I don't own most of the characters. They belong to Adachitoka sensei!

"A love goddess? More like a war goddess," Daikoku muttered after Yato had relayed the story to him. "Well, I have considered the job before. Besides, other than having to solve relationship problems, I had plenty of time to kill so I decided to train in combat. A thousand years is a long enough time for a person to go nuts," I muttered. "I feel you on that one," Yato muttered. "Anyway, just call me Yato for now. Yatogami sounds weird," he told me.

"Oh! He's so handsome!" Kofuku gushed over my new Regalia, who sat on the floor. His eyes darted around the room, curious of his new surroundings. He looked slightly lost but at the same time he looked adorable. "So what's your name kid?" Daikoku asked. "Human name is Akito. As a weapon, Denki," he replied and Daikoku whistled. "Lightning eh? But aren't you a sword when you transform?" he asked and Akito shrugged. "I didn't pick the name so I don't really care," he said.

"Come, why don't we get you something to wear? Wearing that isn't really that cool to do so in this weather, right?" Daikoku said as he stood up, leading Akito up the stairs. Akito turned to ask me for permission but I smiled, making a shooing gesture with my hand. He nodded, following Daikoku upstairs. "He looks like a good kid," Yato said as he gulped down some beer. That guy loved to drink after a job apparently. No wonder he was so broke…

"Yeah he is," I muttered as I looked at my tea. "So what kind of memories came up when you named him?' Kofuku asked, whispering as she looked around. We all knew how bad it would be if a Shinki were to find out about the existence of a god's greatest secret, which is how the Shinki died. If they were to find out, they would eventually die of madness. "Don't ask. It wasn't pretty. It's just… its so sad…" I whispered as some tears sprang from my eyes. Remembering how Akito died, he was a true hero.

"Come on down, kid," Daikoku called as he walked down the steps, followed by some feet. Yukine came down as well followed by Akito, who wore a dark blue jumper and a pair of sweatpants. He looked slightly shy in them, tugging at the slightly too large shirt. "We'll go shopping tomorrow if you want," I said and he grunted. He looked away as I gazed at him, a slight pink dusting on his cheeks. I grinned a little, knowing how it was like for a 18 year old to feel in the presence of a girl.

"Well, I'm off to bed now," Yato said as he stretched. "Hold it, Yato! We still have to decide what we have to do tomorrow!" Yukine snapped as he yanked out a map from his pocket and rolled it out on the table. Yato groaned as Yukine started to point out the various locations that may have Phantoms and that they had to clear the next day. For a kid, he was pretty good at advising his master. "Say, are you a Blessed Regalia?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah, what about it?" he asked as I smiled a little.

"The way you take care of your master, you must really care for him. Take care of him well," I said and Yukine blushed a little. "Yeah, this idiot is hopeless without me anyway," he muttered as Yato grappled him to the ground. "Is that how you treat your master?" Yato grinned as he playfully patted Yukine on the head, who yelled in protest. "Say, Aiko. Since you're pretty free, maybe you can help us in this," Yato said. "Sure," I replied. "That was fast," Yukine grunted.

…

The next day, me and Akito walked down the street, lead by Daikoku. He had specifically left Kofuku at home since he said that as the goddess of poverty, she would wreck havoc wherever she went. I pitied the girl though… but her Regalia must really love her to do such a thing. "Here we are!" Daikoku said as he stopped in front of a large shopping mall, the neon sign shining in the sky. We entered to be greeted by a few ladies, some of who giggled when they see Akito. I groaned inwardly, wondering why I had to pick such a handsome Regalia.

We arrived at the men's section and Daikoku headed to the top floor to get some supplies for the house. "Say, I was wondering what a goddess like you is doing here with a god of poverty and a god of calamity?" Akito spoke as he rummaged through a pile of shirts. I jumped at the question. Akito hardly ever spoke to anyone, even to me and to be with him alone now… "Eh… how should I put this…" I started to say when he held up a magazine in my face. I turned pale when I recognized my drunken face on the cover.

