Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Mochizuki Haruka anticipated that she would be walking around the zoo today, so she wore a pair of light shoes and a short skirt to facilitate movement. It was really hard to imagine that she would trip on flat ground.

And according to her, she bumped into something and her steps became unsteady...

The two of them maintained a frontal hugging posture and looked towards the place where Mochizuki Haruka had just tripped, but there was really nothing there, just flat ground.

So what could be the hard object that she hit and made her unsteady on her feet?

The two were confused for a moment, and just stared at each other at a very close distance that their noses were almost touching.

"Sousuke, do you think it's possible that the gods have specifically told us that the bad karma has been cut off and asked us to rest assured?"

It was unknown how long this posture lasted, but the gentle voice of Mochizuki Haruka rang in Ginjo's ears.

"Is that why He had to trip you up and leave us holding each other like this?"

In a place like this, there may be some things that really cannot be explained by common sense.

"Yeah, I think that's right. If you think about it this way, it feels more like God is blessing us."

"Wouldn't Sosuke be very happy? Anyway, I'm going to take it for granted that this matter is a promise made by God to us."

People call this torii the Zanen Torii, but in fact, among the gods enshrined in the main hall, there is also the god of marriage.

Mochizuki Haruka believed that this must be the result of the God of Boundaries.

Seeing the smile gradually appearing on her face, Ginjo felt that there was nothing wrong with thinking this way.

After all, the purpose of coming to such a place is to find a place to place your good wishes.

"In this case, we have to thank this god. Get up, Xiaoyao, we still have to go to the main temple to pay homage."

"Yeah, I have to thank Him properly later."

The two of them were still hugging each other and just turned to look at me.

It was only then that they discovered that after passing through the torii gate, the road leading to the shrine was lined with sunflowers in full bloom.

These sunflowers are like a golden ocean, swaying gently in the breeze, rendering people's faith in midsummer extremely brilliant.

Each sunflower is tall and upright, with a huge golden flower disk on the green stem that blooms towards the sun, warm and unrestrained.

The pale yellow stamens between the petals exude a charming fragrance. The scene is in no way inferior to the beautiful scenery when people enjoy cherry blossoms in March and April.

"It's so beautiful. I didn't expect to see all kinds of beautiful scenery today."

"Yeah, and this time is just right, there aren't many tourists anymore."

The two people were able to maintain this cuddling posture on the cobblestone road because there was no one else passing by on this path.

The quiet and winding path, the lingering sea of ​​blooming flowers, and the delicate and soft girl, all of these combined can easily stimulate people's primitive impulses...

Chapter 375: Deserted Path

If they were in some other place, with the right time, place and people, Ginjo Sousuke might have taught Mochizuki Haruka some outdoor exercises.

But on the road leading to the main shrine, he always felt that there was a pair of invisible eyes watching the people walking here.

If you act recklessly here, it might be regarded as blasphemy against God.

Ginjo had spent most of the day cuddling with Mochizuki Haruka, being rubbed against her voluptuous figure, and he had actually accumulated quite a bit of internal anger.

It seemed that she would have to wait until she returned to the apartment at night before she, the culprit, could put out the fire herself.

"It's great to be here today. It feels like we have created another unforgettable memory for our date."

"Xiaoyao, it sounds like the date is over, but we still have to continue. Okay, let's go to the main temple and pay our respects."

"Yeah, Sousuke is right, let's go."

Mochizuki Haruka slowly stood up from Ginjo's arms, then a smile appeared on her face, and in a somewhat pretentious way, she reached out to gesture to hold his hand.

Except for the brief separation when passing through the torii gate, she couldn't leave Ginjo's side the rest of the time.

Whether it's holding hands or linking arms, as long as she can touch his body, Mochizuki Haruka will feel very safe.

Walking along the road decorated with sunflowers, you can look up and see the tall palace in the distance.

The appearance of the main hall gives people a solemn and mysterious feeling. The roof has a moderate slope and smooth lines, and is covered with dark tiles, which looks both simple and elegant.

The wooden pillars blend perfectly with the atmosphere here. The wood has been carefully processed and polished, and the surface presents a natural luster and texture, which is warm and friendly.

The weather is very good today, the wind is gentle, and the temperature at this time is not so unbearable.

With the person you love most by your side, holding hands with this person, you walk slowly and leisurely on the road where petals are flying.

Mochizuki Haruka felt that this was an extremely happy time that she wanted to last forever.

But as she got closer to the main hall, she quietly became more and more nervous.

In addition to the "Zanen Torii", this shrine is actually more famous for the "Yuuen Shrine" inside it.

The main purpose of people visiting this shrine is to pass through the torii gate to cut off bad karma, then worship at the main hall to seek a good relationship.

