.

“It snowed just the day before yesterday and it hasn’t melted yet.”

Hachiman responded casually, the heat in his body never dissipated, as if there was a warm current flowing from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai, making him feel a little dizzy.

In a daze, he saw some blurry images, familiar and unfamiliar, and he couldn't tell whether they were real illusions.

The next second, an indescribable feeling of disobedience came to my heart, as if I had forgotten something very important. .

He rubbed his temples vigorously, and the image quickly disappeared. Before he could think about what was going on, a pair of dark eyes appeared in front of him.

The owner of the eyes is a very small girl, less than one meter tall, wearing a well-fitting miko skirt with pink and jade carvings. She looks very cute.

The girl waved her fleshy little hands, her round face full of excitement, and her movements were somewhat similar to the "Mikagura" on the altar.

But the prayer is wrong, it sounds like - Mom, come on?
