5 Chapter 5

Once the situation sunk in that my reputation outside of my barrier was likely to be tarnished a good bit by any people who actually care for Aya's paper and boy I imagine she like any tengu had a bone to pick with me so I had no doubt that she was going to write all the nonsense she could to stir up trouble for me.

I could only shrug as, so long as my goal of gathering more worshippers was met I didn't give a damn about what she said.

Although I would need to find out if I can receive worship from Yokai and more powerful beings as I can already feel the connection of faith between me and Hiro becoming much stronger and him returning much more power back to me as he was already cutting down the more monstrous and simple-minded Yokai that challenged him in the forest and with the axe taking some of the power of the Yokai's bad karma, he was growing stronger in turn.

"Ok, that little Miko is getting a little irritating," I grumbled as for tenth something time Reimu was trying to make barriers to isolate my own barrier to allow herself entry, and although I was having a bit of amusement directing people to interfere with her delicate work and watch her explode in fury when her constructs failed. The joke was starting to get a bit stale, and I have plans to make a series of homes for humans and such.

She was basically being the mental equivalent of a fly buzzing in your ear as you try to play Minecraft in creative mode in hopes of making a masterpiece. And I didn't want pieces of my mountain to collapse when I am building.

This time when I teleported in front of Reimu it wasn't just a loud pop of air being displaced no it was a cannon being shot in front of you and the shock of the noise once again made Reimu's sandcastle of barrier collapse into little motes of mana.

"Get off my lawn please, thank you kindly!" I said cheerily as I watched her face turn purple in fury and for a second, I literally thought she was having a Heart Attack or a Stroke as she started twitching and breathing heavily.

But it wasn't long before Mount Reimu's blank eyes focused on me and without any warning she raised up her hand a huge ball looking like a Yin and Yang symbol formed like a Rasengan. "Die you Yokai!" She screamed and then slammed the totally not Rasengan into the barrier and just like in Naruto with me not being a mook, it was worthless as it attempted to grind through my barrier with no effect.

I made a simpler version of my throne to sit pop up out of the ground in front of my barrier like someone on their front porch would watch idiots playing in the streets, just waiting for one of the idiots to get run over by a car or otherwise get hurt.

Finally, after a full minute of grinding that ball of magic into my barrier and Reimu being able to see me I folded the newspaper I teleported and didn't even bother to read behind me as though I was just noticing she was still there. "Ah the Hakurei shrine maiden is still here, how may I help you?" I asked still wearing that same casual smile.

Reimu twitched again and looked about ready to try to strangle me with her bare hands even if she had to break the barrier with her own bare hands, but she wasn't stupid, having known and almost certainly talked to the people who were trying to get into my barrier as well and knew blunt force was equally worthless.

"Why have you blocked off Yokai Mountain." She growled out and as much as I wanted to pat her head for working so hard... Yeah no she was busy getting drunk after the attack last night. No I just shrugged.

"Actually, the name of this mountain is now Moria Mountain, and I am the god Moria, I wanted to throw away the monster's hiding upon my body and seal it up while I finished building a more modern city upon it with actual plumbing for humans to live upon and not have to worry about being stolen in the middle of the night." I explained.

Reimu didnt seem to like my answer as she yelled. "So, you are the damn reason all those Yokai attacked the human village last night! Do you know how hard I had to work to clean up and exterminate all of them!"

At that I lost my easy going smile and I could see Reimu straighten up as she felt my displeasure being aimed at her. "No I am only responsible for pushing them out of their natural habitats and the more bestial Yokai in their rage took it out on the basically undefended human village." Before she could retort about how it was actually defended, I cut her off. "No Reimu Hakurei that village isn't defended in the slightest simply by having a couple decent fighters within it." I then pointed at her. "You are a master of using talismans to establish wards and doing countless other things, but I have to wonder why is it that the Human village as the one place supposedly safe from the predations of Yokai, there was no barrier for the Yokai to break."

I saw her face go white as I leaned back nonchalantly. "No... Those humans are simply cattle to feed the Yokai here within Gensokyo whether its fear or physically like the blood or flesh that the vampires in the Scarlet Devil Mansion consume. You are just here to make sure they don't overindulge..." You can dress it up however you want Reimu was merely the keeper of one of the lynchpins holding Gensokyo together by watching over the Hakurei Shrine which had a mirror of itself back on normal earth. Thus, if needed she could be replaced with a new shrine maiden as far as I was concerned.

"I am not like those Moriya goddesses who will do stupid little shit tests like having their worshippers make dangerous pilgrimage's up and down the mountain and through the fucking Yokai Forest. No when they are here upon my bountiful mountain although they will have to work for their food and shelter, I will provide them complete safety from any who dares to think my people are food." I told the distraught Miko solemnly.

"You can't protect them forever!" She yelled out and I could tell she was shaken at my disdain for her actions in protecting the human village.

"If the Hakurei Shrine maiden after a more than couple days can't break into my barrier not to mention I have blocked off all the attempts of Yukari Yakumo from simply opening a gap into here. what makes you think the far less capable Yokai and other beings will be able to get within?" I asked rhetorically. She had no answer, and I was already done with this conversation honestly.

"Lastly I have a champion already going to retrieve the human children that were stolen by some of the Yokai and will then be brought here to safety as with Keine and the other women who fought to protect the humans are still injured and even after the attack you just mopped up the last Yokai and didnt place barriers around to defend the village." Feeling like I was getting into nagging territory, I left behind one more sentence. "Please tell the leaders of the village that the people taken from the Yokai will be housed upon my mountain and will safe." I then teleported back to my throne room with a soft pop and then sat down in my throne contemplating that conversation.

I suddenly grinned as I knew that after Reimu tells of a divinely impowered man was running around killing Yokai, saving children, and more importantly had a place of refuge safe from the deprivations of further incursions, I knew that as soon as I brought whatever representative they sent over here and had them stay a few days in the houses I would build with modern amenities with toilets, showers, and the holy duo of heating and air conditioning. The humans living within the Human Village would for the most part want to live within my much safer environment, though there may be outliers who may want to stay in their old ways.

"But those people will be left behind as the majority will almost certainly move here..." I muttered and now with Reimu not trying to poke holes into my barrier I could now focus on trying to build a set of houses to go around my mountain.

"Heh Human Village... More like Human Pen." I thought and then snorted as I felt another one of Yukari's little gaps trying to open within my barrier, it was like a splinter suddenly opening on your skin, but I was getting used to the feeling and was getting faster at pinching them shut and even throwing rocks and bird shit through gaps in retaliation.
