My mother's love song

Just as Rhodes was about to attack the monster, Tamamonomae suddenly gave orders.

"Huh? Why should I rush in front?"

"Isn't that natural?"

Tamamonomae stared at her huge body and said, "It's impossible to let the noble body of His Highness the Great Gosho get hurt, right? You will be our human shield."

"In that case, you can be the meat shield. Nine tails should be enough for you to die nine times. I'll finish off the rest."

Tamamonomae's animal ears stood up, and he said angrily: "You overgrown brat...!"

The snake tail behind Ibuki Douji slapped the ground: "Are you dissatisfied? You are just a half-baked thousand-year-old fox."

“…Yeah, yeah.”

Rhodes sighed and drew a knife from his waist.

While holding the knife and confronting the fantasy tree, he turned around and said to the two of them: "You stay at the back, and I will block the front."

"How can this be possible!" X2

Tamamonomae and Ibuki shouted in unison.

Rhodes smiled and said, "You guys are making a fuss out of nothing."

"Uncle!"

"Your Majesty the Great Palace!"

"Ok?"

Rhode looked back and saw a thick red tentacle in front of him.

It was a branch hanging from the tree of fantasy.

"What era is it now? We are still making jump scars..."

Suddenly, the ugly branch in front of Rhodes split into four petals from the tip, like a huge alien mouth filled with thousands of fangs.

Then, it swallowed the boy.

Tamamo: “………………”

Ibuki: "………………"

"Gulu gulu..."

It can be seen that after swallowing Rhodes, the branches carried the rounded part all the way to the crown of the tree like a snake eating.

Immediately, the magical power of the Fantasy Tree became extremely high.

“Ahhhhhhh! His Highness the Great Palace has been swallowed up!”

Tamamonomae screamed and held her head, "It's over, it's over, it's over! How am I going to explain this to everyone later!

I was so proud to tell the ladies before that I would never let anyone hurt your husbands! Now my reputation is ruined!"

"........."

Ibuki Douji frowned.

She didn't think that her uncle, whom she adored and admired the most, was a man who could be easily eaten by a demon tree of this level.

Rhode was really swallowed by the Illusion Tree just because he was too slow. Even if he told Ibuki Douji this, she would not believe it.

"Hmph, I don't know what Uncle's purpose is, but... it's fun."

"Happiness, you! You better think of a solution! You're about to be digested!"

Unlike the anxious Tamamonomae, Ibuki-douji sneered and remained silent.

Suddenly, a huge torrent of magical power swept in the surrounding air and gathered towards the ground in front of Ibuki Douji.

"!"

As the atmosphere trembled, a crack was torn in the void, as if the world itself was torn apart.

High concentrations of magic power filled with divine aura burst out from the gap, and the shadow of a sword emerged from it.

However, if it is called a weapon, it is somewhat strange.

Rather than a weapon used to kill people, it looks more like a sacred weapon used for sacrifice.

The huge and straight sword body is decorated with exaggerated patterns, and at the end of the hilt, ten magatama are strung together.

"This is Ame-kun... No? It's not the same sword I know!?"

After hearing what Tamamonomae couldn't help but mutter, Ibuki-douji smiled charmingly and grasped the greatsword.

“There are quite a few, huh?”

Divine sword: Kusanagi's broadsword.

It is mentioned in the legend of the disaster dragon Yamata no Orochi.

After Susanoo defeated the dragon brilliantly...

A magic sword appeared from the tail end of the dragon corpse.

It is said that this sword has many names.

Kusanagi sword, Murakumo sword, and Tsumugari no Tachi.

The sword that the God of Tyranny [Aragami] pulled out from the evil dragon's body was none other than the divine sword called Tsumurakari no Tachi!

"........."

In the spatial distortion that seemed to shake the dimension, Tamamonomae suddenly realized.

This sword, the treasure of the snake god, will not

There are as many as there are names, right?

"If you want to cut down trees, you have to use a sword. Well, that's true."

Tamamonomae put her hands on her hips and stared at the fantasy tree that had completely digested her brother and was now showing its fangs and claws.

"I'll leave the demon tree to you... Eh!? What are you doing?!"

Ibuki-doji raised the Tsumukari no Tachi sword and swung it down.

