Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 852: Great Disaster, Great Disaster, There Will Always Be Great Fortune

It’s different when you have someone working as a tour guide. Although the shrine is still the same shrine, the turtles in your pond now have a distinguished origin.

"It is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo and Hojo Masako placed it here personally as a symbol of peace."

Inoue Yoshii pointed at the turtle basking in the sun in the pond and introduced it in a serious manner, but no one believed it. After all, in the izakaya called "Cat House" that Yukinoshita Yukino and the others went to last night, there were portraits and even sculptures of cats of each generation of generals, which were much more real than the turtle of Minamoto no Yoritomo's family.

Fortunately, the team included the Hojo couple, Miyamizu and Nishimiya. These mature people in society were very supportive and exclaimed, saying things like "Si Guoyi".

Hojo Kyosuke once read an article that said that in a Japanese company, even if you don't speak Japanese at all, as long as you master two sentences starting with "す", you can get along well. One is Sri Lankan, and the other is Private Marseille.

Just like a high school girl can integrate into any group as long as she can say these three sentences: "You're right, that's funny, so cute", it can be called a social artifact.

After wandering around for a while, Hojo Kyosuke soon got tired. In his previous life, he was too impatient to visit those cultural relics. How could he possibly visit this small shrine in Neon now? Unless the god himself came down to earth, that would be almost the case.

He took out his cell phone and was about to check the news when, as if by some stroke of genius, he thought of Kato Megumi.

Wash the motor!

Someone's eyes widened suddenly. It's only been a few days since we last met, but Hui's power has actually become stronger? They just contacted each other last night, but he didn't even think of her after playing for so long today.

I was thinking about taking some photos of the shrine last night to show Hui...

Hojo Kyosuke felt guilty, and then quickly opened the album on his phone to select a few photos to send to fool people. But when he opened the album, he was shocked. It was not that he didn't take any photos, nor that the photos were not good-looking, but that there was one or more beautiful girls in every photo. There was no pure landscape photo at all.

I……

His hands trembled slightly, and an unacceptable thought popped up in his mind.

My phone is a pervert! ?

It's horrible, it's really horrible!

A cell phone that only takes pictures of pretty girls...

What an evil existence this is!

After barely calming himself down, Hojo Kyosuke greeted Miyaji and told him that he was going to take a photo. The latter immediately and skillfully posed like a master.

Yotsuba was amazed at his excellent sense of camera and guessed that old man Inoue must have secretly filmed a video online to promote the shrine.

After taking a few standard tourist photos, Hojo Kyosuke sent them to Hui, and soon after he waited, a message came in. Compared to tour groups like Ruyi Liao, which are mainly for young people, the family trip of the Kato family is probably much more boring.

"Izusan Shrine? How cool! The chief priest is here to receive us personally.

After receiving the message, Hojo Kyosuke thought that Hui on the Internet was indeed much more lively than in real life. When he was free last night, he thought about it and felt that this was probably because in Hui's subconscious, the Internet itself provided her with a layer of camouflage, so the degree of "calmness" could be slightly reduced, otherwise it would change from "bland" to "cold".

These were all his random thoughts, and he had no intention of seeking confirmation from Hui. After all, it was a bit too shameless to secretly do psychological testing for a friend.

But then again, it does make one feel happy to hear a beautiful girl praising one's abilities. Even someone like Hojo Kyosuke who regards fame and fortune as nothing can help but feel a little better.

With some reserve, he explained that he was recognized when he had something to ask of the witch.

"Then this chief priest kindly invited me to leave some works at the shrine. I guess he wanted to write me into the history of the shrine after I die. What an old bastard." - Hojo Kyousuke

Then he asked Hui what she was doing and how she had time to chat with him. The girl quickly sent him two messages.

"picture"

"I'm tired from shopping, so I'm eating something special." - Megumi

Hojo Kyosuke clicked on the picture and found out that it was dumplings.

Japanese people really understand tourism and marketing. They can create so-called famous products in any deserted tourist area, such as dumplings, oranges, fish, and even ramen, which is everywhere.

But even though he complained, he had just finished climbing a mountain and his appetite was very strong. When he saw the plump dumplings that had just been cooked, his mouth immediately began to secrete saliva.

