I have no regrets about my 2D world!

If you don’t know, then don’t. Just clean up before and after eating.

"Hey, Suwako, leave some for me."

Noticing that Suwako had almost finished half of the meal, Shiro was ready to start fighting with her.

The harmonious dining scene of the two, one adult and one child, was interrupted by a sudden accident...

"Finally found the thief who stole my ability."

A somewhat heroic voice came from above, followed by the pressure of a huge energy, which directly forced the humans around the shrine to kneel on the ground, but the two did not react to it.

The two looked up and found that a woman with short purple hair appeared right above the shrine, and her eyes were looking here.

"Unknown little god, won't you come and pay your respects to me when you see me?"

Seeing that the two men had noticed her but seemed indifferent, the owner of the voice was slightly dissatisfied, and a greater sense of oppression came, making Suwako frown slightly.

"Bai, you go and take care of it." A cold loli voice sounded, and Suwako stopped holding the food with her little hands for a moment.

"Oh, all right, but you have to leave some for me."

Bai nodded helplessly and flew up.

The two of them didn't care who the god in the sky was. Based on the oppressive feeling they had just felt, they both knew that it wouldn't be difficult to deal with her. Or rather, they both knew that it wouldn't be difficult to deal with her.

During the time that Bai was teaching Suwako, he also fought with Suwako. After all, if he only taught her some magic, Suwako would have the patience to listen, but she would have no patience for big principles.

So when they first started teaching her, they did have a little sparring. As for the results, I have to say that Rokuko's ability is really useful.

After using Rokuko's ability to directly seal the power of faith in Suwako, Suwako's only ability left was the ability to create 'Kun', but that level of ability posed no threat to Bai at all.

Later, Suwako was somewhat dissatisfied with the result, so Bai unsealed her and then used Kurumi's ability to teach Suwako a lesson again. After that, Suwako never opposed Bai's teachings again.

Moreover, when Bai tried to integrate some power of faith into himself, his own abilities seemed to have changed.

Chapter 6: The attacking 'enemy' and the farce ending

"Well, tell me who you are, or what god you are, and what you are here for. And hurry up and finish it, I still need to eat."

Looking at the purple-haired woman in front of him, Bai became curious. What she said just now seemed to have some other meaning.

"Haha, you little god, it seems that you are not as good as the one below. Why, do I want you to test me, or send you to die?"

The purple-haired woman didn't get angry at Bai's attitude, but laughed twice.

"Besides, haven't I made it very clear, you little thief who stole my ability?" As she spoke, the purple-haired woman glanced at Suwako below.

"Steal your abilities?" Bai frowned slightly.

Suwako had been with him all this time and had never gone out, so why would this woman say that? And if Suwako had behaved abnormally during this period, he would have definitely noticed it.

However, I didn't notice anything unusual, except...what happened just now.

Bai remembered the change in Suwako's power of faith just now. Could it be because of this?

Seeing Bai thinking, the woman above seemed to be getting a little impatient.

"My name is Yasaka Kanako, and I possess the ability to create the 'dry' level. Although rain is not my primary power, it is still within my reach."

"And those who repeatedly use the power of faith to condense water elements in an attempt to bring rain, isn't that also considered stealing my abilities?"

"The power of faith?" Bai seemed to understand something.

When Bai Yun had previously made the rain fall, he hadn't condensed the water element from the air, but had instead directly used his own power to manifest it. When teaching Suwako, he had inevitably used the water element from the air, and Suwako might have even increased her faith during the condensation process.

In this era where gods basically rely on faith to survive and become stronger, trying to use the power of faith to condense rain is itself competing for faith with those gods who gain faith through rainfall, so it is not surprising that it would be felt.

This also explains the sudden increase in the power of faith that Suwako gained when she succeeded. Although some humans may not know of Suwako's existence, they know that some gods are responsible for rain, so Suwako, who can perform this act, naturally gained some power of faith.

But Kanako isn't the only one who can exercise the power to bring rain, right?

Bai was a little confused, but Kanako on the opposite side gave an explanation.

"Although some of the minor gods in remote areas also possess such power, the faith they gain is insignificant to me, so I don't care about them."

"As for her..." Kanako said and glanced at Suwako below again.

"Not to mention that her kingdom is so huge, I can't just pretend I didn't notice that she's exercising such power in Yamato."

"Is that so?" Bai nodded slightly, understanding the reason behind the situation, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Although this matter is our fault, could you please not pursue it? I can give you something as compensation, or you can make a request, and I can satisfy it as long as it's not excessive. How about that?"

