You say this is a love game?

Mizutani Makoto took out the Japanese bow.

"It's not this thing. This is what I gave to the shrine. How could I not know it? You must have hidden something else. I won't steal your things. Show me what you have."

She urged.

She also felt strange. There was a familiar aura about Mizutani Makoto, but it was more like a remnant, and the source was not from him...

Could it be that she was really wrong?

This kid might have just taken something from somewhere and didn't bring it with him...

That should be the case. She is a god, and this boy is just a mortal. If he really hid something, how could she not feel it?

But the next moment, she couldn't help but be stunned.

In front of her, Makoto Mizutani took out the only item that was most likely related to a god from Touko's backpack and handed it to Inari Daimyojin.

——[Unknown Broken Sword 1]

When she took the broken sword, she was stunned for a moment.

No, where did this guy hide the thing? She couldn’t even feel it?

Strange...

Inari Daimyojin lowered his eyes and gazed.

The next second, she looked shocked and threw the broken sword back to Mizutani Makoto without hesitation.

"Take this thing back! Stay away from me!"

The god simply moved his butt and crawled on the floor to create a distance of at least ten meters between himself and Mizutani Makoto, looking at the broken sword in Mizutani Makoto's hand with a vigilant look on his face.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Where did you get this broken sword?"

Mizutani Makoto was not stupid enough to reveal the secret of his past life, so he said that the sword was an accidental gain. Inari God seemed to understand something and waved his hand in disappointment, not delving into the origin of the sword.

She still looked at the broken sword in his hand with lingering fear, and this attitude made Mizutani Makoto feel a chill in his heart.

"What on earth is this broken sword?"

Mizutani Makoto asked.

"You don't know? That's right, if you knew you wouldn't be so ostentatious..."

Inari God's frown finally relaxed.

"Listen carefully, kid. This sword is called the 'Ten-Fist Sword'. It's the same sword you've heard of in myths and legends..."

That is, the sword of Inari Daimyojin, her mythical father.

According to the "Genpei Rise and Fall Chronicle", there are three sacred swords in Japanese mythology - the Totsuka sword, the Murakumo sword, and the Furyu sword, collectively known as the "Three Swords of the Age of Gods".

The sword of Ame Murakumo is called "Kusanagi Sword", the sword of Furu is called "Butsu Mitsumi", and the remaining sword of Jutsuka is derived from the sword of the ancestor that shines brightly in mythology.

The Totsuka sword is the ancestor of all swords in Japanese mythology and can be called the source of swords.

In mythology, the sword was originally held by Izanagi. Later, Izanagi gave birth to Susanoo, and he passed the sword to Susanoo. Susanoo, holding the sword, completed another important feat in Japanese mythology.

——Kill the Yamata no Orochi.

The Ten-fist Sword is also known as "Ten-no-Oba-no-Habari" and "Ten-no-Oba-no-Habari".

In ancient times, Japan called the big snake "Haba", and Ama-Haba-zan means killing the heavenly snake - killing the big snake in the name of the god.

But before killing the Yamata no Orochi, this Ten-fist Sword was already a world-famous sword that kills gods and creates life.

Izanagi wielded the Ten-fisted Sword and killed the God of Fire Kagutsuchi. After killing Kagutsuchi, more gods were born from the sword. Even the famous Takemikazuchi was born when the Ten-fisted Sword killed the God of Fire.

Later, Izanagi used the Tentsu Sword to repel Izumi Hiyama of Yomi and defeated all of Yomi's pursuers.

It can be said that this divine sword finally worn by Susanoo is a sword that slays gods, dragons, and souls. No wonder the Inari god was so frightened.

You bastard, are you handing the God-killing Sword to the God?

This thing killed the God of Fire, faced an army of evil gods in the underworld with one sword, and even the strongest dragons and snakes in Japanese mythology perished under the Ten-fist Sword. She was just an Inari God. Even though the Inari God faith in Japan was strong, it could not offset the essential gap brought about by the pantheon... How could she withstand this sword?

She is a farming god, and even she is scary to look at.

But at the same time, Inari God finally had the answer in his heart.

"That's what I'm saying. You look weird to me..."

As mentioned before, this sword is the sword of Father Inari God.

Inari Daimyojin has two mythological fathers - one is the generally recognized Susanoo, and the other is Izanagi.

Whether it was Izanagi or Susanoo, they both used the Totsuka sword as their sword and accomplished their own great deeds.

...No wonder he smells like a dad.

Inari God muttered secretly in her heart. The aura of her old father's sword gave her a complete shock.

Mizutani Makoto, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

He had already guessed.

In the myth, the sword that was broken into three parts was actually a Ten-Fist Sword.

How did this magic sword break?

It was severed when Susanoo and Amaterasu gave birth to their child.

At the beginning, Susanoo entered Amaterasu's Takama-ga-hara. Amaterasu thought that Susanoo was coming to seize her territory, so she dressed in men's clothes and held a longbow to block Susanoo outside Takama-ga-hara.

At this time, the two held the Ukihi Festival to verify that Susanoo had no ambition to occupy Takama-ga-hara.

This ceremony is actually for the birth of offspring.

Amaterasu took Susanoo's ten-fisted sword, broke it into three parts, and gave birth to three goddesses with these three parts of the sword.

Susanoo bit Amaterasu's Yasakani no Magatama into pieces and gave birth to five male gods.

This is also the reason why Amaterasu, despite being a "virgin goddess", has descendants, including the subsequent Amaterasu in the myth, who are also the descendants born from this festival between her and Susanoo.

With such a myth in mind, it was hard for Mizutani Makoto not to associate the broken sword with the Ten-fist Sword, but the problem was that Tongzi had been pretending to be dead, so he couldn't make a conclusion.

