Chapter 100: Pray for blessings in Namimori Town! Amulets! Amulets! ...
Follow the shrine's approach to the main hall, pull the thick rope hanging from it, and ring the bell.
Clap your hands twice, place your palms together, recite your wish silently, bow deeply, and exit the worship hall.
Following the above steps, the worship is complete.
"...Vongola."
Sawada Tsunayoshi subconsciously said: "Eh, eh? Yes? I'm here."
Player: Watch...
Being stared at in silence, Sawada Tsunayoshi was unable to immediately understand what the other person wanted to say.
Following the direction of the player's finger, Sawada Tsunayoshi saw the cash box in front of them, and his face turned dejected when he realized what was going on.
Woo…
It turned out that he was asked to take the coin for praying.
He just knew it!
It's all Reborn's fault. He said he should be responsible for all of Fushimi's expenses.
Unable to stop complaining in his heart, he unconsciously held the coin he had prepared in advance in his hand for a long time. It was even warm. Sawada Tsunayoshi was not sure if it was stained with sweat.
He wiped it twice hurriedly with his sleeve and quickly handed it to the other person in a disguised manner.
The two men dropped five-yen coins into the coin box and bowed to the deity in the worship hall.
Snap, snap——
Sawada Tsunayoshi clapped his hands twice, but he couldn't immediately think of the wish he wanted to fulfill. He couldn't help but be distracted and pay attention to Fushimi Kyoki, who was standing next to him and did not choose to close his eyes, but just put his hands together.
...I usually visit the shrine with my mother, Yamamoto and others.
Ah, of course!
The same is true this time.
It’s just that the people around me are slightly different.
He slowly exhaled, put aside all distracting thoughts, and prepared to make a wish to the gods again.
Fushimi Kyoji clasped his hands together twice and said earnestly, "Oh, God, please bless me with a happy family, academic success, a prosperous future, becoming the richest man in Japan, and a healthy and safe life to the age of 100..."
How can this be considered praying to God...
Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed silently: He made a lot of requests to the gods without any reverence...
and,
How much you love yourself!
There are so many wishes that I want to come true!
"Well, I'm afraid 5 yen isn't enough to fulfill so many wishes." Sawada Tsunayoshi gently reminded the player, trying to make him realize how unrealistic such fantasies were.
"Oh, that's it."
Tsunayoshi Sawada had not yet realized what would happen next from the other party's calm reaction.
The player suddenly steps forward, leans forward with his upper body, and extends his hand.
"Are you trying to... get the coin back?" he asked in disbelief. He then went even further insane, unable to control his voice, "Ahh! Don't be disrespectful to the gods—"
It’s hard to say whether it was because of his mysterious intuition that he could predict the behavior, or because of his accumulated familiarity with the player’s personality, but Tsunayoshi Sawada grabbed the other person at the first moment.
Well, now he doesn't have to worry about what wish to make.
Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly recited in his mind: His wish was that the gods would not be angry with Fushimi because of this.
"Oh! Tsuna, Fushimi, have you made your wishes?" Yamamoto Takeshi, who was waiting for them outside the worship hall, noticed the two of them and waved to them.
"Tenth generation!" Hayato Gokudera greeted Tsunayoshi Sawada in a very spirited manner, and then glanced up and down at the players nonchalantly.
Fushimi Kyoji glanced in the direction where they were standing and waiting, and at first glance he noticed the ema and amulet not far away.
"What wish did Gokudera-san write on the ema?"
Gokudera Hayato reflexively retorted: "Haa, why should I tell you?"
Her emerald green eyes glanced over, then she turned her face away in disgust: "Don't get so close to me when we're talking."
Eh?
Obviously there is no difference from before.
I'm the type who gets easily overwhelmed...
"Haha...it's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Sawada Tsunayoshi was used to smoothing things over when there were more than 2 people. He abruptly changed the subject, "I think I saw some amulets over there. Let's go buy one too!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi's proposal was unanimously passed.
Because it is not a particularly famous shrine, only locals occasionally come to worship on festival days, and the most luxurious amulet only costs one thousand yen.
"Woo! You don't have to pay for it yourself, you sound so generous..." The next tenth generation leader of the Vongola family, whose only income is the weekly pocket money given by his mother, covered his wallet with grief and anger.
[Ordinary amulet*1: This can barely be considered a product blessed by the gods, but the divine power contained within is close to non-existent. Don't expect to be blessed with good luck wearing it. It may be a psychological comfort for the unfortunate.]
"Hey, Yamamoto..." Sawada Tsunayoshi noticed that Yamamoto Takeshi was just watching them choose amulets. He asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to ask for an amulet?"
"Oh, about this." Yamamoto Takeshi blinked when the question was suddenly brought up. It was rare to see him look vague. "Well..."
Takeshi Yamamoto put his hand into his collar, and Sawada Tsunayoshi saw that he was wearing a thin rope similar to a necklace around his neck.
The hand that he took out from his collar held a brand new five-yen coin.
Pass a string through the hole in the middle of the coin and hang it around your neck.
"If it's a talisman... I already have it." He showed it to Sawada Tsunayoshi happily.
The similar pronunciation to "缘" (缘) makes the five-yen coin very popular in shrines, where people hope to establish a connection with the gods.
It's not strange to use it as a talisman like Yamamoto Takeshi did.
"The baseball gods abandoned me before, so I won't believe in them either."
What a naive idea!
Sawada Tsunayoshi was immediately furious: Is this a child? This person...
“Eh…”
Sawada Tsunayoshi stammered, looking curiously at the coin in Yamamoto Takeshi's hand: "So this is..."
Are there any other shrines in Namimori Town besides the one they are in now?
"Hmm..." Yamamoto Takeshi acted as if he was stumped and troubled by the question, and did not give a definite answer for a long time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing his usual bright smile, and said irresponsibly and cheerfully:
"Maybe it'll be Lady Luck!"
Tsunayoshi Sawada just felt that he had so much to complain about that he had no way to express it, and a feeling of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
——In the end, you yourself are not sure!
