Chapter 99 Ebisu, You Don’t Understand Love
Suzuki Sonoko is a flower maniac.
But her obsession isn't limited to people.
To put it more broadly, she is obsessed with all the legendary and romantic plot twists.
For example, after missing out on meeting Mr. Reiji Munakata, I discovered that I had accidentally bought a notebook from him several years ago.
Another example is Rei Kiryu, who is "suffering from a terminal illness", so even though they are in love (to be determined), they cannot be together.
Once you encounter it, it is easy for your girlish heart to overflow, and when you feel like acting, you can even shed a few tears at the right time.
But because of her background, Suzuki Sonoko is very realistic about her love life: she firmly believes that all relationships are developed over time, but the beginning of any relationship requires a reasonable and well-founded opportunity - no matter how good your personality is or how good your looks make strangers stay away, how can they have the leisure to explore your inner beauty?
Fortunately: Although Suzuki Sonoko does not have a face that makes people fall in love at first sight, making the opposite sex willing to explore her inner beauty, she has made most people willing to be patient and coax her money.
After a long time, maybe some people with poor eyesight will be able to find some cute points in her.
But will the God of Wealth be short of money?
In Ms. Suzuki's opinion, there must be a give and take. Since there is no hatred without reason, there should be no love without reason.
Mr. Ebisu's inexplicable affection and loyalty really felt "heavy" to her.
Not only was their marriage arranged at birth, but he also guarded her silently, persisted for almost twenty years, and resolutely shared all his strength with her - if this were in a melodramatic TV series, let alone a heartwarming second male lead, this would probably be a hot water bottle that could scald the female lead to death on the spot, right?
After listening to it in confusion, Yuanzi was so moved that her eyes went dark for a while, followed by a mysterious panic.
What does he want from me?
It’s not that gods can’t fall in love with humans, but there must be very few who love humans so much that they would go to great lengths to turn humans into gods. Yuanzi guessed that there must be very few who love humans so much that they would go to great lengths to turn humans into gods!
However, until she signed the marriage contract - in fact, whether she signed it or not, this marriage was an objective fact that happened eighteen years ago, and the current government office in Takama-ga-hara was established after the Meiji Restoration and in the human world, and the form cannot change the essence - Sonoko was confused when she was led out of the building by Ebisu and went deep into the residence of the gods, and she found that this situation seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined.
It is definitely not uncommon for gods to marry each other.
But this kind of marriage mostly remains at the nominal level. If they like each other and stay together for a while, but get bored, they will separate. They will not even deliberately mention each other in their beliefs to exchange the power of both parties.
Those who are more open-minded may not even bother with the ceremony.
There are also those who are the most open-minded and are purely seeking pleasure (the object is usually the shrine maiden enshrined in their own shrine, who can be considered as the god's wives in a sense).
In other words, Ebisu is the most real marriage in the past thousand years since the divine rule.
Not just a few, she is unique!
So even though Suzuki Sonoko was just an eighteen-year-old mortal, she actually had some vague fame among the gods.
The insignificant and insignificant gods among the eight million gods roughly know that Ebisu has a beloved wife, and those guys who are qualified to participate in the gods' meeting, although most of them think that Ebisu has been kicked in the head by a donkey, will not deliberately dwell on this matter.
In order to express basic respect for his colleagues, he would even intentionally avoid using terms like "mortal woman" or "fools" when occasionally mentioning them, and would address humans in a condescending manner.
Commonly known as "that person".
When Suzuki Sonoko came to her senses, they were standing on a small path in a meadow. She looked up and saw the sky was high and the clouds were light. Ebisu was holding her hand very calmly (the way their fingers were intertwined, making their palms sweat), and was about to greet an old lady who was walking towards them from afar.
The old lady's expression was full of motherly love. She spoke with concern from a distance, "Didn't you say that Lord Ebisu was seriously injured a while ago? Are you okay now?"
Ebisu nodded seriously.
The old lady then acted as if she was relieved, but when she turned around and saw Sonoko being blocked by Ebisu, she was stunned at first, and her expression seemed as if she was about to say hello.
