The place where Suwa Myojin, the god of the Kamiya Kingdom, resides with absolute strength, is the town with the largest number of humans in the Kakuya Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, in the age when gods and monsters were rampant on the land, even the towns with the largest concentration of humans were only just reaching six figures. However, for the gods and yokai born in the Far East, the town protected by the god Suwa Myojin is almost heavenly.

Because the relationship between the gods and humans is so strong that even when other gods invaded the depths of the kingdom of Suwa and triumphantly declared their dominance, humans still trusted the gods of Suwa to drive the invaders out of the kingdom of Fuya. In response to the trust of humans, Suwa Myojin, who once displayed majestic divine power under the gaze of humans and fought off the gods of Takamagahara alone, has completely stabilized the path of coexistence with humans.

As a god, he has established a strong bond with humans because of his faith, and has been respected by humans from the bottom of their souls. But it is precisely because of the identity of the gods that the god of Suwa cannot truly get along with humans on an equal footing. All the humans living in the kingdom of Kuya will immediately bow their heads and dare not face him when they see the face of the god Suwa. Although the gods usually expect humans to be honest and faithful like animals, and to maintain reverence and distance from the gods, the Suwa Myojin, who thinks in a very different way from ordinary gods, is troubled by this.

However, in any case, the god of Suwa still has to take on the role of a god and maintain the coexistence relationship established with humans. Therefore, the fear and estrangement of human beings are also borne by the shoulders of the gods. As a god, you need to bear the responsibilities and obligations that belong to the gods, including the loneliness that belongs to the gods. However, Suwa Myojin still looks forward to the existence of a life that talks to him on an equal footing. In the long wait, the Suwa Myojin gradually relaxed the requirements, and there was no need for humans, even if it was a god, a monster, or a life from another world...

Surrounded by dense wheat and symbolizing a good harvest, two figures stand side by side in front of the empty torii gate. Among them, a girl with long hair as beautiful as a golden waterfall began to look around at the forbidden place that humans were in awe.

"Suwa Taisha Shrine... It's called Suwa Taisha, but it doesn't look like its name is so big that it surprises me. ”

Although it is known as the Suwa Taisha Shrine, it is undoubtedly the top shrine in the kingdom of Kuya. However, due to the current production capacity of human beings, the area of rice outside Suwako's residence and the ears of rice outside Suwa Taisha is actually not comparable to the area of vacant land used to grow crops in the manor where Funshin used to live.

"Hmm... What do you want to do so much, anyway, this is the abode of God that was specially prepared for me in Suwa Taisha Shrine. Shrine maidens and priests from the periphery don't come here at will, which is already very abundant for me as a god. ”

Still quite satisfied with his residence, Suwako immediately refuted Amada Rin's claim. For the gods, there is no essential difference in the size of the dwelling. It's just that the size of the shrine is usually related to the amount of faith, and the human initiative to repair and expand it has led to today's Suwa Taisha Shrine. In other words, the current Suwa Taisha Shrine is a symbol of human belief in the god of Suwa, Suwako.

After Amada Rin, who knew that he had lost his words, apologized to the god of Suwa Myojin, the god and Kirin entered the Suwa Taisha Shrine together. The moment he entered the Suwa Taisha Shrine, Rinshi Amada, who had an unusually keen sense, immediately noticed the difference between inside and outside the shrine. If the shrine dedicated to the gods is surrounded by an aura of holiness that makes demons subconsciously retreat, then inside the shrine is an absolute realm of the gods, and the gods and monsters who enter it without the permission of the Suwa Myojin can even be bounced away by the power of the shrine. The materials used to make the shrine are comparable to a fortress made of steel under the influence of the divine power that the gods unconsciously emit, so that the gods who are enshrined in the shrine are perfectly protected.

The defensive capabilities of the shrine are closely related to the strength of the gods themselves, and similarly, the shrines are the places where the gods gather their beliefs most quickly. When Suwako approached his gods, she did not entertain them in her own residence inside the shrine, but gathered them in the open space outside the shrine to talk about affairs.

Only a very small number of gods trusted by the god of Suwa or when a major event occurs can add other lives to the shrine. After all, a shrine is a symbol of the gods, and if it is destroyed from within, it will be a serious blow to the prestige and faith of the gods.

And as it is now, the situation of being received by the god of Suwa himself and leading others to the shrine without any defense is that even the shrine maidens who heard that the god of Suwa has returned to serve are stunned. The shrine maidens who serve the god of Suwa are basically selected among the human beings, and their appearance, personality, and abilities are the highest level of shrine maidens in the same period.

In order to adapt to the thinking of the gods, the priests and shrine maidens in Suwa Taisha Shrine were trained by their predecessors to get close to the noble gods and serve the gods. Entertaining other gods and humans is almost always represented by shrine maidens, and Suwa Myojin does not take the initiative to receive them. So,After seeing that his own gods would actually bring others to the shrine in person.,And I'm giving each other a detailed overview of the shrine.,The brain didn't crash on the spot thanks to the shrine maidens who are well-informed.。

"The shrine maidens of Suwako are quite cute little ones, and I can't stop saluting like timid rabbits when I touch them."

"Don't tease my shrine maidens!!"

After Amada Rin laughed for the third time and frightened the shrine maiden and hurriedly retreated, Suwako finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved her long earthy yellow sleeves again and again to show her dissatisfaction. Though...

"Molesting witches or something.,It's like... It's also fun, isn't it? ”

At this moment, all the shrine maidens who served at Suwa Shrine were all inexplicably chilling. . .

By the time the shrine maidens served tea to the gods and her newfound friends, Suwako began to talk about Rinshi Amada. An existence like Amada Rin, which even Suwa Myojin can't contend with, is not something that can be created in a short period of time, and Suwa Myojin has never known about Amada Rin. It doesn't make sense, and it also makes Suwako have a lot of questions in her heart. Not being well-known means that there is a lack of faith or fear. And the strength of the gods and yokai is directly related to the time they live, the belief or the fear of their humans. Then, Amada Rin, who broke this common sense, should never be a member of the gods or youkai in real life.

"My race ... Well, it can be said that it is a half-human, half-unicorn hybrid! ”

Without the slightest vigilance, he drank the tea offered by the shrine maidens.,The words that Amada Lin said made Suwako's heart suddenly turn upside down.。。。 (To be continued.) )
