Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Sayaka and Chi Shi also saw Manaka Mina and Chi Shi, and Chi Shi's throat rolled, he swallowed and mustered up the courage to walk up.

Although everyone in the town said that Sanye was now the incarnation of God, in his eyes, she was just a girl and his good friend.

Now facing the evil bully, it was time for him to order Katsuhiko Kawara to step forward! He had been waiting for so many years for this day. Let Yamanaka Shunya see who can accompany the miko-sama!

The imperial emissary, who was intoxicated with self-movement, felt his collar being pulled, and his whole body was dragged forward and staggered two steps.

Then he saw Mitsuha Miyamizu striding forward past the two of them.

How could Hojo Kyousuke let a seemingly weak envoy help him stand out? If the scum brought by Manaka Mina was really here to cause trouble, he could solve it with one hand.

"Hey, you girl, you're the one bullying my girlfriend!"

The strong man said vulgar words and walked towards Hojo Kyousuke, while Manaka Mina behind him showed a proud expression.

After being bullied by Mitsuha Miyamizu the day before yesterday, she originally planned to swallow it down under the persuasion of her parents, but yesterday her good friend Shunya Yamanaka actually betrayed their fashion alliance!

You must know that Mina Manaka was bullied by Mitsuha Miyamizu just to help him vent his anger. Why did he betray the alliance first! ?

When I got home yesterday, Manaka Mina became more and more angry as she thought about it, and then she found her current boyfriend.

Her boyfriend Yamada Kazuo's family is a big farmer of Itomori. He is a foreigner. He is not afraid of Mitsuha Mitsuha's father, the mayor, nor Itomori's ancient owner Miyamizu Shrine.

Sure enough, as soon as she acted coquettishly, her simple-minded boyfriend came to help her vent her anger.

What a Miyamizu Shrine, what an incarnation of a god, she's just a stinky girl. She wanted to see how Mitsuha Miyamizu would have the dignity to be a young lady after today.

Thinking of how Mitsuha Miyamizu would be severely repaired later, Mina Manaka couldn't help but want to laugh and celebrate in advance.

Yamada Kazuo stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the head of the stinky girl who was less than his chest height. When he thought about it, he would grab the head and throw the girl away.

Thinking of this, his ugly face revealed a sinister smile.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't panic at all when facing a strong man who was three times as big as Mitsuha Miyamizu.

Although this body has not been trained in this area at all, when he was still in elementary school, Hojo Kyosuke could use his weaker body to face double-digit enemies. Now he is just a person, still a big fool, nothing more than a trivial person.

Facing an opponent who is much stronger than yourself, leveraging your own strength is always the best solution.

Hojo Kyousuke tightly grasped the strong man's extended hand with both hands, stepped back, and pressed down hard with both hands. Mitsuha Miyamizu's body was much shorter than that of the strong man. Under such pressure, the strong man's body suddenly fell forward uncontrollably.

If it were his own body, Hojo Kyousuke would choose to kneel directly on the opponent, making the other person's face bloom.

But now, he felt that using Mitsuha Miyami's fair and beautiful legs to do this action was like rewarding the other party.

Both hands used all their strength to press down again. When the strong man's body fell down completely uncontrollably, Hojo Kyousuke took a step back and kicked the opponent hard in the face.

Tsk, even though Mitsuha Miyamizu's strength was very small, the round-toed small leather shoes kicked her hard on the face, and her nose bone must have been broken. As for the rest, Hojo Kyousuke didn't look at him, and walked directly past him and walked into the school.

"A man!"

Manaka Mina screamed and ran towards her boyfriend. She didn't expect that things would turn upside down so suddenly. She originally thought it was a sure thing, but it turned out that it was her boyfriend who fell there and wailed.

"Oh, by the way, there's you too."

Hojo Kyosuke originally wanted to ignore this woman, but he thought that if they hadn't exchanged bodies today, Mitsuha Miyamizu would have been miserable.

He grabbed Manaka Mina's hair and pulled her head in front of him.

