Chapter 1342 – [The Hateful and the Hateful]

Since Kyoto is the former capital of Japan, there are many cultural heritages. On the other hand, can you take Gyeongju in Korea as an example?

Maybe that’s why when localizing something like animation, it often comes out as a race. No, I wonder if there are any localized anime these days.

Anyway, there will be a lot to see, and then there will be a lot to eat, so Eden was excited. While Keter is working, we have to work, so we can’t play too much, but there’s one thing to enjoy nonetheless.

The view of Kyoto as we headed to our destination, Yasaka Shrine, was quite old-fashioned. Buildings and Towers made of wood stood out, and Eden and Ji-hee, who were traveling to Japan for the first time, also glared at the sight of Kyoto outside the window.

“Wow, it’s cool. I really like that it feels like I’m in Japan.”

“When you see it at night, it looks even cooler because the lights are on. It’s hard to see it today, and I think I’ll stay at the shrine instead.”

“Yes? At the shrine? Is that okay?”

“Anyway, if you’re a gentleman, Mr. Susanoo, it’s like a friend’s house. Why don’t you sleep there?”

“Normally, I don’t call God my friend…”

“He’s a pretty good person to get to know. Didn’t you see him at the God of Pop concert before?”

“No, I couldn’t speak properly. How do humans normally talk to gods comfortably?”

“It’s okay because it’s not a god like that, otherwise I wouldn’t say I’m your friend”

“Is there a god who says that you are not a friend?”

“There are gods who say they are acquaintances, if not friends, but there is no god who is not even that.”

Because I killed all the gods I didn’t even know.

It is unavoidable. I also have human sensibilities, so I can’t fully understand the gods, and there are parts that I can’t understand even the relatively close god Susanoo-san, who is called a friend, but even if I don’t understand it, I understand it.

Even if God accepts human sacrifice, it’s okay, and then it’s fixed and changed as it develops, and I can understand it, so I tolerate it up to a certain point, but when it crosses that line, I get angry.

Is it the same as a god who accepts human sacrifices and a god who treats humans like insects? At least the former will protect you if you offer such a sacrifice, but the latter is better off without it.

Is it God’s role to give trials to humans? Don’t fuck, the world has enough trials just for humans, but there’s no need for God to give them trials. And if you don’t need it, you’ll have to rip up a god or something.

Anyway, we arrive at Yasaka Shrine and go up there. Originally, there would have been a lot of tourists, but it was quiet, perhaps blocking people separately.

“There are a lot of people outside, but no one here.”

“There were rumors that Mr. Susanoo-san was coming, but there must have been a crowd of people who came to see the shrine maiden. Even so, there could be problems, so if possible, we should try to keep the general public from coming.”

“Well, Mr. Susanoo is generous in his own way, but he’s not a go-goo enough to forgive people who don’t understand the subject matter.”

Mr. Susanoo is a good god even by human standards. He made some mistakes, and he doesn’t punish them with them. When I was in my first reincarnation, even when I was not a transcendent, let alone a great demon king, we joked with each other and cursed at each other.

However, that does not mean that God does not allow humans who act rudely without understanding the subject. It’s good to give attention, but there won’t be only good attention out of that attention, and some idiot human beings may commit stupid things.

If there’s a problem, I’ll just ban the general public from entering. Maybe for a while Yasaka Shrine won’t accept outside guests.

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you”

Did you say a white top and a red bottom, and the lower part is a hakama? We were greeted by a neat yet outstandingly beautiful woman with the impression that comes to mind when thinking of a shaman.

Even if you don’t like God, you’re pretty bright about myths and stuff like that, and I know it because I’ve heard a lot from Susanoo-san. The miko wore a hakama in the form of pants, not a hakama in the form of a skirt. Originally, Miko’s uniform was improved once, but wearing a hakama on the pants side is the traditional way.

It seemed to be the shrine maiden of this shrine. Usually, young shrine maidens these days are mostly hired as part-timers, but judging from the feeling of spiritual power, it seems that a real spiritual power is in charge of the shrine maiden’s work.

