Chapter 41: Inside and outside the torii, secular and divine realms
On April 30th, the wind was strong in Tokyo and the leaves were dancing wildly, marking the end of April.
Together with Tenga Hari, take the JR train, get off at Yoyogi Station, and go to Qingmei Shrine.
Although it is a true shrine, for ordinary people, it is just an attraction. In addition, it is the weekend, and there are a lot of tourists here - at least there are a lot of people queuing at the door.
Domestic tourists and foreign tourists are evenly divided.
"There are so many people." Tianhe Xia Li muttered to himself as he looked at the long queue with no end in sight.
Even the two... monsters who were 'forced' to come had to line up honestly.
She looked towards the front of the team. Many people in the front of the team turned back to look at her secretly.
Wearing a simple yet exquisitely crafted white dress, she showed off her excellent figure. Her bust was plump, her waist was just right thin, and her legs had the wonderful curves that all women dream of.
Her beauty is so beautiful that even women are tempted by her.
When he looked towards the front of the team, although the extent of the protrusion was not large and there was no possibility of him falling because of his unstable center of gravity, Tianhe Xia Li still pinched the corner of Aikawa Yusheng's clothes with his index finger and thumb.
"Are there any admission fees here? I don't want to make money for Arc Moon Mirror." Unlike Tianhe Xia Li's focus, Aikawa Yusheng was confused about this point.
Having defrauded him of 100 million yen and continuing to make money for himself, this was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"I don't know, it doesn't matter. If so, I'll secretly pay for it for you. We're not going out to play, I'm hiring you, so it should be reasonable to spend money on it."
Tianhe Xia Li stood up straight, and her beautiful curves were fully exposed. Because the distance between the two was so close, Aikawa Yusheng could still vaguely see a little V-shaped mark formed by the underwear.
It's not a seamless underwear, it should be a push-up type - no wonder it looks really eye-catching today.
It's really not porn, it's just a subconscious conclusion that Aikawa Yusheng, who has been sober for two months and has gradually become an underwear expert, analyzed in his mind.
Let me emphasize again, Aikawa Yusheng is not erotic.
"It's okay. If you really have to pay, I will go to the shrine and steal something to repay the money." Aikawa Yusheng said very negative words in a positive tone.
"It's our turn! It's our turn!" Tianhe Xia Li grabbed Aikawa Yusheng's arm and walked forward.

There is no need to buy tickets, you can get free e-tickets on your mobile phone, just register.
"There are so many rules." Tianhe Xia Li commented while looking at the precautions on the paper voucher.
"No noise, no littering...no wasting food."
The last item was most likely added by Shang Yingkongfeng.
The outer garden is a very vast lawn, and many tourists have spread picnic mats on it, or family members, friends, or friends gather to have dinner.
Aikawa Yusheng took a long and greedy breath, and the faint lily fragrance of the girl next to him mixed with the fresh air on the grass was inhaled into his belly.
In Tokyo, a city where land is at a premium, it is really rare to see such lush greenery.
"The torii gate goes in this direction, right...right?" Looking at the simplified map on the paper voucher, Tianhe Xari studied it for a while and then looked at Aikawa Yusheng.
"I can't even tell the difference between east, west and north, so I don't recommend you ask me for help."
"Then take a look. Does the 'Royal Forest' on the map refer to this area?" Tianhe Xia Li raised the map slightly higher and placed it in front of Aikawa Yusheng. Then he stood on tiptoes and looked away from the map.
into the young man's eyes.
The distance between the two people was so close that Aikawa Yusheng could even clearly count every eyelash of the girl. Under the trembling eyelashes like cicada wings, there were eyes as clear as a stream.
The white skin is very spiritual under the sunshine.
It's just a way to make yourself fall in love with her.
"should be."
Looking up at the royal forest, Aikawa Yusheng nodded.
Although he has lived here for about a month, Aikawa Yusheng is really not very familiar with it.
During that month, I usually lived in the dormitory under the snow in the moon mirror - the utility room next door.
I learn how to type, use mobile phones, traffic lights and sidewalks and other basic safety knowledge in this world every day, and rarely have time to go shopping.
Even three meals were provided by Arc Yue Jing Xuexia, but occasionally I would go to the restaurant by myself.
After twisting left and right, the two finally arrived at the large torii gate of the shrine.
Torii is an auxiliary building of an island shrine. It represents the entrance to the divine realm and is used to distinguish the divine realm where gods live from the secular world where humans live.
To put it simply, it is a ‘door’-like building.
The existence of the torii gate is to remind visitors that stepping into the torii gate means entering the divine realm, and all subsequent behaviors should be paid special attention to.
The large torii of Qingmei Shrine is 12 meters high and 17 meters wide. The diameter of the pillars on both sides is 1.2 meters. Passers-by walking under it will feel insignificant.
Pedestrians passing by here, whether they are going from the 'secular world' to the 'godly realm' or from the 'godly realm' to the 'secular world', will pay homage to the torii and bow seriously.
For ordinary people, this is a customary rule to show respect for the gods.
After the old woman in front of her finished paying homage seriously, Tianhe Xia Li also took a step forward.
His expression instantly became a little pale, his lips were slightly pursed, and the originally cherry-colored lips turned a little white, and his right hand quickly took Aikawa Yusheng's hand.
Behind the soft palm, the cool and silky touch, there was a constant trembling.
Aikawa Yusheng glanced at the girl and did not let go.
Tianhe Xia Li is not pretending. For ordinary people, worshiping may be just a custom, but for monsters, passing through this door will be under the strong pressure of the gods.
Tianhe Xia Li suppressed the trembling of her body and bowed to the torii in earnest. After bowing for the third time, the trembling in her palms gradually subsided.
The two people walked from the 'secular world' to the 'godly realm' peacefully.
"It's so scary!" Tianhe Xia Li pressed his left hand on his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, with fear in his voice.
There was a little cold sweat on his smooth forehead.
"I brought a small pack of tissues. Let go and I'll bring it to you." Aikawa Yusheng said with the pocket on his left.
"Let go?" Tianhe Xia Li seemed to realize this now. He looked at his right hand that was held by the other party, raised it high, and said happily:
"Okay! The hand-holding was successful! How about our child be called Aikawa-chan! No need, I'm a little sweaty. Do you need any tissues? Let's continue holding hands. Let's go, let's go."
"Your hands are all sweaty." Aikawa Yusheng rubbed his brows in distress. Finally, under Tianhe Xia Li's resentful eyes, Aikawa Yusheng let go of his hand and handed the tissue to her.
"Speaking of which, Aikawa-kun, why did you pass that terrifying torii gate like a normal person?"
Aikawa Yusheng didn't even bow.
"I, Aikawa Yusheng, am just an ordinary person. What does it matter if I don't abide by customs?" Aikawa Yusheng said disdainfully and arrogantly.
It seemed that the god couldn't stand it any longer. Right in front of Tianhe Xia Li's eyes, Aikawa Yusheng flew out and fell to the ground outside the torii.
"...Pfft~" Tianhe Xia Li tried hard to suppress a smile in the torii.
"...."
"Under the snow in the arc moon mirror, you are cruel."
