Takamagahara

Amaterasu

Slam!

"Amaterasu-sama. The shrine dedicated to you in the human world was recently targeted by Khaos Brigade. However, it was defended by the Middleman's subordinates, and an Irish Goddess."

I was having tea with Raijin and Fūjin and chatting about pleasant topics when the door to the room slammed open. Sara, a tengu came in looking a little flustered as it looked like she was running.

"...Why would they... Hmm? Is that what it meant?"

I took out my smartphone and took a look at the message I received a few hours ago. It was from Jin.

|Shrine. Attack. Defend. Not to worry.|

Although the message puzzled me, I didn't worry too much since Jin told me it was being defended... I glanced back at Sara and nodded.

"Yes, I am aware, Sara. Jin told me not too long ago. But, thank you for informing me."

"O-Oh, is that so...? Then excuse me..."

Sara bowed before leaving the room. I put my ph—

"Ah... Raijin? Please give me back my phone..."

Raijin took my phone and started to look through it. I believe she's looking at the texts between Jin and I. As far as our texts are concerned, we are setting up a meeting time and place when I go to Japan.

I don't think it's too controversial... Raijin squints her eyes while looking through it.

"Ama... Why are you asking him what to wear? You are a Goddess! The Leader of our pantheon! Wear whatever you want, and something that shows your dignity and magnificence!"

"...T-That would be a bit too much for modern day Japan. Perhaps in the past, but now..."

She huffed, but gave my phone back. She didn't try to refute my answer. I finally put—

"...Please give it back..."

Fūjin takes it this time and she scrolls through my messages. However, unlike Raijin she has been more supportive of Jin as of late. I wonder what happened when they saw each other during that small meeting...?

"Hmm. Wear what you want, Ama. Perhaps something that showed your thighs; even though it was subtle, I saw him looking at mine when it was on display. He definitely lives up to his moniker of 'Thigh Dragon'."

Fūjin musses before giving me back my phone.... Also, thighs....? I look at mine and squeeze them.

"What are you talking about, Fūjin? Are you saying he's worthy of our sister?"

Raijin glares at Fūjin and she laughs.

"Huhu, who knows? I do hope he comes back here; I wish to speak with him more. Yasaka, the West Youkai faction leader is quite smitten with him after all. It makes you wonder why, don't you think? I wish to know that, so I want to speak with him more."

Raijin rolls her eyes at Fūjin, and in turn she just laughed again. However, I do agree with Fūjin. We know little about him, even though the reason for him being the 'Middleman' is widely known already.

"I do have a reason as to why I'm heading there, you two..."

""We know.""

I tell them, but they also answer me at the same time. Haaa... These two...
