[Noragami] I was not there

Kanagi was in a daze, the biting cold in the water had long since faded, replaced by the warmth under the soft quilt, but his head was filled with white mist just like the dream just now, and he was confused for a while.

"Do you want to drink some water first?"

She looked at the man in front of her who handed her a water glass, paused for a moment, took it, put it to her mouth and took a sip, her dry lips were moistened, and her head stuck halfway could finally function.

The demonized ghost mother, Nora who appeared inexplicably, the big talking lion, the blond woman, and the one covered in blood——

"...Yato."

The slides flashing past in front of her eyes finally froze, the white sheet in front of her was clenched tighter and tighter in her hands, and large patches of blood gradually stained her vision red.

Now... is not the time to rest here.

"Miss Kanna, why did you fall by the side of the road so late? Fortunately, I passed by and found you in time. You know that it is not very safe for a girl to go out so late. Have you encountered any accident? Do you need it?" Do you need me to call the police?" On the other side, Kuribayashi Jun looked worried, as if he was really worried about Kanaki, but the words he was about to say were blocked by the water glass that Kanaki stuffed back, he looked at the girl who was about to get out of bed in a hurry, The corner of the mouth drew a strange arc again, "Is Miss Kanna in a hurry?"

Kanaki didn't see Jun Kuribayashi's expression. He hurriedly put on his shoes and got up and bowed to him: "Thank you Mr. Kuribayashi for your help, but I do have something else to do, and I will come back to thank you solemnly later."

Kuribayashi Jun waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of raising a finger, but Miss Kanna, are you really okay? You don't look very good."

"I'm fine, but I'm really in a hurry! Let's go first!" Kanaki hurriedly ended the conversation with Kuribayashi Jun, and hurried to the door.

Although there are still a lot of question marks in my head, such as where Nora went, why I fell alone on the side of the street, and the unexplained dream just now and the woman in the dream, all of this is not important now, now The most important thing is to quickly find someone who can help Yato.

It's still not dawn, and it's only been more than an hour by the time, but God knows how Yato is doing now.

"Miss Kanna, if there is anything I can help, please feel free to speak up."

Usually, these words are polite as usual, but when Kanaki heard what the man said behind her, she immediately slammed on the brakes and ran back.

Kurilin Jun looked at the girl who stopped in front of him, was taken aback for a moment but then quickly smiled and said, "Miss Kanna?"

"Mr. Kuribayashi, please lend me some money first!"

"..."

After successfully picking out thousands of Japanese coins from Jun Kuribayashi's wallet and promising to return them as soon as possible, Kanaki rushed again, but when he was approaching the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the money. At the corner of the eye, if she heard correctly, there seemed to be a knock on the door from there just now, although it was only once.

Could it be a window that wasn't closed properly, or a pet?

Kanaki's eyes stayed in that direction for a while, and finally turned around and opened the door to leave.

The man who walked out of the room on the second floor looked at the back of Kanaki leaving, leaning against the railing of the aisle with a natural smile on his face, his shoulders were gently hooked by his arms - that was the short hair that had been hidden in the dark The girl, in fact, was the one who brought Kanaki to this apartment using water as a medium.

"Just let her go like this? Father." Still smiling, Nora didn't really have any doubts about the man's actions.

"It's okay, it's not time to come back yet." The man shrugged nonchalantly, and then looked in a certain direction helplessly, "I just didn't expect Guizimu to die so easily. Do your best to help her."

Nora didn't answer, just chuckled amusedly.

The man showed a distressed and disappointed expression, and couldn't help lowering his head and sighing.

"However, he successfully attracted Bishamon, and he didn't deviate too much from Father's plan, did he?"

"It's true." After tearing off the expression of pretending to be sad before, the man smiled and said, but after a short pause, his eyes turned to the room around the corner, which was also the direction Kanaki was looking at just now, because the door knocker at the moment The sound came again, and it was still continuous.

