Part 4

We are a matchmaking shrine.

Matchmaking?

Lexia-san, Luna, Yuti, and Merl twisted their necks, perhaps not being accustomed to hearing this word.

Yes. There are various requests to get a job at a good company or to connect with friends, but the most obvious request is to find love.

Love?

The moment they heard those words, I thought the eyes of Lexia-san and the others had changed.

For example, we have a lot of things like love fortune and spots to increase your luck in love.

Heh I didnt know it was a place like that.

Because I came here before for a test of courage, I didnt have that impression.

After a brief explanation, Lexia-sans eyes lit up.

I-I want to do all of that! No, Ill do it!

R-right. It is also important for us to investigate the God of this country. Yes.

I-Im curious too!

Is that so? Then go ahead and do it.

Thus, overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of some of the girls, we were led by Kagurazaka-san.

First, we were taken to a place where we could draw fortunes.

You can draw the omikuji here.

Whats an omikuji?

Well, to put it simply, it is something that predicts a persons fortune Ours is a love omikuji, so it only predicts things related to love. What do you do? Do you want to draw it?

Of course!

O-oh everyones so motivated!

Y-yeah women in love are so strong

Ryo and Shingo-kun were a little taken back in front of the exploding enthusiasm of the girls. I-its true that its a great amount of energy

However, since were here, we decided to join in as well.

Lexia-san and the others seemed a little hesitant to see the contents, so they decided to read the fortune that Ryo, Shingo-kun, and I had drawn first.

Hmm, Shokichi, huh? What is it? Since you have a good sense of humor, although you have many friends of the opposite sex, it is unlikely that you will be able to make progress beyond that point. Therefore, it is difficult for them to realize that you are interested in them, and it is important that you are able to recognize this. Its kind of specific, isnt it? [T/n: Shokichi = Slightly good luck.]

Im Chukichi Enjoy your hobbies and interests to the fullest and expand the circle of your community. You may talk passionately with other people who share your interests, but it is also important to stay cool and not get too passionate. Thats what it says [T/n: Chukichi = Medium luck.]

What can I say? I am quite surprised at the content of the omikuji, which seems to be tailored to Ryo and Shingo-kun.

Although I dont know what the two of them are actually like, I didnt think the content would be so suited to them.

I know you were surprised, werent you? The omikuji at this shrine often come true.

O-often comes true

Well, but you shouldnt worry too much about it. It is important how you feel and how you act after reading it.

Thats certainly true

While admiring Kagurazaka-sans words, I checked my omikuji too.

Lets see Eh?

The omikuji should have said Shokichi or Chukichi, but what was written on it was the symbol? a mark question symbol.

W-what is it? This is

Hmm? What is that?

I want to know about it too, though

I was so confused that Kagurazaka-san peeked into my hand, and her eyes widened at the omikuji I had drawn.

What did you do to get such incomprehensible luck?

Is it my fault?

I dont think its my fault at all

Anyway, although my fortune was ? just like Ryo and the others, there was an explanation written under it, and the content is:

What is it? This strange destiny is so complicated with various connections that I cant see whats to come but if you do well, you could be connected to all of these connections. Im curious too, so please do your best. What is it? Its like its talking to me!?

The content is a mess, and what is this omikuji?

I mean, is my connection so complicated? Is this also something to do with spiritual power?

Im curious about that too, but isnt it bad to be tied to all the connections? This is a love fortune, right? This country isnt monogamous I cant imagine myself being that way in the first place

I felt indescribable: I believed in the existence of God because of the fortune that spoke clearly to me, but I didnt really believe in the content of the fortune itself.

Well, I have met an observer, a being close to God, and it would not be surprising if God existed on this Earth.

While I was pondering the contents of my own omikuji, Rin, Yuti, and Yukine were reading the contents of the omikuji that they had drawn.

Its good luck Think about your own happiness, huh?

Medium luck. Engage with others as much as possible and learn the subtleties of the heart. Difficult to understand.

Small fortune. Be moderate in your hobbies. I think its working for me right now.

Each of them groaned in front of the omikuji as if they had their own thoughts on the subject.

