Episode 133 Gods?

The silvery-white water rushed down from the top of the high mountain, into the pool below, and then through a clearing and into the dense woods.

Unexpectedly, as I walked, I came to a waterfall.

The sun's rays shone directly on the hazy mist, reflecting a seven-colored rainbow.

Hey, direct sunlight?

I looked up at the sky, and it was just now, and I had been wandering around here for a long time before I knew it.

"Well, let's take a break!"

It's a nice view, and it's a good place to stop.

I looked at the fish swimming leisurely in the clear water of the river and smiled slightly......

Moving over a large rock, I sat down facing the fire, on which a few skewers of grilled fish were sizzling and smelling enticing.

"This place is really nice! ”

I looked at the mountains in the distance and thought.

Well, I wonder what they're doing now?

an hour ago.

"Okay, that's all for the morning class, let's go home for dinner first, and get out of class. ”

Shang Bai Ze Huiyin put away the books and said to the students.

"Goodbye, teacher. ”

A group of children bowed to her, then quickly dispersed, leaving only the Cirno and the others.

"You guys, come here. ”

Kamihakuzawa Huiyin beckoned to them.

"What's the matter? Sister Huiyin. ”

"I've already told Lord Dongfang, you don't have to go back at noon, just stay here for dinner. ”

"Really?

Hearing that there was no need to run around, a few imps immediately became happy.

"Fran-chan, let's go out and play. ”

After sitting in the classroom for a long time, Kiruno already wanted to run out for a walk.

"Good. ”

"Don't play too long! ”

"Got it!"

In a blink of an eye, Kirino slipped away, but Mistia and Liglu stayed.

"Hey, aren't you two going to play together?"

"No, we're going to stay and help the teacher. ”

"Oh, what a good boy. ”

Kamibai Zehuiyin happily touched the heads of the two of them.

"That's right, there are so many of you, I really can't do it alone, and it's even better to have your help. ”

"Lord Dongfang would definitely be very happy to know that you are so sensible. ”

Shirasawa Huiyin's words suddenly made Mistia and Liglie's face redden.

"Alright, let's go make lunch. Suddenly there are a few more of you, and I don't know if there is enough rice. ”

Kamihakuzawa Huiyin muttered as she and Misty walked towards the kitchen.

－－－－－－

The "crackling" sound of burning wood brought me back to my senses.

Well, it looks like an uninvited guest is coming.

"Oh, it's finally good. ”

Picking up a skewer of grilled yellow and charred fish, I was not afraid of being hot, so I opened my mouth and bit down on one.

"Well, it tastes good, it's just a little lighter. ”

I took out some salt and sprinkled it on top.

"Hah, it's so much better now. ”

Seeing that I was eating here with relish, the people who came finally couldn't bear it anymore.

On the other side of the fire, something strange suddenly emerged from the ground.

It was a very strange thing, round in shape, and it looked like a hat, but on top of it were two things that looked like eyes, staring intently at the grilled fish on the fire.

"Do you want to eat?"

I picked up a string of fish and handed it over.

"Ahh

The eyes on the hat blinked, and suddenly they burst out, and the skewer of grilled fish in my hand disappeared in an instant.

"Hehehe, what an interesting hat monster!"

I couldn't help but laugh at the hat that kept squirming as if it was chewing food.

"It's not. ”

A childish voice suddenly came out of the hat, but it didn't sound very clear.

"Oh, it's still a talking youkai!"

"I don't say so. ”

The hat pulled up a corner, and several fish bones flew out of it.

"I'm not a monster, I'm a god. ”

This time, I heard much more clearly.

"The gods, the gods of hats?"

"No, no, no, completely wrong. ”

A pair of eyes on the hat widened, as if they were quite dissatisfied with my words.

"Really, the human imagination is so poor. ”

The hat was gone, and then a little girl emerged from the ground.

She had short blond hair, a blue coat with frog patterns, and the strange hat she had just seen on her head.

"See, that's who I am. ”

The little girl who was squatting on the ground in a strange position said to me with great vigour.

"Oh......"

It dawned on me.

"What a hand! He can go from a hat to a man. ”

"Ah, I can't stand it!"

The little girl cried out with her head covered, and the eyes on her hat were rolling around.

"I repeat, I, Suwako Tsuya, am not a hat god, let alone a hat youkai, but the leader of the eight million gods in this mountain of monsters, the great indigenous god. ”

Suwako stood up, and her expression became very serious.

"Do you understand?"

"Well, are you really a god?"

Suwako nodded.

I looked her up and down and shook my head disapprovingly.

"When did God become so worthless that he could even be a little ghost. ”

"You, you, you......"

Suwako was about to be blown up suddenly, and the green tendons on her head kept jumping, and she pointed at me, gasping for a while, before she finally calmed down.

"If it had been before, you would have died 10,000 times. ”

"Do you want to eat fish?"

