Chapter 1613 – [Echo]

Many of the people who gathered to buy omikuji were people who came to Yasaka Shrine to at least see the face of Eden. Since it was the weekend, there were quite a few people there.

Meanwhile, there was an uproar when Mr. Susanoo announced that he was selling omikuji. The Japanese government also accepted those people on a first-come, first-served basis, but placed several conditions.

There must be no disqualifications as a result of the background check, you must submit to a physical examination, you must have 100,000 yen to purchase omikuji in cash, etc. It’s basic, but since there were so many people, it was hard to tell them apart.

I’m having a hard time because something suddenly came up. Later, I will send good ingredients from the Garden of Eden to the Japanese government’s security team and shrine officials.

Anyway, that’s why we gathered those 200 people. Surprisingly, there were not only Japanese but also Koreans, who probably lived around here or in Japan and came to see Eden.

I don’t know if it’s because the number of extreme rightists has decreased, so people can see things without discrimination, or if it’s because Eden is Korean, and they feel like they’ll be screwed if it comes out later that they discriminated against Koreans… Well, I guess it’s the latter.

“Because humans do not change easily. Even if the extreme right-wingers’ pot is broken right now, there is no way that the perception deeply embedded in society can be easily changed. They just don’t come out openly.”

“That’s right.”

People don’t change easily unless they experience something truly shocking. Of course, there was a fairly big incident called terrorism by extreme right-wingers, but even so, the values ​​of all Japanese people could not have changed overnight.

In fact, there are probably extreme right-wingers who live in hiding in society, pretending to be something they are not. You can’t catch or care about each one of those people, so in the end you have to leave them alone.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can come out and be active. They will continue to live in the shadows for the rest of their lives and will never be able to come out to the surface of society. In some ways, it is a blessing to become self-employed.

While talking about various things, Mr. Susanoo and I took a step back and watched Eden sell omikuji. Honestly, if we were there, the atmosphere would become stiff.

Thanks to this, the omikuji selling place became like Eden’s fan signing event. No, it’s not the same since you get a real omikuji piece of paper and an autograph, so it’s a real autograph event.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Miko Wakamo.”

“Welcome. From the looks of it, you’re the one who’s been waiting since yesterday, right? I’m glad you were able to join the 200 people.”

“Yes, I think it was a good thing I came even though it was the weekend. I got to meet the shaman like this…”

“Would you like to take an omikuji first? Oh, and after that, if you want, I’ll sign a separate piece of paper for you.”

“Please!!!!”

About ten people were selected, but no one has chosen fortunes higher than Pyeong and Sogil yet. Nevertheless, they were happy that they were able to meet Eden up close, shake his hand, get his autograph, and spend the next year without any problems.

It’s a good thing that there are no failures. To be honest, if I paid 100,000 yen to use the gacha and got a bad or bad result, I would feel terrible. Of course, it is said that you can avoid bad luck by tying something like that to a tree, but it is still better to hit it with a regular hit if possible.

So are you watching, gacha game companies? Garden of Eden is also a gacha game, but you don’t have to pay that much, right?

“Huh?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“When I focus on something, I see something connected to Omikuji? Is it because it’s related to the ordeal in some way?”

The life curve that has grown one step further seems to be able to see not only the person’s life, but also the people and objects that will affect that life. Of course, this was really hard, and my head hurt so bad, but it felt a little better when I looked at the Omikuji instead of the person.

What is it? When you climb a ladder, it feels like you climb up from below and reach the station. It seems similar to solving a problem after looking at the answer sheet and knowing the correct answer.

“It wouldn’t be a joke to develop that.”

“But you have to be smart to use it.”

“What if I’m going to eat it all with my senses later?”

While I was talking with Susanoo, the first winner came out. It’s not yet Dae-gil, but the winner of the road has emerged.

Eden applauded and sincerely congratulated him. Sogil is effective to some extent, but it is only minor, and it will be serious from the Gil level, but since such a winner has emerged, I am looking forward to this one as well.

“Oh, there’s a road!!!! There’s a road!!!!”

“Wow!! Congratulations. Good things will happen in the future.”

“Is that so? I wonder what will happen…”

At that time, the winning man’s cell phone rang. He probably received a text message, but he wondered what had happened. He quickly checked the text message and had a bright expression on his face.

“I got a call from the company I interviewed for this time saying I was accepted!!! This is probably thanks to Omikuji, right? Thank you so much, Wakamo Shrine Maiden!!!!”

“Please express your gratitude to Susanoo, not me. You can just pay a visit to the shrine on your way back.”

“Yes, I understand. Thank you, thank you so much!!!!”

Sometimes it’s better not to work for a company, but if it were a company like that, you would have received a text message a long time ago saying you were rejected. But the fact that I was accepted means that it’s a good company… So that’s pretty good.

I asked Mr. Susanoo about the standards for omikuji fortune-telling. About how effective it depends on the winning fortune.

