You say this is a love game?

Furuya Ruriko attacked boldly, and with exceptionally skillful technique, she slapped the figure in the center of the forehead. The god froze on the spot, and then used her hands and feet to hug Furuya Ruriko, as if the whole person was stuck to her.

"Ruriko!"

"Wow~ My Ruriko!"

"Do you know how I got through all these years without you?"

Mizutani Makoto's expression evolved from astonishment, to shock, and finally to calmness.

A gust of wind blew by, and he looked at the god and the witch hugging each other in front of him with a dark face.

There is no "majestic god" or "awesome priestess".

Why is the god hugging Furuya Ruriko and crying here?!

He glanced at the tiger-thrush standing on his shoulder: "Are you gods suffering from some serious illness?"

“…Gu?”

Mai Yajima was furious and pecked Mizutani Makoto's neck with her beak!

"Lord God, calm down first..."

"Be good, let go of my hand first, and let's talk slowly..."

"Don't worry, I won't leave..."

Furuya Ruriko gently patted the god hanging on her body as if she was coaxing a child.

Mizutani Makoto covered his face.

"I should have realized..."

In the previous rift, when the shrine maiden mentioned the secrets of the gods, although she was respectful, it was far from being awe-inspiring... Her attitude towards the gods seemed to have always remained within the scope of "respect", which was not in line with the mentality of a shrine maiden.

but now……

You can still maintain the most basic respect for the gods?

"I've told you before that it's very dangerous out there. Why didn't you listen to me?"

"Why can't you stay in my divine realm with me?"

"Ruriko, you idiot! You humans are all really...Ahh!! It's you who always make me sad. I hate you—Hey, wait, don't let go, let's talk inside!"

Inside the Inari Daimyojin Shrine, Mizutani Makoto held his chin and looked at the deity in front of him.

Inari Daimyojin appears as a mature woman.

Dressed in regal white and gold attire, crowned with a celestial crown and adorned with intricate scarlet knots, she resembled both a miko and a priest. Her waist-length hair, a dazzling golden blonde, jutted from either side by a pair of fox ears, creating an image of the deity that seemed exceptionally majestic and sacred.

This is quite unexpected.

In mythology, the image of Inari Daimyojin can be male or female, or even a spider. He is a god of uncertain gender. Some people worship him as a male god, while others worship him as a goddess. This is further subdivided into the differences in beliefs in different places.

But it has been a thousand years since Inari Daimyojin came to the world.

Under the influence of the first generation of shrine maidens, the god who appeared in the image of a spider soon changed into the appearance of a woman. Then, after thousands of years of tempering, many interesting shrine maidens were born during this period, which made the elements of the god more and more superimposed, and even had the elements of a "fox".

The fox was supposed to be her messenger, not her incarnation.

But it’s no big deal for the modern Inari God to have some fox elements.

Thus, there came into being the "Inari Daimyojin" that Makoto Mizutani sees today.

Her image is undoubtedly that of a mature and plump adult woman, symbolizing the divine power of "harvest".

Inari Daimyojin covered his plump heart and looked at the former son of God in front of him with a look of deep sorrow.

why?

I can't smell anything familiar on you?

You smell like another god!

"Ruriko, you don't plan to continue being my shrine maiden?"

Ruriko Furuya simply touched the top of Inari Daimyojin's head upside down, perfectly explaining where the maternal instinct of this young mother came from.

"My Lord God, I am no longer worthy to be your miko."

Furuya Ruriko sighed softly.

"Actually, Lord God, you can see that I've already died once. If it weren't for the obsession still lingering in my heart, I might have already been reincarnated and wouldn't have waited until the day I was reborn in this form."

"And now, the obsession that once supported me in remaining in this world has completely dissipated."

Inari Daimyojin's hand suddenly trembled.

She clenched her fists and said, "You're not saying you just want to come and see your old friend and then reincarnate, are you?!"

Without waiting for Furuya Ruriko to answer, she sternly retorted, "I won't allow it. You're my miko. I don't care whose scent you have now, or which god turned you into this... Even if it's that god, I won't allow it!"

"Anyway, I will find a way to turn you into my divine messenger."

"At worst, we can just stay in this divine domain from now on. This is my divine domain anyway. Even that god...that god can't snatch you away from me!"

No, no, no, no, just take photos every day?

She looked at it and didn't seem like she would be afraid of Amaterasu.

Moreover, this is just the breath of Amaterasu... Amaterasu has never come to the human world at all. A main god of that level is the core of mythology, how could it be possible for him to come down?

Who knows where this god came from and is taking advantage of the power of others!

Anyway, she had had enough, and no one could take her Son of God away from her again!

Not to mention the mythical aunt, even her mythical father wouldn’t be able to do anything!