When he saw the two people's hands clasped together under their sleeves, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, took a step back, and silently saluted her.
Miss Suzuki suffered it without knowing why.
However, before she could come to her senses, the aunt whose race should be a divine weapon had already disappeared in a flash.
With Big Mom's disappearance, the news about "that person finally came to Takama-ga-hara" spread rapidly like an infectious disease, so that as soon as they arrived in front of the residence of the God of Wealth, Okuninushi, who was also one of the Seven Lucky Gods, had already rushed to the scene to watch the excitement.
Okuninushi, also known as Mahakala, is a professional god who brings good fortune. Legend has it that "he stays in the kitchen and does not go to the world, but can drive away all filth." He can be replaced by China's Kitchen God, who looks big and strong and very bold.
With a big gold chain, a big gold watch, and shiny sunglasses, he looks like a gangster.
The big guy was very outgoing. He didn't even wait for Ebisu to enter the house. He rushed up and patted Ebisu's shoulder, not caring whether the other person's gentle figure could withstand his strength.
After the photo shoot, he circled around the Suzuki Garden like a bear, sighing in admiration as he turned. When he was excited, he touched his chin and made many auxiliary movements to express his appreciation and contemplation.
The garden was inexplicably surrounded by gods, and I felt like a historical relic visited by elementary school students.
After five minutes, Mahakala may have seen enough and became very confused.
"It's nothing special." He glanced at Ebisu. "Is it worth all that?"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Yuanzi touched her face subconsciously and said, "I think I look pretty good..."
His facial features are neat and smooth.
Ebisu didn't answer Daikokuten's question. Instead, he accidentally got the point where Sonoko was confused. He raised his hand to touch her hair, and with two strokes, he hooked off a transparent clip that was holding her hairstyle. He praised her in an unskilled way, "It looks very beautiful."
The young man spoke with a blank expression, but his tone was very firm, as if he was repeating a truth that everyone knew.
Yuanzi almost swelled up due to the praise.
On the other side, Okuninushi looked at the two idiots in front of him and instantly made an expression as if he had a toothache, and his whole expression of sourness was very lifelike.
=====
The depths of Takama-ga-hara still have a mythical beauty. The place where Ebisu lives is quite large, definitely over 1,800 meters, but somehow it seems to be surrounded by some lingering fog, making the entire building look gloomy.
Judging from the fact that he was accompanied by a man in a black suit when he went out, Sonoko thought that there would be a lot of working tools in the mansion, but in fact, she was dragged along all the way and didn't meet many people breathing.
The destination was a Japanese-style room at the end of the third floor. Although Ebisu was wearing a Western-style three-piece suit, he did not look out of place standing there. Sonoko watched him open the door, revealing an empty room.
To say it is empty is not really the right word.
There was a shelf in front of the tall screen at the end of the room, and a piece of clothing was hanging on the shelf.
The base is a very light pink, and the specific material of the garden cannot be seen at the moment, but it is covered with patterns of varying depths from bottom to top. It is obviously a plain color, but it is forced to create a kind of gorgeous ostentation. However, the layout of the patterns is very appropriate, and the background of the screen looks like a carefully painted platinum painting.
Sonoko: ...
Sonoko: "Wow."
"For me?"
Ebisu pursed his lips and nodded, saying simply, "Wedding dress."
As soon as the words fell, the originally flowing and beautiful clothes suddenly became heavy in Yuanzi's eyes.
Her expression wasn't bitter or resentful, but it clearly didn't match the feeling of surprise and joy. Ebisu curled his fingers awkwardly, then placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Don't you like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it..."
If I had to describe my current mood, Yuanzi felt that "I cannot repay such a great favor" was a fairly appropriate expression.
——Because I feel that I have “nothing to repay”, I treat even the “favor” as if I were taking bitter medicine.
But you can't say that directly.
However, Ebisu didn't know what he understood. The handsome young man took off his windbreaker and only wore a vest. He took two steps forward and fumbled around in the place where the wall used to be. Only then did Sonoko discover that there was a cabinet hidden inside the wall.
