Chapter 544: After the Ritual Festival

The whole process lasted for three to four minutes, and the ritual part in the shrine was declared over, and entered the stage of mikoshi parade.

So the next moment, the staff who had been watching for a long time walked quickly to the gods placed next to the stage, squatted down to hold the pole, and Qin Heqing, who had prepared long ago, placed the temporary altar on the stage. The god's nunnery was carried down, walked to the side of the god, put the god's nunnery into the palace set up above the sedan platform in the middle of the god, closed the palace door, turned around and backed away.

"God is seated in the palace!" Qin Heqing stood beside the god and shouted loudly towards the front.

"Get up!"

"Hi!"

Then, all the staff worked together to lift God up.

"The gods are on patrol!"

Then, all the staff stepped forward, carried the mikoshi out of the shrine, and started parading through the streets...

Of course, it is not really necessary to go to every street. After all, although Xinzuo City is not big, there are 20 to 30 streets, large and small, with a total length of tens of kilometers. If you really want to take care of them all, you can't finish walking in one day.

So you need to choose the street according to the actual situation——

For example, the front of the shrine and the main road leading to the shrine are essential, and it is necessary for the mikoshi to walk around the streets. Then there is the street leading to the shopping street and the shops of various support groups.

After all, they have done their best, so it's impossible not to take care of them.

Therefore, although the number of streets has decreased, the distance has not decreased too much, so if you walk down in a circle, it is estimated that it will not end until around three o'clock in the afternoon, which is not an easy task.

But it's okay, whoever called Qin Heqing eats this bowl of rice, so even if he doesn't want to, he has to follow...

And of course, Kato Megumi.

As the selected shrine maiden, she cannot escape the task of parading the streets with the mikoshi, so it is a blessing and a curse, and I don't know whether it is good or bad for her to participate in this festival as a pure shrine maiden.

...

After several hours of this, at around 3:40 in the afternoon, the entire street parade ended, and at the same time the ritual ceremony officially ended here.

All the staff went home, and only Qin Heqing, Kato Megumi, and the working maiden Takamori Rumina remained in the entire shrine.

Fortunately, the staff of the table helped to dismantle it before leaving, and the shrine was also separated and helped to move it to the place where they usually stay, so there is no follow-up finishing work to be busy, and there is nothing to do after a simple tidying up. We all sat down by the sales house.

"Is this the end?" Takamori Rumina looked at the shrine that suddenly stopped and said, a little uncomfortable, "There is no festival?"

"No. My house is not a large shrine, and the location is far away from the commercial street. In addition, there are no holidays before and after. Even if the festival is barely held, it is not worth the loss for the merchants who come to participate. , so instead of wasting that effort, it's better to just end here." Qin Heqing explained with a smile.

"Then you made such a big battle in the morning, I thought it would be more lively at night." Takamori Rumina said regretfully.

"After all, it's a regular festival. Even if it's just a show, it can't be too shabby." After a pause, Qin Heqing looked at Kato Kei, who had changed back to the normal clothes he wore when he came here, and said, "You're exhausted."

"A little bit. It feels like the legs don't belong to me anymore." Kato Megumi said wearily as he tapped his calf lightly.

"Then it seems that your physical strength still needs to be practiced. Come on, let me rub it for you." Qin Heqing moved the stool to Kato Hui's side and sat down, teased with a smile, and reached out to grab Kato Hui's calf.

"No need, I myself..."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Qin Heqing said involuntarily. Then he grabbed Kato Megumi's calf, put it on his own leg, and gently rubbed it with his hands.

"Hey, can you two pay a little attention? You know, there is a single person next to you. If you force-feed the dog food without any scruples, be careful that you will cause resentment." Rumina Gao Sen was speechless when she saw this Looking at the two of them, Qu said.

"Then feel free to resent me. Anyway, I'm a priest, and I'm blessed by the gods. This is what I'm most afraid of." Qin Heqing said proudly.

"...Okay, then you can play by yourself, I don't want to be abused here anymore, I'm going to change my clothes." After that, Rumina Takamori got up, found her clothes and took them to the side hall to change.

"Heqing-jun, don't do this next time, I feel a little shy." Kato Megumi said to Qin Heqing who was rubbing her legs with slightly rosy cheeks.

"Then I'll pay attention next time." Hearing this, Qin Heqing turned his head and smiled at Megumi Kato, responding with a clear lack of sincerity in his words.

Immediately, Kato Megumin was speechless, so he could only accept Qin Heqing's dominance and enjoy it silently.

"I'm leaving." Rumina Takamori said after changing her clothes.

"Well, be careful on the road." Qin Heqing replied.

After that, Qin and Qing stayed at the shrine for a while, got up and said, "Let's go too."

"Um."

Following the two of them, they left the shrine, went to Qin Heqing's house, and stayed there for a while—mainly to change the priest's clothes on their bodies, and put away the priestess ceremony clothes and accessories lent to Megumi Kato to wear, and then I left home again and took the subway back to Tokyo. After sending Megumi Kato home, Qin Heqing turned to the Shinkansen train station and took the latest Shinkansen to Kyoto.

...

Almost three hours later, Qin and Qing arrived in Kyoto smoothly.

I didn't intend to browse too much, so I found a taxi near the train station and asked the other party to drive me to the hotel I booked with my mobile phone on the way here, and then checked in at the front desk to complete the formal check-in.

"Go, go down and eat." Qin Heqing got up and said after a brief rest.

"Aren't you going to contact the Qin family?" Yue'er asked suspiciously.

"It's not too late to contact over there later. If it's too early, it will be pulled over for socializing. I don't want to spend extra time on that kind of thing." Qin Heqing explained.

"In that case, what's the point of you coming to this festival." Yue'er rolled her eyes and said.

"At least I made my debut, and the people on Qin's side will know that there is someone like me. If there is an intersection in the future, they won't fight without knowing who it is." Qin Heqing said with a smile.

"What you said is so simple, there are so many people at the festival, who can know which number you are?"

"I know, but who told me that I don't like to socialize? Especially with some old men who are completely unfamiliar, I really can't handle it." Qin Heqing spread his hands helplessly.

"It's up to you, anyway, based on your situation, as long as you don't want to degenerate yourself, the Qin family will not give up on you easily, and it doesn't matter if you are independent, but it may make them pay more attention to you. After all, what you can’t get is always exciting.”
