"So this weird head is the spoils of your trip to a parallel world?"

Izanami tilted her head and looked at the Rokuko in Kagome's arms. She went over and poked his head with her finger, "What's the use of this thing?"

Louhu shouted subconsciously: "——Don't poke me!"

As a result, he was straightened on the head by Geto Xia Yu the next second, and was knocked twice as a warning.

Kagome said to Izanami, "Excuse me."

Izanami obviously couldn't understand why they brought this strange head back.

"After a trip to another world, you always have to bring back some local specialties." Jiuyuan said casually: "The cursed spirit in this world has been destroyed, so this is the only one we have."

"In other words, it's a limited edition." Gojo Satoru added casually.

Izanami: "... Even if this thing is a limited edition, it doesn't mean anything, right? Whatever, just enjoy it if you like it."

She fully played the role of a mother who didn't understand her son's preferences but was willing to respect him.

Kuen: ...

So Jiuyuan took the head of the difficult-to-handle coral home and placed it next to the altar.

In the beginning, Lou Hu would still make harsh remarks, but after realizing that they were useless, he finally seemed to be no longer troubled by the years.

He wouldn't even be surprised if Jiuyuan put a mouthwash cup on his head before leaving the house in the morning.

Although he has enough money now, Jiuyuan is a nostalgic person and still lives in his old house, claiming that it looks more old-fashioned and mysterious.

In the morning, Odasaku and Geto Suguru would take turns making breakfast. After learning some strange little tricks from his good friends, Morobushi Kagemitsu also eagerly joined the ranks of making breakfast.

Every morning, several children from this big family would finish their breakfast and go to school with their schoolbags. Yinyin was a little annoyed at them at first, but when he thought that the shrine would be completed soon and that Jiuyuan said she would bring him two new friends, he calmed down.

As for Jiuyuan, he is the only one besides the children who doesn't touch the kitchen.

In fact, his cooking skills are not bad, but when asked by Yinyin, he would say with confidence: "I work so hard to be a boss just so that I don't have to cook for myself."

Louhu: "...What a lazy brat."

Then, the die-hard fan Yinyin would hit him on the head with the plastic shovel that Sakura used to shovel clay, saying, "How can a god be compared to an ordinary child!"

Lou Hu: “…”

No, when he came here he only saw that this kid was greedy and lazy!

In order to change Louhu's behavior, Yinyin decided to put him in Jiuyuan's store.

The shop was closed for some time for repairs. When Jiuyuan's power was fully restored, Yinyin reminded him that he could return the bodies of the "vests" that were previously stored with him.

Yinyin told him: "In fact, there are quite a few monsters who are willing to give their bodies to you. We have all signed temporary contracts. As long as you want to use their bodies, you can use them anytime."

Jiuyuan: "It's a pity that I can't use it anymore." He smiled and said, "I still prefer to use my own body."

Yinyin, who had nothing to do, finally found an opportunity to show her value thanks to Jiuyuan's arrangement.

So he quickly made arrangements to return the spirits of those monsters to their owners.

"But, what to do next... is up to them to decide." Yinyin put her hands in the sleeves of her kimono and reported respectfully with her head lowered.

Jiuyuan was leaning against the sliding door, looking at the scenery outside the yard.

It is autumn now, a time when the weather is pleasant and it is easy to feel drowsy during the day.

The boy smiled and asked Yinyin: "Are they all in the store now?"

Yinyin shuddered: "...Yes."

"Let them in," said Jiuyuan.

Yinyin led these familiar faces over.

The first one was the familiar Hanako. On the boy's pale face, only the dazzling red eyes were particularly eye-catching. He was not wearing a white shirt and red overalls, but a white kimono, looking like a smaller version of Kuen.

Next to him was Hachishaku-sama, who was wearing a skirt with a pattern he had never seen before. The hat on his head was changed to a straw hat suitable for autumn, tied with an orange ribbon.