"Ahh..." He half-covered his eyes, his eyes were opposite to the corners of his mouth, and there was no smile at all, "She is also a little bit annoying."

Kannaki went to the street and took a taxi and went straight to Ukaya's shrine. She didn't know where Xiaofu and Daikoku were, and the only place she could go was there. The money she borrowed from Kuribayashi Jun should be enough to pay the fare.

Although the driver was surprised that a girl would take a taxi to the shrine in the middle of the night, he asked for a long time and still didn't get any results. In the end, he honestly drove her to the destination.

Kanaki got out of the car in a hurry, but the moment her foot hit the ground, the cell phone she had been carrying in her pocket rang. She looked at the caller ID, and it was Uno Sanqian calling.

But I don't know if it's because I don't know how to explain or I can't waste a minute and a second. In the end, Kanagi didn't answer the phone, but ran into the shrine without looking back, shouting Yukaya's name loudly. Fortunately, she Good luck today——

"Ah? Isn't this Axi?" Ukaya, dressed in a kimono, with a high bun and holding a lyre, appeared in front of the torii gate and stopped Kanaki who was rushing inside.

"Ka, Gayako! Yetou him, he was captured by Bishamon!"

……

After a few minutes.

Kanaki told Yukaya and Xiaofu who was quickly called by her phone all the things, and the artifacts of the two also stood silently behind them, until it was said that Yukine became Yato's new When the artifact and Hongyin died, everyone was stunned, especially Yujiaye, who fell into great sadness afterwards, lamenting that it would be nice if Hongyin would quit sooner, but no one can match this fate .

Kanaki suppressed his emotions, and talked about the matter to the end, but Daikoku breathed out the smoke ring in one gulp, and concluded in one sentence——

"Too bad."

Seeing how cruel that Bishamon was to Yato, we knew how bad this would be. Kanaki bit his lower lip and asked his question: "Did Yato have any grudges against that Bishamon?"

"Yeah." Xiaofu nodded, "Although I don't know the details, Yatoto did have a lot of trouble with Bishamon, and it's also because Bishamon never gave up on chasing and killing him. Night fight."

"What's the matter?" Kanagi couldn't help asking.

"He chopped off Bishamon's artifact, and at that time the 'Ma' clan was almost wiped out." Ukaya answered Kanaki on behalf of Xiaofu, "Although it has been a long time, I have heard of this incident, after all, the Valkyrie It can be said that it is unheard of that my artifact was hacked by an unknown god."

... cut?Does it mean that Yato killed all the artifacts of the blonde lady?

Xiao Fu looked at Kanaki who fell into silence, and explained anxiously: "But Yato is not a bad guy, Ashi must understand... right?"

Kanagi looked up at Xiaofu, reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Well, of course I know."

Yes, Kanaki just has some indigestion. As far as she knows about Yato, he is not the kind of person who would go to kill people and families when he has nothing to do. Something must have happened. Thinking about it carefully, looking at the fighting spirit and equipment quantity of the blond elder sister today, it would not be an easy matter for Yato to kill her whole family even if he is at full health... right?

Kanaki shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, it's useless to say these things now, in short, we must rescue Yato first. Judging by Bishamon's appearance, she will never let Yato go."

"According to what you said, Bishamon mistakenly believed that Yato had killed the ghost mother. This crime cannot be resolved by lynching herself. The most likely thing is that Yato was taken to the god meeting not long after, and handed over Let the heavens judge." Yukye spoke his guess while holding the cigarette stick.

"But Yato killed the demonized ghost mother. She is not a god at all. If she is handed over to the sky, she should be judged fairly, right?" Killing a demon is naturally innocent, and Kanaki's words are undoubtedly possible for Yato. Get the best deal.

"That's what you said." Yukaya frowned slightly, and let out a puff of smoke, "Even if he was temporarily dazzled by hatred, a person like Bishamon would not be so stupid that he couldn't even distinguish monsters, let alone her now The Beacon is also a rare talent, so she will definitely investigate the demonization of the ghost mother, and there are only two possible results for her."

