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

"so..."

Ye Xing looked at Miyamizu Ichiyo and smiled as she spoke.

"Is there a way to find the true form of a god?"

Miyamizu Ichiyo remained silent for a long time, looking at Yoshiki's smiling expression and staring into his eyes. Only after confirming that the boy was not joking but speaking seriously did she reply in a deep voice.

"There is a way."

206 The Three Elements to Lock in God, Kaguya Shinomiya Suffers from Puberty Syndrome

Miyamizu Ichiyo, who had been a shrine maiden her whole life, was clearly still a little uncomfortable when talking about this topic. After sorting out her thoughts, she slowly spoke.

"Beings that are called gods generally have their own domain, which you can think of as an independent space."

"Oh, no need to understand."

To Miyako's surprise, Yoshiki showed no surprise at what she said, and just smiled nonchalantly.

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it definitely exists.”

Have you seen it with your own eyes?

Miyamizu Ichiyo was once again shocked.

Has the other party personally witnessed the realm of a deity?

And, he's still alive?

Fortunately, Miyamizu Ichiyo was a shrine maiden and knew that the boy sitting opposite her was someone who had been recognized by the god whom the Miyamizu family had served for generations.

Otherwise, she would just think the other person was talking nonsense.

"Since we've met before... that makes things much easier to explain."

Miyamizu Ichiyo paused for a moment, then continued to explain.

"In any legend or story, beings like gods cannot interfere too much with the present world, the world in which we humans live."

"The true form of a deity lives in a space completely different from the present world. Generally speaking, humans cannot enter it, and deities cannot leave it."

"That is why there is a need for priestesses and priests, people who can understand divine revelations, to convey the will of the gods."

"And if, as you say, we want to kill a god, let's set aside the question of whether humans can kill a god. To find the god's true form, we must enter the god's domain."

"Therefore, a medium is needed."

Hearing this, Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at her mother-in-law and asked curiously.

"Like the kuchikami-zake (chewed sake) of our Miyamizu family?"

Miyamizu Ichiyo smiled and nodded.

“That’s right. Just like the kuchikamizu sake from our Miyamizu family, and the knots I usually make with red silk thread when I take you and Yotsuba to make, the so-called offerings are the bridge connecting humans and gods.”

"What about the Weather Maiden?"

"Sunny Girl?"

Upon hearing the word uttered by Amano Hina, Miyamizu Ichiyo, who had obviously heard of the legend of the Weather Maiden, immediately frowned and snorted coldly.

“Young lady, the one our Miyamizu family worships is an ancient deity who has protected Itomori Town for hundreds of years. It is completely different from that kind of thing that requires human girls to disappear as sacrifices. Don’t get them confused.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Amano Hina saw the red threads reappear in the air, forming a dancing human figure that stood behind Miyamizu Ichiyo and started shaking it excitedly.

Hina Amano and Mitsuha Miyamizu exchanged a glance, both looking speechless.

Especially Miyamizu Mitsuha.

As the current shrine maiden of the Miyamizu family, she now feels a strange sense of shame.

It's like during Chinese New Year, you invite a bunch of friends to your home, and then your elderly great-grandmother announces in front of everyone that she wants to perform the newly learned flower-shaking hand gesture.

That's roughly the feeling.

"Please, that's enough."

Upon hearing Mitsuha Miyamizu's words, the red threads finally stopped.

Miyamizu Ichiyo turned her head and looked at the empty space behind her. At first, she was puzzled, but then her expression changed as if she remembered something.

"Mitsuba... could it be... that you can communicate directly with the gods!?"

"Uh...yeah..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell her mother-in-law about the bizarre personality that the guardian deity of Itomori Town had been exhibiting during this period.

The other person is old.

She was genuinely terrified. When her mother-in-law heard that the deity she had worshipped for decades was actually an abstract god who was like a child, smug and fond of flattery, she couldn't take it anymore and collapsed.

Let's preserve the glorious and majestic image of the deity in Grandma's heart.

"Such a thing actually happened..."

Halfway through her sentence, Miyamizu Ichiyo suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Yohoshi and Amano Hina sitting opposite her.

"The god you're saying you want to kill, could it be... the god who controls the weather in the legend of the Weather Maiden?"

Night Star nodded.

"Yes."

"this..."

Miyamizu Ichiyo frowned, looking unsure how to comment.

Kill a god who demands human sacrifice?

If that can really be done, it would indeed be a good thing.

But... is it really possible?

This has already touched upon a blind spot in the knowledge of Miyamizu Ichiyo and Miyamizu Mitsuha, the grandmother and granddaughter.

Come to think of it.

The Miyamizu family are priestesses for generations, not magical girls.

Fighting a god was, in their minds, simply a non-existent option before today, let alone a possibility of victory.

"Entering the realm of gods is difficult, but not impossible."

As Miyamizu Ichiyo pondered, she slowly began to speak.

"The first thing needed is something that connects with the gods, which is what is called a sacrifice."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and smiled.

"This already exists."

He didn't need to say it explicitly; Miyamizu Ichiyo and Miyamizu Mitsuha had probably already guessed it.

This girl named Amano Hina...

This is what is known as a "weather maiden".

The legend of the Weather Maiden is actually true.

The unusual weather in Sakura Province during that period finally had an explanation.

Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at Amano Hina and Yohoshi sitting in front of her with a complicated expression.

To defy the god who controls the weather of the entire Cherry Blossom Province for the sake of one person's life?

This is absolutely outrageous.

For some reason, even though Miyamizu Mitsuha hadn't known Yohoshi for long, she always felt that things that seemed outrageous to others actually made perfect sense when they were done by Yohoshi herself.

For a normal person, they can only choose between Hina Amano and the weather.

Night Star is different.

He chose to kill the god who posed this dilemma.

Could he really be a genius?

"Now that we have the link, what remains is..."

Miyamizu Ichiyo pondered for a moment before speaking.

"A person who possesses powerful spiritual energy, who can observe traces of the gods, and who is in harmony with the soul of the thing they are connected with, and who can open a 'path' to the realm of the gods."

"for example."

Miyamizu Ichiyo, fearing her words were too complicated, began to explain.

"For example, the kuchikami sake of our Miyamizu family is a connecting thing, and the person who has a connection with the kuchikami sake and whose soul is in harmony with it is the contemporary shrine maiden who makes the kuchikami sake."

Upon hearing this, Hina Amano couldn't help but ponder it to herself.

A person with whom you have a connection, a soulmate...

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she glanced at Ye Xing beside her, but then realized something was wrong.

No matter what...

The relationship with the other person hasn't reached that level yet...

I was just indulging in wishful thinking and deluding myself.

"Are these three points enough?"

In response to Yoru's question, Miyamizu Ichiyo nodded and added.

"If you gather these three elements, plus a place with some spiritual power, such as an ancient shrine, you should be able to complete it. Of course, I can't guarantee it, since I've never seen anyone try to enter a domain without a god's permission. The strange tales in those ancient books are probably not reliable references."

"I see."

Ye Xing nodded, pondering to himself.

Three elements.

Offering: Amano Hina.

A person with powerful spiritual energy who can observe traces of divine power: Miko Yotsuya.
