If there were no box, it would probably take a long time just to count.
Each of them prayed for a small lucky cat, and then Yushan and the other two walked towards the most special place in Sumiyoshi Shrine - Gosho-gozen. This is one of the few "sacred places" in Japan.
When I walked into Gosho-gozen, I took a closer look and found that Touma Sanae and Takanashi Rikka had indeed arrived here a long time ago.
It's just that the two of them huddled together, looking a little weird, and from a distance, I couldn't tell what they were doing.
However, based on the two people whispering to each other, Yushan Kazuto could guess that it was probably another middle school behavior.
Chapter 2528 Five Imperial Palaces
Without paying any attention to Touma Sanae and Takanashi Rikka, Hayama and the other two walked straight to the place of worship of Gosho-gozen.
Just by looking at the crowds gathered in front of the place of worship, you can tell how popular this place is.
The line at the Five Imperial Shrines is even longer than the line at the several major palaces of Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine.
It is also easy to tell that the majority of the group at Gosho-gozen are ordinary tourists and pilgrims from nearby areas, rather than people on the school trip to Toyonosaki.
Judging from the personnel composition, it can be seen that there must be something special about the Five Palaces to attract so many tourists and pilgrims.
Yushan and the other two also joined the queue. After all, they had already arrived at Gosho-gozen, so they definitely needed to pay their respects.
As for whether one believes in the effectiveness of Gosho Gozen in one’s heart, that is another matter.
Although the line is long, the pace of worship is actually quite fast.
The main reason was that there seemed to be a small tour group ahead, with more than a dozen people paying homage at the same time, which greatly improved the efficiency of the team's worship.
After paying homage to the Five Great Powers, you can go to the nearby stone pond to search for the "Five Great Powers".
According to legend, as long as you find small stones with the words "five", "big" and "power" written on them in the stone pool, then buy a sachet, put the three stones in the bag, and hang it next to the stone pool, you will be blessed with physical strength, financial resources, intellectual power, longevity and happiness.
It is unclear whether these stones will be recycled and reused by Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine.
After all, it is quite troublesome to search for stones of similar size every time and then write the words "five", "big" and "force" on them. How can it be as convenient and quick as recycling?
This kind of gameplay is actually also available in many tourist attractions in China, and it is even an upgraded version.
For example, at a stall that engraves words on stones or nameplates, the stall owner will ask you to first look for your surname among a plate of engraved stones or nameplates. After you find your surname, he will help you engrave the rest of your name.
Because it takes a lot of energy to find your own surname, when you carve the words, you usually feel that you have spent so much time and energy, and it would be a waste of time if you don’t carve the words.
Therefore, after finding stones and nameplates engraved with their own surnames, customers are often very happy to pay for the engraving.
However, in Japan, this approach does not work.
Although there are many major surnames in the country, the surnames of the vast majority of people are concentrated among the first few hundred commonly used surnames.
The stall owner only needs to carve these hundreds of common surnames on stones or nameplates, and he can basically meet the needs of more than 99 percent of customers.
But this is not the case in Japan. First of all, Japanese surnames are more diverse. It is said that there are as many as 300,000 surnames.
Secondly, the Japanese surname population is relatively dispersed, because many people did not actually have their own surnames until the Meiji era, so there is no such high concentration of surnames as in China.
Therefore, if you want to start a similar business in Japan, you may have to carve tens of thousands of surnames on the stone to meet the needs of most customers.
But how difficult is it to find your own surname among tens of thousands of surnames?
Therefore, the fixed combination of words such as "Five Great Powers" is more in line with Japan's needs.
……
After taking a few casual glances, Yushan Heren actually saw a familiar figure next to the stone pond - Nishimiya Naoko.
Before in Kyoto, Eriri told Hayama Kazuto that Nishimiya Shoko seemed to be in poor condition.
However, when Yushan Kazuto met Nishimiya Shoko, he found that the other party did not seem to be in the same situation as Eriri said, so he did not ask too many questions.
However, in the next two days, Yushan Heren hardly saw Nishimiya Naoko. Even when the whole school gathered, Nishimiya Naoko always hid behind the class team. Naturally, he was unaware of Nishimiya Naoko's situation.
Now seeing that Nishimiya Glass was looking for the small stone of the "Five Powers" and it seemed that she was in good condition, Yushan Kazuto felt a little relieved.
