Sorry for taking so long to write a new chapter. I just ran a deadline. Well, it took longer than I expected but I'm a bit more comfortable now. While not writing stories I discovered some interesting stories and a little sad some but it's okay I got used to it. From this chapter I will change some of the backgrounds of some characters. The first is Sanae. You might as well help me. I'm willing to listen to your opinions

Even though I'm a bit bad at writing and I was told and used vulgar language by someone in a private message, but I've gotten used to it. I won't give names or give any information because I don't want an argument because I'm love peace.

Have fun with the story *happy*

Note: I do not own Kanmachi's Toaru and Zun's Touhou Works

"We're back."

Touma and Sanae have returned from a day of shopping and playing in Akihabara. Everything was fine until the appearance of the four girls who insulted Sanae, Touma heard it all and couldn't stand it and used his fists to warn them. Even though it's wrong in some ways, I don't hesitate to protect someone

Seeing that both of them had returned, the three gods who were talking about something. Suwako came out to welcome them back, Othinus noticed Touma's right arm was bleeding her right away

"What happened to your arm Human? Don't lie to me"

"Something happened and the incident that Suwako told is completely true Othinus"

Othinus understood what Touma was talking about. Suwako and Kanako also understood what Touma was talking about, Sanae quickly put away her things to get the medicine box in the temple and then bandaged Touma's wound. She started disinfecting after everyone was seated at the table

"So how are things?"

Kanako was the first to ask the question right after Touma was bandaged by Sanae. Touma answered honestly

"On the way back we met 4 girls and only 3 girls insulted and one seemed a little more polite"

"Isn't there a girl in the group of girls named Rei?"

Suwako quickly realized who Touma was talking about, Touma nodded and then Suwako explained

"That girl is kind and gentle, and her family is also quite wealthy. And was also Sanae's best friend."

"What happened? What happened?"

Touma is wondering about this, if she is so close to Sanae, why is she in the group that bullies Sanae? It was a problem he recognized immediately though he was pretty sure anyone would notice

"How can I say that? I don't know why that girl joined the group that bullied Sanae but if it's hypothesized, I think she doesn't want to be bullied like Sanae or she herself separated herself out of Sanae for some reason"

"What's the matter Sanae? You must know something, right?"

Touma glanced over at Sanae who was sitting next to him and was trying to recall what he knew about this friend

"She suddenly changed so I don't know why"

Everyone was silent and thinking except for Othinus because she was almost unconcerned and moved on to another matter.

"Then why are you injured in Human's hand?"

"yeah I punched a wall"

"hah you think I'll believe that's all?"

Sanae was a bit blushing as she explained

"The bully girl insulted me and my mother so she got punched in the face by Touma, even though I don't think it's okay to use violence Touma"

Sanae recounted and reminded Touma about using violence is not appropriate and he just laughed haha to let it go but Sanae still tried to remind him. Suwako and Kanako were quite happy after hearing that because they made the right decision. But maybe punching a girl in the face is a bit too much?

"Hah Truly a leader in gender equality"

Othinus ate the cake quite spontaneously and leisurely. From the way they spoke and the tone of their voice, the three of them were speculating that Touma had punched many girls? Is that his personality as well?

"Skip that and anyone want dinner? I bought some ingredients to cook"

"Oh, do you know how to cook Touma?"

Sanae's eyes were shining even for the two gods. They rarely saw boys cooking so they were also quite excited to try Touma's cooking.

"Watch out for his food addiction"

"Don't you say so much, Othinus? It's not so delicious that it's addictive."

"Go and say that to the people who are addicted to your food human"

After listening to the three, they were really curious about his dish, Touma also gave up and went to the kitchen to cook. Everything went quite smoothly because the supplies were enough for him. All four girls can smell the delicious food

"It's delicious, isn't it, Suwako?"

"Let's see how it tastes, Kanako. The smell is not necessarily good"

"It's delicious, I have to help too."

Sanae quickly went to the kitchen to help Touma. Touma also happily accepted and asked her to help him get cups, spoons, chopsticks and a few other things. More than an hour later, everything was ready, it was fried noodles and a few other dishes. Touma bought a few other items for Othinus to make her eating more comfortable.

"So tempting, let's eat it everyone"

"Thanks for meal "

"Thank you for cooking for us Touma"

"Don't worry, just eat to your heart's content"

The three girls of Moriya Shrine tried the first bite and as a result they were all shocked, the first was Sanae, who was shaking and grabbing both of Touma's hands making him extremely confused.

"T...Tou...Touma"

"What's wrong Sanae? Is it that bad?"

