Inside the God Craftsman's hut.
"So, Kaguya-sama, are you sure now that the box contains 'Xu'?"
Jue's heterochromatic pupils flickered as he looked at the lacquered gold wooden box in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"Well... not only me, Xiao Mo also thinks so. We have confirmed several times that the aura in this box is very similar to that on the dark side." Kaguya nodded, and then added:"But there are still some differences. I think everyone's initial guess should be correct - the ruins in this box were brought to the Izumo world by the ugly woman Quanjin from the destroyed Slavic mythology world. Perhaps because it did not originally belong here, or perhaps for some other reason, it has never spread like the ruins on the dark side."
As the guardians of the "Nest Projection" in the dark side of the moon, Kaguya-hime and the Dream-Eating Tapir are the gods who know "Ruins" best among the forces in New Takama-ga-hara, and are also the gods who are most familiar with the aura of "Ruins".
"Abe Haruaki once told Kamiya that there might be a third 'ruin' in the Izumo world that has not yet taken shape. Now it seems that the third ruin is in this box."
Jue had studied the Senbin Stone fragments on Yomi Hirasaka before, and had some exposure to the aura of "Ruins". Now her opinion on the lacquered gold wooden box was consistent with that of Kaguya and the others, so it seemed that everyone's initial judgment was not wrong.
"Master Divine Craftsman, controlling this wooden box will be of great significance to us, right?"
"Abe Haruaki mentioned that before he officially became the leader of the ghosts and gods, Kamiya had to go to the interior of the ruins to find the Qin people trapped inside. I think this box can be used as a portal to the interior of the ruins. Yes, it is very important. So, I have to ask Lady Kaguya to take the trouble to continue to guard this box with me. Until... we can hand it over to Kamiya personally."
"I will do my best!" Kaguya's eyes no longer had the usual innocent look. Apart from a moment of determination, what was revealed was more of an unstable anxiety and sadness. "By the way, Lord Kamiya..."
There was a brief silence in the cabin until Jue spoke again: "Would you like to go see him with me?"
"Of course, I'm going!"
Kaguya nodded vigorously.
Today, several days have passed since Kamiya led his team to explore the abyss. At the end of the last exploration, Kamiya and his team defeated Takemikaze and Amano-no-Funnakami, and also snatched the Butsu-Omi-kun, which was a great harvest.
However, such a rich harvest of spoils did not make the Kamiya Group excited. On the contrary, the senior staff of the entire Shin-Takamagahara were all immersed in anxiety and sadness recently. That was because -
Their leader, Kamiya Kawa, has been in a coma since returning from the abyss...
……
Jue and Kaguya used the pass token to travel directly to the Jiji General Hospital.
Although this area was included in the control of Shin-Takamagahara a long time ago, it has never been open to the ordinary ghosts under its jurisdiction. In addition to Takiyashahime who cannot leave this area, the only one who usually appears in this area is the foot-selling woman.
However, in recent days, Ciji Hospital seems to be very "busy".
A group of shikigami under Kamiya have been guarding here. The top leaders and even some middle-level cadres of Shin-Takamaga-hara, as well as the ghost monsters such as Wen Cha Yao Fei and the hearse group members who had been living in the world for a long time, will appear here from time to time.
After Kaguya and Kaguya arrived, they happened to meet Isohime.
"Oh... Master Craftsman, you've arrived just in time." After seeing Jue, Isohime straightened her expression, "I was just about to send someone to look for you. The candle-making monk, the foot-selling woman, and the medicine seller are waiting for you on the third floor of the hospital."
Obviously, even at the Ciji General Hospital, Isohime took the initiative to undertake the comprehensive work of information communication between staff.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Lady Isohime."
It was a very simple and direct communication. Neither party said anything else, and probably neither of them had the heart to say anything else.
Jue knew in her heart that the foot-selling grandma and the others would probably discuss with her the treatment plan for Kamiya Kawa again, and she didn't want to delay this matter at all.
The hospital corridor was a little dim, and Isohime's slender tail dragged slowly on the slippery floor, listlessly. When she was about to pass by Jue, Isohime suddenly turned back, her lips moved, but she tried to keep her emotions under control:"Please, please make sure the master wakes up... please."
