Episode 76: The God of Poverty

"Wow!!"

Kawajo looked up at the huge concrete wall, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Remarkable. ”

Although she has also made such exaggerated super humanoids, the so-called "hydropower station" in front of her is also extraordinarily spectacular!

That's definitely not a project that can be done by one person.

"My sister, I'm impressed with you!"

She turned her head and said excitedly to Kawajo Nitori.

"Even if you compliment me, I won't be happy. ”

The girl's stomach is full of resentment, this guy has a sister on the left, and I am your sister on the right, and he completely regards himself as a junior!

It's just annoying.

"Oooh. ”

Rivercastle's attention was no longer on the girl, and she was now thinking about the purpose of the dam.

"By taking advantage of the drop in the water, you can generate a huge amount of energy! That's why it's built so tall. But if there's too much water stored on it, the lake will put a lot of pressure on it, right? There's a very high chance that it will collapse. Oh, that's right, that's why it's a structure that's narrow at the top and wide at the bottom......"

It's worthy of being a person whose ability is higher than that of Kawajo Nitori, even though it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, and I can see so many things.

"So, are you interested in joining this team that is building hydropower plants?"

"Yes, of course. ”

Not only interested, but also quite large.

It's the first time I've felt so excited about one thing!

When I make a non-thinking rule, my mood is always heavy, and I feel a sense of depression that I can't breathe. But now it's different, and the feeling of being exuding infinite vitality all over my body is really too long ago.

"That's good. ”

I smiled slightly, and it didn't exceed my expectations.

Kawajo Nitori didn't say anything, the original plan was like this, and now it's back on track!

Although it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Let's take a look at it again. ”

"Okay. ”

After almost a month of water storage, the lake has become a bit larger. At a glance, the lake is much wider than before, and there is a vague feeling of vastness.

As a result, the sandy areas on the shores of the lake have shrunk considerably, and it may not be long before they are flooded again.

It's a pity that such a nice beach!

"If you don't take the bait, if you don't take the bait, why don't you take the bait?"

Looking at the still fishing line in the water, Suwako Kuiya scratched her face for a while, scratched her head for a while, and looked very irritable.

"Okay, Suwako-sama, you're so noisy, you're going to scare the fish away!"

Holding a bamboo pole, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley is very indifferent, fishing depends on patience, too impatient but will get nothing.

"Ah, it's really annoying. ”

It seems that it is really quite irritable!

It's a pity that Suwako is not a god of water or a god in charge of fisheries, otherwise he would have ordered the fish to take the bait themselves.

"What are you two doing here?"

Sanae of Dongdongya and Suwako are so eye-catching, and they saw the two of them as soon as they came up.

"Well, it's you!"

The native gods seemed very happy to see me.

"Come, hurry up and help me fish. ”

"Fishing?"

It's not that I'm mistaken, they are indeed fishing here.

Why should I help, though?

What about Kanako Yasaka?

The three people of Shouya Shrine, how could there be one missing?

"Don't look for it, Kanako isn't here. ”

Seeing that I seemed to be looking for something, Suwako said to Miya.

"Where did she go?"

"Hibernation went. ”

The native god replied angrily.

The lazy snake, as soon as he heard that he was going to do something, immediately said that he was not feeling well and needed to rest.

Really, when the fish is caught, it is enough for her to eat the bones.

"Sanae, give me the fishing rod. ”

"Okay. ”

Suwako took the fishing rod that Sanae Toshiya gave her and unceremoniously stuffed it into my hand.

Then he clapped his hands and showed a "it's up to you for the rest" expression.

"Alas......"

I'm not here to help you fish!

"Why are you suddenly in such a good mood to come here to fish?"

Fishing is a fun activity, but it doesn't seem to be a good fit for them!

"To improve lives. ”

Moriya Shrine is very poor, and it used to be fine, with kappa and tengu offering some food and use from time to time, but now they are too busy to take care of themselves, where is there time to pay attention to them.

If you don't figure it out yourself, you'll have to eat rice with miso soup.

For carnivorous gods like Suwako and Kanako Yasaka, it's simply intolerable.

"Hmmm......"

Understood, to put it simply, they want to eat fish.

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome? If you want, just go to me and get it. ”

Everyone else did it anyway, and she wasn't one of them.

"Go, go, I don't want to owe you too much!"

Suwako waved her hand impatiently, it has always been the gods who have been gracious to mankind, how can there be a human being who gives to the gods!

"Then you don't owe me anything now?"

I raised my fishing rod and laughed playfully.

“......”

The god was choked for a moment, speechless for a long time.

After so long, there is still no movement in the fishing line, and it seems that there are no fish on the bait!

It can't be that there is no bait at all, right?

Thinking of this, I lifted the fishing rod.

On the other end of the fishing line, there is indeed something hanging from it.

"What is this?"

Looking horizontally and vertically, this black object that has been soaked in water is like a cicada that has been dead for an unknown amount of time!

