History[]
Background[]
She came from a lineage of Shinto Priests. She went to study how to become a Priest however with the high expectations she soon succumbed to pressure and started failing. She soon became conscious of those around her and started becoming a shut-in NEET. She found isolation comfortable. Around that time Amaterasu became her friend. Later she asked her parents for money for "Shinto School" however it was used for games. When her parents found out they stopped caring for her. She later learned she had more magical power than others. Before she was crowned as a King she was defeated by Ikōsai Aisu and brutally murdered.
Out of guilt Amaterasu took her soul into her realm and built a world for her Itsuki could control. A couple of strange companions were made to keep her company. Since there was no longer a flesh body in which to recover her strength Amaterasu entered a state of deep hibernation. Meanwhile Susanoo had made a deal with Loki and had turned nearly all the Japanese Divas into Wild Gods. The Ise Grand Shrine had been turned into a Haunted Ground and was being used to sap her Diva’s divinity and destroy her. They managed to send a messenger outside to seek help but Futsunushi no Kami was the only friend they could find who was still in his right mind. Through him they became aware of Hayashizaki Kazuki. They realized his personality traits and his power as the King of Solomon made him the ideal person to help them. The Wild Gods were being used by a separatist nation in western Japan to spark a Civil War. Kazuki was easily convinced to visit the shrine in hope of bringing them back to their senses.
Plot[]
Volume 6[]
Kazuki arrived at the shrine along with his friend Tsukahara Kazuha. With help from the guide/messenger they sent they managed to clear the Haunted Ground. This process involved freeing young people who had been possessed by Wild Gods and become little better than Demonic Beasts. Aisu tried to intervene as well but once their objective was explained to her she understood it was in her best interest to not interfere with them for the moment. As they entered the Astrum in an attempt to reach Amaterasu, a series of trials began to test their compatibility. It was explained that Amaterasu had great interest in open and honest relations between men and women. This made Kazuha uncomfortable because she had always had a tsundere attitude towards Kazuki. They were asked to perform a “lewd festival” to draw the Diva’s attention and wake her up. Itsuki was disappointed in herself but was unable to accomplish this herself and seemed depressed about it. Their visitors had no choice but to play these games or fail their mission
They played a game that influenced them with magic. This removed their inhibitions and Kazuha freely admitted her true felling for Kazuki. While under some sort of trance they engaged in perverted activities until Amaterasu finally woke up and revealed herself. Itsuki was delighted to see her but unhappy to have been left alone in the first place. Thanks to Susanoo, their Mythology was in a situation where they were being used by people with nefarious intent. But Itsuki hadn’t stood a chance when facing Aisu and had been killed. After learning the kind of leader Kazuki was from Futsunushi no Kami, Amaterasu decided she should make herself and Itsuki subordinate to him. This would make him the candidate who would face Aisu for the title of King. If he won he could calm the Divas down and end the Civil War. Also by combining her own power with that of the 72 Pillars Amaterasu would be able to restore Itsuki to life. Her lifespan would be dependent on how close they became. Itsuki had no interest in romance but Kazuki felt sorry for the lonely girl and agreed. Once she met with Lemegeton she properly became a conquest target, though her Positivity Level wasn’t very high.
One the recommendation of Itsuki they began to flee from the evil spirits after being detected in the world of the dead. They weren’t properly warned about the dangers of this place. Itsuki was out of shape and Kazuki was forced to carry her. The spirits chasing them weren’t strong but were unlimited in number. Their greatest advantage was they could outrun them. But they were ambushed by Aisu and the Takasugi brothers (Shūsui and Harunari)) before they could escape. Aisu wanted to prove herself the strongest swordsman as well as become King. Itsuki volunteers to hold back the spirits chasing them while the other two fight. The brothers had degenerated into something less than human in their desire for power. They became a monster which blocked their path. As Kazuha prepared to take it on, even Aisu agreed with them that it was idiotic to go that far to get stronger. Aisu was totally focused on Kazuki and let Kazuha pass her unmolested and the battlefield was divided into three.
