Things have not been going well lately.
This cycle happens once or twice a year.
Twice in the past week, I've found that all the toilet paper in public restrooms has been removed, including spare rolls.
Both times I didn't have any pocket tissues with me, so I had no choice.
Open the door a little,
While making sure there are no people around,
He secretly moved to the next private room and was unharmed.
Three times in one week, I was on stage and was approached by members of the audience while I was shaking my pillow.
I guess it's my fault for giving off an atmosphere that makes it seem like it's okay to talk to her,
That's just so hard to do.
"keep it up!"
I'll do my best even if I'm not told to.
I'm getting paid.
"Give it!"
I know.
It's written in large letters on the flip side.
"Awesome!"
I didn't hear you!
Above all!
It would be nice if I could evade it well,
When I come across someone who tries to continue talking, I feel like saying, "Someone please take over."
And because no one takes my place, I feel like crying.
I thought this was no good so I went.
Ise Shrine.
At times like these, all you can do is pray to God.
Of course, I visited both the Outer Shrine and the Inner Shrine.
When we arrived at the Geku, the atmosphere was quite ostentatious.
Approximately 30 men were wearing beige security uniforms bearing the chrysanthemum crest.
I asked one of them if there was something wrong,
It is said that the visit was in preparation for Prince Akishino's overseas travel.
I see.
I wondered where he was going, so I checked my smartphone and sure enough, it came up.
"Prince Akishino arrives safely in Vietnam"
Hmm... "Arrived"?
Aren't you going to Ise Shrine soon?
When I asked him,
"Actually, this kind of thing happens quite often, so this time too, someone will be visiting on your behalf."
That's what they say.
no,
Isn't it getting too much of a hassle now?
I thought that, but couldn't say it.
Since I had the chance, I decided to take a look at the representatives.
Guards stood around the approach to the shrine,
Temporarily stopping other worshippers.
At last the group arrived.
The person dressed most well, probably the substitute, was one step behind the leader.
In terms of position, he is an attacking midfielder.
Shinji Kagawa's position.
There were two other people wearing the same black suits on either side of him, and behind him.
It is surrounded by people in beige.
In terms of formation,
It's a double defensive midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
This is also a strong defensive position in soccer.
As a soccer fan, this is a formation that I can't get enough of.
In fact, you will be able to see a rarer sight than Prince Akishino, which will increase your benefits.
After that, I offered 50,000 yen (just kidding) as an offering to each of the gods enshrined at Ise Shrine and paid my respects.
We visited all the so-called "power spots",
I paid 50,000 yen for the 1,500 yen note and told them I didn't need any change (I lied).
And the benefits were immediate.
I'm nearly done writing this column.
I can tell that I am filled with energy.
Just now, I was able to unlock my smartphone's passcode in one go even though my hands were wet.
There is no doubt about it.
I think I am the most powerful Rakugo performer in the East right now.
If I meet you out there, I'll shake your hand, give you a piggyback ride, or whatever, and share my energy with you.
When you do, don't forget to bring some coins as an offering.
