Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 168 Are you going to meet your parents now?

Hojo Kyousuke spent this night singing. For some reason, after hearing the words "see you tomorrow" from Shishi and Sayaka, he had a strong premonition - they would also switch bodies tomorrow!

Living in such a world, he firmly believed in the premonitions that suddenly popped up in his head, just like when he first saw Glass, he guessed which "villain" Shoya Ishida was.

So just in case, he practiced the songs he was going to sing for the exam in a remote temple of the shrine all night long. Fortunately, it wasn't a professional exam, and the songs he chose were just catchy songs from textbooks. He followed the songs he found online and made a song that was about 80 or 90% similar.

Sure enough, I said, as long as the tongue, exhalation, and mouth shape are exactly the same, how can I not learn it?

With such pride, Hojo Kyosuke covered his head with a quilt and fell asleep.

Buzz buzz——

There was a familiar vibrating sound, but the sound was a bit dull and not as crisp as before on the wooden bedside table.

In summary, Mitsuha Miyamizu is still in her body today. Because her phone is on the soft tatami, it vibrates without energy.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Hojo Kyousuke stretched his head out from the quilt. Sure enough, the sun was already shining in through the glass window, and the tatami under him was not the wooden bed in the Kushiro hotel.

Music exam, luckily I was prepared!

Looking at himself neatly dressed in the full-length mirror in front of him, Hojo Kyosuke showed a confident smile. Wearing leggings, you no longer have to worry about wind getting in while walking.

Because he set the alarm clock, Hojo Kyosuke had time to prepare breakfast for his grandmother and Yotsuba after getting up. Looking at the always rich variety of fresh vegetables in the kitchen, he felt a little envious. He didn't even have to go to the vegetable market.

Hojo Kyosuke had set the timer for the rice cooker last night. He had discovered before that the Miyamizu rice cooker had this function. Open the refrigerator and take out the sweet potato dumplings you brought back from Yukino yesterday. You can eat them directly by just leaving them outside to return to room temperature. Then Hojo Kyosuke simply cooked three dishes and went to call Yotsuba to eat.

"Sister, are you still going to Xueno's house today?"

When they were saying goodbye at the intersection, Yotsuba asked expectantly. Yesterday she thought the rain was so sudden that she didn't even have time to share her new car with Yukino.

"Today, I'm not sure. Anyway, you go home first. I'll call you if you want to go." Hojo Kyosuke thought for a while and said, as expected, he will continue to repair Yukino's house today.

"Okay, bye, sis."

"Goodbye, sister."

"younger sister?"

Looking at her sister walking away with a smile, Yotsuba touched the braid on her head and was a little dumbfounded. Although her sister occasionally gets weird, today was definitely the weirdest! First, when braiding her own hair, she simply made two braids and looked very proud, and now she actually called her sister!

Touching the handshake of the bicycle, Yotsuba felt that she was dreaming now. She owned a bicycle and was called sister by her sister! This is so happy!

"Good morning, Yotsuba!" A girl wearing a yellow floral skirt came to Yotsuba and shouted happily.

"Good morning, Yumei. Come up here and I'll take you to school together." Yotsuba immediately put aside her previous doubts when she saw her friend and said excitedly.

"Um!"

Looking at the school gate three hundred meters ahead, Toda Yumei happily sat in the back seat.

Soon, the music exam belonging to Hojo Kyosuke ended.

"Miss Mitsuha, even if you are trying to help others, you must take care of your body and protect your voice. I will be very worried if you do this." The gray-haired music teacher followed suit and walked Kyousuke Hojo to the door of the classroom, with a smile on his face. Worry.

"Yeah, thank you for your trouble. I will pay attention to rest." Hojo Kyosuke tried his best to maintain the smile on his face and bowed to express his thanks.

After closing the door, he looked at his two friends with concerned faces in the corridor and gave a thumbs up, showing his white teeth.

I will never sing again. Music is really abstract. Just now in the office, he opened his mouth to sing a sentence and was immediately stopped by the music teacher, who thought his voice was broken...