They have now passed through the Torii Gate, and in doing so, the bad karma that existed between the two of them will disappear.

Then all you have to do is pray for a good match in this temple, hoping that the relationship will blossom and bear fruit. I hope that the two of you will be able to have smooth and peaceful times in the days ahead.

It may sound a little strange that two people still pray for a relationship to blossom when they have clearly done everything they should do.

But considering that they have been together for such a short time, Mochizuki Haruka still hopes that this relationship can have a better future.

So now she wants to do everything she needs to do.

Even though she doesn't usually pray for God's blessing, Mochizuki Haruka now begins to believe from the bottom of her heart that she will do whatever it takes to get good luck.

The palace in the distance reflected soft sunlight, and the light entered their eyes, as if blessing them.

Mochizuki Haruka wondered if she was thinking too highly of everything.

"But God, even if I am just imagining things, I will sincerely make a wish to you later."

"I hope you can bless me and Sosuke's future with all the best. Please."

On the way there, she had been praying silently in her heart.

The two of them held hands, chatted about irrelevant topics, and smiled at each other. They were just walking together, but they felt so happy and blessed.

"It feels so magical. It's just an ordinary road with sunflowers, but just being inside the shrine gives me a sense of mystery."

"Yes, maybe it's because I can see the main temple from here. The more it is like this, the closer I feel to God."

"You know what, Sousuke? It seems that this shrine is a famous power spot."

"Power attractions? So Xiaoyao believes in this kind of thing?"

"Well, girls may not believe in realism as much as boys, right?"

"In fact, I just started to believe it recently, so today I am walking on this road according to the rules."

"Rules? But we are just walking as usual. Does this count as following any rules?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked in confusion after hearing her words.

"Don't you notice that we've been walking on the edge of the road, Sousuke?"

Mochizuki Haruka paused for a moment, and Ginjo noticed that under her guidance, the two people did deliberately avoid the middle of the road.

"It seems to be true. Why is that?"

"Well, it is said that the center of the road is where the gods walk. In order to avoid blocking them, we have to walk on both sides of the road like we are doing now."

"So there's such a saying. No wonder you reminded me to walk along the edge when we were passing through the torii gate just now."

Ginjo Sousuke recalled the previous scene and nodded in response to Mochizuki Haruka.

"Actually, I only saw someone say this when I was looking through the information here. I just think that when you ask God for help, it's better to try to follow the rules."

"Don't people say that the most important thing when you come to a shrine is your intention? This probably means that your behavior is also important, right?"

"You have researched so much information in advance. If you are so attentive, what wish do you want to make?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked seemingly casually.

"I want to make a wish... I want to pray to God to bless us to be together in the future... That's why I did so much homework."

She had actually said these words to Ginjo just now, but she still felt a little embarrassed to say them again like this, and a blush naturally rose on her fair cheeks.

These were undoubtedly her true words, so she wanted to let Yincheng feel her feelings over and over again.

Mochizuki Haruka reflexively scratched her cheek with her fingers and slowly moved her eyes away from Ginjō's face.

But Ginjo came closer, peering at her expression from below, and made eye contact with her.

"In that case, Xiaoyao, please tell me the other rules as well. If we do it together, maybe the effect will be doubled, right?"

Ginjo Sousuke smiled as he continued to stay close to her body.

Although she was the one who brought Ginjō to the shrine, she deliberately did not ask Ginjō what he wanted to wish for.

Mochizuki Haruka was actually a little afraid to ask him this question, but when she saw his smile as bright as the sun, she always felt relieved.

"Sosuke is right. Maybe if two people do it together, the effect will be doubled."

Mochizuki Haruka knew that this might be Ginjo's way of being considerate to her, but she was still grateful and told Ginjo about the complicated shrine etiquette that she had found on the Internet.

"There are so many rules? I really didn't know these before. It's amazing that Xiaoyao can remember them so clearly after looking them up."

"Well... because... I really want my wishes to come true... so I tried very hard to write them all down."

Mochizuki Haruka pleaded with him in a low voice, letting go of Ginjō's hand and holding his arm instead.

"If the gods knew how hard you worked, they would definitely let you get what you want."

Ginjo Sousuke smiled again and said to her.

The two of them walked a short distance forward and arrived at the main hall of the shrine.

After arriving here, Yincheng realized that there were actually quite a few people coming to worship. Perhaps they all came from other routes.

People hold their own wishes and pray to the gods devoutly.

Ginjo Sosuke and Mochizuki Haruka washed their hands according to etiquette, and finally began to worship with a bit of nervousness.

Under the guidance of the staff, they put in incense money and rang the bells.

One thing you need to pay special attention to is that the incense money must never be thrown away, and in the process you must never forget that you are making a wish to the gods.