The two were face to face. Hojo Kyosuke endured the pungent smell of the inferior cosmetics, squinting his eyes and staring into Manaka Mina's eyes without blinking.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Looking at Mitsuha Miyami's narrow eyes, Manaka Mina seemed to see countless demons inside, and then thought of the crazy posture in the art class the day before yesterday.

She wouldn't want to step on me like she stepped on my paintings, right?

She could clearly see the bloody look on her boyfriend's face. Thinking that her beautiful face was going to be ruined, Manaka Mina started crying and her legs couldn't stop shaking.

Really, Mitsuha Miyamizu's health is not good.

Hojo Kyousuke, who was about to speak, felt the falling force on his hands, and could no longer hold Manaka Mina's hair, so he let go of his hand, and the latter immediately knelt on the ground.

"Listen, when I go to school tomorrow, you can come to Mitsuha Miyamizu to apologize. If she doesn't forgive you then, I will come to you again."

Hojo Kyosuke bent down and said to Manaka Mina with a stern face.

"Looking for Miyami Mitsuha", "her"

Manaka Mina, who was desperate for survival, keenly heard something was wrong in Mitsuha Miyamizu's words, could it be said? It’s true as that fellow Yamanaka Toshiya said, the gods are using Mitsuha Miyamizu’s body now! ?

No, he must be possessed by a demon!

After thinking about this, the fear in her heart became even greater. It's over, the devil is targeting me!

Ignoring Manaka Mina who was kneeling on the ground and thinking wildly, Hojo Kyousuke called Sayaka and walked into the school with the envoy. He had to clean his shoes quickly, they were so dirty.

"Mitsuha, is it really okay?" Sayaka, who accompanied Mitsuha Miyamizu to the faucet on the playground to shine her shoes, asked worriedly.

This little girl has a timidity that matches her innocent personality, but it looks even cuter when paired with her.

"What are you afraid of? If he still dares to come, I will definitely protect you!" the emissary said.

"You? Forget it, I saw it. You were so scared that your legs were shaking just now!"

Sayaka said straightforwardly, not knowing how much harm these words would cause to her childhood sweetheart.

"..." The Imperial Ship was declared scrapped.

"That's not the case. Just now, the envoy was about to rush forward and fight that person, but I was able to pull him back."

I wiped it with a paper towel again and again with water, and finally wiped off any possible dirt on the shoes. Looking at the smooth and shiny shoe uppers, Hojo Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to comfort the envoy.

"That's right! I'm not as timid as you are Sayaka."

The emissary also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he intended to protect his friends, his legs did shake when facing the strong man who felt oppressive.

"Huh? Do you want me to protect you?" Sayaka said angrily.

"If Sanye can do it, why can't you?" The envoy said immediately. This was certainly not his original intention, but bickering was a tacit pleasure between him and Sayaka.

"I command you to..."

Haha, watching the two friends start their daily tasks for the day, Hojo Kyousuke smiled and took the lead in walking towards the teaching building.

He was not worried that this incident would cause subsequent trouble for Minato. The emissary had just told him the relevant information about Mina Manaka and her boyfriend.

First of all, it was a conflict outside the school. If you want to call the police detective, let him go. If I remember correctly, the police detective office of this town is inside the town office, and maybe I can meet Mitsuha Miyamizu's father.

As for the school, just looking at the teachers who just bowed to him and called "Ms. Mitsuha", Hojo Kyosuke really couldn't worry. Although I don't know why, it seems that Mitsuha Miyamizu's status in this town has significantly improved.

This little witch did a pretty good job.

The time when you don’t have to study passes quickly, and it’s time to get out of school in no time.

Seeing Teacher Yukino Mokarari standing at the door of the classroom, Tashio and Sayaka said goodbye to Mitsuha Miyamizu in a tacit understanding.

"What do you think Teacher Xiaoxue wants to do with Mitsuha?" Sayaka asked on the way home.

"Perhaps we should have a heart-to-heart talk with Sanye like last time? After all, a lot has happened in the past few days." The envoy pushed the bicycle.

