This, this, this is impossible!
The store manager used my body to go to the toilet and such.
Doesn't that mean you've been completely exposed?
特别
Especially that place...
Mitsuha blushed and quickly looked away!
No!
The store manager absolutely must not see this!
Miyamizu Mitsuha seemed to have made up her mind.
"Manager, let's skip class!"
"what?"
Even Aoba couldn't keep up with Mitsuha's thought process.
"now?"
"Well, let's go somewhere where there might be a solution."
Mitsuha nodded firmly.
Itomori Town.
Miyamizu Shrine.
What comes into view is a rather large two-story wooden building, with blue tiles that complement the surrounding plants.
Are all people who run shrines this rich?
Upon seeing the shrine, Aoba couldn't help but sigh.
If this mansion were in Tokyo, it would be worth at least a billion yen.
"Let's go quickly."
Mitsuha, who had already flown up the steps, shouted.
Aoba quickly caught up with Mitsuha and was about to ask a question.
As a result, a kind and capable-looking old lady came out of the shrine.
"Mitsuba? It's not time for school to end yet."
The old woman's voice startled Aoba.
They took a few steps up the stairs and looked inside.
She wore simple shrine loungewear and looked several years younger.
He recognized it.
She is the aunt of Aunt Meiqi, whom I met before.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I've run into Grandma!"
Mitsuha was also having a bit of a headache.
My grandma caught me skipping school for the first time.
"Grandma, I'm back because I have something to do."
Aoba tried to get away with it by acting.
After all, they are family members with whom we spend every day; we can't just fool them like we would with classmates.
"Ok?"
Miyamizu Ichiyo, wearing reading glasses, turned her sharp gaze directly towards them.
"hurry up!"
Mitsuha whispered in Aoba's ear, her face showing great anxiety.
"Grandma, I have some things to do, so I'll be going now."
Aoba could only pretend to be in a hurry and follow Mitsuha as they ran into the shrine.
And behind him.
Miyamizu Ichiyo looked meaningfully at the spot in front of Aoba.
The sharp gaze softened.
He reverted to his kind demeanor, shook his head with a smile, and walked outside.
The sacrificial ceremony is in two days.
She still needs to prepare some things.
"Whoo~"
Mitsuha stopped to catch her breath when they reached a palace inside the shrine.
Can the soul get tired?
Aoba looked at the girl with amusement.
Miyamizu Mitsuha rolled her eyes in exasperation:
"I'm used to it. Grandma saw it just now, and I'll definitely get a scolding later."
The girl sighed deeply, her face a mixture of helplessness and regret.
"So you called me here, what's the solution?"
Aoba looked around.
In front of the palace, there are wishing boxes, which are common in the area.
All you need to do is pull the rope and drop in a coin to make a wish to the gods.
It's a fairly common type of building in shrines.
"By the way, Miyamizu-san, what god does your family's shrine enshrine?"
Aoba was a little curious.
Miyamizu Mitsuha awkwardly touched her cheek and raised an eyebrow: "Actually, I'm not quite sure either."
"But my grandmother said that this place was formed by a meteor falling from the sky a long time ago, and it might be the god of meteors."
"Liu Yiling Yin Qi 4 Wu Jiu # Jiu Ba Yue Yi Xing? That sounds very romantic."
"Huh?! The store manager actually finds this romantic?!"
"Hmm, doesn't Miyamizu-san think so?"
"well enough."
Mitsuha smiled as usual, a smile she hadn't shown in a long time.
"By the way, the place we need to go is just behind us."
The girl, looking mysterious, led Qingye towards the back of the palace.
Aoba followed closely behind.
Behind the palace.
It is a small hill with a slight slope.
It's not tall, only a few dozen meters.
You can reach the top of the hill by going through a long-neglected doorway.
When Mitsuha, who was the first to fly to the top of the mountain, waved to Aoba.
A ray of sunlight fell on her.
The transparent body was bathed in a warm glow.
"Come on!"
A girl's melodious voice rang out.
Qingye controlled her body and climbed up to stand firmly.
Look up—
The distant horizon, resembling a soaring dragon, shone brightly, and the sunlight shone upon the two of them.
The view from the mountaintop.
The entire landscape of Itomori is laid out before you.
The lake in the center, like a tear of the blue sky, shimmered with diamond-like brilliance under the sunlight.
"Hehe, isn't it pretty?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha opened her arms to welcome this wonderful moment.
The girl seemed to have not been this relaxed in a long time, and let out a long sigh.
Aoba nodded in agreement.
It's really beautiful!
The small town where the girl lived seemed perfect. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
While it lacks the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, it also lacks the noise and busyness of Tokyo.
Not to mention...
Aoba didn't sense any yokai, monsters, or ghouls here.
You could say this is a small but beautiful paradise.
"Miyamizu-san."
"Hmm? What's wrong, manager?"