There were no classes in the school in the afternoon, and the students were playing casually on campus. Hojo Kyosuke, Yukino and Sayaka came to the usual place and chatted all afternoon. During this period, Yukino helped Hojo Kyosuke braid his hair again like he did at home last time. The exquisite workmanship made Sayaka feel envious. You must know that she doesn't wear two braids every day just because the braids are beautiful.

She also wants to have nice braids, but she really can’t learn them!

School was finally over, and he was about to go back to the shrine to call Yotsuba to go to Yukino's house to continue yesterday's repair work, when he saw Mitsuha Miyamizu's father at the school gate.

The middle-aged man was wearing a black suit and his hair was neatly combed back. After seeing himself and Xueye, he first nodded politely at Xueye and smiled, then looked at himself and pointed to the other side.

"Yukio, you should go home first. It seems that I can't help you repair your house today." Hojo Kyosuke first nodded to Toshiki Miyamizu, and then said to Yukino with a smile.

"Mitsuha, let's leave first." The envoy and Sayaya Kaoyu had always been afraid of the stern Toshiki Miyamizu, but now they bowed to each other, said hello to Hojo Kyosuke and ran away.

Hojo Kyosuke took a deep breath, it was time to meet his parents! It seems to be a tough battle. Although he didn't know why the other party came to see him, he knew that a man must not be stage frightened when facing such an invitation.

Miyamizu Toshiki had already walked to the right of the school gate. Hojo Kyosuke followed him and found a black Toyota car parked there. He was about to bow and say hello when he heard the other party speaking and using strange honorifics:

"Please get in the car."

Hojo Kyosuke was stunned for a moment. Are all Itomori's fathers so polite to their daughter's male friends? Or is this a Nara custom? This should be the case. Perhaps the city that was the first capital of Neon and still retains many elements of the Tang Dynasty still uses ancient rituals.

So Hojo Kyosuke nodded reservedly and got into the car.

"You can drive, Kouta, to my residence." After closing the car door, Toshiki Miyamizu said to the driver in front of him.

"Yes, Mayor Miyamizu."

Although it is a rural road, it is still well maintained and there are no bumps in the car's journey. The car was unusually quiet, with only the faint sound of the engine. The two people sitting in the back row have somewhat similar postures. They both sit upright with their hands on their thighs.

Toshiki Miyamizu used his peripheral vision to quietly observe the existence next to him that looked the same as his daughter. Ever since he last encountered the monster named "God" that occupied his daughter's body, he had been unable to concentrate for a long time. .

If it were something as concrete as Miyamizu Shrine, he could replace it with a modern administrative system, destroy this ignorant belief, and even completely renovate this ancient town.

But when the god really appeared in front of him, Toshiki Miyamizu found that he was so scared that he was trembling all over and couldn't do anything.

During this period of time, he took various opportunities to give lectures in schools, examine agriculture in the town, and other opportunities. He observed the pony-tailed god many times, and then he was horrified to find that the god seemed to be further occupying him. daughter's body. Because the god's ponytail can actually change. Just like today, when he went out in the morning, it was still a braided braid, but now it has become quite delicate.

However, he also discovered that this god did not always occupy his daughter's body. There were still many times when his daughter took the lead. Moreover, the more things he observed, the more changes he found in his daughter, and the more confused he became. Things seemed to be different from what he imagined. This god actually made a bicycle for his little daughter?

But one thing is for sure, Sanye is slowly turning into two leaves! In fact, the townspeople seemed to respect Sanye more than Erye. Absolutely not! He will never allow this to happen. If it really turns out to be like that, then what is the purpose of all his hard work!

Therefore, when he realized that Sanye was still possessed by the gods, he panicked. In the past, it was only one day at most, but today it has been two days in a row. This is obviously a sign that the situation has worsened. I can no longer sit still and wait for death. Even if this god is not as evil as I thought, I still have to figure out what happened!

So Toshiki Miyamizu cheered up, came to Itomori Middle School, and found Him.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't know that the man next to him actually had such rich psychological activities. He was also observing the surroundings with his peripheral vision and felt strange at the moment. Is the air conditioning temperature in the car too high? Why does Mitsuha Miyamizu's father seem to be sweating from the heat?

