Alright, we got any priests here? Tanyuu says we need one.

[There’s a lot more he could say here, like the fact that they’re specifically looking for a Shinto priest, and that they need one so Reira can experience a proper shichi-go-san festival, and that he suggested that maybe it didn’t really matter since it’s all symbolic anyway, and Tanyuu didn’t seem to like that suggestion.

But none of that has occurred to him, so here we are.]

Hahaha! I guess we don't really have a shinto priest or anything... maaa, if only Kamiki were here. She has miko training!!

I don't even remember my shichi-go-san... Obviously, I was really little. Was that one of the times that Yukio got separated from me and Dad at the temple and cried? Maybe Yukio remembers!!

Anyway... I don't think it's super important to have a priest. As long as she gets to wear a cute yukata and get some candy.

Nii-san!! [NOT OKAY BRO]

Whaaaat! I was just saying I didn't remember! Maybe that was the time where we found you by the inari statue...? It's a pretty vivid memory, I just don't know if that was the right time.

[reflash]

That's not something you should be telling the entire Carnival about.

Ahhh....! Sorry, I was just thinking outloud, I guess! My bad...

[dontpokethat]

Ah, that's too bad. [About probably not having a priest or about Yukio getting separated and crying? Who knows. Maybe both.]

Right, that's about what I figured. If we can't find someone, I'll try again to see if Tanyuu would be willing to just... simplify it a little.

If she needs some convincing, I can help! She can't say no to a poor blind boy. [using his new disability as leverage??? he has no shame!!]

[Holy shit Rin. Ginko can't keep from letting out an amused snort.]

Maybe that's the problem; just needed someone with one less eye and fifteen fewer years to do the talking.