Ebisu didn't know whether he was nervous or just not good at this kind of thing, but he had a hard time pulling the cabinet door.
As the creaking sound gradually disappeared, another shelf appeared inside the wall.
There is also a piece of clothing hanging on the rack.
The difference is that this one uses a very bright goose yellow as the base, embroidered with clusters of peony flowers, and has a circle of gold thread on the edge. Just looking at it gives you a sense of jeweled luxury.
Yuanzi first exclaimed "Wow", and then discovered the key point.
"Is this shelf... smaller than the one outside?"
Mr. Ebisu paused as he touched the fabric and said, "This is your fourteen-year-old size."
Just as Sonoko was about to ask why she was fourteen, she suddenly remembered: she started going on blind dates on a large scale at the age of fourteen, and her first partner at that time was fifteen-year-old Ximen Sojiro.
So her girlish heart, which was fluttering with excitement due to the beautiful clothes, was instantly extinguished by half.
Wow, why do I suddenly feel heavier?
Ebisu probably didn't quite understand what she was thinking as she stared at the clothes in a daze, so he just explained, "The one outside was made recently in a hurry. If you still like this one, there's still time to make a new one."
Yuanzi thought that, leaving aside the craftsmanship, it was true that the raw materials of the clothes might come from a rather mysterious source, but they were simply too expensive—not only expensive, but the way they were stored and the degree of cherishing they received were also incredibly stressful!
Ms. Suzuki was genuinely puzzled: "Why do you like me?"
The young man looked back in confusion and said "Huh?" in a daze.
Sonoko stared at the dark circles under his eyes, which he couldn't hide, and repeated, "Why did you fall for me? Was it just because of a promise you made to my mother?"
——We haven’t even been together before, how could you fall in love with someone so mysterious?
It wasn't until she asked that the god seemed to finally understand why Sonoko had been so passive in the beginning.
Ebisu's ability to take care of himself is very poor, and usually even his tea is poured by a magic tool. At this moment, he snapped his fingers, and a big man in a black suit suddenly appeared with a box in his hand.
After opening the box, Yuanzi found a thick photo album inside.
Ebisu tapped the hard cover, motioning for her to open it herself.
The first photo was taken at the door of the delivery room.
In the picture, there is a little boy who is only six or seven years old. He is wearing a short-sleeved vest and overalls, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He is standing under the operating light, holding up his scissors hand with an expressionless face. The comments are handwritten with colored pens.
My wife is about to be born.
The second photo was still taken in the hospital.
However, the scene changed to indoors. Yuanzi stared at the photo for a long time with a frown, and had to admit: the little thing lying in the incubator was probably herself as a baby.
Because she was clear-headed at that time and was acting silly, with her eyes wide open and her body as dead as a fish. She was not at all like other children who liked to move around.
Ebisu Scissorhands also made an appearance.
From the comments, we can see that Miss Suzuki, who was mentally retarded for a period of time, was also puzzled by the young God of Wealth.
He wrote: "Is she dead? Why doesn't she move?"
Suzuki Sonoko thinks this is called black history.
If we continue like this, there is such a photo at almost every turning point in her life. Ebisu at different ages, making the same silly scissors hand gesture for ten years, and appearing in the camera persistently.
The more Sonoko read, the colder she felt in her heart. She never knew that she had so many past events that could be called emoticons - even when she attended her sister's birthday party after graduating from junior high school, there was an elusive Ebisu in the crowd, making a scissors gesture.
In the photo, Miss Suzuki's face was covered with cake by her sister, and she would be unrecognizable without her clothes.
The person who delivered the box came again soon after, probably to remind the ancestor that it was time to change the medicine. Yuanzi simply sat cross-legged on the ground, tossing and turning for a long time.
Then she discovered a problem.
In these photos, she is indeed growing up, while Ebisu is sometimes older and sometimes younger.
——He was clearly a child when she was born, and he had grown into a teenager when she was in elementary school. But at the junior high school entrance ceremony, Suzuki Sonoko looked like a girl, but the man with the scissor hands who appeared in the photo was a little boy of only six or seven years old.
