"Lord Leaky! Watch out! ”

The iron being forged had an unbearable heat, and the crimson glow was a sign that I was not going to mess with such dangers.

"It's okay."

Stretching out his palm, he grabbed the piece of iron with his fingers, and a warm temperature came from Suwako's skin.

"What is this?"

Suwako had never seen anything like this at all.

"It's a metal that has only recently been made, and it has harder, sharper properties than the bronze of the past."

"Its name is [Iron]"

Suwako became interested, and she casually played with the object in front of her that was enough to burn a human, and looked at the two of them who were sweating like rain.

"Why bang it?"

For mortals, this should be quite a difficult thing to do.

"By the action of percussion, the magazine can be excluded, making it harder..."

The two men bowed their heads and replied, they didn't know very well, but it would be nice to know that they needed to do this.

Suwako smiled softly, she became intrigued by all this.

Most of them are not for this [iron], but for the human beings who forge [iron].

If she had to say anything, it was the first time that a human being, who was no different from plants and trees, had not done anything on her own under the guidance of [God].

[Iron]?

Suwako put down the unformed [iron] in her hand and turned and floated in the direction of the door.

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

The humans of the two Suwa countries got up in fear, ready to continue their work.

It's just that.

With a booming sound, the two of them turned their heads in surprise, only to see the legendary god of the Leak Arrow lightly pointing to the ground, and a seat of earth and stone rose on the ground.

Suwako jumped lightly and sat down just in time, holding her chin with one hand and shaking her hand at will.

The gaze of the two eyes was firmly fixed on the human in front of him, and [iron].

"Why don't you work anymore?"

Suwako saw the two people who had paused, and asked suspiciously.

"Even if you look at it, it's not something that can be done right away, we'll send it to the temple after we've built it."

The two replied that they would not dare to let God deign to wait here for too long.

"It doesn't matter."

Suwako tilted her head, the sluggishness in her eyes, or was it indifference? Slightly less.

"It's okay."

Squinting her eyes slightly, Suwako said with a smile.

"Let me listen to the sound of this piece of iron!"

The warm power filled the reddish hut, reflecting Suwako's smiling little face and the sound of striking iron......

Soon after, the iron tools that had been made were sent to Suwako's shrine.

It was a sword, and it was even colder and sharper than copper.

However, when Suwako picked it up, she felt a warm power slowly coming, just like the day the iron was struck.

"Is it because I'm the god of kun? Or, because of the memory of that day? ”

Suwako stroked the iron sword in her hand and poured divine power into it.

Then, the iron sword became very strong.

The strong made Suwako a little frightened, no matter what kind of god it was, it couldn't block an attack from this sword.

Whether it was the invading Yamato God or the wandering demon, no matter what the time, the iron sword never disappointed her.

Even when she encountered difficulties, she never gave up, because Suwako felt a will from the iron sword that even she could not ignore.

It's like the warmth of the iron when you made it, and it's like the faith you believed when you were worshipped.

That will accompanies her, and Suwako finally understands that every attack that swings out is not just her strength, but more like the collection of wills of all the people in the country of Suwa.

Those humans who believed in her and were blessed by her finally attached their faith to the sword and turned it into her power.

God lives because of man, and when Suwako understood the nature of this power, she felt it.

Although she had only realized it until now, [God] was born of human faith.

God makes man live, and man makes God live.

At that moment, Suwako seemed to understand the meaning of her existence.

The sword in her hand turned into a circle of protection, and a weapon unique to her was born, the iron wheel.

When the gods invaded, the iron wheel, which represents the country of Suwa, defeated all enemies.

The iron wheels of Suwa were feared by hostile gods, and the number of invading people was few.

Until, a fierce enemy arrived.

Kanako Yasaka!

After several encounters, they left each other in a tie, and both Suwako and Kanako knew that the other party would be an unprecedented challenge!

What happened next, Suwako didn't have to think about it anymore.

The time when I just met Yakumo. Maybe it's because there are too many things, she is a little negligent in the management of Suwa no Kuni, and when Kanako invades again, the iron wheel in her hand can't be as big as before.

She instantly understood that perhaps because of the success of the Yamato gods' invasion of the surrounding countries, or the disappointment of several fruitless confrontations with Kanako, the belief in Suwa no Kuni had gradually decreased.

The once sturdy iron wheels were turned into rusty scrap metal under the wind of Kanako's god, and at the same time, the weathered Suwako's heart gradually warmed.

"If I hadn't met Xiaoyun, I probably wouldn't have felt this kind of sadness now."

[God] has no heart, so it doesn't hurt.

Suwako, who woke up from her memories, saw the hut in front of her and couldn't help but slow down.

Although she has no intention of fighting because of her lack of faith, there are still human beings who believe in her from the small but endless power of faith.

In particular, the core power is not pure faith, but it can make her feel warm and different the most.

And she, on the other hand, gave up her homeland without necessarily failing.

"Am I scared?"

Suwako holds the fragment of the iron wheel, what is she afraid of? Fail? So what does it matter? Death? Never see Xiaoyun again?

"Click!"

The sound of the door opening woke Suwako, and she looked at the human in front of her in surprise.

Although she has aged a lot and exudes a decadent aura all over her body, Suwako can still see at a glance that this is one of the humans who cast iron in the first place.

"Lady Leaky?"

Suwako's footsteps paused.

"You, can you see me?"

Suwako is not surprised, and now, without the support of faith, ordinary humans are completely unable to discover her existence.

"Can't see you?!"

The surprise on the man's face, the wistful look in his eyes changed, turned into disgust.

"Why!"

Like a wild dog on the loose, the man, with red eyes, grabbed Suwako's clothes and lifted her up.

Putting aside the bonus of divine power beliefs, Suwako has the same weight and strength as her appearance.

With his mouth wide open, the man let out a hysterical cry.

"Why! Why! Why abandon us?!! ”
