Maybe this is what heroes think alike.
One felt that he was in the dark and the other party was in the dark, so I would definitely have the upper hand if he calculated with his mind but not with his own mind; while the other, for some reason, woke up before the autumn wind moved, and immediately thought of the suspect's true identity just when he saw a face demon, and made preparations. Went to report it.
That's probably it. Anyway, the world where only Takamagahara is used as a knife is completed.
In this way, two days passed quickly.
In the morning of this day.
"Speaking of which, Yato, are you really a god?"
In a certain street alley, Iki Hiwa stared at the purple-haired and blue-eyed young man in front of her with suspicion. Although everything had proved the truth, she really felt that the sense of violation was too strong. Now I am increasingly doubting that someone must have a problem between myself and the other party.
"ah?"
With a lollipop in his mouth, Yato asked vaguely while holding a can of spray paint and spraying graffiti on the clean and tidy walls of the alley. He didn't look back, as if I also didn’t hear what Iki Hiyori said clearly.
Iki Hiyori looked at the wall with some helplessness. Yato's name and phone number were painted with bright red spray paint, and there was no sign of any god's majesty at all. They were just promoting how hard he worked on running errands and how long he had to complete the task. How fast and cost-effective is the advertising slogan.
This doesn't look like a god who helps people realize their wishes!
She pursed her thin lips and repeated the question suspiciously.
"You...what do you mean? How am I different?" Yadou stiffened and turned around numbly. Although the girl didn't have any ill intentions and simply asked questions like this, it was just like this that made him feel very hurt. Mainly because it seemed that many people would think so after getting to know him.
Not to mention being a believer, even artifacts will be despised. It seems to be the same now, even Iki Hiyori is like this... She has only been following him for a few days!
Could it be said that he really lacks the majesty of a god?
At this moment, Yato couldn't help but have some self-doubt.
"Ah hahaha, don't be so frustrated. I'm just asking...after all, the way you look at me is very different from the god I imagined."
Seeing that the purple-haired young man suddenly turned gray, Ichiki Hiyori quickly waved his hands, put on an embarrassed smile, and quickly explained: "I usually just wander around aimlessly on the street. , I would go to a small, dilapidated and deserted temple to spend the night, and I would also pick up garbage on the street..."
Although he is a part-time artifact, he has been on duty several times these days. Therefore, Ikki Hiyori naturally knows what kind of life this poor guy who calls himself a god lives every day. Even if he does not know everything about it, he can generally understand it. Understand the rules of its actions.
Basically, it's what she said. Just looking at the surface, he is completely idle and unemployed, a vagrant with nothing to do, and a small gangster who is just getting by... So it is normal for her to have doubts about this, and it is not deliberately targeted. The blow came from pure doubt.
It's just okay that the girl didn't explain. After such an explanation, Yato felt as if he was pierced by a javelin from the chest——
Suddenly, his whole body was in bad condition, and he suffered extremely serious critical damage.
Listening to what the other party said, from the perspective of a bystander, it seemed as if he was really a parasite in society. He did not sound like a god at all! Damn, damn it, is it because of this reason that I have never been able to collect stable faith, and the artifacts I have on hand are always changing jobs, so I can't do it in the long run?
Thinking of this, he clenched his fist tightly and covered his heart with the other hand. He almost had the urge to burst into tears, but he still tried hard to defend himself:
"I...I didn't want to. I don't even have a shrine, and I haven't left any name or legend. Even if someone remembers me, it's impossible to live to this era..."
——Why "Unnamed God"?
——Of course it is because in this era, his name has not been spread steadily.
When all the people who knew him, remembered him, and were associated with him died, he naturally became an unknown god in this era. And when the thread of faith anchoring his existence no longer exists, he is left with only two choices, either to accept his fate and slowly die out, or to start from scratch again...
Starting from scratch is not to challenge yourself, it is simply because you have no means and no background. No one knows him, does not recognize him, and does not believe that he is a god, so how many choices are there?
Moreover, there are only a few people who are destined to him, and those who really come to him for entrustments or prayers with the idea that "it only costs five yen, and you have some faith", it is difficult to expect that the entrustments they give are so critical and important. , basically it’s often just the same trivial things.
Either he is looking for cats or dogs, or he is looking for lost things. Faced with such a situation, what can he do... There is no room for pickiness. If he can be more decent and can make some serious prayers, he does not want to wander around the streets and alleys every day, everywhere. Digging through the trash!
If he had his own shrine, he wouldn't want to spend the night in a dilapidated temple!
All in all, it is the kind that makes people sad when they hear it and sheds tears when they see it.
Listening to this sad story, looking at Yato's look of reminiscing about the past, the corners of Hiyori Ichiki's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Well, it's so miserable...it turns out that the world of gods is also like this. Is it cruel? The competition is extremely fierce..."
