"Honestly! I just went back to Kyoto for a short while, and you, Matchmaking God, managed to stir up so much trouble!" Suzuhi stood in the luxurious reception room of the tropolitan Police Departnt 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, sowhat afraid of Suzuhi's reaction.
This was not because Suzuhi 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 sothing 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?" Suzuhi cursed herself for her negligence, forgetting that the last ti 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 ti, 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 ntion whether the era of scientific enlightennt still believes in the descent of deities, just the speed of information dissemination in modern society is enough to cause chaos.
Not to ntion other things, Suzuhi had heard about the disturbances created by Matchmaking God in Tokyo by the ti she returned to Kyoto, which was one of the reasons she ca back to Tokyo so quickly.
"Don't let the Matchmaking God cause any trouble."
Rembering the words entrusted to her by the Inari God, Suzuhi felt a headache coming on, the trouble was already caused!
However, after so many years of dealing with various affairs for the Inari God, Suzuhi had grown accustod to handling troubles and said to Matchmaking God, "There's no point in talking about what's already happened, but the ss 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 ss as well, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand! But what should I do if I still want to eat sothing delicious?" Matchmaking God looked at Suzuhi 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 ti like this, you're still thinking about eating!" Suzuhi 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 ti for you to be pursuing the pleasures of the palate?"

However, when Suzuhi 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 sothing 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 Suzuhi 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 ticulously prepared by a top chef, she could feel a surge of anger rising within her.
Seeing this, Yamada Nobuyosuke hurriedly intercepted Suzuhi and tried to pacify her, "Miss Suzuhi, please don't be angry. Actually, we have already had the tropolitan Police Departnt 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 mont."
"Even if she doesn't need to watch over them all the ti, she shouldn't have caused so much trouble! Now probably the whole Tokyo knows that there are deities appearing at the tropolitan Police Departnt." Suzuhi still felt very angry upon hearing Yamada Nobuyosuke's persuasion.
Suzuhi 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 ti. 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 Suzuhi, who had been left alone in Tokyo because of the Matchmaking God's words, to feel very indignant.
"Regarding that, please rest assured, Miss Suzuhi. Although there are so bad rumors circulating in Tokyo, they only consist of people knowing that soone high up at the tropolitan Police Departnt has a penchant for gourt food, not about Lord Matchmaking God being here," Yamada Nobuyosuke of course did not wish for Suzuhi to continue being angry here.
Moreover, as one of the Legendary Warriors from the Strategy Division, he was also hoping to get so cuisine made from special ingredients from the Matchmaking God to nurse his own body, which also had many underlying injuries—how could he allow Suzuhi to interrupt this matter just like that!
Thinking this way, Yamada Nobuyosuke spoke to Suzuhi in a negotiating tone, "Miss Suzuhi, what do you think of this proposal? We, the tropolitan Police Departnt, won't make a big fuss about gathering chefs from Tokyo anymore, but will just notify those famous chefs to co, 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 imdiately agreed, with both hands, upon hearing this, knowing that she could still continue to enjoy delicious food.
Hearing what Yamada Nobuyosuke had said, Suzuhi 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 of the current situation?" Suzuhi, 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 Suzuhi—she was quite fearful of the Inari God.
However, Suzuhi 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 co personally to Tokyo, in the hope of averting any disaster before it occurs."
