People standing behind them will subconsciously take a few steps away from them.

The two young ladies did not wear gorgeous and expensive kimonos, but their long-established behavioral habits and their appearance, which was more beautiful than anyone else, naturally gave people a sense of distance.

As for Toru Watanabe...

If that handsome face was generous with its smile, even if he wore modern clothes and sat in the front worship hall, there would surely be many women who would think that there was nothing wrong with it.

Every minute or two, the crowd moved up a step.

A few people stood sideways in a row, tossed a five-yen coin, clasped their hands together and made a wish, then walked away to the next row.

Watanabe Toru watched this repetitive operation and thought in boredom:

Does God really like this?

For example, if the god Qingye, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes, were sitting in the worship hall and listening to people's wishes one after another, he would definitely be impatient, right?

Most likely they will say: "Please work hard on yourself."

If the god himself were more famous, he might be busy with several shrines at the same time, just like a bank clerk accepting commissions.

When you think about it this way, the worship hall is really a bit like a bank service window, like being visited in prison.

Imagining Kiyono Rin being visited in prison, Toru Watanabe couldn't help laughing.

Kujo Miki looked over, frowned and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Listen to me..." Watanabe Toru told the two of them everything he had just thought of, except for the last sentence.

Afterwards, he added:

"So it's best not to make complicated and trivial wishes. Keep it simple and clear. Once the gods are happy, they might agree. For example, give me 10 billion, immortality..."

"Watanabe-san, do you really understand the meaning of concise and clear?" Kiyono Rin interrupted Watanabe Toru who was dreaming.

"Compared to 'I hope my parents are healthy, my children do well in their studies, and I get a promotion and a raise,' isn't 'give me 10 billion' concise enough?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"You are only being concise and clear in your words," said Kujo Miki.

"Oh, contestant Miki has something to say, please go ahead." During the boring time in line, Toru Watanabe turned into the host.

Kujo Miki folded her arms and said, "For God, a simple and clear wish should be 'to have a doll', 'to go on a trip' or something like that."

"I see." Watanabe Toru nodded, and then said to Kiyono Rin, "Kiyono, what do you think?"

"Same as Kujo-san."

"You two really have a tacit understanding, worthy of being married people."

After saying this, Watanabe Toru was stepped on by Kujo Miki.

"I advise you to be careful with your words and actions, Watanabe Toru." Kiyono Rin also stared at him with a gentle smile.

"I am guilty, I repent, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Watanabe Toru raised his hands in surrender, pretending that his feet were in pain.

He said: "I just want to liven up the New Year atmosphere, don't take it seriously. By the way, I want to interview Miss Meiji, how is the New Year like for rich people?"

"What else can I do? Relatives, work friends, and subordinates come to visit one after another to wish you a happy new year." When it comes to this topic, Kujo Miki's face looks a little gloomy.

It seems that the eldest daughter herself doesn't like the New Year celebrations of rich people.

"It's really hard." Toru Watanabe sighed without any sympathy.

"Speaking of New Year's greetings, I remembered something." Miki Kujo smiled.

"Oh? Please go ahead!" Toru Watanabe was still playing the role of host.

Kujo Miki smiled and spread her hands to Watanabe Toru: "Give me the phone."

"..."

"Hurry up." He hooked his open hand.

Watanabe Toru reached for his cell phone and glanced at Kiyono Rin out of the corner of his eye.

Lord Kiyono had no sympathy at all, and even seemed to approve of Kujo Miki's behavior. He was watching with interest the movement of Watanabe Toru slowly taking out his cell phone.

'God! Whatever God! My New Year's wish is: I don't want a childhood friend, I don't want a childhood friend, and I don't want a childhood friend!'

The phone was handed into the snow-white and slender hands of Miki Kujo.

The screen is already filled with New Year's greetings.

Miki Kujo clicked on Line, Kiyono Rin looked over, and Miki Kujo glanced at her.

"You should need my help." Kiyono Rin looked at the phone screen and said to himself.

Miki Kujo looked at her deeply, said nothing, and clicked on the first message.

Watanabe Toru: “…”

Ladies and gentlemen, when gods and demons stand shoulder to shoulder, and their hair becomes tangled together when the evening breeze blows, the world... is hell.

"Who is this Gong Yuan?" asked Kujo Miki.

"The principal of the saxophone section of the wind orchestra." replied Rin Kiyono.

"This?" asked Kujo Miki.

"Ikeda Kazumi, a classmate of Watanabe-san." Kiyono Rin answered.

"You even know this?" Kujo Miki said in an unfriendly tone.

"Not only do I know the names of all of Watanabe's classmates, I know yours as well," Kiyono Rin said in a nonchalant tone.

"this?"

"Asuka Mai, principal of the wind section and bass section."

"this?"

“This is a boy.”

"this?"

