I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

"It's really troublesome..."

She felt it was very troublesome, but she still faithfully played the role of a hot girl.

Hayasaka Ai stepped lightly into Jizo-dori, a bustling commercial street.

Groups of energetic high school girls, like cheerful deer, hurriedly moved between the live houses.

This commercial street is adjacent to several girls' schools. Looking around, one sees skirts fluttering and laughter filling the air, as if stepping into a dreamlike world of women.

I walked past the colorful signboard of the Galaxy Vegetable Store.

Hayasaka Ai finally found Naraku's office around the corner.

At the entrance of the firm, a wooden sign stands quietly, engraved with the words "Galaxy Firm".

Ascending the stairs on the left, Hayasaka Ai arrived on the second floor, where she saw a notice posted at the entrance.

"Our agency has no interest in ordinary human incidents; we only handle supernatural incidents involving aliens, time travelers, people from other worlds, and people with superpowers..."

Hayasaka Ai read aloud softly, but beads of sweat quietly appeared on her forehead.

I muttered to myself:

Are there no normal people in the Tsurumaki family?

I heard that the young master of the Genmaki family can jump from the third floor and emerge unscathed. His daily routine is to "fill the world with smiles." Now, he has a son-in-law who is "only interested in supernatural events."

The Genmaki family is truly full of talented people!

With these thoughts in mind, Hayasaka Ai gently pushed open the door of the agency.

The sound of the door hinges turning echoed in the quiet air, as if opening a door to a new world.

Not Agito: Chapter Seventeen: Ifukamuzumi no Mikoto

On the right side of the room, a set of simple and elegant reception table and chairs quietly awaits unexpected visitors.

On the left is a silver-white refrigerator.

Separated by a floor lamp is a bathroom.

A simple yet elegant cabinet door cleverly divides the space, preserving both privacy and openness, perfectly separating the office's public and private areas.

Behind the cabinet lies the true heart of the room.

To the left is Mingxian's desk, on which sits a computer with a faint, flickering light.

Rows of books were neatly arranged behind the table.

On the right is a typewriter that has stood the test of time, as if it were found at a flea market.

Although the room appears compact, it contains hidden wonders.

The door opened slightly, and accompanied by the crisp sound of the doorbell, Hayasaka Ai, a girl dressed in the Shuchi High School uniform, gracefully entered, bringing with her a unique youthful vitality and frivolity.

The once tranquil space instantly came alive with vibrant color and fragrance.

"Yo yo, Tsurumaki-kun, surprised? I'm Hayasaka Ai, the one in my class." Her tone was full of energy, as if it could instantly dispel all gloom. "I came all this way to visit you, and I have some great news to tell you: you got first place in the exam!"

As she spoke, she stepped into the room and looked around curiously.

"Is this the legendary detective agency? Can supernatural events really happen here?"

Hayasaka Ai acted like she knew everyone.

Mingxian looked up and glanced at her.

[Identifiable romance target: Hayasaka Ai]

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

I've gotten used to playing the stringed instrument.

On the first day of opening a shop in Dizangtong Commercial Street, the system discovered quite a few potential romantic partners.

Some of the names are familiar.

After carefully searching my memory, I discovered that these people had appeared in "mygo", supposedly as characters from a previous game.

So the romanceable character was a female character from an anime from my past life!

But why doesn't Shin Tsurumaki appear in Mygo's story?

Isn't it a band with the same worldview?

Seeing Hayasaka Ai now confirms Naruhira's guess.

"What do you need, maid of the Shinomiya family?"

Naruhira slowly stood up and poured a cup of tea for Hayasaka Ai.

At this moment, all the frivolity and enthusiasm on Hayasaka Ai's face had disappeared.

She accepted the tea expressionlessly. "As expected of the Genmaki family, they actually know my identity."

Mingxian said, "It has nothing to do with the Hexian family. I'm a detective, so naturally I found out on my own."

