I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Chapter 166: The sincerity of the quintessence

"It's a big deal to even wrap up an entire cafe as an exhibition hall."

The table and chairs, which were originally very modern and artistic, were removed, and they were arranged in a place like an art exhibition.

In the acrylic exhibition boxes, there are the documents about the history of Akagi Shrine, Ukiyo-e, and some small accessories that Sosuke Araki "accidentally" found that day.

"Thanks to Mr. Araki, the lost history of Akagi Shrine has been revived. It is precisely because of these cultural relics that the popularity of this Akagi Festival is unprecedentedly high. Even many shrines that have historical ties to Akagi Shrine have expressed that they will send representatives to participate. Woolen cloth."

Following Araki Sosuke, Kotori Yumayumi introduced the exhibits in front of him and Higashino Kohei one by one.

"Little Bird Traveling Genealogy", "Akagi Ancient Story", ancient ritual props, paintings about festival scenes...

After walking around, Sousuke Araki yawned.

"Hey, what about the three so-called 'artifacts'?"

He has never been interested in these antique documents that he cannot understand and cannot eat.

What's more, the more Yumayumi Kotori described the value of these things, the greater the "loss" he calculated in his heart.

After all, the inscription of Japan's "Lost and Found Law" stipulates that when the owner cannot be identified within 6 months of publication, the lost property shall be owned by the discoverer; however, buried objects found in other people's possessions shall be distributed equally by the discoverer and others.

"Tomorrow, those three artifacts will be enshrined in the main hall for everyone to worship."

After walking around the main hall with Yukio Higashino, Sousuke Araki was ready to leave.

"Wait...the row that came a little from Torii is..."

Just as he was visiting the exhibits, the workers set up tents similar to night market stalls on both sides of the stone road in the torii.

"Every year during the Akagi Festival, the places on both sides of the road are rented to vendors who specialize in all kinds of festivals and temple fairs... This year's popularity is quite high, and business will be very good."

"Wow? Setting up a stall?"

Hearing this topic, Sousuke Araki and Yukihira Higashino looked at each other excitedly.

"Little Bird You, do you have any booths to rent to us?"

Sousuke Araki asked with interest.

"Mr. Araki... So you have such a hobby? If you like it, just use it directly..."

Tori Yumayumi looked at Sousuke Araki in surprise.

As far as she knows, in addition to being an "illegal slayer" who is powerful and indifferent to fame and fortune, Mr. Araki has been involved in extreme ways and beasts, attended university, worked part-time as a convenience store clerk and delivery clerk. Set up a stall?

"Sorry...you say, hobby?"

Sosuke Araki put his hands on his chest, and chuckled gloomily: "We are professionals! When we were in Yokohama, we would go to a stall to earn extra money from two one to the weekend, and we were collectively known as the two heroes of the night market... How is it, Yukihira, is your housekeeping skill still there?"

Sousuke Araki looked at Yukihira Higashino provocatively.

"Hey, unlike you, the decadent guy, my hand speed hasn't dropped for a day... If it's just one day, I can play with you."

A cruel chuckle appeared on Higashino Kohei's face.

Just when the two of them looked at each other and smiled with affection, several men in suits with bad expressions strode into the torii gate.

Yutaro Kotori went up to talk to them for a few words, and there was a slightly loud quarrel over there.

"The conditions offered by our consortium are already very sincere, so why did Xiaoniaoyou refuse? You must know that people who do business on this street, even if it is a shrine, are not good at being humane and moral..."

"Several people, although that thing is worn out, it is a family heirloom. It's not because I don't know how to promote it, but it really can't be sold."

Even in the face of several men with bad attitudes, Yutaro Kotori still explained to them patiently with a warm smile.

"What's the situation, those believers who are very devout at first glance, do they want to visit in advance?"

Sousuke Araki looked over there curiously.

"Those people are said to be from the National Essence Association. I don't know where they got the news. They came to my father repeatedly, saying that they wanted to pay a lot of money to buy Yaodao Qiyueyu. Naturally, my father would not agree... But most of the shops in Kagurazaka, It is all the industry of the National Essence Association, and it is not easy to turn against them.”

"The quintessence of the nation? I heard that there is an unclear relationship with the trio."

Hearing the quarrel of several people, Higashino Yukihira frowned slightly.

The National Essence Association is an old-fashioned extremist organization established in Tokyo in the early 1990s. Because it cannot keep up with the development of the times, it has been declining for many years, and now it is only a third-rate violent group.

"I heard that these antiques from Akagi Shrine were lost in the fire back then... It's been dry and dry recently, so be careful with fire prevention."

Seeing Yutaro the bird greeted people with a smiling face, but he was always indifferent, one of the middle-aged men said yin and yang strangely.

"Your Excellency has something to say, but it is suspected of being a threat, and it violates the provisions of the "Violence Group Countermeasures Act"."

Yutaro Kotori responded without changing his face.

When this group of people came a few days ago, he had already felt that the other party was not at ease and naturally unwilling to cooperate.

"You bastard, we've been here for a few days, we're going to talk about it... shame on you..."

Another man took out his mobile phone with a calm expression.

Yutaro Kotori is right. Since the introduction of the "Tactics Against Violent Groups", their life has become more and more difficult.

Last week, some members even politely asked "can it be cheaper?" when they were shopping for food, but they were all taken away by the police on the charge of threatening.

After a while, more than a dozen men with fierce appearances, shirtless and tattooed, with almost no words "brother" and "ruozhong" on their faces, walked out of the Chicheng God Gate, or squatted. Or standing in a crowd around the torii.

Several invited guests who were about to enter the torii gate, as well as passers-by who came to the shrine to pray for blessings, were frightened by this scene and quickly left the venue.

Even the workers who were decorating the venue ~lightnovelpub.net~ hid.

"Funamura-san, you can just..."

Seeing that the torii gate of the shrine was blocked, even though he was as gentle as a bird Yutaro, his face couldn't help but turn cold.

"Little Bird You-sang, these little brothers like me are all people who have their hearts on the gods, you can't keep others out of the door... Besides, this commercial street is a public place and everyone can come. In order to show the sincerity of the quintessence of the nation towards this festival, let them join in the fun for the past two days and add some popularity to your Akagi Festival, wouldn't it be fun?"

The middle-aged man known as "Funamura-san" said yin and yang strangely.

"These guys are too deceiving..."

Standing on the top of the stone steps, seeing this scene, Yuma Yumiya was ready to go down and have a theory with them.

But... Sousuke Araki had already appeared under the torii for some time.

"Little Bird You Sang, the first booth you enter, can you arrange it for me?"

He pointed to the first booth behind the torii gate and asked as if no one else was there.

"Huh? No problem... But for now..."

Yutaro Little Bird was stunned by his sudden question.

"Since there's no problem... Xingping, come over quickly to clean up the garbage and set up the booth."

Sosuke Araki grabbed a knot from under the stall and tied it to his head like an uncle selling fried noodles at a night market.

Then, he waved the back of his hand in disgust at the dozen or so men in front of the torii gate with a vicious expression: "Hey, you stinky brats, you are blocking the light of my stall, uncle, hurry up and walk away..."