The more Yuanzi looked, the more confused she became, as if the timeline in her mind was stuck. She held the notebook and wanted to ask, but when she pushed open the door, she found the corridor empty. After a few more steps, she heard voices coming from the room on the left. Yuanzi looked inside through the crack in the door and found that he seemed to have changed the medicine and was putting on his gown.
At a glance, the part covered under Ebisu's collar was almost entirely wrapped in bandages.
The girl leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that the other party might be so weak because he had borrowed his strength from her. She was so moved that she felt a headache.
——Wow, he loves me so much.
——But why does he love me so much?
This kind of love is too heavy, and it might be really stressful. In fact, Miss Suzuki, who has never learned to be sincere, is stingy with the love that she should return, and begins to think divergently in confusion.
Then, I don’t know where the inspiration came from, and I discovered the key point: the scars exposed in Ebisu’s clothes... looked so familiar!
Yuanzi knocked his head and tried to recall, and suddenly he remembered!
When Yato had to take away Ichigo Kurosaki's artifact, which was incompatible with the system, because of an emergency, and Kurone-chan was determined to go to Soul Society to gather people for a fight, and was so anxious that no one could stop him, Yato had briefly had such a scar on his body.
Sonoko remembered Yato saying that it was the pain that would only occur if one was stabbed by a divine weapon.
If it gets serious, even God will die.
Once she thought of this, and recalled Ebisu's bandages, Miss Suzuki always felt that the two people she wanted to remarry with seemed to have short lives.
If both of them died one after another on the eve of the wedding, she and her husband might have easily escaped legal punishment!
wrong.
Sonoko looked down at the photo: If a god were to be reborn after death, it would likely be a six-year-old child. If he got married then, it wouldn't just be bigamy.
He's also suspected of pedophilia.
Starting from three years, the maximum death penalty...
"what's on your mind?"
A gentle and pleasant male voice suddenly came from above. Sonoko was still immersed in thoughts of heinous crimes and did not tell the truth.
She replied, "I wonder when you will die."
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself in the face.
Unexpectedly, Ebisu was just stunned when he heard this, then he thought about it seriously and told her: "I can hold on for at least three months."
Sonoko: Oh, I see.
——Get married next month, become a widow the month after.
"But it doesn't matter," the young man said in a calm tone that didn't sound like he was talking about death. "Even if I'm a new generation, I'll grow up soon. At most... I'll make you wait for me for half a year."
Sonoko thought that from the scientific knowledge she had received before, ordinary gods were still afraid when talking about the replacement of generations, and those with such weak faith as Yato were even afraid to die.
Can the God of Wealth do whatever he wants?
But as far as she knew, once a god was reborn, he would lose all his previous memories. To put it bluntly, his soul was transformed like a shell. This marriage life was as difficult as falling in love for the first time fifty times.
Cycle of widowhood and falling in love again.
A new husband every day.
Although it is indeed a very dramatic and classic movie plot, Ms. Suzuki looked at the tall and thin figure in front of her and said with a slightly cold distress: But in this plot, the heroine's role is really troublesome.
And the male protagonist is so affectionate and loyal, it's hard to refuse...
Thinking of this, Yuanzi suddenly touched his forehead. There should be a so-called "divine nature" here.
She tugged at Ebisu's shirt and asked him, "Were you seriously ill a while ago, about ten days ago?"
This was said by the Godly Aunt.
Ebisu was confused for a moment and said, "Oh, yes."
He said: "I was seriously injured and thought this generation was doomed, but because of an accident... I finally got better."
Sonoko asked, "Before you died, did you intend to give me all your power, but then realized you couldn't die, so you stopped?"
Suzuki Sonoko still remembers that according to the plan, she was just going to smooth things over, but things went wrong and she was pushed into a god by the huge energy that kept coming in. The power that she could not contain spread outwards, and she happened to be standing on Fuyuki, a land that "completely belonged" to her in a sense. The quantitative change eventually led to a qualitative change.