"Picked it up on the road. ”

Suwako said, not noticing the man's solemn expression at all.

"You use it for fishing?"

"Can't you?"

"I don't think ordinary fish will eat anything like this!"

It can be seen that this is the first time that these two people have done such a thing!

"No wonder they didn't take the bait!"

The gods realized that they couldn't catch fish because they were using the wrong bait.

"What then?"

"Hmm. ”

I thought about it for a moment and put the bait back in the water.

"Isn't it useless?"

Seeing me doing this, Suwako Fuya was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, I naturally have a way. ”

"Oh. ”

Seeing that the other party was so confident, she didn't say anything anymore.

"Na, lord, who are they?"

Kawashiro Mitori, who finally had a chance to interject, pointed to Sanae Toshiya and Suwako Fuya, and asked quietly.

These two people gave her a strange feeling, neither like a youkai nor like a human. That unique temperament seems to have been encountered somewhere.

Well, come to think of it, Gu Ming Dijue had brought someone who felt very similar to them to meet her before.

"Oh, they, they are the gods who dwell on this mountain. ”

Focus on what you're doing, I said casually.

"Huh, God!?"

The girl couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out that these two different guys turned out to be gods!

"Ahem, exactly. ”

Suwako straightened her chest and coughed fakely.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone look like this, and the guys around them don't take them seriously as gods!

"Is this little guy too?"

Kawajo pointed at the girl, still feeling incredulous.

The green tendons on the head of the native god immediately jumped.

"Want to experience the punishment of God?"

It's disgusting to doubt her identity because of her height.

"The fish is hooked. ”

"Huh, really?"

As soon as she heard that she had caught a fish, Suwako immediately forgot about her contempt for her status.

The line, which had always been loose, had become straight, and it was as if something was dragging it hard in the water, bending the rod.

Looks pretty big!

"Hard!"

"Look at me. ”

The body pressed down slightly, clenched the bamboo pole with both hands, and then slammed the force.

"Whoa. ”

The surface of the water exploded, and a large fish almost two feet long flew into the air, its silver scales glistening in the sunlight along with the splash.

"Wow!!!!"

In everyone's amazement, the big fish fell on the sand and kept jumping.

"Caught, caught. ”

Suwako ran over with a shout of joy, but the fish was too smooth to catch it for a long time. Later, it was Sanae from Dongfeng Valley who came to help, and finally caught this guy.

Looking at the big fish that couldn't fit in the bucket, the frog god was about to close his mouth with a smile.

"How did you do that?"

She was very curious, obviously it didn't work before, why did this guy succeed as soon as he made a move?

"Secret. ”

It's my stunt, and I can't just tell anyone about it.

"Hmph, who's rare!"

Suwako bared her teeth and didn't ask the question any more.

"Sanae, you go back first. ”

"What about you, Suwako-sama?"

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley carried a heavy bucket of water, the fish in it was so big, the three of them might not be able to eat it all in a day.

"I'll go back with him later. ”

Suwako used her hands and feet at the same time, and quickly climbed onto the man's shoulder.

"That's it. ”

"Don't ride on my shoulder without saying hello!"

"To be able to have such close contact with God is an honor that no one else can dream of!"

"I'd rather not. ”

I'm entangled by this guy.,It looks like I can only go to Shouya Shrine!

"I'm going to a shrine in the mountains, do you have any plans?"

I asked River Castle.

"Hmmm......"

The girl thought for a moment and shook her head.

"I'd better stay here. ”

Although she also wanted to follow the lord, she would rather stay and visit the hydropower station.

"In that case, then it's up to you. ”

"Hmm. ”

"She'll leave it to you. ”

The qiē here is very unfamiliar to Hecheng Mitori, and it is better to have a reliable person by his side.

"I know what to do. ”

Kawashiro Katsutori nodded, and didn't say anything like "I'm not going to do it", she was really a good girl who knew the general situation.

The two River City sisters are-for-tat on the surface, but they still care about each other very much.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to work together to repair the TV at home.

"Are you done? Let's hurry up. ”

Impatient, Suwako began to knock me on the head.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first!"

"Good walk on the road. ”

The two girls bowed at the same time and said.

"Hmm. ”

After one more look at them, I left unhurriedly with Suwako on my back.

"Ask a question. ”

After walking a long way, Suwako suddenly bent down and stared into my eyes.

"Where did you find that half-demon?"

Naturally, the identity of River City couldn't hide it from her eyes, she was just a little curious, half-demons were very rare even in Gensokyo, and I didn't know where this guy met such an endangered animal.

"Picked it up. ”

I stared ahead, and my eyes didn't fluctuate.

"You're a fool to me!"

Knowing that it was impossible to ask anything from this guy's mouth for the time being, the girl was very depressed and patted the top of the other person's head a few times.

"Wait until I'm drunk, and I won't believe you don't tell the truth. ”

"Children are not allowed to drink. ”

"I bite ......"

Hmph, what a bad guy who hates it to the extreme.
