Sanae Dongfenggu is very depressed right now.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Sanae of Toshikoya is the shrine maiden of Shouya Shrine, but in fact, her existence is even more mysterious than the two gods enshrined in Shouya Shrine.

Not to mention the nominee, even the name is rarely known, and in normal times, people only see this shrine maiden during special festivals, and people generally call her Miss Sanae, whether they are affectionate or not.

Because except for Uncle Shanmen, who provides the ingredients every day, no one even knows her surname.

Although it is inevitable that an ordinary person cannot endure such an almost isolated lifestyle, Sanae is different, who is a shrine maiden who serves the gods.

And it's a shrine maiden in the literal sense of the word, who is really "serving the gods".

Unlike most shrine maidens in the world who use the will of the gods as an excuse based on speculation or whims, Sanae serves the gods as a real shrine maiden, and there are two of them.

Fortunately, although she is a god who is high above, she is surprisingly empathetic, and she never embarrass her as a shrine maiden, and not only that, but in a sense, these two gods also take on the task of "taking care" of the shrine maiden.

After all, no matter how you say it, she is still a young girl in her youth, and from a human point of view, she is still underage.

For these reasons, Sanae felt guilty that she had not only failed to do her duty as a shrine maiden, but had caused trouble for the gods she was supposed to serve.

So all along, Sanae has been very eager to do something for the two gods, even if it's a trivial matter, as long as she can help.

So on that day, the long-awaited shrine maiden Sanae finally heard from the god she served that she had received her first more formal mission-

Stay away from a human being.

You shouldn't be obsessed with the gods' orders, but this mission is too strange to look at, right?

Although Sanae was very confused about the content of the mission, she still carried out it according to the will of the gods very seriously.

She began to deliberately avoid the god-appointed human, a teenager who often returned to the shrine.

To be honest, Sanae never felt the need to avoid this human, until that day, she saw with her own eyes that the young man who was an ordinary human not long ago appeared in his body with a demonic power that could rival the great youkai.

She was amazed by the change in the other party, and she was also surprised by the foresight of her own gods.

Unlike the modern world, which is full of science, in the distant past, the so-called Great Youkai was the Calamity itself.

Their appearance is simply a nightmare for human society, and each one of them has directly or indirectly caused horrific damage to the human community.

It can even be said that in that era, onmyoji, Taoist priests, exorcists, and witches who pinned their trust on the power of the gods, these seemingly powerful existences were all products of the deformity of the development of human society!

Because if you don't resist, you will die, if you don't resist, you will be eaten, and only by fighting youkai can humans continue to survive, and these seemingly transcendent professions were born in such an environment.

Sanae is undoubtedly lucky, although she is a shrine maiden with real power, she was born in modern times, in this era of "peace".

In this era of weak spiritual power and lack of faith, she was only a teenager and was able to rely on a little power of faith to match the strength of the gods.

Of course, this is not to praise Sanae's talent, but simply because the power of faith that the gods can draw on is so rare that it makes people desperate.

However, even more desperate things are yet to come, in this world where even the gods live in a very difficult situation, there is a big monster!

And two at a time!

Seriously, neither Kanako Yasaka nor Suwako Ya is actually reluctant to show up to deal with these two uninvited youkai.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was too rampant and wantonly destroyed the Moriya Shrine, they wouldn't even want to come forward.

It's not because of how kind the hearts of the gods are, but because they can't beat it with sincerity!

If it is said that it is in the god generation, or in the past when there was enough faith, let alone two big monsters, even if there are ten of them, they dare to come out to fight.

Anyway, as long as the gods have the power of faith to worship, they will not die, and they will recover after being defeated for a while at most.

But now it's different, and the beliefs of Moriya Shrine are scarce to the point where they can be almost ignored.

If it weren't for the fact that Suwako "stole" their faith from the undisguised shrines in the present world, they would not even be able to maintain their current level.

It was in such an absolutely unfavorable situation that they had to face two big monsters, and they were two big monsters who didn't know why they were at the peak.

This should have been an impossible situation, but it just happened, and it was in front of me.

Sanae is worried, but also helpless, because since the other party has already made a move against the shrine, she has no reason to escape, and even the gods she serves have stood on the battlefield, and she has no intention of hiding alone.

But......

Why is this big monster in front of him a little different from what he imagined?

Although Sanae had never seen a big youkai, she had heard stories about the big youkai from the gods she served, and most of them had been met by the two gods in the past.

Unruly and very difficult.

This is almost the true portrayal of all big monsters, a newborn monster from childhood to maturity, after a long period of cultivation to enter the class of big monsters.

Generally, the monsters that have reached the level of big monsters are basically the overlords of the famous side.,In the past era,,Basically, there was only one big monster in a region.,The rest are just subordinate ordinary monsters.。

Big monsters don't have the concept of living in groups.,Basically, they all have their own territory.,Even if they sometimes act together.,But there will never be a situation where two big monsters rule together in a region.。

So if they fight with others, whether the other party is a demon or a human or a god, it is basically a routine, either I kill you, or I am killed by you, and there is rarely a surrender, let alone confession.

Even ordinary youkai rarely have the type of "knowing the times" before they have tried the depth, and they usually fight and then talk about it.

So Sanae really didn't understand.

The young man in front of him, who was suspected of being a tengu monster, obviously had the strength to shock them, but he chose to bow his head instead.

Is this really a big monster?

Although Sanae had a question mark in her heart, she kept a cautious way of fighting, and she kept a calm watch without the order of the god-sama.

Similarly, Suwako is also watching, but she is a god herself, so naturally she will not simply wait for instructions like Sanae, she is watching the battlefield on the other side.

She waited for the moment when Kanako Yasaka, another god at Moriya Shrine, would suppress her opponent until she saw the figure of her friend who had high hopes falling from the sky......