“Once you get a good review, it’s not that you’re lucky, but that you’ve avoided the worst. A car accident could end with serious injuries or death.”

“Then pyeong is not pyeong.”

“But how can you not die? Anyway, Sogil is the kind of person who doesn’t suffer from bad luck, so if a car accident happens, you’ll get away with minor injuries right under your nose.”

“What about Gil and Dae-gil?”

“Neither of them have car accidents in the first place. However, to the extent that roads are important events in life, Dae-gil saves people’s lives.”

“Whether it’s a long road or a large road, you’re sure to win the lottery.”

“If you want to waste your luck on that, it’s your choice.”

The causality that Mr. Susanoo gives to Omikuji is influential enough for the person involved to feel its effects, but it is expendable. If you go around acting like a fool and wasting your life just because you have a great fortune, you will soon run out of causality and die.

If you get lucky, you won’t use up all your causality to the extent of winning the lottery, but you will still use up a lot of it. Still, if there is the first prize, most problems will be solved.

Eventually, all 200 Omikuji were sold. It took quite some time, but I was able to finish it just before 2pm.

There are two people who won the grand prize. Unlike the person who won on the road earlier, the effect did not appear immediately, but it was like the calm before the storm. Because it takes time for something big to happen. And if you use up your causality and use up all your luck on something you didn’t want, that’s a problem.

“Ah!!! It was fun!!!! Should we do this again next year?”

“This time, I did it because it was fun, but if I want to do it again next year, I’ll have to gather a lot of faith. Manipulating causality, even for a few hundred people, doesn’t require a lot of faith.”

“Then I guess I should visit Japan often.”

“Are you planning to come again sometime this year?”

“I didn’t really enjoy it this time anyway.”

“Of course.”

Due to the terrorist incident, it is difficult to move around easily. They say that I and Mr. Susanoo will ensure safety, but if we don’t do anything, the Japanese government will be criticized.

However, tourism plans must be postponed until later. Well, it might come at the end of this year at the latest.

“And next is the time for the long-awaited meal!!! In fact, this is the last meal I will eat in Japan!!!!”

“After all, it’s tuna, right?”

“Full course tuna dish let’s go!!!”

And in the afternoon, I decided to dismantle and eat the bluefin tuna I had won at the auction house. Since it is a living organism, there is no need to defrost it, so just disassemble it and start cooking.

Tuna has a lot to eat because of its size. Moreover, even in Korea, people are accustomed to eating it in kimchi stew, so there were plenty of dishes to make.

Eden especially liked making Maguro Don by disassembling the sesame seeds, cutting them into individual parts, and placing them on top of rice. Whether it’s Korean or Japanese, it’s an expensive bowl of rice bowl that costs tens of thousands of won… Honestly, it tastes amazing.

“Wow, it’s fish, but the marbling looks like wagyu. It’s so greasy.”

“That’s why tuna is a delicious fish.”

“Anyway, I’ll enjoy it!!!!”

There are many different dishes you can make with just one tuna, so we cooked many different dishes.

First, grill and steam the head separately and eat it, and eat the flesh part as a maguro-don as mentioned before, or grill it once and eat it as a tataki. Then, boil the bones to make soup and add plenty of tuna meat to make tuna kimchi stew.

Thanks to this, the side dishes were sumptuous. I thought it might have a fishy smell because it was made only with tuna, but it was delicious without any such thing, perhaps because the tuna was of such high quality.

“The snacks are good, so the alcohol goes well.”

“That was a joke, right?”

“Shut up, you bastard. Pour me a drink.”

“Oh, Uncle Susanoo. Can I follow you?”

“Then I will be beaten to death by your father. No, it is bitter. In the past, he was cute because he was much weaker than me, but now he has grown up.”

“I blame the absolute fate of fate.”

In fact, God’s growth limit was no different from what was set. Rather, it is rare that Susanoo, the main character of a mythology, went on various adventures after Gilhyeon met that bastard and evolved into the Creation God class.

As God was born strong, there are limits to his growth. Although a long time has passed, I know that I, who was once much weaker than Susanoo-san, is now strong enough to beat Susanoo-san to pieces.

In the short term, transcendent species are good, but in the long term, other races are much better.

Anyway, that’s how we end our meal. I felt like my mouth would be greasy because I ate a lot of oily tuna, but I ate the spicy tuna kimchi stew to satisfy my appetite, and it was better than I thought. Eden also ate a piece of tuna and looked satisfied, as if he was satisfied.

“Ah!!!! I enjoyed it!!!!”

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“But it’s still a shame that I couldn’t go sightseeing. Next time I come, I’ll have to check out some good restaurants!!!!”

“Is there anything you want to eat?”

“Hmm… Japanese ramen? I’m especially craving the rich and rich Jiro ramen!!!!”

No, isn’t that a type of ramen that comes with lots of toppings like bean sprouts and chashu? In some ways, it seems to fit well with Eden.