Aisu ended up conceding her defeat on this occasion but managed to escape. Kazuha had also won her battle and reduced the brothers to a state of Magic Intoxication. Itsuki managed to vaporize the nearby spirits. Though Kazuki had allowed Aisu to flee the fact she had admitted her loss meant the influence of her Diva should be reduced. Most of the Divas who were originally loyal to Amaterasu should have returned to their senses. Kazuki wondered how many times he had to beat her to get her to submit. Kazuha joked he could always add her to his Harem instead. This should be enough to send Yamato into disarray so they made their way out to signal their success so the attack could begin. They brought the collapsed brothers back to the real world with them. Itsuki was disturbed to see the bloodstains where she had been murdered. Kazuki could tell from her body weight that she needed to recover more substance. They were interested in helping her. But Itsuki didn’t care much about herself and didn’t want attention only out of pity. Kazuha insisted it was out of goodwill.
When Kazuki’s group got closer to the entrance they found Aisu being confronted by Kaya and a group of masked people. They apparently had made a deal to help her become King. They had agreed not to attack Kazuki until their contest was settled. But Kaya had predicted all along that Kazuki would win in the end. Even if he lost, she knew that the nature of Aisu’s Power of Usurpation meant she would turn on the other Kings next. Aisu was ready to surrender herself totally to her Diva to power up and get her revenge but Kazuki stopped her and suggested they work together to escape. Kazuki predicts that Kaya had only brought her own close associates here. She couldn’t afford to have the deception they used to win over the Japanese Divas be exposed. She asked her followers to hold the contractors of the strongest Japanese Divas back. She and the others were shocked when Kazuki unlocked the second part of his Magic Dress, Solomon’s Emblem.
Kazuki unlocked a new skill and was able to contact Amasaki Miō with Telepathy. He let them know the mission was a success. He said many enemy magic users will have fled and urged them to attack new. The group displayed their Summoning Magic as they ran down the stairs to intercept the force from Yamato. Aisu acted offended after getting help from Itsuki but still lined up with them. Among the masked figures facing them Kazuki recognized Maya. He also recognized other Divas from Norse Mythology such as Hel and Fenrir. But he knew from past experience that while Illegal Magicians had fast chanting speed, they tended to be limited to low-level magic. He was confident in his companions facing 3-to-1 odds and took on Kaya.
Kazuki easily used his improved power to overpower Kaya, who surrendered control to Loki. After an intense battle Kazuki was surprised when Loki decided they should retreat rather than finish him off. It seems they were satisfied having gotten an accurate picture of his growth. Kazuki was viewed as a necessary piece of their future plans. After they left, Aisu also retreated, promising to get her revenge on those guys as well as to defeat Kazuki. Since Loki had betrayed her it seemed like Yamato’s support from the Japanese Divas was over but it seemed neither of them were interested in Yamato anymore. Kazuki worried about the future and decided they should return to Japan’s territory.
Just as their allies had won, a couple of powerful magicians from China had suddenly turned up, broken thorough their lines and were approaching Kodzuki Kanon and Yagumo Akane at headquarters. Kazuki wasn't really surprised. Kazuki arrived on the battlefield carrying Kazuha and Itsuki. They would be unable to reach their friends in time so at Kazuha’s suggestion they were thrown. They weren’t able to hurt the enemies but succeeded in distracting them. Kazuki also launched a high-speed attack and failed to affect anything. Kanon used a spell that removed the Sacred Treasures held by the enemies. The allowed them to fight back to some degree. But the Japanese Knights were still in disarray and helpless. It seemed things would get worse when Lotte detected more strange magicians approaching. But these figures on horseback had come to help Japan. Their leader used a Sacred Treasure that disrupted all the magic in the area. The enemies were left vulnerable by this and fled along with the Yamato troops. The Knights were ordered not to pursue. The strangers offered to join their ranks. It turned out they belonged to an alliance of Asian countries opposed to the aggressive expansion of China.
Kazuki attended a meeting that also served as a mission debriefing. The leaders of Ryōzanpaku were hoping to form an alliance with a Magically Advanced Country. Japan had always remained neutral in these conflicts. Soon the international community would step in and force a cease fire. They would then investigate and issue a judgment of which government was the legitimate ruling body of Japan. If there was a divided opinion on this, things might not be settled until the battle between Kazuki and Aisu ends and Japan had am official King. They were interrupted by the German Knights, including the newly recovered Beatrix Baumgard. They announced they would be suspending their agreement with the government of Japan until this matter was settled.
