How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

This guess made Yuanjie Shen narrow his eyes, and his憨憨 (simple and honest) smile reappeared.

Yes, that's right, that must be it!

I'm such a genius!

Hahaha!

I knew it! How could fate not bless them?

Luckily, I didn't tell Chaoyang my wrong guess, otherwise, that little guy would definitely do something unpredictable.

While happy for Shimizu Asahi and Reiko's future, the God of Marriage also praised himself for his cleverness.

And so, this silly god, while pleased with her own cleverness, chatted with Shimizu Asahi about the events of the past month. As they chatted, Shimizu Asahi suddenly asked her a question that surprised her.

"By the way, Lady of Fate, what was my sister like before...?"

"...before?"

The spirit of fate blinked and tilted its head in confusion.

"Yes, this time I went back in time, although only once, I did see my sister, but the sister from three hundred years ago and the sister of today..."

A strange expression appeared on the boy's face. He rested his chin on his hand and said somewhat oddly, "How should I put it, it feels different."

"My older sister from three hundred years ago was very domineering and assertive. When I first saw her, I thought I had mistaken her for someone else. If it weren't for the fact that our auras were exactly the same, I wouldn't have been sure that it was my older sister."

"Although Lady Tamamo-no-Mae and Aunt Kuzuha had said that my sister's personality used to be terrible, I didn't pay any attention to it."

"After seeing it for myself, I finally understood what 'terrible' meant."

"So... I want to know more about my sister. Not just the sister I know now, but also the sister I knew in the past."

He had thought about this topic a long time ago, but Mio had never brought it up before, and over time, he had let it go.

But now, he remembered it again.

As it happened, the God of Fate, who had known his sister for so long, was also there, so he asked the question again.

"I see. But I think it's better if Mio tells you about it herself." She said in a simple and honest way, even though she also wanted to talk about Mio, but this was clearly not something she could say.

If she were to say something like, "Your sister is Amaterasu Omikami, the ruler of Takamagahara," then regardless of whether Shimizu Asahi believed it or not, she would definitely be targeted.

She never forgot how willful the sun god, who had become gentle because of the clear water and the rising sun and truly possessed the radiance of the sun, had been in the past.

Even as a close friend, she was often driven to the point of exasperation.

Therefore, she cannot say.

but...

Before the thought had ended, the God of Fate seemed to suddenly remember something and blinked involuntarily.

Complaining... doesn't seem like a bad idea.

The only thing she couldn't reveal was Mio's identity. However, it seemed perfectly acceptable for her to talk about the outrageous things Mio had done while concealing Mio's identity.

The black eyes lit up; the God of Fate saw a glimmer of hope for revenge.

Tell Asahi about Mio's past misdeeds, shattering that perfect image of her as an older sister, and venting the anger he felt from being bullied by her before!

Hehehe...we can do it!

Realizing this, before Shimizu Asahi could express her regret, she immediately changed her tune excitedly, saying, "However, since Mio isn't here, it doesn't matter if I say something. Besides, I've known Mio for a very, very long time. I basically know everything about her!"

"Let me tell you, the Mio of the past and the Mio of the present are completely different people."

"Back then, she was very domineering. She wouldn't allow anyone to disobey her or blame her. If she encountered something unpleasant, she would hide in her room and refuse to come out, which caused us a lot of trouble."

"We don't know how much time and energy we've spent trying to appease her."

Even if we managed to coax her out, she was still unhappy and blamed us.

"At that time, she didn't think about others at all. She was extremely self-centered, like a child who never grew up."

"And another thing, she has very high standards for her room. It needs to be renovated every ten years or so, and each renovation must be bigger and better than the last. To meet her demands, many people have lost all their hair..."

As Enmusubi continued recounting Mio's past capricious acts, Shimizu Asahi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat surprised that his sister had been so willful in the past.

"No wonder my sister won't talk about her past."

In order to maintain her gentleness and dignity in front of her younger brother, the older sister naturally had to seal this dark past deep in her heart. If he hadn't asked the God of Fate, he might never have known about his sister's past in this lifetime.

"If my sister thinks back on what happened in the past, she will definitely feel very regretful."

The black-haired boy couldn't help but smile at the thought that his sister might be ashamed and cover her face. His sister was quite cute even in that state.

However, the Goddess of Fate disagreed. She crossed her arms and firmly denied it, saying, "No way!"

"Mio is not the kind of person who regrets her past actions. Even now, she doesn't think she did anything wrong."

"If I really have any regrets, it's probably that I regret taking me in."

"She wouldn't take me in, and you might never know these things."

"Hmph, let her bully me like this before, this is fate!"

"Snapped!"