I decided to finish my schedule in Japan and return home. Eden has to go to college starting tomorrow and I also have to run the store. Perhaps the tuna that was auctioned will arrive around that time? When I go, I’ll have to defrost it and make Lulu rice.

When we said we were going back, the Japanese Prime Minister hurriedly came to see us off. Although it is not his responsibility, he cannot help but be scared because a terrorist incident occurred.

“I really have no shame regarding this incident. However, we will also conduct strict inspections in the future…”

“It’s okay. We told them not to do it, but it happened. Moreover, no one was hurt, so there’s no problem.”

“I appreciate it if you say so, but public opinion seems to be concerned about the shaman’s safety.”

“Then please tell me that you will come again next year for tourism purposes, not for work. Then, the public opinion will subside a bit.”

“Ah!!! If you say so, we would be grateful. Thank you so much, Wakamo Shrine Maiden!!!!”

So, I am returning home after my trip to Japan. The flight back itself wasn’t a big problem, but since something had happened in Japan, it was noisy after returning home. Especially because of the reporters gathered at the airport.

As we went out to the terminal, numerous reporters bombarded us with questions. They live off of people’s attention, so asking questions isn’t really a problem, but I still think it’s a bit like that.

“Miss Eden!!! What do you think about this extreme right-wing terrorist incident?!”

“Are you going to change your plans to visit Japan next year?”

“I would like to ask if you are thinking of selling Omikuji in Korea too!!!!”

“What do you think about the Japanese extreme right wing that caused the incident!!!”

There really is a lot to talk about. I didn’t want to answer anything, and perhaps Eden felt the same way, so I just ignored the reporters and moved on. Well, don’t we have an obligation to answer all their questions?

Our families welcomed us back home after shaking off the reporters.

“Oh, it’s here!!!!”

“Has the tuna arrived? I bought it early this morning, so I think it will arrive by today.”

“It came around 3 or 4 p.M. And Korma is currently working separately.”

[It’s a tuna party!!!!]

“Wow!!! It’s delicious!!!!”

Eden already ate a lot of tuna for a late lunch, but he still exclaimed that he didn’t want to eat tuna again for dinner.

I bought a dozen tuna, so even my family will eat it for a few days. Well, it’s only a matter of a few days to know how much food we eat at home, but whatever.

“I heard the news from Japan. They said there was a terrorist attack. Are you okay?”

“I’m not hurt, but my schedule was a bit messed up. I was originally going to go sightseeing and come back today.”

“You can go next time. I don’t have any plans to travel to any dimension for the time being anyway, so wouldn’t it be okay to go on a trip abroad? Come to think of it, I’ve secretly tried my luck in the United States as well.”

“Why America?”

“My hometown is the United States, so even if I was naturalized, the logic is that half of Eden is an American citizen.”

“You’re being unreasonable. I guess you want to do it even if you’re being unreasonable.”

Because the effects that come from one visit to Eden are no joke. Moreover, in the United States, hurricane damage is no joke and there are many people who are sick. If Eden goes, both of those issues can be dealt with to some extent and public opinion can be gathered.

This is probably true not only in the United States but also in other countries. In fact, now that he has come out, he will come out more openly than before.

Well, this is something that was taken into consideration. So, you have to take it and accept it. I think it would be a good idea to go on a trip or tour abroad during the winter vacation later.

We decide to just think about it for now, make plans later, and have dinner as a family. And the weekend passed quickly and weekdays came again.

Just like before, I spent my nights tearing up the things Eden criticized and running the store during the day. Meanwhile, I also heard some news about the people who chose Mr. Susanoo’s omikuji.

One of the two people who won the grand prize bought a lottery ticket right away and won first and second prizes at the same time, and the other person said that his mother was hospitalized with cancer and needed surgery, but the surgery went well, and the recovery was smooth, so he was able to be discharged soon. Do it.

It’s up to you how you use it, but I’m glad that at least the latter seems to have been used well. Honestly, saving people’s lives is more important than making money.

“Dad, I heard the person who shot me last time was sentenced to death?”

“I knew so.”

Japan has a death penalty system, so he was punished right away. In fact, it may be easy to sentence a person to death, but seeing as the lawyer has already given up and only wants a reduced sentence due to mental issues, the treatment was expected.

Simple attempted murder is a serious punishment, but if you are accused of assassinating an important person, you will be punished. The death penalty was sentenced to the level of roasting beans in the heat of lightning. Chaam went well.

Anyway, I wondered if I could return to my quiet daily life, but… The truth gauge seemed to be full, and strange people started coming to visit me again.

As I was going to work like usual, there was someone waiting in front of the store. As usual, I thought he was a reporter or just a spectator, but when he saw me, he ran towards me with a happy expression and shouted.

“Oh my, my second cousin is here!!!”

… Ah, are we blood relatives now?