“My name is Mayumi Yasaka, who currently serves as a shrine maiden at this shrine.”

“I came without a mask, but you know who I am. What about the lord?”

Although the Chinese characters are written as lord and lord, the priest I am talking about is not the lord of a shrine, but a priest-like person. Strictly speaking, the owner of this Yasaka Shrine is Mr. Susanoo.

“Since Hsinchu is currently away, I’m going to respond to you instead. So, if you have any questions, just ask me.”

“Hmm?”

Even if the shaman is not there, the priest is not there?

Other times it might. However, there must have been news that Mr. Susanoo’s shrine maiden was visiting, but he was away at this time?

Something smells. But I have no intention of asking that right now. It’s not urgent anyway, it’s something to do when you get to know it slowly.

“Let’s eat inside. Let me briefly tell you about the structure and history of this place.”

It may not be known if it is the original Earth’s history, but this is a place where people with special abilities exist. Just as Korean shamans have psychic powers, in Japan, shrine maidens and monks at shrines and temples have psychic powers, so there will be some differences from ordinary earth.

I hear stories like this with stories like that. Personally, I was interested in Shinhwa and that side, so I was able to listen to it quite fun.

“I heard that the shrine maiden serving Susano-sama is coming today. Perhaps the one over there is the shrine maiden.”

“Yes, my name is Choi Eden.”

“I understand that you visited our shrine this time to help calm the typhoon with the help of Susanoo-sama.

“I know”

In fact, there’s no need to hold a complicated ritual and do anything, but… We should respect this side. If you live while ignoring others just because you are good, you may not be able to live a long life without being criticized.

First of all, we told Ji-hee to wait at the dorm to stay separately and left separately. Actually, I would like to take you there, but the shrine’s main shrine is not a place that anyone can enter.

Since the main hall of the shrine contains the body of the god enshrined, only those concerned could enter. If it was Susanoo-san, he might not take it seriously since Ji-hee isn’t a stranger and he knows her, but this is related to religious etiquette.

I, Susanoo-san’s shaman, Eden, is my father, and it would be possible to go to Dongseok in the name of the impersonator, but otherwise I would not have been able to enter the main shrine. If I go in by force, no one will stop me, but I don’t want to.

“Stay here for a minute. I’m sorry I left you alone, Jihee.”

“No, I’m fine. Please make up for it later instead.”

“Supplement?”

“I want to drink Japanese sake when I come to Japan, but how about going out and drinking later?”

“Well, that’s not bad. Then let’s do it.”

…….Wait, now that I think about it, what did I do when I drank with Jihee before? I have a creeping feeling that something is wrong. It is not a crisis of life, but a crisis of a different meaning.

When I left Jihee at the dorm, Eden poked me in the side and said with a sly smile.

“Oh, are you going on a date with Jihee unnie?

“Uh huh, Eden can’t do that to your dad!!!!!”

“I don’t know if Keter will be back by then, but when she does, I’ll cover the two so we can go on a date.”

“Why are you pushing your back when you can’t stop it?!”

“Because it’s such a good thing to have a growing family!!!”

“…….Okay, Daddy, let’s not talk.”

Afterwards, Eden changed her clothes separately. She wants to hold a memorial service, but she can’t do it in a tourist outfit. Moreover, it will be a good experience for Eden as well.

And what Eden changed into was a shaman’s uniform. That’s why the shaman who guided us was wearing.

Even though Eden is a model figure, she is quite tall even as a woman, but she originally had a wide body and a long dan, so there was no problem with her size. However, if there was one place where she was worried about her size, it was her chest.

“I don’t get involved, but it looks like a shrine maiden from a game console that boys watch in front of the stationery store. What was it, Tengai?”

“Do you have a game machine like that these days?”

“There was. I saw boys bruising in front of the stationery store after school.”

“Uhhhhh, there’s not much difference between kids these days and kids when they were fathers.”

“To be honest, even women pay attention to things that are big.”

Her forehead was not loosened to reveal her cleavage, but Eden’s chest stood out especially in spite of the wide shaman’s attire. Apart from her hips, her waist was thin, but her breasts were even more conspicuous because they showed off their massive size.