Before the melody of the myth of predestined union had even faded, the tightly closed door was rudely flung open, the sound of the wooden door slamming against the wall echoing in everyone's ears. Then, Shimizu Mio's soft voice rang out...

"You two seem to be talking about something interesting. Can I join in?" Chapter 415, Section 418: Sister, I'm married, please don't upset me. Hey? You know?

A crisp, melodious sound echoed within the house. Shimizu Mio squinted her eyes and stood smiling behind Enmusubi. The simple-minded god, who had just been standing with his arms crossed and looking perfectly justified, suddenly froze, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Can anyone tell her why Mio suddenly appeared?!

As a friend who has followed Mio since she took control of Takamagahara, Enmusubi is very clear about Mio's personality.

She might not care too much if other acquaintances talked about her dark past; even if she was unhappy, she would only say a few words. However, once those other old friends were replaced by Shimizu Asahi, the situation was completely different.

Anyone who tears away the mask of Shimizu Asahi's gentle, warm, and all-encompassing older sister will face the mad revenge of the once willful and self-willed Lord of Takamagahara.

The Goddess of Fate wanted to vent her anger, but that didn't mean she was willing to pay such a price.

Ideally, one should tell her but not let Mio know.

Therefore, when she decided to tell about Mio's dark history, she also decided to use her last bit of divine power to set up a barrier so that she could react immediately if Mio suddenly came over.

But...why wasn't the barrier triggered? Why didn't the divine power detect it?

Her divine power was clearly enough to set up even the simplest barrier.

Was it destroyed?

Waaaaah... I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!

The silly god was about to cry.

"Um... Mio? Actually, this topic was brought up by Asahi. He said he wanted to know more about you, so I started talking about it. It has nothing to do with me, don't kill me!"

Stiffly turning her head, the black-haired goddess decisively shifted the blame to Shimizu Asahi.

The only one who can withstand Mio's anger right now is Asahiro, who can never make her angry no matter what she does.

Please, Chaoyang, save me!

The god of predestined relationships revealed a strong will to survive in his dark eyes.

The black-haired boy, who had understood her distress signal, blinked, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the Goddess of Fate to be so afraid of his sister. He had thought she wasn't afraid, given how cheerful she had been earlier.

But speaking of which... does my sister really care that much about the image she has in my eyes?

I'm a little happy...

A faint sense of happiness rose in Qing Shui Chaoyang's heart as she rubbed her head and took over the conversation.

"Sister, it was indeed me who asked Lady Yuanjie to say it. Please don't blame her. If you don't like it, I won't ask again."

Along with these words, the black-haired boy's face showed a hint of 'I was wrong'. But upon seeing that hint of apology, his dangerous, dagger-like smile instantly transformed into a gentle, spring-like smile, like cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.

"Chaoyang wants to know more about you, sister. You're more than happy to do so, how could you be angry? You were just joking with the God of Fate."

"Right, God of Marriage."

"..."

Unlike the gentle breeze that greeted her when facing the clear water and the morning sun, Shimizu Mio's smile turned dangerous again. Her slightly narrowed eyes, revealing only a hint of her gaze, were filled with an undisguised threat.

When she can see Shimizu Asahi, she will restrain herself somewhat, but when Shimizu Asahi cannot see her, she is still the same unruly and absolute goddess!

The threatened god of fate had no choice but to nod, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Um, um... we were just joking, don't worry too much."

...Only a fool would think that such an expression and such words are a joke, right?

But... never mind.

The black-haired boy couldn't help but smile and shake his head, then said, "That's good. By the way, sister, is lunch ready?"

"Yes, everything is ready. Lunch is ready."

"Let's go have lunch... It's been so long since I've had my sister's cooking."

Shimizu Asahi stood up expectantly and called over the four members of Ibuki.

The five people left the hall one after another and headed towards the living room. Only after feeling Mio Shimizu's departure did the threatening, simple-minded god finally collapse with a sigh of relief.

She pressed her face against the low table and cried out in a very frightened voice, "Waaah... I almost got eaten by Mio... It was so scary! Mio is still so scary, she hasn't become any gentler at all!"

I will never speak ill of Mio in front of Asahi again.

She muttered to herself in fear for a moment, then pouted and stood up from the table. In fact, she was already feeling dizzy and unsteady. If Shimizu Mio threatened her even slightly more, she might collapse on the spot.

Therefore, she didn't really want to eat with Mio.

But... she wasn't eating, and she was going to get hungry, so she had no choice but to force herself to go to the room.

Life is tough, I sighed.

Fortunately, once inside the room, Shimizu Mio's attention was focused on Shimizu Asahi, and the arrival of Enmusubi didn't cause any ripples.

The timid and simple-minded god finally put aside his worries and then enjoyed his lunch.
