Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Most human relationships are as fragile as a strand of hair; they may break after just one meeting.

However, as long as the method is appropriate, there will always be a way to continue the relationship.

We live in the information age, so finding someone isn't that difficult. There are plenty of ways, although some of them aren't legal.

As long as something exists somewhere in this world, it can always be found, even if it's a god.

Therefore, the biggest obstacle is actually whether the other party is willing to see you.

Kikuri's situation is that they cannot meet due to special circumstances.

After seeing those conditions, Lan Yi finally understood Kiku's... her adoptive mother's feelings, so she decided to stop closing herself off and respond to her expectations.

I suppose that's what Akira Kuroba has always done.

He always responded to their genuine feelings, which is why their relationship was so deep that they could accept other unreasonable things, and even temporarily suppress their jealousy as women.

Then I also want you to marry me sincerely, not just in a simple contract marriage. Only then can it be considered a 'perfect revenge' against them.

This is also for my own inner growth...

So I'm going to seriously try to win you over, Kuroba Akira.

For the first time, Tsukimi Ayane, who didn't know what she wanted and lived for others, finally had something she wanted.

The superstar who has captured the hearts of countless people now only wants to get...

His sincerity.

After finishing talking about her own affairs, Lan Yi then talked about the message she had asked her to convey.

"Oh, right, there's something that A-Miao asked me to tell you... Actually, even if I didn't say it, she knows you came to school today, so she'll probably come over and tell you in person later."

"What is it?"

"It's your family's deity, currently residing at A-Miao's place..."

Upon hearing that it was related to Kuroo, Kuroba Akira immediately became excited and stood up to ask.

"What? Kuroo is with Myo-senpai?!"

"Uh, don't get so excited... To be precise, I'm with Inari-sama."

Lan Yi was surprised that Hei Yuming cared so much about his god. It seemed that he, like her, was quite concerned about the god who had chosen him.

"How could I not be excited! That guy hasn't come back for over half a month! And wasn't she the one who hated that female fox the most? How come she's suddenly defected to the enemy?!"

"To actually call her the Inari Goddess Fox is extremely disrespectful."

“That’s what my family’s deity called her first, and as her representative, I naturally have to follow her will.”

Even Kuroba Akira himself found the excuse somewhat disgusting.

He had no respect for gods to begin with, and he might only have respect for Grandpa Kobayashi, who had become a god, but that wasn't because of his godhood.

As mentioned before, in Kuroba Akira's view, gods are nothing more than intelligent life forms with extraordinary powers, no different from aliens.

"So you can probably guess from this name how much my Kuroo hates Inari, but now she's actually living with Inari. It's unbelievable."

“Indeed…” Lan Yi tapped her chin and thought for a moment before saying, “Perhaps there is some very important reason that made the two gods reconcile?”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if it were the end of the world, those two people, no, those two animals, would never team up!"

Kuroba Akira's certainty stemmed from Kuroo's personality.

It can be said that Kuroo is the person Kuroba Akira has ever met with the clearest likes and dislikes, which is probably inseparable from her identity as a god.

The minds of gods seem to be simpler than those of humans; many of them have the nature of children.

Kuroba Akira initially thought this was a weakness and flaw of the gods, making them easily fall into human traps. But now, after experiencing many things, he realizes that this is precisely the purest aspect of the gods.

This characteristic is particularly evident in Kuroo; she will absolutely hate anything or anyone she dislikes.

That's why she had a conflict with Akira Kuroba because of the giant snake inside him, and then ran away from home.

Therefore, even if Inari God gave her half of his faith, Kuroo probably wouldn't feel happy as if a pie had fallen from the sky. Instead, she would feel humiliated by being given charity by her enemy, and might even become furious.

Not to mention, these beliefs might come with a huge amount of work... In that case, if Kuroo really met Inari, she would probably rush up and bite or scratch her, and it would be impossible for them to get along peacefully.

"This is a matter of incompatible personalities; they just can't get along. So I feel more like Kuroo was detained by Inari, or even... possibly imprisoned!"

Oh my god, your agent hasn't even been sent to the basement by those yandere girls yet, how come you've been locked up by your rivals first?

Now that they knew where Kuroo was, Kuroba Akira couldn't just leave him there... but he really didn't have the ability to save him.

If the opponent were human, it would be easier to save him, but facing the Inari God with overwhelming faith, Kuroba Akira, a human, could do nothing, and might not even be able to see him.

Is the only option to ask Mr. Kobayashi to put in a good word for us...? But what if Inari doesn't compromise?

"Um……"

Just as Kuroba Akira was crossing his arms, frowning, and thinking about how to rescue Kuroo, Lan Yi offered a different idea.

"Then, maybe his personality has changed?"

"Hmm? Her personality has changed? Are you talking about Kuroo?"

"Yeah, that's right. Because of your relationship with A-Miao, hasn't half of the Inari God's worship flowed to your family's deity?"