After she finished speaking, Isohime lowered her head and walked away quickly without waiting for anyone to make any promises.
She has been in the hospital too long today and now she has to go back to work.
In fact, there was a moment when she wanted to be like that idiot Kanihime, holding the hammer, ignoring everything else, and sitting at the door of Kamiyagawa's room for the whole day without saying a word.
The Dragon Girl was worried about her master's condition, and she was extremely worried. Her mood at this moment was not much more relaxed than that little can of Crab Princess.
But Isohime knew that the more difficult the situation was, the more someone needed to remain restrained and calm, and someone had to maintain and keep Shin Takamagahara running.
The master certainly doesn't want to see everyone depressed...
"please."
……
The third floor of the hospital.
Here, Kaku met other craftsmen from Takamagahara.
"How's the situation?"
The first person to reply was the foot-selling grandmother:
"Lord Kaku, you are finally here. Listen to me, the injuries of Lord Karasu Tengu, Lord Ibaraki and Lord Shuten on Mount Oe have all improved today. I think as long as we continue to heal their flesh and blood, they will all recover in no time. Of course, the recovery of these lords is inseparable from the selfless dedication of Lord Takihime. I have just reported to Lord Isohime, and I have to record Lord Takihime's contribution..."
Takiji's "dedication" may not be purely selfless.
It's all helpless.
This princess, who was living as a guest in Takama-ga-hara, had finally regenerated a lot of her tissues and organs after a long period of rest and nourishment. However, due to the treatment of Karasu Tengu and others by the old lady who was selling her feet these days, Takihime was left with only her head.
Until now, I still feel a little sluggish.
"What about Kamiya? Still the same?"
After the conversation changed, the craftsmen fell silent.
After a while, the medicine seller said, "There are no obvious wounds on Kamiya's body. I heard from the gods who participated in the battle that he became like this after being swallowed by the power from Izanami... We have tried all the methods we can, but they are still ineffective. I think there is only one way to wake Kamiya up, which is the one you mentioned before."
The medicine seller and Kamiyagawa are old acquaintances, and there is a certain friendship between them.
In addition, the medicine seller had learned from the latter earlier that his master was basically trapped in the "ruins", and the only person who had the opportunity to go to the ruins was Kamiya Kawa.
So, no matter from which angle you look at it, the medicine seller spared no effort in curing Kamiya.
"Alas." Jue sighed heavily, but soon cheered up again, "If we really have to use that method... we already have the core materials for the Thunder God Shrine. I have also asked Cat Shopkeeper and Paper Dance to find some of the auxiliary materials needed. We can build the shrine at any time. I have also studied the [Wooden Sculpture of Two-Men Sukuna] quite thoroughly."
"The candle-making monk and I have checked the 'spirit' of Shengu. The power of faith he can obtain is extremely huge. In addition, the golden thunder has been accumulated in his lungs. His thunder magic has been completed. It is not impossible for him to obtain the authority of the Thunder God." The medicine seller continued.
The old woman who sold her feet also spoke up: "I have checked the Lord's flesh again. I think with the Lord's great power, I can connect the bones of the Thunder God with Jian Yu... It can be done!"
That's right.
This is the last remaining treatment plan that the craftsmen used to try to awaken Kamiya River.
Build the Thunder God Shrine, use the [Wooden Sculpture of Two-Men Sukuna], and connect the bones of Takemikaze Thunder God to the Kamiya River.
In this way, Kamiyagawa was given a second great authority, which was to control thunder and swords.
If he could truly absorb the power of the two divine skeletons, then Kamiya Kawabata would at least be a top god, and he should be able to wake up from the influence of Izanami's power.
But considering that Kamiya has not been storing Okuninushi's skeleton for too long, even if Takama-ga-hara has all the materials on hand, it would still be risky to accept a second divine skeleton for him now.
This matter is not something that the craftsmen can decide directly. They still have to discuss it with other gods in Takama-ga-hara.
In particular, the consent of the two goddesses, Prajna and Mary, must be sought.
Of course, considering Kamiya River's current state, if the gods on our side agree with the craftsmen's proposal, then it would be better to accept the second divine skeleton for Kamiya sooner rather than later. (End of this chapter)
