It's just that all the savings are in the hands of the tall Zonggu. He can neither reach nor defeat him, so he can only worry.
"Are you going to pay me back the money only after I find the remaining seven guys?"
Zong Gu shook his head slightly, "I haven't gone that far."
"You have already done something very excessive..."
"If Tsukuyomi-sama says so, I can tell you all the things you have done and see who is more outrageous... Stop talking so much."
"Then what do you have to do to return the money to me?"
Zong Gu looked at him and sighed: "I bet you didn't listen to what I just said... Set aside an hour every day to sense the traces of the Eight Thunder Gods. If you can persist for three days, I will return the money to you."
"Three days..."
Tsukuyomi thought about it and found that it was not unacceptable.
Moreover, Zonggu talked bitterly for a long time, and he was indeed a little ashamed.
"Just one hour every day."
"But keep at it."
"Isn't it three days?"
Zong Gu looked at him without saying anything.
Tsukuyomi avoided his gaze, "I understand..."
In front of him, Zonggu put the money into his pocket.
"Find them as soon as possible, and Tsukuyomi-sama can be liberated as soon as possible. Let's encourage each other."
Tsukuyomi rolled his eyes and said, "It's so simple."
Soya looked at him, not dissatisfied, "Tsukuyomi-sama just said that his divine power is low, which limits the efficiency of sensing the traces of the Eight Thunder Gods. In other words, if Tsukuyomi-sama's divine power can be restored, the efficiency of sensing will also increase.
.”
"Yes." Tsukuyomi sat down, "But divine power can only be restored by absorbing the power of faith. Where can you get so much power of faith?"
"Has the power of faith condensed in the Tsukuyomi statue at Fuun Shrine not been restored yet?" Soya asked.
"It's not that easy. You underestimate divine power." Tsukuyomi immediately said, "After so many years of accumulation, the power of faith condensed on that statue is only enough for me to re-condensate a body. What can truly be transformed into divine power?
There are actually very few parts.”
"I've never been a god."
"..."
Tsukuyomi was speechless, and after a while he said: "In short, I no longer expect my divine power to be restored."
Zong Gu suddenly smiled.
"Tsukuyomi-sama underestimates himself too much."
"ah?"
"Although Tsukuyomi-sama has no sense of existence in the myth, his appearances are not even as many as some monsters, and his actual encounters are even more miserable..." Seeing Tsukuyomi's face becoming unsightly, Soya also stopped talking in this regard.
By extension, "After all, he is still the noble son of the moon."
"And the Fuun Shrine of the Sugawara family is not the only place in the world where Takako Tsuki is enshrined."
Tsukuyomi was startled and quickly reacted.
"Why didn't I expect...you want me to absorb the power of faith from other Tsukuyomi statues to replenish my divine power?"
Soya looked at him calmly: "Don't you think Tsukuyomi-sama himself?"
"..."
Of course Tsukuyomi thinks so, but there are still some problems.
"After the divine body was destroyed in Huangquan, and the power of faith on the statue of Fuyun Shrine was used to reshape the body, I will no longer be able to feel the power of faith from other sources... You take me to find it."
Zonggu nodded, "That's not a problem."
"The most indispensable thing in Japan is shrines. There are so many shrines. Among them, there should be many places dedicated to Tsukuyomi-sama."
Tsukuyomi also smiled, "Really..."
"Well, you'll find out if you look for it."
Soya took out his mobile phone and searched on the Internet using "Tsukuyomi" and "Shrine" as keywords.
Tsukuyomi was waiting for the results, but saw his finger stop scratching on the screen a few times. After a long silence, he took a deep breath.
"Sure enough, there are still a few."
"..."
Apparently it was still "everywhere" just now.
"Tsukuyomi-sama is really unpopular."
"...Stop talking."
Zonggu's eyes widened. He did not expect that Tsukuyomi's incense in the human world would be so deserted.
It seems that the influence of mythology is indeed far-reaching.
"Currently, the Tsukuyomi shrines or shrines that can be found on the Internet are only distributed in Nagasaki and Kagoshima in Kyushu, Kanagawa and Ibaraki in Kanto, and Kyoto and Ise Jingu in Kinki..."
Tsukuyomi's heart went cold when he heard it.
"However, Fuyun Shrine also enshrines Takako Tsukiyomi, but it does not appear in the search results... This means that there may be many shrines that enshrine Tsukuyomi-sama, but they are obscured because they are not well-known."
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
"Of course, after all, enthusiasm will also affect work efficiency."
"..."
Unable to bear his plaintive gaze, Zonggu lowered his head and flipped through his phone again, directly moving the topic to the next step.
"Kyushu and Kanto are both too far away. Although I definitely have to go there for the power of faith, it's not now."
As he said that, he stood up and said, "Get ready. Let's go to Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto today. If we have time, we will go to Ise Shrine in Mie in the afternoon."
"Matsuo Taisha Shrine?"
Tsukuyomi was stunned, "Aren't you going to my shrine?"
Zonggu pursed his lips and turned his face away.
"Because the Tsukuyomi Shrine is too small, it is actually the photography shrine of Matsuo Taisha Shrine..."
"..."
The so-called shrine refers to a small shrine that is outside the main shrine and is managed by the shrine.
"Go."
"……go."
When she came downstairs, Akane Kirino saw the two of them and asked them what they were doing just now, causing the floor to rattle.
Tsukuyomi said expressionlessly, "He stole my money."
Zonggu didn't deny it, "Just keep it with me for a few days."
Kirino Akane was full of interest, "Why?"
"To prevent him from being deceived."
"I see."
She accepted his statement without any doubt and asked no more questions.
Zong Gu added: "Yuezi and I have to go out for something, and we may not be able to come back until the evening."
"Hey...where to go?"
"Kyoto."
"What to do?"
He looked at Tsukiyomi and said, "Tsukiyomi wants to visit Matsuo Taisha Shrine."
"Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Saikyo..."
Kirino Akane has been there several times, but is not very interested and hesitates whether to go with us.
"I'm going to Ise Jingu in the afternoon." Tsukuyomi suddenly said.
"Eh? I want to go too!"
"……OK."
Sogu paused, nodded quickly in agreement, and stared at Tsukuyomi again.
It was probably because she saw that he didn't want to take Akane Kirino with him - because some things were inconvenient for her to see - that Tsukuyomi deliberately played the opposite tune in order to avenge him for "stealing money".
"Get ready, we'll leave in twenty minutes."
"Uh-huh."
Kirino Akane immediately went back to her room and changed into the clothes she was going to wear when going out, while Soya went to wash her hair and clean the remaining bits of hair after the haircut.
More than half an hour later, the three of them got on the train bound for Kyoto.
Kirino Akane and Soya sat together and turned to look out the car window, "If it rains, there shouldn't be anyone there."
"This is best."
"Eh..."
"I mean, it won't be crowded."
"It's not the cherry blossom viewing season now, so there won't be too many people. And there are very few tourists going there..."
After Kirino Akane's introduction, the train continued westbound.
After arriving in Kyoto, the three of them transferred several times and finally got off at Hankyu Matsuo Station.
When you walk out of the ticket gate, you will see the Torii Gate of Matsuo Taisha Shrine across the road, with the fresh and beautiful Arashiyama Mountains in the light rain as your backdrop.
"The location of Tsukuyomi Shrine seems to be over the parking lot..."
Soya just lowered his head and looked at his phone. Tsukuyomi next to him ran out without any warning and ran into the torii gate across the road without looking back.
"..."
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and called Akane Kirino who was also stunned.
