Chapter 4 – The Descent of God’s Descendant

Cracks ran through the space of <Itsuki☆Channel>.

The light that was produced from those cracks repainted the space in a blink of eye.

When they noticed, Kazuki and Kazuha-senpai and Kamimura-san, the three of them had returned once again at Yomotsu Hirasaka.

“…It’s better if we hurry through the return path. Those guys will be coming when they sniff the scent of living person.”

Kamimura-san said that and began to run down the slope.

Feeling the unrest in those words, Kazuki and Kazuha-senpai too complied on her words.

Without even needing to ask, they soon became aware of the meaning of those words.

Kazuki and others felt an eerie presence from their back. When they looked back while running, a distortion appeared in the space far beyond their back, human shadows emerged out from there.

Old woman were born from the space at their behind. Not just one person. One after another countless old women were created. Those old women looked down the hill and sprinted with all their strength to this direction!

“…That’s Yomotsu Shikome. The old woman who lead the evil spirits that live in Yomotsu Hirasaka.”

Kamimura-san explained while desperately running without even looking back.

The space behind them was still distorting even further. What appeared from there was not only old woman, even more small living things that looked like demon were created in swarms.

“That’s Yomotsu Ikusa. Evil spirit that is the battle soldier of Yomotsu Hirasaka.”

Inside the darkness even more lights were arising in flickers *bachi bachi*, eight large globes of light scattering sparks burst out. These too were coming in pursuit of Kazuki and the others from behind by flying.

“That’s Yakusano Ikadzuchi. Yomotsu welcome the people that come to this world, however they didn’t allow people to leave. They are coming to chase you around and drag you back. If you are captured by those, you will get serious sickness like magic intoxication any you won’t be able to wake up anymore in the real world.”

Hearing those words Kazuki and Kazuha-senpai went ‘Hieee’ and panicked. Especially the old women that came running at them in full power was scary.

“Why are those kind of bunches here?”

“When they think that human of the present world is trying to go to a world of different dimension, a suitable compensation is needed. Although I’m really sorry that Yatagarasu didn’t explain about that at all and still invited you two here.”

Kazuki and others began to descend down Yomotsu Hirasaka with full speed.

…Nevertheless this was a mysterious sensation. It had been like this since they came to the Gate of the Celestial Rock Cave but their body senses felt awfully real, their consciousness felt far too clear compared to when they fell into magic intoxication and wandered around the Astrum. The sensation of running down Yomotsu Hirasaka felt as if their flesh body were really here.

Kazuki who was still in their clothes just like when they arrived here still had his katana attached on his hips. Looked like they could also turned back just like this and exchanged a battle with those bunches.

“…Now that you mentioned it, whatever happened to our flesh body right now? A fairly long time had passed, but isn’t it dangerous to leave our body lying around under the floor of the main temple?”

“…The state of you two right now is not as simple as a separation between the mind and body…huff huff.”

While running with her goth loli skirt trailing behind, Kamimura-san gave her response.

“Your state is completely different compared to when you fall into magic intoxication and your mind wandered inside Astrum. What is called Yomotsu Hirasaka is a tunnel that connected a world and a world, but it break down [existence that belong under reality] like you and convert you into [existence that belong under Astrum]. It’s something a little more complicated than just dragging your mind into Astrum …huff huff! There is no danger of yourself breaking up so it’s okay, you are the you that is properly living her right now. Un, understand?”

Even though Kazuki understood but it took a little time.

“So Yomotsu Hirasaka is an entrance where people can enter the mental world’s Astrum altogether with his flesh body.”

“That comprehension is correct. What is called Astrum is a world where maelstrom of colossal power that distorted reality whirled, it’s defined by the mind, then such entrance was created. And then the Diva of Japanese Mythology possessed the power to open and close this entrance…huff haa! Huff, when we are running desperately like this, don’t make me explain such complicated thing…. I’m not like you two that are the healthy faction after all…”

Kazuki and Kazuha-senpai’s breathing were not disordered for even a little bit, but Kamimura-san who just gave out a drawn-out explanation was breathing disorderly in pieces. Kazuki lifted her up from the side with ‘hyoi’ and carried her in a princess carry.

