As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

It would be nice if I just had money.

Selling official positions and titles was a common practice in every dynasty, let alone something as trivial as building a shrine?

Saibe Akita is a famous writer in Sakurajima, and also a well-known Onmyoji here.

It would be most appropriate for him to act as Yuanhui's guarantor.

The rats in the sewers never grow up.

Only by obtaining official endorsement can the faith be spread throughout Sakurajima, allowing Genhui's power to expand rapidly and become a force that can influence the outcome of the story.

Saibe Akita didn't originally want to be the guarantor.

When faced with Yuanhui's request, this man who only appeared briefly in the story wanted to refuse loudly.

But in the end, he agreed.

There was no way, Yuanhui gave too much.

Although most of her wishes were devoted to medicine, Sharan came from a large family and had received a good education in business.

Even without using supernatural powers, relying solely on her brain is enough to have the effect of a dimensionality reduction attack on this era.

Under the careful management of this virtuous wife, Yuanhui doesn't have to worry about money at all.

After getting Saibe Akita's promise, Yuan Hui said to him as if he was just mentioning it casually, "Mr. Saibe, I know you are a famous writer known all over the country, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Logically speaking, he should address the other party as 'Saibu-sama' here.

But under the offensive of money, Yuanhui has successfully maxed out Saibe Akita's favorability and gained the other party's "respect".

"Oh? What's the matter?" asked Saibe Akita.

As the saying goes, you have short hands when you take someone, and you have a short mouth when you eat someone.

Having just received a large donation, Saibe Akita didn't mind helping Yuanhui again.

Of course, the kind that is not too troublesome.

If it is really a big deal, Yuanhui will have to continue to pay more money.

"It's like this." Yuan Hui said in a flattering tone, "In fact, I have a daughter at home who has just come of age. She is very beautiful and I love her very much."

"But because of this, I guess I've always been troubled by whether to give her a nice name that matches her beauty."

"This time, I came here, in addition to hoping to get permission from Mr. Saibe to build a shrine, I also hope that Mr. Saibe can give my daughter a nice name."

According to the plot, the main purpose was to ask Saibe Akita to name the child, but Genki treated it as a bonus.

In the original story, it was because of Saibe Akita's endorsement that Kaguya-hime's beauty spread throughout the country, making her the most beautiful woman of the era.

This is how the five suitors and five problems came about.

But Yuanhui didn't want the story to develop this way.

Being praised for her beauty was not a blessing for Princess Kaguya.

After her fame spread, all the men in the world, no matter how rich or poor, wanted to marry Princess Kaguya. Just hearing the name of Princess Kaguya made them feel fascinated, and the fire of desire in their hearts burned, hoping to see her even once.

To this end, they tried every possible means, even secretly digging holes in Kaguya's wall to peek in and comfort her.

They would also gather around Kaguya's house and walk around there day and night, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.

For some vain women, such a life may be a dream life.

But Yuanhui had also lived with Jingu Mako for three months, so he naturally knew that she was actually a quiet person.

Whether from the perspective of being a son or a father, he actually doesn't want Jingu Mako to live such a troubled life.

Therefore, Genhui prepared another method to meet the requirements of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" so that "Kaguya-hime" could easily gain the admiration of thousands of people without having to show up in public.

Let the story smoothly enter the plot of 'Five Problems'.

His approach is simple -

A girl can rely on her father’s status.

As long as he can become the most powerful person on this island country, even if he doesn't know what Kaguya looks like, as the only daughter of Minamoto no Hikaru, she will still have countless suitors.

He would be like a huge barrier, standing in front of 'Kaguya-hime', preventing her from contacting people she didn't want to contact, or doing things she didn't want to do.

"That's not difficult." After hearing Yuanhui's request, Saibe Akita waved his hand and ordered his servants to bring paper and pen.

It's just a nice name, and that's what he's best at.

"Excuse me, does your daughter have any outstanding qualities? For example, beautiful eyebrows, fair skin, or a small mouth?"

Saibe Akita asked.

A name cannot be chosen out of thin air. It must always show some of the girl's advantages or strengths.

In fact, Yuan Hui was already prepared for this——

"My daughter is the one favored by the night."

"Under the night sky, her beauty was as beautiful as if it were glowing."

Minamoto did not say that Princess Kaguya really glows at night, but told Saibe Akita it as a metaphor.

Since he was determined to hide his daughter from the world, it would be best not to show that she was different from ordinary people.

Saibe Akita didn't feel anything was wrong.

If Yuan Hui hadn't said it, he naturally would not have imagined that this man's daughter was split out of a bamboo, and was also a princess of the moon.

After a brief pause, he used the brush filled with ink to write quickly on the yellowed rice paper, and soon wrote three words:

【Princess Kaguya】.

He took a look at the name, showed a very satisfied expression, and then handed the paper to Yuanhui.

"The name means 'a beautiful girl who shines even in the dark.'"

"I think this is a name that suits your requirements very well."

After seeing these three words, Yuan Hui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Logically speaking, he should have invited Saibe Akita to his village, let him meet Jingu Mako, and then let him name her.

But since Genki was planning to let Jingu Mako hide behind him, he took the initiative and did not adopt this method.

He was a little worried that this approach would lead to a deviation in the naming of Saibe Akita, resulting in the name "Kaguya-hime" no longer being born.

Although Yuanhui had also thought of a response plan (such as errors in the communication of the code), since it went so smoothly, it couldn't be better.

