He did sound like a god, but also like someone who is surprised at how the Heaven's are supposed to look like. I had no idea that's what he meant when he said his home is "not here"
[ The sad part, is that Caster didn't get to interrogate Sotero a lot, but he will share his impression openly ]
Looks like there are more gods living on the Near Shore than we thought. He can't be very old either.
If that were the sort of thing we were dealing with... Then I don't think a cult would be involved in this way..
[Not the secrecy, or the active recruitment, or the use of Twitter... Those are all things which lead him to the conclusion that these people still have their own free will.]
[Of course, one having their own free will doesn't mean they still can't be used.]
And that's right... That's what Heaven's been warning us about. If anyone unusual has been using our god's shrines...
I was always under the impression these things need the permission of the owner of the god they belong to.
[ Or can they be accessed against the god's will- if that's so, it changes everything. The cult knows very well the locations, they put the damned charms there ]
[Chikusa is a well known abuser of cheating and using other gods' shrines to get around when he needs to. Why not? It's the easiest thing to do, far better than trying to track down every Nanshe and Lie Tieguai shrine around... although, with how popular the pair are, maybe that wouldn't be too hard nowadays.]
[Well, whatever.]
However... according to one of the old shinki... Gods still know when their shrines are being used to travel.

[Don't mind his complete deadpan. Honestly, that kind of stupid... Whatever.]
He had to be a god, but he said he lived with his dad in a home, instead of a temple...
[Chikusa is fine with this idea of one on one information exchange.]

...Which means it might not actually be a god-
[Chikusa pauses abruptly, and clearly gets lost in thought for a moment as his gaze drifts off.]
..No, not right maybe...
[Sorry, Caster, he's totally leaving you out of his thought process here.]
no subject
[ That's okay Chikusa, he knows you're processing and compiling something out there ]
Anyway- If he got into the Heaven, that means he either has some kind of a Temple here- or that someone let him in through the shrine, right?