And Lexia-san and the others, who are the most serious about their omikuji, have finally made up their minds and decided to read whats inside.

Lets go Eeehh! Eh?

Eehh?

I-it was like in a manga

Ah

Kaori was depressed by Ryo and Shingo-kuns impressions. D-dont mind it

While Lexia-san, Luna, and Kaori continued to fail, Kaede and Merl also tried, but both ended up failing.

N-no way

I-its strange both the force and angle of the throw should have been calculated

Merl even seemed to have done the calculations using the technology of the planet Amel, but suddenly a strong wind blew, agitating the coin and causing it to fall into the pond.

As the most motivated of them all went down, we were a little nervous, but then Yuti raised her hand and said.

Challenge. Ill give it a try.

Eh?

I was surprised that Yuti raised her hand because I thought she was not interested in this kind of event in the first place.

But when I heard what she said, I understood.

Question. Since a while ago, it seems that something has been blocking the coins with a strange force. I want to see if my technique will work.

Ah, I see.

The most likely to succeed, Luna also failed, so as a disciple of the Bow Saint, she probably wanted to test her own abilities.

In that sense, Im certainly concerned because, looking at the flow of events up to this point, I couldnt help but think that a great invisible power, like God, was affecting the small coins that were being thrown.

As everyone watched, Yuti gazed at the small island in the pond with a serious expression on her face.

And then.

Saw it. [Comet]!

Youre going to use that?

I couldnt help but raise my voice at the unexpectedly exquisite technique.

The coin was thrown with such force that it pierced through the gusts of wind that blocked the path and the twigs that flew up in the air and pierced into a small island in the pond.

Oooohhhh! A-amazing!

I-it went straight through!

N-no way!

D-did we lose?

Unlike Ryo and the others, who were excited by Yutis divine feat, Lexia-san and the others had a despairing look on their faces, like it was the end of the world. Thats how depressed they are!

I was surprised at the extreme reactions of everyone, and then Yuti came in front of me.

Show off. Yuuya, is it great?

Eh? Ah, y-yeah. That was amazing!

I see.

When I told her honestly, Yuti hid her face as if she was a little embarrassed.

Kiiiii! I wanted to be praised by Yuuya-sama too!

Mai! Is there anything else out there? Something even we could do!

Eehh? I thought you did that one just now well enough, but well, okay. Theres one last thing, and Ill take you there.

As we followed Kagurazaka-san, who had an indescribable expression on her face, we saw a magnificent tree growing there.

The size of the tree was overwhelming, but combined with the serene atmosphere of the surroundings, it seemed sacred.

This tree is called the great tree of the rim, do you see the hollow there?

Oh, its true.

I looked in the direction indicated by Kagurazaka-san, and sure enough, there was a hole just large enough for one person to pass through.

It is said that if you can go through that hole in a figure of eight, you will be blessed with the chance to be united with the person you love. It is said that it means to mesh the ties by going through in a figure of eight.'

That sounds like something we can do!

Indeed, while the previous wish involved physical ability and luck, this one seemed easy enough to do since all we had to do was go through the hole.

The hole is certainly narrow, but it seems that the girls here could at least get through it.

So Lexia-san was the first to try, and this time she succeeded in making a wish.

I did it I did it! Mai, I succeeded!

Mhm then me too!

Following Lexia-sans lead, Luna and the others also tried, and all succeeded.

I succeeded too!

I think were in the clear.

I thought it would be a relief if they all succeeded, but it didnt work out that way.

Ueeeeeee! Something got stuck, and I cant get through!

To my surprise, It was Kaede.. that, her chest got stuck in the hole, and she couldnt get through.

We boys felt uncomfortable with this situation, but the girls were in despair when they saw the reason for Kaedes failure.

S-so this is what you call a gap in strength

Its strange we should have succeeded, but why do we feel so defeated.!

Kaede, its not fair

Yeah. Kaede, its not fair.

Eeeeeeeehhhh!? Why am I being blamed for this?

Kaede must have felt terrible because even though she failed to make a wish, she was blamed by everyone.

Thus, despite all the happenings, we were able to accomplish the goal of the exorcism as originally planned.
