757 # 724 Goddess of Cherry Blossoms and Goddess of Yomi



I'm going to eat a little early dinner and then log in to the game.

At night, I decided to gather information about God toward the cherry blossoms.First of all, let's talk to Prince Shotoku, who is also the emperor.

I bought a miso ramen made by Mr. Chalumera and went to cherry blossom and found several stalls lined up.I heard that there is an autumn festival at this time of year.Good! Autumn festival!I will meet Prince Shotoku with patience for wanting to participate in the festival.

"Well, this ramen is delicious, too.And what do you want to hear?"

"In fact, I got scarlet gold.Do you know anything about this god of cherry blossoms?"

"Well, there are mainly two kinds of gods in our country: temples and shrines.Exceptions include the sky fox and the daitarabocchi."

It seems to be almost the same as in Japan.But the problem is that the topography of Heian-kyo is different. In any case, Mt. Fuji is the mountain near Kyoto.It goes without saying that the terrain is strange.

There are many theories about the setting of Kaguya Hime's stage, and it seems that it is near Mt. Fuji, but the townscape was Heian-kyo.There was a red-light district, so I can't say this is absolutely true.Then, it became clear that the capital of cherry blossoms was in the vicinity of Kanto Prefecture.

There are Takemikazuchi no Okami, Futsunushi no Okami, Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto who live near this capital.It is called Takemikazuchi, Futsunushi no Kami, Izanagi or Izanami for a short time among cherry blossom people.Among these four, I recommend Takemikazuchi no Okami and Futsunushi no Okami.'

No, then let's call it short.Just in case.

"Can't Izanagi and Izanami be?"

"You don't have a chance... You need to jump into the quarrel between the gods and solve it. You're going to make enemies of these two gods at worst of all."

Oh... I can't do that.I don't have that skill in my status.

"How can Takemikazuchi-sama and Futsunushi-no-kami-sama sign a contract?"

"If we win in battle, we should be able to make a contract with them.He's the god of war anyway."

It's going to be a battle... but I don't think the difficulty is different for other gods.Then I want to aim at another god.

Incidentally, these four gods are enshrined in shrines in Ibaraki, Chiba and Saitama Prefectures.Let's briefly explain about each god.

First, Takemikazuchi no Okami.Prince Shotoku said that Takemikazuchi was more famous.It is written as Takemikazuchi no kami in Chinese characters.He is probably the strongest god in Japanese mythology.The famous story is that I negotiated with Sukunabikona, the god of Okuninushi, who created Japan, to hand over the land.

In this story, Takemikazuchi no kami, who had a power comparison with Takeminakata no kami, a son of Okuninushi no kami, won and handed over the country.This is said to be the origin of sumo.I'm sure it doesn't fit with me.

The next is Futsunushi no Okami.Similarly, the name Futsunushi no Kami is more well known than . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..In Chinese characters, it is written as Futsunushi no kami.Takemikazuchi-no-kami is often spoken in pairs with Takemikazuchi-no-kami, and it can be said that Takemikazuchi-no-kami is the strongest god in Japanese mythology.He is a god who is spoken with Takemikazuchi no kami.

The reason why Takemikazuchi-no-kami was the first emperor of Japan, and Emperor Jinmu gave him a sword called Futsunomitama when he was in trouble.Given that the first character of the sword matches the first character of the sword, isn't Futsunushi no Kami an incarnation of the sacred sword?There is a story that says so.To be honest, Futsunushi no Okami is in a mess.

Izanagi and Izanami should be described as a set.These two gods were born as the last brothers and sisters among the seven gods created at the time of the creation of heaven and earth.

When these two got married, they created islands that made up the Japanese archipelago, and many gods were born.However, it is said that Izanami died after giving birth to Hinokatsuchi no kami, the god of fire, and Izanagi killed Hinokatsuchi no kami.

I can relate to Izanagi and Izanami.I've had a quarrel with Lisa.However, when I asked if there was any other god, I was able to get information about the god I was aiming for.

"If you can go to the highest mountain in this country, you should look for Amaterasu Omikami, Susano no Mikoto, and Tsukiyomikoto.I'm afraid I don't know the exact location.The lord of the city of Heian may know what it is."

"All right.I'll ask. Thank you for everything."