"No, it's not"

She was trying to suppress something inside her, a strange feeling of pleasure after eating Touma's food. Her whole body was radiating with ecstasy and she was trying to catch her breath to tell Touma

"It's delicious and...I just want one thing Touma"

"Very pleased with the compliment and what do you want?"

"Please"

"?"

"Please be my wife"

"?????"

Touma was confused by Sanae's sudden marriage proposal. This isn't the first time she's seen someone happy or addicted to Touma's food, but this is the first time she's seen this case, Othinus. More specifically, why does Touma have to be his wife???

"Hey wait, I don't know why but it's just a dish and it's not so good that you have to hand over your youth to me. Not to mention why I have to be a wife!!! !!"

sniffled*

Touma heard the crying and looked over at the two shrine gods. He was seeing them crying, what the hell was that he was thinking. And why did he have the feeling that he would see this scene again in the future? Kanako hugged her face while clutching her chopsticks

"Damn it's so delicious, you should be Sanae's wife"

"Yes, I think you should go transgender and be Sanae's wife or we can."

"Again why should I be a wife??? This Kamijou Touma wants to be a husband more than a wife and I don't want to destroy someone's youth just because of this!!!!"

"You're coming, Human"

Othinus ate while enjoying it because she had been eating often so she was better at suppressing it than the others. Only the fact that Touma was his wife made her shiver a little, imagining him in a wedding dress and that made her shiver more than ever. After settling things down, he had a question to ask the three girls of the temple

"How long are we going to be here?"

"At least 1 week, at most 2 weeks to prevent unexpected events. By the way, I'll also talk about Sanae's family"

"I get it, then just say it"

Touma ate his food and he actually found it very ordinary. He just wondered why so many people overreacted but he put that aside to hear the story of the Sanae family.

"Ehem, first the side of Sanae's mother's family is linked with divine power and they can also become a god. But over time it fades away, it can be said that Sanae is the last. even though Sanae herself has become a god"

"Not quite understand"

"Sanae's mother's family is special in that there are some people who are born as gods, but there are some people who need to be enlightened or given their powers by a god like us. "

"What an interesting system"

Othinus was also quite interested in how the gods worked here, so when I asked them some questions, it was almost the same in that she and Touma differed only in a few points. Kanako continued

"So why is it slowly disappearing?"

"Let's see, first is the great development of Science"

"I see, because people believe in gods less and less, spiritual powers, ghosts should gradually disappear, right?"

Touma realized it right away because before he got involved with magic he didn't believe in gods. Why do you say that? Obviously you don't know that. He thought this was Touma's previous reaction before he lost his memory. Kanako nodded in agreement with Touma's words.

"That's right, the second is that Sanae's mother's family has a tradition of marrying someone with divine power, an Onmyouji or someone with supernatural powers to maintain the power for generations.

But gradually there are some people who no longer follow that tradition and marry ordinary people. Sanae's mother is one of those cases."

"Aren't you going to stop that?"

Othinus realized the problem in the number two that Kanako mentioned, Kanamo just smiled and said

"We don't like it, let's just let them go because they have the right to marry whoever they want. Forcing them is like a dictator, we can do it but we can't. I'm not a coward enough to do something like coerce them, not to mention it will cause war

"Makes sense, if it did, it would create a war. There have been many overthrows by such people, so the best way is to attract them so that the two of you maintain your power? Because according to As you two say, the more people you worship, the stronger you will become."

Othinus started getting a little serious because this was a topic that suited her quite well. Touma also silently listened for more information, Kanako nodded to that and continued

"Since the power of Sanae's mother's family was greatly reduced, only her mother and she still had strength, so Sanae's mother's family forcibly married Sanae to a person with divine power. saint when she was 16 years old but that guy is such an asshole. Sanae's opposition to his family and rejecting him should have denied Sanae as their relative."

"Wait, I'm a little suspicious"

Touma stopped Kanako's story and he realized something and said

"How old was Sanae and when did it happen?"

"Since the age of 16, after the marriage was reported to Sanae and rejected him"

"Don't you two find it strange?"

"Strange where?"

"It's a strange coincidence. Sanae got a scandal after announcing her marriage. It means that when he was rejected by Sanae, he spread fake rumors to the whole country."

It was only now that Kanako and Suwako realized what Touma meant and they made the stupidest mistake of their lives. Why is it that something simple and without a [Plot twist] is difficult to understand, yet they don't realize. Kanako banged the table and said while frowning

"Damn we should have noticed sooner. Why did something so simple we didn't realize in the first place?"

"Tch, what happened to us then???"

Othinus realized the problem and asked immediately

"We need two people to determine one thing correctly for Touma."

"What ?"

"Can a normal human being, ladies?"

"No, only close people or people with terrorist power can see us. Even if we have divine power, we will not be seen because we are always hidden."

