The Believers Keep Trying to Contain Me

The ancient god Moze had slept for ten thousand years. One day, He suddenly awoke and discovered that someone had placed a small flower before His altar.

With a grunt, Moze burst out of His coffin, eager to see which loyal follower was still worshipping Him after all these years.

To His surprise, the flower had been left by a child out on a picnic, entirely by accident.

But according to an ancient pact, the moment the flower was offered, the child became Moze's follower.

Moze thought the child had a bright future ahead and decided to sleep for another twenty years to regain His strength. Once He awoke, He would promote His little follower to high priest. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they conquered the world together?

Twenty years later, when the stars returned to their proper places, Moze opened His eyes, only to be stunned by how much the world had changed.

Anomalies were everywhere, monsters were a dime a dozen, and His little follower had actually joined the Anomaly Containment Bureau, the very kind that dealt with ancient gods.

Moze: What am I supposed to do if my follower tries to contain me? Asking online, this is urgent!

Moze: Maybe I should defect too?

From that day on, the world had one fewer ancient god, while the Containment Bureau gained a new recruit.

Moze lived by the belief that if you were going to do something, you should do it well. He worked conscientiously and diligently put in overtime.

During every field mission, his colleagues stood on high alert, while Moze found it as relaxing as a picnic. He knocked out every anomaly with a single punch, leaving them wailing: "The Containment Bureau has no honor! You ambushed a little guy who's only eight hundred years old with an ancient god! Is that fair?"

His superiors were full of praise for Moze's performance and assigned his follower, Shi Che, as his partner.

Moze took a closer look. Twenty years had passed, and his adorable little follower had grown into a handsome young man!

His skin was cool and pale, his features striking, and his tailored black suit made his tall, lean frame look even more imposing.

He might have looked icy and unapproachable, but Moze believed that with enough effort, he could eventually melt that iceberg and make the iron tree blossom!

While he spent his days thinking about how to whisk Shi Che away, one day during a mission, Moze accidentally extended a translucent tentacle...

Shi Che: "What was that just now?"

Moze: "...Would you believe me if I said it was a tail?"

Shi Che: "Humans don't have tails! What exactly are you?!"

Moze: "I-it's the kind of tail that grows in front!"

Shi Che: "?"

Shi Che: "I don't believe you. Unless you let me see."

[Anomaly Containment Bureau File]

[Name] Moze

[Number] S-003

[Threat Level] Extreme

[Description] This anomaly is a revived ancient deity. Its true form is unknown, though it is suspected to be some kind of cephalopod. It usually takes the form of a human male around twenty-five years of age.

Exceptionally intelligent and devious. Once infiltrated the Containment Bureau in disguise without being detected.

Can suppress anomalies ranked below S-class.

[Containment Measures] Senior Investigator Shi Che has promised to serve as its "high priest" and provide regular reassurance.

Shi Che is the top, Moze is the bottom. Probably a case of a straightforward guy conquering a tsundere, with a not-so-bright and grumpy pairing.
