I have no regrets about my 2D world!

After all, who knows that the Shinto shrine, which has been passed down for such a long time, will not have any way to control the sword of Ame Murakumo?

Those people were just curious, not looking for death.

The lights of the shrine have gone out, and Luo Bai plans to take the sword of Ame no Murakumo, but...

Before Luo Bai could make a move, a tiny crack suddenly appeared next to the Ame no Murakumo sword, and then a white arm stretched out from the crack.

Chapter 18 The Well-informed Little Girl

As he watched the thin arm take away the sword of Ama-no-Kurokumo and retract into the crack, Luo Bai's figure also disappeared.

The other side of the crack.

A little blonde girl looked at the strangely shaped sword in her hand, gripped the hilt and waved it casually, then showed a look of disgust.

"What? I thought the Ame-no-Kurosakumo sword those guys were talking about was so powerful, but it's just an ordinary sword. It even made me run here in fear.

Although this sword is useless, as a reward for being deceived, I will keep it as a collection."

The little girl muttered a few words to herself and wanted to put the sword away, but when she used her ability to open a space crack, she found that the sword did not move at all.

"Huh? Why can't it fit in? Is it just us who can put it in by holding it?"

The little girl looked at the sword in her hand in confusion, and became interested. She walked towards the crack with the sword in her hand.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the surroundings.

"No, this sword is still useful to me, so I can't let you take it away now."

Hearing the soft words in her ears, the little girl's face suddenly changed, and the summoned crack instantly expanded to cover her, and then the crack and the little girl's figure disappeared together.

"But you can't escape like this..."

In an unknown space somewhere, the little girl patted her undeveloped flat chest and let out a breath.

"Phew, I was so scared. Whose voice was that just now? I didn't even notice it.

But since such a powerful person needs this sword, it must be something special. It's time to study it."

Looking at the strangely shaped sword in her hand, the little girl's face showed joy.

This space was the place she had controlled since her birth. From her birth till now, no one or other monster had ever been able to find it, so even if the owner of the voice just now was stronger than her, she didn't think the other party could find it.

This is only possible unless the other party has the same ability as her and is even stronger than her.

But she has been around for such a long time, and I have never heard of anyone with the same abilities as her, so it is impossible for her to be found~.

So, the little girl, who thought she was safe, began to play with the sword in her hand, trying to find out what was different.

"I don't see what's so powerful about this thing? Maybe it requires a special method?

It is said that this sword was used by Susanoo to kill the Yamata no Orochi. Does it require the power of gods or monsters to activate it?

But we are not sure whether this thing will cause any harm to us?"

The little girl's face showed hesitation, but she finally gritted her teeth and made a decision, injecting her own energy into the sword.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can just throw it away. There are people looking for it outside anyway, so throwing it away will be less dangerous.

If it succeeds, even better, we'll have an extra weapon."

As the little girl injected a bit of energy, the sword of Ama-Kume suddenly shone brightly, and a majestic aura from an ancient time came over.

Looking at the shining sword of Ame-no-Murakumo floating in front of her, the little girl couldn't help but twitch her lips.

It was successful, but a little too successful.

The aura suppressed her body so much that she couldn't move at all. If she wasn't the only one around, she would have probably run away.

What should I do now? I am suppressed and cannot move at all. Do I really have to leave like this?

But this thing is so powerful, it’s a bit hard to bear to give it up.

Wait a little longer, if I really can't adapt, then forget it. Although I need powerful weapons now, I can't do it if I can't control them.

Although her body was restrained, the little girl's mind was extremely active, and she was still constantly planning how to get the sword into her pocket.

But just as she was calculating in her mind, the breath that was suppressing her suddenly disappeared.

A hand appeared next to the sword of Ame Murakumo at some point, and it shook hers in front of her shocked eyes, and the surrounding aura disappeared.

But what shocked the little girl was not just this, because she found that even though the breath had disappeared, she still couldn't do anything.

Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility. This person who appeared inexplicably before my eyes? Is he the culprit behind all this!

With a thought, the little girl wanted to use her ability to escape from here, but no matter how she used it, that innate ability seemed to have disappeared, and there was no response to her commands.

Seeing the male creature in front of her smiling and walking towards her, the little girl finally felt panic in her heart.

She had seen what the male monsters did to the female monsters who could not resist. Looking at the expressions of those female monsters, she could tell that they were in great pain. Could it be that it would be her turn today?

No......

Looking at the sword of Ame no Murakumo in his hand, Luo Bai recalled what appeared in his mind the moment he held it.

It seems like... a shrine.

Shiya Shrine?

It seems to have changed a bit.

But it doesn’t matter. Now that I have found a position, it will be much easier to find another one.

Recovering his thoughts, Luo Bai looked at the little blonde girl who was trapped in front of him, chuckled and walked over.

Then he rubbed the little girl's head while she looked hopeless and a little panicked.

There was a moment of confusion in the little girl's eyes, but she quickly regained consciousness.

He must have wanted to deliberately see me panic, then pretend to let me go by accident, and then easily catch up with me and do this or that to me!

Yes, it must be so!

She had seen many such situations. If it weren't for her special abilities, she would have ended up like those female monsters.

Unfortunately, the ability she was so proud of is no longer usable.

So he should pretend to let me go by accident, right?

The little girl thought so in her heart and tried to move her body, but she still couldn't move.

Seeing the little girl's series of reactions and changes in her eyes, Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"As expected, you are cuter now, but unfortunately I am in a hurry, so I can't play with you for the time being.

