I guess it's best to have the youkai steer clear from the temple.

If they saw this appearance, it won't be just a rumor anymore.

Let's ask the others to help out too. You don't have to carry this burden all by yourself.

Despite my being set in a high position for them, since they fear the gods, I'm powerless here.

.... I'll cooperate by staying dormant.

If I could be indistinguishable from a human, I could have understand how the rumor spreads, but alas...

...there's a limit on how much information I can gather by using the mice.