"I always feel like Mitsuha is getting further and further away from us." Sayaka said with some disappointment.

"Yes." The envoy raised his head and looked at the Miyamizu Shrine on the top of the mountain.

In the past, Mitsuha was just a low-class miko with the title of "Mrs. Futaba's daughter". She would be criticized by the older generation of believers for any slightly out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Several times they went to the shrine to play with Mitsuha, and they saw her hiding in the house, missing her mother, and crying hysterically.

"It's a good thing, she finally achieved her wish." The emissary sighed. Now the people in the town calling "Miss Sanye" are definitely sincere. They really feel that Sanye is slowly... Become like Aunt Erye.

"Is this really a good thing? I feel like Sanye was under a lot of pressure yesterday."

Sayaka's mind is much simpler than that of Shi Shi, but just like that, she can see something else.

"Zayayaka!"

The clear child's voice interrupted the conversation between the two. Following the sound, I saw Miyamizu Yotsuba jumping up and running towards the two of them.

"It's Yotsuba, hello." Sayaka waved and said happily.

"Hello to you too." After Yotsuba ran over, she immediately took Sayaka's hand and was very affectionate.

"There is another person here." The emissary complained.

"Oh, it turns out to be the envoy. Why are you still hanging around Sayaka?" Yotsuba's tone instantly became cold.

"Damn it..." The Imperial Envoy was sunk again.

"Sayaka, where is my sister?"

"Sanye, she is discussing something with Teacher Xiaoxue."

"Talk about something?" Siye asked doubtfully.

"Maybe it's because these days..."

Then Sayaka danced and happily told Miyamizu Yotsuba one by one about several things Hojo Kyosuke had done.

"Really or not, how could my idiot sister be so powerful?"

Although she trusted Sayaka, Yotsuba still couldn't believe that she knew her sister so well.

"Of course it's true. You didn't see it. With just one strike from Sanye, the man five times taller than you fell down. Then with another strike from Sanye, the man's face blossomed."

Sayaka said exaggeratedly while giving a demonstration with the imperial edict.

Five me, how tall is that?

Siye raised his head and thought for a moment, then his face turned pale with fright. This was too scary!

But Sayaka will never lie to her. No matter what happens, Sayaka will never treat her like a child to fool her. This is why Yotsuba likes her.

"So handsome." Yotsuba, who was raised as a boy by her grandmother since she was a child, exclaimed that her stupid sister could actually defeat such a giant.

"Yeah, yeah, he's so handsome!" Getting Yotsuba's approval made Sayaka even happier.

The group returned home talking and laughing.

On the other side, Yukino Mokarari and Hojo Kyousuke did not go to the office this time, but walked outside the teaching building.

"I saw it by the window this morning. It was really dangerous."

Yukino Mokari spoke first. The scene she saw in the morning, where Mitsuha Miyamizu was blocked by girls at the school gate, reminded her of that painful memory.

Although the causes were different and the forms of violence she encountered were different, she still felt the same way.

"You mean Manaka Mina? What's the danger in that?" Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right. After all, Mitsuha, you are a person possessed by a god." Xueye said with a smile.

"They are all talking nonsense. Xueno, you are from Tokyo, do you believe this?"

"I'm not from Tokyo. My hometown is also in the countryside of Shikoku. We have a lot of this kind of saying over there, and."

Speaking of this, Yukino Mokari looked at Hojo Kyousuke and smiled slyly:

"Do you remember what I told you last night after school?"

What did you say?

Hojo Kyosuke quickly recalled Mitsuha Miyamizu's memo, but no matter how he thought about it, he had no relevant memory.

"Are you asking me to get along well with my classmates?" After thinking to no avail, he said casually.

"Haha, indeed, are you really a god?!"

Yukino Momori's excited voice looks even cuter. If you don't look at her mature appearance, she is just a cute little girl.

"Did you not actually talk to me after school last night?" Hojo Kyosuke guessed the truth right away.

"Bingo!"

"I'm not a god."

