I'm sorry you didn't get to meet her before that happened. She... she left behind a picture for me. I guess that means she might have known it was coming.
...
I don't know what happens to shinki that disappear from The Far Shore, and it hurts to think about it. I kinda don't wanna be alone right now. We don't need to talk about it, but... I'd appreciate it if you could come over and just. Hang out for a bit.
Senpai, I have some important information for you from my shinki, Ginia.
You may remember I mentioned a cult that's been causing trouble. I now have more concrete information that puts us in a serious spot. Ginia knew more than I did, and she's done some things that'd be pretty serious if heaven knew about them.
First of all, the cult wants to overthrow the heavens, and place their own gods in positions of power in their place. Their leader is a man named Imai Takeru, and they want gods that will specifically "fulfill their wishes. They have two gods under their control named Votelli, a forest god, and Sotero, a volcano god.
Sotero was the one who caused the damage in the western district.
But here's where it gets complicated. A few months back, there were gods and shinki who were kidnapped by the cult, and people were sent to investigate. Ginia met Votelli there, and... senpai, she's just a kid. They both are. They look like they can't be older than twelve. Ginia doesn't know where they came from but they're clearly being used by these bastards.
Ginia ended up setting up a shrine for her in the Near Shore under a different name. She's only fought Sotero in the past, but she's pretty confident the same circumstances apply to them.
If the top gods found out about this, it's pretty certain they'd execute her for it, on top of her having more than one God. I think this is pretty bullshit, even if I am annoyed I'm only finding out like this. But not only is the world in danger, so are two innocent kids - and on top of that, the gods in charge think they're the bigger threat than the cult. There was a meeting last night where Amaterasu declared they needed to be brought in, alive or dead, in fact.
Ginia has my support and she told me everything knowing I could easily release her and take this to a higher power. I also let her know I had absolutely no interest in hiding any of this from you or your shinki.
I'm sorry this is something you're having to find out so soon after being here. This is pretty dangerous. But... we're used to that, aren't we? Ginia also gave me addresses for some of the top members... they're all people that even heaven needs to be observed, but one of them, Ota Saburo, has a wife and two kids that need to be watched out for. I can send you all the pertinent information if you want.
[Of course, things couldn't be as simple as they seemed on the surface, could they?]
...understood, Yukine. Thank you for telling me all of this.
Still, I would urge that you need to proceed with caution. Tying so close to this when neither of us has even been around here a month, it could be possible to blindly rush into even greater trouble without even realizing it.
Yeah, I know. Regardless of all the unknown factors, if we make a single misstep the heavens are gonna take punishment out on anyone associated with it.
Yes, and you have only just learned about any of this, from limited exposure to this place, and the people around you.
I am not saying don't trust what you have heard, or been told, or to not trust the people saying it.
But it is wise to be wary all the same, to a degree, when all of this is information being dropped in front of you all at once.
If there is one thing I have learned from S.O.N.G., or Division 2 before it, or anything related, it is that you can never let that guard down. Not completely.
I'm not, senpai. There's still a chance that Ginia is being tricked, or lied to. And I definitely think there's a lot of unknown factors, or even stuff the heavens aren't telling people. I'm going to be wary of all of that.
But I also got a sense of how she was feeling during that meeting. None of it made sense until she messaged me, but I still got a sense of her conviction.
I want to protect her, if nothing else. That may mean standing up to her on occasion or telling her she's wrong, I don't know yet. A god is responsible for their shinki, even if it means taking a stance they might not agree with.
[Tsubasa is now a part of the Temple Ebisu workforce, even if she's not a part of the temple itself... being a god of her own, and all. Still, it's only been professional to make an office email for her and also make sure that alternative methods of contact are written down. So it's pretty easy to send her a message.]
From: Aomi To: Kazanari Tsubasa Takehaya Susanoo-no-Mikoto
I hope you have been well considering the tumultuous events which have taken place over the last few weeks. In the near future, I am to go on a one-day trip to Kanagawa with the young master Ebisu and have thought to invite those who have newly become employed within our temple. If you are too busy, please feel free to disregard this message. I hope you stay safe and healthy.
Which makes Hibiki asking me to perform with her group all the more ridiculous then, right?
[Because if there's one pretty known fact about her, it's that she's mute. And she knows Hibiki doesn't mean it as a cruel joke in any form, and there has to be some logic to her offer, but Ginia can't see it.
But she didn't turn Hibiki down right away. At the heart of things, is she interested? Yes.]
It'd be fun. I acted in Hibiki's movie and it was a lot of fun. So it'd be fun to be on stage with her too.