Not every stone in the stone pool has Chinese characters written on it, so it is actually a little difficult to choose.
Seeing that Nishimiya Glass was having a hard time choosing, Yushan Kazuto, Kato Megumi, and Fujinomiya Ningko briefly greeted them before walking over.
"Noseko, good morning." Walking to the side of Nishimiya Soseko, the other party had not yet noticed that Yushan Kazuto was coming over, and Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile and speak.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Glass was a little startled, but after comparing the voice in her ear with the voice and appearance that she remembered vividly, Nishimiya Glass raised her head, glanced at Yushan Kazuto, and nodded slightly.
Nishimiya Naoko was holding a stone in her hand, so it was not convenient for her to take out her notebook to write a dialogue with Yushan Kazuto. She could only use facial expressions and actions to express her meaning.
"I see you have been selecting stones. Is there any type of stone that you haven't found?" Looking at Nishimiya Glass, Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Glass couldn't help but blink slightly, her expression looking a little hesitant.
But after thinking about it, the other party opened his hand and revealed the stone in his hand.
There were actually more than ten stones in Nishimiya Naoko's hand, most of which had the characters "五" and "大" on them, and only two had the character "力" on them.
"Are you going to pray for your family and friends?" Looking at Nishimiya Glass, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly.
Road.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Glass lowered her head and nodded.
"If you want to find a lot of stones, it won't be easy to find them if you stand in this corner." Looking at the place where Nishimiya Naoko was standing, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
The other party was standing in the corner of the stone pool, and there was only a small area where he could search for stones.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Glass blinked slightly, shook her head, and indicated that it was okay.
Because it would take more time to find more stones, Nishimiya Glass felt it was embarrassing to occupy those areas that were easier to search, so she walked to a corner and searched alone.
However, he did not expect that he was seen by Yushan and others while hiding in the corner.
Looking at Nishimiya Naoko, although she didn't say anything, Yushan Kazuto roughly guessed why she was standing in the corner.
And judging from the other party's appearance, Nishimiya Glass should not plan to move. Yushan Kazuto could only take a deep breath and then said: "You should have collected most of the five characters and big characters, right?"
Chapter 2529: Isn't this found?
All in all, Nishimiya Glass needs to pray for five people: her mother, grandmother, sister, Senju Nanka, and Matsuno Naku, so she needs five sets of stones with the words "five", "big", and "powerful".
She has already found all the characters "五" and "大", and only three are missing for the character "力".
Because the stones with words on them in the pool were added artificially, their distribution is slightly uneven, which is actually normal.
As for the fact that Nishimiya Naoko seemed to have forgotten that she also needed to pray, it was normal for her.
"You're still missing a few words of "li", right? I'll help you find them." After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Naoko instinctively wanted to refuse, but Yushan Kazuto had already walked away, leaving no chance for Nishimiya Naoko to refuse.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto who walked to the side and started rummaging through stones, Nishimiya Glass couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes.
Honestly speaking, when it comes to searching for “five”, “big” and “power”, it’s more effective if you do it in person.
But Nishimiya Naoko thought about it and realized that she was praying for her family and friends, and it was not them who came to pray.
In this case, it doesn’t matter who goes looking for stones.
Yushan Heren's luck was pretty good. Although there were not many stones with the words "five", "big" and "power" in the stone pool, he quickly found a few stones with the word "power" written on them and returned to Nishimiya Naoko's side.
"Take a look and see if these are enough." Handing a few stones to Nishimiya Glass, Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Looking at the stone that Yushan Kazuto put into the palm of her hand, Nishimiya Naoko couldn't help but blink slightly.
Yushan and others found a total of five stones with the word "力" written on them. Although they knew that Nishimiya Naoko might not need so many, they still gave them all to her.
There were already several more stones in her hand than she needed. After thinking for a while, Nishimiya Glass counted out a group of stones with the words "five", "big" and "powerful" in their hands and handed them back to Yushan Kazuto.
"Hey, don't you need so much?" Looking at Nishimiya Naoko's actions, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
However, after seeing clearly that Nishimiya Naoko put the stone in his hand, Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "Well...thank you very much."
Hearing this, Nishimiya Glass couldn't help but shook her head. She felt that she was the one who should be thanked.
