Orsted or Laplace might know something about Hitogami's goal.. But I haven't met either of them for the past 50 years. Most likely, you won't be able to meet them either, even if you search for them."
"Nanahoshi didn't know where Orsted was?"
When I spoke Nanahoshi's name, the old man made a sorrowful face.
She didn't know?
Or could it be that Nanahoshi also...
"I didn't ask her, but certainly in this current era, it could be worth asking her. Even if she doesn't know where he is, she also thinks a lot about these kinds of things. She might come up with some kind of good idea."
"...What happened to Nanahoshi?"
"......"
The old man didn't answer.
He just had a sad expression.
But after a little while, he spoke while sighing.
"At the very end, she failed. And then became depressed, and I failed to support her... And then..."
Nanahoshi didn't return.
And then despaired, and maybe, to herself, by her own hand...
"I got it. Enough of that."
"Yeah, I don't want to talk about it either."
The old man raised his eyes, and as if pulling himself together, continued to speak.
"Listen. You'll learn about this around 10 years from now too, but... Hitogami isn't called Hitogami in this world.
"...What do you mean?"
"The God of Humans, written as Human God. There's nobody who doesn't know the name Human God, but only those who've met him directly know the term Hitogami. I don't know why he did something like that... Maybe just to toy with the people who know it."