Touma realized and said with his opinion

"That means that guy is stronger than you and has affected you so that you don't notice the problem so easily."

"..."

Touma fully understood why the Help Sanae mission had the word life-threatening. He thought he had to solve the problem by fighting no matter what. But right now it's best not to

"Why is that guy targeting only me? Besides my family, there are other families who also possess divine power? Even stronger than me."

"Whatever his plan is, we need to be on guard."

Kanako and Suwako were thinking about something when they suddenly remembered something, something extremely dark.

"We're thinking of someone"

"Who?"

"The opposite of god. Evil god. The bearer of chaos, death, lust. There's only one, but he's already dead so it can't be."

"That's also hypothesized, if he's still alive, we're in for a very dangerous business."

Othinus was the one who said that, she felt that it was not simple. It has a lot of problems. A voice in my head came out, it was Satsuki Rin

{I've heard it all. I just helped you learn about the Evil God, who caused many of Japan's civil wars. Including participating in the war to establish Gensokyo under a different identity, and then being killed by an unknown god after escaping from the founding of Gensokyo }

Touma replied

{So he's been on Earth for a long time, isn't he, Satsuki?}

{Exactly}

Touma was thinking many things, he didn't think he would have to fight a god again if he was still alive. To ease the tension, Suwako changed the subject

"The food is about to get cold, so let's eat it quickly."

"YES"

"Forget it again"

"Don't waste food"

So they focus on eating to temporarily forget the stress. And at the same time in a mysterious place deep in the city. There were more than 50 people bowing before a man, surrounded by a black halo with winged demons on his sides.

He was waiting for a group of four people, it was the four girls who bullied Sanae. The girl who was punched in the face was bandaged and reported to this man

"Did Sanae return to Tokyo?"

"Yes sir"

"Good, last time I was negligent and let her escape, but this time I won't."

The second girl reports to the man

"But she was accompanied by a very strange boy."

"Huh? How strange"

"Just when we were about to use the power you gave it, it was like it was wiped out."

The 3rd girl continues to report

"We even heard a glimpse of a creature's roar."

"Hm~ a boy can erase my power and the roar of a strange creature. Looks like we have to be on guard"

The man sat thinking, then turned to look at Rei and said

"I command you Rei, keep an eye on that boy for me. If he has anything special report it to me immediately. Don't be like last time, it was you who made me not catch Sanae. If this doesn't work, I'll kill your parents."

"Yes...yes sir"

He threatens Rei and she is extremely afraid of him but her parents are not like that, they are overjoyed and feel happy even if they die at the hands of this man. She really didn't want to do anything, she wanted to hide like Sanae. She thought to herself

"Save me, please save me and Sanae. Someone please"

"Okay, now go back to work as usual. Give what you have, for your strength, for me and for the Evil God. He will bring us a paradise of desolation and freedom! !!!!"

"For you, we will give our all"

The man laughed happily and watched the fools who gave their lives for him out of greed. Yes, he was the Evil God who was slain by a nameless god. He chuckled and thought

"Dear Sanae, soon. Your strength will be mine!!!!!!"

Meanwhile Index who was having dinner at Remilia's Mansion was feeling worried for Touma.

"What's wrong, Index?"

Index regained her composure and answered Reimu

"It's okay, let's continue eating"

Though saying that she was feeling nervous while eating, Reimu noticed and talked to Index to reassure Index, towards Touma who was checking and rearranging everything Sanae's things were extremely upset but you ignore it right away.

"What are we going to do tomorrow?"

"I want to visit my mother, do you mind?"

"It's okay, I don't mind"

"Thank you"

The two continued to prepare and began to sit together and talk, Othinus and the two goddesses tried the chess set that Sanae had just bought, the billionaire chess.

"I'm a little curious, why do you want to be a shrine maiden?"

"I want to help people and don't want anyone like me, I also want to be stronger"

"Is that so, quite a noble reason. Right, do you hate people who bully and insult you?"

"It's not exactly hate, but I don't want to treat people the same way, and I don't want to use that as an excuse to get revenge on them. It doesn't make any sense to do that."

"I see. You're kind, Sanae, willing to forgive others even though they've treated you badly. I admire you."

"Thanks... thanks"

Sanae blushed a little at his praise and Othinus heard it, as did the other two gods. Othinus looked at Touma in silence and reminisced about something. She also only smiled because he was stupid, he himself was the same, forgiving all his enemies instead of killing them, he gave them a way of life so they could return to the right path, admonishing them and got nothing in return, even though he was willing to refuse and deny what he did.

"That's where I love you the most, Human."

Othinus returned to her game, Touma and Sanae continued their conversation, and just like that, a day passed outside of Gensokyo.
