Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

After Taichi and Akane Shinjo got off the bus, they started moving their hands and feet at the same time.

"I'm so tired! It's so remote! But the air is so good!" Xin Tiao Qian took a deep breath, spread her arms and shouted loudly.

There are mountains all around and there don't seem to be many residential houses, so it probably won't disturb anyone.

"Anyway, let's go to the city hall first."

……

"Hmm - this is really... unexpected." The mayor of Hida City is a fat middle-aged Mediterranean man.

When he saw the historical documents submitted by Taiyi, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"This is a document from two hundred years ago... Well, if you want to know if it's still valid, you have to ask a professional." The mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief in embarrassment, then looked at Taiyi with a dry smile, "Could you please wait patiently for a while?"

The privatization of twenty square kilometers of land is no small matter.

I'm afraid the mayor will have to make more trips.

As dusk approached, the reception staff of the city hall invited Taichi and Shinjo Akane to eat the most famous local Hida beef at public expense.

When I came back, there were already two people sitting in the room.

In addition to the mayor, the other person is the mayor of a certain town.

However, the uncle looked very unhappy at this time.

"The document has been reviewed and approved." The mayor rubbed his hands dryly and looked at Taichi. "This is the mayor of the town where the 20 square kilometers of land are located. Mayor Miyamizu Toshiki of Itomori Town."

"Nice to meet you, thank you for your kindness." After calming down his expression, Miyamizu Toshiki stood up and asked Taichi.

"Mayor Miyamizu, nice to meet you. I'm Taichi Naruto, and this is Shinjo." Taichi took the initiative to withdraw his hand and gestured.

"The effective mechanism of the document is still in effect." Miyamizu Toshiki shook his hand and then released it, and then went straight to the point, "Although the area is 20 square kilometers, more than 90% of it is high mountains. The area inside the town is only 6,000 square meters."

Although Miyamizu Toshiki said it lightly, the 6,000 square meters was equivalent to cutting into the aorta for the already small area of Itomori Town.

All the efforts of Miyamizu Toshiki over the years were wasted.

"If you don't mind, could you please come with me to Itomori Town for a field trip, Mr. Naruto?"

The established facts cannot be changed, and Miyamizu Toshiki can only find ways to reduce the losses or win over this outsider.

Turn it into strength to support yourself.

"It's getting late." Taiyi glanced at the sky outside the window, hinting something.

"I'll have my secretary prepare a room for you two in advance," Miyamizu Toshiki replied, "and the car is ready, too."

Taichi turned his head and looked at Shinjo Akane.

"What do you think?"

"Go, go, go!" Xin Tiao Qian didn't know why, but she looked a little excited from the beginning.

……

"Taiyi, it's Imomori! Imomori!" As soon as she got into the back car, Akane Shinjo grabbed Taiyi's arm and shook him.

"Ah? Even if you tell me the name of the town, I don't know it." Taichi scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Shinjo Akane, "Is it the birthplace of some special effects monster?"

"No!" Xin Tiao Qian pressed her forehead with her fingers helplessly.

"Mr. Shinjo, our Itomori Town is quite remote. Apart from the locals, I'm afraid few people, even the citizens of Hida City, know of the existence of this town." Miyamizu Toshiki said in the passenger seat.

"Ahem." Shinjo Akane coughed a few times, glanced at Taichi, then turned to look at Miyamizu Toshiki, "Mayor Miyamizu's child should be about my age, right?"

This person is so rude!

You come up and ask about other people's family affairs!

Taichi looked at Shinjo Akane in surprise.

"...I have two daughters. The eldest is now a sophomore in high school, and the younger is a fourth-year in elementary school." Miyamizu Toshiki was stunned for a moment before he answered.

"What's the name? Name? Ah, when we arrive at Itomori Town, can you let me meet Mayor Miyamizu's two daughters? After all, I only have this wooden-headed guy around me." Shinjo Akane said, poking Taichi's arm with a look of disgust.

