Oreki Houtarou's Power-First Classroom

The Miyamizu family enshrines the shrine and enshrines the body of the gods.

So I am very sensitive to this topic.

"I want to know if you have any gods here," Oreki said.

"..." Mitsuha.

As a witch, Mitsuha herself doesn't know. "If you want to know, just ask my grandma."

she said. "Grandma might know."

Oreki-san has already asked her about this.

However, Mitsuha was talking and seemed to be leading Oreki-san home, but Oreki-san still followed behind.

On the way, I occasionally see a few unfamiliar faces who are traveling.

"By the way, these passengers are carrying drawing boards on their backs," Oreki-san said. "Is oil painting developing well here?"

'Well! "

Sanye's body seemed to be suddenly caught by something.

"what……"

"Well, how can I say-"

Mitsuha couldn't say anything.

"Is it because your paintings are so famous? Then you became famous in various ways, and then your father used it as a gimmick to develop tourism. Then many tourists who came here wanted to paint."

Oreki-san said.

"Why do you know!" Sanye looked stunned.

"I said I was here four years ago, and of course I know everything."

"But we are officially meeting for the first time."

"Hello."

Oreki-san stretched out his hand to her, "I am Oreki Houtarou."

Oreki Houtarou?

Mitsuha is unfamiliar with this name,

But strangely, she vaguely felt that Oreki-san seemed...a bit familiar.

"...I'm Mitsuha Gongshui."

Mitsuha didn't hold his hand, but introduced herself, "I'm currently in the third year of high school in the city."

"I'm from Kyoto, a freshman in high school." Oreki said.

"You're younger than me?" Mitsuha seemed to have found a blind spot.

"..."

indeed.

When Oreki-san came here four years ago, Mitsuha was still in the second year of junior high school.

Now she is a third grade senior.

……

So the two went to Gongshui's house together.

There have been some changes in the surrounding houses.

Many houses have been remodeled.

Turned into a coffee shop, family restaurant and more.

Or a small shop, etc.

It has really developed with the development of tourism.

But the Miyazaki family has not changed.

It is almost exactly as Oreki-san remembers, and you need to walk up a long staircase to reach it.

"Sanye, you're back..."

"Who is this?"

On the first floor, an old man was weaving a knot with his hands flexibly.

"A... um, passerby," Mitsuha introduced.

She is wet now and needs to change her clothes.

"And this one for you first."

"You need to boil the water to get hot water, so wait a moment." Mitsuha added, bringing a towel to Oreki-san.

Oreki-san wiped his face.

"It turned out to be a guest..."

"Oh……"

But Mitsuha's grandmother, Gong Shui Yiye, pushed the reading glasses. "You are the one who has a fate with Mitsuha."

"You asked me before if I had a god, right?"

"I think there is."

"!?—"

This grandma must be too strong.

Oreki-san was surprised to find that this grandma actually knew him.

Oh no.

It should be said to know.

Because, he said before that the performance of the fake Mitsuha is completely different from the original Mitsuha.

"By the way, isn't Yotsuba at home?"

Oreki-san asked.

"She went to school to deliver something to the teacher. She should be back soon."

Oh.

Oreki-san nodded and sat down obediently.

"If you are looking for a god, you stay, and tomorrow I will go to the mountains with Sanye."

"Go and see the gods."

"You can go and have a look," said Grandma.

Oh.

Although he is very interested, Oreki-san’s current goal is not to seek God.

……

"You can take a shower."

After a while, Mitsuha, who changed into casual clothes, walked over and said.

"Wear my father's clothes first." Mitsuha handed him the man's clothes.

Oreki-san nodded.

It seems their family is reconciled.

Gongshui's father entered the Gongshui family, but instead of inheriting the shrine, he wanted to be the mayor of the town, which is indeed strange.

"And what about your father?"

"He went to the shrine."

"Isn't he the mayor?"

"I'm giving up the election this year," Sanye added.

"So has the shrine become more lively now?" Oreki asked.

Although less than an hour had passed for him, it felt like he was revisiting his old place.

?

Sanye looked at him a little surprised, but still answered honestly,

"Well, it's also a tourist spot."

"There are often tourists visiting."

"And the number of temple fairs has also increased."

It turned out to be the case.

Oreki-san understood.

What is the mayor's father thinking?

Previously, Mitsuha and the others were dissatisfied with the father's abandonment of inheriting the shrine to become the mayor, but the mayor said that he did not inherit, but he already understood.

Something necessary for the existence of Miyasui Shrine.

There was a fire a few years ago.

Many books and even shrines were burned down.

Therefore, the Miyasui Shrine has declined.

And he became the mayor of the town to develop vigorously, financial support, and strategy to support Gongshui Shrine.

And now the Miyasui Shrine has become the symbol of Itoshu Town.

in this way.
