The Inari God's comfort brought Minami considerable peace of mind. Though she was still worried and troubled, it was far less overwhelming than before.
After all, this was divine guidance. For believers devoted to the deities, such guidance was something they could trust unconditionally.
Although Minami was not a follower of the Inari God, when a legendary deity truly appeared before her and provided guidance in response to her prayers, what reason did she have to doubt the Inari God's instructions?
What's more, Minami came seeking the Inari God's guidance in the first place. Now that the deity had given her what she asked for, if she were to doubt it, then what was the point of seeking guidance at all?
However, Minami, who left with satisfaction, did not realize that her worries had actually stemmed from a divine scheme. At this moment, the guidance she received from the Inari God wasn't meant to solve her troubles but merely to temporarily soothe her.