Later, when Kurosaki Ichigo described Fuyuki at that time to her, he said that the white light rising from the land was as thick as the waves, hitting one after another, very fierce.
Ebisu tilted his head and blinked, not quite understanding what "dissipating all power" meant.
But he didn't know how to summarize the key points. He neither nodded nor shook his head in response to his wife's question. Instead, he squatted down in front of her with awkward movements, clumsily held her hand on her knee, and tentatively picked it up and put it against his face.
Then he put it down quickly as if he had been scalded.
"Don't worry," he turned his head and cleared his throat, staring into Sonoko's eyes and said seriously, "Anyway, I will always leave them all to you before I take over."
Sonoko: ...
Sonoko: "Thank you?"
Suzuki Sonoko has never learned how to be sincere, but fortunately she doesn't ask others to be sincere to her. When someone loves her very much and she can't respond with the same love, she may even have the idea of running away.
——Most of her fiancés saw through this so easily that none of them would openly say words like "like" or "love" to her.
As far as the matter of [having a crush on someone for more than ten years is definitely too heavy, she wants to run away, so she never tells anyone], Mr. Kudo Shinichi is really experienced.
but……
Sonoko raised her hand to touch the face of the man in front of her, and when she touched his cheek all the way to his collar, her fingers felt the rough touch of the bandage. She thought: Although everything shown so far, including the album, wedding dress, and waiting, make people feel deep affection and loyalty, but when it comes to the individual in front of her, she does not feel this kind of pressure in his eyes.
Yuanzi pressed her lips against the young man's slightly cool skin and thought to herself, am I so bad that I want someone's true love, and after that I still question their feelings?
While she was stunned, Ebisu was also stunned, and the look in his eyes could even be called amazement rather than simple surprise.
——It’s this fresh and warm feeling.
Ebisu looked at the girl's eyes, which seemed particularly empty as she seemed to be lost in thought: The so-called gods must be adhering to something.
Although they may appear to be acting recklessly or playing around with the world, in essence, they are still guardians of the ears born from faith. Since there is a bottom line that needs to be adhered to, they must maintain rock-solid calmness.
Therefore, the eyes of gods always look cold.
This kind of coldness is not indifference, but the peace that has long been formed after being refined by time.
Humans may be alive, but they are not rare.
There are all kinds of human personalities, but they are forgotten with every generation.
In fact, the diary that Ebisu showed to Sonoko was not the only one.
Born as the God of Wealth, he easily understood that wealth cannot bring true happiness to humans.
I don’t know when it started, but I felt a sense of mission and made filling the world with true happiness my life goal.
In order to achieve this goal, a certain generation of Ebisu hopes to use the method of controlling demons to first control the disasters in the world.
He started to teach himself puppetry at an early age and became a magician. However, as a god of fortune, he would be stabbed every time he used puppetry to give a name to a demon. The accumulated injuries would soon lead to his death, causing him to reincarnate very frequently.
But every reincarnation of Ebisu will pursue the goals of the previous generation and the cycle will continue.
Because the generations changed too frequently and the mission he wanted to shoulder was too heavy, Ebisu had not spent time specifically observing a particular human being for a long time, and always focused on the entire group.
——He watches every episode of "Hot News" and "Social Phenomenon Focus" on time.
As for the Goddess...
The God’s Wife is not actually unique.
Just like the villagers would give birth to a new girl every few years in order to worship the sea god, if you really count, even the shrine maidens who practice and worship in the shrine can actually be said to be alternative candidates for the god's wife. It's just that after the era of theocracy, the gods valued the faith that humans can provide, so they set rules and no longer easily do such things with human girls.
When Ebisu was worshipped by Mrs. Tomoko, it was simply because the generation had just changed and he had not yet been informed of the new regulations in recent years, so he agreed rashly.
Later...
Later, the newly born Isaburo Daimyojin took on the responsibility and learned from his predecessors. When he grew up a little, he began to practice puppetry.
This time, Ebisu suddenly discovered that his power seemed to be restricted by something invisible.
