"...I know her."
Under Fu Hua's calm gaze, Inaba Ten'i did not dare say anything more. She felt the greatsword beside her draw even closer.
Of course she knew Ōkuninushi!
Ōkuninushi was her benefactor, and she had even helped bring about his marriage.
Back then, Ōkuninushi and his divine brothers had traveled to the land of Inaba to marry Yakami-hime. Along the way, they encountered Inaba Ten'i, who had gotten herself injured through her own recklessness.
Yet not only did Ōkuninushi's brothers refuse to save her, they even kicked her while she was down, like rubbing salt into her wounds.
Only Ōnamuchi, who would later become Ōkuninushi, stepped in and healed the injured Inaba Ten'i. Then Inaba Ten'i, who possessed the power to grant others good fortune, directly foretold that only Ōnamuchi could successfully marry Yakami-hime—and that was indeed what happened.
When Ōnamuchi and his divine brothers arrived and proposed to Yakami-hime, she only wished to become Ōnamuchi's wife. Although Ōnamuchi succeeded in marrying Yakami-hime, he also enraged his brothers. They killed him twice, but his mother saved him and brought him back to life both times.
"You wouldn't happen to be the White Rabbit who brought Ōkuninushi and Yakami-hime together, would you?"
Fu Hua suddenly thought of it and asked again.
"Of course not... Fine! It was me."
Inaba Ten'i had just been about to deny it when she felt a chill at her neck. She hurriedly shrank back and admitted it.
"And you said you were just a rabbit yokai who had only recently taken human form? You little... no, old liar!"
This was a rabbit that had lived from the Age of Gods until now. Who knew how many years she had lived, yet she still pretended to be young.