"Master Jiuyuan." His face was already filled with an infatuated look, and he stared straight at the boy who was sitting by the door. "You are still so... I can't take my eyes off you."

"You really haven't changed at all." Xue Nan teased him softly.

Jiuyuan found that compared with the snow man he played, the real snow man had a more erratic temper.

The man with the slit mouth beside him remained silent as usual.

But he would use his eyes to express his feelings and some expectations to Jiuyuan.

Just like a dog waiting for orders from its master.

Then, a pair of arms suddenly appeared in the air and gently embraced Jiuyuan——

Then the space was torn apart, and a young man who looked 70% similar to Jiuyuan, but with a more gloomy temperament, suddenly appeared with a smile on his face, and just hung himself on him.

"You are so cunning, Kisaragi." Gin appeared from the courtyard, covering her face with a fan, "You relied on your appearance to resemble that of Master Jiuyuan to make him reluctant to push you away."

Ruyue just smiled and said nothing.

But he also knew when to stop and soon let go of himself.

Jiuyuan got straight to the point and asked directly: "What do you want to do next?"

Hanako, who was the most pragmatic, was stared at by Hisaen and said directly, "...It's all right. I can stay in the store and continue to work. Just give me a salary."

"Ah, so cunning, you want to take up a place first? Then I want to stay in Master Kuen's shop too - no, it would be even better if I could go to Master Kuen's shrine, hehe..." Yasha narrowed his eyes, "However, Master Kuen can arrange anything for me."

Xue Nan seized the opportunity. He smiled and asked, "As for the shrine, what do you think of me? I think I should be more suitable in terms of image, right?"

"No, I look better this way." Kisaragi retorted, "Besides, I can change my appearance at will, which is very useful."

"Ah, but I heard that Master Kuen once said that his shrine messenger was a fox."

Seeing them all talking about grabbing a good position close to Jiuyuan, Yinyin, who already had a sense of competition and crisis, immediately said, "No, the messenger of God has already made the decision!"

Jiuyuan touched the angry Yinyin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Then everyone should help in the store now," he said, "the shrine is not that fast anyway."

…

…

Next, Jiuyuan will face some very realistic troubles.

That is examinations and further studies.

"It's rare to find a god as passionate about knowledge and learning as I am," he boasted.

Without Yinyin chatting with him in his mind, he couldn't even daydream in class, so he simply started memorizing textbooks and exercises. However, considering that he was no longer human, he learned these things very quickly, which seemed a little unfair to ordinary students.

Therefore, he had always taken his exams in a separate examination room, and the school, under pressure, simply let him skip a grade.

Sakaguchi Ango suggested to him: "...just go to college directly."

Jiuyuan: “…”

So he had to start preparing for the exam honestly.

I don't know who told him the news, but Izanami actually asked him if he wanted to apply to the University of Tokyo and encouraged him.

Later, even his sister Amaterasu found out about it and assured him that it would be a sunny day on the day of his exam and told him not to worry.

He: “…I’m not worried about that.”

After all, he is a god!

However, one time when he went to a bookstore to buy supplementary materials, he was recognized by a girl who used to be his fan. Seeing that Jiuyuan actually bought assault materials related to the University of Tokyo, the girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that the other person was staring at him, Jiuyuan looked at him without any airs.

"Um, Jiuyuan-kun... Oh no, it's Jiuyuan-sama, are you going to apply to the University of Tokyo?" The girl almost used a familiar name, but quickly changed her words.

Jiuyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he nodded.

"Well," he said, "...yes."

Girl: “…” It’s actually true.

What if Jiu Yuan passed the exam... She quickly threw these thoughts out of her mind and just smiled and blessed the boy: "Come on!"

Then he hurried away holding his book.

Kuen didn't take this little incident to heart, because his shrine was completed not long after, and as the master, he had almost nothing to do except show up because his subordinates were so capable.

