I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Suwako raised her head slightly, as if recalling what happened at that time.

"Most of your current strength comes from the faith these humans have in you. The more this energy you have, the stronger you will be. But conversely, if these humans no longer believe in you, I'm afraid your strength will instantly plummet to that of an ordinary god."

"That's what she said."

"He also said something I didn't quite understand."

"Cherish the present moment. Gods like this are rare."

Bai didn't know what to say for a moment.

According to Suwako's account, there was nothing wrong with what the rabbit said, and the explanation was even very clear.

After learning from Suwako that the energy he had previously received was the power of faith, Shiro finally understood the true nature of the immense energy within Suwako. However, because Suwako had never released it before, he could only sense it roughly, knowing that most of it was the power of faith, not as clearly as the rabbit had perceived.

And from the last words the rabbit said, it probably already understood the consequences if Suwako continued like this.

"And the rabbit?"

"left."

"As expected," Bai nodded. A being that could see this situation must possess intelligence comparable to that of an ordinary human. Leaving was indeed a good option.

But, a spirit rabbit appeared at this time?

Could it be that the rabbit god was created by some belief?

Bai hadn't spotted any so-called monsters along the way, only wild beasts. Perhaps at this time, due to the existence of the gods, monsters hadn't appeared yet, and humans only had to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters.

"Then, Suwako-sama, would you like to come with me and see what the humans of this kingdom are doing? Your frog has run away anyway, hasn't it?"

Bai smiled slightly and looked at Suwako. Instead of trying to reason with her here, it would be better to just take her there and see for herself. Suwako was a little too naive right now.

It was so simple that Bai couldn't help but want to see what it would become under his influence.

"...Can."

She didn't understand why Bai's smile suddenly became so annoying, but since it was a request from her god, she agreed.

"So, can it fly?"

Suwako nodded. As a god, she was born with the ability to fly and use her abilities.

"Would you like to speak to your witch here?"

"unnecessary."

"OK then."

So Bai took Suwako and left in a random direction. And just in case, Bai left a shadow of Suwako where he was. As long as you don't look closely, you will only see the same appearance as when he first met her, Suwako squatting there playing with frogs.

Chapter 4: Teaching 'Students' from Now on

After flying for a short while, the two arrived at an area slightly outside the shrine.

The two of them walked like this, observing the people around them.

In this era, there was no concept of cities, and people gathered in tribes of all sizes. The closer to the shrine, the more powerful the tribe represented.

Perhaps due to the proximity to the shrine, the locals had seen the elegant miko and the attire of some so-called nobles. Furthermore, Shiro and Suwako's clothing wasn't particularly ornate, so these people didn't treat them as gods. They simply gave them surprised looks and hurried away, unwilling to have anything to do with them.

"It seems like they don't know you."

Seeing how passersby could avoid them, Shiro made a small joke. However, Suwako didn't respond, and just watched everything silently.

Afterwards, the two of them arrived at an area roughly in the middle. The people here were no longer as knowledgeable as before. When they saw their clothes, they bowed down and called out to the gods. Although they didn't know who they were or what gods they were, their elders had told them that it was not wrong to do so.

After this, Bai added a layer of cognitive barrier for himself and Suwako, which would make ordinary people feel that they had come to the edge of this country without any special place.

It was already around noon, and the sun was hanging in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly.

Although neither of them is afraid of the heat, the people living here cannot be the same.

The two men walked into a village where some men were farming.

One of the men shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands and kept complaining, "How long will this damn weather last? If it keeps going like this, we won't have enough food for the winter."

The man waved an unknown iron tool connected by a wooden stick and a rope, knocking open the dry land bit by bit.

"Isn't there a god here? Why doesn't it rain here?"

"Hey, be careful with your words, the gods will hear you." Someone next to him whispered a reminder.

"What gods? I don't care if the so-called gods can hear me. I just know that if this continues, all these lands will be ruined and we won't even have food to eat! If the gods can hear me, that would be even better. Let them see what his people are like now!"

