"Divine Lord, is the shrine reopening?"
Asou Yuna took a sip of cola, feeling that life like this was actually pretty nice. When her father had been around, he would never have allowed her to drink this stuff.
"Mm. Although I'm not short on money, it wouldn't be appropriate to only spend without bringing anything in. Besides... how can a shrine have no worshippers?"
Seele nodded. Most importantly... Seele still needed to understand faith.
"Then our shrine... um, Divine Lord, what kind of divine power do you have? Exorcism?"
Asou Yuna looked at Seele curiously. Thinking of the two Higanbana flowers in the shrine's main hall, could the Divine Lord's true form be a Higanbana?
The gods of the Far Eastern Land came in all kinds. There were even gods who specifically accepted their worshippers' commissions to assassinate targets, so no kind of deity would be surprising.
"Exorcism... is part of it, I suppose! Suppressing evil, calming the mind, longing, communicating with the dead, foreseeing death, traveling between the worlds of the living and the dead... and also... prayers for blessings, guiding souls onward... those are the things you'll need to handle!"
Seele took a sip of her happy water and stared calmly at Asou Yuna as she spoke.
"Huh? Me?"
Asou Yuna froze at once, staring blankly at Seele. Although she was a Miko, as a Miko... she was probably only a little stronger than an ordinary person and could see ghosts and monsters.
But prayers for blessings and guiding souls onward...
She could put on an act. Yuna had learned those things while following her father around, but it had all just been for fooling people...
"As a qualified Miko, aren't those the most basic skills?"
Seele thought of Kikyo. Whenever Miko came up... Seele liked comparing herself
