Usually when Shang Zegong goes shopping with one or two girls, it doesn't matter. After all, it's not uncommon for couples to go shopping on the street, and they don't attract much attention.

It’s just that by his side now, Hasegawa Yuuka, Asaki Miko, Yumeli Suzune, Dorothy, Iwanaga Kotoko, Kamogoshita Mikasa, Ouna Kinoko, Kaede, Yoshida Saki, Murasaki Izuku, Asana Chimi and others

Ejima Mineko, no more, no less, a total of twelve girls went out shopping with him.

The girls were dressed in their own unique ways, like a beautiful street scene. People on the whole street couldn't help but cast their eyes on them. And Shang Zegong was the only male among this group of Yingying Yanyan, which made him also

Being watched with envy and jealousy by many people.

Kamizawa Miya didn't want to be noticed, so he simply put on sunglasses and walked at the end of the crowd, as if he was a bodyguard for rich ladies on their outing, which attracted less attention.

The distance from Kujo Residence to the subway station is not long, and a simple walk only takes about fifteen minutes. In this street, the girls stopped and walked, and it actually took them an hour to reach the subway station.

mouth.

Several people filled half of the carriage. Kamizawa looked around. Every girl had snacks in her hands. Some had dumplings in their hands, some had takoyaki in their hands, some had specialty snacks in their hands, and some had specialty snacks in their hands.

Holding the sandwich, even Zi Chuiyi had an extra pack of marshmallows in his hand.

Originally, Uesawa Palace thought that he might become a tool to help carry bags, but he didn't expect that after shopping around the store, the girls bought nothing except food.

Kyoto's subway is very lax, as long as you don't eat spicy food on the subway.

"What a nostalgic taste." Zi Chuiyi said to himself while eating local marshmallows, "It's exactly the same as when I was a child."

"President Shibuki, are you from Kyoto?" Uesawa Palace asked in surprise when he heard what she said.

Kamizawa Miya already knows a lot about the girls around him, except for Zi Chuiyi.

Zi Chuiyi seems to have been floating around him, keeping a distance from him. Now Kamizawa Palace still doesn't know her identity and why she became friends with Kujo Fenghua.

"Yes, I used to live in Kyoto." Shibuki seemed unwilling to talk about this. He reached out and handed the marshmallow to Uesawa Palace, and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat it? This is our lunch.

, If you don’t eat now, you will be hungry when you go hiking.”

"Yes, I checked the information! It will take several hours to reach the highest peak of the shrine. We should take this opportunity to replenish our strength!"

Youxia was holding a pack of wagashi, a local specialty, in her hand. She was talking vaguely, her cheeks bulging like a cute hamster, and she stuffed a piece of snack into Uesawa Palace's mouth.

, "It's delicious, you should eat it too!"

"Why are you all starting to eat..." Shang Zegong said helplessly, took the food from the hands of the two of them, and started eating too.

The girls shared the snacks they bought with each other on the train. By the time they took the subway and arrived at Inari Station in Fushimi Ward, everyone was already half full.

After throwing away the garbage, everyone walked out of the subway. As soon as they exited the station, they saw a fox statue standing at the station entrance. Many people opened it and took pictures here.

In Kyoto, you can see various stone statues of foxes. This is because Japan has regarded foxes as the messengers of the god Inari since the Middle Ages. Almost all Inari shrines across the country use foxes as the messengers of the god. The classic

The red and white fox mask is the symbol of the shrine’s messenger.

After exiting the subway station, you arrived at Inari Taisha Shrine within a few steps.

At the entrance of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine stands the large torii gate donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1589. Behind it is the main hall of the shrine and other buildings.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Japan was built in the 8th century and is mainly dedicated to enshrining the Inari gods headed by Uga no Tamaki.

Inari God is the god of agriculture and commerce. Pilgrims come to worship to pray for a good harvest and safe transportation. They hope that the god will bless them with abundant crops and prosperous business.

It is one of the most popular shrines in the Kyoto area. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto is the headquarter of all Inari shrines across the country, and the Inari Mountain where it is located is also the object of worship for 30,000 branches across the country.

The white fox monster that Kotoko knew was also located in the Inari Shrine. The local residents believed that the reason why the fox monster saved the world was because of its status as the messenger of Inari God.

It is precisely because of this that after the disaster, the local residents built a temple for him and worshiped him.

The white fox monster took advantage of the east wind. If a monster like a white snake or an evil spirit saved them, not to mention building a temple, they might even invite an exorcist to subdue the monster.

As one of the largest shrines in Kyoto, incense is flourishing here. Tourists from all over the world come here to visit and make wishes or fulfill their wishes.

Mengli picked up the camera and excitedly took photos of Inari Taisha Shrine.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go worship the gods!" Surrounded by others, Uesawa and others arrived in front of the shrine.

They all came here, of course they wanted to worship the gods.

It was approaching noon, and there was a lot of traffic here. It was not convenient for the group of people in Shangze Palace to move together, so after discussion, they decided to separate into several small groups after visiting the shrine and pray in different ways.

In addition to the same way of worshiping at the main hall and praying for the blessings of the gods, there are also different ways of praying at the shrine, namely Ema and Omori.

The corners of the shrine are covered with wooden boards with beautiful paintings, which are specially used for praying and are called ema.

It is said that a long time ago, horses were the means of transportation for the gods, so there was a habit of dedicating horses to the gods. Later, they were replaced by wooden carvings and fake horses made of paper. Over time, they gradually evolved into offering wooden boards with horses painted on them.

Today, various shrines have further produced ema with unique patterns according to the gods they worship. Most ema are trapezoidal in shape, but many shrines will also make changes to suit their own shrines.

The ema at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto is modeled after the shrine's most famous Senbon Torii gate. There is also a fox-shaped ema. The fox-faced ema is a specialty here.

Girls write on the ema and then hang it in the corner of the shrine, letting the wind blow on the ema, hoping to convey their wishes to the gods.

After paying homage to the Inari God in the main hall, Ouna Kinoko and the others chose to use Ema to pray, while Asana Chimi and the others went to buy a guard.

The talisman is usually an exquisite little bag containing charms blessed by the gods of the shrine, and sometimes it may also be the name of the god.

The guard is sealed with a colorful tape. If you untie the tape without authorization and open the guard, the power of the gods will escape from it, and the guard will lose its effectiveness. Opening the guard to spy is also regarded as an act of not trusting the gods.

.

The guardian is equivalent to a protective spell that you carry with you. When leaving the shrine, most people will buy the guardian here to buy peace of mind.
