"It was just about saving Itomori Town from the impact of a meteorite from outer space."

"Oh...huh?"

Amano Hina subconsciously responded, then realized what she meant, her pupils contracting in shock as she said in disbelief.

"The impact of a meteorite from outer space? The meteorite you're talking about... you wouldn't happen to be one of those meteorites that fell from space, would you?"

Ye Xing rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Thank you so much, Amano-kun, for explaining the definition of a meteorite to me again. It wasn't very helpful, but thank you for your hard work."

Hina Amano did not show any smile at Yohoshi's words. Instead, she had a complicated expression, her lips trembling slightly, unsure of what to say.

Meteorite from outer space?

Are you serious?

Hina Amano knew that Yosei was the strongest among all the Ability Users of the Xyz Society, and might even be much stronger than all the members combined.

But... how do we fight against a meteorite impact capable of destroying a town?

This is absolutely insane!

This is not an evil spirit or a ghost.

That was a natural disaster!!!

Do you, Night Star, not know how the dinosaurs went extinct?

Hina Amano really wanted to say everything that was on her mind.

But when he saw Ye Xing's extremely calm expression, he couldn't utter a single word.

"Three leaves."

Yoru looked at Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was sitting opposite him in a daze, and asked with a smile.

"By the way, how do I get into Itomori Town?"

"Huh? Oh, this..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha snapped out of her reverie, looked at the scenery rushing past the window, and murmured in response.

"The Shinkansen doesn't go directly to the town, since it's a town in the mountains. After you get off at the station, walk a few hundred meters forward to a bus stop where buses run to and from the town."

"walk slowly."

Ye Xing nodded seriously, then added a sentence.

"I didn't hear a word you said, just lead the way."

"Huh? I'll lead the way? But..."

Looking at Miyamizu Mitsuha who looked completely bewildered, Yohoshi commented.

"I think you completely misunderstand the current situation. Right now, you're just a spirit."

"what!?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha's expression changed abruptly. She stood up abruptly, looked down at her hands, and said in disbelief.

"I am dead?"

"It's not that you're dead, it's just that I'm helping you find your way. When we get back to Itomori, you can go back into your own body."

At this point, Ye Xing pointed to the remaining passengers in the carriage.

"You just shouted and yelled, did anyone notice you? That's because ordinary people can't observe spirits."

Miyamizu Mitsuha paused for a moment, looking at Yohoshi and Amano Hina in front of her.

"Then why can you two see me?"

Upon hearing this question, Hina Amano was also taken aback.

She suddenly realized something.

Yes, why can I see Mitsuha Miyamizu as a spirit, and those red threads floating in the air?

Although she has the ability to control the weather to clear up or bring down torrential rain, she is not a true psychic like Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, or others who have awakened the ability to materialize their souls.

So why am I able to... to use Rio Futaba's terminology, to "observe"?

"Because we are psychics, Stand users, exorcists, Onmyoji, pioneers in the fight against the supernatural, wielders of Persona abilities, the lifelong rivals of the famous swords of Sakura Province, members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, genin of Konoha Village, Devil Fruit users, and wielders of Zanpakuto..."

"You can interpret it however you like, just know that we are not considered ordinary people."

Miyamizu Mitsuha was completely bewildered.

However, as someone from a family of priestesses, her ability to accept such things is clearly much higher than that of ordinary people.

Judging from the current situation, I may have been summoned by a deity.

The purpose is...

Lead the way for the two people in front of you and welcome them into Itomori Town.

Miyamizu Mitsuha was filled with mixed emotions, but judging from Yohoshi's words, it seemed that she had made some kind of deal with the god that her family's shrine had worshipped for generations, and it was also related to the safety of the entire Itomori town. At this moment, she could not care about anything else.

"Okay, I will lead the way for you."

Just as Miyamizu Mitsuha finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the sky outside the window had darkened.

The rain poured down on the ground, and even though you couldn't hear the sound through the window, you could imagine how heavy the rain was.

Moreover, the rain was visibly intensifying.

"This is..."

Amano Hina frowned slightly and spoke softly to Yohoshi.

"I didn't do this."

"I know."

Ye Xing rested his right arm there, supporting half of his face with one hand, looking out the window and chuckling as if he were sitting in a classroom at Soubu High School.

"It seems they're getting desperate."

Hina Amano knew that Yosei was referring to the god who controlled the weather, and she couldn't help but look worried.

"You can still laugh?"

"This is something to be happy about."

"Something to be happy about? You're getting abstract again?"

“This time it’s different.”

Ye Xing smiled and shook his head, then slowly began to speak.

"His desperation shows that our target is indeed in Itomori Town, but it's just a desperate struggle, nothing to worry about."

Hina Amano sighed slightly, thinking that if it were just a desperate act by an ordinary person, then so be it.

But now, the one who's desperate is a truly powerful being capable of influencing the weather throughout the entire Sakura Province, whether you call it a god or an evil spirit.

Could this existing hostility simply be a matter of the next downpour?

Amano Hina's heart grew heavier and heavier.

........

When the train arrived at the platform, Amano Hina looked around at the remote surroundings and the vast, seemingly endless wasteland not far away, and was completely dumbfounded.

"Is...Itomori Town even more remote than here?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha patted Amano Hina on the shoulder, looking quite emotional.

"It's normal for someone from a big city like you to find it difficult to adjust at first."

Miyamizu Mitsuha sighed, a complex look appearing in her eyes, and murmured to herself.

Even I haven't gotten used to it yet...

Looking at the continuous downpour outside the platform, Miyamizu Mitsuha frowned and looked at Yohoshi and Amano Hina.

"With such heavy rain, driving on the mountain road is very dangerous. The buses to town must be stopped. What should we do now?"

"What a hassle..."

Night Star, with a somewhat languid expression, muttered to himself.

"If Futaba were here, I would have thought about this for a long time. It's too much trouble."

Then, he looked at the increasingly torrential rain outside the platform and said in a calm tone.

"Judging from that guy's abilities, maintaining a rainstorm of this magnitude for a day, or even four or five consecutive days, is no problem at all."

At this point, Yohoshi asked Miyamizu Mitsuha.

"With this kind of rain, can the road connecting your town of Itomori to the outside world hold out for this long?"

"this..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"While I'm not entirely sure, as far as I know, Itomori Town has never experienced such torrential rain before. If it continues for a long time, the roads leading to the outside world will definitely be cut off, and there's a more serious possibility..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha gazed into the distance at the mountain peaks that were faintly visible at the edge of her vision, and said with a worried expression.

“If a rainstorm of this magnitude were to last for four or five days, or even just one or two days, there is a high probability that it would cause flash floods. At that point, it would be more than just a matter of road closures.”

"I thought the same thing as you."

Ye Xing nodded, then spoke to the empty air beside him.

"You should start thinking of something, shouldn't you? If Itomori Town is destroyed by the flash flood before the meteorite hits, then what you've done will have been meaningless, won't it?"

As if in response to him, the red threads reappeared and quickly formed a sentence.

“My strength doesn’t lie in this area. I do have the ability to protect the area around Itomori Town, but doing so might consume too much of my power and prevent me from giving you the answer you want.”

"is it?"

Night Star nodded noncommittally, not believing that the god who had always been friendly and protected Itomori Town was deliberately feigning weakness.

What the other party said is most likely true.
