Summoning the shikigami of Konoha

"Garden" Ichimokuren looked around and at Kaguya next to Katsuragi, and then introduced himself: "I am Ichimokuren."

Then he continued to ask: "Why am I here? I should be at the shrine."

"I summoned you."

Katsuragi explained to Ichimura: "I can randomly summon some monsters here. This ability is uncontrollable, so I summoned you."

"A monster?"

Suddenly, Ichimokuren looked down at himself, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, as if he was a little lost and sad. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Gui Mu and asked, "Then can I still go back?"

"this"

Guimu struggled for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I don't know, I actually don't even understand how this place appeared."

"But I can assure you that when I figure out the reason for all this, I will definitely send you all back." Katsuragi assured Ichimokuren with a serious look on his face.

"Ah."

Looking at Katsuragi's appearance, Ichimoku didn't mind and nodded gently. Even if he became a monster, he would still have the same character as before.

"Hello, my name is Kaguya." Kaguya sat on the bamboo and said hello to Ichimuro. Ichimuro's temperament is naturally popular with people.

"Hello"

Ichimokuren smiled and nodded at Kaguya, then looked at Katsuragi and asked: "Are you a human? Are there no other humans here except you?"

"It's like this in the courtyard." Gui Mu nodded: "Only I can come here, the rest are monsters, but there is another place where there are many humans."

"I summon you to borrow your power to live better there."

Hearing Gui Mu's words, Ichimokuren immediately showed a caring look and asked: "Is it dangerous there?"

"Yeah" Guimu nodded, then smiled and comforted: "But with you here, I am already strong now, and self-protection is enough."

"Ichimulian, can I ask you a question?"

Gui Mu was not in a hurry to see Ichimuro's ability, but looked straight at him, wanting to understand something.

"You say it."

Ichimokuren nodded and looked at Katsuragi and replied.

"Do you remember all the previous memories?"

The reason why Gui Mu asked this was because he found that there seemed to be something in Ichimokuren's expression of loss and sadness when he heard that he was summoning a monster.

Ichimokuren was silent for a moment, looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "Do you want to hear a story?"

"Of course, my favorite thing is listening to stories."

This sentence was not said by Gui Mu, but Yan Yanluo who came out of nowhere. He came to the three of them with a sweet smile and said something. Then he looked at Ichimoku Lian and said, "Hello, my name is Yan Yanluo. , was also summoned by Guimu."

"Hello."

The gentle Ichimoku didn't even pay attention to Yan Yanluo's words. After responding, he started to talk.

"There was a small village at the foot of the mountain. People there often encountered natural disasters. Later, people heard that there were gods on the mountain, so they brought sacrifices to the mountain to worship the gods."

"Later, because of people's prayers, a god was formed. Although this god was very weak at the beginning, he still tried his best to help the villagers who prayed."

There was a smile on Ichimokuren's face, and it was obvious that he was very happy when recalling this time.

"Because of him, gradually, people became more and more convinced that the gods were protecting this place, and more and more tributes were given, and shrines and even shrines were built."

"His power has become stronger and stronger as a result."

Ichimokuren continued speaking slowly, with a look full of happy memories: "At that time, they built a wide road at the shrine and added lights beside the road. When someone wanted to pray, they would light up one by one. Light all the lamps and tell your wishes in the shrine."

"The gods will also do their best to fulfill people's requests. Being able to hear the voices of believers and see them happy is the happiest and happiest thing for this god."

"But then something happened that changed everything."

Ichimuro's eyes began to turn dim, and his expression was no longer as happy as before, and he whispered: "Once, there was continuous wind and rain for several days, and the flood was about to submerge the village at the foot of the mountain. The villagers came to the mountain to worship and pray to the gods. The gods can protect them."

"But the power controlled by this god is wind, not water. It was originally unable to resist the flood, but the wind god still forced the flood to change its course and ultimately protected the village."

"But the price is sacrificing one of my eyes."

"Ah" I heard the enchanted Kaguya scream in a low voice, and then said somewhat sadly: "What a great and kind god."

Ichimokuren looked at Kaguya with gentle eyes and continued to speak slowly: "When the disaster passed, because the flood was forcibly changed, the power of this god began to weaken and he was unable to help everyone as before, so people began to gradually forget about this This god slowly left there until the end.”

"The shrine was also gradually abandoned."

"How could this be like this?" Kaguya said angrily. She, who had always had a gentle personality, became angry for a rare moment. Yan Yanluo looked at Ichimura from the side. In fact, they all knew that Ichimura was talking about themselves.

"But the god has not forgotten his believers." Ichimokuren stared into the distance with gentle eyes: "He still walks on the road leading to the shrine every day, waiting for the arrival of believers."

"Day after day, year after year, I waited until the stone steps on the road were covered with moss, the shrine was covered with dust, and only one pillar remained in the originally magnificent shrine, but no one was waiting."

Katsuragi stared at Ichimuro, and he could feel Ichimuro's sadness. That feeling of long loneliness is unbearable for anyone. Kaguya and Yan Yanluo also remained silent, and the air was filled with Sad taste.

"In the end, without his followers, he also lost his qualifications as a god. In order not to disappear, he even degenerated into a monster and wanted to continue to protect that place."

Several people in the courtyard were silent, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing. The wind god in this story was obviously a kind and gentle god. He even sacrificed his own eyes for the villagers, but in the end he got this result.

"One eye even"

Suddenly, Gui Mu raised his head and said seriously: "Can I ask you something?"

"Guard this place"

Gui Mu immediately pointed to the courtyard and said: "I can build a new shrine for you here. Although I can't pray to you as often as your previous believers, I can talk to you as a friend."

"So, can you protect this place with me and everyone else?"

Looking at Guimu's solemn and serious eyes, Ichimoku was a little dazed. He didn't know what to say at this time.

"And we monsters don't forget things as easily as humans." Yan Yanluo also walked over with a sweet smile and said, "Although I don't like the word depravity used in your story, but You are indeed a god worthy of respect."

"Yes, Ichimuro. The monsters here are all very good. They will never be like those villagers." Kaguya also persuaded Ichimuro.
