Amaterasu-no-Mikoto

"Oro-chan~!"

Shin could see a person ran toward where he was while waving their hand from a distance. The person, or rather, the god, was a fair person with an androgynous look in the late 20s. He was Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the god of Moon, the brother of Susanoo and Amaterasu.

His face could not be described by gender standards. He was too beautiful to be a man and too handsome to be a woman. He had gorgeous black long hair styled as a ponytail. He wore a purple sleeveless haori with a white kimono under.

Tsukuyomi was an easy-going god, so he was very popular among gods in Japan's Parthenon. But there was a rumor about him being swing both ways. That was why Shin kept his distance from the god. It was not to the point of hate, but still, he avoided being alone with Tsukuyomi in the same room.

"Yo, Tsukuyomi." Greeted Shin while waving his hand. After several seconds of seeing that Tsukuyomi not giving a sign to made a stop, he stopped his hand and quickly cast a barrier.

The sudden appearance of the barrier made Tsukuyomi faceplanted his face onto the barrier. He rubbed his face and then complained to Shin, "How cold are you, Oro-chan~. It's been a while since we met. Why not give me a little hug?"

"No hug! How many times do I have to tell you?!" Retorted Shin.

"Hahaha,... Anyways, did my rough brother gave you a problem again?" Asked Tsukuyomi.

"How rude! What do you think I am?!" Retorted Susanoo. He already felt the headache to deal with Shin, and then he needed to deal with his annoying brother too.

"Well, he did annoy me. I am still mad at his bullsh*t about slaying me. Maybe I really need to punish him a little bit?" Wondered Shin seriously. He can alleviate some of his frustration to Susanoo, even though he did not really think much of the false story.

"*shiver* ... hahaha, aniki, you are joking, right?" Asked Susanoo while chuckling.

"..."

"... you are joking, right?" Asked Susanoo again nervously.

"..."

"... ha...haha...ha..ha. T..tsu..kuyomi, aniki I need to go somewhere else,.. p..please don't mind me!" Said Susanoo while stuttering. Then he fled from the scene with the speed of light.

Shin and Tsukuyomi looked at fleeing Susanoo with flat faces. After they could not see him again, both of them looked at each other and broke into laughter.

After laughing for a whole minute, Shin then asked Tsukuyomi to lead him to Amaterasu. Shin and Tsukuyomi then walked inside the palace while chatting to catch up with each other. Of course, while doing so, Shin kept an appropriate distance.

After a while, they finally saw the sun goddess, Amaterasu-no-Mikoto. Different from the other Parthenon, Takamagahara did not have a throne where the leading god sat. There was no chief god in the first place. But Amaterasu still dealt with most of the leadership matters because of her unreliable brothers. Tsukuyomi was too easy-going and laid back. He spent most of his time watching the moon and lazing around. While Susanoo was a troublemaker not suited to lead the gods.

Inside the enormous palace, an expansive grass field with a colossal sakura tree in the middle. Under the tree laid tatami mats and a low table in the center. Sitting gracefully in that place was the sun goddess, Amaterasu. She was an exquisite lady with a perfected body. While she was wearing a Jūnihitoe or a twelve-layered kimono, she still excluded a mature and sexy aura.

She noticed the appearance of two people. After realizing who had come, she smiled widely. She then asked while also teasing Shin. "Ara~ ... look who decided to come? Orochi, or should I called you Yamato?"

"Yo, Ama-san, ... ah you can call me Shin this time." Replied Shin as he sat on the tatami mats.

"Shin~, what a good name~ ufufu." Amaterasu chuckling at his reply and then looked carefully at his current looks. "I must say, even though I really like your mature looks, this one is quite charming~."

"Stop it. You make me blush, Ama-san." Said Shin jokingly. He then looked at Amaterasu with warm eyes and said, "You are the beautiful one here."

"Ara-ara~... you still have that glib tongue of yours. Not only you are strong, but you are also a charming man. What about my proposal from a while ago? You could stay here and rule Takamagahara and become my husband."

