"Kirara, people don't lie down on the dining table."
At this moment, Miyuki had already completely turned into Kirara's cat-shovel officer due to having too much free time.
This couldn't be helped.
After all, the god she was supposed to serve didn't need serving at all.
Go clean? The god lives in the Kamisato house, and the Kamisato house has people for that kind of work.
Perform rituals? ...That job was snatched by little Sara.
And yet, being a professional shrine maiden also meant having no holidays.
Miyuki really never imagined that her job of serving a god would turn out to be doing nothing...
Being very busy is naturally not a good thing, but having absolutely nothing to do and no entertainment activities...
And since she was, after all, the shrine maiden of Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, she couldn't just wander around outside—that would be dereliction of duty...
"Da Chu rises, Chen Sheng becomes king."
Cat Kirara very humanely nodded.
Human rules are very strange, but as an excellent fox, she could still grasp this much.
"Miyuki, I have a mission here that I need you to handle. The task is very difficult. Listen first—if it's not possible, then forget it."
Miyuki instantly became excited.
It was Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's voice!
Work's here! Work's here!
Although teaching cat Kirara how to survive in human society was also pretty good.
But as a god's shrine maiden, how could she not have some ambition to do great things?
Miyuki gently patted the dust off herself and asked Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou in a slightly refined manner:
"Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, please give your orders. Your shrine maiden will do anything for you."
...
Promoting ethnic integration, maintaining social stability, helping to raise the people's happiness index...
Miyuki looked at the paper and pen on the table and was still somewhat stunned...
No, so many high-sounding terms—how did they connect to writing a novel?
"Go for it. These are materials on Torachiyo. I don't have many requirements, but you must write Torachiyo's girlish side well—also write her decisive and ruthless side. The battles must be portrayed beautifully.
It doesn't have to be third-person perspective. The focus must be on Torachiyo's emotions as a girl... She can go onto the battlefield to kill enemies, and come back to act cute and spoiled...
This way, readers can feel Torachiyo's charm, even happily call her 'waifu.' Only when you deliver the knife at the end can Torachiyo's character become full and rounded, becoming the white moonlight of the oni clan in the eyes of Inazuma's people..."
Miyuki felt a headache coming on.
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou had many requirements, and this task was also very heavy...
Mainly because novels...
Although she had read a lot following Guuji-sama, and had indeed been egged on by Guuji-sama to write a little...
But... but...
"How would readers buy into this kind of plot?! Write it with more spice!"
Thinking back to when she was young and naive, being directed by Lady Miko to write those borderline things...
No... the unbearable dark history is starting to attack my brain...
Miyuki slightly painfully clutched her head.
"It seems my requirements might be a bit too much..."
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou thought he was pushing this child Miyuki too hard.
Mainly because Miyuki was really a very suitable candidate. As the shrine maiden frequently taken care of by Yae Publishing House's chief editor Yae Miko, she definitely had an understanding of novels. And as a shrine maiden, she was proficient in Inazuma's history and youkai knowledge...
Usually he also felt that Miyuki only playing with cat Kirara was indeed a bit boring...
Hm, perhaps compared to work, constantly playing with cat Kirara isn't boring?
At least if I had to choose now, I'd rather lie on the ground and play with cat Kirara.
"No, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, I accept this mission."
Miyuki looked seriously at Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou.
I've already been bored enough here. It was so hard for you, Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, to finally give me something to do! How could I let you take it back?
And writing novels...
Although the dark history is indeed scary, I'm not uninterested in writing novels. I just didn't have a proper reason and didn't know what to write about.
