However, as the "Sub-god Era" arrives, the flow of faith seems to undergo a subtle shift.
Yatsukami God, an older deity that governs the source of "wisdom," has seen a rise in incense offerings, bustling right before exams at Shinken Shrines everywhere.
Hidaka Mirai isn't sure why this shift in faith occurs.
Could it be that with the mythologies unveiled, people instinctively choose to believe in the older, more "fundamental" deities in the lineage?
This seems to belong to the special cultural-sociological topic under the backdrop of the "Sub-god Era"...
However, there's one thing Mirai knows for sure, since the world has confirmed the existence of demons, ghosts, and gods, visiting a shrine to offer prayers is no longer merely a symbolic act seeking psychological comfort.
But... will the lofty Deities respond to the wishes of mortals?
Mirai can't say.
The possibility might exist, but realistically speaking, it's probably very unlikely, right?