"It looks delicious, please send some to me!"

He sent messages to tease Hui.

"Eh? It's okay, but the taste is just average. I'm worried that you'll be disappointed after eating it, Kyousuke-kun..."

Hui replied seriously, and Hojo Kyosuke realized that people here really have the habit of bringing souvenirs, and these specialties have long been developed into versions that are convenient for mailing and carrying. So he added:

“I meant it’s already cooked!”

"..."

“It will surely turn into a paste if it is sent!” - Megumi

As he read the message, Hojo Kyosuke seemed to see Hui's calm little face. If the real person was right in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to hear the exclamation mark, right?

Surfing the Internet is so much fun!

Thinking of this, he sent another message:

"Mei, haven't you read The Three-Body Problem? Dry it first and send it to me, then I'll put it in a pot and boil it with water, right?"

Hui's message came quickly, and the emotion was fully expressed:

"('へ')"

Someone laughed out loud after reading this and posted:

"You will be punished by shouting three hundred times that the world belongs to the Trisolarans!"

"_"--benefit

Hojo Kyosuke could already imagine old man Hui's expression on the subway. After all, even the Japanese words he wanted to type out for the Three-Body Problem took him 0.001 seconds to think. People like Hui who definitely hadn't read the novel would be even more confused.

The two joked a few more times and shared their respective itineraries for the day. Finally, Hui said that the main force was about to start moving, and the conversation ended.

"Are you chatting with Hui?"

A voice sounded beside Hojo Kyosuke. He turned his head naturally and said with a smile:

"Yes, I originally wanted to send her two landscape photos, but when I flipped through the album, I was shocked to find that they were all photos of you."

Yamauchi Sakura laughed out loud: "Kyosuke's cell phone is a pervert!"

Someone shrugged: "Yeah, totally different from his honest and kind master."

"No, that's not right. I heard that dogs at home become more and more like their owners. Is it the same with mobile phones?"

Yingliang raised an eyebrow and looked at someone teasingly.

Hojo Kyosuke couldn't respond to this. He had seen the era of big data and could only say that there are people in the world who understand him better than he does.

"What did you draw?" he asked.

"It's great luck!"

The girl grinned, revealing eight little white teeth.

Hojo Kyosuke's expression immediately brightened up after hearing this:

"Really? Show me!"

Yingliang immediately reached into her pocket and took out a pack of tissues, a restaurant receipt, a piece of fruit candy that looked a little melted (she immediately peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into her mouth, and then bit off half of it and stuffed it into someone's mouth), a white stone and two leaves.

"Ah... a lot of them are broken..."

She looked at the broken leaves sadly.

"I'll pick it up on the way back later."

Although he didn't know why this idiot was picking up leaves, Hojo Kyosuke still comforted him.

Finally, Sakura took out the fortune stick from her other pocket.

“clang clang~~”

She pulled the signature paper up and down with both hands, showing it off proudly, and gloatingly said:

"I heard that Eriri drew two very bad cards in a row?"

As she spoke, she handed the sign to the boy next to her.

The person who had just conspired with Eriri to tear up two fortune sticks was now looking at them very seriously.

"The 55th Great Luck"

"The clouds have dispersed and the moon is shining again, the book of heaven has received the sincerity of one's will. Although there are many obstacles, the flowers will bloom again."

Hojo Kyosuke spread out the signature paper in the palm of his left hand and rubbed the ink on it with his right index finger.

"The clouds have dispersed and the moon is shining again... the flowers are blooming again..."

He recited softly, and the expression on his face first sank, then became happy, and finally conflicted.

"It's a good sign, it's a good sign."

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he quickly composed himself and looked at Yamauchi Sakura with a smile, but he did not see the complex expression that flashed across the girl's face.

"The clouds that obscured the moon will disperse, and the moon will become brighter. All the things that hinder it will disappear, and it will become more prosperous. It is simply a perfect fortune that will make all your wishes come true!"

He laughed out loud, and Yamauchi Sakura also raised the corners of her mouth proudly, but then she quickly snatched the signature paper and stuffed it into her pocket like a thief.

"We can't let Eriri see this, otherwise she'll really think I sucked her luck away and she'll be sulking in secret for a long time!"

“Hahahaha, that’s for sure.”