It's not that Bai felt that he couldn't beat her, but after hearing her name was Yasaka Kanako, Bai no longer wanted to fight, so he backed down.

However, to Kanako, Bai's behavior seemed like a provocation.

His power of faith was so weak, clearly a mere minor deity, yet he had the audacity to offer him something as compensation. Even among the eight million Yamato gods, he was one of the top ones. What kind of compensation could such a minor deity offer?

As for making requests, Kanako has never asked anyone for anything, or rather, there is nothing that she can do only by asking others. Hearing this, Kanako actually laughed a little.

Although her expression was smiling, Kanako's behavior did not match her expression.

Suddenly, an invisible gust of wind and a curtain of water appeared around Kanako, as if they were about to fight if they disagreed.

Seeing this, Bai shook his head helplessly. He had originally wanted to solve it properly, but it seemed that he had to show some strength.

"Well, in that case, I'm sorry."

Bai's figure disappeared in an instant, and Kanako seemed to have expected it. The water curtain in the sky poured down behind her, and the surrounding wind also surrounded her.

However, it didn't feel like hitting anyone as she had imagined, and Kanako's face changed slightly.

Guessed wrong?

"You guessed wrong. It's in front."

Bai's voice echoed from the front. Although Bai's figure was not visible, the wind around Kanako took action, gathering together and rushing forward through the air. The water curtain behind her gathered into a water bullet, some of which flew forward, while some remained in place.

"Well, wrong again. It's at the back."

Bai's slightly smiling voice came again, and this time it appeared together with a hand.

An arm suddenly appeared from a black hole and gently pressed on Kanako's shoulder, causing Kanako's body to tremble.

"seal up!"

As the sound rang out, Kanako felt the power of faith within her body instantly subside, unable to be summoned again. The surrounding water bombs and hurricanes also stopped.

And Bai's figure also appeared in front of Kanako.

Looking at Bai who was smiling, Kanako's face became a little gloomy.

"I don't know what you did, but if you think I only use the power of faith, then you underestimate me."

The surrounding water bombs reappeared, but this time without the power of faith, they looked less... shiny? Instead, they seemed more fluid, forming much faster than before.

Seeing this, Bai sighed helplessly.

"Hey, I really don't want to fight you, but looking at you like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down until I finish you off."

The calm voice spoke words that agitated Kanako, but this time she wasn't as careless as before. The space around her was engulfed in invisible winds. A leaf drifted by, instantly shredded.

But when she looked at Bai opposite her, she couldn't help but not look serious. Instead, she took out a white knife and a weapon with a black hole that she had never seen before.

Seeing Bai raise the weapon with the black hole, Kanako watched seriously, but suddenly saw Bai pointing the weapon at herself and swung the knife in his hand.

But for a moment, Kanako didn't understand what was happening. When she noticed Bai again, Bai was already in front of her, with his hand on her head. The hurricane surrounding her had disappeared without a trace.

"It's over." Bai said.

Then that inexplicable feeling came, and Kanako felt that her innate power also subsided.

Without time to think, her body instantly fell from the sky. However, just before hitting the ground, a gentle force pulled her body back, landing near the place where she and Suwako had just eaten. Shiro also returned to his original position and started fighting with Suwako for food.

Looking at this strange scene, Kanako's brain suddenly froze for a moment.

Chapter 7 The Origin of Gods

"You..." Looking at the two people eating in front of her, Kanako didn't know whether to feel relieved or sad for a moment.

Fortunately, they didn't kill me directly, but the sad thing is that these two people didn't seem to take me seriously. They just put me aside. Aren't they afraid that I will run away?

But when she thought about Bai's method just now, it seemed that he was really not afraid of her escaping. She still couldn't figure out what happened just now. The failure was so sudden and her ability was also sealed.

The battle seemed like a game, and only now did everyone come to their senses.

"You won't kill me?"

"Why should I kill you?" Bai put down the food in his hand and looked back at Kanako in surprise. Did he show that he wanted to kill her just now?

"Then you..." Kanako was a little confused. If he didn't want to kill her, why did he keep her? Was he going to torture her or something?

"Do you really want to be killed? And you were the one who came looking for me, so why are you still confused?"

Bai's tone was a little helpless. So Kanako used to be like this? Then he glanced at Suwako who was still eating, as if he understood something.

"I didn't mean to kill you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. And Suwako's success today was also due to your help, right? I don't know why, but I still want to thank you."

