I Became a God in Tokyo

Shinjuku, Tokyo.

　　 Compared with the past, the streets tonight are much deserted. Many shops have closed in advance, and the electronic signs in front of them have been darkened.

　　 However, it is not because of economic depression or business downturn.

　　 But because at this time, people in Tokyo have basically gathered in specific places, ready to welcome the new year.

　　 This particular place refers to temples and shrines in Tokyo.

　　 It's time for temples and shrines to make a fortune once a year...

　　 It’s really strange. In this modern society, shouldn’t people be most grateful for the rapid development of science and technology? Why go to worship those false gods?

　　 If you know this, you should get me online the night before the new year, bastard!

　　 Inside the Mitsui Manga Café, Yuta Mitsui put down his tea cup angrily, as he thought.

　　 The bell rang, and the employee Miyazaki Takuma, who had arrived for the evening shift, opened the door and walked in.

　　 He saw Yuta Mitsui and greeted casually.

　　 "Mr. Mitsui, are you not going home today?"

　　 "Oh, my wife took my daughter to the temple fair. Anyway, I am the only one in the house. It makes no difference whether I go back or not."

　　 "Aha, it's really a tragic middle-aged life." Miyazaki Takuma looked sympathetic, "Because he couldn't find a common language with his wife and daughter, so he was rejected, right?"

　　 Your bonus this month is gone... Yuta Mitsui silently took a note in his heart.

　　 "By the way, Mr. Mitsui is an atheist, right?" Miyazaki Takuma suddenly asked.

　　 Yuta Mitsui was about to open his mouth to answer "Yes", and then suddenly closed his mouth.

　　 Three months ago, he was indeed a firm supporter of materialism.

　　 But since experiencing that kind of experience in the alley and seeing the existence of ghosts with his own eyes, Mitsui Yuta's beliefs have changed dramatically.

　　 If there are ghosts in the world, maybe even if there are gods, it is not so unreasonable?

　　 Miyazaki Takuma looked at Yuta Mitsui who had fallen silent, and waved his hand hurriedly.

　　 "Mr. Mitsui, I don't mean anything else. It's not that you look down on you because you are an atheist."

　　 "Actually, it doesn't matter whether there are gods in this world, what matters is the atmosphere."

　　 "Humans are creatures that actively hug and keep warm. Only when they gather together can they feel warmth from others."

　　 "And at the beginning of the new year, people who had nothing to do with each other can gather together at the same time and share the joy of each other. This is the most wonderful thing." Miyazaki Takuma looked intoxicated.

　　 "I believe that as long as Mr. Mitsui has experienced it once, he will understand the fun..."

　　 "Okay, at my age, I won't be preached by a child like you." Mitsui Yuta said in a bad mood.

　　 "However, if it's an experience, it's not impossible."

　　 He took out a note from the drawer, then stood up, walked to Miyazaki Takuma, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly.

　　 "Then I will trouble you to watch the shop by yourself tonight."

　　 "Huh?" Miyazaki Takuma was taken aback, and suddenly panicked.

　　 I just said it casually, I didn't expect Mr. Mitsui to take it seriously. .

　　 Looking at the store alone, that means not only cleaning up the private rooms, but also receiving guests...

　　 Are you acting as a shadow clone of me?

　　 he quickly added.

　　 "Mr. Mitsui, it's actually not too late to experience again next year."

　　 "You are so anxious, are you worried that you will not survive next year?"

　　 "... Besides, you won't have any bonuses for next month."

　　......

　　 The day before the first day, all trams were non-stop because of the citizens’ travel.

　　 Sitting on the tram, Yuta Mitsui looked at the "30% off coupon" in his hand.

　　 Signed to belong to Tenshu Shrine.

　　 Although Yuta Mitsui runs an online coffee shop, he is not very accustomed to contacting the Internet frequently because he cannot accept new things on the Internet.

　　 However, he has also heard of this shrine from many customers recently.

　　 Mingming was an unknown shrine before, but suddenly it became popular and became the top shrine in Tokyo.

