Zongman: The only God Slayer adopted by the Nakano family

"How can a school of fish fly? And where does that sound come from?"

The people waiting for the fireworks on Ukiyo-e Street were all looking up at the sky, but the night sky was covered by a school of fish. People with better eyesight might have noticed something was wrong, but most people still believed that fish could not fly into the sky, not to mention the inexplicable second-year speech just now.

"Could it be a monster?"

Suddenly, a guess popped up from the crowd. Upon hearing the sound, Nura Rikuo, who was with the monsters of the Nura group, twitched his mouth.

Ever since these monsters were brought out to cover for Nakano Yu, something that ordinary people couldn't understand happened every day, and it was said to be done by the monsters, which made Nura Rikuo a little unbearable.

Some things are indeed related to youkai, but tonight's strange vision and the sound just now were definitely not caused by youkai. In fact, there are many youkai who can control animals such as fish and birds, but making fish fly into the air, or even covering the entire sky, is too difficult! Not to mention the huge amount of youkai required, the key point is that there are definitely not that many fish in the entire area of ​​Tokyo!

Nura Rikuo had never seen it, but he was sure that no monster possessed such a strong demon aura.

But...if it's not a monster, what could be causing it?

Thinking about it, Nura Rikuo suddenly remembered the moon a few months ago.

The moon that day was wailing and telling him sadly. Nura Rikuo didn't know what kind of existence could affect the moon at that time, but it was definitely not something he could see.

And now, Nura Rikuo has a premonition that the one who caused this situation tonight is the same guy who affected the moon!

But Nura Rikuo was not panicked. He had just met Nakano Yuu before and knew that Nakano Yuu was also here. Nura Rikuo could not handle this kind of thing by himself, and he was powerless to do anything, so he just trusted Nakano Yuu!

Thinking of this, Nura Rikuo yawned, turned around and was about to leave.

"Oh! Young Master!"

Seeing Nura Rikuo turn around and leave, Qingtianfang turned around in confusion and shouted to his young master.

Today, it was their young master who took the initiative to come out to watch the fireworks display. Originally, there were only a few monsters among them, but now monsters are allowed to appear in front of humans, and they have been feeling depressed for years.

Monsters who like to join in the fun will naturally not miss out on such a lively event as a fireworks display. It would be fine if they couldn't participate before, but now that they are allowed, they will definitely go, and they will go with their young master.

Just like that, most of the monsters in the Nura clan came out, and inexplicably formed the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

But now...why is our young master suddenly going back?

"Back to Qingtianfang."

Nura Rikuo raised his hand and said without turning his head.

Nura Rikuo's movements attracted a large group of monsters, and those monsters turned their heads to look at Nura Rikuo with puzzled expressions.

"I can't watch the fireworks tonight."

Nura Rikuo paused, looked up at the dark night sky, said something inexplicable, and left.

Seeing this, the remaining hundreds of demons looked at each other, and after looking at each other, they finally chose to leave with Nura Rikuo. Only a few monsters were unwilling to leave.

Nakano Ichika and the others in the distance also noticed the abnormality of the Nura group's monsters. They understood that the monsters had also noticed the problem. Logically, they should have left here, but...

Looking at so many people gathered in the square, not only the five sisters, but also Nakano Rena and Sawamura Sayuri felt that they could not leave like this.

When it comes to facing this kind of thing, Nakano Rena and Sawamura Sayuri have never experienced it before, and they are still a little too soft-hearted in their actions and thoughts.

They felt that they could not just leave and watch so many people die here, but Nakano Maruo and Spencer disagreed.

One of them is a capitalist and the other is a politician. They know that the best way at this time is to protect themselves. I believe Nakano Yu also thinks so.

After exchanging a glance with Spencer, Nakano Yuu walked up, patted Nakano Rena's shoulder, and advised:

"Rena, Yuu will take care of everything, let's go."

"...Lily, we should go home. It's dangerous here, and...Eriri is here too."

Spencer also stepped forward to persuade her. Sayuri Sawamura wanted to do something at first, but when she heard Eriri, she paused and calmed down immediately.

Looking at the crowd that was still in a state of confusion, Sayuri Sawamura pursed her lips, looked at Nakano Rena, and said:

"Reina, I believe Yuu will handle everything. Let's go."

