The Wanderer and the Priestess

Chapter 8

Izanagi's POV. Grand Narukami Shrine.

Izanagi: So, about the exorcism that you took upon yourself.......

Izanagi: I wanted to ask.......

Miko: Hm? What is it?

Izanagi: Was it really a possession?

Miko: According to the shrine maiden that investigated and performed the exorcism upon the said victim.........

Miko: The person was said to be speaking of the names of the people he defeated in the art of the sword.

Izanagi: Huh? But why would he do that?

Miko: Not to mention, the person itself became......

Miko: Aggressive........

Izanagi: Hmmmmmmm..........

Izanagi: Since I have no experience in spirits and I have limited knowledge about them.........

Izanagi: Spirits are able to take many forms, right?

Miko: You're correct. In the ancient times, spirits are abundant in Narukami Island.

Miko: But since the Cataclysm that happened 500 years ago......

Miko: The Raiden Shogun drove the spirits away.

Izanagi: I see. No wonder why.

Izanagi: But still.......it could be a mental ailment, right?

Izanagi: I mean, I encountered people who really has screw loose during my travels.

Miko: Really?

Izanagi: Yes and trust me, when you deal with them, as if you're dealing with drunkards.

Izanagi: But dealing with drunkards are even worse.

Miko: Well, would you rather deal with me when I'm drunk?

Izanagi: Ah, here we go.

I lightly smacked her head as she holds it in pain.

Miko: Ow!

Miko: What was that for!?

Izanagi: Miko, you know where are we?

Miko: Eh~ So you prefer that we only do it in our house?

Izanagi: Please stop, Miko. You know people are watching!

Miko: What? Am I not allowed to show off my husband to everyone?

Izanagi: Miko, first of all, we're not even lovers yet. Let alone husband and wife.

Miko: Oh, so you are planning on marrying me in the future?

Izanagi: *sigh*

Izanagi: Miko.........

Miko: What?

She leans closer to my face to the point our faces are almost inches apart. Though, I'm still taller than Miko.
