Takamagahara.
In the grand hall of the Dwelling of the Gods, dense yellow-green phosphorescence fluttered around the vermillion torii gates, complementing the elegant and majestic hall and adding a transcendent and sacred atmosphere. The signs of damage on the hall's structure did not make it look desolate, but rather emphasized a sense of profound ancientness.
Kamiyagawa had not yet finished his work for the evening.
Having obtained the battle trophies, as per the usual process, he was supposed to take them to Takamagahara to have them examined by his sister, the craftsman, and to listen to the assessment of a professional.
Upon arriving at the Dwelling of the Gods, he did not see Kaku at the smithy; instead, at the candle shop, he could see the Candle-making Monk quietly and earnestly hand-rolling candles.
In recent days, Kamiyagawa had placed a large order for Soul-calming Candles, and the little green-skinned monk was still working overtime to finish the job.
