[Comprehensive] The Bizarre Event Book of the God Inspector

"Yo~ Long time no see, kid~" You sat on the eaves of the dilapidated shrine, and greeted the young man who came to worship, "You didn't bring that fat cat here."

"I only saw you three days ago, Mr. You." Natsume Takashi looked at this little god speechlessly, and then his eyes lit up, "Speaking of which, your size seems to have grown a little bit."

"Yeah, I have to thank you for this." If this young man hadn't often come to worship and worship, he would probably have died with the passage of time.

"And, that kid is back too."

"That child? Do you mean Morikawa-senpai?" Natsume Takashi guessed.

You was stunned for a moment when he heard this strange name, then he reacted and said in a low voice: "So she is called this name now, I'm still used to calling her 'Hongye'."

"Have you known Morikawa-senpai for a long time?" Natsume Takashi recalled the first time he saw the two of them. At that time, You didn't want to appear in front of Morikawa Hotaru, and Morikawa Hotaru seemed to have forgotten Yuu The presence.

"Soon, just a year. How old was she when I met her? Seven."

When You met his former name Hongye, he just liberated the artifact that had been with him for two years. The reason for that guy's resignation was that staying in this small forest was too boring.

Of course, the translation of the whole sentence is "You god is too useless!"

This kind of thing has happened too many times, and the mountain god who has lived for an unknown age has long been bearish.As a mountain god, he can't leave the area under his jurisdiction for too long, unlike those great gods who have many shrines, and not like those nameless gods who don't even have shrines.

His shrine is only this miniature one, which is built casually on the side of the road, and if you are not careful, naughty children will come to destroy it.

He hates children, especially those who are mischievous.

But people's beliefs will gradually decrease over time, and fewer and fewer people will come to worship him.He watched his shrine become dilapidated day by day, with weeds growing overgrown, and even his own strength was weakening day by day.

In order to save his divine power, he chose to sleep.

Until one day, a voice broke his ordinary life.

"Mom, what is this?"

"Well, let me see, this is a shrine."

"Huh? Shouldn't the shrine be huge?"

"Not necessarily, there will be such a small one."

"Then will there be gods in it?"

"Well, yes."

"Nah, nah, what's it like?"

"Mom hasn't seen it either."

"But will he be lonely staying in this shrine? And this small house is broken, and there are no other gods around..."

"Yes. Then, what does Momiji want to do?"

"Well, well, mom, can we help him?"

Yu's shrine was restored to cleanliness that day, and he also remembered the little girl named "Hongye".Later, he would often see little girls coming to worship and make offerings in a serious manner, sometimes peaches, sometimes steamed buns, and sometimes biscuits.

And one of the things he does most often is to lean against the shrine, quietly watching the red leaves, but never say hello.In the final analysis, he is just a person from the other side, and he has too many contacts with ordinary people in the eternal world, which is not good for them.

Until one day, a few mischievous monsters came from the woods, and they often confuse passers-by, making them trapped in the illusion and unable to get out.You warned several times with little effect, because he is just a god with weak power, and the face monster can bully him.

It was very unfortunate that day, Hongye became the target of those monsters.

When You found Hongye, the little girl squatted on the spot and cried like a little cat.That was the first time he took the initiative to show himself in front of Hongye, and he was a little worried that the little girl would refuse to go with him because she didn't trust strangers.

But from the beginning to the end, Hongye was very obedient, obediently letting him lead her, only weeping occasionally.

Later, he asked Hongye why she obediently followed him, but the reason made him dumbfounded, because the little girl said, "Because you don't look like a bad person."

For a moment, he didn't know how to refute, no matter how he explained, it seemed to be scolding himself.

The bond between them seemed to grow stronger from that day on.Every time Hongye goes to and from school, she will come to him to play for a while, and he has nothing to do, just treat it as a way to pass the time.

He heard a lot of things from the little girl, most of them were trivial things in life, such as mother made her a new skirt today, father had to work overtime again today, and the classmates in the class isolated her as usual.

At this time, he just needs to be quiet and listen better, children always have a strong desire to express, which adds a little color to his peaceful life like stagnant water.

When Hongye is in a bad mood, just picking a flower for her can make her happy for a long time, which is quite easy to satisfy.

Of course the god would be lonely, and sometimes he would think that it would be great if he could keep this child by his side forever. This was the reason why he went to collect the artifact in the first place, and didn't the child obediently entrust his name to him?

But he will quickly dispel this idea and tell himself that it is wrong to do so.So it is best to keep the status quo. He will watch the child grow up slowly, become a big girl, find someone he likes, get married and have children, and then grow old slowly.It couldn't be better.

But suddenly one day, he lost Hongye forever.

Obviously that morning, they were still chatting happily, and the child awkwardly handed him an apple.But when it was time to leave school, he didn't see the child come back. He didn't know what happened until the moon was high and the child's mother came out to look for it anxiously.

But he couldn't leave the shrine too far, so he could only search nearby.Then he saw a few sneaky boys groping into the depths of the woods with a big sack on their backs. The sack gave off a strong smell of blood, and even had a familiar smell.

He hurriedly followed, and then saw a scene that he would never forget.

That was the child he had always wanted to take good care of. Now she had no good skin all over her body, and he still wanted to watch her grow up, so she was ruined by these scumbags.When he went in, he happened to see those half-grown boys digging a hole. It seemed that they wanted to bury the girl in it to cover up their crimes.

You naturally wouldn't let them do this. After deliberately making a little louder noise, the boys finally dropped their tools out of fear and ran away in a panic.

After he leaned over to check Hongye's situation, he found that she was actually still alive, but she was dying soon.At this moment, that untimely thought came to his mind again.

As long as the girl dies, he can take her as an artifact and let her be by his side forever.

Yeah, just wait until she dies.

But Hongye suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, calling for help with a weak voice: "Help, save me...you, save me...it hurts..."

"...Okay." He really couldn't make up his mind to do this.

In order to save the child's life, he donated all his spiritual power to Hongye.His stature began to shrink, but it wasn't enough.When his spiritual power was about to be exhausted, he put a seal on Hongye, sealing all her memories, hoping that she would never think of breaking the painful memory again.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown number of years, he woke up again and saw an unexpected person.

That kid has grown up.Looking quietly at the girl who cleaned up the shrine for him and sincerely worshiped him in a blind corner, he secretly sighed.But he still held back the idea of ​​showing his appearance, and kept the boy who saw his existence a secret by the way.

Just let her live her life peacefully like this, and don't need to get involved in any relationship with him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the seal would be released one day, and it would be a lie to say he was unhappy.So when the child said "You, long time no see, I'm back", he couldn't restrain the joy in his heart anymore.

"Welcome back, Hongye."

The author has something to say: Well, it's really over here.

This chapter tells the beginning of all the stories from the perspective of Shan Shenyou, and explains the source of the heroine's spiritual power by the way.In fact, I gave a reminder in Chapter 8 of the main text. I used the settings in Noragami. Only gods and artifacts have special fragrances, and only monsters can smell them.

If You hadn't saved the heroine then, it would be another story.

Then there's an epilogue, where I'll list the timeline and storyline, as well as the episodes I've cut out.
