Late Night Talk Over Noodles: Daikoku and Yato Debate Destiny
Daikoku: *slurping down some ramen* You know, Yato, I can’t figure out if you’re more annoying or just ridiculously optimistic. Seriously, you think random people will just start worshipping you again? It’s been a rough ride since the last time!
Yato: Come on, Daikoku! Believe in the power of dreams! *waves his chopsticks dramatically* I just need to find the right person to spread my name, and BOOM! I’ll be their favorite god, trust me!
Daikoku: *chuckling* Right, because that worked out so well last time! What was it, ten shrines? Three of them literally on fire? You need a reality check, my friend.
Yato: *puffs out his cheeks* You’re such a buzzkill! You should be supporting my divine mission instead of bringing out the pessimism. It’s just waiting to happen… imagine me, Yato the Eternal God of Fortune! The crowds, the followers… *eyes sparkling* the ramen stands!
Daikoku: Now we’re talking my language! Ramen stands… though I’d rather eat instead of serve. But back to the topic. You do realize it’s gonna take more than a cute smile and fancy posters to get followers, right? You need to show some real character!
Yato: *nodding sagely* True, true. But what if I also had a mascot? Like a divine cat! Those are super popular these days. @YatoTheGodCat! What do you think?
Daikoku: *facepalming* You and your cats… I swear they’re the reason you keep missing your divine appointments. You know what you really need to focus on? Fixing things with Bishamon and the whole ‘being a god’ thing. Seriously, the last thing you need is more drama in your life.
Yato: Ahhh, Bishamon… *sighs dramatically* I tried apologizing, but every time I show up she just narrows her eyes and gives me that killer glare. How do I solve that? Send her flowers? Offer her another good luck charm?
Daikoku: *laughs* Maybe just stop pulling her into your messes! But honestly, Yato, there’s more at stake than just your reputation. Protecting your friends, even amidst the chaos, matters most. Get your act together; your fate is tied to everyone else’s!
Yato: *grinning ear to ear* You really know how to lift my spirits, Daikoku! Alright, I’m on it; I’ll charm Bishamon and become the god she can’t resist!
Daikoku: *rolling eyes* And don’t forget the ramen, Yato. All gods need their energy. Now, let’s eat before we get sidetracked again!

Imaginary Discussion: Daikoku and Yato Chat Over Drinks
In a cozy little bar hidden off a bustling street in Kyoto, Daikoku and Yato find themselves seated at a low table, each nursing a drink. The atmosphere is buzzing, but the two unlikely friends are lost in their own world.
Yato: *leans back, a playful smirk on his face* You know, Daikoku, sometimes I wonder how much longer we’re gonna let Hiyori run the show. It’s like she’s the real god around here, isn’t it?
Daikoku: *chuckles, swirling his drink* Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same. She’s got this weird knack for making everything work out. It’s almost infuriating, really! And then there’s you, always providing the comic relief.
Yato: *grinning* Hey, someone has to keep things interesting! And besides, at least we’re not as boring as Ebisu. I swear that guy can put a rock to sleep. How do you even like working for him?
Daikoku: *sighs dramatically* Yeah, I don’t think “boring” is in my vocabulary. But you know, I actually appreciate the calm now and then. I mean, you’re all about the chaos, but someone has to balance you out. Without me, you’d probably get in trouble…again.
Yato: *mockingly offended* Hey now, I can handle trouble just fine! It’s just that *smirks* trouble happens to find me. If you didn’t want to rescue me so often, I’d be fine! Remember the last job? “I’ve got a plan, Yato!” *rolls eyes* And suddenly I’m facing a swarm of angry spirits.
Daikoku: *laughing* Okay, okay, I admit, my plans could use a bit more… finesse. But look at it this way: every great deity needs a little chaos in their life, right? Keeps things lively. Plus, you’ve got my back, and I’ve got yours!
Yato: *nods seriously for a moment, then grins* True, true. Without you, I’d be a lost cause… or even worse, stuck in my own head. So, where do we go from here? Do we ruin more lives, or do we actually help someone today?
Daikoku: *taps his drink against Yato’s* Why not both? That’s our specialty! One half of a mess and the other half—somehow—turning it into a “learning opportunity.” Cheers to that!
As they clink their glasses, the scene fades out, laughter echoing through the dimly lit bar, two gods navigating their chaotic yet enchanting existence.