Yan Mi questioned him for a long time and checked a lot of information. In the end, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot - he agreed too readily without adding any restrictions. The girl he accepted was not a slave girl at all, but the wife of the god!
Apart from the Yin God and the Yang God, no one has ever gotten married so realistically in thousands of years!
Because such a "contract" gave away too many things, Yan Mi, as the guide, was shocked and immediately suggested that he cancel this contact.
Ebisu originally wanted to agree.
However, the newly named demon soon went crazy. But before Ebisu disposed of the failed product, he keenly realized that the extent of his stab wound this time seemed to be slightly different from the experimental data left by the previous Ebisu.
If the original damage was ten points, now it is only six points.
The unexpectedly born Miss Suzuki was thus preserved as the wife of the god.
Because she is useful.
Although there are certain restrictions on the priesthood, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, because the tolerable range of being stabbed has become higher, Ebisu's frequency of giving names to puppets has also increased. This time, the second generation has been quickly replaced before the puppet has even grown into a teenager.
He was not afraid of death, so he was soon reborn.
The new Ebisu found that he was growing faster.
Dozens of chapters ago, we mentioned that Suzuki Sonoko has a [source of blessing] that far exceeds that of ordinary gods of fortune, so that she is blessed with great luck and her luck value is MAX.
The word "Fuyuan" is actually closer to merit.
The gods of fortune of this generation bless mankind, so some of it accumulates and will dissipate at death.
Although this dissipation did not mean that the power really disappeared, the newly born god of fortune had to spend a long time adapting to the power and gathering it again.
This process of cohesion is, internally, a process of re-adapting to strength, and externally, a process of growing up from a child.
But this time, the newborn Ebisu grew from about six or seven years old to ten years old in less than a year.
How could that be?
That generation of Ebisu was a little surprised, but he still started practicing puppetry in advance. Then suddenly one day, he unexpectedly met his wife who was closely connected with him, and slowly understood the reason.
It was the marriage that was divided in half.
The second daughter of the Suzuki family is the divine wife of Ebisu, the god of wealth. As long as his faith exists, this identity will not change no matter how many generations pass.
Even on the day when the previous generation died and the new god was not yet born, and the so-called God of Wealth did not really exist, her identity would not change.
So when the previous generation Ebisu died, although the blessings he had accumulated dissipated, the half that was divided equally between his wife still remained in the girl.
After the change of generations, the new god was young, and the balance of power became that he had less and she had more, so the blessing flowed back along that "line" to a certain extent.
He should have started to cultivate his strength from scratch, but now he had an extra guarantee from the boss.
At that time, Ebisu, who was only ten years old, was stunned and exclaimed "Ah", thinking that he had found a way.
He still kept naming the puppets at a high frequency, because the pain became bearable, the monsters he studied became stronger and stronger, and soon it would be time for another generation.
Before the change of generation, he transferred all his blessings to his wife through that connecting line.
Okuninushi once almost suspected the existence of a god because of his weak divine light. As a hidden rebel who had been lurking on the popularity list for a long time, Ebisu had mastered some skills to hide his traces.
He never tells lies because he is not good at lying and people will find out if he tells too much.
He only tells the truth in short sentences.
Okuninushi asked him what happened, and he said it was nothing.
"I temporarily gave my power to my wife."
Okuninushi's expression at that time was as if he had eaten a frog and it was stuck in his throat for a long time.
"You're giving your power to humans?!"
wrong.
"You actually married a human?!"
Ebisu was stunned by his yell and subconsciously asked, "Is it not possible?"
The confusion is particularly real.
Okuninushi wiped his face and wanted to turn around and call a meeting with the Seven Lucky Gods to teach this idiot an urgent lesson. If that didn't work, he would just let Bishamon beat him up!
——Being constantly washed by such a large amount of blessings, that human girl will sooner or later transform into a god.
——But if he gave up his [power] and [luck] in this way, if there was a slight accident, even if he was stabbed by his own artifact a little bit, he would probably fall from power quickly because his resistance would drop to zero!
The Seven Lucky Gods held several meetings, but they couldn't convince him at all.