Hayasaka Ai nodded. "It's just a regular classmate visit, and your teachers and classmates hope you can attend classes as much as possible. Your absences are serious and your attendance is insufficient, which could lead to you repeating a grade."

"What are you talking about?" Mingxian asked with a smile. "Why would the Shinomiya family make me repeat a year or expel me for such a trivial matter?"

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

That's a statement that's truly irrefutable.

"Are you really the fiancé of the young master of the Genmaki family?" Hayasaka Ai changed the subject.

"more or less."

The sound of the zither remained ambiguous.

Rejecting the light from the string is quite easy.

However, refusing Genmaki Kokoro would be a bit difficult.

The former can still put on an arrogant expression and say things like, "Who are you? Who am I? Why should I listen to you?"; the latter, on the other hand, has no way to rely on the power of the god-slayer and put on a smug look.

Ultimately, Genjuro Shin was also a part of his great achievements.

Although this analogy is somewhat strange.

But to truly reject Genjuro's feelings would feel like a nouveau riche abandoning his wife who had shared his hardships.

Although Mingxian doubted that Xianmianxin might not even know what love and marriage are.

Genjuro Kokoro always seemed like a little sun, cheerful and happy, with nothing causing her to have emotional fluctuations.

That’s it anyway.

What else?

Hayasaka Ai asked with a hint of gossip, "How did you two meet?"

Mingxian: "..."

Can you please stop asking about gossip with that blank expression?

"Do you have a request?" Mingxian bluntly dismissed him, "If not, please leave."

Hayasaka Ai was prepared: "I have a request."

"Tell me."

Mingxian slowly sat down.

Hayasaka Ai also sat down: "Do you know Itomu Mume Mikoto?"

"do not know."

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

You don't even know this, yet you call yourself a supernatural detective?

Hayasaka Ai strongly suspects that Naruzuru is playing house here, pretending to be a detective.

calm.

He's not Japanese, so it's understandable that he didn't know.

Hayasaka Ai could only explain, "It's a sacred peach from Japanese mythology, which Izanagi appointed as a guardian deity to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons."

"According to legend, Izanami sent eight thunder gods with 1,500 troops of the underworld to pursue him, which frightened Izanagi so much that he drew his Totsuka sword and fled while brandishing it."

"But the army continued to pursue, and Izanagi fled to Yomi Hirasaka, where he threw three peaches at the pursuers, and the Yomi army stopped chasing him."

"Therefore, Izanagi said to Momoko: 'You have spiritual power and can ward off evil spirits. From now on, when the people of Nakatsu (the earthly world) encounter danger, go and help them, just as you helped me!'"

"Therefore, Izanagi bestowed the name Ifukamuzumi upon Momoko."

“In the name of the god, ‘Oo’ means ‘great’, ‘Kamu’ means ‘of the gods’, and ‘Mimi’ means ‘spiritual power’, so the whole sentence can be translated as ‘great spirit of the gods’.”

At this point, she changed the subject.

"This kind of fairy peach gradually evolved and eventually became the legend of Momotaro. It is said that an old couple ate the peach, regained their youth, and gave birth to Momotaro."

Mingxian said calmly, "It sounds like the legend of the immortal peach from our area."

"Perhaps that has some influence as well." Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly: "The third son of the Shinomiya family, Lord Untaka heard from somewhere that 'Itofuka Muzumi no Mikoto' was born, and intends to ask for her for the head of the Shinomiya family."

After listening, Mingxian said seriously, "He's a young master from a prominent family, isn't this too superstitious?"

Hayasaka Ai: “…”

Could the sign at the entrance actually be fake?

However, Mingxian still became somewhat interested.

Since it's related to mythology, it's worth paying attention to.

Mingxian asked directly, "So what is your request?"

“I hope you can investigate whether the peach is real. If it is…” Hayasaka Ai’s eyes turned gloomy, “I will find a way to destroy it.”

Mingxian scratched his head: "Destroying the elixir that can reverse aging reminds me of the smoke of immortality drifting to the moon."

"what is that?"