　　 However, there are such priests, it is inevitable to get angry.

　　 Yuta Mitsui thought so.

After 　　 arrived at the station, he got off the tram and followed the address on the coupon.

　　 From afar, I saw a series of bright lights.

　　 One family after another, the stalls circled the foot of the mountain, the bright light seemed to ignite Hirao Mountain.

　　 The crowd was full, and the scent of food mixed in with the excitement of discussions and noise made people want to participate.

　　 What a grand temple fair...

　　 Seeing this battle, Mitsui couldn't help but be speechless.

　　 He had been to Tenryu-ji Temple in Shinjuku to ring the bell before, and the scale of the temple fair there was simply incomparable with this place.

　　 Seeing this scene, Mitsui Yuta unconsciously stepped forward.

　　 When he reacted, not only had he been squeezed into the crowd, but he had also been lined up in a line selling taiyaki.

　　 "Long wait, here, man, your taiyaki."

　　 The stall owner who handed him Taiyaki was a burly man who looked about his age, with a cheerful smile on his angular face.

　　 Under the apron, he was wearing an inconsistent suit, with huge pectoral muscles propped up the neckline, which looked particularly spectacular.

　　 Yuta Mitsui thanked him and took it, and then went on walking in the temple fair.

　　 made a circle.

　　 Another circle.

　　 One more time.

　　 Finally, he walked around to the stall selling Taiyaki and asked embarrassingly.

　　 "I said the boss, which way should I go to Tenji Shrine?"

　　 The brawny man was taken aback, and then pointed to the rigorous mountain step behind him that was blocked by his paving.

　　 No wonder I can't find the way, it turns out that you have occupied the Tao...

　　 Mitsui Yuta's expression was faint, but he still held back his anger.

　　 "I am a believer and I am going to visit the shrine, please let me pass."

After 　　 said, he tried to pass between the stalls.

　　 Yamato Police Department grabbed him.

　　 "Wait, man, don’t you surf the Internet often? You don’t even know that Tenji Shrine declined to visit the shrine for the first time?"

　　 "Decline the first visit?" Yuta Mitsui wondered, "Why?"

　　 Shinto shrine is the first time, it can be said that the highest income of the shrine throughout the year.

　　 Even the cash box containing the money will be replaced with a large white cloth at this time.

　　 Believers who come to pay their respects only need to put five yen in their hands on the white cloth.

　　 Really, put money in sacks.

　　 The fees for visiting worship are so expensive, not to mention the income from selling Shinto tools.

　　 Such a huge sum of money, just gave up?

　　 Yuta Mitsui couldn't believe it.

　　 "I don't know." The Yamato Police Department shrugged.

　　 "But since the priest Shiraki did this, it must have his deep meaning."

　　 Mitsui Yuta keenly caught the key words

　　 "Shiroki priest? Is that Shiroki Jun?"

　　 "Do you know the priest Shiraki?"

"Yes, I encountered an unthinkable thing a few months ago. At that time, the priest Shiraki who was invited came to the scene to get rid of..." At this point, Mitsui stopped too deliberately and sold it. Close.

　　 "Oh." The Yamato Police Department nodded, not caring about Mitsui's experience.

　　 Instead, Yuta Mitsui couldn't hold it back.

　　 "I said, don’t you wonder what I’m talking about?"

　　 "I don't have much interest, anyway, if there is a priest Shiraki who takes action, then it has been completely resolved, right?" Yamato Police Department looked as it should be.

　　 He finally got off work and got rid of the supernatural world. Listening to the experience of ghosts like Mitsui Yuta is tantamount to asking him to work overtime.

　　...You really got it right.

　　 Mitsui Yuta was silent for a while, pretending to be chatting.

　　 "Dude, do you think there are gods in this world?"

　　 "I don't know if there are any gods. It's better to ask the priests about this kind of thing... Here, your taiyaki is ready." The Yamato police department picked up the paper bag and filled it with steaming taiyaki.

