21st Century Necromancer

"Honestly! I just went back to Kyoto for a short while, and you, Matchmaking God, managed to stir up so much trouble!" Suzuhime stood in the luxurious reception room of the Metropolitan Police Department specially designed for dealing with the Matchmaking God, looking at him with great dissatisfaction.

She had already heard all about the troubles caused by Matchmaking God on her way back.

"I just ate a little of the delicious food they offered and gave them a little reward, that's not such a big deal, right?" Matchmaking God whispered defensively, somewhat afraid of Suzuhime's reaction.

This was not because Suzuhime could threaten a deity, but rather it was the fear of a younger sister worried about being found out by an older sister after doing something bad.

"We're no longer in the age of the gods, your actions can cause a disturbance! Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused in Tokyo with your behavior?" Suzuhime cursed herself for her negligence, forgetting that the last time Matchmaking God went out alone was during the Edo Period, which resulted in a great difference between his behavior and modern society.

If it were during the age of the gods, then revealing oneself in front of people and telling them you're a deity wouldn't have been an issue.

Even in the Edo Period, there were still rumors of encountering deities or Yokai. At that time, the actions of Matchmaking God wouldn't have been considered out of line, at most he might be treated as an imposter or a genuine deity coming to Earth.

But in modern society... Not to mention whether the era of scientific enlightenment still believes in the descent of deities, just the speed of information dissemination in modern society is enough to cause chaos.

Not to mention other things, Suzuhime had heard about the disturbances created by Matchmaking God in Tokyo by the time she returned to Kyoto, which was one of the reasons she came back to Tokyo so quickly.

"Don't let the Matchmaking God cause any trouble."

Remembering the words entrusted to her by the Inari God, Suzuhime felt a headache coming on, the trouble was already caused!

However, after so many years of dealing with various affairs for the Inari God, Suzuhime had grown accustomed to handling troubles and said to Matchmaking God, "There's no point in talking about what's already happened, but the mess you've created must stop here! Just dealing with people wanting to break the boundary between life and death is headache enough, I don't want to have to clean up after your mess as well, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand! But what should I do if I still want to eat something delicious?" Matchmaking God looked at Suzuhime with a pitiable face, pleading, "The food these human chefs make is really good! Who knew that in just a little over a hundred years, human culinary arts would advance so rapidly!"

"Bear with it! At a time like this, you're still thinking about eating!" Suzuhime retorted irritably, but seeing Matchmaking God's pitiful expression, she switched her tone, "It's not that you can't have delicious food, but you need to see what the situation is now! Is this the time for you to be pursuing the pleasures of the palate?"

However, when Suzuhime said this, the Matchmaking God muttered in a grievance-laden, soft voice, "But isn't it the case that nothing has happened so far!"

"If something happens, it'll be a big deal! And it was you who said they had already made a connection, and that you would keep an eye on them here. Is this how you've been watching them?" When Suzuhime thought about how she had rushed back to Kyoto in fear and anxiety to report to the Inari God, while the Matchmaking God in Kyoto was enjoying a variety of delicacies meticulously prepared by a top chef, she could feel a surge of anger rising within her.

Seeing this, Yamada Nobuyosuke hurriedly intercepted Suzuhime and tried to pacify her, "Miss Suzuhime, please don't be angry. Actually, we have already had the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Intelligence Agency dispatch specialized action teams to monitor the targets 24/7. Every action of theirs, even what they say to whom, is fully recorded. There's really no need for Lord Matchmaking God to watch over them every moment."

"Even if she doesn't need to watch over them all the time, she shouldn't have caused so much trouble! Now probably the whole Tokyo knows that there are deities appearing at the Metropolitan Police Department." Suzuhime still felt very angry upon hearing Yamada Nobuyosuke's persuasion.

Suzuhime was not angry because the Matchmaking God was neglecting her duties; she understood that the Matchmaking God did not need to watch over the situation all the time. However, it was the Matchmaking God herself who suggested monitoring the situation in Tokyo, and now, without doing any proper work, she was stirring up trouble all over Tokyo. This certainly caused Suzuhime, who had been left alone in Tokyo because of the Matchmaking God's words, to feel very indignant.

"Regarding that, please rest assured, Miss Suzuhime. Although there are some bad rumors circulating in Tokyo, they only consist of people knowing that someone high up at the Metropolitan Police Department has a penchant for gourmet food, not about Lord Matchmaking God being here," Yamada Nobuyosuke of course did not wish for Suzuhime to continue being angry here.

Moreover, as one of the Legendary Warriors from the Strategy Division, he was also hoping to get some cuisine made from special ingredients from the Matchmaking God to nurse his own body, which also had many underlying injuries—how could he allow Suzuhime to interrupt this matter just like that!

Thinking this way, Yamada Nobuyosuke spoke to Suzuhime in a negotiating tone, "Miss Suzuhime, what do you think of this proposal? We, the Metropolitan Police Department, won't make a big fuss about gathering chefs from Tokyo anymore, but will just notify those famous chefs to come, and also limit the number to one to three people per day. This way we won't attract unnecessary trouble."

"That works! That'll do!" the Matchmaking God immediately agreed, with both hands, upon hearing this, knowing that she could still continue to enjoy delicious food.

Hearing what Yamada Nobuyosuke had said, Suzuhime didn't have much else to say and tacitly accepted his proposal, then redirected the conversation back to the matter concerning Inomata Naoki and Minami.

"Regarding the surveillance of those two individuals, Mr. Yamada, could you inform me of the current situation?" Suzuhime, having readjusted her mood, inquired of Yamada Nobuyosuke while also emphasizing, "The Lord Inari from Kyoto is very concerned about this matter and will soon be coming to the Inari Shrine in Tokyo. Before Lord Inari's arrival, I would like to be updated on the situation."

"Lord Inari?! The Inari God is coming to Tokyo for this matter?" Yamada Nobuyosuke was taken aback. The Inari God was not an inconspicuous deity like the Matchmaking God; as a revered deity in Shintoism, second only to the Three Precious Children, the Inari God's personal visit to Tokyo was far from a trivial matter.

The Matchmaking God beside was also very surprised and looked anxiously at Suzuhime—she was quite fearful of the Inari God.

However, Suzuhime solemnly nodded and said, "The seriousness of breaking the boundaries between life and death is worse than you imagine. Even Lord Inari is placing great importance on it, so the Lord will come personally to Tokyo, in the hope of averting any disaster before it occurs."