"Thank you, Mr. Saibe."

After thanking Saibe Akita, Genki folded the paper and put it in his arms.

The name Kaguya-hime finally appeared in this era.

In almost all reincarnations, this is the most colorful name of this era.

But in this reincarnation, she is destined to make way for another name.

……

……

Genki, who returned from [Sanmuroto], was not punished by [Tsukuyomi].

This meant that the goddess condoned his actions.

Not only that, the end of the trip to [Sanmuroto] means that the national map of Sakurajima is open to Genki, Saran and Tamamonomae.

After obtaining official permission, Yuanhui and Sharan no longer encountered any obstacles in their missionary journey.

This trend of worshipping 'Shennong, the God of Medicine from the East', gradually swept across the entire Sakurajima through the efforts of the two.

The people of Sakurajima at this time were extremely "reverent towards China and fawning on foreigners". Buddhism in the history of Sakurajima took advantage of this trend to spread across this island nation.

Yuanhui and Sharan naturally also caught up with this fierce hurricane.

Of course, in addition to these, both ordinary people and princes and nobles have gained certain benefits from believing in "Shennong".

After establishing the religion, the first thing Yuanhui did was to open a free school to train medical personnel who could cure diseases and save lives.

Although it was impossible for him to directly teach the theories that came more than 1,300 years later to his believers, because they were too advanced, they could easily be discovered by the envoys returning from the Tang Dynasty.

But even without such advanced knowledge, the knowledge of organizing the medical knowledge of the Tang Dynasty at that time and constructing a complete and systematic educational theory and knowledge system was enough for Yuanhui to monopolize this industry bit by bit.

Moreover, in this age of extraordinary powers, mundane power alone is naturally not enough.

You must also deal with the challenges of monsters and spirit binders.

Saran is the other half of Saint Peter, Genki is the future Judas, plus Tamamonomae has the consciousness of the Jade-faced, golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox.

Although there were occasional tough opponents, they ultimately posed no threat to this emerging religion.

In fact, if one really had to consider the use of force, only the royal family of Sakurajima would be a threat to Genki.

Under these conditions, Shennong Religion expanded rapidly at an astonishing speed. In just a few years, it swept across the entire Sakurajima, and there even appeared to be a situation where Shintoism, Buddhism and Shennong Religion were in a three-way competition.

Because of this, Emperor Sakurajima even made an exception and gave Genki a surname, which is——

Bamboo Cutter.

However, Kaguya-hime, also known as Jingu Mako, does not need to worry about these things.

Although everyone knows that the leader of the "Shennong Sect", Taketori Teru, has no son, he only has a precious daughter whom he cherishes.

But almost no one has ever seen what this Kaguya Taketori looks like.

Even those who come to propose marriage are not allowed.

This shows the benefits of power.

In the original text, although Taketori himself did not allow Kaguya to appear in public and rejected almost all suitors, this still could not stop this group of lustful men.

They came up with all kinds of tricks, making the place uneasy.

In addition to Kaguya-hime's beauty, the reason why they were so presumptuous was because Taketori didn't dare to do anything to them.

After all, the Bamboo Cutter in the original work was just a rich old man.

Even if we want to stop these people's behavior, we are powerless.

But now, Genhui is the leader of the third largest sect in Sakurajima, and he is also a spirit binder with extraordinary means.

No matter how much they wanted to see Kaguya-hime, these men did not dare to act rashly in front of her. They could only present their visiting cards to Genki in a proper manner, hoping to obtain the permission of the great leader.

Obviously, he was a little annoyed by these people, so Yuanhui simply announced to everyone in Sakurajima that if they wanted to propose to his daughter, they would need to find any one of the five treasures for him.

These five treasures are:

The stone bowl of the Indian Buddha, the jade branch from Mount Penglai, the fire rat fur from the Tang Dynasty, the five-colored jade from the dragon head, and the Zi'an shell from the swallow.

Each of these five treasures is a rare treasure, and it is even uncertain whether they exist or not.

After hearing the request put forward by Yuan Hui, all the suitors who wanted to attach themselves to a rich and powerful man looked at each other in bewilderment, and naturally, the number of people who came to bother Yuan Hui became very small.

It is precisely because of Genki's protection that Jingu Mako was able to grow up without worries.

The fact that Yuanhui had become a big shot did not have any impact on the relationship between her and Yuanhui.

No, it should be said that the only impact is that since he made the religion bigger and stronger, he has spent much less time with himself.

Not only Yuanhui, but also her mother Saran and Tamamonomae's mother are like this.

This made Mako Jingu a little unhappy.

But she is not a stubborn person, and naturally understands the difficulties of Yuanhui and the two mothers.

The relationship among the family has been very good from beginning to end.

What's more, she has [Lika], a playmate who grew up with her.

Well, to be exact, it seemed that she was the only one who grew up.

Even now, [Lika] still looks like a soft and sweet little girl.

Mako Jingu once asked Rika with some curiosity why she hadn't grown taller after several years?

As a result, this usually quiet doll girl first stiffened strangely for a moment, and then a lot of words came out of her mouth that Jingu Mako could not understand.

After calming down the excited little girl, Jingu Mako finally heard what she was saying.

According to [Lika], the monsters in this world have been contaminated by 'her'. If she eats the monsters in this world, she might be controlled by 'her', so she cannot swallow the monsters in this world and grow.