"Well... it's possible, but I don't have a very good relationship with my two daughters, so I can't guarantee that they will come." Miyamizu Toshiki's face looked very strange, "As for the names, the eldest daughter is Miyamizu Mitsuha, and the second daughter is Miyamizu Yotsuha."

"Ah?" Taiyi on the side turned his head in a daze and looked at Shinjo Akane.

"What's wrong with my daughters' names?" Miyamizu Toshiki frowned slightly.

"No, nothing, I just think these two names are particularly easy to remember." Taiyi waved his hand and replied somewhat awkwardly.

He finally understood what Xin Tiao Qian had reminded him before.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the 'Autumn Festival' in Itomori Town. If you don't mind it being just a rural festival, you two can come and take a look," Miyamizu Toshiki added.

"Autumn Festival...ah, come to think of it, tomorrow is October 4th." Shinjo Akane's face suddenly turned pale.

Taichi thought about it for a while. Although he couldn't remember the exact date, if he remembered correctly... when a comet split off and hit Itomori Town, it seemed that there was a festival that night...

"Yes, it's tomorrow." Miyamizu Toshiki nodded in response.

Is there going to be a meteorite falling towards Itomori Town tomorrow?

Taiyi looked at Akane Shinjo beside him in astonishment.

Xin Tiao Qian didn't say much, just nodded silently.

Now the problem becomes serious!

Taiyi reached for the old phone in his pocket.

After so much time, Aix still hasn't woken up.

But in the real world, Taichi can only use the Mordred Armor... he doesn't have the ability to withstand the meteorite and save Isomori Town.

No matter how small the meteorite is.

After getting off the car at the door of the best hotel in Itomori Town and being led by the receptionist to the room that had been booked in advance, Taiyi's originally calm face suddenly turned ashen.

"This is terrible. This is really terrible." Taichi scratched his head and looked at Shinjo Akane. "If I remember correctly, in the original plot, Mitsuha persuaded Mayor Miyamizu to conduct a disaster drill, which resulted in no one dying in the town, right?"

Xin Tiao Qian nodded and gave a positive response.

"What should I do? X hasn't woken up yet. Even if I want to transform into X and pull the split piece of skin into the universe, I can't do it." Taiyi touched his chin and thought.

"How about using the method that Mitsuha used in the original story and conducting a disaster drill to gather everyone to a safe area... I remember that the high school that Mitsuha is currently attending happens to be in a safe area."

“…This is the only way.” Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and made a decision.

Chapter 2 Everyone thinks they have earned something

"I'm Miyamizu Mitsuha, and this is my sister, Yotsuha." With her hair carefully braided with ropes on top of her head, the girl held her sister's hand and looked at the unfamiliar faces of the man and woman in front of them.

She didn't want to come.

After all, she is still in a state of confrontation with her father who has been away from home for many years.

But the matter concerns the defense of the town. If nothing unexpected happens, the other party will become the landlord with the largest area in the defense town.

Even the shrine itself, which owns a mountain, is far smaller in land area than the other one.

Although she still has fantasies about the big city in her heart, Mitsuha Miyamizu is still reluctant to leave the small town where her family was born and raised for generations.

Moreover, she had just heard from Oppa-chan not long ago about the reason why her father was obsessed with work and neglected household chores.

From Tomoe's perspective, what his father did was a heresy against the shrine, but the root cause was to prevent what happened to Futaba from happening to Mitsuha and Yotsuha.

This is also the key reason why Sanye finally agreed to come.

Because, Sanye, who yearns for the big city, unexpectedly gets along well with her father in some aspects.

Rather than letting her mother disappear from her and Yotsuba's lives, she would have preferred that her mother go to a big hospital in a big city for treatment.

"Mitsuba-chan, I'm Akane Shinjo, you can call me Sister Akane." Akane Shinjo looked at the hairstyle behind Mitsuba Miyamizu's head for a few seconds, then replied with a smile.

