7 - On the night of the 6th feast, with a shrine maiden...

「「「「「Hinokami-sama hail!!!」」」」」

The sound of a toast is heard in the air.

In the town of Magrido, a grand feast was being held to celebrate the resurrection of Hinokami-sama (who had always existed).

Although the existence of Hinokami itself had been handed down to the people in the form of folklore or a fairy tale, no one had actually seen it, and the belief in it had died out.

The mayor and others are now going to pay their respects to Hinokami, renovate the temple for training, and build an altar for offerings and the like.

I think that is a wonderful thing.

It's just that

"Oh, how divine you look ......"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you ......"

Please pray that my back pain will be cured. ......

"......"

I've been worshipped so much since a while ago, but I'm not Hinokami-sama, okay?

But once I turned into a firebird and flew around the island, people seemed to have equated me with Hinokami-sama, and I was feted as the star of the feast.

Please, come in. Iguza-sama."

Oh, hello.

Kaya-san, the shrine maiden, pours me a drink.

Kaya-san seems to be the granddaughter of the mayor, and she is my caretaker.

She is 18 years old, a little younger than me.

She is 18 years old, a little younger than I am.

I said, looking at the smiling people chatting and laughing.

I looked at the people smiling and chatting, and Kaya nodded her head and said, "Yes.

Until the other day, the Adamantia had been having an effect on the people, and they were probably looking for something cheerful to talk about. But then the legendary Hinokami appeared, and when they heard that it was his messenger who defeated Adamantia, it was only natural for them to feel secure in the knowledge that they had the Hinokami in their corner.

I see. Well, the problem is that they think I am the Hinokami-sama himself. ......

The actual person is right here in the mountains. ......

The actuality of the fact that the actual person is actually there in the mountain, it's not really a problem.

I'm sure that's true. From our point of view, he is a being equal to a god.

"I see. ......

I thought I had become a dragon slayer, but now I am Hinokami-sama.

Kaya and all the other people I've met so far, everyone has been so nice and kind, and I kind of feel like things have been going well since I left Erma, but maybe it's my imagination. ......

Hmmm," I said with a difficult look on my face, and Kaya smiled again with a bottle of drink in both hands.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you. Please enjoy it to the fullest, Iguza-sama.

I guess so.

I laughed and enjoyed the banquet just as Kaya said.

That night.

That night.

I was allowed to stay at the house by courtesy of the mayor, and he said, "I'm here for a nightcap.

"I'm here for a nightcap.

What?

Why is this happening?

Dressed in white and poking her three fingers on the floor is a beautiful young miko maiden with slick black hair--Kaya-san.

Why did this Kaya-san appear in my bedroom, and why was I so happy to have her as a night-night-night ...... companion?

The first thing to do is to make sure you have a good time.

Do you not like it with me?"

No, no, no, no, no! I'm very happy to have you as a partner, but why are you suddenly going out on a date with me?

I'm not sure how much I can take.

I've never done that before, but this makes me look like a beginner!

I'm so embarrassed!

However, Kaya showed no sign of concern and said shyly, "Of course, that's true.

Of course, it is to have a child with Igusa-sama.

Oh, I see. Is it a child? ...... is a child?

That means you're going to call Mr. Red, isn't it?

What? Wait, what?

While I was distraught, Kaya-san quietly began to explain the situation, saying, "Yes, that's right.

Now that Hinokami-sama's existence has been revealed, we, the people of Magorido, must continue to pass it on to the next generation. In order to do so, it is essential to have a priestess who carries on the lineage of the Mikagura-sama. Therefore, please give me the son of Iguza-sama. Never again must we disrespect Hinokami-sama.

Kaya, ......

I certainly understand the situation.

But.

Are you sure you're okay with that, Kaya?

I am fine with it. That is the least I can do to atone for my birth as a citizen of Maghreb.

I scratched my head and went in front of her, grabbed her slender shoulders firmly, and said, "Yes, I think it's a bad idea.

I scratched my head, then went in front of her, grabbed her slender shoulders firmly, and said, "Yeah, I still think it's no good!

What?

I understand what you say, Kaya-san.

That is ......

The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you're doing and how to do it. That would make Hinokami-sama happy, wouldn't it? At least, I, who am said to be Hinokami-sama, would be pleased. Yes, I will be pleased.

I beat my chest with a big smile, and Kaya-san, perhaps overcome with emotion, bursts into tears.

I'm not a big fan of this.

I'm sorry for saying something like that, but that's how it is. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a chance on a new person and expect them to be happy. I'm going to save my nightgown for that time.

I'm sorry for saying such a great thing. I understand. ......"

The smile of Kaya who nodded her head while wiping her tears was very beautiful in the moonlight.

As a side note, after Kaya left the room, I wet my pillow alone, saying, "My stupid idiot, what are you doing? I wet my pillow alone.

The male mind is complicated in many ways.