"Yes."

"Then, faith is actually human emotion, which can affect all aspects of the gods, such as their abilities, form, and... personality."

"So, you mean that because Kuroo accepted the worship of Inari, her personality changed, and she became able to get along well with Inari?"

"Well, although it's just my personal opinion... I think it could explain why your god hasn't returned for so long. It's possible that Kuroo believes that the place where Inari God resides is her divine realm, so she doesn't even have the idea of ​​'going home' anymore."

"Isn't this the same as being brainwashed?!"

It's not imprisonment, it's brainwashing! Isn't that even worse?!

"I don't think it's that serious. If it's a newly created god, it's easily influenced by faith because it hasn't existed for very long. But your god is a very ancient god like Inari and Kikuri, right? So it should just be that its personality has changed a bit... like, it's become gentler?"

The class monitor understood Lan Yi's meaning, and after summarizing, asked a question in return.

"It sounds like she was originally a tsundere, but now the tsundere part has been removed, so all that's left is the cuteness, which makes her easier to talk to."

"That's quite a vivid metaphor..."

Kuroba Akira murmured, then applied the metaphor to Kuroo.

Blacktail is a cat that clearly distinguishes between love and hate, so does that mean it has lost its hatred and only has love left...?

Uh, the cat fell in love with the fox? And both of them are female?

No, gods don't seem to have genders. Kuroo is a land god, and her divine name is Yomizu-no-Okami, which is Izanami, so she is female.

However, Inari Goddess... although based on Kuroo's previous descriptions, she should also appear as a woman, no one knows what her sexual orientation is.

Furthermore, Akira Kuroba had never personally met Inari, and his impressions of her came from Kuroo and Myo-senpai.

Kuroo called her a nouveau riche who looked down on people, like a villainous female antagonist in an otome game, while the Inari Goddess that Myo-senpai mentioned was just a pitiful salaryman fox...

What kind of deity is the real Inari god?

Could it be that the fox's original goal was to obtain Kuro-o? Otherwise, why would it lend the name of the Inari Shrine to Kuro-o?

Moreover, her senior sister Miao, who was her agent, offered herself up... Out of so many gods, why did they choose Kuroo?

Damn it, so Kuroo was brainwashed and imprisoned by the yandere goddess who had her eye on her?

Kuroba Akira became increasingly anxious as he thought about it, but his thoughts were in turmoil and he couldn't get to the truth. At this moment, the class monitor smiled and made a suggestion.

"We've been guessing and guessing here without any results. Why don't you, wise ruler, ask someone who knows better?"

"Someone who understands better?"

"Yes, aren't there such people around you, wise ruler?"

"Oh...that makes sense."

My fairy sister, Hikari Ama.

She's a living, breathing superhuman now, so she should know exactly what happened to Black Tail.

……

If you want to find Xiaoguang, just go home after school.

Because Hikaru and Mirai would go to Akira Kuroba's house to play games, then the two of them would go to Kobayashi's house for dinner, and finally go back to Takanashi's house to sleep with Takanashi and her daughter.

Today is a school day, and I'll be going to school in the future, so Hikaru came to Akira Kuroba's house alone and unceremoniously settled into Akira Kuroba's room, not treating himself like an outsider at all... and indeed he wasn't an outsider.

When Kuroba Akira returned to the room, he saw his younger sister lying on the kotatsu reading comics. On the kotatsu were orange peels, an empty, oversized bag of potato chips, and a bottle of soda with only one last sip.

"Oh? Brother, you're back... Does that mean it's time for dinner?"

"..."

Hearing the door open, Xiao Guang knew it was her brother coming home from school, but she didn't get up to greet him at all. She didn't even take her eyes off her comic book. And the first thing she thought of when her brother came home was dinner.

She doesn't resemble the yandere younger sister who wanted to keep her brother by her side forever at all.

At least Kuroba Akira couldn't see that Hikaru was showing any concern for him.

This should be considered a normal sibling relationship in reality.

Just like Hikari, who has become indifferent to her brother, in Akira Kuroba's eyes, his sister's current lifestyle is very unhealthy.

Xiao Guang has now become an extremely idle person.

If Hikari, who used to live at Takanashi's house, had the air of a quiet, literary girl when she was reading, she has now completely transformed into a pure, naive girl.

Originally, he planned to ask Hikari about Kuroo and Inari as soon as he got back, but seeing her like this, Kuroba Akira had a complicated feeling... like he was disappointed in her.

No, I never expected my sister to do anything anyway, and besides, she's become a god, which is much more impressive than me.

But for some reason, seeing her so lazy made Kuroba Akira very irritable.

It's probably similar to how parents feel when they see their children playing video games all day and not doing anything productive.

At least you need to have some serious work to do, right?

So Kuroba Akira sat down and earnestly made a suggestion to his sister.

"Hey, Xiaoguang, aren't you planning to go back to school? Even Yiyi came to school today."