Okuninushi once wondered if he was crazy, but Ebisu did not refute anything.
So the rumor started, and many creatures traveling between this shore and the other shore said that the affectionate god wanted to grant his beloved girl immortality, and loved her so much that he wanted to give her everything he had.
I really gave her everything.
So because of the accident, the god easily fell from grace.
This time, after the "affectionate" god was reborn, he was not surprised to find that because there was more power flowing back, the time he needed to grow was shortened again.
Ebisu almost regained his youthful appearance within two years.
So this method is feasible.
He no longer had to spend more than ten years or even decades to grow up slowly, learning step by step how to gain strength, and practice puppetry only when he had enough strength, and then die from the stab wound not long after.
Although his frequency of generational changes seemed to have increased after squeezing out the water from his growth period of more than a decade, a careful calculation revealed that the time he could devote to research had increased several times.
Ebisu thought it was worth it.
So before he died for the fourth time, he followed the procedures and once again transferred all his blessings to his wife.
This time, the time required for growth is only six months.
Because he did it secretly enough, even the gods' meetings and gatherings were not delayed, and most gods did not even realize that he had changed generations.
Even Okuninushi only thought that he had transferred his power to wash the girl's body once again, and then he learned his lesson and took half of it back at the right time.
To a certain extent, if he relied on this point, he could completely conceal the loophole of his frequent generation changes. Even if the gods of Takama-ga-hara discovered that there were sorcerers studying demons, they would not suspect him.
Yato once told Sonoko that the Great Fortune Statue was so eager to starve itself to death that it would rather give you its power.
——Because when he gave her the power, Ebisu was indeed going to die.
The one half a month ago should be the fifth time.
This experiment was very tortuous. Ebisu originally thought it was a success, but who knew that the controlled demon actually had a brain. After pretending to be obedient for a while, it took the opportunity to resist. Because its strength was too strong and its timing was good, it almost exposed him after it went berserk!
This matter caused quite a stir, because the Golden King, who was known as the incarnation of the country, brought the god Huojin to negotiate.
Takama-ga-hara was furious.
Ebisu knew how weak his own fighting ability was, and he calmly prepared to die, so from the moment the turmoil began, he began to transfer his strength to his wife.
Finally, the demon was killed by the foreign god Huojin.
That was the first time Ebisu met Yato.
At that time, he was a little envious: although personal bravery could not fundamentally solve the problem of humans being invaded by demons, if he had such outstanding combat power, even if the research on puppetry could not make progress for a while, he could go out to slay demons and monsters in the intervals between his practice, just as a relaxing vacation, and still help humans.
Ebisu had wanted to say hello.
However, the Huojin God didn't know what he felt from him. Although it was the first time they met, the look in his eyes was frighteningly sharp. His light blue eyes seemed to be soaked in ice water. He left in a hurry without even saying hello.
Because he didn't die, his strength quickly returned.
As luck would have it, after several washes, his wife seemed to have finally undergone a qualitative change and condensed a divine nature.
She owned a city.
She also protected a city.
So the blessing that flowed back to Ebisu this time was a little more than he had imagined.
——Because of An Wu, the weak and dying Great Fortune God was able to recover and linger for three months.
=====
The news that the new land god would be included in the pantheon was brought by the Golden King, the incarnation of the state.
After hearing the news, Okuninushi's teeth ached, and he kept shouting, "You spent so much effort to finally raise your wife, and I've been terrified for you for the past ten years."
However, Ebisu could not appreciate the moving stories he imagined in his mind, and only said "Oh" in a dull voice.
Okuninushi then put his feet up on the table, picked up a bottle of wine, and asked, "The woman you've been thinking about for so many years is about to come. What are you going to do?"
"Shall we have a make-up wedding first?"
At that time, Ebisu had just changed the medicine, and the place under his ribs that was soaked by Anwu was still numb and painful. While picking up the teacup, he thought: Yes.
She is coming.
Because of this sentence, this marriage that has lasted for four generations of wealth gradually surfaced, and Ebisu finally felt a little real about what was going to happen to his wife.