"You will definitely not understand that the pressure in our industry is too great..."
Yato said sadly, with an expression on his face that you didn't understand at all.
"After all, compared to you humans, we are really precarious. If no one gets to know us and no one remembers our names, we will disappear soon..."
"This, that's it..." Iki Hiyori put his hands together in front of him very apologetically, and apologized apologetically, "I really don't know, I accidentally reminded you of unpleasant things, I'm really sorry... "
She really didn't know that God's current employment environment was so bad, and she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
Seeing Yato's uninterested look, Iki Hiyori looked around anxiously, and then he didn't know what he thought of, so he changed the subject unnaturally: "How about this? I'll invite you to go. How about having something to eat, just take it as my apology..."
"Really?! Treat me to something to eat?!"
Yadou immediately calmed down his expression, and his eyes became sparkling, as if the sadness, helplessness, mental exhaustion and other emotions just now were revealed, but they were forgotten by him in the blink of an eye, and only the next big thing remained in his eyes. meal.
The mood change was so fast, so hasty and sudden, that the girl was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously.
After confirming this, Yadou immediately clenched his fists and waved excitedly: "Of course I want to go! Since it is your offering to this god, then I will barely give you some face! Are you going now? ? Lead the way, lead the way!"
"..."
"..."
Iki Hiyori opened his mouth, looked at Yato who suddenly became very arrogant, and finally sighed, without trying to explain that this was not his offering, nor was he a believer of the other party... First of all That's it, just make him happy.
Although the other person's face changed too quickly, she always had some doubts that what she just said was actually to gain sympathy, and she felt like she had been deceived. However, considering her physical problem, she still had to rely on the other person to solve it... It was just a meal, no big deal. of.
"By the way, where is that...that Fei? Isn't she coming?"
After looking around, the girl didn't find the whereabouts of the strange girl wearing a crown from before. If she thought about it carefully, she got up early today because she didn't have to go to school on the day off, so she came directly to Yadou.
It seems that since then, I haven't seen the kimono girl named Fei.
"Fei... don't worry about her. She has something going on right now and won't be able to come back for a while..."
Yadou twitched his eyebrows, his eyes became slightly subtle, but he still pretended to say it as if nothing had happened.
Fei always seemed to be very busy these two days, and it was the same today. She left early in the morning and just informed him that she would not go too far. As long as Bishamon came to the vicinity of this land, She would be able to find it and would rush over in time so that he didn't have to worry...
——But that’s not what Yato was struggling with at all.
Fei is her father's artifact and her own artifact, but in the final analysis it is still her father's artifact. She may have many owners, and she may even have various names engraved on her body. However, the only one who is truly loyal is her father... so she is usually not there. When he was with him, he would go back to report to his father, or run around for some task assigned by his father.
Fei's actions in the past two days also revealed something to Yadou - that is, his father is very likely to be in this city, or at least near this land.
And it is very likely that he is planning some conspiracy and conspiracy surrounding this city - after all, he knows the ruthless man very well.
But Yadou had no choice but to pretend to be invisible. Anyway, as long as the other party didn't come to the door, he seemed to know nothing... Maybe he was quite cowardly, in his heart It's such a self-deprecating laugh, but that's really the case.
It is difficult for people to muster the courage to resist the authority in their hearts. At least no matter how much Yadou hates, rejects, or resists at the moment, he is indeed not ready for that...such as going out independently, establishing his own business, or Cut off the father-son relationship with that man or something like that.
"Oh, what did you ask her to do?" Iki Hiyori didn't think too much, but nodded with a slight regret.
"That's right... Okay, okay, let's go eat now, don't talk so much." Yadou mumbled over vaguely, and at the same time kept urging the girl, trying to bring the topic to a close.
"Okay, then come with me. I remember there is a store nearby that looks good. My friends and I have been there a few times... let's go there."
Iki Hiyori waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the exit of the alley, taking the initiative to lead the way, while gesturing for Yato to follow.
"By the way, by the way, you... Yadou, how old are you now?" The girl asked curiously as she walked away. What Yadou just said made her subconsciously think of this aspect, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, this..."
The young man with purple hair and blue eyes followed the girl, stretched out his hand to touch the back of his head, and began to think seriously, but his tone was very uncertain, "I don't remember much about this, I was born not long ago , to use you humans’ terminology, it’s that time during the Heian Era…”
"...P-Heian era?!"
The corner of Iki Hiyori's mouth twitched!
If she remembers her history correctly, the Heian period was more than a thousand years ago, right? Even if calculated based on the year it ended, it has been more than 800 years since the twenty-first century... But this guy still said it was not long ago?
