Chapter 33 Akagi Shrine
Chapter 33 Akagi Shrine
When the sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Araki Sousuke's old-fashioned mobile phone rang as if in response.
He struggled to stretch out his hand from under the quilt, pressed the hang up button, and fell asleep again.
After a while, the phone rang again.
Hang up again.
Five minutes later, the phone rang again.
It seems that there is an extremely stubborn and persistent person on the other end of the phone.
"Damn it, it's early in the morning, which bastard..." Araki Sosuke picked up the phone with big dark circles under his eyes.
"Excuse me, it's Sousuke Araki..."
On the other end of the phone, there was a woman with a clear and pleasant voice, with a timid voice.
Girl, alive, call me...
Sousuke Araki froze for a moment, frowned, and interrupted the other party's next words: "I don't order anything, I don't get a loan, I can't afford a house, I don't confirm any courier and bank transfers, and I don't have anything at home to watch HNK TV. Equipment, there is nothing to donate, and there is no intention of not wanting to work hard for the time being."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Damn it, or just turn off the phone... I'm so sleepy..."
Last night, he fought against the "rats" until midnight.
But that group of cunning mice seemed to have dug a hole in the house, and obviously felt that they had hit many of them, but none of them left him a dead body.
As if it was a well-trained army, while fighting with him, it was constantly removing the wounded from the front line.
Within 2 minutes, the phone rang again in a hurry.
"Is it over..."
Araki Sousuke answered the phone angrily.
"I'm Kotori Yumaumi, if you hang up on me again, I'll report you to the convenience store about stealing the magazine."
This time, the other party didn't give him a chance to speak, so he finished speaking in one breath.
"The magazine was dismantled by those high school students... Kotori Yumaumi..." Araki Sosuke pondered for a moment, and said, "Who is it?"
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously breathless, then took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone: "We met at the convenience store a few nights ago... I can't remember the girl's name, but it's very rude."
"Oh...it's you, a serious COSPLAY fraudulent girl. By the way, why do you have my phone number?" The image of a long-haired girl in a priestess costume appeared in Araki Sousuke's mind.
"Please don't give others such disrespectful nicknames at will... I went to that convenience store, and the clerk told me that your Excellency was suspended because of some invisible things, and gave me this phone number."
"So... what do you want me to do?" Araki Sosuke held the phone between his shoulders and lit a cigarette.
"Can you please come to the Akagi Shrine in Kagurazaka, and I will prove to you that I am a spirit remover."
Kotori Yumasumi solemnly extended the invitation.
"If I don't come."
"Then I... will go to the convenience store and complain that you harassed underage girls in the convenience store late at night."
The girl on the other end of the phone didn't seem to have expected Araki Sousuke to ask such a question, she was dazed for a while, and then threatened in embarrassment after a while.
"Hey, I kindly invited you to eat meat buns that night..."
……
Kagurazaka, located in Shinjuku District, is a ramp about one kilometer from Waseda Street to Sotobori Street. It has always been a gathering place for famous Japanese literati and artists.
The moment he stepped into Kagurazaka, which was bathed in the afternoon sun, Araki Sousuke felt as if he had suddenly come to the quiet Kyoto from the noisy Shinjuku.
The long and narrow ramps and surrounding paths are covered with old gravel bricks.
On both sides of the ramp, there are traditional Japanese ancient buildings and European-style buildings full of the sense of the times, planted with quiet plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, and lined with characteristic cafes, Japanese teahouses, and various old and new shops.
Even though it is in a metropolis, Kagurazaka still stubbornly retains the nostalgic and elegant atmosphere of Japan. At night, people dressed as geisha can even be seen strolling in the alleys.
The Akagi Shrine is located on this slope intersecting Japanese and Western.
Walking through the vermilion torii, you can see a small, poor silver-white cabin within a few steps, which is the main hall of this shrine.
Different from the common old shrines, under the eaves and wooden pillars of the main hall of Akagi Shrine, there is a transparent glass curtain, which looks very modern.
Next to the main hall is a high-end residential apartment that is unified with the style of the shrine and has a very artistic atmosphere.
On the ground floor of the apartment, the cafe with the words "Chicheng Coffee" on the signboard is also designed with wood and glass as the main design style. The cafe is crowded with people and looks very lively.
"Akagi Shrine enshrines the god of learning, Iwatsutsu Yumei, and the goddess Akagi Himomi."
When Sousuke Araki was curiously visiting a statue of a flying dragon in the shrine, someone whispered in his ear.
Standing behind him at some point is Yumami Kotori wearing a short skirt, a high school uniform, a red ribbon on his chest, and a HELLOKITTY schoolbag.
"You look like an ordinary high school girl no matter how you look at it."
Turning around the other party, Araki Sousuke said disdainfully.
"Even if you are a full-time priestess, you still have to go to school after work. Please follow me this way..."
Kotori Yumasumi carried her schoolbag, and led Araki Sousuke into the apse of the shrine, which was closed to visitors.
Unlike the front hall with a modern design, the building of the apse looks extremely dilapidated and old, as if it would collapse at any time.
A handsome middle-aged man in a simple priestly uniform was sweeping the ground in the courtyard.
"Hey, Mayumi-chan is back, did you bring friends to play?"
Seeing Sosuke Araki, who was following behind Kotori Yumaumi, who didn't look like a good person at all, the man didn't show any disrespectful expression, but smiled heartily at him.
"This is my father, Kotori Yutaro. This one is called Araki Sousuke, a spirit remover who can easily make spirits 'become Buddhas'."
Facing his father, Xiaoniao Youmao didn't seem to want to talk too much, and introduced them politely with a straight face.
"Oh, then please take care of my little girl."
Holding a broom and dressed in an ancient style, Yutaro Yutaro did not nod like a traditional Japanese.
Instead, he enthusiastically shook hands with Sousuke Araki and fisted him, as if regretting that Sousuke Araki didn't cooperate with his final chest bump.
"Don't look at me dressed like this. There was a blessing ceremony in the afternoon. When I was young, I came back after studying and working in Longguo for more than ten years. I'm not a stubborn old man."
After exchanging greetings with Kotori Yutaro, Araki Sosuke followed Kotori Yumayuki into the reception room of the apse.
"This shrine is actually opened by your family? I can't tell, you are still a rich man."
Looking curiously at the extremely large apse, Araki Sousuke couldn't help but admire.
Next week, the water test push notification came without warning...
It is said that if you try the waters and fail to advance, you will run around naked for the rest of your life°(°ˊДˋ°)°
One person votes one day, Sosuke Araki can make his debut!During the recommendation period, updates will be added randomly without affecting the quality of the content. I will ask everyone next week, thank you!
