Turtles? I'm not entirely sold on what was described when I got here by the people at the Dreaming Bridge, although there are turtle gods back in Japan. Gen-bu, Oto-hime, Mino-game... so it's not unheard of.

But what I can't figure out is, where are all the shrines around here? You've got tons of different peoples all living in the same place, but no one thought to set up proper shrines??

[ And then he flashes the camera a grin, because he's got just the solution! ]

What you all need is a new god to take care of those prayers of yours that have probably been going unanswered!

So here I am: the Yato God at your service! 24/7 wish-granting, fast, reliable and affordable!

But cults are fun, they get a lot more publicity. And we can do all sorts of cult meetings!

Trust me, there's a difference.

[ If she wasn’t so busy, she’d go ahead and start a cult anyway. But! Priorities.

She laughs at the ’trust me’ bit. ] You’ve yet to make a believer out of me, but I don’t really know any other gods personally, so I guess I just have to take your word for it.

That said, turns out I do have a wish!

[ Yato's quietly relieved that she doesn't press that topic, because that would lead into some interesting if not pleasant explanations. But he perks right up when she says she had a wish. ]

Yes! My first customer-- I'm all ears!

Well, as you probably already know - since you are a god - you have inspired my poor mortal soul to pursue great things.

Which brings us to my next conquest: to be the queen of Xa Xa!

But I need to take my pictures to the next level. Think you can help out your buddy?

[ She sends him this photo, grinning from ear to ear. She’s clearly drawn inspiration from somewhere. ]

[ Honestly Yato could really get used to this kind of flattery!! ]

Of course! But there's still no such thing as a free wish.

[ Ilda may still not believe your godly side, Yato, but she does believe in you as a friend. Also, she's rather fond of you. And needs a friend to help with her life goals. ]

So you do want my firstborn child after all! Or did you want someone else's?

No! [ he's laughing, though ] What is it with you and firstborns? I'm starting to think your goddess has some real issues...

My Aifaran rates are: 1 copper rhinn per wish! Easy, right?

[ She’s laughing with him. ] I thought that was a thing everywhere! They definitely make a big deal out of it back home. Especially if the firstborn child is a girl.

Just one copper rhinn? Regardless of the complexity of the wish? [ She frowns. That doesn’t seem like a profitable enterprise. ] So in our case, is that one rhinn per photo, or are we talking about the whole afternoon, regardless of how many photos we end up taking?

You got it, just one! Pretty great deal, huh?

[ He lifts a brown, long-necked bottle into view; coins clink around inside against the glass. ]

Unless you've got yen, then I'll take a 5-yen coin.

[ She looks at him incredulously, and doesn’t bother to hide it. Then she shakes her head. ] You know, Yato, if you weren’t my friend I wouldn’t be saying this, but... are you frickin’ sure?? Just really one copper rhinn? It’ll take forever to fill that bottle!

You sound like Yukine!

... I asked around. A copper rhinn is what people offer at the shrines they've got here.

Who’s Yukine? [ Just curious! ]

... Okay. And your goal is to fill that bottle with rhinn until it overflows? Then get a shrine built?

My Regalia-- a god's weapon. He didn't come with me when I showed up here.

Exactly! Then I'll build the greatest shrine that anyone's ever seen, and I'll be the land's top god!

Your weapon talks?

And you plan to achieve that in how many years again? [ She’s no math whiz, but counting money’s a life skill she’s developed as a trader. ]

No, he's a person-- Regalia are made from pure souls. His given name is Yuki, as a person Yukine, and the vessel name Sekki.

[ Ilda's remark seems to stick more pointedly at Yato then his casual demeanor lets on. ]

As long as it takes.

[ She looks both horrified and amazed at the thought. ] Ehhhhh? A living weapon?

... This really means a lot to you, huh. [ Not teasing now. She actually looks thoughtful, and there’s a glint of determination in her eyes. ]

[ He gets a bit of a funny look before he clarifies: ]

Well... pure deceased soul, so not exactly a living weapon. But, not something inanimate, if that's what you mean. I found him and Named him.

[ The way he says it implies the capital on the action. ]

Well... yeah. I mean, being without a shrine is basically the same as being homeless, you know?

[ She pauses for a bit, trying to digest the information. They have an Afterlife in their religion, too, but this is the first time she’s heard about that sort of post-death fate. No resting in peace then? ]

So even in death, we serve the gods. [ It’s not an angry or accusatory tone, though. She says it in the same way one would state that the sky is blue. ]

... Then let’s make sure you don’t stay homeless for long! [ Her enthusiasm is back now, but you can see the determination in her eyes. ] Is there a cap for wishes? How soon can I make another?

[ That... wasn't exactly what he'd been trying to convey with the explanation, so that's a little worrying. But she rebounds almost as fast as Yato himself does. ]

As soon as you want!

I’ll start making a list, then!

And I’ll have to look for a job, too.

What kinds of things do you like to do?

For a job, or in general?

For work, well… I enjoy trading. It’s what I do back home, and I have a lot of fun with it. I mostly sell fish and the stuff we make out of it, but I also procure goods that my regulars request.

If you mean hobbies, I like hanging out with people! Bring me to the marketplace or where people are at and I can be there all day. I also like to explore! Not that I did that much back home, but I’d love to when I can!

Let me know if you want an exploring partner. I want to put up some advertisements.

[ She grins. This is a joke, but don’t they say jokes are half-meant? ] Can I get a wish in exchange for that?
