I'm really unnerved in Tokyo

Chapter 35 Techniques for becoming a Buddha

On special days such as festivals, openings, end of the year, and completion of construction, it is indeed a Japanese tradition to invite priests to come to pray for blessings and perform ceremonies such as exorcism.

Some companies even rush to donate incense money, build torii gates, etc. to prestigious shrines every year.

In the eyes of Sosuke Araki, these are purely behaviors of "people are stupid and rich".

However, the ass decides the head.From the perspective of work, it is a win-win thing to be able to make the client feel at ease by sending sincere blessings, and to do the "spirit removal business" that can easily earn money by pretending.

"Ahem, since you are so polite, then I will... But, my 'de-spirit' skills can only be understood but cannot be described in words."

Sousuke Araki covered his mouth with a fist and coughed, and put the stack of "big money" into his trouser pocket without hesitation with the other hand.

"Have you finally recognized me... I can understand, after all, it is the legendary 'becoming a Buddha'. The current vice president of the Spirit Eliminator Association is also a master known for making vicious wraiths 'become a Buddha'. I just hope that, on the premise that you are not in a difficult situation, you can share some experience and guide me."

Seeing that the topic was finally getting on the right track, Kotori Mayumi's calm expression also faintly showed joy.

"If you want to talk about becoming... what? Oh, becoming a Buddha, yes, the technique of becoming a Buddha is mainly..."

With his elbows on the table and his palms closed, Araki Sousuke looked at her mysteriously.

"Yes……?"

The true meaning of "becoming a Buddha", the highest level of spiritual elimination in the legend, is about to be revealed in front of his eyes, and the bird You Mayumi holds his breath.

Araki Sousuke spit out two words solemnly: "Be careful."

"Attentively? These two words... Could it be that the legendary Dao is simple and evolved into complex. It turns out that it means that when you encounter an evil spirit, you should use the other party's clothing, speech status, and action patterns to use your heart. To judge his condition before death and the possible location of his obsession..."

Kotori Yumasumi sweated slightly on his forehead, and immediately took out his notebook and took notes seriously.

"Sure enough, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. In the future, I hope to have more opportunities to receive your guidance."

After recording, Yumami Kotori, who felt that she had benefited a lot, changed her previous disdainful attitude and saluted Araki Sousuke respectfully.

"It's easy to say, but my 'becoming a Buddha' skill is not something that can be learned from ordinary people with just a few words..."

Hearing what Araki Sosuke said, Kotori Yumasumi's expression became serious again, and he sincerely asked for advice.

"That's natural...then how can I possibly learn it."

Good question, it didn't take me to hint so clearly.

"In the future, if you can earn as much money as that day... No, it's a difficult 'spirit removal business', you can also ask me to accompany you...Although I'm very busy recently...Of course, I won't do it myself, just I will guide you from the sidelines... However, if you insist on giving me some rewards as a gift for your guidance, it is not easy for me to refuse."

Araki Sousuke said pretendingly.

"That's very good. Mr. Araki, Kou Yuma is not talented, please give me more advice in the future."

Hearing what he said, the stern-faced little bird Yumaumi showed a rare joy.

In the era when the inheritance of the major shrines is declining and cut off, and they are cherishing themselves, it is an extremely rare opportunity to have someone who is willing to give advice.

"The title teacher is unnecessary..."

At this moment, Araki Sousuke's phone rang.

"Senior... I have something important to discuss with you..."

On the other end of the phone, there was a cry from Yamada Kengo.

"Moxi Moxi, it's Kengo. I don't have any plans for the time being... What, you saw a female ghost that night, and you were forced to ride for a long time, and finally you were saved by the talisman paper I gave you? How did I meet you? If it’s not such a good thing... let’s talk about it when we meet, it just so happens that brother made a fortune, so please have a good meal.”

The girl sitting by the side changed her expression slightly when she heard words such as "Damn" and "talisman paper".

"In that case, I still have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first... Next time when there is money cheating, no, when it's the work of exorcising spirits, please contact me again." After the call, Sousuke Araki, who was feeling hungry, hurriedly said Ready to leave.

Are you busy removing spirits for your friends? Mr. Araki is indeed a brilliant exorcist.

Thinking of this, Xiaoniao Youzhengong didn't want to keep him any longer, and got up respectfully to send him outside the door.

Walking to the gate of the shrine, the handsome uncle named Kotori Yutaro was standing under the red torii gate, smiling and taking pictures with several female college students.

"Oh, Araki-kun, are you leaving now? If you don't mind, smoke a cigarette before leaving."

Kotori Yutaro blinked at him, took out a pack of cigarettes from the large priest robe, and walked towards the alley beside the gate.

"Peace in an iron box? Uncle understands it quite well."

Seeing the pack of high-end cigarettes, Sousuke Araki, who could only afford the cheapest "Seven Stars", followed immediately.

"call……"

After skillfully lighting up the cigarettes, the two smoked in a deserted alley.

"The shrine doesn't stipulate that priests can't smoke, but that kid doesn't like me smoking, so please keep it a secret for me."

Kotori Yutaro said helplessly.

"Oh, don't worry..." Araki Sousuke still squatted on the ground, greedily tasting the aroma of high-grade tobacco.

"Don't look at Mayumi's child who is usually calm and calm... But she puts too much pressure on herself. She has never brought back friends other than classmates. Araki-kun is still the first."

"Is it because of the shrine?" Araki Sousuke asked curiously, remembering the previous topic about land lease.

"Araki-kun, do you believe in the existence of gods?"

Without answering Araki Sousuke's question, Kotori Yutaro asked back.

Without waiting for Araki Sousuke's answer, he continued talking on his own.

"Anyway, I... don't believe in any bullshit gods."

Hearing the other party's words, Araki Sousuke's pupils dilated instantly.

Isn't this shrine opened by your family?Didn't you have fun taking photos with female college students in priest clothes?Doesn't your daughter cosplay out every night to get rid of spirits?
"Are you surprised, Araki-kun? I don't believe in the existence of gods even though I'm wearing a priest's uniform and my family has worshiped the shrine for generations."

"Well, as an atheist, I agree with the last point unconditionally."

Araki Sousuke immediately agreed.

"The Xiaoniaoyou family claims to be able to feel the existence of gods from generation to generation. People like me who have never felt the existence of gods, and have never believed in the existence of gods, cannot be truly recognized by the family. They only deserve to be A tool for bloodline continuation."

Breathing out the smoke, Kotori Yutaro smiled wryly.

"Atheist who was born in a shrine family? It's not easy for you, uncle."