Well, it’s a carefully braided hairstyle, it’s Mitsuha Miyamizu.

But why no haircut?

According to the original plot, shouldn't this kid have cut his hair short to below his shoulders after returning from Tokyo?

"Naruto Taichi, you can call me whatever you want." Taichi didn't dare to be as familiar as Akane Shinjo, as he might be considered to have bad intentions.

"You guys play first. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room." Taiyi waved his hand and said goodbye to the three people.

He also had to think carefully about the 'routine' for the disaster drill he was going to discuss with Miyamizu Toshiki tomorrow.

……

Maybe it's the nature of girls to go from being a stranger to being familiar overnight.

Anyway, when Taichi woke up and came out of the room, he saw Shinjo Akane holding Miyamizu Mitsuha's arm with one hand and Miyamizu Yotsuha's little hand with the other.

He looked at Taiyi with a grin as if to say 'I succeeded'.

"Good morning." After saying hello, the four of them went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

Rather than miso soup, Taiyi now wants to drink a bowl of millet porridge with five grams of white sugar.

This time, Miyamizu Toshiki still did not bring anyone with him. In his capacity as the mayor of Itomori Town, he planned to take Taichi on a tour of this small town where he had worked hard for several years but had not seen any improvement.

He has both love and hatred for this land.

His wife Erye was born on this land, and then left him forever because of the ignorance of the people in this land.

But when it comes to his understanding of Isumori Town, he can confidently say that no one knows it better than him.

Probably because of the Autumn Festival, the streets are quite busy.

From time to time, someone would greet Miyamizu Toshiki, and people of the same age as Mitsuha would wave to her, but the smiles on their faces seemed somewhat malicious.

Often at this time, Mitsuha Miyamizu would look away and not make contact with the other person.

Although their relationship is not good, at most they would just have a few quarrels when they meet.

She couldn't retort now and could only endure it silently.

When Akane Shinjo found some time to be alone with Taichi, she told him something.

"Mitsuha Miyamizu did not exchange bodies with Tokyo Boy."

This is the timeline in which the bodies were not exchanged, resulting in heavy casualties in Itomori Town.

If the timeline developed to Tachibana Taki, and if he had exchanged bodies, then the timeline might still have a chance to be concluded, but... the timeline here has long been messed up.

It is also possible that because the timeline is too chaotic, Mitsuha Miyamizu was unable to exchange bodies with the future Taki Tachibana.

Forget it, give up all external hopes and just block the possibilities in the present.

During lunch time, Taichi and Miyamizu Toshiki are alone together.

"Mayor Miyamizu, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to show me and Akane around Itomori Town."

"It's my duty." Miyamizu Toshiki replied with a curl of his lips.

He dared to guarantee that in the places he took the young man to visit all morning, there was not a single place where he could stop and take a closer look.

Maybe this person can't even name a store.

After all, this land is inconspicuous, poor and remote.

"Although I got a glimpse of the lives of the residents of Itomori Town, there are still some aspects that I would like to see more of." Taiyi began to draw his sword. "After all, earthquakes and landslides should happen quite often."

"…Naruto-san's idea is…" Miyamizu Toshiki frowned slightly.

"I want to hold a large-scale disaster prevention drill." Taiyi's mouth curled up slightly, and he responded with an attitude of 'I just had a sudden idea'. "After all, if you live here, the most important thing is to have a sense of security that can save your life in time when a natural disaster occurs."

"But today is the Autumn Festival." Miyamizu Toshiki's eyes flickered.

Although he does not attach importance to this so-called ceremony, he still cares a lot about whether the voters are willing to vote for him.

After all, he is the mayor now. If he doesn't think of ways to consolidate his voice in the town, how can he save this town from feudal superstition... bah, from ancient beliefs.

"Six thousand square meters, I think it's a bit too big. After all, I don't farm, and there's no use for so much land."

Well, after all, there is no other use for the countryside except for building residential land.

Sell, can’t sell.

After all, the place is too remote.