“Sorry, I didn’t notice.”

“Eh? Tha, thank you.” Kamimura-san’s eyes opened wide.

After that she panicked one beat late.

“I, I wasn’t appealing to you of my tiredness and pressing you or anything for this!”

“I’m not particularly thinking of anything like that you know?”

“Do, doing thing like this and being kind to me without any reason at all is just…. Uuu, I cannot calm down. Are, are you okay? You are not tired? I’m not heavy?”

Kamimura-san was bewildered with soppy expression.

“You are absurdly light that it make me worried when I’m carrying you like this, Kamimura-san.”

“Those guys chasing us from behind, are they strong if we fight them?”

Kazuha-senpai asked Kamimura-san from the side.

“Their level is just a little stronger than your average Demon Beast. What is troublesome is their unlimited numbers that keep gushing forth. But it’s okay. Because the speed of your running is above them. Like this they cannot overtake us. The distances between us and them is widening very fast.

“That’s the story if there is no one that will become a hindrance to us.”

Kazuki opened his mouth as if interrupting the wishful observation of Kamimura-san. …That was exactly just a wishful observation. Kazuki had already sensed the presence of someone ahead of them after they finished descending this hill.

“That is so isn’t it, if the situation had developed like this, it will be more unnatural instead if they doesn’t ambush us here.”

“Kazuki…this presence…”

Kazuha-senpai too noticed what was going on.

When they advanced through descending the hill―before long silhouettes of three people emerged out on their path.

“…I who am the King of Susanoo can sense it you know. It appears that you have inherited the authority of Amaterasu isn’t it, swordsman of Hayashizaki-style! With this the both of us has become destined existences even further! The two persons that are contesting the seat of the strongest swordsman, and then as the two persons concerning for the throne of the Japanese Mythology’s true King!”

Aisu Ikousai! And then the two waiting at her back, the God possessed Takasugi brothers!!

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The Takasugi brothers howled like a beast. While those howls were audible from below the slope it was like the damned inside hell―the brothers’ silhouettes distorted like jelly while yelling.

The silhouettes of the two lost the shape of human and they were crumbling down like mud.

What in the world? Sensing the unknown phenomenon from afar, Kazuki and Kazuha-senpai reflexively stopped in place. However the army of Yomotsu was approaching near from behind. This was exactly the situation of tiger in the front gate and wolf in the rear gate.

From Kazuki’s arms, Kamimura-san jumped down with a hop.

“…I’ll hold back those who come from behind. Ha, Hayashizaki, -san please take care of Susanoo.”

She appeared to be a little nervous when calling a person’s name.

“Will you be fine alone against that army?”

“I have anthropophobia, that’s why that kind of opponent is easier for me. Besides as far as it goes I too can use the power of Amaterasu…so I can fight a little.”

In front of the approaching near Yomotsu army, the girl performed Access.

“…O aurora of blessing ascending to the heaven! Thy name are <Amaterasu Oomikami>! O light of affection wishing not for conflict, just for now reside in my hand, become the bow and arrow of flash that pierce through everything!”

Kamimura-san’s got loli clothes were wrapped by light and broke down, transforming into Magic Dress.

That Magic Dress’ appearance was like the sublime ancient outfit of Amaterasu’s working mode, it was simplified just like that for the sake of ease in battle.

In what way the girl would fight―he was deeply interested but he had no composure left to ascertain that with his own eyes.

Kazuki faced the three person group standing on his way.

“GAAAAAAAAA…!” The Takasugi brothers were still screaming even now.

Losing their human shape, the two that had turned into a small mountain of muddy flesh began to swell bubblingly as if something was going to be born from their inside. The swelling silhouettes of those two overlapped with each other and were becoming one giant meatball.

