Kapitel 241: Chapter 241

Paimon flew into the Narukami Taisha Shrine, crying and shouting. She was shocked when she saw Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei. When she saw Takumi, she was so frightened that she quickly stepped back several meters, even the tears in her eyes stopping instantly.

Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei looked at each other. Of course, they knew that Paimon was one of the Four Shadows of Heaven. After all, they had seen Istharoth in a similar form.

So when the traveler and Paimon came to Inazuma, they were given a lot of preferential treatment.

But that traveler was truly good at getting into trouble. She traveled over mountains, explored untouched ruins, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets.

Fortunately, she was always careful not to interfere in the lives of the people of Inazuma.

Eventually, the traveler came to the Tenshukaku to meet Raiden Shogun.

For the sake of the Four Shadows of Heaven, Raiden Shogun treated the traveler to a feast and answered some of her questions.

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho remained silent, kneeling quietly behind Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei.

In this kind of situation, it was not something that the two new gods could speak up about casually.

Raiden Shogun said gently, "What's wrong, Paimon?"

Paimon hesitated timidly, her face still stained with small tears.

Yae Miko chuckled, a hint of teasing in her purple eyes. "What's wrong, little one? You and the traveler rushed in front of us with such confidence before, so why are you so scared alone now? Where's the traveler who's always with you?"

Paimon stammered nervously, "N-no..." Then, suddenly, she burst into tears. "Oh, Lady Yae! The traveler was taken by a strange god!"

Raiden Shogun was puzzled. "A strange god captured her? There are only five gods in Inazuma so far, and the other two just arrived today. How could there be another god here?"

Paimon cried anxiously, "It's true, it's true! She was captured on Watatsumi Island. Lady Yae, Inazuma, can you negotiate with that strange god and get her back?"

Raiden Ei frowned. "What on earth happened? Explain, please."

Sangonomiya Kokomi hurriedly walked in, sweat dripping from her forehead. "General, it happened like this..."

"There were strange sounds coming from the passage leading to the Abyss on Watatsumi Island, and the traveler asked the people of Watatsumi about it."

"When she heard there were ancient ruins of the Byakuyakoku at the end of the passage, she took it upon herself to help the people of Watatsumi solve the strange noises. At that time, I tried to stop her from entering without permission."

"But while I was returning to Narukami Island to handle government affairs, the traveler sneaked in."

"After I found out, I returned to Watatsumi Island and found Paimon crying."

Kokomi seemed a bit helpless as she recounted the events. She sighed, glancing at everyone present.

When she saw Takumi, her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed.

Lord Takumi was here in Inazuma today.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces behind the General, she sensed the divine aura and was shocked.

Some time ago, it was already surprising enough that Lady Yae had become a god, and now Inazuma had gained two more gods?

Takumi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Kokomi and Paimon.

The fourth life star of Sangonomiya Kokomi was about to light up. It seemed that the people of Inazuma held her in high regard during this period.

After all, her abilities in managing internal affairs were indeed impressive.

"Paimon, please explain everything slowly, or no one will understand what happened."

Takumi's golden eyes flickered slightly, instantly understanding the situation, and he sighed inwardly.

Paimon's eyes widened. "You... are you going to help me?" She knew this deity was the god of Sky Island, and he could definitely help her get the traveler back.

Takumi spoke playfully, "I have conditions. If you agree, I will help. If not, I will leave."

Paimon flew over in a panic. "No, don't leave!" She then quickly explained, her gestures animated.

"So, um, the traveler wanted to visit that ancient country. Then Lumine took me, and we sneaked in while no one was watching."

"That place was eerie, so creepy, filled with ghosts and monsters."

"But there were many treasure chests! I tried to pull Lumine back, telling her not to go further."

At this point, Paimon drooled a little. "But Lumine said after finding the treasure, she would buy me delicious food with half of it."

"At the end of the passage, there was a massive door and two stone statues, which claimed to be guardians of the underworld."

"They kept asking if we could go in, and of course, we wanted to go in."

"Then the two stone statues said Lumine was unqualified to enter. Lumine felt the statues were mocking her, and she started fighting them."

"She fought for a long time, and eventually, a female god emerged from the door."

"The goddess said something to Lumine angrily and then took her away. The door closed."

"No matter how much I yelled, the door wouldn't open, and no one answered me."

"I was so scared. I had to bite the bullet and ran back the way I came. I was almost eaten by monsters..." Paimon shivered with fear, tears flowing again.

Raiden Shogun was speechless. "That traveler... actually went to the gate of the underworld..."

The underworld was a place even demon gods had to follow strict rules to enter; otherwise, they risked being countered by the laws of the underworld.

Takumi said with a smile, "Lumine dared to enter the underworld. It is a place only the dead can enter. If a living person enters..."

Paimon, confused, stared at him. "What will happen?"

"Of course, they can never come back."

Paimon cried out in panic, "Waaaaah!"

Takumi continued, "Well, that's the usual case. But I can negotiate with the gods of the underworld."

Paimon stopped crying, pouting angrily. "You almost scared me to death!"

Takumi stood up and looked at Raiden Ei. "Ei, please prepare a feast so that all the gods of Inazuma can gather and celebrate. I'll head to the underworld to retrieve that daring traveler."

Raiden Ei was overjoyed when she heard Takumi call her by a nickname. "Yes, Lord Tenri." The fact that he gave her a nickname made her heart flutter.
