I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

After parting ways with the Tohsaka family, the Matou family finally entered Ryudou Temple.

Most temples across Japan are not busy on weekdays (except for famous large temples such as Kinkakuji), but it is a different scene during major festivals. This is caused by Japan's special culture and can be regarded as one of the local characteristics. .

Compared with China, the origin of the inheritance, Shinji actually believes that Japan is closer to the purpose of Buddhism's pure land. Those temples in China, because the incense is too strong, are contaminated with too much secular atmosphere and the smell of copper, and they look more like consortiums than temples. The Buddha is only a symbol there, and the monks are not cultivating the Buddha but fame and fortune. The so-called "six roots of purity" have long been forgotten.

Of course, there are many strange things about Japanese Buddhism. For example, some sects do not need to shave their hair, some sects can get married, some sects cannot prohibit meat and fish, etc. - although in the eyes of Shinji, who has six impure roots, this is not only not a bad thing. , on the contrary, it is a great good thing.

Ryudouji Temple is such a temple that Shinji described as "very good". Although this is a family temple, all the abbots come from the Liudong sect. Liudong here is not the name of the temple but the surname, which means you can get married, but the rules and practices in the temple are very strict. Morning classes and evening classes, chanting sutras, martial arts, and self-cultivation take up most of the monks' time.

Because of this, Ryudouji Temple has a very high reputation in Fuyuki City, even surpassing the local shrines, and has become the first choice place for citizens to worship for the first time.

Although it deliberately avoids the peak period of worship, there is still an endless stream of people coming to worship.

Because it is related to religion, there is a specific process for Japan's first level of education. According to the difference in the place of worship, it is divided into shrine first hall and temple first hall.

Let’s not mention the first attainment of the shrine, but let’s talk about the first attainment of the temple. The initial attainment in the temple is mainly divided into several steps, such as making a wish in front of the Buddha, drawing lots, ringing the bell, and asking for the peace charm. Each step has corresponding requirements.

The ceremony itself is not complicated, nor does it arouse people's resistance. The whole family will feel a slight sense of solemnity when many people worship together. To be honest, Shinji quite likes this feeling.

After leaving the main hall where the Buddha statue was enshrined, the youngest Sakura couldn't wait to hold Shenji's hand and asked: "Brother, brother, what is your wish?"

"I won't tell you." Shen Er pretended to be secretive.

"Tell me, tell me." Sakura shook Shinji's hand coquettishly, "Fujino-sister wants to know too, right?"

Fujino nodded.

"Then let's talk about you first." Shen Er turned against General Yijun.

"Well, I'll come first." Sakura was still very positive. "My wish is that my father's health will get better and that my brother can spend more time with me."

"That's it."

Shinji was not surprised by Sakura's wish, but he really couldn't guarantee the last point. Both Kenneth and the Clone team needed his power.

"Where's Fujino?"

"Well, I hope that the wishes of the whole family can come true." The family in Fujino's wish does not refer to blood relations, but to the large family members who care about her and love her.

After such a comparison, Sakura felt that her wish was suddenly outweighed: "Ah, Sister Fujino is so cunning."

There was a hint of cunning on Fujino's face that was inconsistent with his calm temperament: "The family I'm talking about also includes you, Sakura."

"Hmm. I will make a wish like this next year." Sakura pouted and vowed, "It's my brother's turn."

"I'd better keep it a secret." Shenji smiled slightly.

"Why is this like this? Didn't we agree that you have to say what we have said?" Sakura's little mouth pouted even higher.

"Have we agreed? Why don't I remember?" Shen Er's expression was treacherous, "I just said I would tell you about you first, but I didn't say I would tell about mine."

"Shinji!" This time, even the usually submissive Fujino stopped.

Shinji looked at Sakura on the left and Fujino on the right, then ran away.

"Don't run." The two girls chased after him, waving their little fists.

The person who is chasing is very serious about chasing, but the person who is running away is not serious about running. You must know that the girls are wearing kimonos, wearing clogs, and their activities are severely restricted. How can they outrun Shinji in a suit and trousers? If Shenji really wanted to run away, he would have disappeared long ago. He just wanted to chase and fight with his family after a long absence.

Tsuruya, Erza, and Kariya watched this scene happily, chatting and following behind.

Chengzi lowered her head to prevent others from seeing the emotion in her eyes. Maybe this is the real brother and sister, but I and Qingzi have never played like this, not even once.

Justeza hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not join. As a member of the Einzbern family, she has never experienced such a feeling. She should let Shinji play with her alone one day.

With this thought in mind, the beautiful "snow girl" childishly kicked away the snowdrifts on the roadside. This scene fell into the eyes of a child holding a broom and wearing a cassock, and it immediately aroused the other's vigilance.

The child wearing glasses clasped his hands together and recited silently: "Erase all karma and be reborn in the pure land, and the evil spirits will be dispersed!"

On the other side, Shinji, who ran all the way to the lottery table, saw a familiar family again - the Emiya family.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya put on formal dark kimonos, but Irisviel and Illya did not. Mother and daughter wore the same style of white coats, and covered themselves tightly with hats and scarves. Indeed, the exposed eyes also changed color using magic.

Shinji didn't come up to say hello like he did to the Tosaka family, but just bowed his hands to Kiritsugu and the others from afar. The family has always kept a low profile, and Shenji will not add unnecessary variables to their hard-earned peaceful life.

However, there are still four people. It seems that Kiritsugu and Maiya still haven't found Sigma in 1998. Also, how can a mother and son who have been separated since birth reunite so easily? Take a chance and pay attention to the clock tower to see if there is a magician who is good at prophecy magic.

Oh, no, not four people, but five people. Because the last person had such a lively personality, he seemed to have already completed the worship service and was waving to the others in front of the main hall.

This person is also very familiar to Shinji. She is the famous Bamboo Sword Girl, no, she should be the Bamboo Sword Girl now, Taiga Fujimura, known as the "Tiger of Fuyuki".

She is the granddaughter of the original owner of Emiya House, the yakuza tycoon Fujimura Raika. As described in the book "Fate Zero", after the Holy Grail War, the Fujimura group sent people to help renovate the old Emiya house out of righteousness, and Taiga also came to help.

Soon, this girl with a simple brain comparable to Lizzie Byfield was attracted by Emiya Kiritsugu, a cold young man with a melancholic temperament, and became Emiya Kiritsugu's crush. After Irisviel "appeared", he became a fan of Irisviel (disciple number zero), and not long after, he became the "master" of Illya (disciple number one), and he didn't know that it was the world line. Shrinking, some people are more congenial by nature.

The only thing that is certain is that Kiritsugu's luck in love seems to be getting stronger.

"Caught!"

After stopping for a moment to watch, Sakura and Fujino had already caught up. They grabbed Shinji's arms on the left and right to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.

"I lost, I won't run away again." Shenji surrendered.

"Then, tell us your wish." The girls said in unison.

"Wish? I hope for world peace (nuclear) peace - of course it is impossible. My wish is that the people I care about are healthy and happy."

This is Shinji's heartfelt prayer.

PS: Japanese shrine maidens and Japanese monks are both great.

PS2: By 1999, the next volume of "fate apocrypha" is not far away. Friends who like Fate, don't worry. In that Holy Grail War, the second master had no worries, so he acted more unrestrainedly.

PS3: So the question is, although the traitor has already conceived the second master’s new partner, book friends have any good ideas that they can put forward.