"Do you need me to open the window a little?" After thinking about it, he asked politely.

The sudden sound startled Toshiki Miyamizu, who was constantly simulating the conversation in his mind. He couldn't help but turn sideways and look at the god in horror.

Hojo Kyosuke was also startled by the other party's reaction. Is it fertilizing outside? But it seems that he has not seen any fertilization since he brought Ito Shou here for so long. If it doesn't open, it won't open. As for the reaction, is it so big?

"Ahem, thank you, no need, I'll be here soon."

Toshiki Miyamizu also realized that his reaction was a little too big. He looked in the rearview mirror of the car. The driver Aida Kouta also looked over with concern. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Even among the Neon people, Hojo Kyousuke had only seen Toshiki Miyamizu who was so polite to his juniors, which surprised him.

Just like Toshiki Miyamizu said, although his residence is on the other side of Lake Itomori, he still arrived very quickly.

"Then I'll take my leave first." The driver Aida Kouta bowed.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Toshiki Miyamizu smiled gently.

"No, Mayor, you ride your bicycle by yourself every day after get off work. I'm so scared."

"Haha, I wish I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Itomori every moment. Riding a bicycle is just convenient for me to think about the future development of the town."

"That's amazing. You really deserve to be the mayor of Miyamizu." Aida Kouta showed admiration, then turned to Mitsuha Miyamizu and bowed deeply at 90 degrees:

"Miss Sanye, I'll take my leave now. If you need a car to go home later, you can call me and let me know. My mother will be happy to come."

After bowing slightly to Miyamizu Toshiki again, Aida Kouta got into the car and drove away.

Looking at the black car going away, Toshiki Miyamizu's gentle smile suddenly collapsed. What he just saw made this man feel depressed. Even the driver, who was his confidant, was still surrounded by this net. But then he cheered up again. No matter what, he would destroy this belief, even if it was not for the dead Erye, but also for his daughter. But first thing you need to do is...

"Please come in." He forced a smile on his face and stepped forward to open the door.

"Excuse me." Hojo Kyosuke, who was inwardly amazed by the politician's powerful expression, said politely.

Arriving at the reception room, Hojo Kyosuke was surprised to find that there was no furniture at all, let alone a TV, not even a sofa or coffee table, only two futons.

Following Toshiki Miyamizu's guidance, he knelt down on the futon. Thanks to Mitsuha Mitsuha's extremely flexible body, if it had been him, he would have sat down cross-legged.

"Tea, please." It was still a strange honorific.

"Thank you." Hojo Kyosuke took the green tea cup that seemed to be full of cracks.

The two people sitting facing each other fell into silence for a while. The serious expression on the man opposite made Hojo Kyosuke wonder whether he would pull out a rifle from his back and perform an American-style Iai. Just kidding, how is that possible? This is neon. It would be a Japanese-style Iai.

In his wild thoughts, Hojo Kyosuke was able to take a closer look at the mayor Itomori, who was the most resolute, enterprising, and made the most reforms in history.

Judging from Mitsuha Miyami's age, Toshiki Miyamizu should be only in his forties, but Kyousuke Hojo remembered that the last time he saw him, his hair was already a little gray, but this time it was completely black. , it seems to have been dyed. Yes, as a politician, image is very important.

The nasolabial folds are very heavy, and it seems that he has a lot of troubles in daily life. His eyebrows are always wrinkled, and he looks quite stern. No wonder Shishi and Sayaka are as scared when they see him, like a mouse seeing a cat. But overall he looks like a handsome middle-aged guy. No wonder he has a beautiful daughter like Mitsuha Miyamizu.

But why are we sitting here now? Seeing that the other party still didn't speak, Hojo Kyousuke, who didn't know what to say, began to think about the ultimate problem of mankind.

"Excuse me, how should I call you?" Toshiki Miyamizu put down the tea cup in his hand, put his hands on his knees, his back was straight, and his buttocks were sitting upright on his heels. When he spoke, he felt a little nervous because he was too nervous. Trembling slightly.

Hojo Kyousuke slowly put down the tea cup, raised his head and looked at the man opposite, and then suddenly laughed.