Bai turned his head to look at Suwako, recalling the excitement on Suwako's face when she succeeded, and thought it would be okay to thank Kanako.

However, Kanako was a little at a loss. She had been born for so long, but this was the first time she had seen such a 'polite' person... God?

"You're not a natural-born god, are you? Otherwise, with the little power of faith you possess, no matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat me."

It's not that Kanako is arrogant, but in this era, although the gods are born with some powers, there are so many gods and so much power, which means that most of the gods' powers are not strong.

In some places, even a simple power like rain can be split into two parts: cloud condensation and rainfall, and this is just a branch of her power.

Therefore, the gods of this era do not pay much attention to the growth of power, but care more about the power of faith. After all, it can indeed make them clearly feel the growth of strength.

Previously, she felt that Bai had very little power of faith, so she mistook him for a newly born little god. As a result, she was careless for a moment and ended up at a disadvantage.

However, judging from the situation in the battle just now, Bai did not use the power of faith at all, and relied entirely on his own ability, which she did not know whether it was the power.

In her impression, the only one who could do this was Amaterasu Omikami, who ruled over the soon-to-be-formed Yamato Kingdom and the eight million gods of Takama-ga-hara. However, Kanako did not think that Shiro could be compared with Amaterasu Omikami.

"That's right, I'm not a natural-born god, and the power of faith I possess is simply gained by accidentally helping some humans."

Shiro didn't look back, and while looking at Suwako who was a little angry because Kanako was left behind, he answered Kanako's words.

"Besides, it's rare to meet a god of some status. I still have a lot to learn. Plus, there are some special reasons, so I kept you here."

"Really? That's how it is." Kanako said a few words with some self-mockery, then walked to the side of the two people and sat down.

"Since you have something to ask me, a prisoner, do you mind if I eat a little? You seem to be eating well, can you give me some?"

Bai looked at Kanako in surprise, then smiled and said, "I don't have any objection, but whether Suwako agrees or not is not for me to decide."

After saying that, they both looked at Suwako at the same time.

Suwako, who was enjoying herself just now, looked over expressionlessly when she heard Kanako's words and saw Kanako sitting next to them. She seemed to want to say something, but finally nodded slightly.

Seeing Suwako like this, Kanako became interested.

"Suwako, although my abilities have been sealed, my perception is still intact. You don't have as much power of faith as I do. If you are not an acquired god like him, you probably won't be able to defeat him."

"If that's the case, then why would he listen to you, or what is your relationship?"

"Bai is my subordinate god, the god who protects me." Suwako didn't look back, her calm tone seemed to carry some happiness, and she was still looking at Bai with anticipation.

"Because Suwako is so cute." Bai smiled gently and brought the food in his hand to Suwako's mouth.

Weird looks passed between the two of them, and Kanako couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, you two are really interesting. Well, since you two are so interesting, I can answer any questions you have."

The two of them didn't stop because of Kanako's laughter. Suwako didn't understand why Kanako was laughing, while Shiro understood and didn't care.

The food in his hand had already been put into Suwako's mouth. Shiro picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he put the cup down and looked at Kanako.

"It's not a very complicated question. I just want to know what the gods in this area are made of, what the abode of the gods that some humans talk about is, and who leads the gods?"

"These shouldn't be secrets, right?" Bai finished speaking, and looking at Kanako who was thinking with her head down, he took the food handed to him by Suwako, then looked at Suwako who was a little expectant, and started feeding her again.

Suwako thought for a moment, then looked up at Shiro. "It's really not a secret. I thought you'd ask about powers. But you don't seem too interested in them. So, I'll answer your questions."

"Most of the gods in this region were born from human faith, with a few being born from the heavens and earth. As gods born from faith, they also derive various powers based on human prayers. However, they are generally very simple and have obvious weaknesses. The more people believe in them, the stronger they become. If no one believes in them at all, they will even disappear."

"Although the gods born from heaven and earth can also rely on faith to become stronger, they themselves have certain powers. Even if they lose faith, it won't cause any problems. At most, they will be temporarily weak."

"The abode of the gods, as humans call it, is Takama-ga-hara. Legend has it that there are eight million gods, and I am one of them. And the one who rules over Takama-ga-hara is the legendary Amaterasu Omikami. Below them are Takehashi Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who is as famous as Amaterasu Omikami, and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto."

"I know this because I'm stronger, so I've met Amaterasu Omikami. As for Takehaku Susanoo and Tsukuyomi Nobuko, I've only heard Amaterasu Omikami mention them, but I've never seen them."
