Aokawa Mariko looked surprised and said, "Kushiinadahime?" Kushiinadahime is quite famous in Japanese mythology, as the wife of Susano-o no Mikoto. She is believed to govern "family happiness," "marriage matchmaking," and "many children and grandchildren." It turns out the amulet she spent money on wasn't the right one for her situation. If she wore it for too long, she might end up with an extra grandpa.
"Use mine," Nanahara Takeshi was not just all talk. He cared about his quality clients and was willing to provide something solid. He quickly produced a small wooden carving inscribed with spells and a brocade pouch.
He placed the carving into the pouch, tied it, and handed it to Old Mrs. Fumie, smiling, "Just carry it with you. It's even better to wear it on your chest, and there's no need to remove it when you sleep."
