"Please, free Hua from the curse, and if you can, free me from the curse as well."
"Please, if you can, please help the boss regain his past memories."
"Although I don't know if it will work, please bless me, gods and Buddhas of the energy points."
"At least let the boss see the message and come over so he can bless me and Hua."
Please, really...
"Help me."
Under the watchful eyes of the four down-on-his-luck samurai behind her, Yotsuya Miko, who had her eyes tightly shut, made a huge number of wishes before finally opening them.
At this time...
Yotsuya Miko belatedly realized...
Behind her, the down-on-his-luck samurai appeared without her noticing...
Two fox-faced priestesses dressed in red and white shrine maiden robes, their bodies...
It gleamed with a dim golden light.
It was exactly the same as the golden light she had seen on the cat demon, and the same as the golden light on the prayer beads she was wearing on her wrist.
Have there been more bad things?
Or...
Did my prayer come true?
These are messengers or something similar sent down by the gods.
Under the watchful eyes of Yotsuya Miko, who was pretending to admire the scenery, the fox-faced shrine maiden began fighting the down-on-his-luck samurai using what appeared to be Onmyōdō techniques.
Just when Yotsuya Miko thought she was about to be saved, one of the fox-faced shrine maidens was killed.
He rolled up the remaining half of the body and swallowed it.
It's definitely more reliable to find the boss.
That's a bit unfair to the shrine maiden and the gods, indeed. Yotsuya Miko had already grasped the ears of wheat and candy in her pocket.
Be ready to eat at any time.
at this time...
A fox, even larger than the fallen samurai, appeared and crushed him in an instant.
After speaking with the two resurrected priestesses in a completely incomprehensible language, he left behind the words "three times" and then disappeared.
she...
Were they saved by the gods?
In this world...
Do gods really exist?
Yotsuya Miko was now completely baffled.
14. Should we call for help? Ask me.
After pondering for a moment, Sakurai narrowed his eyes slightly.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
A short while later...
Sakurai then looked at Yotsuya Miko, who seemed a little restless.
"Photos, show me the photos."
Sakurai tapped the table and repeated himself.
"Didn't you say that when that 'great fox,' who might be a god, killed the down-on-his-luck samurai, your friend happened to take a picture with you?"
She should have sent you a copy.
This guy seems a bit too strong.
That guy, Aragami, was left far behind.
Could it be another powerful being, perhaps a god?
What happened? What's going on...?
Why have I been going against God all this time?
But maybe this is just me...
An anomaly who opposes the gods.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko on the verge of tears, Sakurai, his brows furrowing involuntarily, began to think.
What should we do next?
According to Yotsuya Miko, she said during her prayer that she would do anything to make her wish come true.
This is tantamount to selling yourself to this fox.
What an incompetent assistant, saying things like that so casually.
You're just a fool who only causes me trouble.
Sakurai took a breath, suppressing the urge to flick Yotsuya Miko's forehead.
Considering that Yotsuya Miko had no other choice under those circumstances, I reluctantly forgave her this once.
It wasn't because she didn't forget to pray for me at that time.
After a brief moment of arrogance, Sakurai refocused on the main topic.
Now that it's over...
It seems I have no choice but to go and see the unscrupulous merchant.
Sakurai's gaze turned somewhat serious as he carefully examined the large golden fox that served as the background of the photograph.
If you're going to fight an enemy of this caliber, you can't do it without the necessary intelligence.
Taking a deep breath, Sakurai narrowed his eyes slightly as he made the decision.
But before that...
We need to give that clueless assistant a good talking-to first.
then...
What Yotsuya Miko, who had been eagerly waiting, heard was Sakurai finally managing to utter this one sentence.
"Nice composition?"
"Yuri Kawakami, right? Your friend took some great photos."
Under Yotsuya Miko's expectant gaze, Sakurai carefully examined the photos for a while before making this assessment.
"Boss???"
Yotsuya Miko looked completely bewildered. Sakurai had come to this conclusion after watching for so long.
"Okay..."
"Kidding."
"Remember, if something happens next time and you can't contact me, don't run around aimlessly. I'll send you the map of the underworld in the Tokyo area later."
“Those guys owe me some favors, more or less. If something happens, I’ll go to them.”
Sakurai's expression turned serious after giving Yotsuya Miko a piece of advice.
"remember?"
"As I said, one of your salaries is that you can ask me for help once a quarter."
"So, should we call for help?"
"For your own sake, and for your best friend's safety, are you going to waste this precious opportunity to ask me for help?"
Sakurai looked at Yotsuya Miko and asked her softly.
"Of course I would, please, boss..."
Please help me.
After Sakurai said that, Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered what Sakurai had said back then.
Those were the words she uttered after the boss introduced her to the businessman.
It's no surprise that Yotsuya Miko couldn't wait to say that.
"Great, I remember saying that whether or not to answer depends on your mood."
As he spoke, Sakurai saw Yotsuya Miko's wrinkled, anxious expression, as if she was about to cry.
Sakurai waved his hand, indicating that he should calm down and that he was just trying to ease the tension.
"Don't worry, I'm in a good mood right now."
"I have accepted your commission."
Sakurai snapped his fingers and smiled.
"Anyway, send me a copy of the photo. I'll need to investigate the specifics before I can confirm anything."
"I can be sure of one thing: that big fox is not a god."
"It's not some god that grants every wish; it definitely has some kind of 'ultimate intention' towards you or Yurikawa Hana."
"These kinds of beings always have a special 'fetish' for pure young girls."
As Sakurai said this, he looked at Yotsuya Miko, who was so anxious she was about to cry, and added another sentence.
"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll still be here for you."
"I'll handle it in seven days at most."