Although it was inevitable that Hojo Kyosuke would be found out about his headache, he didn't expect that the first person to find out was not his family, nor friends like Sayaka and Teishou, but teacher Yukino Mokarari, whom he had not been in contact with for a few times. .

"The Garden of Words", is it some kind of detective drama? Although the name doesn't sound like it, given the nerves of the Neon people, it's not surprising to choose a name.

Otherwise, why would Yukino Momoka be so sharp and know how to deceive him?

"Then what are you? A mountain elf? Or a demon? Or a fox demon?"

Yukino Mokari chirped, and the moment she heard Mitsuha Miyamizu admit it, she felt like her whole body was about to fly with joy.

However, she believed that the other party was a god. After all, how could anything else possess the witch?

Besides, neon gods are not very rare things. Haven’t you heard of eight million gods? Maybe Shibuya’s Hachiko has already become a god.

"Are not you afraid?"

Hojo Kyousuke asked strangely. It is understandable that Yukino Momori is not an Itomori, does not believe in Miyamizu Shrine, and does not believe in gods. But why did this woman think of so many strange things in an instant and her tone of voice was so pleasant?

"afraid of what?"

"I am an unknown being attached to Mitsuha Miyamizu's body. Maybe she will get tired of her body at some point and find you, a human who knows my secret."

"Haha, actually I was possessed when I was young."

Faced with the obviously threatening words of the unknown being using Mitsuha Miyamizu's body, Yukino Thyme still smiled, her crisp laughter full of happiness.

"Huh?" It's not a detective drama, it's possession?

"Actually, I don't know if it counts as possession."

While talking, the two of them had already walked to the playground.

"Shall we sit over there for a while?" Yukino Momoka asked expectantly.

"OK."

Hojo Kyosuke also wanted to hear her story, and wanted to ensure that this woman who knew part of his and Mitsuha's secrets would not cause trouble to Mitsuha Miyami's life.

"In the eastern wilderness, dawn rises. Turning around and looking back, the bright moon sets in the west.

This is a poem I saw in a classical literature class when I was in middle school, selected from the "Man'yoshu"

"Man'yoshu", "The Garden of Words", Italian restaurant? Hojo Kyosuke tried to find a connection, and Yukino Momoka over there continued to reminisce.

“Before I understood the meaning of this waka, the black printed characters on the textbook slowly melted away, and an incredible sight unfolded before my eyes.

The purple morning light rises in the distance over the grassland, and there is a small figure of a man riding a horse. Surrounding him was a gradated sky of pink, yellow, aqua, and blue. Where the sky met the mountain ridge, it seemed as if someone had added a lonely bright moon. "

Yukino Mokari used her excellent recitation skills as a classical Chinese teacher to speak this passage, making Hojo Kyosuke feel like he was actually involved in it.

“I’m sure I’ve never seen a scene like that, and what’s even more incredible is that the teacher Haranako who taught me classical Chinese at that time drew exactly the same scene with chalk on the blackboard!

After I told her about this, she told me that it might be because we were both possessed by Maro, the author of the poem. "

The woman's voice was full of nostalgia.

"That's it. Even if you are an unknown entity possessing Sanye's body, what is there to be afraid of? Everyone is somewhat abnormal anyway."

Um? Don't talk nonsense, I'm very normal.

After hearing these words, Hojo Kyosuke finally understood why Mr. Yukino would accept such unbelievable things so easily.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Before Hojo Kyousuke could speak, Yukino Momoka had already taken the initiative to mention this.

"Thank you very much. Let's go. It's time to go home."

After patting the dust on his skirt, Hojo Kyousuke stood up.

When the two came to the school gate and saw the man standing outside, his claws suddenly became numb again.

Toshiki Miyamizu, the mayor's father of Mitsuha Miyamizu, stood straight next to the pillar of the school gate. There is almost no one in the school now, and I don’t know how long the other party has been waiting there.

Yukino Mokari knew that it was Mitsuha Miyamizu's father. She glanced at Lord Akira worriedly, then walked aside and gave the space to the two of them.

