In Yokohama, there is actually a very old legend. If you are an old man who has experienced the defeat of the Showa War, you should remember the story about the "earth spirit" in Yokohama.

Before Yokohama Port 21 was built, before the international terminal was built, and long before the red brick warehouse appeared, there were rumors that the city had a patron saint.

The decadence and chaos of Yokohama after the defeat is unimaginable. People are struggling in the scorched-earth city, and the first thing they do when they open their eyes every day is to think about the whereabouts of food for today.

The shadow of the bomber has not faded away, and the missing 150 relatives and friends are suppressed in the hearts of every citizen, probably because they are too tired and desperate,

Slowly, Yokohama people began to conceive of gods.

At that time, people still had a deep yearning for the land, so they conceived a god called "Earth Spirit".

They jokingly circled a place in the center of Yokohama, agreeing that this place is the residence of the gods—there is no torii, no shrine, just empty ruins, and they decided rashly.

More and more citizens who are unwilling to bear the pain and bear the memories come here, like throwing garbage, and can't wait to throw the pain of losing their loved ones, the confusion and numbness of the future here.

——If you feel pain, let the gods bear it.

——If you can’t make a decision, then let the gods decide.

Give it all to the gods, and let the gods digest it for them.

This is how "Yokohama Land Spirit" was born.

And this open space, along with the belief in the so-called "Earth Spirit", has gradually become an unowned land. Knowing the inside story and even being one of them, the person in power subconsciously avoided the development of this area.

An absurd joke that has continued to this day.

Until those believers grow old and more and more young people who believe in science grow up, they have no interest in this kind of old-fashioned stories passed down by word of mouth, and naturally they will not let a piece of golden land in the city center be in vain. waste.

But building bricks and tiles on the god's residence, this kind of blasphemy, is also an inevitable result of bad luck.

Rather, it's just bad luck, enough to see how kind this god is.

But to this day, those aging believers have gradually forgotten God and abandoned their original agreement, but their responsibilities have not stopped.

........................

At the end of the road paved by the light of fireflies, Shuri saw a tree.

This tree is huge, and the crown alone occupies one-third of the space. The roots of the tree are intertwined and deeply penetrated into the soil in the dark, and strands of light are drawn out and sent to the trunk.

Zhu Li raised his head and stared at the giant tree seriously. After a long time, the boy squatted down and reached out to touch the soil at the root of the tree. The seemingly solid ground instantly withered like sand and dissipated into light spots.

At this time, if you look up carefully, you will find that the tree looks lush and lush, but in fact there are many withers hidden between the branches. Only the ones close to the main trunk are still barely maintaining a vibrant green.

And this is already the result of Shumai's best efforts.

it is as expected.

Zhu Li pursed his lips tightly, unbearable emotion flashed in his cold pupils, the next second, the boy restrained the emotion in his eyes, he stood up, and pressed his hand on the trunk of the big tree in front of him.

"It's our first meeting, [Yokohama Earth Spirit], the Goddess of Rage God and Witch Kamijuri, is invited to come."

The giant tree is the spirit of the earth, and the soil at the root of the tree is the belief of believers.

And this tree will soon dissipate.

The gentle spiritual power flowed into the tree trunk along Zhu Li's palm, and half of the withered giant trees trembled slightly, gaining a short life.

The canopy of the ancient giant tree lit up, and in the light that could almost illuminate half of the pitch-black space, a figure resembling a human floated out of the giant tree and appeared in front of Zhu Li.

The dazzling light faded away, revealing branch-shaped hair and a ten-centimeter-tall villain.

...Well, the land spirit of Yokohama is a loli ten centimeters tall.

Zhu Li looked at the earth spirit in front of him, feeling complicated for a while.

The ten-centimeter tall Loli Diling opened her eyes, and when she saw the boy clearly, the eyebrows of the thin branches raised fiercely, and she spoke in an imposing manner,

"It's too slow, Miko! You're procrastinating, how long are you going to make me wait!"

Paji, the image of a wise old man with a white beard shattered in the boy's imagination of Yokohama.

Zhu Li's long silence made Di Ling's prestige unbearable, and he couldn't help but move a little closer.

"En? Why don't you speak? It would be rude to be in a daze without authorization. Hey... talk, hey!"

Unwilling to be ignored, Earth Spirit crossed his hips, circled the boy like bees, and stretched out his small hand to pull the boy's long hair while making a loud noise.

He was full of energy, and he didn't look like he was about to dissipate at all.

There was a buzzing in his ears, and Zhu Li grabbed the earth spirit that was running around, and put the earth spirit carefully on the raised ground amidst the other party's protest of "too rude, how dare you disrespect me". On the root of the tree, he also sat down cross-legged.

The tree root under Di Ling's buttocks swayed, and using the branch as a seat, he dragged the god on Loli's appearance to the same height as Zhu Li's gaze.

"Then, what is Master Earth Spirit trying to do to lure me here?"

Holding his chin with one hand, Zhu Li turned his head to look at the strange god with an angry expression, "You made the commission from Yuko, didn't you, and you gave Yuko the compass?"

"Well……!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, they would be choked up by the details of the earth spirit, and turned their eyes away in guilt, not daring to look into Zhu Li's eyes.

The dark-haired boy was a little surprised.

Having existed for nearly a hundred years, Zhu Li really didn't expect that the god who bears and digests negative emotions is actually a character with a guilty conscience towards the person he takes advantage of.

