I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

Shiraki Shun shook his head, then made a decision.

These questions should be asked of the gods after they awaken.

He looked up at the hall.

Having learned from the previous experience, the gods absorbed the power of wishes much faster this time.

With each breath from her delicate nose, immense spiritual power flowed through her petite body, absorbed by the gods.

At this rate, he should wake up soon.

Thinking this, Shiramu Jun took out his phone.

Online, the videos posted by Yu Chuan Ye Ye continue to be very popular.

Shiraki Shun scrolled through the comments section.

In the comments section, there were many more people sharing their talismans and showing off their red seals.

They were all obtained from the Tenji Shrine.

After all, when you come to a shrine, you either ask for an amulet to protect yourself, or you buy a goshuin (shrine stamp) as proof of your visit.

Furthermore, Shiraki Shun did not appear at the shrine.

Although they didn't see the priest from the video, everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

The discussion has even gained more attention.

Aside from the mysterious Shiraki Shun, the discussion focused more on the two shrine maidens, Hanekawa Yaya and Kokonoe Reina.

Many comments are debating who is the shrine's chief priestess.

The conflict escalated, even becoming quite heated.

Many passersby who saw the photos of the two people posted immediately expressed their desire to visit and pay their respects.

Seeing this, Shiramu Shun was also somewhat moved.

Indeed, shrine maidens are the primary driving force behind the prosperity of shrines.

While there was still some time, Shiramu Jun also put down his phone.

Judging by the popularity, there will be quite a few worshippers at the shrine today.

Yesterday, almost all the Shinto souvenirs at the shrine were sold out.

Including Ema, Goshu Seal, Divine Lotus, and Gomori

Traditionally, Shinto items are made by the gods.

Since the gods are still resting at this moment, the task of making divine items falls on him, the priest.

Right now, the easiest things to make are omamori (amulet) and goshuin (vermilion seal).

All you need to do is stuff a wooden piece representing the Tenji Shrine into the pouch.

The other one only requires writing the words "pay homage" by hand, adding today's date, and then stamping it with the shrine's seal to complete the process.

It took two hours.

Shiraki Shun made fifty omamori (amulet items) and wrote two hundred shoji (imperial seals).

However, he did not recklessly inject mana.

Only a tiny bit was injected.

Because Shiraki Shun had realized that creating a seal guardian like the one before might not be reasonable.

It's worth noting that Bai Mujun only used a thousand points of magic power to make that shell sentient.

Wearing an amulet containing over a thousand points of mana—

Wouldn't that be equivalent to carrying around a monster that has cultivated for hundreds of years?

However, seeing that the people guarded by the seals did not show any abnormality, Shiraki Jun did not intervene.

We can just quietly take it back when they come to the shrine to fulfill their vows next year.

Chiyoda Ward, inside Kanda Shrine.

"Grandma, please listen to me, Grandma!"

Hanekawa Yaya was pestering Granny Chiyo, launching wave after wave of attacks.

"Grandma Chiyo, as a shrine maiden, shouldn't I do my part for the shrine?"

"Don't give me that." Granny Chiyo tapped Hanekawa Yaya's forehead in an annoyed tone.

"You can't hide your little schemes from anyone."

"Tell me, why did you take a liking to that thing?"

"Hehe," Yuukawa Yaya, having been exposed, revealed a cute smile.

"Actually, I wanted to show it to Priest Shiraki. You've been studying it for a long time, haven't you, Granny?"

"Why don't we let Priest Shiraki take a look? Maybe he'll discover something?"

"Priest Shiraki?" Granny Chiyo was taken aback.

Granny Chiyo was also familiar with the Whitewood Priest that Hanekawa Yaya mentioned.

The mass disappearance of spirits in Meguro Ward that day was the work of this priest.

Hanekawa Yaya even said that the yokai in Meguro Ward had been eliminated by that priest.

Granny Chiyo couldn't help but feel a little curious about this priest she had never met before.

Moreover, she has been researching this for three years.

Over three years, I listened to the content thousands of times, but I still had no clue what to do.

Perhaps that white-robed priest really can solve this mystery.

"Okay." Granny Chiyo finally nodded in agreement. "I agree."

"Yay! That's great!" Hanekawa Yaya exclaimed excitedly, hugging Granny Chiyo's arm.

Seeing Hanekawa's cheerful demeanor, Granny Chiyo frowned slightly.

"but--"

"Ye Ye, if you keep taking things out of the house like this, what will you do after you get married?"

Grandma Chiyo glanced at Hanekawa Yaya with some worry, as if she could see the not-too-distant future ahead.

Hearing this, Yuukawa Yaya's ears turned slightly red, and she said coquettishly.

"Grandma, what are you saying!"

"I am a priestess! A priestess! One who serves the gods wholeheartedly!"

"Well, alright, alright, I won't say anymore." Granny Chiyo patted Hanekawa Yaya's head with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm leaving now," Yuukawa Yaya said obediently.

As she reached the door, Granny Chiyo suddenly called out to her again.

"Oh, right, Yaya."

There's something I need to make clear to you.

"Hmm? Please speak, Grandma." Yu Chuan Ye Ye twisted her slender ankle and nimbly turned around.

Grandma Chiyo stared seriously into her eyes and gave her a serious lecture.

"You must remember, a priestess simply cannot marry."

"It's not that you can't be in a relationship."

Yuukawa Yaya was taken aback.

It took me a moment to realize what was happening.

He said, filled with shame and indignation.

"Oh, my mother-in-law, really!"

With a frustrated stomp of his red straw sandal, he quickly turned and ran out the door.

Grandma Chiyo smiled kindly, her eyes fixed on Hanekawa Yaya's retreating figure.

If that priest, Shiraki, could truly solve this mystery that has baffled all the priests in Tokyo...

The ranking of shrines in Tokyo might have to change.

Chapter Seventy: Grasping the Code to Wealth

A day passed quickly.

dusk.

Shiraki Shun returned to the shrine.

Inside the shrine, most of the worshippers who came to pay their respects had already left.

Only the ema boards hanging in the corners tell of the daytime hustle and bustle.

Upon entering the shrine, one sees Reina Kokonoe standing in front of the worship hall.

Holding a Kagura bell, she dances lightly among the falling leaves.

The rupan and kukama fluttered, presenting a beautiful scene.

Seeing Kokonoe Reina's absorbed expression, Shiraki Shun remained silent and watched quietly from the side.

After finishing a short section of her dance, Kokonoe Reina let out a soft breath before turning around.

Upon seeing Shiramu Shun, he was taken aback.

"Shiraki-san, when did you get back?"

"I just got back," Bai Mujun said with a smile.

"Kujō-kun danced very well. Did you practice before?"

Shiraki Shun's generous praise made Kokonoe Reina's pretty face blush slightly.