The man was talking to himself, and the iron tool in his hand had been knocking on the dry ground for too long, and the joints were falling apart.

Throwing the wooden stick aside, the man lay on the ground with an unwilling look on his face, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes. He remained unmoved even when the people next to him pushed him.

"How do you feel?" Bai looked at Suwako beside him.

"...They can leave on their own, I won't mind."

Suwako was silent for a moment and then spoke calmly.

"They came here because they believed you could make their lives better. Maybe they were better off when they first came here, but now they can't even survive."

"...What did you want to say?"

Suwako turned to look at him. Even though she didn't understand what Bai meant, she could still hear what he wanted to say.

"Aren't you going to do something? Like this..."

Looking at the man lying on the ground and the village in front of him, Bai waved his hand.

The sky gradually darkened, and soon raindrops began to fall. Feeling the coolness of the raindrops, Bai Ye created a barrier for their clothes to keep out the rain.

Suwako gently stretched out her hand to feel the raindrops, her eyes looking at the man who was just on the ground.

The man who had been lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face had now stood up, looked up at the sky and laughed, then knelt down on the ground with a look of horror on his face and bowed in the direction they came from.

"Thank you, God! Thank you, God! Please forgive my earlier rudeness! Please forgive me, God! Please forgive me!"

After praying for a while, the man saw that he had not changed at all, so he stood up excitedly. He then ran back to his house and took out several basins that looked like they were made of stone and placed them outside. The others followed suit.

The women who were busy doing something in the house, when they noticed the situation outside, began to kneel down in the direction where the men had been worshipping, muttering to themselves.

As everyone came to pay their respects one after another, Bai saw some yellow lines coming out of their bodies and flying in front of the two of them.

Part of it merged into Suwako's body, and part of it remained with him, but Bai did not merge it into his own body, but directly collected it.

Suwako watched all this and shook her head slightly.

"I can't. So I'll leave these things to you later."

"Um, have you arranged a job for me so soon?"

Bai was a little surprised. He didn't expect Suwako to arrange his future work so directly. Although this matter was not difficult for him, he didn't want to do these things.

"No, no, no, that's not the point. Since you don't know how, do you want to learn?"

"What is learning?"

"...So, what exactly do you know as a god?"

Bai was speechless for a moment. He knew Suwako was rather simple-minded, and he could tell she didn't know much at the moment. Even judging by her knowledge alone, many humans probably knew more than she did. He just didn't expect her to be so ignorant.

But...it's much easier to teach this way. Bai's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the 'God' before him.

"Create the land and control the worship of gods."

"...Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." But after sighing, I didn't expect Suwako to answer seriously.

However, Shiro didn't intend to continue the topic of 'What would Suwako be like as a god?' and explained his previous words.

"For example, you didn't know the magic I used just now, but after I taught you, you gradually mastered it. The process of mastering it is learning."

After saying this, Shiro paused for a moment, looking at Suwako who was lowering her head as if in thought.

After a moment, Suwako raised her head.

"Teach me, I want to learn."

"Of course." Upon hearing Suwako's words, a delighted expression instantly appeared on Shiro's face. He wasn't happy about Suwako's request, but rather that he noticed a hint of longing in Suwako's eyes. This longing for the unknown made Shiro slightly excited.

After all, no matter what it is, only when there is a demand can we make better changes. This is true for humans and gods.

Bai is not interested in the survival of these humans, and his strength growth does not rely on the faith of these humans. At most, he will just help them when he sees them. It is impossible for him to spend a lot of time thinking about how to help these ordinary people.

Perhaps those days in the Scarlet Devil Mansion had already caused some changes in Shiro, who was originally human, but they had not yet noticed. When he was with the elves, since the elves were originally human beings, some of Shiro's changes were suppressed.

And now that we have come to this era, Bai's change seems to be beginning again.

Chapter 5: The underdog overthrows the superior is a Japanese tradition

"Very good, let's try it next."