——"Compared to you humans, we are more precarious"...
——"We will disappear soon"...
The words Yadou just said flowed through her mind, and the girl's face tightened. She clenched her fists to make herself expressionless. Everything will disappear soon. Now that you have lived to this age, you should be content.
hateful! What a waste of feelings... It's a waste that I felt guilty just now, but now I suddenly find that the other person's concept of time is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Yadou didn't notice the subtle changes in the girl, but he didn't know what he thought of, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.
The two of them walked out of the alley one after another in silence. Iki Hiyori briefly recognized the two sides, and when he was about to walk in the direction of the store he knew, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Huh? Isn't that the Lord God from before..."
She saw a figure appearing on the other side of the street that was also not too familiar, but had a very deep impression. It was another god that night.
"Oh, it's quite a coincidence..." Yadou glanced at it, then nodded, disapprovingly.
There is nothing to be surprised about. After all, everyone has been moving around this place during this time, so it is normal for them to bump into each other right now.
"Then let's call him together... and ask him what he wants to do by the way." Hiyori Ichi thought for a while and said.
She heard Yadou talk about the horror of obsolescence, and she also knew that the city where she lived had been experiencing such phenomena recently, and it was probably inseparable from this god.
Although it didn't spread every time, unlike the famous example Yato said, some tragic disasters caused by failure to suppress some timely changes, it still made the girl feel frightened.
She had wanted to ask him about it for a long time, but she hadn't seen him since that day, so there was nothing she could do. Now that she finally met by chance, she immediately took decisive action.
"Hey, isn't this an offering to me?" Yadou was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's back as she trotted over, unable to react.
"This...this...hey! Wait a minute!"
Moving forward quickly to catch up, Iki Hiyori waved forward repeatedly. He wanted to speak but found that he had forgotten the other person's name as soon as the words came to his lips. He didn't know what to call, so he could only shout anxiously.
"Oh, it's you...what's the matter?"
If the person in front of him noticed it, he turned around and saw Iki Hiyori. He seemed to have thought about it. He stopped and waited patiently for the girl to catch up. At the same time, he casually complained:
"My name is not Hey, my name is Chu Yu...ahem, I should have told you my name that day."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Mo... I didn't think of it for a moment." The girl felt a little guilty. She knew the name clearly, but it was really embarrassing that the matter was stuck in her mouth.
"Is there something wrong?" Gu Mo looked at her calmly, glanced at Ya Dou who came up behind, and asked knowingly.
They probably thought it was a chance encounter, but in fact it was not, but a coincidence deliberately created by Gu Mo himself.
Because he remembered that it was approaching exam week, and the god seemed to ask Yato for help with something. If he wanted to build a relationship with Takamagahara, this was probably a good opportunity.
He didn't know the specific date, but he only knew that it was during this period, and in the original plot, Hiyori Kazuki was also present, indicating that it should be a day off and there was no need to go to school...
Based on these clues, he probably confirmed the time, so he deliberately came out to create a chance encounter today... As for what if it is not a rest day? Gu Mo said that this problem was not a problem at all.
——If it’s not this day off, then we can continue to meet by chance on the next day off.
"This... this... thank you very much for what happened that day. I want to treat you to a meal and express my feelings..." Ichihiwa racked his brains and carefully organized his words.
"Well, it's actually nothing. You don't need to eat..." Gu Mo blinked. This suggestion was very good and exactly what he wanted, but he couldn't act so eager.
"Yes, yes, he may have something to do, so don't disturb others..." Yadou walked over and nodded repeatedly. He felt that Yiqi Rihexin was dishonest. He clearly promised to enshrine him, so why? On the way, I was ready to pick up this person again.
It is so insincere to offer one sacrifice to two gods!
"No, it's not... me. I mainly have something else I want to ask, please." Ichihiwa waved his hands anxiously and bowed deeply at the same time, indicating that he was making a very serious request.
"..."
"..."
"That's it... let's go then. Where are we going?" Gu Mo thought for a moment and nodded.
Ichikazu let out a long sigh of relief, and asked happily: "Master Mo...well, and Yadou, what do you want to eat? You decide, I should be fine."
After all, she is a rich woman, and her family owns a hospital, so she feels confident in saying this.
"Hey..." Yadou looked unhappy next to him. He felt the obvious difference in treatment. Even if Yiqi Riwa finally looked at him in time and included him in the questioning, he still felt like attached.
Is it an illusion?
However, looking at the girl's expression, she showed no intention of introspection. Yato could only mutter dissatisfiedly: "Then I want to eat well, I want to eat a big meal, I want to eat hard food..."
"Oh, then I'm just the opposite. My stomach and intestines are not very good. The doctor said it's best to eat soft food." Gu Mo said calmly.
