I Was Reincarnated in a Modern Day Onmyoji Family Chapter 62

Please prepare an offering from your family.

Upon hearing those words, the shrine maiden who had been waiting in the corner of the room began to move.

Glancing at the back of the room, my father received a pair of scissors and a piece of paper.

He wasnt the only one who received them. The parents of each household ca with scissors in hand to their children.

Cut your hair.

My father squatted down so as not to turn his back on the Goddess and removed my hair tie as he said so.

I wasnt particularly surprised, as I had heard about it in the pre-explanation. It seed that by offering hair that had spiritual value through Onmyodo, it showed gratitude.

Although I thought to myself, Are you really going to cut it? Hair was a material to be used at special tis and not ant as last resort.

It seed that cutting hair was also necessary in these kinds of situations.

My father used a piece of pocket paper as a saucer in his left hand and scissors in his right.

Then, he cut off my bangs. Bangs?

Snap.

The sound that reached my ears was different, but thats what it sounded like to .

I never thought hed cut my bangs so short.

I almost blurted out, Huh? in a loud voice, but I managed to suppress it because we were in front of the Goddess.

Dadwhy did you cut my bangs?

You told they were getting in the way.

Could it be that he rembered when I complained about my hair being in the way before?

He probably thought it was a good idea to choose the troubleso bangs since he wouldnt cut my hair in normal circumstances. I appreciate the sentint, and Im happy that he rembered, but to be honest, its both appreciated and botherso because my hair has grown longer recently, and I can now tie it up.

Looking around. The child to my right only cut the tips of their hair, and Sora only cut his unnoticeable hair on his neckline.

Of all things, my bangs

Judging from the length of the hair on the handkerchief, it was cut enough to expose my forehead. I, who have not cared about my hairstyle since my past life, definitely dont want a short haircut.

Is there a mirror sowhere?

Hows my hair looking?

Did that make you feel a little more refreshed?

Yes, my forehead feels very refreshed.

Lets save the complaints for when we get ho.

It cant be helped now that its been cut.

Its an offering to the Goddess, and its the right thing to offer sothing important to oneself, like ones own bangs.

With the childrens hair gathered, the priest resud the ceremony.

Once again, the priest began to pray in a low voice, and at the end of the offering, he said clearly, Let us pray.

To Goddess Chioharu no Fuai.

This is a freshly cut bangs.

Furthermore, I have included so spiritual gems in it as well.

Please accept it with.

It seems that the human body is truly the best material for Onmyojutsu.

As I included the spiritual gems, they were absorbed by the person who takes in the hair.

Since theyre seeking spiritual power by taking in the hair, I thought Id include the gems as well.

It doesnt hurt to flatter the Great Gods.

With the gratitude of the children who have received your divine protection, Goddess Chioharu no Fuai, please accept this humble token of appreciation and our prayers.

With these last long mutterings, the ceremony ended, and we heard the voice that followed.

If the explanation beforehand was correct, then the ritual is over, right?

But then, a faint light flew into my eyes.

What is this? Particles of light rising around the Goddess statue?

Before I knew it, the priest, who had just finished the ceremony and straightened his back, returned to a bowing position, bending his waist in ninety degrees, followed by the shrine maidens who were standing behind him.

As we didnt understand what was happening, the priest gave us instructions.

Assu the posture of prayer.

The adults were the first to follow the instructions, and the children followed suit after seeing them. From the tense expressions of the priest and shrine maidens, it was clear that an irregular situation had occurred.

Curiosity piqued, I remained in the posture of prayer and looked around with my eyes.

Oh, sparkles!

The children seed to have noticed the sa thing as . A girl innocently inford us that particles of light were dancing before our eyes.

Where are the sparkles?

Sora-kun raised his head in response to the girls voice. Apparently, he couldnt see the particles of light. But the particles were falling throughout the room, so there was no need to raise his head.

No, it wasnt just in this room. The light grew increasingly intense and seed to overflow. Could it have spread outside?

It was a miracle on a large scale that could not be achieved by human ans. I recognized this phenonon. In fact, I saw it regularly.

(It is the sa as the Tenkyo-jin a wave of power I had never felt in my past life. It was different from spiritual power, and it was scary.)

The unknown sensation that I had faintly felt from the Tenkyo-jin now surged forth. Both had light as their common denominator, but the strength that rode on that light was different. It was like being touched by a rushing current of power that humans couldnt handle, and it was terrifying.

This is undoubtedly the power of a Goddess.

There is no other way to explain it.

The frighteningly powerful waves of energy seed to pass by while I maintained my posture of reverence.

When I ca back to my senses, everyone except for the priest and had stood up.

What on earth was that?

Was that the miracle of Goddess Chioharu no Fuai?

I had heard the rumors, but it seems they were true. Hmm, I see.

How interesting. Truly interesting. Sora, did you rember that sensation just now?

Except for my father, the other fathers all chid in with their opinions.

The children also started talking like their parents, and the room soon beca noisy.

The priest, who had slowly stood up, changed the situation.

We have been blessed. For a while, this whole area will beco a Holy Site equivalent to a ward. You have all received a small part of this blessing. When you are blessed with good fortune, do not forget to show your gratitude to Goddess Chioharu no Fuai.

The fathers excitent could not be contained with a simple explanation, and they bombarded the priest with nurous questions.

Eventually, I understood the answers that ca back to in my own way

Originally, it was a ritual to set up a ward on the shrine grounds. It also has the effect of warding off bad luck for children.Although it was a ritual that also used hair, it was not originally this powerful.Rarely in history, there have been offerings returned by the gods. This is probably that.Everyone should be honored to have received the blessing of the Goddess in the aftermath. Please keep your faith.They cannot show the shrines records.Its impossible to recreate it.If they try to reveal any more of the mystery, they will anger the Goddess.

The research-minded father was questioning and provoking the anger of the Shinto priest.

There is a slight inkling in about this miracle.

However, that power did not co from the spiritual gems.

Perhaps, the Goddess who was satisfied with the spiritual gems essences provided us with this service.

It takes a lot of work to make those.

When you leave, we will give you amulets and thousand-year-old candies.

Guided by the shrine maiden, we exited.

The four parent-child pairs were happy to have received blessings for their Shichi-Go-San prayers.

Kyobe-dono, please wait a mont.

As we were about to leave the room, the priest called out to us.

The room that had been a sea of light until just now was once again shrouded in darkness, and a suspicious atmosphere hung in the air.

There is probably sothing other than the miracle from earlier.

In addition to the atmosphere of the room, I was also nervous inside because I had a hunch of what was going on.

Its the first miracle in about 300 years. That year, it seems that soone from the Kyobe family also ca for Shichi-Go-San prayers Is the Kyobe family loved by the heavens?

Wow, he is already probing. The Shinto priest is showing a calm face, but he is being very assertive.

But seeing this kind of maneuvering firsthand makes a little excited.

I have not forgotten my gratitude towards Tomiku-sama for all her kindness. However, there is nothing that I am doing to receive her favor.

I see Please co to visit us anyti for worship. We are looking forward to it.

After that aningful conversation, we finally left the Heiden.

That was amazing.

yeah.

Perhaps he wanted to ask if I had done sothing, but I didnt know who was listening here.

Lets talk about it after we get ho.

When we left the Heiden, Mother and Yuya greeted us.

How was the prayer Hijiri, what happened to your bangs?

Dad did it.

Big brothers hair looks weird!

Thats right, I wanted to talk to Dad about this matter too.

I had forgotten about it for so reason, but I had to take a commorative photo at the Shrine with my bangs snapped, wearing a well-prepared kimono prepared by the photo studio.