Now, there is a god to answer his questions and resolve his doubts.

This magic sword... is good.

Suddenly, an electric current flowed out from between Mizutani Makoto's fingers, and the boy's expression changed instantly.

Bad, what kind of magic sword is this? He doesn’t recognize it.

He only recognizes his Chidori-chan, so don't let your imagination run wild.

Comfort is comfort, but Makoto Mizutani's body is still quite honest.

"This broken sword seems to be sealed. Is there any way to unseal it?"

This is the Ten Fist Sword!

Kill gods, kill dragons, kill souls.

He couldn't even imagine how luxurious the panel of this sword would be if it were to be freed one day!

An excited heart, trembling hands, and expectant eyes.

But the fox poured cold water on him.

"totally no idea."

The golden fox pointed at himself and said the most useless words in the most arrogant tone.

"What kind of god do you think I am? I'm the god of farming, the god of grain. Things like the Ten-Fist Sword have nothing to do with me. What can I do?"

"Now, from what I can tell, either you need to repair the Ten-Fist Sword and its divine power will manifest, or you need to find a powerful deity, preferably one related to its mythological nature, so that they can help you unseal this sword."

As she spoke, the fox girl shook her head gently again, her eyes falling on Mizutani Makoto's face. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she also began to observe him carefully.

Mizutani Makoto's shikigami are not hiding in the medium, but following him. The only difference is whether they hide well or not.

"A divine soul..."

"Amaterasu's miko, Susanoo's sword..."

"I think there's also a Youdaoji? It's rare, but not that powerful..."

"Zashiki-warashi? There are people who use Zashiki-warashi as Shikigami? What a stray dog ​​on the roadside..."

What a strange combination.

"You kid, you don't look like the type of person who would respectfully call me 'Lord God'. You're not cute at all."

At this time, Furuya Ruriko gently patted the shoulder of Inari God. The god turned his head to look at Furuya Ruriko behind him, and after realizing that the girl's elbow was bent outward, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Just call me Yuzhuanjin from now on. It doesn't make any difference. At least it sounds more respectful."

Miozu, at first glance, sounds like a white-haired character in Itchy Mouse, but "Miozu" is actually one of the many names of Inari Daimyojin. Whether it is Uga no Mikonokami, Kurai Inamori no Mikoto, Miozu, Mishoku, or the Three Fox Gods... they all refer to her.

She even has a more elegant-sounding divine name, "Hyakutaki Inari."

She said this so that Mizutani Makoto could call her by his name. At least these names sounded respectful.

"Don't worry about the sword. Even I can't fix it. What's the point of worrying about it?"

Yuzhongjin, the god propped himself up on his knees, a complicated expression on his face, and then his expression became resolute.

"You kid, get up."

"I haven't agreed to hand over my Ruriko to you yet!"

Mizutani Makoto: "?"

Miozu came in with a threatening tone, and said this as if he was going to marry off his daughter, but Furuya Ruriko felt a sharp pain on her forehead when she heard it.

At this moment, Yuzhong Jin rolled up her sleeves and sat down directly next to Mizutani Makoto. The goddess who exuded a warm fragrance grabbed Mizutani Makoto's shoulder and stuffed the handle into his hand in the blink of an eye.

"For the sake of the Tenfist Sword and Ruriko, I won't beat you up, so you won't accuse me of bullying... But don't think about taking Ruriko away from me so easily. Ruriko is my Son of God, and that won't change no matter what!"

"Gods have the capital to be willful."

"I don't care who Liulizi is willing to follow. Anyway, she was mine before, and I still treat her as mine now... Hehehe, have you ever heard of forcibly breaking up a couple?

"I used to hate that kind of thing, but now I am the one who owns my parents. I can't watch my child run away with Huangmao!"

"I'll give you a chance now. If you can beat me, I'll reluctantly—Ah! Ah! Ruriko! I scared him! It's rare for you to come here, so can't you play with me for a while?"

"What do you mean you're in a hurry? No! Don't leave so soon! At least stay here with me for another ten years, right?"

"Gods have a problem with their sense of time? No way! I didn't even ask you to stay with me for fifty years, and you can't stand it after just a dozen years? How can you be so—Ah!"

Mizutani Makoto felt sorry for her, so he sat in the shrine and played games with Yuzue all day long.

"Don't go~!"

"Ruriko, how am I going to live if you leave?"

It seems that Yuzenjin has grasped the vital point of Furuya Ruriko.

If she had pounced on Furuya Ruriko, she would definitely have been pulled down by the shrine maiden, but now she pounced on Mizutani Makoto, clinging to him like an octopus, and the shrine maiden was immediately helpless.

"You can't be so willful."

Furuya Ruriko wanted to help pull Yuzhongjin away, but Yuzhongjin's face-hugger posture had already reached its peak, and she had no idea where to start.

"We'll stay here for a few days."

In the arms of Yuzenjin that were almost strangling him to death, Mizutani Makoto raised his hands with difficulty, and his voice seemed particularly dull under the oppression.

This guy is not only using his hands and feet, but he's even got his fox tail wrapped around him!

"Really?"

Yuzhongjin jumped down.

She immediately smiled. The god patted Mizutani Makoto's shoulder with a playful smile and asked in a low voice:

"How about you stay here overnight?"

Mizutani Makoto shook his head and refused: "I have somewhere else to go... No need to drag me along like this, we'll come visit again later."

The fox's ears stood up, trembled twice, and then wilted again.

"...Well, I'll wait for you here then."

"Come to think of it, Qiu Sui rarely comes to the Divine Realm to see me. Every time, I have to ask her to come over before she's willing to play with me..."
