The matter of the drunken boy was not taken too seriously by the group, after all, according to Yuki Akabane, since this guy was buried in the first time with his head cut off and buried in the Shouzuka Daming Shrine, there has never been any huge storm.

The terrifying Homo erectus is like a saint warrior, unless it can suddenly unleash some new moves, it is impossible to escape the sealing technique that has been carefully honed and iterated for it for hundreds of years, and each such attempt will further drain the power of the Great Youkai until it is completely destroyed.

From this point of view, the representatives of the various families gathered at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine may be more important than the annual gathering.

"There will be dinner here in the evening, so it's okay if you want to go out, but it's best to come back before late at night, because there's an interesting show after the party, so don't miss it."

Miss Miko said that she needed to deal with business matters, and left after leaving such a notice.

“…… Did these priests and shrine maidens run out of Phantom Village? ”

Li Wu looked at the others who were already packing their things, "What should we do?" ”

"It's rare to travel, of course, to eat out!"

"Gion Shijo Station—it's here."

So under the call of Hoshikawa Aoi, they have stood on the busy street in a blink of an eye.

"To be honest, I still prefer to stay at that ...... Should it be called the Sato World or a Shrine of Another Dimension? ”

Naturally, the one who spoke was Mao Shiratori, who was excited to see the supernatural again.

"And the Uga Soul God is still the god in charge of grain and food, so maybe the food they cook will be delicious?"

"It's not convincing to say something like that with soy sauce balls."

Li Wu pointed to her mouth, and Shiratori Mao subconsciously stretched out a small tip of her tongue and gently brushed the sauce from her lips.

When she was done, she felt embarrassed and took a few steps back, pushing her glasses to block her vision.

A short walk from the station is Ponto-cho, which runs parallel to the Kamogawa River, and the river turns black at night, creating a bustling townscape on the shore.

"If you perform publicly here, you'll make a lot of money."

"Please don't say such a terrible thing!"

Hikari is still thinking about her recent dream of being a band, but before she can help Arisa overcome her weaknesses, she is still a long way from realizing her dream.

As they passed a barbecue restaurant, they both paused in unison.

"Why don't you eat it here?"

Hoshikawa Aoi proposed, but neither Hikaru nor Arisa had a mouth.

Shiratori Mao, who had grown accustomed to falling at the end of the line because of his physical abilities, let out a lament from the bottom of his heart and set his eyes on the left hand of the magical girl.

I don't know if it was from getting off the train or walking along the river, the two hands quietly clasped together, as if they were practicing to become proficient from jerky, and the fingers belonging to women were restless and shyly entangled between each other's fingers.

Under the cover of night, neither Hikaru nor Arisa, who were walking in the forefront, noticed that this was happening—or tacitly pretended not to notice.

But now, it's like a civilization hidden in the dark forest jumping out and shouting that the Lord is on the third planet of the solar system in the third cantilever of the galaxy, and look at the two - it would be too bullying to continue to ignore it.

"I think it's good, too, and everyone should be hungry."

At the critical moment, Shiratori Maki stood up.

The atmosphere that was almost frozen was smoothly broken, she glanced at Li Wu with some resentment, and took the lead in stepping into the store.

As the president, I have done so much for this family!

Mai Shiratori quickly snorted at the idea that popped up suddenly.

"Actually, when it comes to the existence of the Inari God, I've always had a doubt."

Faced with the sizzling of barbecue meat and the golden grease pressed by iron clamps, the elder once again mentioned the deity enshrined at the Inari Taisha Shrine where they were staying today.

"I've seen that the Inari God refers to the Imperial Soul God of Uga, but it seems that there are also general terms for the God of Ceres and the God of Food, including the gods of Yuzujin and Dayi Dubimai, may I ask Li Wujun, who is the most interested in this aspect, what is going on?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with either statement."

Li Wu swallowed the roast beef that was divided by Hoshikawa Aoi, "The Imperial Cuisine Tsu God, the Kuradao Soul Life, etc. were originally another name for the Imperial Soul God of Uga, and the Dayi Dou Bi Selling, or the Preservation God of Food, was worshipped as the origin of food, considering the repetitiveness of their priesthood, maybe these Inari Gods were actually essentially the same existence?" ”

He had actually seen the existence of a god seriously, that is, the headless horseman Durahan from the Celtic mythological worldview, who was suspected to be both the messenger of Krulenos and his incarnation, so he made such a speculation.

"However, isn't the god of food being killed by Susanoo or Moonnight Mizun in mythology?"

Shiratori Mao complained.

This god is considered to be an extremely unlucky existence throughout the myths and legends of human civilization, and his story can be summarized briefly by giving a banquet to the visiting leader, and the food used comes from his mouth and ...... The delicacies of the mountains and the sea that come out of an indecent part of the back of the body.

To be reasonable, as the god of food, it is difficult to say that he has bad intentions to give everyone a membership-based restaurant, but the leader was still furious and stabbed him to death on the spot, and his body turned into cows, horses, rice, wheat and other food.

What's even more tragic is that the hand of which leader moves is an unsolved case, in "Sakurajima Shoki" it was the moon god Tsukiyomi who killed him, and in "Kojiki" it became the hand of Susanoo, who was the younger brother of the former.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem for the gods, you see, isn't the Uga Soul God the child of Susanoo and the goddess Oichi?"

Li Wu began to flicker with a flash of inspiration, "It's like the goddess Athena in Greek mythology, and its prototype is probably a mixture of the Egyptian goddess of war, hunting and textiles, Kate, and the female god of war of several Near Eastern countries such as the Hittite civilization - the Greek historian Herodotus believes that Knight and Athena are the same god." ”

"As a result, after being absorbed by the worldview of Greek mythology, she became the daughter of the god-king Zeus, and is considered a symbol of the victory of the patriarchal god over and the suppression of the matriarchal god - is there a resemblance to the child of Susanoo, the god in charge of food after the god of food was killed?"

Mythology also reflects reality to some extent, otherwise he would not have been able to summon the Headless Horseman according to Celtic legends, perhaps the existence of these gods and monsters has a certain similarity - both are closely related to the change of consciousness of human civilization.

Such thoughts disappeared in a flash, and what was originally just a concluding conclusion was about to convince him.

"In other words, there is only one truth, the God of Food and the Soul God of Uga are originally the same god, and the real murderer who killed the God of Food is Susanoo!"

He nodded in satisfaction at his reasoning.

"It's hot!"

"While Li Jun is not paying attention, I will accept this piece of meat!"

"Xiao Wu, eating more vegetables is good for your health."

…… There is no sense of accomplishment that is impossible to unravel the truth at all.
