Chapter 12 (1/2)
Chapter 12: Shrine and Bathhouse
Thank you in advance
The air in a different world is pleasant While walking to the town Jin enjoying the clearthe street and he can see the clerk is lively with o out to the main road, you will findFro
Jin feels full because of the inn e around curiously
”Let's grab our lunch here”
As his stomach is filled, he has no choice but to set it aside to eat for lunch After Jin satisfies his curiosity, he went towards the shrine
Why did Jin want to go to the shrine? Because he wants to offer to greet after ht him when he was an adult when you move to a different place it's a courtesy to visit the shrine You left the land you originally lived which under the shrine protection and the new location is under the new shrine's protection It will be i gratitude
Jin has been visiting the shrine since he learned about it and this time he intends to do the same
And from the small talks with the elder sister at the inn he understands there are many Gods in this world The shrine is for all kind of Gods, and there's no specific shrine for each God It goes without saying, the God that people whofrom battle and merchant worshi+p isn't the sa that bestowed to the people aren't limited from the God that they worshi+p but Gods as a whole Unlike the original world, what is unique from this world is it's easy to witness the effect of God's blessing
And that's a familiar idea for Jin who had lived in japan where there are eight million Gods
If you've lived in a monotheism society, you may have been bewildered But Jin, who is well accustoion where shi+ntoision coexist in japan was able to accept it without difficulty
”Aa~ the building is i [Map], as expected it's spacious considering e is similar to the Parthenon shrine in Athens? And the beautiful pale wall appears to be made from marble Jin instinctively let out a voice of admiration
When you enter the temple, you can see there are several visitors and a priest who cleans up
And in the front altar, there was a 3God statue It conveyed a tender impression with a pure white shi+ne round decorations ure was deforht, it see but at the sa Perhaps, what is seen is different individually Jin felt the statue is suitable for the teure, isn't it?”
Jin who unconsciously staring at the God's statue at the altar, it wasn't until someone called him he notices his actions
”Excuse me My name is Clark, and I am the head of this temple I'm sorry to have surprised you”
It was an elderly white-haireda blue priest's unifor to visit without praying”
Replied Jin
”No no, I understand your feeling Besides watching with such a tender face, just noas familiar so I called out I'm sorry to bother you”
Said Clark with a sht, it islike this”
Jin softened after the ave off friendly old e in the original world He became relaxed Jin's mood is totally on old man mode
”Oh, I'm late My name is Jin I just caister as an adventurer today”
When they s back from confusion Jin introduces himself
”Fufufu Don't worry about it But you may have a chance to meet with an adventurer This is a chance If you have any question, you can ask ed s behind bowed to him and spoke to Head Priest Clark
”I'm sorry to bother you Head Priest, is it time?”
“Oh, is it time for that? See you later, Jin-san God bless you”
”Yes Thank you so much”
They bowed, and Clark with the priest went back inside the teets to know head priest unexpectedly and was able to grasp his character then he re here Jin looked around, confirmed the way visitor prayed When in Rome do as the Romans
In that case, he turns to the God's statue, correcting his posture and bent one knee at the spot He wrapped his fist-shaped left hand around his right hand and held it to the front of his face, and slightly lowered his head and closed his eyes And pray
Thank you this world's Gods for accepting me
I know I'm special and I will try not to stand out as a citizen and not causing confusion in this world However, please forgive ency