Although he was curious as to why his daughter stayed so late at school with a female teacher, Toshiki Miyamizu nodded politely and said hello.

"Three leaves."

Because the relationship between father and daughter has been stiff for a long time, Toshiki Miyamizu seemed to be at work when he called his daughter.

"Father." Hojo Kyousuke walked in with a smile.

Father?

Miyamizu Toshiki frowned instantly, Mitsuba would not call him so respectfully. But now is not the time to dwell on this matter, the important thing is to figure it out.

"What's the story in town that you have truly inherited the shrine?"

"It's just like what you heard, father."

how could I know? I still want to ask you, Mitsuha Miyamizu didn't write it in the memo.

Still smiling and saying, someone didn't realize that everything was because of his actions, and he was still wondering in his heart at this moment.

"you……"

Toshiki Miyamizu was about to continue asking, but looking at his daughter's sincere little face, the color on his face faded in an instant.

"Who are you!"

The strength in his body seemed to be drained out of him in an instant. He staggered back a few steps, his face looked frightened, and he uttered three words in a difficult tone.

The person in front of him who looks exactly like his daughter is not his daughter at all! No, this is a monster in the skin of his daughter!

At this moment, Toshiki Miyamizu felt that he had finally glimpsed Itomori's reality.

The god that the Miyamizu family had worshiped for generations, the monster that killed Erye, was right in front of him at this moment, still occupying his daughter's body.

Erye was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. The townspeople who were indifferent to the news of Erye's death believed that his daughter's death was part of God's will... Endless painful memories wrapped him up.

When he came back to his senses, the monster occupying Mitsuba's body had disappeared before his eyes, and Toshiki Miyamizu returned to his residence in despair.

"If you're okay, I'll leave first."

Hojo Kyosuke looked at the cheap father who suddenly turned ugly, and did not intend to communicate with him more to avoid exposing his flaws and causing trouble for Mitsuha. After waiting for three seconds and seeing that the other party still didn't respond, he called on Yukino Mokari to step out of the way decisively.

"Is this really good?"

After walking for a while, I turned around and saw Toshiki Miyamizu still standing there, Yukino Momori said worriedly.

"What else can we do? I'm not familiar with him."

Since they were all comrades who had exchanged secrets, Hojo Kyosuke spoke much more casually.

"It seems so." Yukino Momori chuckled.

Hojo Kyosuke looked at this beautiful teacher strangely. He always felt that the other person seemed to be a few years younger mentally?

Before, although she always had a gentle smile, she always felt that she had a lot of worries.

The reality was not far from what he thought.

Knowing that there was a god living in the body of the girl next to her, Yukino Momoka was so happy that she almost flew into the air.

Since he is a god, he will not be subject to all kinds of filth in the world, right? Even the mountain wind and air in Itomori are not as holy and clean as those from the gods!

Because of the rumors, he fled back to his hometown in Shikoku from Tokyo, and because of the persistent rumors, he left his hometown and came to this backward and closed town.

Countless worries piled up in Yukino Momori's heart, and she forced herself to mature and stop being as childish as she was in Tokyo.

When I first came to Itomori, I heard people in the town talk about the various miraculous features of Miyamizu Shrine and the incredibleness of Mrs. Futaba.

She also went to worship with great hope, hoping that the gods could relieve her inner pain.

This is also the original intention of many people who believe in Jiao. When the pain of life becomes unbearable, they seek spiritual comfort and a paradise. Place your faith on empty gods and hope to forget the painful past.

However, when Yukino Momori climbed up the mountain to Miyamizu Shrine with great expectations, purified her hands devoutly, and made offerings, what she saw was still a false god.

Mrs. Futaba has passed away long ago, and there are only the elderly god master Ichiba and the pretendingly serious little miko Mitsuha Miyamizu in the shrine.

Hopes were dashed, but fortunately those rumors no longer pursued this closed town.

Therefore, there are advantages to being a little ignorant.

Yukino Mokari thought this way at the time, and now she must apologize for that thought. Because that is not ignorance, but that there are really gods protecting Itomori.