Haha, anyway, for those main gods in mythology to descend from mythology is simply a fantasy...

But Furuya Ruriko shook her head.

"I was not taken away, God-sama."

"……what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Inari Daimyojin immediately had a bad premonition.

Furuya Ruriko did not hide anything and said frankly: "I have found the person I want to serve for the rest of my life."

Her life is actually over.

As a shrine maiden, Furuya Ruriko must serve the Inari Daimyojin she respects for her entire life, but that life ended thirty-seven years ago. The current Furuya Ruriko is a shrine maiden who stays in the human world because someone wants her to stay.

"I want to follow Master Mizutani...and it is because Master Mizutani still needs me that I remain in this world."

"My Lord God, I can no longer serve you."

"...Please forgive me."

this moment.

Inari Daimyojin's heart gently broke.

Chapter 169: Fragments of the Tenfist Sword, the Kuwahara siblings at the Mitsuzu Misawa Medical Center.

In front of the cow?

So exciting?

Mizutani Makoto felt it keenly. After the shrine maiden confessed that she had a new follower, the blonde fox girl's heart seemed to break into countless pieces in an instant.

How pitiful.

But because of his compassionate look with yellow hair, he was instantly captured by the miserable Inari Daimyojin. The big fox immediately got angry and said, "You yellow hair, you still have the nerve to feel sorry for the victim?"

I don’t care what your relationship with Amaterasu is!

Amaterasu is my aunt! Susanoo is my stepfather, and Oyamatsugumi is my grandfather. As the second-generation descendant of a top-notch god, how can I bear this kind of injustice?

This stinky yellow-haired guy, you're so arrogant about my Son of God, yet you dare show me such a pitiful expression... What's the difference between this and stopping the will-o'-the-wisp in front of my shrine? If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?

But if I hit him directly, Liulizi would definitely stop me. Let's see how she disguises herself...

"Why are you doing this to me?"

The big fox hugged Furuya Ruriko and cried and made a fuss, almost rolling on the ground.

Mizutani Makoto wordlessly looked away. It was also his first time being a yellow-haired boy, and he was a little confused, his family.

Take a moment to look around.

The residence of Inari Daimyojin is more modern than you might imagine. Various game consoles are placed on the side, there is a separate e-sports table area in the corner, and there is also a large screen in the center of the room that can be connected to a host.

Is this the abode of God?

It feels like a room in a gaming house...

But just as he was guessing about the daily life of Inari Daimyojin, his premonition of danger suddenly exploded. He turned his head and immediately saw the golden pupils close at hand.

——The eyes of God.

Mizutani Makoto's gaze fell on those eyes. The slightly narrowed golden eyes revealed a cunning meaning, and the raised corners of the mouth made people feel that something was wrong.

But the next moment, the god showed a look of confusion.

"You kid..."

Mizutani Makoto's shoulder was held, and her slender female palm seemed to contain a power as heavy as a mountain. Mizutani Makoto raised his hand to slap her hand away, but she dodged it easily.

Her face moved closer.

“Sniff… sniff…”

A pair of fox ears trembled slightly.

"hiss……"

Very itchy.

Mizutani Makoto felt like being rubbed against and sniffed by a cat or dog. This god had no concept of gender at all, and would just sniff him vigorously if he caught him.

Smell from neck to face.

She held his head again and looked into his eyes very closely with her forehead against his.

Looking into those golden pupils, Mizutani Makoto felt a heavy pressure.

These eyes did not harbor any ill intentions, but to look into the eyes of a god was itself an act of great presumption. An ordinary mortal would probably faint after just one look, and whether they could survive depended on the god's mood.

Even with Mizutani Makoto's strong willpower, looking into the eyes of a god at such a close distance would still place a heavy mental burden on him.

"strangeness……"

she muttered.

Don't be surprised!

Even the witch sighed helplessly!

Mizutani Makoto caught a glimpse of Furuya Ruriko's movements out of the corner of his eye. She was walking towards this side. Her expression was like that of a parent who saw a naughty child making trouble. He could only sigh helplessly. In short, it was hard to describe.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mizutani-sama."

"I will take good care of God."

Ruriko Furuya grabbed her arm from behind and pulled her away from Makoto Mizutani.

"You too, Lord God, please be more restrained."

"Hey! Liulizi, stop messing around. I'm thinking about something important! This kid you brought here gives me a very strange feeling."

While being dragged, Inari Daimyojin kept frowning, and her solemn expression finally gave her a hint of divine majesty.

Furuya Ruriko stopped moving.

Then I heard the Inari God ask:

"Have you ever taken anything related to gods?"

"Ok?"

Mizutani Makoto held his forehead and thought for a while.

——Chiko Kurei?
