Chapter 1609 – [Echo]

Before starting the schedule in earnest, Eden went out and started signing autographs while facing the people gathered in front of the hotel. There were a lot of people, but Eden signed autographs for them with a bright face, probably because they had been waiting all night.

Of course, I can’t do everything… But it is meaningful to do it.

“Thank you, thank you so much, miko…”

“Thanks to the rain that the shaman sprinkled during the previous extremist terrorist incident, my asthma got better. Thank you so much!!!!”

“Well, of course it was something I had to do.”

After the terrorist attack by an extreme right-winger possessed by an evil spirit, Japan worked hard to drive out the extreme right wing. I don’t know if that’s possible, but even if they were possessed by an evil spirit, if those extreme rightists had tried to commit terrorism to the extent of ruining Japan, even people who don’t think much of it would have hated the extreme right.

If the variant Changzhou virus, which was intended to be used for terrorism, had spread there, it would not have simply resulted in the collapse of Japan. It was fortunate that it was suppressed early on thanks to Eden.

In any case, this incident led Japan to punish extreme right-wingers and extreme right-wingers. They were ostracized due to Japan’s unique Ijime atmosphere and viewed as potential terrorists, so they had no place to live.

Of course, it hasn’t completely disappeared, but at least it’s gotten to the point where I can’t be active. The Yasukuni Shrine, which was synonymous with the extreme right, was also destroyed and closed.

“Maybe that’s why, when the prime minister changes, he goes to Yasaka Shrine to pay his respects instead of Yasukuni.”

“A lot has changed in Japan too.”

I have been to Yasaka Shrine before and did various things, but it is a shrine that worships Susanoo. So Mr. Susanoo also descends in that body.

As the existence of gods became known, Yasaka Shrine, which was one of many shrines, became the most recognizable shrine. It is normally used as a tourist attraction, but unlike before, the places you can see are limited and management is stricter.

Anyway, I’ll be going there in the afternoon, so I’ll have to work on various things. Actually, it’s just for show, but whatever.

First, I head there in the morning to meet with the Prime Minister. In fact, we have to meet not only the Prime Minister but also many other Japanese politicians, but that aside.

“Ah!!!! Are you here!!!!”

Soon after we arrived, the Japanese Prime Minister got up from his seat and ran towards us, expressing his happiness. Even if it’s just an act of pleasure, seeing the camera rolling makes me wonder if it’s going to be broadcast as is.

Anyway, Eden and I soon shook hands with the Prime Minister and said hello. It was his first time visiting since the prime minister had changed, and moreover, it was his first visit since Eden came out, so it was their first meeting in real life.

“We would like to thank you two for visiting Japan. Thanks to this, no one will be harmed by typhoons this year.”

“The typhoon itself is not bad, but it should cause as little loss of life or property as possible. That’s why I visit Japan every year.”

“Yes, that’s why I always express my gratitude to the shaman.”

In fact, this meeting was just for show. The purpose was to console public opinion by talking about politics or similar things… So it was also a very boring event.

We spend about a few hours filming, and the filming ends soon. Of course, there was a chance to meet other Japanese politicians afterward, shake hands and take pictures, but it only took a few minutes for each person, so it was relatively okay.

The filming could only be completed around lunchtime. Fortunately, Eden somehow managed to stop me from asking to have lunch with him by refusing.

“It’s a bit weird to talk about politics in front of the camera until you eat.”

“Dad agrees too.”

It’s good to be comfortable when eating. No matter how busy you were with events all day, you needed to take a break and catch your breath.

Moreover, for us cooks, eating time is a time to catch our breath. Even if you don’t cook your own food due to time constraints, shouldn’t you eat leisurely?

To be honest, I don’t like having food go up my nose while talking about politics. If you stick too closely, you’ll get so angry that you’ll go on a rampage.

Anyway, the lunch itself was quite delicious. I was wondering what it would be like, but for lunch, it was sukiyaki made with the highest quality Wagyu beef. Meat was meat, but the udon and oatmeal eaten later were truly delicacies.

In fact, usually we would finish by eating only one of the two… But since Eden was the one eating the meat and vegetables, we boiled udon noodles and ate them, and then made oatmeal with the remaining broth. Thanks to that, it’s full of carbohydrates.

“Originally, I was supposed to eat something like black, round slime to finish.”

“It’s not ideal sukiyaki, that’s what it is.”

“But what does Dad think of that?”

“Isn’t it the black Mizu Shingen Mochi?”

“There’s even a Korean word called water drop rice cake!!!!”

“It’s safe because my dad was reincarnated as a Japanese person.”

“Ah, that’s Kingjeong.”

Anyway, after lunch, we went to the hospital in the afternoon.

This was close to the activities of the water purification foundation run by Eden, which involved going around hospitals treating people with incurable diseases with water purification.

Of course, it does not end there. We plan to store purified water separately to treat patients. In reality, treating the treatment right in front of your eyes is simply performance and image management, but those who see the benefits directly can’t help but be thrilled.