She is obviously wearing a much more traditional shaman’s outfit, which was provided by a venerable shrine, but why does it feel like she’s cosplaying when Eden wears it?

When Eden changes all her clothes, she is here. Did she say Yasaka? She came back to us While treating us with restraint of her own emotions, she sees that Eden is wearing her shaman’s costume, and is startled as she hardens her complexion.

“……Should I have given you a larger size?”

“No, I think this will suffice.”

“If you feel uncomfortable while moving, please tell us now. When offering a ceremony, we have to dance kagura to offer to the gods, but it shouldn’t be uncomfortable.”

Kagura (神樂) is a dance dedicated to the gods. It is a bit similar to the sword dance performed by a shaman, but it is inevitably different because the religion and country are different.

Eden often danced as a memorial service, but she never danced anything openly dedicated to God. I didn’t even have to do it in the first place.

“Kagura…”

“Eden thinks you’re weird again”

“The only Kagura I know is Hinokami Kagura!!!! Sun Breath Type 1!!! Wonmu!!!!”

“I knew it would sound like that.”

In response to Eden’s reaction, instead, Miko Yasaka smiled lightly and nodded her head as if she was used to it.

“I often hear such stories from children. Susanoo-sama is a famous Japanese martial god, and I wonder if there is some kind of martial arts hidden in the kagura dedicated at such a shrine to Susanoo-sama.”

“It’s because they’re children, so they imagine. Isn’t children’s imagination limitless?

“Actually, it’s not entirely wrong.”

“No, are you really serious?!”

Why is this real?!

If they knew the circumstances, there would be no one or two Japanese children who would go mad. The setting of one of the most popular cartoons these days is real, and some people might come here just to learn it.

No, rather, maybe not a child, but an adult. Moreover, it could be even more so now that the existence of a person with special abilities has been revealed.

“As much as the kagura dedicated to Susanoo has a martial element, it has been modified and changed over hundreds of years, and has gained some practicality.”

“Her………”

Even a simple dance would have its own technique if it had been passed down for hundreds of years, let alone a dance dedicated to a god of war…… I can understand it.

Besides, isn’t this the earth where people with special abilities actually exist? It’s not strange even if it’s true. Rather a surprise

“Wait, then isn’t Kagura just as important? To our Eden?”

“Because she is the real Susanoo-sama. In fact, as soon as I first saw her, I was astonished at the divine energy flowing from Eden-sama’s body. We naturally do what we have to do to the shrine maiden who serves him closely.”

If there was a cultural heritage level, if it was Murim, I would tell Eden about something that is passed down only in secret.

It is correct to calculate the gains and losses there, but on the other hand, it was also the meaning of a person who was in a new position. Although in this world, gods are nothing more than a false means to increase the power of spiritual powers, or rather, it may be that they are expecting the appearance of a real god.

Either way it doesn’t matter. The important thing is whether it harms or benefits Eden. In this case, I’m going to watch it because it’s profitable.

Before long, we moved to a place to hold a ceremony in earnest. Oh, of course, I also changed into something neat separately before.

And the place we arrived afterwards was the building at the back of the Yasaka Shrine, the main hall of the shrine.

It’s not usually a place where people come and go, but it was cleaned very neatly, so I didn’t see a single stone on the floor. It’s usually well-maintained, but I wonder if it’s been touched up once again because of this incident.

In addition to us, there were other members of the Shinto priesthood in this place. It is probably playing a role such as assisting in ancestral rites.

“I-that one…”

“I heard you came from Korea, but aren’t you a Westerner?”

“Beautiful…….”

As they looked at Eden in the shaman’s costume, each of them said a word. But in the end, what he did at the end was to look at Eden’s appearance and be mesmerized.

As long as the aesthetic standard itself is not different, Eden is bound to hear that she is pretty wherever she goes, and depending on the times and circumstances, she was a beauty that could be easily overlooked.

Moreover, even if he looks like a cosplayer because of his body, if he keeps his mouth shut and stays quiet, he shows off his strange charm more than usual. Is it because he is raising his spiritual power to summon Susano-san? Something feels strangely out of touch with reality.

