In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"Dingling bell~"

"This is......"

Miyamizu Ichiyo's expression suddenly changed. She saw that last night, on the knot that was only half-finished, a few red threads had fluttered slightly. But when she looked again, they had returned to their original state, as if it were just an illusion.

An ordinary person would simply think they were seeing things.

But Miyamizu Ichiyo, as a shrine maiden, would not have such thoughts.

Everything happening around us is a revelation from the gods.

The wind chimes tinkled even without wind, and the red silk threads floated on their own...

The deity wants to tell me something.

Just as Miyamizu Ichiyo was thinking this, she suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from outside the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Miyamizu Ichiyo slowly stood up, noticing that her granddaughter Mitsuha was moving faster than her, as if she already knew someone would come to visit, and even seemed a little impatient.

"coming."

Miyamizu Mitsuha ran over and opened the door, and saw the two people standing outside, just as she had expected.

One of them, with her twin ponytails, looks sunny and lively, exuding an aura that makes people want to get close to her; that must be Amano Hina.

As for the other one...

Miyamizu Mitsuha glanced at Yohoshi, who was standing there in a black casual outfit, and was momentarily stunned.

Although she had seen the two people when her soul left her body, the feeling at the time was like a dream. Not only was it hazy, like looking at flowers through a fog, but after waking up, the memory of the event would become increasingly blurry.

Now I can finally see it with my own eyes...

"He really is handsome..."

Hearing Mitsuha Miyamizu's mutterings, Hina Amano was completely bewildered.

what?

Are there any experts?

In retrospect, this was her first real meeting with Yoruichiro and Miyamizu Mitsuha.

First meeting...

Are you just going to be so blunt about praising Ye Xing's looks?

Little Clover, what do you mean by this?

what you up to?

Hina Amano thought this way, but didn't say anything more.

After all, she had done quite a few things with Yoru, so she had no right to say anything to Miyamizu Mitsuha.

Noticing Amano Hina's expression, Miyamizu Mitsuha belatedly realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth.

broken.

I actually blurted out what was on my mind.

"Well...no, no."

Miyamizu Mitsuha waved her hands repeatedly, looking flustered and confused, and stammered an explanation.

"By 'handsome,' I mean someone who looks like they're from a big city, dresses impeccably, and has a... well, in short, someone who looks like they're from Tokyo!"

Upon hearing Miyamizu Mitsuha's words, Yohoshi simply smiled and replied.

"You've got it wrong, we're not from Tokyo, we're from Kyoto."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Miyamizu Mitsuha was first taken aback, then her face showed embarrassment, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She had always thought that Yoshiki was from Tokyo.

But now that I think about it carefully...

If the other person already lives in Tokyo, why would they stay in a hotel?

How could I have overlooked such a detail and caused such an embarrassing misunderstanding...?

What a shame.

"Three leaves."

Upon hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Miyamizu Mitsuha quickly turned around.

"Mother-in-law, who are these two...?"

"No need to say more."

Miyamizu Ichiyo waved her hand, bent over and slowly walked to Yosei and Amano Hina, bowing slightly in greeting.

"I am Miyamizu Ichiyo, and I am the person in charge of this Miyamizu Shrine."

"The divine beings have already revealed their presence to welcome you two distinguished guests who have traveled from afar."

"Please come in."

Miyamizu Ichiyo was very polite, not only because of the divine hint, but also because she sensed a faint spiritual aura from the two people in front of her, a man and a woman who were about the same age as her granddaughter Mitsuha.

And judging from his granddaughter Mitsuha's attitude...

It seems this isn't the first time they've met these two people.

Miyamizu Ichiyo pondered silently in her heart, and together with Mitsuha, led Yohoshi and Amano Hina into the house.

As soon as she sat down, before she could even speak, Ye Xing took the initiative to speak.

“We were introduced by the Goddess of God.”

"The Divine Mother?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Miyamizu Ichiyo smiled and asked Mitsuha to pour two cups of hot tea for Yohoshi and Amano Hina before nodding.

"I see. How has she been lately?"

"It's alright. Soon, the withered tree will come back to life, the old tree will sprout new buds, the setting sun will still have its afterglow, and a new romance will blossom."

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Miyamizu Ichiyo, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost choked.

The content of that statement wasn't particularly noteworthy.

The main thing is the adjectives used for "night star"...

That's just too ridiculous.

Mitsuha quickly patted her mother-in-law's back. After she calmed down, Miyamizu Ichiyo composed herself and continued to ask questions.

"Then may we ask how we can help you, since you've come all this way?"

Amano Hina stopped Yosei, who was about to speak, and looked at Miyamizu Ichiyo, who was holding a teacup, and said with an awkward smile.

"Um...would you like to put the teacup down first?"

Miyamizu Ichiyo first frowned slightly, then placed the teacup on the table before shaking her head with a wry smile.

"I've lived this long and been a priestess for so many years, what haven't I seen? Tell me everything, I..."

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."

Ye Xing chose to get straight to the point, without any pretense.

"We're going to kill a god."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Miyamizu Ichiyo's first reaction was to turn and look at her granddaughter Mitsuha, her face full of confusion.

Did I just hear that right?

Mitsuha pursed her lips and nodded with a complicated expression.

“You heard right, he... really did want to kill a god.”

Miyamizu Ichiyo was dumbfounded.

Having lived most of my life, what haven't I seen?

I've never seen anything like this before.

"Kill a god? Are you serious? You know, the reason gods are called gods is because..."

"Stop it."

Ye Xing waved his hand and complained with a speechless expression.

"Kawasaki Saki has already been shocked, so let's skip this repetitive shock and get straight to the question: what method can we use to capture that god? OK?"

Miyamizu Ichiyo took a deep breath, her face showing hesitation.

"Well... I need to ask the gods for their opinion first..."

"Mother-in-law."

Miyamizu Mitsuha tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve and spoke cautiously.

"That... the deity worshipped by our Miyamizu family... has agreed to help."

"What? How could you...?"

Upon hearing this, Miyamizu Ichiyo was initially startled, but after looking at her granddaughter's expression, she finally seemed to understand and said thoughtfully.

"I see... It seems you truly have the talent to be a shrine maiden, and may even be the most suitable person to become a shrine maiden in the history of our Miyamizu family."

Yoru noticed that when Miyamizu Mitsuha heard these words, there was little joy in her eyes; instead, she seemed somewhat resistant and disappointed.

the reason is simple.

If you become a shrine maiden, you have to stay in Itomori Town for the rest of your life.

Mitsuha, however, did not want to stay here for the rest of her life.