How lucky you are, Itomori. Of course, I'm lucky too!

Thinking that she had originally planned to enlighten Mitsuha Miyamizu and be her life mentor, Momoka made herself laugh.

When I was a student, Ms. Harinako came to save me. Now that I have become a teacher, I can meet a true god. I am so happy!

Walking on the road, looking at the god next to her, she wanted to confide all her thoughts to him, but she held back.

Be more reserved. In Baixiangli, there are no believers who can't wait to pray to the gods as soon as they arrive at the shrine. You haven't even offered the tribute yet, how ungrateful!

Yukino Mokari told herself this.

However, even if they just walked together quietly like this, her heart, which had been silent for a long time, became a little lighter.

"Sanye, that's where your home should go, right?"

After much struggle, Yukino Momoka still chose this title.

"Yes, but if you want to see somewhere else today, I'll take you home."

I came to Itomori so many times, but Hojo Kyousuke felt like he was home every time besides school. Even that guy Mitsuha Miyamizu had used his body to play everywhere, but he always felt that he was at a disadvantage.

"Oh, okay~"

Yukino Momori responded briskly, she couldn't be happier to be able to spend more time with Kami-sama. And automatically translated the words of the god into "I want to take a good look at this land."

As he walked, Hojo Kyousuke noticed something was wrong. How come he was almost at the edge of the town?

"Why is your home in such a remote place?"

"This is a house left by an old man who had no children. The town gave me free accommodation for me who came here to teach."

"Oh, that's pretty good."

"I was also given a piece of land, but I haven't cultivated it yet." Yukino Momikari added.

"Why not plant?" Hojo Kyosuke asked with great interest. The farming soul in him seemed to be awakening.

"Because I can't."

Bai Xiangli raised her arms and pulled back her sleeves, revealing her slender white wrists and her white palms that had not been eroded by chalk at all.

Well, it certainly doesn’t look like a working person.

"I'll plant it for you next time I come here." Someone who had only grown cherry radishes in a disposable lunch box in his life said boldly.

"This kind of thing..." Can the gods really do it?

"That `s a deal."

We walked to a railroad track and walked a little further along the railroad track to Yukino Momikari's home.

“Only trams pass through this track twice a day, so now you can walk on it with peace of mind.”

"There are only two trips. This is different from Tokyo." Hojo Kyosuke said casually.

Has Lord Kami's divine domain expanded to Tokyo? Thinking like this, Bai Xiangli immediately said:

"Yes, compared to Itomori's trains, the Tokyo subway can win the best employee award."

Neither of them spoke anymore, and they walked silently along the side of the railway track.

A gust of wind blew by, and in the uncultivated farmland next to the railway track, weeds that changed color and were taller than the calf swayed.

Hojo Kyosuke stopped and looked ahead.

This gust of wind was so sudden that all of Yukino Momori's hair was blown away. She stood beside the railway track and gently pressed her blown hair with one hand. The green skirt that I had no time to care about was slightly raised by the wind like the grass next to it.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the skirt was a knee-length skirt with only one corner raised, dancing in waves in the wind.

This sudden wind finally went away. Yukino Mokari combed her hair back, turned her head and said with a smile:

"The evening wind is so pleasant."

I always feel like that gust of wind just took away something.

Looking at Yukino Momori who didn't feel the spring breeze was disturbing at all, and recalling the beautiful scene just now, Hojo Kyosuke wanted to use a few words to praise it, but he didn't have much education.

The flowers are really blooming - what a sorrow, I can't open my poetry bag.

"Yes, just like you Yukino."

Mitsuha Miyamizu's voice was full of magnetism and hoarseness, and now that she said such words, Yukino Mokari's face immediately turned red visibly.

"My home is right in front." He turned his head hurriedly to hide his shyness.

It was a traditional Japanese building with a large flat floor and a pointed roof.

"Is this house really not leaking?" Hojo Kyosuke expressed doubts.

"It happens when it rains heavily. In fact, the most common items in my house are basins and buckets, which are specially used to catch leaking water on rainy days."

