Battle Against the Ancient Gods of Japan (Hachiman) Part 3

"Stay put, for now, I will call you if I ever need your help," Yuki ordered Inari to which she did as she was told and quietly stood to the side and watched how her master engaged in a fight with the next God.

"So which one of you is the next? One of your Gods is already down, hurry up my time is limited. If you don't move I will be forced to kill all of your right where you are standing. I'm sure you don't want that to happen right, I mean your pride will lose if you died at my hands in one attack right? A "True God" was killed by a mere Mortal and she was a Beast on top of that, that's a moment that you would never forget. So I'm doing you a favor, I will let all of you take a chance to fight with me one-on-one. Aren't I being nice?" Yuki said with a casual smile on her face, making the Gods tremble in anger.

"Kannon! You go and fight her, if you dare to lose, don't ever think of coming back to Takamagahara (Japan's High Heaven)." Izanagi commanded and even warned Kannon which made her shiver in fear. She was timid and scared of everyone other than Inari who she can communicate easily without being nervous/scared. Her mind is in a conflict, on the other hand, she doesn't want to fight Yuki because of Inari's safety, but she also doesn't want to be kicked out of her home. Yuki only took one glance at Inari before sighing, she can already tell that she was a weak-willed person.

Yuki's speculation is correct, being the Goddess of Mercy. Kannon naturally is pure and kind-hearted. She was one of the few Gods living in the Mortal Realm that is not corrupted or evil, but because of her timid personality, makes people treat her as a nobody despite being a Goddess. Even the Shinto Gods can casually order her around, leading her to be bullied. But she was saved by Inari making them friends, and she treats her more than a friend.

After thinking about it for a while, Kannon slowly begins to fly in front of Yuki. Her shiny golden hair sways around as she slowly approaches her, and her white dress flutters behind her, and her beauty was one of the tops in the Mortal Realm making people admire her beauty, but Yuki didn't show much reaction to her beauty. Currently, the top five beauties in the Mortal are, Lucifer 1st, Mary 2nd, Amaterasu 3rd, Jade Emperor 4th, and Kannon the 5th most beautiful figure in the Mortal Realm. Every man who takes a look at them would drool all over them, but these flowers were untouchable because they were also considered as one of the strongest Goddesses in the Mortal Realm.

"Kannon, I'm sure you don't want to do this. You have a kind heart, you would not want to harm me. So I have a proposition for you: if you join my side I can give you an Inari a happy life. I am even willing to release my Magic in Inari giving you a chance to be happy with her. I know that you love her not as a friend but as a woman. So what do you say, do you want to be under me?" Yuki questioned before Kannon could even talk with her. Hearing what Yuki proposes to her, Kannon was undoubtedly swayed by her words, that was her dream, her wish. To be with Inari for the rest of her life, at first, she only sees her as a dear friend, but as time passes and the more they interact with each other. Kanno found herself dreaming about Inari, but it was weird for her.

She would dream of her getting married to Inari, hugging them intimately, and even kissing. This dream of hers makes her extremely embarrassed when she wakes up that she didn't even dare to face Inari. She was confused by this thought, but when she thought about the time that they were together it became clear to her, she doesn't want Inari as a friend, but she wants to be her wife. But she was afraid to tell Inari this, she was afraid that their long friendship that lasted for a few thousand years would collapse when she confessed, so she never did. Inari remained oblivious to Kannon's feelings about her, she didn't even notice that she became more touchy with her and would always want to be together with her. She also noticed that Kannon's emotions would decrease when she was with another woman/man who became close to her.

"I-" Kannon hesitated for a moment, but when she set her eyes on Inari, she blushed for a second. Determination flares up inside her, she is not going to miss the chance of being together with the woman she has loved for more than 5,000 thousand years.

"I'm willing to be your subordinate if it means that I can get together with Inari," Kannon said in determination, but she couldn't hide the blush that was creeping on her face. When Yuki heard Kannon's answer, she smiled meaningfully. She didn't expect this kind of outcome, but she was not going to blindly refuse it; if she could get more Gods to her side, her army would only get stronger.

"Good choice, but I want to remind you something here Kannon. I will only lift my spell in Inari's mind, I will not do anything. You are still the one who will be the one to work hard to make Inari fall in love with you, and have some little pride in yourself. I know that you can make her fall in love with you." Yuki said which shocked Kannon, but when she further analyzed her words, she began to understand them. She also wouldn't want to force Inari to be with her, if that happens she would rather die. She wants to have a pure relationship with her, with pure love nothing more.

"Then, good luck." Yuki snaps her finger and in an instant the Charm that has poisoned Inari's mind. Once it was gone, Inari came back to herself, she was confused but her mind went clear when she saw Kannon in front of Yuki.

"Don't touch her! She is innocent!" Inari yelled out as she covered Kannon's body with her body, Kannon's head was buried in Inari's big breast causing her to blush deeply, and her breathing went heavy as she inhaled Inari's scent. But it only took her a few seconds to snap out of her trance. She then looked at Inari's blue eyes and stopped her from fighting with Yuki.

"Don't fight with her Inari. She is not going to hurt me, she just proposed something to me." Kannon said with a smile which eases Inari, but she soon found that there was something wrong with her words.

"Don't tell me that you accepted what she proposed to you, but more importantly what is that proposition?" Inari asked as she held Kannon by the shoulder and looked her straight in the eyes, but when she saw her looking away her heart sank.

"I accepted her offer, but please don't get mad at me. I can promise you though that it is nothing bad, in the future I will tell you. But only after I become your wife." Kannon said with clear guilt in her voice, but she didn't say her last sentence aloud and only muttered it in her mind.

"She has already told you, now both of you are under me. Go to the side, I will ask your help if I need it. This is boring now, give me someone better to fight. How about you Gorilla looking man, do you want to fight me?" Yuki looked at Hachiman who is the God of War. He has a large body with muscles all over making him look scary, veins bulge on his forehead when he hears how Yuki addresses him.

"A Gorilla!?" Hachiman roared out, he didn't even get Izanami's orders and dashed towards Yuki and raised a fist to punch her. But Yuki only blocked her arms by crossing them.

"Finally! I can fight someone strong!" Yuki said in excitement, when she just blocked Hachiman's fist, she felt her whole body shake because of its power. Her bones almost got pulverized but were only saved when she spread Mana all through her body. She then quickly grabbed Hachiman's fist and jumped up to knee him in the chin.
