Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1116

It wasn't difficult to get in touch.

In less than half an hour, the God of Fate came over on his own initiative.

I brought Kasumigaoka with me to see Ara and Miketsu.

"Hey, long time no see~ Hmm? Miketsu, you've grown a little taller~"

"Yes, your divine power is slowly recovering, and so is yours."

"Because I have more and more followers!"

The God of Fate became very pleased with himself.

She used to envy Miketsu's luxurious shrine and her countless worshippers.

Now, she'll soon have it too!

Hahahaha!

"Thanks to Kyosuke, I'll treat him to tea next time."

The God of Fate praised Kyosuke Kousaka in his heart.

She no longer had any memory of Kousaka Kyosuke looking down on her.

As a tolerant and magnanimous deity.

Why would the God of Fate be so petty about anything?

"By the way, what brings you two here?" Yuanjie Shen asked proactively.

Miketsu explained, "I'm looking for Minoru. Don't you know her too? But she disappeared a few days ago, and I really can't find her."

The God of Fate opened his eyes wide.

"Xiao Ren isn't your divine messenger? You can't sense where she is either? Could it be that you made her work hard, so she deliberately cut off contact?"

Huang said, "It is very important to bring life and well-being back to the ruins that have lost their vitality, and I believe she would not be so reckless as to disregard this."

Enmusubi curled her lip in disdain: "Isn't this much responsibility too heavy for Miketsu and Minoru?"

Mikujin hurriedly shook her head.

"No! It is indeed... a bit tough, but this is my job. I will try my best to bring vitality to all the dead places and slowly dispel the despair in people's hearts—I will definitely bring happiness to people, this is my mission in Kyoto!"

Upon hearing what Miketsu said, Ara's expression turned cold.

“Gentleness and kindness do not bring happiness. In this hell on earth, only a cruel and ruthless system can guarantee temporary order. You can feel it too, can’t you? People’s thoughts are not prayers for the future, but hatred, despair, and even a desire for revenge against the status quo.”

He hoped that Miketsu wouldn't harbor any naive feelings.

Just do what a deity is supposed to do.

If you don't know how to act within your means, you will only harm yourself and many others.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't always talk to me like that, you know? You think I won't punch you? My fist the size of a rice ball?"

The God of Fate brandished his fist and gestured at Ara.

Huang's expression remained unchanged: "Being unable to see the trajectory of fate, you will never know how ignorant you are."

The God of Fate rolled his eyes.

"Do you think nothing in your destiny can be changed? Does that mean if you witness the 'end of the world,' you don't have to do anything?"

Huang's eyelids twitched slightly: "It's been a while, and you've become quite eloquent."

The God of Fate crossed his arms: "I am just that clever. Besides, what I'm saying is the truth, the truth of the world. If you don't listen, it's definitely your fault, so you should listen to me..."

A series of words were spoken continuously.

Standing humbly behind the Goddess of Union, Kasumigaoka felt increasingly uneasy.

"The god named 'Ara' is very majestic. Goddess of Bonds, is it really alright for you to continue?"

Despite having already encountered many thrilling dangers with Enmusubi in various places, Kasumigaoka can be certain that this is definitely the most dangerous one yet.

Wait a minute, this bombarding style of speaking... seems familiar?

"Will you help me find the spirit fox?"

After Enmusubi rambled on for a long time, Ara then asked a question casually.

Enmusubi scoffed, then looked at Miketsu, whose hands were flailing wildly in the air, looking completely lost.

"Come on, extend your hand. Since you can't sense Xiao Ren's location, it seems I'll have to put in a lot of effort."

"Thank you...please!"

"It's nothing, after all, it's our duty as gods."

The God of Fate speaks very casually.

That's really what I think deep down.

She was well aware that, for unknown reasons, a considerable amount of spiritual energy in Kyoto had been absorbed elsewhere.

If this continues, Kyoto, and even many places centered around Kyoto, will become a dead zone.

I can't even imagine how many people will die!

And there exists a barrier created by Miketsu.

That would definitely prevent the problem from getting worse much faster.

It seems she will have to grit her teeth and expend the precious divine power she has accumulated over a long period of time.

Oh no, is there still a chance to transform?

"That bastard always says I'm poor and stingy. I'm actually dreaming of one day transforming into a handsome guy."

The God of Fate was a little disappointed.

She's not some poor, lowly deity.

If anyone calls her a god of poverty, she'll fight them to the death!

"It's too much trouble for you. I know about divine power..."

"Hmph! Am I some kind of god who lacks divine power? Are you looking down on me?"

Upon hearing Miketsu's words, Enmusubi puffed out her cheeks and interrupted.

Huang spoke directly: "Hurry up, we can't delay any longer."

"Yes!"

Miketsu respectfully addressed Ara, no longer dwelling on the previous question.

Enmusubi's expression also gradually turned serious as she began to muster her strength to search for the spirit fox that was in contact with Miketsu.

She was immediately stunned when she took Miketsu's hand.

"Isn't it just a short distance away?"

"……Eh?"

Okami is dazed.

A quarter of an hour later.

The group arrived at the location following the instructions of the God of Fate.

"Look, isn't that the fox? She's just a little fatter than before, and you can't even recognize her?"

When Enmusubi saw Su Chang riding Miketsu's spirit fox in the distance, she didn't have time to be too surprised. What she wanted to complain about even more was that Miketsu and Ara, these two gods, didn't recognize each other because of their physical appearance.

Isn't this a case of "judging a fox by its appearance"?

—Yes, Enmusubi already guessed that Miketsu and Ara must have met the fat fox in front of them first, because it's not difficult to find the location by making contact.

"Hey! Lord Enmusubi?!"

A surprised exclamation.

Sensing the familiar aura, Su Chang got off Xiao Hui and walked towards the location of Enmusubi, Miketsu, and the others.

"Ouch——"

A wolf howl came from behind Su Chang.

Su Chang was about to look back when she saw Yu Zanjin, whose expression was gradually turning gloomy, silently taking out a bow and arrow from behind her back.

Then they aimed the arrow at... Little Gray?

"...Miss Shrine Maiden?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Sushang, I'll explain to you later. Right now, I need to teach a lesson to that ungrateful fox."

Miketsu spoke slowly, her red eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.

Behind him were mysterious talismans.

Huang retreated silently.

Enmusubi swallowed hard, waved to Sushang, and then retreated to the side with Kasumigaoka.

Su Chang herself looked completely bewildered.
