Part 11: Shrine Visit 1: Anghel
Shrine Visit 1: Anghel
An interesting feature about the shrine visits is that there are two versions of the events: one with the bird pictures weve all come to love, and one with unique human character graphics, much like a more typical visual novel.
I will be showing off the humanized art, as I feel that its worth showing off the work that was put into making these character graphics.


Isnt he really Catholic, though? I hadnt expected to be invited out for something like this!
Maybe itll turn out that he lives in the shrine!


With no windows around to jump through, Anghel approached me surprisingly quietly.


Silver beings? What are those?



I see but I cant imagine Anghel going home every day to a fish store!



As I asked him this, I saw a look of pain flash across Anghels face.
The music stops.



Anghel bravely enters the shrine precincts.
I guess Ill be in for another year of having no idea what Mr. Eccentric Filipino Dove is talking about



Anghel silently rummages around in the shrine office.


Sacred bow? Shrines arent weapon shops They probably dont have anything like that.
Actually, in a shrine office, maybe


Im a person of this world too, Anghel! Just call it that from the start! And maybe next time bring me a dictionary, and have subtitles!

I went to ask the clerk at the shrine gift shop about their stock.





Anghel stands still, looking terribly shocked.
Are hamaya that popular? I dont think Ive ever bought anything from a shrine aside from charms and the occasional votive picture.





He seems relieved.
So this is what it means to rescue a soul from an eternity of painful solitude!






The music stops.
?




The sky is the same winter sky as always, and the lights from the shop windows dont look any different. Whats he talking about?



As so I spent the rest of the day listening to Anghel ramble on about whatever crazy delusions he was having. He certainly knows how to make a conversation interesting!
And so concludes Anghels shrine visit event.
