"I'm going to the convenience store to buy some things first, please let us sit down and talk~"

After Dongyue finished speaking, she left on her own.Watching her back disappear into the crowd on the street, Yato, who had no time to stop Dongyue's movements, could only droop his shoulders.

"Hello..."

Yato almost wanted to sigh.

Neither Yato nor Yukine are from this shore, so their existence in the eyes of this shore is very rare.The vast majority of people on the other side automatically ignore Yato and Yukine, and treat existences like Yato and Yukine as backgrounds that do not need to be recognized.Although as long as Yato and Yukine take the initiative to greet people and attract others' attention, they can be recognized as "human beings" by others.But humans will soon forget existences like Yato and Yukine.

It is not difficult for Yato to find Dongyue again, but what Yato is worried about is that Dongyue who left without saying a word to him will forget about his affairs immediately.In that case, even if he went up to strike up a conversation, he would probably only be regarded as a strange person like a stalker and a guy.

"Isn't that good? Yatou, you didn't want to accept this commission, did you?"

In fact, Xueyin also disapproved of Yato's commission to take over Dongyue.

"But—"

Spreading his palm, looking at the five-yuan coin in his hand, Yato sighed again: "The fate has already been concluded, it's too late to say not to accept the entrustment..."

Hearing this, Xueyin also sighed: "Then what should we do? Let's go find that woman just now?"

"Please wait here for a moment, both of you. Master Dongyue will be back soon."

"Wow!!"

The sudden sound startled Yato.Turning back to follow the source of the sound, Yato saw Qiqi's figure.

"You, when were you there...!? No, wait... you are—"

Yato opened his blue eyes slightly.The "human" in front of him, whose gender could not be distinguished, whose face was so exquisite that it looked like a man-made object, clearly exuded the smell of something inhuman.The smell was somewhat similar to the smell emitted by monsters, but it was decisively different.As for the difference, even Yato, who is a god, can't express it well in words.

"I am the one who serves Lord Dongyue."

Qiqi is not surprised that Yato will have such a reaction to his voice.This was originally part of Dongyue's plan.Including calling Dongyue "Master Dongyue" is part of Dongyue's strategy.

(Alas... That girl Dongyue likes to do this kind of thing.)

He secretly scolded Dongyue for being cunning in his heart, but at the same time, he had an inexplicable sense of pride in such a cunning place as Dongyue.Qiqi didn't know what to call his behavior.

As a devil, he shouldn't have so many complicated and wonderful feelings.But before Kiki didn't know it, he experienced and developed too many emotions that only humans can have.And the most amazing thing is that Kiki doesn't hate his current self who is not as decisive as in the past.

"..."

Yato and Yukine looked at each other.I feel a little strange about Qiqi's behavior of wandering in the sky without any explanation after only introducing himself as "the person who serves 'Master Fuyutsuki'". .

Xueyin nodded to Yato, it was suitable for Yato to hurry up and talk to Qiqi.Yato had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I said—"

"I've been waiting for a long time~"

It's just that Yato's words had just started, and Dongyue, who was holding a plastic bag from the convenience store, had already walked back.

"There is a fairly quiet park in front, let's go there."

Cheering up to Yato with a smile, Fuyutsuki walked away without waiting for Yato's answer this time.

The thought of "as expected" flashed in my mind, Yato and Xueyin quickly followed Dongyue and Qiqi who automatically followed behind Dongyue.

"You, are you a god?"

Looking at the baby-faced Dongyue, Yato, who was walking beside Dongyue, did not use interrogative sentences, but used affirmative sentences.Although as a "god", Dongyue's aura is too weak.But in this regard, Yato is not much better than Dongyue.

——There are so many gods in Japan. Naturally, it is impossible for each of the 800 million gods to have the aura of Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning.With the gradual loss of human faith, more and more gods have lost their original power, and some gods have even completely disappeared.It is also reasonable that there will be gods like Dongyue who do not feel like "gods".

"Then this man and woman is your magic weapon."

Yato said and pointed to Qiqi who was following Dongyue.

"It's really impolite to call someone 'not a man or a woman', Yato-senpai."

Dongyue neither affirmed Yato's words nor denied Yato's words.She just changed her name to Yato as "Senior", and defended Yato: "Kiryu is a popular neutral beauty now. Don't be jealous of Kiryu who is popular with girls and boys just because she is not popular."

