I am recycling settings in the anime

There is no need to worry about Kagome. As long as it is not Yuyuko who takes action personally, even if the big monsters among the Kyoto monsters come, Hanakaiin Hidemoto will have a way to escape from them, so Fang Yi does not need to worry at all. Besides, Tokyo is his own territory. Although he and Kotoko have left, Huashan is still there, and the great barrier of Gensokyo is in Tokyo. With the people of Gensokyo as invisible allies, and the people of Hell can come to help at any time, if the Kyoto monsters really come, they will all die.

Therefore, Fang Yi must be more careful when doing things outside than before.

His own strength is indeed very strong, but Fang Yi also knows that he is not free from worries in this world. He also does not want his rash actions to result in the death of innocent people, so everything needs to be investigated thoroughly before anything else.

However, Fang Yi still felt the breath of the witch appearing under the night sky.

After feeling the breath of the witch, Fang Yi directly pulled Qinzi out.

Then, Fang Yi saw the scene in front of him... the scene of the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine subduing demons.

"Does the owner intend to act according to this miko's plan?"

"It's a good plan. Seal the monsters created by these ghost stories one by one and lure the mastermind to unseal them. However, with the power of that miko, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to seal them. The ghost story of the evil centipede on this note didn't last long. After it formed into a monster, the miko still couldn't completely seal it. The monster would find a loophole and take advantage of it to launch a sneak attack. Then those monsters with even stronger malice won't be so easy to seal."

As he said this, Fang Yi's eyes flickered with a gleam of light, and he slowly revealed his worries about himself.

"Also, there's another serious problem. What if the mastermind behind this doesn't really care about these ghost stories being sealed? That would be a bit of a headache. After all, ghost stories can be spread again..."

Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head, a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes.

"No, it's not that simple. We weren't here when the first ghost stories were spread, so naturally we don't understand them. But based on the current situation, there are several steps for ghost stories to become monsters. First, the ghost stories spread. Then, when the fear of the monsters is not enough, they create murders similar to those in the ghost stories. After all these steps are completed, the fear accumulated in people's hearts gradually creates a new monster."

Although she didn't finish her words, Fang Yi already understood what Qinzi wanted to express.

"If they ignore the seals, they'll inevitably create a brand new ghost story to accomplish their own goals. Creating a ghost story is a complex process, so they'll inevitably reveal their true colors. We'll just have to seize those flaws. And if they're determined to investigate the seals, they'll undoubtedly attack them. At that point, we'll just have to find a way to find them, and everything will naturally resolve itself. Am I right, Kotoko?"

"As expected of the owner, you understand my thoughts very well."

Iwanaga Kotoko jumped onto Fang Yi, her face full of joy.

Although she knew that she had said it so clearly, the owner of the museum could easily hear it.

But even so, Iwanaga Kotoko was still very happy that her master could speak out what she said.

"Then, Master, shall we visit Moriya Shrine tomorrow?"

"No, maybe we can get in touch with them in advance."

Fang Yi's words startled Iwanaga Kotoko for a moment, and before she could react, he immediately stopped Kotoko behind him.

I saw a giant snake coming directly towards Fang Yi, carrying with it the terrifying power of faith.

At this time, Fang Yi pulled out the Ghost Cut from his waist and swung it directly at the giant snake in front of him.

The dazzling light instantly turned into an aurora across the sky. The atmosphere was completely torn apart, and even the space let out bursts of wails, with a hint of the breath of hell. However, the ground rumbled, and stone pillars began to appear on the ground filled with terrifying faith, directly blocking the giant snake and completely stopping the sword light swung by Fang Yi.

The terrifying impact fell on the stone pillars, tearing them into pieces of rubble that fell down with a crash.

And under the cover of rubble, the giant snake had already arrived in front of Fang Yi.

However, after reacting, a fierce look flashed in Qinzi's eyes.

"Snow Girl, lend me your power!"

As she said this in her mind, Iwanaga Kotoko swung the cane in her hand, and a terrifying cold air swept away.

Under the sweeping cold wind, the giant snake's huge body was gradually covered by ice. The body that was originally rushing forward was abruptly stopped in the air, and its eyes were staring at Fang Yi with deep astonishment.

As Fang Yi swung the Ghost Cut in his hand, he directly tore the giant snake covered with ice apart.

Blood spurted out from the wound and dripped onto the ground like a bloody rain.

However, after the giant snake was completely torn apart, its body gradually turned into golden light and disappeared into the atmosphere.

The blood spilled onto the earth seemed to have turned into nutrients that nourished the land. After dripping into the earth, there was no sign of staining it red. On the contrary, the ground seemed to come alive, completely different from the original dry and cracked ground.

Gradually, after the giant snake disappeared, a short figure gradually came into the eyes of Fang Yi and Qinzi.

After seeing the figure clearly, Qinzi's face suddenly showed a look of deep astonishment.

"This is... a spirit, and it also has the aura of faith. Could it be..."