By the way, this sword is a gift for you. If you encounter any danger or see anything interesting in the future, you can call me while facing this sword. I will be there anytime.

My name is Bai, you can call me that too. Well, goodbye, Xiao Zi."

After ruffling Xiao Zi's smooth golden hair again, Bai's figure disappeared from the spot.

The girl named Xiao Zi who stayed in this space was indeed standing there in a daze.

Why does he know my name? What is my current self? And why can he enter here at will? Can I call him when I'm in danger? Bai?

Looking at the sword of Ame-no-Murakumo floating in front of her, Xiao Zi's eyes were filled with confusion for a long time.

Chapter 19 Kanako's Complaint

After leaving that space, Luo Bai casually made a sword of Ame no Murakumo and put it back into the shrine. After all, it was just bones from the Yamata no Orochi, so it was not difficult to create one casually.

Then he began to search according to the appearance of the shrine in his memory.

Since the message was delivered using the sword Ame-no-Murakumo, it shouldn't be too far away from there.

As his consciousness spread slightly, he found the place in his memory, then he withdrew his consciousness and rushed there.

Not long after Luo Bai left, a blue-haired girl suddenly appeared here, her face full of confusion.

"Huh? Why is he gone again? Did he disappear into some barrier again?

Humph, you Ah Bai, I've been out for such a long time and you still haven't come to find me. I've been looking for you everywhere but I can't find you. You must be able to beat me, otherwise, when I find you, I won't let you run away again, hehe..."

As if she was thinking of something wonderful, the girl couldn't help but smile and then left.

In a certain shrine, a petite blonde figure was sitting on the roof, staring blankly at the sky. Then, as if she suddenly sensed something, she stood up suddenly, muttering.

"Bai is back..."

......

In this era where humans, demons and gods coexist, although people rarely have the opportunity to pay homage to gods, miracles caused by gods still exist.

The area around Moriya Shrine is often visited by gods, and there are many humans around, which is why the shrine has prospered.

Following the footsteps of the people coming to worship, Luo Bai walked into the shrine.

It seems that thanks to human development, the structure inside the shrine is somewhat different from usual.

Walking all the way to the worship hall where people were praying, Luo Bai took a look at the people who were worshipping some abstract objects representing Kanako and Suwako. He did not stop and walked straight inside.

There is still a barrier surrounding the residence of the gods, blocking the sight of ordinary people, and it is impossible to see what is going on inside from the outside.

Without any hesitation, Luo Bai stepped in, and the barrier seemed not to sense him and did not offer any obstruction.

The familiar pond came into view again, with the sound of frogs croaking from time to time. Everything seemed to have returned to the last era. It was a pity that the blond figure was no longer by the pond this time.

Luo Bai raised his head slightly, looked at the figure in the dazzling sunlight and chuckled, "Be careful not to fall down when standing so high, Suwako."

The figure on the roof seemed to be frightened by these words. His body suddenly shook, and then he fell down uncontrollably.

Luo Bai immediately stretched out his hands to catch her.

"I told you not to stand so high, and now you're falling down."

"I fell down because I was scared by you."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Then, dear Suwako-sama, can you please come down? If those believers see you like this, their faith will be shattered."

"It doesn't matter if they see it..."

Luo Bai stopped arguing, smiled gently, and walked into the house holding Suwako.

The house is very simple. As gods, they don't need to rest, so naturally they don't need furniture or anything.

There were several things that looked like futons placed there as a place to sit, and the futons were surrounded by a huge piece of cloth with some fruits placed on it.

As the two entered the house, a figure sitting on a futon, munching on some fruit, looked up at them. After noticing their posture, he revealed a look of relief: "You're finally back."

......

In a blink of an eye, the three of them were sitting together. Kanako was holding a bowl of wine and drinking it while telling Luo Bai about the hardships they had suffered over the years.

Since the torrent of the times came, they hid in the temporary world opened up by Luo Bai, living a repetitive life every day, and would fight each other when they were bored.

Fortunately, there was a lot of food and wine left by Luo Bai, so the two of them had something to pass the time during their boring time.

I don't know how much time passed, the food was finished, the wine was finished, and the two became even more bored.

One day, Kanako proposed to go out and take a look, but Suwako rejected her idea because Luo Bai had not returned yet and there might be danger outside.

Kanako could only temporarily dismiss this idea.

But this is not a long-term reason after all.

During a certain battle, they found that their strength seemed to have weakened. After repeated confirmation, they found that it was not empty talk.

As believers in God, if they lose their faith, their own strength will be affected. Even if one day no one believes in them anymore, their existence will disappear.

Now that they can clearly sense the changes in their strength, there must be something wrong with the humans in the outside world, and many humans no longer believe in them.

Just when the two of them agreed to go to the outside world together to check it out, this world suddenly disappeared, and the two of them were exposed to the outside world.

The danger they had imagined did not come, but the two could still feel that this world seemed to be suppressing them, and the divine power was draining away to the outside world at an extremely slow speed.

After no longer feeling any danger, the two of them separated to investigate the reason for the change in strength.

Kanako returns to her original Takama-ga-hara, and Suwako goes to the Shishiya Kingdom.

However, all the gods of Takama-ga-hara are gone, leaving only some buildings there, empty and deserted. However, Kanako can still feel the presence of some gods, perhaps gods who, like her, have escaped the tide of time and came here to check things out.

The Xieshi Kingdom has also disappeared, leaving only some humans in the area around the Xieshi Shrine.

The reason for all this is the gods controlled by Suwako. After Suwako left, these things that could only survive because of Suwako lost their restraints.