Xiaofu also nodded when he heard the words: "Indeed there are only two."

Yukaya sighed, and explained to Kanaki who had no understanding of the matter: "The first result is that Yato did kill the god, she just needs to hand him over to the sky, and the sky will naturally punish him with thunder, and he will never be restored. The second result is that what Yato killed was a demon, Tian will return justice and let Yato survive, but that is not the ending Bishamon wants to see, so she will definitely not hand Yato to Tian, She did it herself."

"So no matter what the situation is, there is only one ending for Yato." Kanaki stared blankly at the floor, with a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead, "...death."

"It seems that Yato and Yukine can only be rescued before that." Yukaya's face turned cold, "Before Bishamon realizes the truth."

"Then what should we do now?" Even Kanaki, who didn't even know where Yato was taken, could only look anxiously at Yukaya and Xiaofu. After reaching this conclusion, she felt that there was no way to wait any longer.

"It's a bit tricky." Xiaofu bit his lower lip lightly.

"It's absolutely impossible to come directly to ask for someone, and it's completely impossible to sneak in. The god's artifact will be found as soon as it arrives in her mansion." Yu Jiaye looked sideways at the other people, and rubbed his forehead in distress, "And If you really start a fight, it will only make this matter worse, and in the end, it will only make Yato, who has no position in Gao Tianyuan, be blamed."

"Yeah, that would be more troublesome for Yatoto."

"Ah...if only there was someone who could sneak into Takamahara without being discovered." Yukaya said unconsciously, but it was also these words that got into Kanaki's ears.

"That..." After thinking about it for a while, Kanaki raised his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, "Although I know that I am a bit overconfident, but I still want to ask, if gods and artifacts are not good enough, how can a human Can I sneak in and save Yato?"

"Don't be joking!" Dahei suddenly turned up the volume, "It is impossible for human beings to enter Gao Tianyuan, unless... forget it, it's nothing, anyway, it can't work!"

Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Daiguro immediately lowered his volume, and finally let Kanaki dismiss the idea as if he was dealing with it casually.

But Kanaki also understood that this is indeed feasible, she can only turn her eyes to Yukaya: "Gayako, if I can, please let me try it, at this moment, Yato can't do it at all." There wasn't much time to wait and he had a serious injury."

Yukaya looked at Kanaki, and read from her eyes that she was determined and resolute. She waved her hand to stop Dahei who was still about to say something, and asked her, "Can you really disregard your own life? Yes As far as you are concerned, Yato is just a passer-by, is it worth it to risk your life for a guy who might disappear from your memory tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or someday in the future?"

"I don't want to risk my life or anything." Kanaki clenched his fists and replied loudly deliberately, as if he could cheer himself up in this way, "But I promised that I would never forget him overnight, so I feel that if I don't If I go to save him, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or some day in the future, once I think that I didn't try my best to save that stupid god with sweaty hands, I will regret it to the point of death."

Yukaya and Xiaofu looked at each other, and finally got the same answer as herself in the eyes of the other party. She put down the cigarette stick and knocked on the stone steps below her for a long time. Humans are really strange creatures, but She really likes this inexplicable persistence——

"I see."

<<

It is absolutely impossible for human beings to enter Takamahara. Dakoku did not lie, so the only way is to make Kanaki become an existence that can enter Takamahara. What kind of existence is that?The answer is——

Become a demigod.

"Half-demon? What should I do?" Kanaki felt that he was a living person, and at most he could become a dead person. Literally, half-demon means half-human and half-demon, and that is his parents Does it mean a demon? ...then it was too late.

"It's a bit different from your understanding. It's very simple for a human to become a half-demon, as long as..."

"if only?"

Yukaya chuckled, then slapped Kanaki's head with a slap, and slammed into the wall desperately.

Kanaki swears, she definitely heard the sound of her head cracking in an instant, and then Yukaya explained leisurely——

"It's time to die."
