The Grand Son

Oshihomimi,Omohikane

The Grand Son

It was the sobering experience for Amaterasu to get the country back from Ohkuninushi. Getting the country wasn't her ultimate goal. She knew that it was just the beginning. She wanted to achieve what her parents hadn't been able to finish.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

So, let Oshihomimi go down to Middle Earth as the emperor.

Omohikane

Omohikane

What?

Omohikane was a bit surprised at what Amaterasu said.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Oshihomimi is the person who ran away first when we came across the rebellions. How can we trust him?

In spite of Omohikane's worry, Amaterasu summoned Oshihomimi.

Oshihomimi looked nonchalant as usual.

Omohikane

Omohikane

I'm still doubting his skill...

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Oshihomimi, you will rule Middle Earth.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

Oww...that sucks.....

Omohikane

Omohikane

Hey! He doesn't feel like going there. He isn't cut out for the boss, let alone the emperor.

Oshihomimi was also struggling to think of excuses.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

When once I go down to Middle Earth, it may become very difficult to come back here. No!
I don't want to stop living a comfortable life in the Celestial Plain. Never! But Mom won't allow me to say no, so I need a special excuse.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

Well...I'd love to go there...In fact I got ready but.....I'm afraid I can't.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Eh? How come?

Amaterasu looked annoyed. He scratched his head.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

To be honest.......I have it.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

You have what?

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

.................a kid.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

What?? It's news to me! Who's the mother?

Omohikane felt as if he was glanced at by Oshihomimi.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Eh? What does it mean? Who is she?

Omohikane had a bad feeling.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

.............................................It's Chizi.

Omohikane

Omohikane

What!!!!?

What the hell have you done to my lovely sister!!?

Chizi was Omohikane's beloved little sister. Omohikane looked insane. It was the first time for Amaterasu to see Omohikane in such a furious status. He rarely got angry, so it made her frightened more.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Wait, Omohikane! Please calm down!

Oshihomimi looked at Omohikane nonchalantly, while Amaterasu was trying to soothe him.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

Well....it happened just because she rode on me.

Omohikane grabbed Oshihomimi by the collar.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Don't be ridiculous! My sister's never so loose!

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

....Who knows? Anyway we've done it. That's it.

Omohikane

Omohikane

That's not it!! I'll never forgive you! Get out of here! I'll kill you!!

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

Shit! What a sissy bloke! Eh?? Do you dare to take on me?

Omohikane

Omohikane

Bring it on!

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Pleeease calm down, Omohikane!!

Omohikane was about to kill Oshihomimi. Just when Amaterasu tried to stop him, Chizi rushed into the room. She heard about the hubbub from somewhere.

Chizi

Chizi

Oh my god! Oh my god! Please stop!! Mimi! Brother!

When Omohikane saw her, he was almost crying.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Chizi! Are you OK? What have this bloke done to you?

Omohikane

Omohikane

Shit! I'll send him to Hades right now!

Omohikane was about to take the sword of Totsuka. Chizi interrupted him with the maximum extent.

Chizi

Chizi

Brother! Calm down! Mimi and me have a brilliant relationship and the kid is the consequence. Please get excited about it!

Omohikane

Omohikane

Well...but...

Chizi

Chizi

Ninigi, Come on in!

Ninigi

Ninigi

......

A little boy ran into the room. He went straight behind his mother. He tentatively looked up Omohikane's eye.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Oh!

Chizi

Chizi

Hey, Ninigi. Say hello to uncle Omohikane.

Ninigi

Ninigi

........Hello. Uncle Omohikane.

Omohikane felt as if his heart was shot with an arrow of love.

Omohikane

Omohikane

This is my nephew...How lovely...

Chizi giggled.

Chizi

Chizi

He is so cute, isn't he?

Omohikane

Omohikane

Yes. Soooo....

When Omohikane reached out to Ninigi, he was jostled by someone.

It was Amaterasu.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Woooooooooooooooow!! So cute!! Is he my grandson? It's surreal! I love it!

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

So, let Ninigi go down to Middle Earth.

Oshihomimi suggested in the confusion.

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Oh! Yes! I totally agree with you. Hey, Ninigi. You'll go down to Middle Earth and rule the country. Do you understand?

Ninigi

Ninigi

Yes! Grandma!

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Ugh! G....grandma. Yes, it's correct. I'm your grandma....but how about Madam Ama?

Ninigi

Ninigi

Madam Ama...?

Amaterasu

Amaterasu

Yes. Good.

So I'll go and check whether the route is safe or not, before Ninigi leaves.

Amaterasu went out of the room in a gleeful mood.

Omohikane

Omohikane

Oh, I'll accompany you.

Omohikane followed.

Oshihomimi was relieved to see that they were now quite happy.

Oshihomimi

Oshihomimi

Good for you, Ninigi. You'll become the emperor of the country!

Ninigi

Ninigi

Yes, Dad!

Ninigi smiled innocently.
