" Oshiawase ni!" The maiden selling the charm stone and some symbol of love was saying to those who were going from there.

" oshiawase ni." She finally pronounced.

" Sir , Ma'am stop there!" The tourist guide said , when they were about to enter inside the shrine.

" What does this mean?" Donna asked in her Italian ascent, be filled with amazement.

" This is called magic hammer of Okuninushi, this is supposed to sprinkle some of the god's love luck on visitors."
