A Misunderstood Mentor

Living alone in the mountains, the winter of the fifth year was approaching.

"It's funny, it's like the mountains are dead."

We must stockpile more food for the winter.

And yet, in the last few days, the prey hasn't been seen, not even the wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The atmosphere in the mountains was different from usual.

Is something bad happening?

As it is, you will starve to death in the winter.

"Ah, speaking of which..."

On a large rock in front of the cave, there is a rabbi lever that was serving.

It was always gone the next day, but even a week later, it was still there.

"...... is there something wrong with the Dog God?"

It was the beginning of a great incident that shook this mountain....

... it wasn't me.

I hurt my hips.

On the rock altar where the people of the city place their tributes, Inugami, Kara-sama, is lying down.

Garo-sama, who hadn't been seen for the past two years, was still a cute small dog with long torso and short legs, but only one thing had changed.

Gara-sama, are you getting a little fat?

”No, no, that's not true. Isn't that your imagination?"

While saying that, she turned away from her eyes.

Eyebrows like Maho are as cute as ever.

I thought there were times when the food was running low, but did you stutter, Gala-sama?

Baba, you idiot! I'm a god, I'm a stingy eater, and so on!...... I can't help but do it once in a while. "

Garo-sama admitted that it was light.

Could it be that you hurt your hips because you were fat?

"No, no, it's because a lot of factors overlapped. Well, maybe it's just a little fat.... yeah, just a little bit.”

Indeed, the torso-length body seems to hurt my hips more than a normal dog.

I feel like a bad dog breed if I'm too fat.

Is he really a god?

I no longer look like a mere dog.

Is it because of Gara-sama that the atmosphere of the mountain has changed recently?

"Hmm, even so, I am the guardian god of this mountain." If I'm not healthy, the mountains will be no good. "

Garo-sama's tail, speaking a bit proudly, was twitching.

"That's really embarrassing, so please get well now"

Oh no! I can't! This is a difficult disease called hernia (hernia). If you don't fix it slowly, you'll be in trouble! It's okay, by the end of winter it'll be healed!

Well then, I won't be able to make it!!

By the time Kara-sama was cured, I was dying of dryness.

Well then, shall we try the gods temporarily?

Huh?

I doubt your suggestion.

Is God going to make it that easy?

Well, I'm a surrogate. Give me your hand.

When I put my right hand out as I was told, Kara-sama put his hand there.

Poah, your right hand is glowing, something warm is flowing.

"Now you are the guardian god of this mountain." If you behave properly as a god, the mountain will be rejuvenated. "

"What? God, do you do something? Kara-sama, aren't you just eating and sleeping all the time?"

Blah, it's rude! I'm doing my best to fulfill the wishes of the city people who bring me tributes, patrolling the mountains to prevent monsters from entering, and so on.

I couldn't conceal my surprise that Kara-sama was a proper god.

Speaking of which, I heard that the dog god helped me when the city of Nat was attacked by a horde of monsters before I came here.

Eh, Gara-sama, I've reviewed it.

”Wahh. That's right. From now on, you can honor me even more.”

Happily, the tail moves violently.

"But, how can I be a god?" I'm not proud of it, but it didn't come in handy during my adventurer days. "

"I'm not really proud of it at all, but I think I can manage." There are many simple things for every request from the people of the city, and I will support you with a little help. "

"I see, there are many simple requests, then do your best..."

"Mmm, it looks like the people of the city are here." Hide, Taku God. "

On the stone altar came the people of the city with many tributes.

Unable to disappear like Kara-sama, I rushed to hide under the altar.

"Dog God"

And the people of the city that put the tribute upon the altar, put their hands together, and made a wish.

"A huge monster is approaching the city." Please protect me. "

Hmm? Didn't you hear that?

Didn't you just say giant monsters?

"Hey, Gara-sama, there are so many simple wishes... ahhh!"

It was super fast, and I escaped from it.

Your hips are totally fine, aren't they?

"Wait, God, I'll stop now, put it back!"

I couldn't! If you hear a wish, you can't help it until you fulfill it! Please do your best afterwards!

Gara-sama was invisible.

At the stone altar, the people of the city were still praying desperately.

As a result, I became a Taku God and protected the city from giant monsters.

Outside the city, a giant monster awaits.

Either way, if you're going to die in the winter, you're going to die fighting as a god.

That's what I thought.

You don't have to be so pessimistic. The god Taku now has the power of God. "

I could hear Kara-sama's voice, but I couldn't see her.

Looks like you're talking from a distance (telepathic).

Could it be that you could use some incredible power?

”No, I'm just being able to talk to monsters. Please persuade me to return."

It's an unreliable ability.

"Speaking of which, a hundred years ago, when this city was attacked by a horde of monsters, the Dog God saved it, didn't he?" How did you do that? "

I apologized so badly that I was forgiven. I'm sure Taku would have that talent. "

I don't need it, I don't need such talent.

Here it comes! Taku God. Be careful!]

Kara-sama roared.

A monster like a large white fur ball was running toward the city.

"Ahh, I can't, this. I'll be crushed before I talk to you."

Don't give up! Anyway, talk to me. "

"Nice, Nystoomy Chews"

For now, I talked to him, but the monster didn't stop.

On the contrary, the huge mouth is wide open.

At the very least, eat deliciously.

Yes, it was when I closed my eyes with a wish.

Daddy

The monster calls me Daddy.

Huh?

I knew it! It was me!

I looked carefully at the monster again.

It's about ten times the size, but I've seen this monster before. There's no doubt that this monster.....

"Babimo"

Daddy

It was not a touching reunion.

My waist twisted and twisted against the weight of Babimo, who jumped in vigorously.

For now, it's me, it's me.

No, I can't move, I can't stand it anymore

Babimo seemed to follow my smell all the way here, and said he wanted to live with me, but since I was doing my best to live alone, he managed to convince me to go home.

I didn't think Babimo was calling me "dad"......

Don't be afraid of the power to talk to monsters.

Well, the people of the city have brought me a lot of thanks, so I can get through the winter, Taku God

"I'm not a god anymore, so why don't you stop?" How to call it that. "

Perhaps because I fulfilled my wishes, the mountain was revitalized in front of winter, and Kara-sama's waist was healing smoothly.

When you pinch again, God do it.

“I categorically refuse.”

My hips weren't about to heal.
