Into The World of Kamisama Hajimemashita

And We Set Forth To Our New Daily Lives

~ʚĭɞ~

After I finished cooking, I decided to just carry breakfast to her bedroom when I heard a loud voice coming from her room.

"EEEEHHH?!"

Oh, she's finally awake. Too bad, I didn't saw an important scene.

I knocked on the door before sliding it open to see Nanami with her shocked facial expression and I guess that the two shrine spirits are kneeling before her.

I let out a slight laugh before entering her room, "Good morning Nanami. Have some breakfast first before doing your duties as a land deity~"

Nanami finished her breakfast hurriedly as the little spirits seem to make her feels pressured. I volunteered to help her in her duties which I knew is cleaning the whole temple.

"This is a deity's job??!", Nanami whined.

My mom didn't hire any maid despite our home being very spacious, so I didn't have a hard time cleaning the part of the temple I was assigned to since I'm accustomed to house chores. Except there are no simple electronic cleaning things, such as a vacuum cleaner to use, but at least I have someone to divide with the cleaning unlike at home.

I was cleaning the room that the spirits called worship hall  when I accidentally bumped on a table and a something accidentally fell on the floor. Luckily, my response was fast and I caught it with my hands. Looking closely, it is a circular mirror coated with metallic housing with beautiful carvings on it.

"Hmm..?"

It was a beautiful mirror but I also feel like something was enigmatic from it. I was about to stare at it when I heard Nanami passed by.

"After this, comes weeding", I heard Kotetsu talked behind Nanami.

"Oh, I'm going to help ", I called them as I put down gently the mirror on the table in the front of the worship hall.

" (っ=﹏=c) Uhm, excuse, but I've never said I'd be the Land deity" Nanami said.

"Wha-what are you saying!", the fire spirits cried. "There's no one besides you to protect this temple now that Tomoe-dono left. We, Onikiri and Kotetsu are just the shrine's spirits who have served this temple for so many years. And we shall serve you too Nanami-sama! Order us anything you like!"

"..but you don't clean..", Nanami uttered under her breath. I'm behind Nanami that's why I heard it but I doubt the spirits understood it.

" (ᵔ꒳ᵔ ٥) ...and it feel like we're just being taken advantage of .. right?" I whispered to her with a slight laugh.

She just sighed deeply agreeing to what I just said. Well, because it's just what she's thinking right now.

"But if this is just a small return for them letting us stay here and for the foods, it's just fine right?", I consoled her as I slightly pat her shoulder.

She smiled at me and agreed, "Yeah, I can do it"

"Wondering...", Nanami looked at the two spirits. "Who is Tomoe, anyway?"

"He is a familiar that served Mikage-sama", Onikiri replied first.

"Originally, he was a wild fox demon, but Mikage-sama took him in here as a substitute for stone guardians lion-dogs", Kotetsu explained to us.

Though I already knew about it.

"..since Mikage-sama hates dog", added by Onikiri.

"Oh, I know that part (￣▽￣) ", Nanami muttered.