That was…by no means a phenomenon that could be explained just by a mere word of God’s reliant. In Yatagarasu’s explanation, the human was not supposed to break down completely until that far.

Ikousai who stood in the side carelessly said.

“Looks like they wanted strength so much aren’t they? …Separate from Take Mikadzuchi and Take Minakata that turned them into God’s reliant, they still called for even further being from somewhere. That is something that gather the extreme terror of people in Japanese Mythology, the most ominous [Mythology’s undulation]…it’s fine to see, let’s make you all know too about its name! This is that…Yamato no Orochi!!”

“AAAAAAAAAA-!!!”

The gigantic pile of flesh that lost its face and also its mouth raised a noticeably louder scream even though it had no mouth.

From the gigantic lump of flesh, *ZUBOZUBOZUBO!* eight long necks and a tail extended out. The meatball was divided into eight and lengthened out twistingly. Its surface was changing into scales emitting black light―transforming into a giant snake with eight heads entangling with each other. It completely blocked the entire width of the hill road, a monster possessing the height like a building was towering there.

Yamata no Orochi―on the summit of the swaying eight necks, bright red eyes glinted bright and glared at them. Looked like there was not even a fragment of human personality left already inside. Takasugi brothers had become completely inexistent already.

“…Wasn’t Yamato no Orochi supposed to be exterminated by Susanoo? How can it become possible for it to join hand with Susanoo?”

The Shrine Maiden that had even more detailed knowledge of Japanese Mythology than Kazuki, Kazuha-senpai murmured.

The Celebration King that stood back to back with them, Kamimura-san answered that question.

“The Susanoo right now is not [the person that suppress the country] talked inside the Mythology but he become [the person that disturb the suppression]. Susanoo who originally possess the rough and wild element of <storm> has some aspects in common with Yamato no Orochi that is the huge personification of the nature’s flood.”

“…I see.” While nodding, Kazuha-senpai took a step forward.

“Kazuki, I’ll take on that guy. …I too want to become strong for a long time, I continue to think of wanting to become strong until now. However…surely not like that.”

Kazuha-senpai stood in front of the monster and leaked out a pained voice.

What was in front of her was an opponent that she could sympathize with, yet why they could completely mistaken their path in an unthinkable direction like this? The pain of that time that couldn’t be agreed with. Just like what Kazuki felt when he stood in front of Kaya….

“Ahaha! I don’t have any intention of sympathizing with these kinds of guys at all, but I too can sympathize! What is called strength is something to use for one’s own sake! It only have worth when used for the sake of persisting on one’s own self and aesthetic! But like this…ahhahaha! What a totally pathetic brothers!!”

Aisu Ikousai laughed loudly at her own former comrades that seek for strength and became a monster.

…She is wrong. What is called strength is not for one’s own sake, it was something for the sake of protecting one’s important person.

“Kazuha-senpai…please take care of that monster. I’ll…settle my debt with her!”

Kazuki glared at Ikousai. As if answering that, Ikousai was enveloped with the light of Access.

“I’m going full power right from the start here, this is not just some sport between swordsmen anymore. …O honored god of fury descending down from the sky, establish forth the development of unheard-of troubles right here! Thy honored name is <Susanoo O-Mikoto>! Reside in my body, rage following your violent emotion!!”

Aisu Ikousai seductive kimono broke down into Prima Materia, turning into a jet black hakama with tight sleeve―her appearance changed into Magic Dress based on the clothing of ancient Yamato. Her original atmosphere that was like a prostitute underwent a complete change.

Brave warrior that was the personification of storm―Susanoo. And the one that was contracted to him, a magic swordsman.

“Come, the first act where we fussed over only sword is over! Let’s open the curtain of the second act here while letting our Stigmata shine!!”

Aisu Ikousai smoothly drew out her katana and directed its tips at Kazuki.