"Why are you asking me again if you already know the answer." Said Shin, unexpectedly serious. The cheerful atmosphere suddenly turned serious at the question. Tsukuyomi knew in what direction this conversation would go and just shaking his head.

"Are you still cannot move on from your previous wife?" Amaterasu asked with concern on her face. She did not joke about asking Shin to marry her. Who did not want to marry the Immortal? He was the second most powerful being in the universe after The Biblical God.

Rare sorrowful looks could be seen on Shin's face. Even the outgoing Tsukuyomi could not help to show concern for the Immortal. The three of them became silent, and only the sound of wind rustling on the sakura tree could be heard. After a moment of quiet, Shin then changed his look again to his usual mischievous face.

"We got sidetracked a Lil bit there, hahaha." Said Shin cheerfully like nothing had happened seconds ago. "Ama-san, I need a favor from you."

"Ara~... what possibly I can help you for?"

"Could you speak to your mom?" Said Shin seriously this time.

The sharp looks on his face almost made Amaterasu blush. But she kept smiling and then asked Shin, "Do you still have a bad relationship with Haha-ue~?"

"You know that I am a wanted man in every Underworld!" Retorted Shin. He then thinking how many headaches he would get if he went to any Underworld. Every individual inside every Underworld would recognize him in a glaze. They even teach his spiritual signature to every new recruit of Underworld.

"Hahaha... as expected of Oro-chan. You also wreak havoc several times in multiple Underworld. Not wrong for Haha-ue for hating you." Said Tsukuyomi while laughing out loud.

"Izanami, King Yama, Hades, Anubis, every one of them can't deal with jokes. Seriously why is every king of the Underworld are a stiff person? At least Satan is a fun guy to hang with." Complained Shin.

"So, why do you need Ane-ue to speak with Haha-ue?" Asked Tsukuyomi. It was rare for Shin to act proactively toward Underworld. The last time he did, it did not end very well for both sides. Tsukuyomi suddenly had a bad premonition about the issue of Shin favor.

"An acquaintance of mine is asking permission for his son to be resurrected as an android of some kind."

Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi's eyes suddenly became sharp at the matter discussed. Cheating death is a very severe crime. Heaven would not tolerate such a crime even though the one asking was Shin.

"I know it ridiculous as to how it sounds. But he needs to be alive as an android. Japan is at stake. You guys, as Japan gods, can't possibly let it destroyed, right?" Argued Shin.

"Maa~, You know how to trouble this lady." Amaterasu sighed at Shin's words. But if she looked at how future Japan would be destroyed, she knew she would be saddened. She also knew that Shin never joking over these matters. So after thinking about it again, she agreed to help Shin. "Ok, I will help you this time. Just you know that you own me a big time~."

AT AMANOGAWA HIGHSCHOOL

Zodiart Switches, made from Cosmic Energy, are designed to force-evolve the user, the Switcher, into a being that can survive the void of space. The result of the transformation is a Zodiarts, a monstrous construct of Cosmic Energy.

After being defeated by Gentarou on his Fourze form, Orion Zodiart was turned into a human. Their Astro Switch detached from their body. Just as this happened, Shin finished his business at Takamagahara and noticed this event. He teleported near the scene and observed the situation.

Orion's Switcher was still unconscious as a new figure came. This individual donned a black robe over their white body. Shin noticed that the newcomer was not a human but another Zodiart. This new Zodiart had more energy and was more powerful than Orion. The white Zodiart then picked up the Switch.

"Hoho, interesting," Said Shin with a chuckle. With a glance, he could know the human identity of Zodiart. He did not expect the Switcher of the white Zodiart would be this interesting. After seeing the white Zodiart leaving, Shin came out from hiding and approached the Orian Switcher. "It would be not entertaining if your identity exposed this early. So I will help you this time."

Shin picked up Orion's human host and then teleported out from the place.