“How do you teach Kagura? Is there something you have to learn on your own after just watching it, or is there a secret level?”

“There is a video that I took to pass it on separately, so I pass it on after watching it.”

“Ah, why modern civilization there”

“No matter how much it is, if you tell it from person to person, there will be cases where it’s actually used in the middle.”

It was a bit of a let down story, but I could understand it nonetheless. What if the ancestors die before handing it on? Since it was so important, there had to be a way to pass it on.

Eden went through the process of learning Kagura while watching videos for a while. Eden was smart, so it didn’t take that long to learn kagura.

………But from what I’ve seen, this doesn’t seem like a simple dance.

Of course, as I said before, since it is a dance dedicated to a god of war, it tends to be somewhat uneducated, and since it is a kagura performed by a psychic like Miko Yasaka, it is thought to be exclusively for psychic powers… Same.

What was it Like the way the Vatican Exorcist team specialized in strengthening the body before, feeling like a different feeling?

A genius doesn’t particularly care about the country or era in which he was born, so he seemed to be an outstanding person, whether it was the god who made it or the shaman. I can also analyze it, but it will take some time.

It’s not because it’s difficult, it’s because I’m going to be crazy. Beomjae needs that much time and effort to catch up with genius. Even now, if it wasn’t for my intuition, I wouldn’t have noticed that this isn’t your average Kagura.

“It’s a strange dance.”

“Does Miko feel anything?”

“Once I’ve memorized everything, I think I can do it right away. It’s better to practice once or twice before starting.”

Soon, the real Kagura begins. Miko Yasaka and Eden stood side by side in front of the main shrine holding the sacrificial swords needed to dance kagura.

It’s not originally a two-person kagura, but it’s still quite a sight to see. Eden is originally, but Miko Yasaka is also pretty in her own right.

If Xion saw it, he would have taken a picture saying it was photo time, but it’s a pity that he couldn’t take a picture separately. I think it would be nice to film what Eden does later on.

As he continued to watch, Kagura gradually reached a climax. Seeing the dance in person, there seemed to be something awkward or awkward about it, but it still felt quite danceable. Especially since I dance with a sword, it feels like sword dance.

“My dear Takehayasusano Onomikoto, Kushinadahime-no-Mikoto, and your son and daughter, Yahashira-no-Mikogami.”

Hey, experts are different. Susanoo-san’s full name alone would make your tongue twist, but seeing how you pronounce it properly without even saying it.

He knows that, and often says that he gets tongue twisted when he says his name, but it’s strange to think that he calls the priestess of the new gentleman properly.

“As I offer this kagura to the gods, please let go of my anger and pass on the typhoon”

“OK”

Drooling!!!

At that time, Mr. Susanoo openly appeared in the main shrine, pushing open the sliding paper door.

No, why are you out there?!?!?!

“Huh? Huh?”

“No, Susanoo-san. Why are you here?!”

“I’m coming out of my house. Is that something to tackle?”

“Weren’t you in Egypt? Constable Bastet?”

“Of course, it’s Bunryeong who is here. My body will be here too. It’s easy to send the Bunryeong. Besides, we’re holding a ancestral rite, so it’s easier to come.”

Miko Yasaka put on a bewildered expression.

Originally, it is a great religious disrespect for someone who is not related to a shrine to appear in the main hall, but the other party was a related person. No, before that, he was the original owner of this gentleman.

It was only natural that the atmosphere stiffened as he did not expect to be confronted with such a god out of nowhere. Not only Miko Yasaka, but everyone else in the shrine were confused and at a loss.

Among them, the only sane ones were me and Eden.

“Uncle Susanoo!!!!!”

“Oh, Kagura, you received it well. You seem to be doing well for what you just learned?”

“Then give me some money”

“Yes, yes, it is enough to prevent damage from the typhoon and tidal wave coming this time? Okay”

And when we heard that they would take care of typhoons with the feeling of giving pocket money, everyone except us was horrified.

Ah, unintentionally cosmic horror!!!!