It is enough to say that there is a god I am looking for in the direction of the city of Heian.These three gods are said to have been born when Izanagi went to Yominokuni (the land of the dead) to see Izanami, but he ran away and performed a purification ceremony.

There is no remarkable myth about Tsukiyomi no Mikoto, but there is no doubt that Amaterasu Omikami and Susano no Mikoto were strong.After all, Amaterasu Omikami is the main god of Japanese gods, and Susano no Mikoto is known for killing Yagi no Omikami.

Among them, the one I am aiming for is Susano no Mikoto.Normally, I would aim for Amaterasu Omikami, but I can't help but remember the image of Kojin in my mind.It must be because I and the god of war were alike.

Susano no Mikoto is a god with a violent side and a sense of justice.He used a sword as a weapon, and if he was going to fight anyway, he wanted to fight Susano no Mikoto from Futsunushi no Okami.

Therefore, I asked the lord of the Heian capital about the three noble gods.

"I don't know where the three gods are.But if you know a god, you know it."

"Who are you?"

"She is a goddess named Konohana no sakuyabime.It is sometimes called sakuya-bime for a short time.She is a goddess who symbolizes the mountain and the cherry blossoms that are the symbols of the cherry blossoms."

Oh! She's the goddess who married the grandson of Amaterasu Omikami.Of course, she was a god related to the Imperial family and Sakuyabime's older sister was supposed to get married at the time of this marriage, but she ended up getting married only to Sakuyabime.As a result, it is said that the Imperial Family lost its longevity as long as God, regardless of the lineage of God.

It seems that he knows something because he has a connection with Amaterasu Omikami.

"Where is Sakuya-bime?"

"There is a shrine where she is said to be at the end of the forest.I think they're probably there."

I checked the time and decided to go.

"Thank you very much.I'll go."

"Well, if you go now, beware that the souls of the dead will gather in the forest at night."

I bowed and left the lord's house.Then, let's go all at once.I decided to take Nova, Rivina, Sephonet, Conoha, and Spica.

"Huff! It's nice to ride with Tact!"

「「…」」

"Huh..."

As a result of rock-paper-scissors, Spica and Sephonet ride together.I don't think it's my imagination to hear Konoha's voice say yes.To be honest, I thought it would be easy to get to Sakuya-bime, but danger detection responds.

"Here comes the attack from below!"

"Dangerous! Tact!"

"...what?"

"Gee! How many tachts should we all hug?"

Spica takes evasive action.Then a gunshot flew from the forest.

"Hee... my tongue... I chewed it."

"Heel. Look, we're both fighting."

"It can't be helped! Barrier!"

That's quite a shot.I used synchrovision for Conoha to capture the enemy.

It's plain strong. I can't tell by the name, but it looks like an undead.for there are arrows stuck in my head.Perhaps the model of this forest is due to Fuji's sea of trees.It's a place famous for suicide and ghosts.

The weapons of the fallen warriors were swords, and the weapons of the musket corps were like matchlock guns.I think I can run away here, but I'll let you become a Buddha.

"Spica! Over there!"

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Spica's star rain fell on the enemy, which completely blocked the movement.

"Sefone, I'll ask you to stop at Halpe,"

"Leave it to me!"

"I can't knock you down, so please concentrate on stopping you."

"Laughing!"

He runs in with Spica and Sephonet knocks him down at Halpe.Meanwhile, Nova blocked her movement with a shadow spell, and Rivina sucked her up in obscurity, and when she was about to die, Conoha invoked a Sanctuary and extinguished it altogether.

I thought it was a completely easy victory, but the gunfire flew in from a completely unexpected direction.He was killed by the afterimage of Spica, and when he fired a light beam at the counterattack, many fallen warriors and gunmen were seen in the forest.There's no advantage in fighting any more.

"There are a great number of enemies in the forest.I'll pull them all out!'Nova and Rivina went into our shadows, and while holding Conoha in their arms, Spica broke away at once.

We reached the plain through the woods, where we were attacked by fallen warriors.However, he completely ignored it and discovered the shrine.It was a great help that you went out of your way to turn on the light.

When we entered the shrine, the cherry blossoms at night were very beautiful.If there is a sakuya bime here, this shrine would be called Asama-jinja Shrine, but there are too many cherry blossoms.We were told that we were fascinated by the stunning cherry blossoms at night.