“Everything, the legs… The legs!!!!!”

“Can you feel it?”

“Yes, yes… Thank you. Thank you so much, shaman!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!”

“Next time I see you, I hope you can walk properly. Do your best in rehabilitation training.”

“Yes!!! Of course!!!!!”

At least in modern society, most diseases that are considered incurable can be cured when Eden stands in front of them.

Eden herself has reached the level of a transcendental person due to the healing effect of the water essence, so the effect is beyond imagination. Maybe when Eden becomes Lord… No, this is a story from a distant country.

It’s a story I’ll talk about at that time, but if it’s the water essence created after Eden is loaded, it can be seen as a treatment with healing abilities next to the elixir made from the blood of the absolute. I think it will probably be imported and used periodically in dimensional civilizations.

Anyway, that’s how I go around hospitals, treating people. Of course, we didn’t visit hospitals all over Tokyo, but at least we treated urgent patients and later purified the water to the level of the building’s water tank, so we don’t have to worry about treating other patients or future emergency patients.

And that adds to Eden’s reputation. It’s hard for me to be sincere when I think of those things, but Eden came here thinking about helping people even though it was difficult, so she’s a hundred times better than me.

“Hmm!!!! Even though it was difficult, it was still worth it!!!!!”

“Next is the shaman’s matter. Let’s go and deal with it quickly.”

“I heard they’re coming from the broadcasting station this time?”

“They came and filmed something to see?”

“I’m going to Kagura. Isn’t that what you want to see?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Eden goes to Yasaka Shrine where Susanoo is worshiped and performs Kagura. So, she performs Kazehori Kagura, which she learned there. By offering it to God, we will defeat the typhoon currently heading towards Japan.

Of course, that’s just for show. When Eden defeats the typhoon, there is no need to use Kagura, just ask Susanoo-san and it will be over. Susanoo would probably handle the typhoon at the same level as giving her nephew or granddaughter an allowance.

Nevertheless, doing it is nothing more than a performance. We know it, but other people don’t, so it’s better to show something that stands out as much as possible.

Humans are cunning and make quite a distinction between what is visible and what is not. Probably, if Eden doesn’t perform Kagura and Susanoo doesn’t show up, why do we need a shrine maiden? And a lot of ungrateful bastards will come out.

Afterward, we moved to Yasaka Shrine. They may have already heard the news, but the area around the shrine was crowded with people, including many people from the government and broadcasting industries as well as the public.

“It’s a shaman!!!!”

“Wakamo miko!!!!!”

“The shaman has arrived!!! Waaaaa!!!!!”

The public’s reaction is no joke.

First, Eden welcomed everyone who came by waving her hand, even if she didn’t sign an autograph. And when she goes up to Yasaka Shrine, she sees this shrine maiden for the first time in a while… No, is she now a priest?

We were greeted by Mayumi Yasaka, who inherited her position as a shaman after her father, who was one of the instigators of previous extremist terrorist attacks, was possessed by an evil spirit and became a shaman unintentionally.  It is easy to remember that she was the person who introduced Kazehori Kagura to Eden in the past.

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Hello sister!!!!!”

“A lot has happened in the meantime, so it was quite noisy on our part. But it wasn’t a bad thing, and it actually helped us a lot in making Susanoo’s name known.”

“I’m sorry you must have had a hard time. I should have told you in advance.”

“No. In fact, it must have been more difficult for the shaman than for us.”

Yasaka shaman, or rather Shinju, nodded her head as if she knew something about what Eden had been through. Well, just thinking about what I did before the weekend will give you a general idea of ​​what happened to Eden.

It’s nice to have a quick-witted person. Even if it sometimes causes problems, it is good to at least be quick to judge the situation.

“I’ve made preparations for your return. Please come this way.”

“Yes~”

Eden soon went to a separate room and changed her clothes. It wasn’t just any other clothes, it was a shrine maid’s outfit that fit Eden’s nickname, Wakamo shaman.

However, it has a more modern feel… In keeping with her name, Wakamo, the fox mask also hangs at an angle on one side of her head.

“If you think about tradition, that wouldn’t be true, right?”

“If you only pursue tradition, you might get caught up in the past. And I think Susanoo values ​​the heart and sincerity contained in it more than tradition.”

“That is correct.”

After changing into her paternal attire, Eden was fully armed, even holding the horns of Kether in her hands. At least Eden, who dressed up neatly and didn’t say anything, seemed like a great beauty with a cool vibe.

“If she keeps her mouth shut, she’s a beauty? Then she’s a super beauty with an open mouth!!!!!”

“Yes, be a gorgeous girl.”

And then it’s time. People from Japanese broadcasting stations as well as other overseas broadcasting stations were preparing to film.

As if to show courtesy, shrine officials stand stationed in all directions. Among them, Eden slowly appears and begins her formal ceremony.

Eden, with her mask but not covering her face, begins to dance the Kaze Hori Kagura while holding the Horn of Keter in both hands. Slowly, then gradually faster. At the same time, the wind begins to rush in response to her movements.

