High Priest in Japan

I know about this matter. I will inform the patriarch and elders later. Of course, I will never forget your achievements. Maybe after this time, the clan will give you some rewards. After listening to Qin Heqing After the report, Qin Zongdao's tone changed from sullen to relaxed, with a hint of a joke.

It's good that it's useful. As for the rewards, let's do whatever you want. Qin Heqing smiled indifferently and said politely.

By the way, in a few days it will be the family festival. Do you want to come back to participate? It's just a chance to meet with the people in the family and get to know each other. Qin Zongdao heard the noncommittal in Qin Heqing's words I didn't say anything more, and turned to another thing-the ritual festival!

That is to say, the official sacrifice to Qin Shihuang, Rongtong King, and Qin Jiugong.

Generally, it will be held around the 8th of October every year. Depending on the holiday at that time, it is usually chosen on a Sunday, which is convenient for ordinary people to participate in and increase the popularity of Qin Shihuang's sacrifice and Qin's sacrifice.

But most of the time it is very unfortunate that the date of the sports festival in the island country will conflict with the date of the Qin Clan Festival—the routine festivals of Qin Shihuang and Qin Jiugong are not well-known, so even if it is in Kyoto, the main branch of the Qin Clan who lives now There is not much influence in the city, let alone how many people will participate.

So gradually, this ritual festival has become a day for general business and family gatherings to connect family members and maintain family stability.

When? Qin Heqing asked.

His family's Qin Clan Inari Shrine will also hold ritual festivals and the like, so it's not surprising, but I'm concerned about the itinerary——

It's not good if it conflicts.

Number 7.

It happened to be Sunday.

Okay, I'll go there. Qin Heqing agreed after thinking about it.

It also happened to be a chance to see part of the Qin family.

Then remember to call me before you arrive, so that I can arrange someone to pick you up at the station. Qin Zongdao said happily.

OK

Then the two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Qin Zongdao hung up the phone.

Are you going to the capital? Yue'er raised her head after hearing the phone call, shifting her eyes from the scroll in her hand to Qin Heqing.

Well, what's the problem? Qin Heqing asked with some surprise.

If you go to Kyoto to participate in the ritual festival, what about our ritual festival? Yue'er asked.

...Let's move it to Saturday, it's not too late anyway. Qin Heqing shrugged.

Then you have to talk to those chambers of commerce that support the shrine. After all, the agreed time is Sunday, and it will be replaced by Saturday. Although it doesn't make much difference in our opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean it on their side.

The effect of various publicity plans may be very different one day sooner or later.

I see. I'll contact Mr. Kakuda and the others right now. Qin Heqing could somewhat understand the difference here, nodded, and dialed Mr. Kakuda's number again.

Hello, Mr. Kakuda, it's me, Qin Heqing, I'm sorry to bother you at this time...

Hello, is this Mr. Shiga? I'm Qin Heqing from the Qin Clan Inari Shrine...

Hello, Mr. Sima...

One by one, Qin Heqing personally called the shop owners who supported his shrine and were willing to help hold the festival, and informed them of the rescheduled festival.

Although there were some verbal complaints, they all accepted this fact very sensibly and were willing to help organize people to make this year's festival a success.

Okay, it's done. Qin Heqing sighed.

Don't look around afterwards, thank you very much. Yue'er reminded.

Well, I will never forget it. Qin Heqing nodded in affirmation.

Then Yue'er didn't say anything more, and studied the secret technique on the scroll with Qin Heqing.

Of course, it is mainly Yueer's teaching, Qin and Qing's learning, and only occasionally will they discuss together to study better methods of use and mastery.

Time passed like this, and time came to October 6th, Saturday.

Early in the morning—just after six o'clock, Qin Heqing, who had changed into official priestly robes, rushed to the shrine, inspected the shrine, cleaned up the environment, and confirmed the items and props to welcome today's festival activities.

until seven o'clock...

I'm not late. Kato Megumi, dressed in trousers, shirt and a windproof jacket, walked into the shrine and smiled at Qin Heqing.

No, the time is just right. Qin Heqing said with a smile.

That's good. After a pause, he continued, Give me the clothes.

Wait a moment. After saying that, Qin Heqing turned and went back to the sales house, found the backpack he brought when he came, took out a set of clean dancer costumes and Chihaya with the pattern of thousands of cranes, and handed them to Kato benefit.

Hey, go change it, and call me if you don't understand anything.

Where's Yue'er? Kato Megumi took the clothes, tilted his head and asked back.

I'm here. Yue'er showed her figure and said.

Since Yue'er is here, I'll ask Yue'er later, He Qingjun, you should continue preparing for the festival and leave me alone. Kato Hui said.

...All right. Qin Heqing glanced at her speechlessly—it's not that she hasn't seen it before, so she doesn't need to be so shy, so she didn't say much, and directly handed the backpack containing other costumes and props to Yue'er , Let her take it to accompany Kato Megumi to change clothes.

Then Kato Megumi turned and walked away, and followed Yue'er into the side hall of the shrine amid Yue'er's slightly mocking smirk.

Tch, who do you think I am? Seeing this, the bored Qin Heqing curled his lips and said.

Then walked into the sales room, pulled a chair and sat down, picked up the phone, and browsed various information——

For example, the chamber of commerce group, to see everyone's preparations.

For example, the club customer group, look at the interests of women.

Another example is the private friend menu, look at their circle of friends to pass the blank time before the festival starts.

...

Ten minutes later, accompanied by a ringing bell, Megumi Kato reappeared in Qin Heqing's line of sight in a full suit!

It's just that compared with just now, her appearance is already very different! The costume changed from normal clothes to a red and white shrine maiden dress, covered with a white Chihaya painted with flying cranes, the original mid-high ponytail was moved down as a whole, and replaced with a hanging tail, with a red string tied around the ponytail , and the rope is decorated with long ribbons and knots, which naturally hang down on both sides of the hair, fluttering and dancing as Kato Megumi moves.

With white foot bags on her feet, wooden clogs on her feet, and a golden headdress on her head, Kato Megumi instantly changed from an ordinary commoner girl to a high-ranking priestess from everyone or an inherited family line. The sacred breath makes it impossible for people to feel profane.

There is light makeup on the face, no facial whitening, and it is not the imperial pillar that represents the body of the gods, and that kind of thing is not available, so the makeup on the lips of the whole person looks brighter, red, and somewhat eye-catching .

Holding a Kagura bell in one hand and a gold and silver fan in the other, the whole person has completely entered the state before the ceremony. Only the stage and music are needed to transform into a Kagura dancer, dancing to worship the gods and entertain the gods.

Awesome! For a moment, Qin Heqing praised Megumi Kato from the bottom of his heart.
