This is only the beginning. Feel free to report to Takamagahara that this land is yours.

Do you see now why we couldn't hand over the land too easily?

But... the people cannot give up Misagu. No matter what kind of lofty god tries to persuade them, they cannot overcome their fear of curses. Which is why...

We made an alliance. Misagu is powerful, but cannot communicate with humans, so together with Moreya they became "the god Misagu who controls the giant snake's curses".

This "Misagu" demanded to be treated as the chief god, with Chikato and Sosou as her underlings, or she would curse the land.

We have neither great hopes nor disappointment in the nature of man. They're simply fools who wouldn't stop fighting each other unless we introduced a god like this.

Disillusioned yet?

We didn't want our people reduced to nothing by a heavenly god who honestly believed the claims it was just a land of free infinite rice.

You, in your capacity as my retainer, will continue to handle internal matters. That's what you mean?