Whoa!!!

“Wow, the wind…”

“As expected, she is the shaman of the storm god!!!!”

Actually, it’s not because she’s Susanoo’s shrine maiden, it’s just the effect of Kazehori Kagura, but whatever.

Modern shaman clothes were not overtly sexy or revealing. The sleeves were long, so it wasn’t all that comfortable to move around without anything intrusive, but the sight of Eden showing off while dancing Kagura was like a work of art.

Knowing that, even the people filming watch her with bated breath. Their hearts were like a desire to quietly look at and appreciate a great work of art.

Not a very long time. At most, 10 minutes, maybe 15 minutes. Eden didn’t even break a sweat, but her breathing was slightly out of focus as she was concentrating a little. Soon, Eden finished her kagura and bowed to her main shrine to show her respect.

“I offer this kagura to Takehayasusanoonomikoto, and I hope you will accept it.”

“Are you coming?”

Drurrrr!!!

Soon, Mr. Susanoo opened the door in the shrine’s main shrine and appeared with such a lack of dignity that it made me wonder. It was a situation that felt like déjà vu, but while others were surprised and horrified, I could only laugh out loud.

“It’s Susanoo!!!!!”

“Susanoo has arrived!!!!!”

“God, please…”

“Please defeat the typhoon!!!! If this typhoon comes, there will be a lot of damage!!!!”

Is it because of human weakness that we want to rely on gods, whether ancient or modern, or is it just nature?

Anyway, unlike his first appearance his his his, Mr. Susanoo received Eden’s Kagura while showing a certain solemnity. And in return, he passed on the typhoon that is currently approaching Japan.

“Kagura was well received. Don’t worry, we will prevent damage from typhoons and tsunamis from typhoons at least within this year.”

“Thank you!!!!”

“Okay. Oh, and eat a decent meal.”

“Yes, please wait a moment.”

In fact, as he is a rare god who doesn’t like alcohol, Mr. Susanoo may also want to drink, but he never asked his granddaughter or nephew to pour him a drink, at least not on official occasions. I don’t know if it was a private situation, but if it was an official situation, I would have slapped Mr. Susanoo.

Anyway, a simple table and jeju (祭酒) prepared separately at Yasaka Shrine are served. Mr. Susanoo ate a small portion of each side dish and dish and drank a glass of alcohol before retiring.

I wonder if the preparations are insufficient, but it’s just a formality. When I look at that, I get the sense that Mr. Susanoo is also quite an old god.

And the ceremony ended like that, and since the sun was setting after the event, people started to leave. Of course, most of them are ordinary people, and there are still people from the broadcasting industry, but it’s really hard to see them doing that even though there’s really nothing to film.

After the event was over, I met Susanoo-san face to face. I’ve met you before, but it feels like it’s been quite a while since I’ve met you, so I’m glad to see you.

“Hey, how are you?”

“Well, I’m the same as usual. But I heard you were indebted to Eden before? Thank you for that.”

“If you’re thankful, you plan to kill.”

“Hey, right now Eden is cursing and killing kids who haven’t even apologized, so what happens to me if I say something like that?”

“Has something like that happened? Write, I’ll look into it, so you can take care of it.”

“I like that you are flexible.”

Unlike Gilhyeon, Susanoo is quite conversant. What should I say… I’m not saying that just because I’m a god, I’ll come and go, but I feel like I’m going to kill whoever I want to kill. Of course, he’s the type of person who will stop something he doesn’t think is right, but he’ll kill the stupid guy.

I would stop people from killing people for personal reasons, and in most cases, I would not directly stop them, but why kill those who were cursed at Eden and those who did not reflect on themselves when given a chance to do so? I think it’s just self-employment and I don’t even think about stopping it.

Gilhyun, that bastard may be a little different, but anyway.

“It’s okay!!!!!”

“Eden, why are you greeting me like God-ruri-ruri… Well, that’s okay. Anyway, how have you been? It looks like you’ve grown a lot because you’ve been doing well.”

“I gained the ability to manipulate time by playing the devil lord!!!!!”

“It’s no joke. It’s a useful ability, so hone it well, okay?”

“Yes!!!!!”

Anyway, today’s schedule is roughly finished, and the Japanese government will refuse to meet Mr. Susanoo for a while, so what’s left is what I had planned before.

Eden brought a cam and a computer. From now on, I plan to work as a streamer Eden, not as a Wakamo shrine maiden.

However, Mr. Susanoo, who was hearing this story for the first time, expressed doubts.

“What are you going to do?”

“Linban!!!!! Uncle Susanoo, tell me a story when you’re harassing Orochi.”

“Ah!!!!!! You can’t do that without alcohol!!!!! Bring alcohol!!!!!!”

Maybe it’s because I mentioned it separately, but there was plenty of alcohol at Yasaka Shrine, even though I didn’t know about cooking. And those are pretty good quality drinks.

I guess I’ll drink it strong today and peel it all night long.

It looks like so much fun!!!!