I handed Suwako Kuiya a string of fish again, as if I didn't see her anger at all.

"Don't. ”

Suwako sat down across from me in a huff.

"Really, of all the people I've met, you're the one with the worst attitude, don't you have the fear of God?"

"Not at all. ”

I said lightly.

"Huh, why?"

Suwako Fuiya thought it strange that even in a world where most people no longer believe in gods, they dare not say that they have no fear of gods.

"Because they don't deserve it. ”

I looked down at the fire, stopped talking, and my face turned cold.

"Did something happen?"

Suwako's curiosity was piqued.

"It's nothing, it's just some old things that you can't forget. ”

I shook my head, not intending to continue.

"Anyway, I won't sue anyone else. ”

The more I was like this, the more interested Suwako Miya became.

"Moreover, there are some things that cannot be kept in the stomach all the time, and it is better to say them. ”

"Well, that makes sense. ”

I stared at the sky for a long time before I lowered my head and said, "Forget it, I still won't say it." ”

Suwako felt that she was about to vomit blood, and she looked forward to it for a long time, but the other party still didn't want to say it.

"You're a terrible man. ”

"Do you really want to know that much?"

I looked at her and asked.

"I really want to. ”

Suwako nodded a few times.

"Oh, well!"

I let out a long sigh, and my whole body became a little gloomy.

"When I was very young, my parents left my sister and me and ran away. Since childhood, my sister and I have been dependent on each other, and in my eyes, she is my qiē. He was a really nice kid, kind, lovable, and very attached to me. It's because of her that I've been able to persevere......"

I talked about my past with a nonchalant expression, and listened quietly as Suwako hugged her knees.

"After that, I never believed in any god again. ”

It was a long time before I was done.

"Ahh ”

I don't know when I moved to the side of me, Suwako Miya, who burst into tears and said in a choked voice.

"I'm sorry to remind you of such a sad past. ”

She wiped tears from her face and bowed apologetically to me.

"It's okay, it's been so long, and the injuries from the past are almost healed!"

I smiled bitterly at Suwako and made her feel even more sorry.

"I see, no wonder you hate God so much!"

Suwako sighed, it was normal for someone to resent the gods after such an experience.

"Well, by the way, what is the name of the god you used to believe in?"

"Cupid. ”

"Cupid, I haven't heard of it, it must be a god with little power! That's why I can't respond to your request. If it were me, that would never have happened. ”

"Perhaps!"

I was noncommittal about her words.

Seeing that the grilled fish had also been eaten, I stretched and stood up.

"Alright, you've had enough to eat, it's time to go. ”

"Well, where are you going?"

"I don't know, it's my first time here, and I don't have any destinations. ”

"Ahh ”

Suwako's eyes rolled.

"Why don't you go to my house!"

"Where is your home?"

"It's close. ”

Suwako pointed to the mountain behind her.

"My house is on top of a hill. ”

"Well, that's fine, then I'll take the liberty of disturbing the door. ”

I thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Come with me. ”

Suwako turned around and jumped forward.

"Hey, don't you think it's strange that the gods have a home?"

"yes, why?"

"Secret. ”

“......”

I walked with Suwako for a long time, and I finally couldn't help it.

"Well, are you a frog god?"

"No, didn't I say it earlier? I'm an indigenous god!"

Suwako Kushiya stopped and looked at me suspiciously, not understanding why I said that.

"Then why are you jumping around like a frog and not feeling shy?"

"Frogs are bad? I like frogs the most. ”

Suwako said angrily, she seems to think that I am biased against frogs.

"Then you don't need to learn them! Wouldn't it be more comfortable to walk standing like me?"

"No, I like to walk like this. ”

"But that's too slow, you might as well sneak under the ground like you did. ”

"Well, it's not good, I'll be too fast that I'll leave you behind all at once. ”

"That's not good, that's not good, do you want me to carry you behind your back? Well, what are you looking at me for?"

Seeing Suwako staring at me fixedly, my brow furrowed.

"You don't really want to do that, do you?"

Suwako didn't speak, just a smile on her face.

"Fight the snake with the guy on the stick. ”

I was immediately discouraged and squatted down helplessly.

"Don't be reluctant, being able to carry God is also a merit that others can't ask for!"

Suwako unceremoniously leaned on my back, and the landlord grabbed my neck.

"Make no mistake, I'm doing this because you're a little ghost and have nothing to do with gods or anything. ”

"Who do you say is the little ghost?"

"Whoever else but you, those guys in my family are heavier than you. ”

"Damn, I'm angry. I bite, woo, it hurts, is your head made of iron? ”

"Don't get saliva on my head. ”

－－－－－－

Following Suwako's instructions, I finally came to the bottom of a long stone staircase.

I looked up and looked at the other end of the stone steps.

There is a tall torii gate erected there, and from a distance, you can faintly see the words written on the plaque in the middle.

"Moriya Shrine. ”
