The Wanderer and the Priestess

Chapter 9

Izanagi's POV.

Paimon: And that's what happened.

Ayaka: I see.

After the outlanders tell their tales about the three people whom they helped and after the Traveler's change of stance in fighting the Vision Hunt Decree.........

Miss Kamisato smiled.

Ayaka: It's been a while since I last saw you, Sir Izanagi.

Izanagi: Well, thank you for inviting me here as well. But, seriously why though?

I asked the question as my little fox companion is sleeping peacefully in my arm.

Sakura: Zzzzzzzz............

Ayaka: Since you are an adventurer........

Izanagi: Well, not really an adventurer but yeah, I take commissions from the Adventurer's Guild from time to time.

Ayaka: I'd like you to give us some tips..........on how to break someone out from the prison.

Izanagi: A prison breakout, huh?

I scratched the back of my head with my free hand.

Then just as I was about to answer, Miss Kamisato decided to continue the conversation to the Komore Teahouse.

Then I answered Miss Kamisato's question about the prison breakout.

Izanagi: Hmmmmm, but before I answer your question, I presume the Traveler also has questions of their own.

Lumine: Yes, I do have some questions.

Ayaka: Go ahead.

Lumine: What kind of god is the Raiden Shogun?

Ayaka: The Almighty Shogun.......I've seen her on but a few formal occasions, most of them formal ceremonies........

Ayaka: She inspires awe, commands respect and exudes a sense of authority. But there is something that I found curious.

Ayaka: It was her complete lack of emotion. She appears to me to be less of a ruler and more of, uh, well, an executive officer.

Izanagi: I can only view her as a tyrant.

Ayaka: Izanagi!

Izanagi: What? Believe it or not, it's the truth.

Ayaka: But still........

Izanagi: You think that there is a significant reason why she is implementing eternity? Whatever that is........

Izanagi: She should've not dragged all of Inazuma into this kind of mess.

Ayaka went completely silent.....

Ayaka: I can't help but agree.......

Ayaka: You really do have a point.

Izanagi: Well, after all, gods should also be held responsible for their actions.