"Koizumi Aona, Watanabe-san likes his favorite teacher."

"Kiyono-san, could you please not use such ambiguous adjectives? It's just my favorite teacher!"

Miki Kujo glanced at Toru Watanabe and continued to scroll down.

The two young ladies who had no respect for Watanabe Toru's privacy fell silent and looked at him at the same time.

"What, what happened?" Watanabe Toru panicked.

But if I think about it carefully, Asuri Mai is already there, so there seems to be no need to panic.

Miki Kujo tapped the screen with her finger, and a youthful, lively and ambiguous voice sounded.

"Tetsu-kun~ Happy New Year~"

"Tetsu-kun~ Happy New Year~"

Kujo mother! Kiyono mother! What are you doing!

As a mother, can you please keep a little distance from your son-in-law?

"You have a good relationship with them." Miki Kujo said meaningfully.

"..." Watanabe Toru explained, "Because of you guys, we have a good relationship. My direct relationship with them is really ordinary."

Kujo Miki snorted, "You're on your own," and continued to flip through the pages.

"this?"

"Hayami Kaoru, wind section, principal of oboe and bassoon section, current head of the section."

During the chat which was "meaningless but not boring at all and even exciting", it was the turn of the three to pay their respects.

Toru Watanabe put three five-yen coins into the cash box.

'God, I'll give you one more chance, open it!'

Watanabe Toru tried <Mind Reading>, <Physical Recovery> and the like, but he failed <Physical Recovery>, and <Mastery Level Mind Reading> was not as powerful as his instinctive ability to read people's expressions.

He is not interested in other professional knowledge either.

There are <Self-discipline> and <Extensive knowledge and memory>, and you can learn whatever you want by yourself, so I simply chose <Dodge> which allows you to attack or retreat.

The mission of New Year's shrine visit was completed, and the three of them left the shrine and came to the approach road filled with lanterns.

In the night, the light of lanterns illuminates the silhouettes of pedestrians.

"What wish did you make?" Toru Watanabe asked as they walked.

"I don't believe this." Miki Kujo said bluntly.

"Where's Kiyono-san?"

"It's no big deal." Qingye Rin didn't want to say.

"Then let me tell you my New Year's wish. My wish is that everyone in the Human Observation Department can have better relations and work together..."

"Shouldn't you call your father?" Kujo Miki looked over and interrupted Watanabe Toru.

"I almost forgot." Toru Watanabe took out his cell phone and called his father.

It was very noisy on the other end of the line.

After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Toru said to the two of them, "It sounds like he's reluctant to leave. Should we go slowly? Let him play for a while longer?"

The two of them had no objection.

On both sides of the shrine, there are various shops with a wide variety of goods.

There are also shops opened by the shrine itself. High school girls who come to work nearby wear red and white shrine maiden costumes and sell mascots such as arrows to ward off evil, bamboo rakes, tumblers, and amulets.

Passing by a barbecue stall, the skewers stuck around the charcoal fire attracted attention on the cold winter night.

Grilled meatballs, rice cakes, fish, beef, corn and more.

The two young ladies didn't want it, so Watanabe Toru bought himself a roasted corn that was a little black and couldn't wait to take a bite.

It smelled so good that even the girls around were drooling and they immediately bought all the corn at the barbecue stall.

After the barbecue stall, there is the chocolate banana stall, and then the shooting stall.

"You two," Watanabe Toru stopped and raised his index finger with the hand that wasn't holding the corn, "Give me one chance, just this once."

"Explain clearly." said Kujo Miki.

"My only wish for the New Year is to look cool in front of you!" Toru Watanabe pointed at the shooting stall.

The two looked at the stall.

There, several high school-age girls laid their upper bodies on a table where prop guns were placed, so that the muzzle of the gun was as close to the target as possible.

"I don't think there's anything cool about this kind of activity." Qingye Rin crossed her arms, not interested in any of it.

"Have you forgotten that I helped you get the dolphin at the arcade?!" Watanabe Toru raised his index finger and gave him this look.

Qing Ye Lin turned away slightly, and said in a slightly unconfident voice: "But it's okay if you want to play, I can be a spectator."

"I think I should be the one to allow this kind of thing, Kiyono-san?" Kujo Miki narrowed her eyes and looked at Kiyono Rin.

Qingye Rin brushed her long hair off her shoulders.

"Battle mode, on!" Toru Watanabe voiced her movements.

"Alright, alright," Watanabe Toru stuffed the corn into Kujo Miki's mouth, "all you have to do is look at me with admiration!"

Miki Kujo glared at him, then out of boredom took a bite of the corn in her hand.

Toru Watanabe was paying the boss without knowing his corn cob had been eaten.

The three high school girls were about to leave, but when they turned around and saw Watanabe Toru, they decided to stay.

"The aim seems to be a little off." One of the girls couldn't help but remind.
