Looking at Rei nestling in Kanako's arms and eating berries, Suwako curled her lips in displeasure.
"They are in cahoots with each other."
She whispered quietly.
He sat next to Nanxing.
This is a very interesting scene.
It's roughly equivalent to exchanging daughters.
……
Kanako is back.
Of course we have to start eating again.
Compared to the freedom in Edo Castle, where you can do whatever you want.
Here, Li appears to be quite polite.
——To put it bluntly, she came here as a guest.
Although theoretically speaking, Shinano Province already belongs to their family's sphere of influence.
There are also many ninjas wearing frog forehead protectors in Ina Castle and Suwa Castle, who continuously provide faith for Suwako Noriya.
But compared to Musashi Province, which has become the "hometown of ninja", this place is still different after all.
"What have you been busy with recently?"
Nanxing raised his glass and took a sip with Kanako.
She is the real master of Shinano Province.
Even Suwako, who had turned her life around, had to submit to her and become the "vice-lord" with real power but no title.
At the same time, for Nanxing, the divine combination of Yasaka Kanako and Suwako Miyako is not only his "neighbors" but also his most important allies.
Plus there is Yuuka Kazami in Kai Province.
——The three forces are adjacent to each other and support each other. If one of them is in trouble, the other two can immediately support it.
At that time, facing the situation of being surrounded by the three families, even if the gods on Takamagahara came, I am afraid they would not be able to escape death.
Of course, having said this, it actually sounds a bit like "worrying about nothing".
After all, the gods have disappeared and don't easily interfere in worldly affairs.
And Feng Jianyouxiang is a stay-at-home person. She spends her days planting flowers, drinking tea, and cultivating her body and mind. She has long since ignored the fighting and killing in the world.
Yasaka Kanako and Okiya Suwako are only interested in making money (faith) and will not easily come into conflict with other gods.
Therefore, the probability of a crisis occurring on either side is still very small.
but--
“No big deal.”
“But there are indeed some minor troubles.”
Yasaka Kanako said with some distress and drank the wine in the glass.
"My priest said that a guy who is deceiving people by claiming to be a god has appeared in Suwa Castle."
"A lot of people have been deceived."
"I wanted to investigate this matter - but the other party seemed very shrewd and did not leave any traces. There is no clue at all."
Kanako said so.
But his eyes couldn't stop glancing towards Suwako.
After hearing the whole story, Nanxing couldn't help but lower his head and look at the little frog sitting next to him, eating meat with relish.
"(⊙_⊙)?"
Feeling the sudden focus of attention on him, a look of confusion appeared on Qingwazi's face.
And when she understood the whole story:
"Hey, what do you mean?"
"You don't think I did this, do you?!"
……
Frog cleared himself of suspicion.
Although given her personality, it is really possible for her to do such a thing.
Moreover, with her abilities, she could have successfully eliminated her own clues after doing these things and not been discovered by Kanako.
But she has a very effective way to prove herself:
"I have no motive!"
She really had no motive.
As a god, Suwako Hashiya is not interested in human money.
She just needs faith to live.
Apart from that, even if it was a prank, it was just out of the desire to play a prank on someone.
Instead of cheating people out of their money.
"So what's the purpose of someone who does this? And where is he hiding?"
Nanxing tried to ask.
He asked the right person.
As the saying goes, use magic to fight magic.
It is difficult for someone as honest as Yasaka Kanako to accomplish anything against such a swindler.
If you want to ask, you have to ask Suwako Moriya, the black-bellied little loli who has lived from ancient times to the present.
"I can't tell you his purpose."
"But when it comes to him, no, should I say where is she?"
Suwako Kameya picked up the juice in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he asked Kanako to refill his cup with juice and nodded with satisfaction.
"friend."
She turned her head and looked at the statue of Suwa Daimyojin in the main hall.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
"!!!"
……
Nanxing suddenly felt that Suwako Hashimaya seemed to be telling a ghost story.
——It’s not just him.
Everyone, including Yasaka Kanako, felt a chill on their backs.
What kind of enemy could hide in the statue of Suwa Daimyojin?
"Um?!"
Yasaka Kanako tried to sense it.
But suddenly I realized (Ma Li), something seemed to be wrong.
"This breath is..."
Yasaka Kanako's expression suddenly became very strange.
how to say.
If we say that she was angry just now because she was played by the enemy.
Now she was like a broom that had just cleaned the toilet.
She suddenly felt a little regretful.
I regretted why I said so much and provoked this annoying guy.
Wouldn't it be better to let her stay in the shadows?
But now, it's too late to regret.
"Ah, have you been discovered?"
Suddenly, a playful voice came from the majestic statue.
The next moment, the "evil god" hidden in the statue lifted her cover and revealed her true appearance:
"I am Ebisu Kofuku, who brings good luck to others."
"Believe in me, and you will become rich if you believe in me!"
Chapter 15 The God of Disaster is not a Disaster
Ebisu.
This is the traditional Japanese god of fortune.
Its function is roughly equivalent to Hermes in Greek mythology.
He is the patron saint of commerce, fisheries, and workers.
He has a very wide range of faith among the people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the status of Ebisu God among the Japanese people is basically equivalent to the status of Mazu in the hearts of the people in the southeastern coastal areas of China.
Although he is not a very powerful god (compared to Haotian Shangdi/Amaterasu Omikami), he is deeply loved by people, and everyone who sees him will pay homage to him.
——After all, no one can resist money.
From kings and generals to peddlers and porters.
Even the homeless wanderers on the streets would give their last faith to this god who could bring them good luck.
But the problem now is:
"You're not Ebisu at all."
Nanxing took a look at the young goddess who suddenly emerged from the statue - her pink hair was very deceptive, and he couldn't help but think of the seemingly harmless Saigyouji Youyouko.
And the facts prove that she is indeed a "pink and black" god like Yuyuko.
"Ebisu-chan."
"He is the god of poverty who goes around cheating people under the name of Ebisu."
"Although I've heard of it before... 450... this is the first time I've actually seen it."
Yasaka Kanako said through gritted teeth.
It was obvious that she hated, yet was also afraid of, this god.
This is really something new.
You know, even if the enemy standing opposite is Takemikaze (the god of war of Takama-ga-hara), Yasaka Kanako can pick up the divine pillar and attack without even frowning.
Even her father, Okuninushi, the leader of the Izumo God, she dared to confront him directly without giving him any face.
However, there was only Xiaofu that she really didn't dare to mess with.
"Because if you come into contact with her, you will become unfortunate!!!"
Yasaka Kanako cried out in bad luck.
She didn't understand why she was favored by this unfortunate thing.
At the same time, Li was very curious.
"What's wrong with you?"
