Chapter 139 "The Goddess of Abundant Moon" and the Goddess of Unripe Moon
“Lord Natori, we are really worried about you being here alone. Let Hiiragi stay and keep you company.”
In the end, the three shikigami allowed Hiiragi to stay.
“Mr. Natori, why don’t you let your shikigami stay? After all, they’re worried about you, aren’t they?” Yu Bai said with a smile, seeing Natori’s troubled expression.
Natori Shuichi looked at Hiiragi, who was determined to stay, and then at Yu Bai's gentle smile. He could only shake his head helplessly and compromise, saying, "Well, alright, alright, since you insist, then so be it. Let's go to Misumi Plain to see the situation first."
Stepping onto this familiar land once again, unlike the silence of the night, Misumihara is very comfortable during the day.
The gentle sunlight and dense forest create beautiful Tyndall effect rays that shine through the leaves, making the Sanyu Mountain instantly breathtaking.
"Ah, as expected. This mountain is really too big; it's difficult to find useful information all at once."
After searching for a long time without success, Natori Shuichi shook his head helplessly. With the festival competition about to begin, he couldn't very well try to exorcise a god himself, could he?
After all, you've already put the "Fengyue Goddess" away. That's why you can't find anything useful.
Upon hearing Natori Shuichi's words, Yu Bai silently replied in his heart.
"Knock knock~ knock knock~"
Just as Yu Bai and the other two were staring at each other in disbelief, a drumbeat suddenly came from not far away.
Yu Bai and Natori Shuichi exchanged a glance, and before the drumbeats could get any closer, they both hid behind a bush nearby.
"Step back, step back, it's not Lady Moon Goddess~"
"Step back, step back. It's not Lady Moon Goddess~"
As the drumbeats drew closer, Yu Bai and Natori Shuichi, hiding behind the bushes, could clearly see the scene before them.
A group of little fairies dressed in black kimonos, wearing white masks, and holding scythes carried a bamboo palanquin slowly as they walked by.
As she walked, she kept saying, "Step back, step back, it is Lord Fugetsu-sama," informing all the monsters on Mount Misumi that Fugetsu, the god of the withered earth, had arrived.
Upon hearing the shouts of the men in black, Yu Bai involuntarily shrank back behind Natori Shuichi. The aura of "Toyotsuki" emanating from him also diminished to its lowest level.
The main reason is... when facing Bu Yue, Yu Bai always feels a sense of guilt for some reason.
This left him momentarily at a loss as to how to face Bu Yue.
Thinking this, Yu Bai quietly peeked out from behind Natori Shuichi and secretly glanced at Fuyuki sitting in the bamboo sedan chair.
Fuyuki still looked the same as he remembered, his slender figure outlined in a black kimono, and his face covered with a black mask with goat horns.
However, Yu Bai discovered that Bu Yue's temperament was much colder than before, as if she had become more aloof and independent after experiencing countless years.
Yu Bai pursed his lips, wondering if Bu Yue had discovered Tianyin Feimeng's true identity over the years.
Both of them knew that Yu Bai was going to leave, and they couldn't stop him because of the specific timing.
To alleviate Bu Yue's loneliness, Yu Bai created a shikigami that looked exactly like himself, based on his own Tianyin Feimeng. They agreed to meet once every ten years.
Yu Bai had initially thought that this would make Bu Yue feel better, but now, seeing the coldness emanating from Bu Yue again, he began to doubt whether his initial decision was right.
"That's the Moon Goddess, huh? This is really troublesome. The news of the Moon Goddess's absence will be discovered sooner or later. If that happens..."
Just as Yu Bai was staring at Bu Yue's figure, lost in thought, Natori Shuichi was also looking at Bu Yue, who was sitting on the bamboo palanquin, with a serious expression.
His eyes were filled with solemnity, and his hand unconsciously tightened around the white porcelain bottle in his pocket. Just now, from a distance, he could sense the powerful aura emanating from the Moon Goddess, a power that made one's heart tremble.
There was absolutely no sign of his divine power waning. Could such a deity really be eliminated by me?
Don't let yourself end up being the one to be removed by the Moon Goddess before you can remove her.
However, given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the Moon Goddess discovers that the Moon Goddess has been unable to find any trace of Fengyue.
If Fuyuki wins the competition, then in order to prevent Misumi Mountain from becoming a barren wasteland over the next ten years, I will have to eliminate Fuyuki.
Damn it, isn't there any other way...? Huh?
Just as Natori was brainstorming, another drumbeat came from the sky, but this time it was a little different.
Because, accompanying the drumbeats, the words spoken at this moment were: "Step back, step back. It is Lady Toyotsuki!"
"Step back, step back, it is Lady Toyotsuki~"
Same scene, same process.
However, this time the little monsters carrying the bamboo sedan chair were a group of little monsters dressed in white and wearing straw hats.
Moreover, the person sitting in the bamboo palanquin had also changed; the black kimono had been replaced with a white and purple one, and the black goat horn mask had been replaced with a white deer horn mask. A completely different aura emanated from them.
However, this scene left Yu Bai completely bewildered. He even opened his game inventory to check if Tianyin Feimeng had slipped out while he wasn't looking.
But the blue-green guqin still lay quietly in the game's inventory.
Ah... no, since Tianyin Feimeng didn't come out, and I, the Fengyue Goddess, am here, then who is that Fengyue Goddess being carried by the White Hat Clan and sitting in a bamboo sedan chair?
How come he didn't know when he had acquired the skill of mitosis?
???
As the Moon Goddess slowly approached, the monsters of Misumi Mountain who were watching from the roadside began to discuss among themselves.
"Hey, look, who's that?"
"Ah~ It's the great goddess Fengyue! We haven't seen the goddess Fengyue for three years."
"Yes, seeing her today, Lady Toyotsuki is still as beautiful as ever."
Huh? Is that Fengyue Goddess on the bamboo sedan chair? Then how come there's a rumor that Fengyue Goddess was sealed away by exorcists?
Could it be that Fengyue Goddess broke free of the seal herself, which is why Yu Bai and I have been searching for so long without finding a trace of her?
Pulling down his hat brim, Natori Shuichi thought speechlessly, things had completely exceeded his expectations.
The contact wanted him to remove the Moon God, who was an extremely powerful deity, showing absolutely no signs of weakening due to a lack of faith in modern society.
The records state that the God of the Moon, who was sealed away three years ago by a third-rate exorcist, is now standing perfectly fine in front of him.
Shuichi Natori felt that if it weren't for the need to maintain his image in front of Hiiragi and Yohaku, he would have collapsed to the ground right now.
What, is an actor's life not a life?
What did I do wrong to deserve this?!
……
Moon Goddess: I've finally made my appearance! Although there's only one figure.
Natori Shuichi: Let whoever wants to take this task take it, I can't do it, what is this all about! Can't this ever get any better?
Yu Bai: When did I start mitosis?