"Do you like cherry blossoms, traveller from another country?"

There stood a woman with black hair with cherry blossom hair ornaments on her white kimono.It is very beautiful with cherry blossoms at night.

"Come on! Stop it! All three of you!"

"I didn't do anything,"

"... Strange,"

"I don't know what you mean at all.

You've attacked me with your tails, haven't you?Sephonet had stepped on his feet completely out loud!

"Well, you're on good terms with him."

"Well, I think we're on good terms.Are you Mr. Kibana no sakuyabime?"

"Yes, you can say my name very well.Honestly, I think it's long, so please call me Sakuya-bime."

I'm going to say it myself.Sakuyabime asks me if I am dumbfounded.

"Did you come here to see cherry blossoms at night?"

"I really want to say so, but today I'm here to ask you where Amaterasu Omikami, Susano no Mikoto and Tsukiyomi no Mikoto are."

"Is that the place of the three gods? If you go west along the coast of Amaterasu Omikami, you will find a large shrine and you will find it there."

I guess it's Ise Shrine.Next, Susano no Mikoto.Please don't say Izumo Taisha.If this is Shizuoka Prefecture, you have to go all the way to Shimane Prefecture.I want them to stop moving and transferring by train.Spica will come soon, but there will definitely be a fight with the boss on the way, so I really want you to stop.

"I don't know where Susano-no-mikoto is because he is a wild man."

"... I think Susano is at the end of the biggest mountain."

I heard a third party's voice suddenly.I saw a girl lying in the sky on a moon-shaped boat and looking at me with sleepy eyes.It is dressed in purple kimono and the moon is designed.There's no doubt about this child.

"Mr. Tsukuyomi!? Why are you here?"

As expected, it's Tsukuyomi.Even so, Tsukuyomi feels the same atmosphere as Nova.Dear Tsukuyomi,
I came here lying on a moon-shaped boat.

"I want that,"

Look! I'm going to say this.Then Tsukuyomi-sama, who was heard, spoke.

"... No, I can't give it to you because it's my sleeping place.

"...what a luxury.Nova will make it on her own someday."

"Yes, good luck".

"…"

What? This conversation. Anyway, I only knew that Nova had one goal.

"Well... Tsukuyomi?"

"That's right.I came to see you because the moon is beautiful today."

"Is that all?"

"…"

It's completely nova!

"... Then I heard Susano's story, so I answered."

"How do you know where Susano is?"

"...when Amaterasu warned me that the Yagi giant snake was about to come back, I said, "Yayabe."I forgot about it," he said, and headed for sure."

Ah... I solved the mystery of the location here.In Nagano Prefecture, there is a shrine that has a serpentine whose soul turned into a stone when Susanoo overthrew the giant snake.Susano probably headed there.

"Then, shouldn't we hurry before Susano gets rid of him and goes somewhere?"

"... You don't have to worry about that."

"Why?"

"... Susano put priority on fighting the Yagi giant snake over the damage around him.That's why I'm sure I'll wait for the revival of the Yagi giant snake.The Yagi giant snake will not make a comeback when Susano is there.'

That's because he's a natural enemy.In other words, we are waiting for each other, so we have plenty of time.

"... Are you ready? I'm going home soon."

"Well! What should I do to get your beads.

"...I can't give it here.I'll give it to you if you come to my shrine in the land of the dead."

Then Tsukuyomi disappeared.I wish they could tell me how to get to Yominokuni if possible.Then Sakuyabime told me instead.

"There are many ways to go to Yominokuni.It is said that you can go to Yominokuni by using the entrance that Izanagi blocked and by jumping into the lake near the largest mountain in this area with the moon reflected in it."

"I see.Thank you very much."

"No, no. It seems like you are growing cherry blossoms, and if you like, please come here anytime."

Oh... Was it friendly because I was growing cherry blossoms?Does that mean that Prince Shotoku knew this and led me here?It's the same as always.That person... We've figured out where Susanoo is, so that's it for today.

When I gave Sakurabime sakura manju sold in the cherry blossom city before I left, she seemed to like it very much, and she was very happy.It goes without saying that when he was about to leave, he was asked by Nova and others to make Sakura-manju, and that he had to buy all of them.
