The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

Dongfenggu Sanae is very depressed now.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Sanae Higashikata is the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine, but in fact her existence is more mysterious than the two gods enshrined in Moriya Shrine.

Not to mention the trace, even the name is rarely known. Normally, people will only see this miko when special festivals are held. Regardless of whether she is friendly or not, people generally call her Miss Sanae.

Because no one even knew her surname except for the uncle Shanmen who provided the ingredients every day.

Although it is unbearable for an ordinary person to live in such an almost isolated way of life, Sanae is different. She is a priestess who serves the gods.

And in the literal sense, the maiden who is really "serving the gods".

Unlike most mikos in the world who only rely on speculation or use the will of the gods as an excuse, Sanae serves the gods as a real miko, and there are two of them.

Fortunately, although they are aloof gods, they are surprisingly considerate and never make things difficult for the miko. Not only that, in a sense, these two gods also take on the responsibility of "taking care of" the miko. Task.

After all, no matter what, she is still a young girl, and from a human point of view, she is still underage.

For these reasons, Sanae has always felt guilty, because she felt that not only did she fail to fulfill the duties of a miko, but she also caused trouble to the gods she was supposed to serve.

So Sanae has always wanted to do something for the two gods, even if it is a trivial matter, as long as it can help.

So on that day, Miko Sanae, who was full of expectations, finally received her first more formal mission from the god she served——

Stay away from a human being.

Although one shouldn't comment on the orders given by the gods, this mission is too strange no matter how you look at it, right?

Although Sanae felt great doubts about the content of the task, she still followed the will of the god very seriously.

She began to deliberately avoid the human being appointed by the gods - a boy who often came back to the shrine.

To be honest, Sanae never felt the need to avoid this human being until that day when she saw with her own eyes that the boy who was an ordinary human not long ago had demonic power that could rival the great monster.

She was surprised by the other party's changes, and also by the foresight of her own god.

Different from the modern world full of science, in that distant era in the past, the so-called big monsters were disasters themselves.

Their appearance is simply a nightmare for human society. Each one of them has directly and indirectly caused horrific damage to the human group.

It can even be said that in that era, onmyojis, Taoist priests, exorcists, and witches who relied on the power of the gods. These seemingly powerful beings were all products of the abnormal development of human society!

Because if you don't resist, you will die, if you don't resist, you will be eaten. Only by fighting monsters can humans continue to survive. It is in this environment that these seemingly transcendent professions were born.

Sanae is undoubtedly lucky. Although she is a miko with real power, she was born in modern times and in this "peaceful" era.

In this era of thin spiritual power and lack of faith, as a teenager, she was able to match the strength of the gods with a little power of faith.

This is of course not to praise Sanae's extraordinary talents, but simply because the power of faith that the gods can draw from has become so scarce that it makes people desperate.

However, something more desperate is yet to come. In this world where even the gods have a difficult life, a big monster actually appears!

And two at a time!

To be honest, neither Kanako Yasaka nor Suwako Kazuya was willing to show up to deal with these two uninvited monsters.

If it weren't for the other party being too aggressive and wantonly destroying Moriya Shrine, they wouldn't even want to show up.

It's not because of how kind the gods' hearts are, but because they can't be beaten sincerely!

If we were talking about the Age of Gods, or the past era when there was enough faith, not to mention two big monsters, even ten of them would dare to come out and fight.

Anyway, as long as the gods have the power of faith to worship them, they will not die. If they are knocked down, they will recover after cultivating for a period of time.

But it's different now. Faith in Moriya Shrine has become so scarce that it's almost negligible.

If it weren't for the fact that Suwako Seiya used the method of dividing spirits to "steal" faith from the superficial shrines in the world, they wouldn't even be able to maintain their current level.

It was under such an absolutely unfavorable situation that they had to face two big monsters, and two big monsters who somehow managed to remain at the top.

This should have been an impossible situation, but it happened, and it happened in front of me.

Sanae was worried, but also helpless, because now that the other party had taken action against the shrine, she had no reason to escape, and even the gods she served stood on the battlefield, and she had no one to hide from. Plan to get up.

but

Why is the big monster in front of me different from what I imagined?

Although Sanae has never seen a great monster, she has heard stories about great monsters from the gods she serves. Most of them were met by the two gods in the past.

Rebellious, and very difficult to deal with.

This is almost a true portrayal of all great monsters. A newborn monster grows from childhood to maturity, and after a long period of training, it reaches the rank of great monster.

Generally, monsters that reach the level of a big monster are already famous overlords. In the past, there was basically only one big monster in an area, and the rest were just subordinate ordinary monsters.

There is no concept of big monsters living in groups. They basically have their own territory. Even if they sometimes act together, there will never be a situation where two big monsters rule together in an area.

So if they fight with others, no matter whether the other party is a demon, a human or a god, it is basically the same routine. Either I will beat you to death, or you will beat me to death. There is very little talk about surrendering, let alone giving in. .

Even ordinary monsters rarely have the "awareness of current affairs" type before they have tried the depths. They usually fight first.

So Sanae really doesn’t understand.

The boy in front of them, who was suspected of being a tengu monster, clearly had a strength that shocked them all, but he still chose to lower his head.

Is this really a big monster?

Although there were question marks in Sanae's heart, she maintained a cautious fighting style very well. She had been watching calmly until there was no order from the god.

Similarly, Suwako is also waiting and watching, but she is a god herself. Naturally, she will not simply wait for instructions like Sanae. She is watching the battlefield on the other side.

She was waiting for the moment when Yasaka Kanako, another deity of Moriya Shrine, suppressed her opponent, until she saw the figure of the friend she had placed high hopes for falling from the sky.
