Holding on to the bar, Zonggu coughed for a while before he recovered from the strong stimulation of the strong alcohol flowing into his throat.

"Cough...cough!"

The culprit was just standing at the bar and watching with a smile.

She quickly finished mixing the second glass of her casual cup, drank it in one gulp, and Souya immediately stepped back warily.

"hehe……"

The wine in his mouth didn't linger long. Izanami put down the goblet and brushed the tip of her tongue across her crystal lips.

"I like the word 'reunion'. Now that you're here, let's stay here, Fangming."

"Forgive me for refusing."

"Why?" She looked at him, "Are you still angry?"

It was still in the past, Zonggu didn't know what she was talking about, and he didn't want to tell.

The brief and painful kiss made him sink for a while, and then he quickly woke up.

"I didn't come to Tachibana...Izanami-sama for this matter."

He awkwardly changed his nickname, but she didn't feel dissatisfied and listened to him continue.

"I have something else to ask of you."

"I see. So Fangming is the same as them."

She tilted the wine glass, and Zonggu turned around and saw that she was pointing at the spirits who had been hiding aside before.

The two seemed to be very close, and they wisely gave way to the bar and kept looking at him in the corner.

The girl who was sitting on the high stool a few minutes ago was no longer hiding somewhere.

"They also came to me with various requests... Really, I don't know who spread the news that I am here."

"As early as more than a thousand years ago..."

Soya turned around again, "There are rumors in the underworld that Lord Izanami is staying at the Kyoto Royal Garden."

"Have I been here this long?"

Izanami twirled the empty wine glass, seemingly lost in memories.

"To put it this way, it's no wonder that I always felt particularly peaceful during the time I stayed in Sendai. It turned out to be because they couldn't find me."

"..."

Hearing her deliberately mentioning that time, Zonggu pretended not to have heard.

Izanami looked at him, "What is it that Yoshiaki wants to ask me for?"

"I think……"

"Wait a minute, before you speak, does Yoshiaki know the rules of Kyoto's Takamagahara?"

Zong Gu was interrupted, his heart sank, and he slowly shook his head.

"If you want me to help, you have to do something for me." She smiled and said, "That's fair, right?"

"That's all I've heard."

He then asked, "What does Master Izanami want me to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Fangming should talk about his troubles first."

Zonggu glanced at the amulet she still held in her hand, stretched out her arm, and placed it on the bar between the two of them.

"Please ask the great god Huangquanjin to purify my constitution." He opened his palms and said, "I ate Huangquan's food, and the aura of Huangquan was left in my body that cannot be eliminated."

"If it were not for the amulet in Lord Izanami's hand, I would be endlessly hunted by the Daughter of the Underworld."

"Then just go back with them."

"..."

"hehe……"

Izanami picked up the amulet and said, "Yoshiaki, do you know what this is?"

["Fangming, come here...do you know what the teacher has in his hand?"]

"..."

His mind felt dazed for a while. Zonggu took a deep breath and spoke again after calming down.

"As you can see, this is an amulet."

"What about the material?"

"Peach wood..."

Having just recalled the creation myth, he suddenly realized something, "Is this the peach wood of Hirazaka?"

"That's right." Izanami looked at the palm of her hand, "The original body of this amulet is the peach tree that my husband used to deal with Huangquan's pursuers."

"I used the Tian Congyun Sword to chop it for three days, and I thought it was all destroyed."

Zongya didn't expect this amulet to have such an origin. After the accident, he inevitably started to worry again.

"This is not my thing. Sooner or later it will be returned to others...please return it to me."

Izanami laughed and suddenly clenched her hands.

"I can't do it."

"..."

"Don't get me wrong."

She put the amulet on the bar and did not return it directly to him, "I mean, I can't get rid of the underworld aura in Fangming's body."

After putting down the amulet, the hand held his own.

"After all, even I look like this."

"But Izanami-sama is the master of the underworld, and all the girls of the underworld only obey you."

"Then it's better to let Fangming take my place."

"..."

Somewhat reluctantly, Zonggu pulled his hand back.

In fact, he didn't have high expectations.

One of the most important reasons why Izanami was abandoned by Izanagi and even Takamagahara was that she ate food from the Underworld and turned into a so-called filthy body.

How can you save others if you can't save yourself?

"Isn't Fangming unwilling?"

"Stop joking."

Zong Gu sighed silently. Since the root cause cannot be cured, he must at least treat the symptoms first.

"Recently, a peerless evil spirit that escaped from the underworld appeared in the Lake Biwa area. The daughter of the underworld and the underworld army are no match for it. Does Izanami-sama know about this?"

Kyoto is a key place in Kinki, and he didn't believe that she didn't know anything.

"I know."

Izanami showed an unreadable smile again, "Speaking of which, he and I have quite a relationship."

"..."

Zong Gu was slightly startled, "What's the relationship?"

"Are you curious, Fangming?" She smiled, "It's a very dangerous relationship."

"In this case, I'm relieved."

Soya looked at her, "I want to ask Izanami-sama to destroy it."

"How cruel."

"..."

"But I agreed."

"That……"

"But I can't get out of bed lately."

"..."

Izanami looked at his helpless expression for a while before speaking again.

"Let her help you."

...

"Welcome to Takamagahara, Kyoto!"
