This is a compilation of folk legends about the Lesser Lord Kusanali that have been passed down by word of mouth among the people. I collected them while preparing for the Sabzeruz Festival, interviewing people and recording what they said. Although I interviewed many people, there were still far too few who knew anything about the Lesser Lord Kusanali. I hope this material can help you in your search for the Lesser Lord Kusanali.
First matter: The water source near Avidya Forest was once polluted, and people had to travel very far to fetch water. But one day, people suddenly found that the water was drinkable again. Some said they had seen a green light near the water source the night before. Everyone believed it was the power of the Lesser Lord Kusanali.
That does sound quite plausible. Polluted water would take a very long time to purify itself naturally. Could the Lesser Lord Kusanali have appeared near Avidya Forest?
[Paimon: Nahida, was that you?]
[Nahida: It was me. Helping people solve problems is a deity's responsibility.]
[Yae Miko: See that, Ei? You really shouldn't stay cooped up at home all day.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: How could such small matters be handled by the deity personally? My brother and I can take care of them.]
[Paimon: I remember that in the Shogun's settings, she wouldn't handle small matters like ley line leaks. But that time, Ei was in control of the body, so she personally dealt with the monsters.]
[Lumine: Ei would help with similar situations too—she just didn't know about them.]
[Yae Miko: That's why I'm saying, Ei, don't stay cooped up at home all the time. How can you understand this nation if you're always indoors?]
[Ei: Miko, then let's go out together.]
[Yae Miko: Ah, the Grand Narukami Shrine is very busy. I don't have that much time to wander around.]
[Paimon: What else could you be busy with? Secretly reading light novels, right? Miko is so two-faced.]
[Yae Miko: As the editor of Yae Publishing House, reading light novels is my job!]
Second matter: After my mother passed away, I was very afraid at night and couldn't sleep. One day, a voice began to accompany me, chatting with me until I fell asleep. An older sister told me it was the Lesser Lord Kusanali who was taking pity on me.
What a poor child. I hope the Sabzeruz Festival can make them a little happier. Her experience is very similar to mine. She is truly a gentle deity.

Folk legends, combined with Dunyarzad's own reflections—similar entries like these filled many pages.
After reading it, Paimon said, slightly choking up, "This... Dunyarzad wrote this. She was always thinking about us."
"But she was so busy preparing for the Sabzeruz Festival, and her health was so poor."
"Now it seems she wanted to give this to us in person on the Sabzeruz Festival as a gift."
"If we hadn't discovered this book now, we never would have known she did all this."
"But now that we do know, we can't even say thank you."
Lumine looked up at the sky, softly murmuring Dunyarzad's name, then ran all the way to Dunyarzad's puppet.
After a moment's thought, she softly said, "Thank you."
Then she sat down on the bench.
[Paimon: Why are you sitting down? Don't give up!]
[Furina: Yes, time is limited. You must not give up.]
Paimon hovered beside Lumine.
"Thinking back, we've really been trapped here for a very, very long time. Chatting happily with Dunyarzad feels like it was a long, long time ago."
"We were both sitting here back then, and when she mentioned watching Nilou's Dance of Sabzeruz, her eyes sparkled."