In front of the 　　 booth, a glamorous woman in a white fox kimono nodded slightly and reached out to take it.

　　 left one copy, and handed the other to the ghost horn boy aside.

　　 The two left immediately and walked to the next booth.

　　 Yuta Mitsui continued immediately.

　　 "If the gods are just a fantasy, fabricated by people, wouldn't their followers be so disappointed--"

　　 His words were suddenly interrupted by a few loud roars.

　　 "The priest, where are you?"

　　 "Please slow down, wait for us!"

　　 In front of the booth, a team in hunting clothes trot past.

An old man with gray beard and hair, headed by 　　, carried his trousers and ran at the forefront, looking around with an energy that was not suitable for his age.

　　 Is this a hostile shrine sent to Tenji Shrine to make trouble?

　　 Yuta Mitsui looked at this kind of human bewilderment and said that it was difficult to understand.

　　 Someone complained softly in his ear.

　　 "My sister, I said a long time ago that the oracle should not be sent down to let the priests know that you are coming here."

　　 "These people will obviously only add chaos and affect the precious time I spend with my sister..."

　　 "Don't complain at every turn, read monthly." Another voice that revealed majesty faintly sounded.

　　 "This trust of telling the whereabouts of priests is the duty of a god."

　　 "In addition, I advise you to save energy and think about how to explain to the priest Shiraki."

　　 "Uh..." Hearing this, the previous voice was suddenly choked, and the topic was quickly turned off.

　　 "Sir, let's go and see how the apple candies of God Father and Mother God are selling."

　　......

　　 "Hey, this candy is too sweet to lose teeth."

　　......

　　 "Man, is this important?"

　　 Yamato Police Department carried a bag of flour.

　　 "After all, shrines are only the product of people's desires. People want it to appear, and it appears."

　　 "Therefore, where there are believers, there will be shrines. As for whether there are gods or not, whether we can feel our prayers, then it is not an area where we can get involved."

　　 "Just like Tenji Shrine, even though the worshippers are declined, we still gather here."

　　 "Even if you cannot visit the shrine, you can let the shrine know that we are accompanying it in our way."

　　 "This is the unbreakable bond between us and the shrine. It is proof that we believe in the existence of gods."

　　 Yamato Police Department smiled.

　　 "...Thank you for your patronage, 1,200 yen."

　　 Is the bond between you the yen?

　　 Mitsui Yu is too strong to hold back the heart of spitting.

　　 "But, let's be honest." The Yamato Police Department suddenly lowered his voice.

　　 "Actually, I don't know at all, which deity is enshrined in Tenji Shrine..."

　　 Just as the two were talking, a figure hurriedly ran down on the mountain steps behind the Yamato Police Department.

　　 She is wearing a red and white witch costume ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Chihaya with a crane pattern on her shoulders.

　　 has a delicate face and a plain chest.

　　 She ran all the way to the Taiyaki shop, bent over to support her knees, panting.

　　 "Yamato...Police Department, would you please inform everyone that the beginning and the beginning of the shrine can be carried out normally..."

　　 "If you want to participate in Hatsumi, you can come to the shrine."

　　 "What!?" The Yamato Police Department was surprised and delighted.

　　 He quickly took out the walkie-talkie from his apron and gave the order.

　　 "The first group, the third group, immediately close the stalls and notify the nearby believers that the Tianji Shrine returns to normal at the beginning, and repeat, the Tianji Shrine returns to normal at the beginning."

　　 "At the same time, organize the on-site personnel to ensure the order of personnel and visit the shrine in an orderly manner."

　　 "Attention, the first batch of places to visit the shrine must be our Sixth Class of Supernatural!"

　　 "Hurry up, take action!"

Before 　　's words fell, a tumult broke out in the distance.

　　 I saw some people gave up the line, some put down the shop, and some pulled out a knife...

　　 gathered toward this mountain step aggressively from all directions.

　　 Upon seeing this, Mitsui Yuta's eyes twitched.

　　 Is this the first sacred shrine?

　　...It's really lively.