"Kasan..."

At this time, Ichika also stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Nakano Rena's clothes.

She also wanted to do something for these people, but what could she do? Would those people believe what she said?

Yes, Nakano Yu is currently very popular in Japan, but this does not mean that her words are Nakano Yu's words. No matter how seriously she speaks, it is estimated that those people will only agree with her superficially, and few of them will actually leave.

Instead of doing useless work, Yihua feels that her family and the people around her are more important.

This would make her look selfish, but... anyone who chooses to put their family in danger with them in this situation is a fool!

But Ichika is obviously not that kind of person, and I believe her mother Nakano Rena would not be that kind of person either.

After hearing what everyone said, Nakano Rena clenched her fists, and after a moment of hesitation, she turned around and was about to leave with Ichika and the others.

She no longer has a noble profession like a teacher. She is now just an ordinary mother and an ordinary wife.

She owed the five Nakano sisters and Maruo so much, she couldn't bring them here and cause trouble for Yu just because she was soft-hearted.

"let's go."

After saying these words solemnly, the group left quickly and silently, and the crowd did not notice their departure.

At this time, people are still waiting for the fireworks to be lit with great anticipation, waiting for the dazzling fireworks to bloom for them for a moment of beauty.

"The organizers were just adjusting the sound just now. Don't be nervous, everyone. It's time for the fireworks to go off! Let's count down together!"

An old woman's voice came from the loudspeaker on the power line. As soon as the old woman finished speaking, she immediately attracted everyone's attention that was focused on the sky, and followed the voice from the loudspeaker to start the countdown for the lighting of the fireworks.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!!"

"two!!"

"1!!!"

When the final "one" sounded, the large fireworks that had been placed were ignited...

The fuse burned with a sizzling sound and soon burned to the end.

"boom!!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Accompanied by a series of explosions, glowing fireballs shot into the sky.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound from high in the sky, and the fireworks exploded, and a brilliant light blue firework exploded in the air.

But after the fireworks, the expressions of the people who had just been looking forward to watching the fireworks froze, and some of them kept rubbing their eyes, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

"Hey! Usoda! So, that... thing in the sky just now... was it a whale?"

"I, I saw it too..."

"Yes, I saw it wrong, didn't I?"

There were sporadic murmurs among the crowd, but people were not frightened by what they had just seen. In fact, their gazes at the sky became eager, and some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"Bang bang!"

There were several more consecutive sounds, and several beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky again. At this time, everyone could see the situation in the sky clearly.

There is no moon anywhere tonight!

The sky was completely covered with fish!!!

"Fuck! What was that just now?!"

"Kami! It must be Lord Kami appearing!"

"Is it Lord Ebisu?!"

"It must be Lord Ebisu appearing! Lord Ebisu! Please grant me wealth!"

The crowd was in an uproar for a while. In addition to those whose worldviews had been overturned, some people who believed in money had begun to kneel down and worship. Some even rushed to the Ebisu Shrine, wanting to donate incense in exchange for a lifetime of wealth.

But... these people were destined not to imagine that the gods they worshipped were already full of resentment towards them at this time, and really wanted to bring down divine punishment to kill all human beings!

However, the god did not do so at this time. It was not because he didn't want to, but because he met a young man who stopped him.

At this time, above the school of fish in the clouds, a young man who controlled the strong wind stood there, looking unkindly at the deformed old man riding a dolphin opposite him with legs thinner than his arms.

Nakano Yu could feel the malice emanating from the old man, but it was not directed at him, but at all human beings.

But...this made Nakano Yu a little confused about what kind of god the old man was.

He felt the breath of the sea and the wind from the old man, but Neon is an island country after all, and there are many gods related to the sea and the wind.

Previously, Nakano Yu guessed that the god of disobedience that appeared this time would be [Disobedient Ebisu], but now Nakano Yu feels that his guess was wrong.

The god Ebisu can be said to have a very high status in the hearts of the Japanese people. Even after being abandoned by his parents and exiled from Takama-ga-hara, he should have drifted on the sea and become an unknown god. However, it was the Japanese people's worship of him that allowed this god to gain an unimaginable lofty status in the mortal world.

