Bab 238: Chapter 238
The long staircase of the castle tower seemed endless for ordinary people, but for the two sisters who had become "gods," it was a short journey.
Soon, they arrived at the castle tower. The space was vast, adorned with folding lamps, intricate carvings, and painted structures. Even an unassuming beam or column bore exquisite patterns.
Though they had become "gods" and could easily create such a building themselves, the divine power that filled every corner of this place was beyond comparison.
Two goddesses, identical in appearance, knelt and sat on the main seat of the hall. They wore purple Japanese-style clothes, gorgeous and timeless.
The goddess on the left exuded an aura of sharpness, as if she could split the sky in two at any moment. The goddess on the right had a soft expression, her eyes as gentle as those of a big sister.
It was clear that the one who had spoken earlier was this gentle 'Narukami-sama.'
Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho approached the throne anxiously and knelt down. "We greet you, Lord Narukami," they said in unison.
The Fox Fairy had already told them that Yujian Narukami was a twin goddess, so they were not surprised.
Raiden Makoto nodded and spoke gently, "Among gods, there is no need for servitude. You are not anyone's retainers. Simply address yourselves as equals. Sit down, and let me take a good look at you."
Shinobu and Kanae found Raiden Makoto to be truly gentle, and their nervousness disappeared instantly. They knelt down and sat beneath the throne, respectfully gazing at the two main gods before them.
Though they were no longer nervous, they still felt a sense of awe. This was their first time meeting such a god, someone who had only existed in myths and legends—and not just any god, but a 'main god.'
They were no longer novices; they had already learned from Lady Yae Miko about the power of a 'main god.' A main god was the incarnation of the world's rules, the leader of civilization, the central figure in myths and legends.
Raiden Makoto studied the Kocho sisters carefully and nodded in satisfaction. "Well, well, my sister Ei and I are twins, and you two are also sisters. One of you is gentle, and the other is fierce. What a rare coincidence."
"You both have outstanding appearances and figures," she added.
Raiden Ei looked at her sister with slight embarrassment. What was Makoto saying? Shouldn't these new gods be rewarded and then asked to stay in Inazuma to contribute to the land?
Makoto noticed her sister's expression and sighed internally—her sister could be so naive. Beautiful goddesses from Inazuma would surely make Lord Tenri linger a while longer. This, in turn, would increase their chances of gaining favor from him.
Hadn't they seen the Great Dendro Archon and the Little Lucky Clover Archon in Sumeru? Even the Little Lucky Clover Archon had been taken to Mondstadt by Lord Tenri to play.
When she sensed the Little Lucky Clover Archon's presence in Sumeru, she had taken a curious glance. She had felt so envious back then.
The Kocho sisters immediately became shy after being praised. "Narukami-sama, you flatter us. We are not as beautiful as you," Kanae replied.
The sisters didn't find it strange; they had never had face-to-face contact with gods before, so they assumed this was a normal compliment.
Makoto continued, "The Divine Realm is desolate now. You two sisters shall follow me to Inazuma and liven things up a bit."
Although there were many people in Inazuma, there were very few who could engage in meaningful conversation with the twin goddesses. Aside from a couple of yokai—like Yae Miko—the rest were merely subordinates who acted timidly around the sisters.
Shinobu and Kanae had already prepared for this possibility. They looked at each other and then spoke respectfully.
"We wish to apply to bring our family to the Divine Realm."
Makoto smiled gently, "Of course, that is possible, but you only have one opportunity for this. In the future, we sisters may not have the authority to allow you to return to the lower world."
The 'Divine Covenant' stipulated that every new god had one chance to return to their original world. They were not allowed to interfere with events in the lower world—they could only bring their family members back.
The gateway to the Demon Slayer World was within the Inazuma Divine Realm, where the Kocho sisters were now its supervisors. Even without the permission of Lord Tenri, they could not return to the lower world.
After gaining approval, Shinobu and Kanae stepped through the 'gateway' once again.
There was no fanfare or visions; they silently returned to the Demon Slayer World, where they brought Kanao, who had been staring at the sky in a daze, back to the Divine Realm.
Kanao still appeared as youthful as she had when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, her growth seemingly frozen in time. She held Kanae's hand tightly, her attachment evident.

**Inazuma, Narukami Island**
Narukami Island was bustling with life. Yae Miko was leisurely eating fried tofu, her pink fox tail swaying behind her. She was happily bragging in the 'god group,' enjoying the praises lavished upon her by the other gods.
Suddenly, her entire body trembled, an indescribable sensation traveling from her tail to her ears.
A high-pitched yelp escaped Yae Miko's mouth. "Ahh—!"
She reflexively tried to swat at whatever had touched her tail, but her wrist was held firmly. She found herself unable to use her divine power.
A familiar voice sounded beside her. "Hey~ What's wrong, my beautiful fox? Just touched your tail a bit, and you're already trying to chase me away?"
Yae Miko's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened with delight as she quickly turned around.
A perfectly handsome face came into view, his hand gripping the base of her fox tail.
"Lord Tenri!"
Yae Miko's fox ears perked up, and she threw herself into his arms without hesitation. She wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her head against his chest.
"Lord Tenri, I've missed you so much!" she said, her voice laced with longing.
Takumi looked down at the affectionate Yae Miko in his arms. Without hesitation, he placed his hand on her fox ears, slipping his fingers inside to scratch the soft white fur.
"Tsk tsk, you little fox. I thought you might be afraid of me after learning my true identity. But I see you've accepted it quite quickly. You haven't let it go to your head despite being loved by me."
Yae Miko was indeed worthy of being Inazuma's pride. She was smart and knew exactly how to please him.
Yae Miko let out a seductive sound, her tail and ears twitching at his touch. "Lord Tenri~"
At the entrance of Narukami Shrine, Alice stood dumbfounded at the sight of Yae Miko making such noises.
Even Klee, who was beside her, bit her index finger curiously. "Mom, what game is Daddy playing with that fox lady? Why is the fox lady making those noises?"