If the rainwater is not caught, the spreading rainwater will soak the rest of the house.

"Let me help you fix it when I have time."

Hojo Kyosuke said in a comprehensive manner that although he didn't know how to do it, Mitsuha Miyamizu's friend, Tashi's family, ran a construction company.

It's so pitiful that a person went to teach in a countryside like this and still lived in a place like this. No wonder she was so happy after meeting me.

"Thank you~" Yukino Momori smiled softly.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

"Well, see you next time."

"See you next time."

After returning to Miyamizu's house, before Hojo Kyosuke had time to eat, his grandmother called him over, put on a miko's clothes, and went to a small room next to the main hall of the shrine.

There was a very bright incandescent lamp burning in the room, so it was very bright.

An aunt she had seen during the day was kneeling in front of a shrine. When she saw Hojo Kyosuke coming in, she quickly stood up and bowed, calling "Miss Mitsuha".

Before Hojo Kyosuke could figure out what was going on, his grandmother pushed him down on a futon in front of the shrine and sat down on his knees.

It's the kind of "sitting upright" that makes people feel uncomfortable with their hips on their ankles, their upper body straight, and their hands neatly placed on their knees.

He was already ready to sit down and endure the torture, but he didn't expect that Mitsuha Miyamizu's body seemed to be very familiar with this sitting position, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all after sitting down.

Kazuyo Miyamizu left after bringing him in.

Although the room was lit with the incandescent lamps of modern civilization, the rising sandalwood, the shrine behind him, and the unknown murals on the walls all gave Hojo Kyousuke a sense of trance as he had entered another world.

"Miss Mitsuha, my son is about to graduate from high school. I would like to ask you whether it would be better for him to go to a big city for development in the future, or to stay in Itomori."

Um?

Is my emotional mentor Kyousuke Hojo about to be upgraded to a life mentor? Why didn't this part happen several times before? Has Miyamizu Mitsuha expanded his business again?

She's pretty capable, this little witch.

Thinking like this, Hojo Kyosuke also quickly started thinking. She couldn't mess up the business that he could finally expand.

What can I do if I stay in Itomori? Farming?

Thinking of the weedy and barren fields on both sides of the railway tracks that he saw when sending Yukino Momikari home, Hojo Kyousuke first rejected this option.

Of course, that's to go to a big city. Young people today wouldn't want to stay in a small place like this, right? After all, even Mitsuha Miyamizu, the heir to the ancient Itomori Shrine, was having a great time in Tokyo, not to mention the others.

After thinking clearly, Hojo Kyousuke said:

"Of course it's better to go to a big city. Your children probably think so too."

"Is that so? Sukeya does prefer big cities."

The aunt whose family grows special-grade watermelons that are exported to Tokyo thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and decided to give her son one-tenth of the money the family makes from selling watermelons every year to start a business in a big city. Even if it fails in the end, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

But since Miss Sanye said so, she will definitely not fail.

After thanking her again and again, the aunt walked out of the house.

Hojo Kyosuke rubbed his chin, feeling that what he said should be pretty good.

Wait, this aunt seems to have delivered watermelon in the morning.

"This is just an ordinary watermelon. In July, I will bring a special watermelon for worship."

He remembered what the other party said, and felt like there was something wrong?

Before he could continue thinking, an old lady walked in.

"Miss Sanye, my son is too unfilial."

Although it is a bit immoral, it seems that the story meeting has begun, and Hojo Kyosuke begins to think that this is an interesting job.

"What's wrong, Granny Xiao Lin?" The person who spoke was Granny Xiao Lin, who ran a grocery store in a small town and rode an electric three-wheeler every day.

"That unfilial son, he actually limited the speed of my tricycle to ten kilometers per hour."

Well done! He had thought before that it was too dangerous for an old man to ride so fast. A certain boss of the Bosozoku clan thought so.

"That's too much. Don't you know that every minute and every second of the old man's life is precious?" Hojo Kyosuke held the old man's wrinkled hand and said sincerely.

