Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Time changes everything, and many people have forgotten my existence. So I have come back to spread my faith and let everyone know that I exist."

"It is the spirit of the matchmaker," said the god of destiny with great enthusiasm.

Kyosuke Kosaka tugged at the red thread connecting him to his body, and Enmusubi let out a "whoa!" and almost fell to the ground.

"I sense that you have fewer than ten followers... Is that just my imagination?"

"Ugh! Don't pry into the secrets of God!"

Enyushin glared at Kousaka Kyousuke.

The supposed "lofty and grand" status of the gods has almost been destroyed.

The mysterious impression that most people present had of the gods of Takamagahara began to crumble...

"Never mind, there's nothing else to do anyway. Let's just hide the red thread for now." Kousaka Kyosuke casually concealed the red thread on his body, showing no particular concern on his face or in his heart.

For him, the most important thing is to restore his right hand so that his combat ability is not affected.

"Haha, the matter is finally resolved."

"It's temporarily resolved, but Lord Enmusubi would be better if you put in a little more effort."

Kagura said to the optimistic God of Marriage.

The matchmaker gave an awkward but polite smile: "Yes, don't worry, I'll solve the problem right away!"

What a huge embarrassment!

Let's leave as soon as possible, and don't ask for any reward!

Then, the God of Fate took his leave.

Kyosuke Kosaka also thought that things would end like this, but soon after, someone came to report that Enmusubi had collapsed and was unconscious on the ground.

Yang Nai, who was in charge of helping with the moving, looked completely bewildered.

"Even God can faint?"

Kyosuke Kousaka, who came to inspect the situation, was also completely bewildered.

"It seems the divine power of the Kusanagi Sword is rampaging through her body, probably caused by forcibly absorbing divine power..."

"Does Lord Kyosuke have a solution?" Su Yi asked.

Kousaka Kyosuke thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Let's take her in for now. If it really doesn't work, we can try to help her recruit followers. With a large number of followers, her divine power will be abundant and strong, which will naturally solve any problem."

"Ah! Really?"

The spirit of the marriage, who was still lying on the straw mat, immediately sat up, looking very energetic!

Kyosuke Kosaka's face darkened. Was this guy really asleep or just pretending?

"Sure, there just happens that a shrine is going to be expanded, you can be the extra one."

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Yuanjie Shen nodded quickly.

Anything is fine with me!

They saved all the money they would have spent on buying land and building a shrine—a huge profit!

Let's not worry about the other details!

Those who witnessed this scene completely shattered their image of the Takamagahara deity.

"A god without believers is pitiful."

Yang Nai had a different opinion.

That is, the power of a deity should be proportional to the number of believers, and the Deity of Marriage is a typical example.

Because of their small number of believers, they have become beings almost like ordinary people.

"I sense that you can't use your divine power. For now, you can stay here at my residence."

"...It feels like you don't have any secrets at all."

"Who do you think caused this?" Kyosuke Kousaka asked bluntly.

He also sensed that the God of Fate could see some of his secrets, so he could only try to "cover them up" as much as possible.

Kagura whispered, "This red thread is truly amazing..."

“That’s right, you have a good eye. This red thread of mine is specially made and extremely rare. I’ll try my best to make one for you for one gold, no, ten gold.”

The God of Fate launched into a long and enthusiastic sales pitch for his products.

Su Chang, Su Yi, Chitanda, Shizuko, Yaodao-hime, Hakuro... one by one, they unconsciously gathered around.

Kyosuke Kousaka rubbed his temples, sensing that things were getting increasingly complicated.

I really want to throw this silly god out.

Forget it, divine power will attract monsters, and the God of Bonds, who can't really control his power, might just become their appetizer.

That's hilarious.

"It just so happens that the Moon Chaser is almost ready to try to condense his divine spark. This silly god should be of some use, right?" Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

He didn't believe it.

Even the most reliable matchmaking shrine can't help with this.

So, he still made a profit? Probably.

180. The God of Fate's Sales Journey / The Troubles of the Red Thread / Another Incident?

As evening fell, the sky gradually took on a pale orange hue.

The spirit of fate, who was assigned to live in the northeast room, is now wandering around.

Having learned about the specific areas of activity, she began to actively explore whether she could develop a following.

"Ah, sir, sir, please wait a moment..."

"Is it Lord Enmusubi?"

Ayanokouji looked puzzled as her way home was suddenly blocked, but she was thinking of getting away from it.

My sister just told me that this god from Takamagahara has a very strange personality.

I think it's better to ignore it.

"Haha, you're really well-informed! I am a god born from human marriages, so your meeting with me must be destiny!"

"...I have no plans to find a partner at the moment. Sorry, goodbye."

Ayanokouji bowed his head in apology, turned and left, his words and actions flowing seamlessly together.

They had no intention of giving the God of Fate much of a chance to speak.

The God of Fate chuckled dryly: "If you don't want to get married, then you don't have to. There's no need to run away so quickly... I'm not some strange god."

A short while later, after Ayanokouji returned to his residence, Enmusubi saw two men walking side by side again.

"Ahem." Yuanjie Shen walked forward gracefully, deliberately making a sound to show her presence.

"Lord Fate God."

The newcomers, Hikigaya and Shijou Tei, bowed and greeted each other.

"No need to be so polite, I'm just a god who eats and drinks for free." The God of Fate quickly waved his hand.

Compared to Ayanokoji, the solemnity with which Hikigaya and Shijo Tei greeted her at the same time made Enmusubi feel somewhat uneasy.

Hikigaya was the first to respond, then continued to look at Enmusubi, quietly waiting for her to speak.

As Hikigaya expected, Enmusubi immediately took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Since you all know I'm the God of Fate, you must know what I do~ So, want to form a bond?"

"I already have a wife..."

"Me too."

Hikigaya said to Enmusubi, and Shijou Tei echoed him.

The God of Fate immediately said, "Then let's get the red thread of fate to deepen our bond! It only costs ten coins and it's very useful!"

"Then give me five... six sticks."

"I'll have one, no, two!"

"Okay! I'll give it to you right away!"

The God of Fate happily responded and readily pulled out eight red threads from the large bag on his back.

Hikigaya and Shijou Tei each took out money from their pockets to pay, and then received the red thread from Enmusubi.

The two then went home separately.

Hikigaya lived in the northeast room, and Shijo Tei lived in the west room.

Therefore, Shijou-tei will still have some time to travel.
