"Did Oni-chan think of something impolite?" Alisa stared at Ryuji non-stop.
"How could it be?" Ryuji didn't change his expression.
Even though he was wondering if Alisa might be yuri or something.
"Is it true? My intuition in this area is extremely accurate!" Alisa smiled proudly.
Eli pulled her younger sister and said to Ryuji: "Let's go worship first, although I don't know why there are so few people now, but it's just right for us!"
Ryuji nodded "Then let's go."
As space for the worship platforms is limited, only five people can go up at a time, and the women are at odds about their position.
"You guys can compete with anything!" Ryuji said helplessly.
Luckily, this time the competition for places was being fought with rock paper scissors, which were far more 'gentle' than the way Jeanne Alter and Tamamo used just now.
"This is just worship, there's no need to do such troublesome things," Yukino said.
"That's what you're saying, but Yukinoshita-san is also the tsundere type." Megumi comments on Yukino still participating in the rock paper scissors game.
"Should I pay my respects to Ryuji-kun, I can't miss that!" Kotori said not to be outdone.
"Umi-chan, us too!"
"W-Why would I want to do such a boring thing!" Umi blushed and half pushed.
As a result, the rock paper scissors contest begins.
Ryuji hid his face, this kind of embarrassment was almost like a public execution!
After a few moments of rock paper scissors, the last four candidates who could worship together with Ryuji were chosen.
Tamamo, Yukino, Kotori and Marie.
"Master, let's make a wish to be together for life!"
Tamamo held Ryuji's arm in front of her, and said with a happy face.
"...It won't work if you say your wish. Is it really useful for you to make a wish?" Ryuji complained.
"The love between Master and I can even move Amaterasu!"
"No, I said there's no point in making a wish for yourself!" Ryuji vaguely remembered that Tamamo also had the divinity Amaterasu.
Regarding Ryuji's complaint, Tamamo selectively ignored it. She made a wish for 'herself'.
"I hope I can serve Master forever… Also, I hope the hateful thieving cat will disappear!"
An undisguised wish, this was Tamamo's 'truth'… It would have been better if she hadn't said it when making the wish.
"Japanese culture? It seems very interesting." Marie looked interested.
Although there are New Year activities in France, they are not as lively as here.
"In order to prevent you from becoming like that girl over there, let me remind you that when you make a wish, you just have to say it silently," Yukino said.
"I see, thank you Yukino-chan." Marie smiled and thanked Yukino.
Everyone starts making wishes.
Ryuji has no particular wish. No, it had to be said that even if he wished to the gods, his wish would not come true.
He now only hopes that his ordinary daily life can continue as much as possible.
Ryuji and the others stepped back from the prayer platform, and the others replaced them.
Ryuji looked at Jeanne Alter who was holding her chest with both hands, and asked, "Won't Jeane make a wish?"
Jeanne Alter looked at him like an idiot, and said disdainfully, "God? Do you think I still believe in that sort of thing?"
Unlike Jeanne D'Arc, who was attached to the gods until the last moment of her life, Jeanne Alter hated the existence of gods from the depths of her soul.
Let her make a wish to the despised god? How could that be!
Ryuji's cell phone rang, and Sagiri who was at home called.
"Onii-chan, let me pay my respects too!"
Sagiri and Ryuji were on a video call, and the little sister at home was wearing a cute yukata.
Ryuji said with a smile: "If you make a wish to the god in front of the screen, you may be punished."
"Impossible!" Sagiri on the screen shouted.
Because of Sagiri's request, Ryuji had to return to the prayer stage again and let Sagiri make a wish.
"I wish to be Onii-chan's bride!" Sagiri silently made a request in her heart.
But since the object of her wish is the goddess Inari, this wish might not come true.
"Everyone's wish has been fulfilled." Looking at the girls who returned, Ryuji asked.
"En, more or less." Maki fiddled with the ends of her hair.
"Maki-chan's wish must have something to do with Senpai!" Rin said.
"No!" Maki immediately blushed.
Tamamo instinctively smells a thieving cat, and is wary of the new character, Maki.