"Yeah..." The old man rambled on about the various troubles his old body encountered.

five minutes later

"I know, I will be more careful when riding in the future. Thank you very much, Miss Sanye." With a satisfied smile on his face, the old man bowed with difficulty with a hunched body.

Hojo Kyosuke, who used one-ninth of Sakura's strength to coax the old man to comfort, helped the old woman Kobayashi to the door. Looking at the two-digit people lining up in the corridor, the life instructor Hojo's face suddenly turned pale.

…

Another time and space, Tokyo, Dongcheng Middle School.

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who thought she could happily enjoy life in Tokyo again today, was hit in the head as soon as she arrived at school.

"What? Quiz!"

Hasn't Hojo Kyosuke solved this damn exam yet? Why didn't he pass all the exams if he studied so well? Miyami Mitsuha wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Yes, didn't you notify me early? And with your ability, didn't you just take the exam casually?"

Kisaki Tetsu said strangely, here we come, today’s eldest brother spoke with that strange accent again.

Sitting back on the chair with a numb face, Mitsuha Miyamizu held a gel pen, with a serious expression like a criminal waiting for trial.

The first test was Mandarin, Mitsuha Miyamizu's favorite language. She breathed a sigh of relief after getting the test paper. Although many of Itomori's schools have not taught ancient poetry due to different textbooks, but because she has a father who is a former folklorist, she has loved reading since she was a child, so her accumulation in this area is considerable.

A Mandarin test calmed Miyamizu Mitsuha's uneasy heart. She thought whether Tetsuta Saki's exercise book was just bought by him to improve himself. In fact, the average level of this school in Dongcheng is not that good. Not necessarily high.

With such expectations, Miyamizu Mitsuha faced her most feared math test.

The moment she saw the test paper, she wanted to punch herself unconscious and try to see if she could return to her body immediately and summon Hojo Kyosuke back to face the terrifying test paper.

The test questions were indeed not as difficult as Tetsuta Kirisaki had asked her for advice, but they were not something that a science geek like her could solve.

Until the end of the exam, Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't turn over the test paper and look at the scenery behind it. No, it would be better to say that she couldn't even finish a quarter of it.

It’s lunch break.

Miyamizu Mitsuha turned her grief and anger into appetite and ate two large bowls of beef udon noodles and three peaches.

"Hojo, why didn't you finish your math paper?"

Kisaki Tetsu couldn't bear it any longer, but still asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was sleeping on a recliner and was preparing to sleep to make up for the pain caused by the exam, stiffened.

What should I do? It’s been discovered that I’m a bad student! Why don't you silence Kisaki? He will never be able to defeat Hojo Kyousuke's body anyway.

In his wild thoughts, Mitsuha Miyamizu closed his eyes tightly, planning to pretend to be dead and deal with it.

There is also English in the afternoon. Mitsuha Miyamizu will soon be able to see how big the difference is between the English teaching level in a junior high school in a rural town and a junior high school in a prestigious private school in Tokyo.

In a daze, the girl seemed to have fallen into a dreamland, and her body seemed to be flying upwards, crossing the Tokyo buildings, crossing the forests and rivers, crossing time and space.

She saw the girl with a smile on her face, answering the questions of believers one after another in a gentle tone. Only during breaks would she reveal her deep exhaustion and despair.

Haha, who is she, so miserable.

The girl thought so, smiled, and was suddenly awakened by a vibration of her cell phone.

Why did my phone vibrate to wake me up instead of an earthquake? That way I wouldn't have to take another exam.

Struggling to sit up, he crossed off the alarm clock.

Tetsuta Kisaki was no longer around, probably looking for a place to memorize words. Mitsuha Miyamizu originally wanted to make an emergency attack, but she gave up after trying for three seconds.

Arriving in the classroom, the teacher handed out English test papers. Looking at the test papers, Miyamizu Mitsuha's eyes suddenly widened.

Thank you all for your monthly votes. By the way, I would like to ask for another batch of guaranteed monthly votes. Thank you.