"I... I," Diling Loli held back for a long time, but couldn't bear to apologize, so she dryly chose other words,

"The commission is indeed mine, but... the compass is none of my business!"

"If it wasn't for that strange dimensional witch who suddenly appeared and said that there was a way to save the child, I would have agreed to entrust...there would be no other messy routines of yours!"

While talking, Di Ling suddenly folded his hands on his chest and muttered angrily. It was obvious at a glance that this deceitful character was often bullied by a bad-hearted dimensional witch.

"...that child?" The black-haired boy keenly grasped the key points in the words.

Earth Spirit was silent for a while, and he stared at Zhu Li for a moment as if thinking sideways, before carefully taking out something from his arms,

"That's the kid."

The black-haired boy lowered his gaze, it was a small seedling.

Judging from the appearance, it should have just been born from the seed not long ago. In such an environment, it can still survive...

Zhu Li suddenly understood whose masterpiece he was in the darkness and heard the sound of water drops.

"This child is a seed, a dependent that was born with great difficulty in this land."

"A very rare, very pure precious thing... like a child."

The little earth spirit held the same tiny seedling and said, "But this child was born in such a dark place, without sunlight or rain... If you leave it alone, it will die."

"Then why don't you send it out yourself?" Zhu Li asked softly.

"I can't do it," the earth spirit said sadly with his shoulders slumped, "I am the earth spirit here, and I bear the wishes of believers, so I can't leave..."

can't leave...

God Zhu Li was silent.

The boy raised his head back and looked at the half-withered tree above his head.

It is said that it is a god, but it has been staying in this darkness for 100 years, and it has grown to this scene with the negative emotions of human beings as nourishment.

But in the end, because of the withering of faith, even if it dies or dissipates, it cannot leave here.

——Is this really a god?

Or is it just another form of earthbound spirit?

"Is it just such a simple wish?"

"It will disappear soon, don't you want to develop new believers and exist for a long time?"

Zhu Li looked at the god on Lori's appearance, and the name of the strange god in his mouth changed.

"Eh? For a long time? I don't want such a troublesome thing." Loli's godly face showed deep disgust, but she carefully put the seedling back into the god's core for warming.

"Kamigami Shuri, have you seen the map of Yokohama?"

The little god was sitting on a branch, kicking back and forth with his dangling legs in a playful manner. With his chin resting on his hands, he looked at the darkness in front of him, and seemed to see a farther place through the darkness.

His voice was extremely calm, and the arrogance on the outside faded away, revealing the wisdom in line with the years,

"On the map of Yokohama, there are no gods, only people who are constantly changing from generation to generation."

"Since I was born, I have seen today. The mountains and rivers have been sharpened, and the years have passed. One day, human beings will completely forget the gods and walk on their own."

"When that time comes—"

Di Ling turned his head and smiled at Zhu Li, "Witch, disappearance is not scary to me, it's just an inevitable outcome—it's just a day earlier or a day later."

Therefore, before dissipating, if you can save another seed, you should be worthy of the responsibility of the gods.

Shenshang Zhu Li suddenly stood up from the ground without warning, and the arc of movement was so wide that Di Ling was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, are you leaving?"

Di Ling came back to his senses, took out the seedling and handed it to Zhu Li: "It's been a long time since I talked to anyone like this, um, it feels pretty good. Then this child, I'll leave it to you."

Zhu Li glanced at the seedlings handed to him, raised his head and smiled slightly in anticipation from the gods, "I refuse."

"Oh, eh... eh?!!!"

"Why!"

The god didn't react for a while, and after a daze, he found that the priestess actually turned around and left without showing any sympathy.

"Wait, stop!"

The little god panicked, and hurriedly took the seedling back, grabbed Zhu Li's hair with both hands and pulled it back, trying to delay the boy's departure.

"Yes, is it because I arrested you suddenly? Or my previous temptation...I apologize! Because I was a little afraid that the one I found was a liar, so...!"

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The Earth Spirit really panicked. His time is running out. If the witch in front of him leaves, the next reliable candidate...he may not be able to wait.

"This child...at least bring this child..." God's voice was choked with sobs.

As he exited near the exit, Zhu Li stopped in his tracks.

"As for the seeds, you should take them out by yourself."

The witch's soft voice came from the front, and at the same time, as Zhu Li's voice fell to the ground, a huge explosion sounded in the outside world.

Even the dark space where one person and one god resided trembled unsteadily.

"What, what's going on—?!"

Earth Spirit raised his head in panic, obviously the lemon spirit who threw the bomb had already been imprisoned in the mirror space by him, why would he—!

Did it fail... In the end, He still didn't save any of them...

Di Ling let go of the hands holding Zhu Li's hair.

Bang, boom, boom.

Deafening explosions sounded continuously above their heads, and finally, a corner of this dusty dark space was violently blasted open by an outsider.

A ray of light shone down from the collapsed place.

Zhu Li, the god, turned around and looked at the devastated Earth Spirit tenderly: "Human beings will no longer need gods one day, and their past should be borne by themselves."

"Your duty is over."

ended……?

Loli looked at the priestess in a daze with a godlike appearance, and a strange emotion emerged from the bottom of her heart and spread all over her body.

In the ever-collapsing darkness, the black-haired priestess stood under the light, reaching out to the little god,

"So, why don't you take a look together? The sunshine outside."

"It's sunny in Yokohama today."

The author has something to say:

Known clues:

The spirit of the earth is divine, looking domineering

Actually very bullying

Juri's position