"One of the eight million gods... Kashiya Suwako... the deity of Moriya Shrine. She once ruled the Suwa region with fear. However, she was defeated by Yamato-gami in the Battle of Suwa, and her shrine was taken away. However, since they couldn't take away the local faith, they collaborated to establish the current Moriya Shrine."

As he spoke, Fang Yi couldn't help but glance at the ground, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

After killing the giant snake summoned by the other party, the blood can be used to nourish the earth. He clearly possesses such power, but in modern society, he still cannot gain faith, even to the point of entering Gensokyo...

Although the technology in the outside world is indeed advanced, I always feel that something is a little weird.

But then again, people are realistic. In modern society, there are almost no people who can see Suwako, because the other party is a god, and is essentially a spirit. Unless you have special abilities, you cannot see Suwako. So in the eyes of others, even if you really benefit from Moriya Shrine, it is because of Sanae who is doing practical things, not the so-called god.

This is probably why both Kanako and Suwako lacked faith, while Sanae gained faith in modern times.

And Xieya Suwako was looking at Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko with a serious look, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Time flies... When did the Kyuubiko shrine maiden acquire such bizarre abilities? She can even draw upon the powers of the monsters around her. I've never heard of that before! And then there's this human..."

"Hey! Boy, why do you possess a purifying power almost identical to that of that miko Tsuiko? And you also possess the power of Hell... Two completely opposite powers combined into one person. Are you some kind of patchwork freak?"

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Fang Yi's face.

"You know Tsuiko? Oh, that's right. After all, she's an old antique who has lived from the Age of Gods. It's normal for her to know her."

"... Can you please speak more politely? What do you mean by an old antique?"

"Then how about I call you... Little Loli?"

"...You should just call me an old antique."

After a moment's silence, Suwako's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Seeing the relationship between Iwanaga Kotoko and Fang Yi clearly, she felt that it would be better for the other party to call her an antique.

I always feel that if someone calls me "little loli", I will be in danger in various ways.

Chapter 126 Fang Yi: This is a free trip to the gods' house! How can I miss it!

The initial tense atmosphere between Fang Yi and Suwako completely dissipated with this conversation between the two.

Although Suwako attacked Fang Yi directly at the beginning, both Fang Yi and Kotoko could feel that the other party had no ill intentions. Both Fang Yi and Kotoko could react quickly to an attack of that level.

Moreover, the giant snake was formed only by the power of Suwako, and it contained the power that nourishes the earth.

If they really wanted to target Fang Yi and Qinzi, the creature they summoned would definitely not be of this level.

"Hehe~~~ Don't underestimate me, miko over there. That look of yours is quite rude, you know? How could I possibly be the legendary god with this look? After all, I was once the god that reigned over the Suwa region, overseeing the astonishingly religious "Suwa Myojin". If I were to deal with you, I definitely wouldn't attack you with the intensity of what I just did. I would directly summon the "Suwa Myojin" that I'm in charge of, and then deal with you. I just let you go."

With a meaningful smile, Suwako Kashiya put her hands on her hips, looking extremely proud.

Although I lack faith now, the majesty that gods should have is still there, at least at this time.

Just like now, she deliberately put on a majestic attitude towards Iwanaga Kotoko.

Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko showed a hint of apology and realized that her look was a little too rude.

"I'm sorry, Suwako-sama. I'm just a little surprised that Suwako-sama is acting like this..."

"It's because you're a divine spirit. As one of eight million divine spirits, you don't possess a basic soul. You're made up of pure faith. If your faith were full, you might appear even more full-bodied. But because you're so lacking in faith right now, your size has shrunk as well, right?"

Fang Yi's overly direct words made Suwako's body suddenly stiffen and her face became a little ugly.

This guy...why does he have to be so direct? Doesn't he know that this is very embarrassing for an old comrade?

A hint of curiosity also appeared on Iwanaga Kotoko's face, and she couldn't help but look at Suwako.

"The gods who once ruled a country have lost their faith to this extent?"

"Isn't this quite normal? Kotoko, you have a former snake god beside you, right? Now he's lost his faith and turned into a pure snake demon. Gods and spirits can no longer survive in the modern world. Monsters are okay, they can create some supernatural events to frighten people and gain the necessary fear, but creatures like gods... are different."

Many gods and spirits were born out of people’s belief in the phenomena of heaven and earth.

For example, Suwako standing in front of you holds the power over the earth. She can create fertile land, or she can turn a fertile land into a barren land filled with death. However, with the deconstruction of mystery by science, many unknown phenomena now have a scientific explanation. People can even create artificial rain and even lightning. The natural disasters that people feared in the past now have the ability to be warned. This is undoubtedly the greatest damage to gods and spirits.

"In a sense, it's much more difficult for gods and spirits to gain people's faith than it is for monsters to gain people's respect."

"Young man, you're quite knowledgeable. Just as you said, in today's world, we gods have retired. Look, even our own miko has to come out in person to make sure the other party hasn't been hurt, like we are doing now."

Sighing deeply, Suwako Xieya looked directly at Fang Yi and Kotoko Iwanaga, then bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

"Also, thank you so much for what happened just now. If it weren't for Mr. Fang Yi's help, Sanae would have been injured."