His status is even higher than that of his younger brother [Tsukuyomi].

By the way, Ebisu’s parents are the very famous brother and sister couple in Japanese mythology - Izanagi and Izanami!

And Ebisu's true identity is the leech born from the first wrong union of Izanagi and Izanami!

....

Chapter 203: Leech Becomes a God, the Real Ebisu

The god of wealth and commerce, who is highly respected by the Japanese people, is just an abandoned god in Takama-ga-hara.

But these are not important. There are many cases of abandoning wives and children in mythology. For example, in ancient Greek mythology, a son of god or a demigod would be lost every now and then, and then not long after, a human or demigod hero would appear among humans.

Ebisu's story is actually very similar to these. He was born into a noble family. Although he fell into the mortal world, he was still revered by people and became a god of a very high status.

The origin of Ebisu is actually a pretty ridiculous story.

The origin of the story is that Izanagi and Izanami, an irresponsible couple, abandoned their first child, which caused the newly born Ebisu to drift on the sea.

Therefore, "Ebisu" in the early Neon language referred to things floating on the sea.

This is also the reason why Ebisu is involved with the sea.

At first, "Ebisu" only referred to Ebisu, but later it was associated with all things floating on the sea. In the neon mythology books that Yu Nakano has read, the interpretation of this "thing floating on the sea" can be said to be very abstract.

In addition to ships floating on the sea, "drifting objects on the sea" also include whales that poke their heads out of the sea to breathe, and dolphins that leap across the sea.

These creatures were classified as "floating things on the sea", and it was from then on that the god Ebisu became inseparable from the ocean and fish.

As for why Ebisu is still revered as the God of Business and Wealth, it is closely related to the characteristics of the Japanese island country.

As an island country, the only way for Japan to support its families and earn 25 cents in ancient times was through maritime trade and fishing. Ships drifting on the sea were not under the jurisdiction of Japan's God of the Ocean, Watatsumi, but were under the jurisdiction of Ebisu.

In order to ensure smooth sailing for their ships, Japanese merchants worshipped Ebisu as the god of commerce. Since commerce can bring a lot of wealth, he was also named the god of wealth.

At first, this saying was only popular in coastal areas, but people are prone to blind obedience, and some businessmen who worshipped Ebisu really made a fortune, so the saying that Ebisu was in charge of the two major functions of [business] and [wealth] was widely circulated and thus became a reality.

It can be said that Ebisu’s becoming such a revered god is inseparable from human beings.

Logically speaking, Ebisu was abandoned by his parents in Takama-ga-hara and was worshipped by humans and enjoyed their incense. He should not have such great hostility towards humans. Therefore, when Nakano Yu saw the god who looked like an old man, he felt that the other party was not Ebisu, but his guess was wrong.

"You're Campione? Wow~ You're really young."

At this time, Ebisu looked at the young man who stopped his school of fish, and recognized the young man's identity at a glance. He also knew Nakano Yu's identity as the "God Killer". Instead of showing disgust towards Nakano Yu like some gods, Ebisu smiled and was surprised by Nakano Yu's youth.

In fact, Ebisu's reaction was correct. The gods hated Campione, and Ebisu hated it as well. But compared to the godslayer, Ebisu hated those gods who hid in the divine world and ruthlessly abandoned him even more!

It can be said that Ebisu really wanted to rush to Takama-ga-hara and teach those gods a lesson, but he was ultimately just a defective god born of Izanagi and Izanami. In terms of combat, he could not even beat the goddess transformed by the Totsuka sword, let alone Sankiko and her parents.

How could Ebisu not be happy when Nakano Yu did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do?

But... this [Campione] who came to him seemed to be on the side of those humans.

Thinking of this, Ebisu looked at the wind that was blocking his school of fish, and his old face gradually became unfriendly.

He hated being interfered with in what he was about to do, even if the other party's style of doing things was very much to his liking, but...the sins committed by humans could never be forgiven so easily.

He is the god of [commerce] and [wealth], but he is even more the god of [fishing]. What those humans have done has completely exceeded the proper behavior of [fishing]!

That was an evil act that he could never forgive!

"[Campione], do you know who I am?"

Ebisu asked in confusion, looking at the school of fish that were madly crashing into the [wind] with cloudy eyes.
