I could get to the shrine without accident, and prayed for happiness and good health for the year.
After that, I found an interesting woman while I was choosing some lucky charms.
She was a middle aged woman and was complaining to a shrine man about the effect of lucky charms, telling that even though she had bought lucky charms last year, one of her aunts had died and her brother had broken his shoulder bone.
She seemed furious. Did she think that PL Law applied to the lucky charms?
I was so curious that I watched what would happen next.
Her complaining clearly perplexed the shrine man, but he explained to her that holding lucky charms would't guarantee not to invite misfortunes.
And what interested me was that he often glanced at me, saying so.
He might think that I also had the same complaining to them. If so, he might try to tell me the same thing.
Come on, man! I'm not such unreasonable!
Anyway, the middle aged woman bought other charms after listening to his explanation, and went home.
I was relieved to see that they had a happy ending!