However, the direction she was aiming at was not the fantasy tree, but Tamamonomae.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The latter screamed and dodged the sword at the critical moment.

A bottomless ravine was cut open at the place where they originally stood.

"Are you crazy? I know you have a lot of problems with me, but now is not the time to start a quarrel!"

Ibuki-douji didn't take Tamamonomae's angry shouting seriously.

"Let's put aside the divine punishment for the demon tree for now. Let me deal with the dark side of the incident first."

"Huh? A shady plot?"

Tamamonomae blinked.

Ibuki Douji said, "Don't play dumb. I have already heard about it from the smiling man [Ashiya Doman].

Where did that guy get the holy relic [Scabbard of Ame Murasaki] to summon me?"

"Uh, could it be..."

"It was Amaterasu who bestowed the scabbard on Ashiya Doman."

The word uttered by Ibuki Douji made Tamamonomae's shoulders tremble slightly.

She went on to say, “This Tenlan Holy Grail War was a conspiracy of Amaterasu from beginning to end.

He let Ashiya Doman act as his agent and transformed Heian-kyo into a lossbelt that was rejected by human nature.

All of this is to allow me to fully descend into this peaceful era."

"How on earth did they do that..."

Ibuki said: "The reason why Amaterasu can appear in this world is because the power that originally remained in this world has been activated."

"..."

“That is the blessing [curse] that was ever given to the world.

At the end of the Age of Gods, Amaterasu was not willing to leave the earth, but continued her existence in some way.

How could that woman, who claimed to be the eternal queen of Takamagahara, tolerate her own existence being transformed into a concept and her soul returning to the inner sea of ​​the star?

Therefore, she had been planning tens of thousands of years ago to one day stand in the sky again and look down at the earth from above.

With the power of that woman, she can easily imprint fragments of soul and spirit on the planet, which is the so-called echo of God.

But the problem is the flesh.

In order to fully manifest her prime, she must have the most perfect body as her container.

The reincarnation, in Shinto terms, is a shrine maiden, a shrine maiden who can carry all the powers of Amaterasu.

Ibuki-douji said this while looking straight at Tamamonomae.

"Are you trying to say that it was me..."

Bathed in the sunlight that bloomed from behind the peach-haired beauty, Ibuki Douji snorted, "Who else could it be except you, the shrine maiden of Amaterasu?

A beast that has received Amaterasu's power and vitality since ancient times... You [white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox] are the embodiment of Amaterasu's evil ambitions."

"..."

Tamamonomae frowned slightly and bit her lips.

"As long as your body is destroyed, Amaterasu's reincarnation plot will be shattered..."

Ibuki Douji said calmly, "My uncle doesn't want to hurt you, but I am different.

I have no objection to killing you...If killing you can eliminate the remaining ambitions of Amaterasu, it would be too cost-effective.

"Okay! Let me chop you up here and put an end to this long curse!"

"…………Ibuki, I didn't expect that you are a messenger of justice." Tamamonomae said.

"I just can't tolerate a god being above my uncle."

Tamamonomae sighed, "Ibuki-douji, there is something wrong with your explanation."

Ibuki narrowed his eyes: "What did you say?"

"I am not the reincarnated shrine maiden of Amaterasu."

She pulled out a lock of brilliant golden hair from her sleeve and said, “As you said, I have sensed the resurrection of Amaterasu.

My body has changed, this is a manifestation of the growing power of Amaterasu

It was my fault for not reporting this to His Majesty the Great Palace in a timely manner... But, I was not chosen as a miko."

"…What's going on?"

Tamamonomae said: "Even if Amaterasu uses my body to revive, in the end it will only be the sun goddess Amaterasu who will appear."

Ibuki asked, "Isn't this enough?"

"Not enough, far from enough."

Tamamonomae shook her head and said with a serious expression.

“There are better options than me, right?

A clan that has existed since the founding of Japan, and has ruled the earth in place of Amaterasu, born from the flesh and blood of the sun god and the power of the tyrannical god.

As the descendants of those two people, the Tensun clan is the most suitable candidate for reincarnation.

Not as [Sun Goddess Amaterasu], but as the miko [vessel] who descended as [Almighty God Amaterasu]. "

".........!"

Ibuki Douji's eyes widened.

She seemed to realize something and suddenly looked towards the crown of the Fantasy Tree.

There, there were two figures.