Although if I had taken action just now, Sanae's disaster would have been resolved in minutes, but... my own strength would definitely have some impact. I am already in a state of lack of faith. Don't forget that she still needs to rely on sleep to maintain her existence and save her strength. If I still take action, it will definitely have a great impact on her faith.

And that huge evil centipede just now...if I were to fight with it, it would definitely take some effort.

At least compared to testing Fang Yi, it will definitely take a lot of energy.

Hearing this, Fang Yi shook his head, and the note tightly held in his hand made Suwako slightly stunned.

"Nothing, I got some things I wanted, so now I don't have to sort it out."

After seeing the note in Fang Yi's hand, Suwako couldn't help but move closer and her eyes fell on the note.

"Aren't these the ghost stories Sanae compiled? How did they end up in your hands? It seems you're also going to investigate this matter. Why don't you come to Moriya Shrine and visit? You guys aren't from Nagano Prefecture, are you? You'd have to find a place to stay here, wouldn't that be a waste of money? Why don't you just stay with us for the time being and investigate with Sanae?"

Suwako's invitation made Fang Yi raise his eyebrows slightly, and a strange look gradually appeared on his face.

You said it was a waste of money for me to find a place to live here, but you seem to be in the same boat, aren't you? You're not very considerate of your own miko. It's already a headache for her schoolgirl to support you two, and now you want us to come over and disturb her. Is that really okay?

"Is it really okay to disturb Suwako-sama's shrine like this? The shrine maiden there is probably still a student. We plan to stay in Nagano for quite some time, so wouldn't this be a bit of a hassle? The owner and I have already found a place to stay, but we just happened to sense someone fighting a youkai, so we came to check it out. There's really no need to cause such a fuss."

It was not Fang Yi who brought up this matter, but Iwanaga Kotoko.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes. In fact, if it was any other monster or other person who said this, it would be fine, but the one who said this happened to be Suwako, a god. Even though faith is missing now, the other party is still one of the eight million gods, and according to what the owner of the museum said, there should be a Yamato god in the Moriya Shrine.

In other words, there are two gods staying in Moriya Shrine?

————This is a bit overwhelming for me!

After all, she is a god of wisdom worshipped by monsters through formal rituals.

As someone who transformed from a human into a god, how could I not feel pressured when I met two real gods?

However, Suwako shook her head, patted Iwanaga Kotoko's shoulder and said.

"Don't worry too much. Moriya Shrine still has a lot of customers and donations. At least its business is doing well, so it's not so bad that it can't afford to entertain two guests. And if possible, I hope you can go with Sanae to investigate the incident in Nagano Prefecture. That way, I can rest assured about Sanae's safety."

That’s right, her response to Fang Yi and Qinzi’s invitation was more out of her concern for Sanae.

This actually caused a look of surprise to appear on Iwanaga Kotoko's face.

"Moriya Shrine still has many customers and donations? Then why is the faith still... Wait! Could it be..."

"That's not the one. Don't forget, Kotoko, that miko over there is a real god."

Fang Yi's words made Kotoko look at Suwako with sympathy.

From this perspective, Lady Suwako is quite... sympathetic. In the past, her country was invaded, and after being defeated, she had no choice but to cooperate with the enemy to build the Moriya Shrine. But now, in modern times, her health is getting worse day by day due to lack of faith, but her own shrine maiden has helped those believers, and those believers only believe in her and not the gods of the Moriya Shrine?

Aren't you bullying Suwako because she can't appear in front of these people in person?

Suwako shrugged helplessly, but there was no resentment on her face, only endless doting.

"It can't be helped, but my Sanae is able to become a living god in modern society, which proves that her professional ability as a shrine maiden is quite good. Hehehe~ This is the shrine maiden that Kanako and I trained together!"

There was a strong sense of pride in Suwako's words, and she put on a very happy look in front of Fang Yi and Kotoko.

It must be said that his calm and relaxed manner of speaking made Fang Yi and Qinzi's eyes light up.

Looking at Sanae who was slowly flying towards the Moriya Shrine, Fang Yi's eyes flashed with thought.

Then, Fang Yi gave Iwanaga Kotoko a direct look.

"Since you have extended such a gracious invitation, Suwako, we will respectfully obey."

"After all, how could we miss out on a place where we can get something for free, especially at the home of a god!"

Fang Yi's last sentence almost made Qinzi stumble and fall, with a speechless look on her face.

The owner of the museum must have learned bad things from that cunning guy from Nura family.

Chapter 127: This is the first time I have seen a witch dare to question her own god like this.

"I'm back, Kanako-sama... Eh? You haven't slept yet, Kanako-sama."

Sanae walked slowly in from outside the shrine with a tired body, with a hint of helplessness flickering in her eyes.

According to her own estimation, she was going to completely seal at least half of the monsters in the ghost stories tonight. However, she didn't expect that she would only solve one ghost story tonight and then she would have no strength left.

It's not that I'm completely exhausted, I just want to continue searching for the monsters in the strange tales, but -

The note was gone, and the thought of having to rewrite these ghost stories on paper made Sanae lose all her energy.
