Becoming a god in Tokyo starts in the bathroom

[Divine Skill: 5]

[5. Shrine Travel: Freely travel between various shrines belonging to different gods, regardless of distance, and directly observe the scenery outside each shrine.]

[Divine Blessing: 2 (Expand for details)]

[Curse of the Gods: 2 (Expand to view details)]

Hey, don't focus on the fact that you can see the views outside the various shrines when you walk around the shrines!

"Hiss~ This [Divine Influence] finally feels like a divine thing!"

Goodness, He Chen's spirits immediately lifted.

He never expected that the [divine favoritism] he received would be restoration!

This introduction is absolutely amazing.

Restoring one's spirit and body—isn't that just adding blue and red?

When you're tired, you can rejuvenate your spirit; when you're exhausted, you can rejuvenate your body. In theory, wouldn't this allow believers to keep working? Uh oh, no, why did I even think of that?

Wouldn't this allow believers to continuously learn and maintain a high level of readiness during important moments?

He Chen let his thoughts wander freely and came up with a lot of ideas.

For everyday things, like when you're mentally exhausted, a quickie will put you back into peak performance for work or study; before a competition, you'll be in top form; or before something else, you won't be complained about for not lasting long enough...

It can be used in almost every aspect of life, so the range of applications is exceptionally wide.

At the same time, in special circumstances, such as when suddenly encountering a crisis but still asleep, he can completely restore the other person's spirit and wake them up naturally, without having to use curses to wake the believer up because they need to urinate.

Moreover, if a believer is slashed or in a car accident, or is in critical condition but still alive, he can use this method to save their life or even cure them!

even......

If one's abilities are strong enough, can one also reverse the aging process of the body?

In that case, wouldn't it be possible to achieve the effect of reversing aging?

What is a miracle?! This is an absolute, unequivocal miracle!

"Well, I still hope this situation doesn't occur before I've mastered this skill, otherwise, the backlash might..."

As you can see, the backlash intensity displayed on the system panel is still much greater; this attack is basically equivalent to two or three times the backlash effect.

If you try to reverse your age now, you'll only be able to reverse it for a year, maintain it for a short while, and then age several years directly!

Eh? !

"...Sigh, can it only be used on believers now? Damn it."

He almost thought he had found the ability to forge historical years. If he could create a phone from a thousand years ago that even carbon-14 dating couldn't detect, wouldn't that be amazing?

Unfortunately, at present, the [Divine Favoritism] level ability can only be used on believers to level up.

"Hmm, the abilities of mystery, learning, and luck have also made progress, that's good."

When Anami Matsuori preached, she repeatedly emphasized these key areas, so believers believed that God had these abilities.

Therefore, although He Chen did not practice these specializations, his proficiency in them still increased when he looked at the panel.

Through the joint promotion by the bathhouse, He Chen not only gained dozens more believers, but also made great progress in all aspects, even the power of the divine name of bathing and blessing was enhanced!

"Is my destiny to be in the bathroom?"

"And...it's the women's bathroom?"

Chapter 76 With money, you can sponsor high school girls!

Regardless of what He Chen was feeling here, Anzu Matsuori and Grandma Kubo were already welcoming a large group of new customers.

The newly built shrine has come in handy right now.

Each customer who entered followed the same procedure as the previous customer: upon entering, they greeted her, paid money to Grandma Kubo, offered incense money to the "God of the Bathhouse" and to Anzu Matsuori, who was dressed as a shrine maiden, and then respectfully bowed before going in to take a bath.

To put it simply, it was so smooth and absurd that Anzu Matsuori was completely dumbfounded.

Is this considered a great success in missionary work?

Although the space inside the bathhouse is limited, and the large public bath, despite being the largest in the bathhouse, can only accommodate a limited number of people, it takes quite some time before a small group of people can enter.

However, even so, the number of customers who have become believers in the "God of the Restroom" on an assembly line basis has already reached several dozen.

This doesn't even take into account the unintentional, spontaneous followers who develop a faith after the belief in a deity spreads. Wait, why does this sound like an unplanned pregnancy?

In any case, Grandma Kubo's bathroom has now become a printing press for He Chen's followers, producing a constant stream of believers.

Among them, the group of customers who directly witnessed the miracle at the beginning, or rather, those who participated in watching Anzu Matsuori take a bath and were converted into believers, were the most devout. Basically, the vast majority of them were already at the stage of shallow believers, or even had taken a big step on the road to becoming true believers.

Most of the believers who were subsequently summoned or came after hearing the news were just casual believers.

After all, it's best not to say it, but from the perspective of those discerning new customers:

Soaking in the bath is indeed comfortable, effective, and miraculous, but if you want to use the name of the gods to make the bath even more magical and mysterious, you should at least make the shrine look better so that people can believe it more easily.