But after thinking about it, Nishimiya Glass placed the stones on the edge of the stone pool, took out a notebook and pen from her pocket, and quickly wrote, "I heard that the stones you find yourself will be more effective. You can put these stones back into the stone pool and find a few more."
"No need! Just these three will be enough." After looking at Nishimiya Glass, Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Yushan Kazuto didn't think that Nishimiya Shoko's words were directed at his behavior of helping her find stones. After all, with Nishimiya Shoko's personal character, she would often only look for problems in herself.
Moreover, Nishimiya Naoko is looking for stones to pray for her relatives and friends. In this regard, there is actually no difference between Yushan Heren helping her look for them and her looking for them by herself.
Listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, Nishimiya Glass couldn't help but blink and nodded.
"You should have collected everything, right?" Seeing Nishimiya Naoko looking a little embarrassed, Yushan Kazuto spoke.
Hearing this, Nishimiya Naoko nodded. Now she not only collected all five sets, but also had one extra set.
Suddenly, Nishimiya Shoko realized that she seemed to have neglected herself.
If I count myself, the six groups of stones labeled "five", "big" and "powerful" in my hand are just right.
"Then let's go buy some sachets together." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
After collecting the stones, one must also purchase sachets and hang them on the edge of the stone pool to gain blessings of physical strength, financial resources, intellectual power, longevity and fortune.
Listening to what Hayama Kazuto said, Nishimiya Shoko nodded and followed behind Hayama Kazuto.
After purchasing the sachets, Yushan Kazuto was once again shocked by the consumption level of Sumiyoshi Taisha.
Such a small cloth bag, which is barely enough to fit three small stones, is sold for 500 yen.
However, when he saw Nishimiya Naoko bought six sachets and paid a total of 3,000 yen, Yushan Kazuto felt a little more balanced.
When he walked to the stone pool and hung up the sachet, Yushan Heren felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes.
When I turned around, I saw Tsuchiya Mai standing beside me.
"Umi-chan, when did you come here?" Looking at Umi-chan, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"It's been a long time since Komekko came here." Upon hearing this, Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
Not long after Yushan Kazuto arrived, Doma Mai also arrived, but Yushan Kazuto was focused on helping Nishimiya Naoko find stones and did not notice Doma Mai's arrival.
Therefore, the scene where Hayama Kazuto and Nishimiya Shoko exchanged stones was seen clearly by Doma Umi.
"Is that so? Have you found the three kinds of stones?" Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but feel the awkwardness in the meaning and asked.
Listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, Tsuchima Mei couldn't help but pout. It was because she didn't find everything that she pulled the corner of Yushan Kazuto's clothes.
"Kome-Kome has been searching for a long time but hasn't found the five words. Senior Kazuto, can you help Kome-Kome find it?" Tsuchima Mai whispered.
"Huh? But I heard that the stones found by other people might not be very effective." Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, Touma's mouth pouted immediately. It was obvious that Yushan and others were helping Nishimiya Naoko find stones.
, but when it comes to me, it just becomes an excuse!
"No, it's okay. Komari doesn't mind. Senior Heren, please help Komari find it!" said Domama.
Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Tsuchima, his eyes seemed to be asking: [Are you sure? ]
But Tsuchima Mai was still staring at Yushan Kazuto, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Okay then, come with me." Seeing this, Yushan Heren could only shrug and say.
In the corner where Nishimiya Glass was looking for stones before, there seemed to be a lot of "五" and "大" characters, except for the relatively few "力" characters.
After looking at Yushan Kazuto, Doma Mai decided to follow.
As soon as he reached the corner, Yushan Heren caught a glimpse of a stone with the word "five" written on it.
"How long have you been looking for the stone pool?" Turning around and looking at Tsuchima, Yushan Heren did not first tell her that he had seen the stone, but asked.
"About five or six minutes." After thinking for a while, Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
"Is it that hard to find?" Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren shrugged and reached out to take out the stone.
“Isn’t this what you found?”
Chapter 2530: Sincerity is the key to success
Looking at the stone in Yushan Kazuto's hand, Domama suddenly remembered what Yushan Kazuto had said before.
"Senior Kazuto, is what you said before true?" After looking at Kazuto Yushan, Tsuchima Mai suddenly became hesitant.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly: "What did I say before?"
