"Um, Tsuki is here..."

Chitanda raised her small hand and reminded him in a slightly soft voice.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled apologetically: "Then I'll have to trouble you first—Qiuyue, could you see if this crop can be reactivated, or if you can preserve it even more perfectly?"

"Yes, I learned about it on the way here. I'll give it a try now, starting with a seed..."

Chasing Moon God raised his hand and beckoned to Chitanda.

Chitanda immediately handed a perfectly intact kernel of corn to Tsuki-no-Kami.

After receiving it, the Moon Chaser began to use his divine power to probe it.

stare!

The God of Fate stared intently at the God of Moon Chasing with a serious expression.

She was a little curious.

Curious about just how powerful the newly ascended god, the Moon Chaser, really is?

The Ubume next to Enmusubi has a lot of faith in Tsukuyomi.

Since the adopted daughter Mayoi established a village next to the widow's village and left with the remaining people, Ubume started to help take care of the women and children left behind, and naturally became acquainted with the moon god.

Later, Guhuoniao also witnessed the scene of the Moon Chaser coming out at night to use divine magic to greatly increase the growth of crops.

"To restore this overripe seed to a state where it can grow... it seems that it is not impossible."

Before long, the Moon Chaser suddenly spoke.

"Really?!" Shizuko excitedly walked towards her.

Why? !

Its aggressive stance almost startled the Moon Chaser.

Kyosuke Kosaka perfectly captured the nervous expression on Oitsuki's face.

That's not all!

"Chasing the Moon, you're amazing!"

Chitanda was already holding Tsuki-gami's hand with both of her own.

Her amethyst-like eyes sparkled with admiration, like dazzling stars.

Chitanda usually looks like this when she gets excited.

Kyosuke Kousaka had already adapted.

"...Not bad." The Moon Chaser God, with his rabbit ears and tail standing straight up, said calmly.

"It must require a lot of divine power, right?"

Kinnara suddenly said.

The God of Fate nodded firmly: "This definitely requires a lot of divine power. After all, it's a miracle that changes what's considered a 'predetermined fact,' so the divine power consumed will only be greater, not less."

"How about we send Inari? As the orthodox agricultural goddess, she would certainly consume less energy, and she has many followers, so her divine power would be more than enough..."

In the end, the God of Fate squatted to the side and started drawing small circles, looking dejected.

She also wants to have so many followers.

A luxurious shrine now exists.

That would definitely require a huge number of believers.

Unfortunately, there are still relatively few people who believe in her.

"I'm an agricultural god too! Why can't I be one?"

The Moon Goddess immediately raised her pink eyebrows, adopting a serious attitude.

She is a tsundere bunny-eared girl.

The Moon Chaser probably dislikes nothing more than people saying she's not good enough.

Kousaka Kyosuke understands.

"Let's wait for now. Lord Ara is negotiating with the deity related to this crop."

"……Um."

The Moon Goddess had no choice but to agree.

She had heard about agricultural gods in other places on her journey.

Kyosuke Kosaka, on the other hand, continued to preserve the corn seeds, storing some in his personal space.

"It's better to be prudent. Although it seems a bit exaggerated that they destroyed corn from a great distance and across the realms of other gods, let's still be cautious."

Before long, the Inari god Miketsuhime finally arrived—

She was led over by Su Yi.

After the exchange, they began to carefully examine the corn whose kernels had been partially removed.

Minoru also came with Miketsu.

Kagura, Sushang, Kinnara, and Tenjo all surrounded the spirit fox, stroking its fur and feeding it.

She is undoubtedly the group's darling.

"The yield potential of this crop is much, much higher than that of rice..."

After a long silence, the Inari deity spoke.

Upon hearing this, many others showed expressions of astonishment.

Chitanda and Shizuko, two modern people who were familiar with corn yields, were not too surprised.

Shizuko thought to herself, "Corn is exaggeratedly called a 'doomsday crop' by some people, after all, its adaptability is indeed unexpectedly strong, not to mention its yield..."

"It smells slightly sweet, so the taste shouldn't be too bad. And with such a high yield, no wonder it's called a divine product."

The God of Fate sighed.

She had great faith in Miketsu's professional competence.

If corn is said to be much, much taller than rice, then it must be true!

"Who knows, it might also be used to make maltose."

Jingzi said with great enthusiasm.

Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of everyone around her, she was convinced that planting corn was definitely a sure thing!

She believed it.

Everyone present shared her desire to prevent more people in the world from going hungry.

Therefore, no resistance will be a problem.

"It looks a bit hard to chew. If it were to replace rice, there would probably be a lot of resistance," said the God of Fate.

"—?!"

Kyosuke Kousaka looked at Enmusubi in surprise.

"What?!" The Goddess of Fate puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "Did I say something wrong?"

No, you're not wrong.

Nobody expected you to suddenly say something so serious.

Kasumigaoka said this silently in his heart.

Yes!

At the same time, most of the people on the field looked at the God of Marriage in surprise.

Even the usually quiet and seemingly calm Guhuoniao was secretly puzzled.

"So, even the God of Fate has a serious side."

"That's not a problem. If we really want to grow crops, no one will complain about increasing their grain production, as long as their staple food remains the same."

Kyosuke Kousaka said to the God of Marriage.

Kasumigaoka nodded slightly in agreement: "If this crop is planted in large quantities in the future, rice will only become rarer and rarer, and those in power will find that eating rice will become more and more delicious."

"That's right! Rich people don't care about the price when they spend money, they only care about how rare it is!"

The God of Fate was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his little fists.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka had no doubt that she was capable of succeeding a certain group.

Suddenly!

The two ears of corn held by the Inari god suddenly burst into flames.

"Eh?!"

"what!!"

Exclamations rang out in quick succession in an instant.