Hojo Kyosuke also laughed. Eriri was indeed like that.

The two of them sat on the steps of the main hall of the shrine and chatted and laughed. Passing tourists and little shrine maidens looked at them with curiosity.

When the chief priest Inoue in the palace saw this scene, his face trembled but he didn't say much.

As a writer, it’s not surprising that he believes in God, let alone not believing in God.

After everyone finished the tour, the chief priest came over and asked Mr. Hojo attentively whether he had any inspiration.

Someone looked at his father and father-in-law who were very satisfied with the service, and nodded to indicate that it was indeed available.

The chief priest was overjoyed and immediately shouted to the priestess to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Yamauchi Sakura's eyes followed Kyosuke's back until he could no longer see him, then he lowered his head and took his hand out of his pocket.

He opened his palm and saw a crumpled piece of paper inside.

Miyamizu Mitsuha walked over at some point and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go over and take a look? Even I'm curious about what Hojo would write."

Yamauchi Sakura did not answer, but extended her hand forward and said, "I drew the lucky number."

The miko spread out the fortune paper with a strange expression on her face. Like Hojo Kyosuke, she also recited the fortune:

"The clouds have dispersed and the moon has returned..."

The difference is that she also said one more sentence: "Although there are many obstacles, the flowers will bloom again."

As a professional shrine maiden, Mitsuha Miyamizu naturally interpreted the meaning of the fortune stick in an instant. She didn't even need to look through the "Gojinben" like those half-baked priests.

The same fortune has different interpretations for different wishes. If the object is Yamauchi Sakura, the only interpretation of this poem is -

"All diseases will be cured, and painful things will disappear."

"It's amazing."

Yamauchi Sakura sighed in a deep voice:

"Is this the power of God? The moment I drew this lot, my heart actually started beating violently."

“That’s really amazing…”

"Now I can even understand those who serve God wholeheartedly."

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was attacked by Sakura last night, moved her eyes when she heard this.

Yes, wasn’t I saved by the power of God?

However, as a member of the Miyamizu family who was entangled in the mission sent by the gods, Mitsuha really couldn't feel the slightest gratitude towards the evil gods. Even when the government kindly wanted to help rebuild the Miyamizu Shrine, she decisively chose to refuse and donated all the aid to the townspeople who were affected by the disaster in Itomori.

But even so, gods do exist!

Kyousuke and I are the best proof!

Thinking of this, the miko excitedly quickly recounted the story of the Miyamizu family god, and then said:

"Maybe there's a god watching you right now, Sakura!"

"Pfft~~"

Yamauchi Sakura smiled, then turned to look at Miyamizu Mitsuha, her eyes sparkling with a smile:

"There has always been only one God~~"

After saying that, she grabbed the fortune stick and put it in her pocket, then skipped over the stairs and chased after Hojo Kyosuke.

My God, should he be taking action now?

The girl thought happily in her heart.

On the other side, Hojo Kyosuke had already taken out his cell phone when he walked into the main hall of the shrine and followed the company to the shrine office.

"How's the investigation you were asked to do?"

"Boss, that's a crime. You have to give me some time. Don't you think about how much I have to do every day? Wouldn't it be better to take my time with that kind of thing?" - Tetsuta Kisaki

"Since you knew what I was talking about the moment you heard it, you should know how high its priority is. Besides, isn't crime your favorite thing?"

"…I was young and ignorant back then, but now I just want to be a good person."

"Stop talking nonsense, and go back to Tokyo as soon as you have rested enough."

“Hi, hi, hi—”

"We're here. Isn't the environment nice?"

Inoue Miyaji greeted with a smile.

The shrine office, or the social affairs office, is where the shrine's commercial and social affairs are handled, such as accepting sponsorship contracts, accepting telephone purchases, mailing amulets, and so on. It's impossible to let the gods handle the orders personally, right?

The social affairs office is located on the right side of the shrine. The roof is also Japanese style and the decoration is really nice.

White paper had been placed on a long ebony table inside, and a little girl in a red and white shrine maiden costume stood beside it, waiting for the respected Hojo teacher to start writing.

"I look forward to your masterpiece, Mr. Hojo!"

Well flies rub their hands. (End of this chapter)