In Dongyue's memory, the artifacts in this world only had two-character names for the time being.In addition, only the artifact Nora with many names is called by Yato and "Father" with one word.Because the pronunciation of "Kiryu" in Japanese is similar to "Cheryl".So Dongyue asked Qiqi to temporarily use the name "Kiryu".

"Wow!"

Yato was obviously shocked by Dongyue's words, holding his chest with a "chest hurts!" expression on his face.

"Then what is the matter for you who are also gods and artifacts to come to us?"

Asking the question instead of the depressing god-sama at home, Xueyin went straight to the point.

"As I said just now, I have troubles. Because I want to ask Yato-senpai to help me solve my troubles, I came to Yato-senpai."

"..."

Dongyue could see his distrust from Xueyin's expression.But that's okay.From the very beginning, Dongyue didn't expect Yato and Xueyin to be kind to her.

"Then, my trouble is—"

Taking out a can of beer from the plastic bag in his hand and handing it to Yato, Dongyue smiled helplessly: "I don't know how to be a good god."

"What……?"

"Aha……"

Both Yato and Xueyin were taken aback, and then they looked at each other.

"I'm not a recorded orthodox god... No, it should be said that I'm not even sure if I'm a god."

Ten minutes later, Fuyutsuki sat on a bench under the shade of a tree in the park with Yato, Yukine, and Kiki.The broken sun of summer fell through the branches and leaves of the trees, making Dongyue narrow her eyes slightly.

"...Since you can notice us and hold the artifact, what else can you be if you are not a god?"

Yato asked while drinking the beer Dongyue bought.

"I do not know either."

Dongyue talked and smiled, looking at the can of cold beer in her hand that she hadn't drunk a few sips of.

"All I know is that people really want something from me."

"If you encounter a game that you can't pass, please come to me and ask, 'Master God, please let me pass this game! At least let me pass this level!'."

"Pray to me when you are about to lose in a battle with a friend 'God! Please give me a golden finger! Let me win!'."

"When playing games, some rare materials or precious props can't be found, swear to me 'Master God, let me get what I want! I will go to fulfill my wish! Whether it is [-] yen or [-] days I am willing to pay as much as [-] yuan for incense!'."

"Wow, what are the little devils thinking now? To pray to gods and worship Buddhas on this kind of thing...it's just ridiculous. Xueyin, don't you think so?"

Yato, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, hiccupped while talking.Although he is a god, and has drunk a lot of alcohol; Yato's resistance to alcohol is still very weak.

"I can understand the thoughts of these people. After all, games are already an inseparable daily life for many people. Besides, there is no shortage of people who take games too seriously and care about winning or losing in any era, right?"

Yukine was only 14 years old when she died as a human being.Already an artifact, he doesn't have to abide by the law that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. He doesn't drink purely because he doesn't want to drink.

"I, my family's Xueyin is really an adult..."

Hearing Yukine's serious expression, Yato sniffed emotionally.Treating Xueyin as a family member and always saying "my child is a genius!" He is not angry at Xueyin's refutation of his words, but is very happy that Xueyin can have his own opinions on things .

"Shut up for me!"

With a flush on her face, the shy Xueyin stretched out her hand to push away Yato who was leaning against her, and said to Dongyue again: "But I understand when you say that."

"Like Guigui, you are a god created by modern civilization."

Tilting his head, Yato, whose cheeks continued to be pushed out by Yukino's hand, seemed a little more awake.

"I'm afraid new gods like you will be the mainstream gods in the future."

Dongyue just smiled and said nothing.

"It's really scary...this Internet age. I don't know what kind of gods and monsters will be born from it....I hope it's not a troublesome guy."

A troublesome guy like my father.

Adding this sentence in his mind, Yato, who was tangled between his brows, took a few more gulps of beer, and then burped for a long time.

"What Yato-senpai is worried about will probably take a long time to come true."

"What I can do now is just to help people with the strategy of the game, to improve people's operation level and record in the game.... Such a trivial thing."

The alcohol surged up, and the slightly drunk feeling made Yato couldn't help expressing his truest thoughts: "Even if it's insignificant...it's good...at least, you are useful to human beings, right? ?”

"That's great~...Being a god that is useful to humans will not be easily forgotten..."