In the shrine, Bai and Suwako sat facing each other. Bai took back his hand that he had placed on Suwako to guide her, and Bai encouraged Suwako.

"It's okay, I'm sure it will succeed this time."

I don’t know if it’s because of the times or a problem with the gods themselves, but Bai always finds problems when teaching Suwako magic.

He was clearly in a very serious state, but was suddenly stopped by an unknown reason, resulting in the failure of the spell. Bai even put his hand on Suwako to feel the flow of energy in her body when Suwako was running energy, but was still interrupted by an unknown reason.

This was a little confusing for Shiro, but fortunately, Suwako didn't give up. Although she had failed many times, she still studied every day.

In his spare time, Bai would also teach her some basic theories. Although she learned them from Patchouli, Suwako listened very carefully. As for how much she learned, it was not clear.

Bai looked at Suwako in front of him with some encouragement, hoping that this time would bring some different changes.

Suwako closed her eyes lightly, the energy in her body circulated, and a cloud gradually condensed on her open hands, but after the condensation was completed, no change occurred.

If, following Bai's instructions, the water elements in the air were condensed to form clouds, raindrops would fall. However, Suwako was stuck at this step. She could condense the water elements, but no raindrops would form.

Seeing this, Bai thought he was going to fail again, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to interrupt Suwako's actions, something he didn't expect happened.

The clouds in Suwako's hand gradually turned dark, and suddenly raindrops began to fall.

Feeling the coolness falling on her hands, Suwako, who usually had a blank expression, actually showed a hint of happiness on her face.

And at the moment when the raindrops fell, Bai felt that the power of faith in Suwako seemed to have grown stronger.

"Success."

"Yeah, it worked."

As if sensing Suwako's joy, Shiro couldn't help but sigh. However, this was followed by doubts.

This time was no different from the previous times, so why did it succeed this time? And if I'm not mistaken, Suwako seemed to have more power of faith just now, so what was the reason?

However, seeing that Suwako was somewhat excited, Bai Ye didn't plan to think about it for the time being.

"Would you like something to eat? I can prepare some extra as a reward."

It felt like it was around noon, so Shiro didn't let Suwako try again. After all, the method was the same, and since it was successful this time, they still needed to find the reason.

Bai planned to investigate the reason why Suwako's power of faith suddenly increased just now, and first figure out whether the power of faith increased because of the success or the success was caused by the increase in the power of faith.

The situations represented by these two situations are very different.

But now, looking at Suwako with shining eyes, Bai smiled gently.

Even though he has been away from the Date A Live world for a while, he still keeps the habit of eating on time, not because he is hungry, but just to satisfy his appetite.

Moreover, in this era, although there are wild animals and fruits and vegetables, how can they compare with the food presented by Bai Gu, who has seen so many delicacies.

So during this period of time, Suwako also started to like the food that Bai created. However, the bad thing was that after eating it once, Suwako kept asking him for more.

Because she was a god, she wouldn't feel any discomfort from eating too much food. However, Shiro was slightly shocked when he saw how Suwako could quickly digest so much food with her small mouth open.

So later on, Suwako's food supply was restricted, and she would only be given some food at normal people's meal times every day, but she would also give her some rewards occasionally.

These days, Bai has taught Suwako more than just magic. He has also taught her what humans need in this era and what a god should do. Of course, Bai doesn't hold Suwako to human moral standards.

During this period, whenever Bai thought Suwako had learned something, he would give her some rewards. Sometimes it would be some items, and sometimes, like now, he would give her some more delicious food. After all, it was very cute to see Suwako eating.

However, this era still has some flaws, such as...

Looking at the blonde loli in front of me who was opening her little mouth and constantly putting food into her mouth, this scene that would make people's appetite grow was completely ruined by the fact that this loli was grabbing the food with her hands.

It's not like Bai hadn't taught Suwako how to use cutlery and the like, but perhaps because of her innate talent, she just couldn't learn no matter what. So after teaching her a few times, Bai gave up on the idea.
