43 – How to Enjoy the Festival
“A festival?”
“Yes. Since you said you like to play, don’t festivals suit you?”
Jinseong smiled and asked.
“…I don’t hate it. But seriously…?”
RiSe glanced at Jinsung.
She seemed to think that it would be a nuisance to Jinseong.
The word ‘festival’ gave off a grandiose feeling, so it was burdensome.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If I’m good and you’re good too, isn’t there anything better than that?”
Jinseong said that and glanced at the slime.
The slime created something like a fence by pulling out thorns from inside its body and inserting them densely around the sphere of light, and it patrolled the outside as if it were a security guard.
And the new Tani was giggling as she climbed on top of the slime, wondering what fun it was, and even then she put her hand inside her throat, pulled out her tongue, and slapped the slime on the head.
Every time the slime hit her head, it blinked a bright light in the core as if it was angry, but the new tani didn’t care and continued to whip her tongue and hit the slime’s head. .
Burr!
“Evil!”
In the end, the angry slime raised her divine power and threw the new Tani away.
‘Now I’m used to using my divine power well.’
It was a bizarre sight, and it was a scene that had become a daily routine in a shrine that had already been stained with madness.
‘Seeing how skillful he is using it, there must be plenty of capacity.’
Jinseong looked at slime and Rise alternately.
The core of the slime pulsated and pulsated as if it were squeezing something, drawing out divine power, and the divine power drawn out in that way swam through the slime’s body several times before coming out and connecting to Rise.
Such a connected pass poured divine power into Risei’s body, and as a result, Rise’s body was gradually becoming optimized to match the divine power of Mukurikokurin Inugami.
It was possible because the growth had not yet been completed.
‘Seeing that there are no growing pains, there would be no problem even if the output is stronger, and the limit will be high as long as the mind goes crazy, so if it is raised well, it will be really useful.’
Besides, there is no risk of betrayal.
From noble mtl dot com
The divine power used by Rise comes from the slime he created, and the slime was completely under the control of Jinseong. In addition, there was a shaman who was better than Jinseong, so even if control was taken away, he could self-destruct at any time, so if he wanted to, he could turn Rise into an incompetent person.
In addition, Rise’s father is crazy and follows Jinseong, and because of the Sparganum planted in his body, even his body belongs to Jinseong. If Kenji tries to betray his true nature, the sparganum planted in his body will immediately start cutting off the blood vessels in his brain.
Even if you try to get rid of Sparganum through brain surgery or superpowers, you will face retaliation unless you remove Sparganum at the same time as all of your ‘colleagues’, who have already become a significant number.
‘All of them are water killer demons or hungry ghosts, so I won’t just watch someone try to escape.’
Kenji, and all of his colleagues, are caught in a noose set by them. ＜Br＞ Unless all of them have an altruistic heart, they will not get out easily.
‘Now that we’ve entered a stable zone, it would be good to reach out to another gentleman.’
Jinseong thought so and told Rise.
“Happiness comes from leisure. Enjoy and play at the festival, think about your hobbies, and acquire by-products to grow a gentleman and increase your spiritual power. Wouldn’t it be nice?”
“Yes? Busan…Water?”
By-product.
At that word, the color on RiSe’s face faded slightly.
It was because he remembered what he had been through.
“Think of Mukurikokuri no Inugami, and now. Wouldn’t my going rather be a liberation for them and a blessing to them?”
The method was rough, but the results were good.
So what you do is good.
It was an absurd sophistry.
“…All right.”
But Rise accepted it as it was.
It was because he thought that it was not important what he was thinking and that he had to follow what he was doing as he had sworn to serve Jinseong.
To help Jinseong with all his might.
I thought that was my duty.
“To do that, you need to know about festivals. Let’s see. Are there any upcoming festivals?”
However, he had no choice but to realize his own shortcomings in the ensuing question of Jinseong.
“Well, I don’t know…”
Rise knew nothing about the festival.
Since she was just a gentleman’s daughter and destined to be polite and helpful if she accepted Daryl’s son-in-law, she was not taught anything important. And among those uneducated were things about festivals, which were always important events for gentlemen to attend.
“It’s okay. Everything has its place. Wouldn’t it be right to give a sniper a sniper rifle and a machine gunner a machine gun?”