"Kofoku-san lent this to me. I didn't know my master was of this kind of type," he said as he flipped through the pages, as though reading the contents when I know he had already read them. "Well, you would understand my position if you had had the job all this centuries," I snapped and he laughed a little, tucking it away in his jacket. His laugh was like the crashing of waves in the ocean and my heart skipped a beat.

"Well, its not like I care if my master is like this. I have wondered around for a long time, wondering when I will ever see the light of day again. I knew some gods had seen me but they never called out to me so I wondered if I was useless… but when you found me, I was so glad to have finally seen day again," he said as he smiled widely. "I will gladly serve you in your quest to find love again, Master Aiko," he said as he bowed deeply. My face reddened like a tomato as I begged him to stand up.

"Eh… it was no big deal…" I said as he looked up again. "I will do my best to be of your service. Besides, after reading the article about you, you sound really interesting," he said as I blushed even more. "Well… uh…. Anyway… oh look at this!" I blurted as I randomly snatched some clothes and stuffed them into his arms. "Go try them on!" I commanded, pushing him to the changing rooms. Some of the ladies nearby stared at us, shaking their heads. "Teenagers…" one of them muttered and I wanted to growl at her. "Hey lady. I'm older than your grandmother's grandmother you know," I muttered to myself as I shoved Akito into the changing room.

I didn't expect him to look good in everything I had snatched. He even looked cute in a Pokemon Go shirt with the words, "I will catch them all" written in gold with a pokeball underneath. "So you like them?' I asked as he came out with the clothes. "Yeah. They're pretty nice," he said as I whipped out my credit card. "Then bring them over to the counter," I said as he gaped at me.

"EH?! Isn't this a bit too much for you new Regalia?" he blurted as I whipped the card in his face. "You are my Shinki and as your master, I have to care for you the best I can. Besides, I never bought new clothes like this for my Shinki before…" I said as the lady at the counter took the card and swiped it. "Wait. You have others like me?" he asked as he took the bags. "Yeah. Some gods have more than one Shinki. For me, I needed people to manage the household so having a lot of Shinki helps with the work," I said as we walked to the entrance to meet Daikoku.

"Don't worry. You'll meet them in a year! They're all like family to me," I said, grinning as he let loose a breath. "You sure? I have a feeling I don't really get along well with others…" he muttered as I grabbed his hand. "Don't worry! It will be fine," I said as Daikoku called out for us. "Wow, you got so much stuff," he said as we approached. "Yeah. He needed a new wardrobe anyway," I started to say when my phone started buzzing. "Hello?" I answered when a familiar squeaky voice slammed into my ear.

"Yo, Aiko! Where are you now?" Yato chirped and I sighed. "At the shopping mall. Just finished buying new clothes for Akito," I said and I heard a yell coming from the other side of the phone that sounded like a cat. "Ughh… Yukine, what's the problem of asking for a little help?" he grunted as he cleared his throat. "Anyway, I have a little problem that I need help with from the goddess of love," he said. "What kind of problem?" I asked. "Well, you see, its this couple… the woman believes the man to be in a relationship with another woman so she wants to forget all about him like he never existed. I specialize in cutting ties but since this is a love case, maybe you want to take a look at it before I do it?" he asked.

I sighed, scratching my head. It has been a while since I have dealt with a case like this and it was never pretty. Most relationships didn't work out because they were unable to come to a mutual understanding. But still.. I can't just abandon my duty. "I'll be there. Where are you?" I asked and he quickly rattled off an address. "Akito, pass the bags to Daikoku. Sorry Daikoku, but we have a job to do," I said. Akito obeyed and gave the bags to Daikoku, who eyed me a little. "You ready? This may be a bit bad for a newbie," I said as I took his hand. It felt soft but strong at the same time and I tried not to squeal with excitement. "Just what are we going to…" Akito started to say when we vanished in a column of light.