The shrine at the entrance was clearly erected just in the last couple of days... Huh? It was only set up half an hour ago? ???

So it really is a made-up god! Is charging in two separate sessions just to prevent nobody from coming if it's all combined, you bastard!

Furthermore, they claim that gods govern learning and good fortune... Shouldn't the next step be to put up a raffle machine or a claw machine at the store entrance?

The little witch at the door is quite pretty and cute, smart and adorable, beautiful and generous—she's clearly a good child.

Ok?

No, no, how could this be something Anzu Matsuori was just imagining and daydreaming out of boredom?

Don't assume it was the little witch's own idea just because she was praised at the end. It's possible, though; yes, she has a friend, after all.

'My Lord, judging by the time, I probably won't be able to go to the raffle booth today. And, will we still go to the raffle booth in the future?'

Anzu Matsuori has already reported the matter of the shrine to the deity, and also explained the location of the shrine.

Well, it's hard to say whether I'm glad or regretful, but it's just... tasteless.

"Why can't you go? Hey, and the prize draw booths can make money, and each time it's tens of thousands. You're not even willing to take the money?"

"Because I'm constantly guiding new customers to believe in you, and... each one of them gives me incense money! Waaah, every single one of them gives me so much money, I'm going to be rich!"

On the surface, Anzu Matsuori maintained her demure and smiling shrine maiden image, but in reality, she was incredibly excited as she received those banknotes.

A whole semester! After her parents' accident, she worked hard to support herself.

To earn an extra 1,000 yen by working overtime, and to save 100 yen by living frugally.

That is to say, she is truly optimistic and strong; otherwise, it's hard to say what the outcome would have been after a semester.

Now, she can simply wait a while and collect ten banknotes without any negative consequences! This is simply wonderful!

"Hmm? Little believer, are you misunderstanding something? Come, tell me, what's the name of this thing you received?"

'Of course it's money!'

"So, what's the name of this money?"

'Incense... incense money.'

Incense money is money that believers offer to the gods.

In real life, however, the money offered for incense is treated like money stolen by robbers; whoever receives it keeps it.

As long as one doesn't indulge in frivolous spending in front of believers, one can spend money as one pleases.

But Anzu Matsuori's situation is different. While others only have morality above them, she truly has a god above her!

Others collect money on behalf of the gods, but they keep the money for themselves; but when Anzu Matsuori collects money on behalf of the gods, the money actually reaches the gods!

Goodness, so she thought she was starting her own business, but actually she was still just working for someone else?

After being suddenly reminded of this, Anzu Matsuori became completely gloomy.

He Chen immediately comforted him:

"Ahem, the money is definitely mine; there's no question about that."

"However, you are my chief follower, and theoretically, you could be the Pope. I'll definitely pay you a salary! Besides, this money is really related to you. You could say that you're the one who conquered this bathhouse market—oops, I mean, this shrine. I'll definitely reward you!"

"The reward... will be no less than 50,000 yen! And we'll even reimburse your expenses for the shrine maiden outfit~"

With the 50,000 yen spent, Anzu Matsuori's expression instantly brightened, her gray-white complexion returning to vibrant colors, and her spirits lifted immediately.

The money definitely belonged to He Chen, there was no doubt about that. However, He Chen wasn't very interested in money in the real world, so he didn't intend to take it all.

Of course, it's impossible to give them all to Anzu Matsuori.

He could keep some money for two purposes: firstly, to buy snacks, subscribe to memberships, and spend money on in-game purchases; secondly, to help his followers.

Hmm? Or was it used on Anzu Matsuori?

That's a wrong way of thinking.

He Chen now has more than two hundred followers. Not to mention the women from well-off families, there are bound to be some of his female high school student followers who are suddenly short of money or have always been short of money.

With the money, he could help them out.

Moreover, with money, he can buy tools and supplies. If a believer has an emergency, he can use the divine skill of "divine gift" to send some tools over!

For example, if a believer is lost in the desert and is about to die of thirst and can only drink his own circulating liquid, He Chen could simply send him a bottle of mineral water after he finishes drinking it!

Right!

After all, as the "God of the Bathroom," he already possesses two hundred and forty...

"Huh? How come there are suddenly twenty more?"

Looking out from the shrine, it was currently the time for the bathhouse queue to open, and the next batch of customers was still waiting in line.

However, He Chen's panel suddenly showed more than twenty new followers, and judging from their names, they were all young girls!

"Is this... someone else helping me spread my faith?"

Chapter Seventy-Seven Hiss

Just as He Chen was in a daze, several more notifications popped up on the panel:

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on gaining a follower! Your divine power has increased, and you have been rewarded with an additional 1 unit of divine domain size!]