However, Jinseong was not disappointed with Rise.
Wouldn’t it be better to ask someone you know?
Jinseong took Rise and went to Kenji to ask about the festival.
“Yes? A festival? Of course! I know it!”
Kenji blinked his eyes and answered the question.
“But this Morita guy should know better than I do! I’m only involved in the festival that’s happening around here, but this guy is the president of a famous security company, so he dispatches staff whenever a festival happens!”
He pointed his finger at Morita, who woke up once and passed out again from mental shock.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it above, but this guy is a supporter of the Hyungyeon-ryu. In addition to being a famous bodyguard company, he has a lot of warriors of the Hyungyeon-ryu as bodyguards through his position as a Shinhyeon-ryu supporter, so it’s popular! So wake him up and hear what you want to hear. You can do it! hahahaha!”
Hearing that, Jinseong grabbed the air and dragged Morita to himself, then put his hand on his head and recited a small saying.
“Oops!”
Morita then trembled as if she had been struck by an electric shock.
“Who, who are you?”
Jinseong said while plucking Morita’s hair, which rolled her eyes.
“Now you will find out.”
Some of the hair in Jinseong’s hand turns into black ash, and some are wriggling and thin.Lan became a caterpillar.
* * *
“Ask anything you want! We’ll answer everything!”
It didn’t take long for Morita to fall flat at Jinseong’s feet.
Whether it was because she was engaged in a job with strict hierarchical order, Morita did not hesitate to treat Jinseong as her superior as soon as Morita finished judging her situation, and realized that she was a being who could give her a pleasure she would never have again. The moment she realized it, she volunteered to become a loyal dog.
Jin-seong looked at the appearance with satisfaction.
“Yes. Very nice. So, I ask you, do you know about the upcoming festival in this area?”
“Yes! Don’t you know! There’s a festival coming soon in Izumi City near you!”
“Very good! Okay, let me explain.”
However, Morita, who was full of enthusiasm as if she would answer anything, hesitated to speak, and she glanced at Jinseong and Rise.
Morita carefully asked Jinseong.
“By the way… The next priest? Are you planning to go with that shrine maiden?”
“It is true.”
Morita pondered for a moment at those words.
She then looked at Rise, who at first glance looked like a virgin, and looked at her innocent face, as if she wasn’t even immune to men, let alone dating men.
She said as if she had made up her mind.
“…I will recommend another festival.”
“How?”
“That’s… The festival held there wouldn’t be suitable for the two of you.”
Morita sighed and spoke in a small voice that only Jinseong could hear.
“The name of the festival held there is the Hundoshi Man Festival…”
“A loon city man?”
“That’s right. That… A lot of men wearing loon skirts got tangled up…”
Jinsung nodded his head at those words.
“Try to recommend something else.”
I wouldn’t know if there was no alternative, but I didn’t want to go to such a place even though there was an alternative.
“Hmm… Other than that, the fastest thing is. Oh, that’s right! There is a festival to welcome the sea god in Minamisatsuma City! It’s a very big festival that attracts tourists from abroad!”
“That’s fine too. What’s the time?”
“Exactly 30 days later!”
“After 30 days?”
Jinsung slightly frowned.
“Is there anything that opens faster?”
“First of all, there is nothing I know except for the Loon City Man Festival.
“Hmm.”
It was something that could have happened.
The bondi festival was a timed event.
It is done after the grain harvest is over, or to pray for a good catch before starting fishing, or to pray for a good harvest before starting farming.
As a result, festivals were often held at the same time.
“Then, what about other areas besides this one?”
“First of all, there is a matchmaking festival in Izumo City in Shimane Prefecture! It is a famous festival where many Onmyoji and Shinto priests gather to connect men and women and bless them! It even comes out on a local TV station!”
“Onmyoji, a priest?”
Jinseong shook his head.
“Tell me another place.”
“Uh… Then, to Tottori Prefecture.How about a standing tofu festival? It is a festival dedicated to Inari-nim, and various tofu dishes are popular with gourmets. In recent years, tofu has been attracting attention as a healthy food, and tourists come from all over Japan.”
“Tofu Festival. Inari.”
Jinseong smiled at the few words that came into his ears.
“That would be good.”