He won't say silly things like "I am Mitsuha Miyamizu." Since the other party asked this question, he naturally knows what happened to his daughter, and he is not the so-called god of the townspeople. The possessed one said. But it can also be understood as asking himself the name of the god possessing his daughter, right? No wonder I used strange honorifics before.

Within a few tenths of a second, Hojo Kyosuke figured everything out.

"Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am Hojo Kyosuke, your daughter's friend." In order to prevent the other party from getting angry and killing him after knowing the truth, Hojo Kyosuke bowed in a kneeling style that he had never used before. The upper body is tilted at about thirty degrees.

Hojo Kyosuke?

As a former folklorist, Toshiki Miyamizu immediately ruled out the idea that this was the honorable name of a god. Is it the name of a human body? But if he uses Hojo as his surname, is he the Star God or the Textile God? As for Hojo, the only thing that can come to mind is the wealthy family in the Kanto region. No, the other party is a god, maybe he uses the name from the Kamakura Shogunate era...

"I am a human, a human named Hojo Kyosuke. For unknown reasons, I am currently in a state of exchanging bodies with your daughter."

Seeing that after he finished speaking, the other party not only did not relax at all, but instead frowned more and more tightly, Hojo Kyousuke knew that the other party was starting to think about it, so he said quickly.

"Swap bodies?"

After hearing this word, Toshiki Miyamizu raised his head and looked at Hojo Kyousuke in horror.

"Why, have you experienced this too?"

Hojo Kyosuke asked. The longer he got along with his grandmother Miyamizu Kazuha, the more he felt that everyone in the Miyamizu family might have this ability. This was why he had previously determined that it was another force that allowed him to switch bodies with Miyamizu Mitsuha. . As someone who lives under the same roof every day, Yotsuba is easy to fool at a young age. But there was no reason why Kazuyo Miyamizu couldn't see that something was wrong with her, but every time she showed that something was wrong, her grandmother would just smile and drink tea without saying anything.

And by reading the teachings of Miyamizu Shrine, he also saw many things that were not different from Shintoism in other places...

"No, just, are you saying that my daughter is also in your body at this moment?" Toshiki Miyamizu did think of something just now, but at this moment his mind was confused by the news.

"Yes."

"Then can you call my daughter? I mean, use my cell phone to call your body."

"No, once you want to tell the people around you about the relevant information there, you will be blocked by a force."

"Then why did you ask me if I had experienced it too?" Miyamizu Toshiki grasped the key point. Although what the other party said was bizarre, it always gave him a sense of déjà vu, and memories of the past kept flooding into his mind.

"Because I guess people from the Miyamizu family should be born with this kind of talent." Then Hojo Kyosuke told his guess about Miyamizu Kazuyo, as well as some of the teachings he saw.

In the teachings of Miyamizu Shrine, all things in the world are regarded as gods. To be precise, the connection between all things is regarded as gods, which is also called "knot". The rice balls themselves are not gods, but the connection between the person who makes the rice balls and the person who eats the rice balls becomes a god, which is the "knot".

"'Knot'? In other words, the exchange between you and Mitsuye is also a 'knot'. No, maybe you are not exchanging bodies, but you are dreaming. After all, people cannot clearly understand themselves when they are dreaming. This is also It means that when you say you want to tell people around you about yourself, you will be stopped by a force..."

Hojo Kyosuke raised his head, and then Toshiki Miyamizu started talking non-stop. But, dreaming? He squeezed his hand, and the real touch came. Not to mention this, the cursors he saw on Yukino's head and Sayaka's head were definitely not fake. To some extent, the system could also be used as his coordinates to anchor the world.

As expected of a folklorist, I just like these fascinating things.

"Mr. Miyamizu, now is not the time to care about that." He interrupted. If he didn't say anything, the man opposite might go to Miyamizu Shrine to read the information.

"So, you are not the god worshiped by Miyamizu Shrine anymore?" Toshiki Miyamizu stopped his rapidly spinning head and confirmed again.

"Yes, there is no doubt that I am a human being." Although it may be too strong in some places, human beings are inherently good at pushing limits.