During this time, Yinyin had become quite proficient in these tasks. In addition, the two Zashiki-warashi often came to play with him. Yinyin became more cheerful after making new friends. So after meeting some messengers of other gods, he learned a lot from them on how to serve the main gods.

At the beginning, when there were more things to do, in addition to Oto-Oto and Kagome Kyo, Gin and Yukio were also called over.

Their image was relatively in line with the atmosphere of the shrine, but after everything was gradually getting on track, they no longer appeared often. Instead, they went to the store next door more often to run the business. It seemed that Yukio was obsessed with running the business.

It could also be that he wanted to achieve more results to be seen by Jiuyuan. In a place like this, he had an inexplicable competitive spirit.

Jiuyuan, who considers himself a conscientious boss, certainly does not encourage employees to compete with each other, so he forces them to work in shifts.

When the admission letter from the University of Tokyo was received, the first person to learn the news was Sakaguchi Ango, who passed the news to Oda Sakunosuke, who then passed it on to Hisaen.

The day before the entrance ceremony, Jiuyuan received a formal suit that his mother ordered for him.

There was also a handwritten note saying "Congratulations on your admission" on it.

On the back it says [Although I can’t come over, I will watch you through the mirror. ]

He smiled and put the note into the drawer beside him.

Early the next morning, a group of children suddenly rushed into Jiuyuan's room while she was still lying in bed.

In addition to Sakura and the others, there were also Ne-Neon, Ichiko, and Ni-ko. The zashiki-warashi patted his quilt: "Wake up——" "Wake up~" "Entrance ceremony, it's time to go to the entrance ceremony!"

Yinyin looked at Jiuyuan who was getting up slowly and took a step back: "...I didn't succeed in stopping them."

"It's okay. I'm not angry." He ruffled Yinyin's hair. "Go out, kids. I need to change my clothes."

He changed into the new clothes his mother had sent him, put the note in his pocket, and pretended that Izanami had attended his entrance ceremony in person.

After going downstairs, he found that Geto was waiting for him. The latter was calm and took the initiative to explain: "The entrance ceremony is such an important day. As God, I shouldn't be absent, right?"

The most outrageous thing was that on the way to the venue, there were actually quite a few people peeking at him. Although they didn't dare to speak loudly, their eyes were all fixed on Jiuyuan.

Jiuyuan, who was used to being noticed, didn't feel anything special, but the little followers behind him were whispering.

"There are so many people." "It's so lively."

Xia Yujie, who was standing next to him, took out a box of yogurt from somewhere and gave it to him, "This is for the morning."

However, this is not the end. When he arrived outside the venue, Jiuyuan discovered that there was another acquaintance here.

"Mr. Gojo is here too?" He bit the straw of his yogurt and looked at the man in formal attire in front of him.

"No matter what, today is an important day for Kuen-kun."

Seeing that it was almost time to enter, Gojo Satoru naturally took out his phone and said, "Let's take a photo?"

This was exactly what he wanted, as he could send the photos to his mother who was stuck at home and unable to go out.

They stood under a lush tree nearby, with its green leaves drooping slightly.

As the protagonist of today, Kuen stood in the middle, with the human children on his left, and Gojo Satoru also standing on this side. On the other side, that is, on the right, stood Kagome Ken, Otono, and their first and second sons.

The children stood in the front.

Jiuyuan thought that someone like him who came to the initiation ceremony with his family must be very conspicuous.

The person who helped take the photo was a girl passing by, and she took Gojo Satoru's phone.

Counting down to everyone who has already lined up: "Are you ready? I want to shoot——"

"three."

"two."

"Ah, wait, the note my mother gave me..." Jiuyuan suddenly remembered, quickly took out the note, and held it upright in front of his chest.

"one."

"Okay! Eggplant——"

The god stood in the middle, and together with his messengers and his bonds, they were briefly frozen in this moment.

There are no gods at this moment, only an ordinary boy and his relatives and friends.

The author has something to say:

See you next time, everyone!
