Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend.

In the days leading up to his departure from the game, Miyazawa Itsuki was busy with real-life matters and had no time to pay attention to the game content.

At that time, the game was facing a large-scale event, requiring players to stay online every day in order to obtain a high-value item.

After realizing he didn't have the energy to participate in the event, Miyazawa Itsuki was about to give up. However, the priestess volunteered to keep him online.

At that time, the two could already be described as having a close relationship. Miyazawa Itsuki's account contained nothing of value except a few items, so he simply gave her his account password.

After Miyazawa Itsuki logged in, he saw that the priestess had actually helped him get the item. He thanked her and then put the item up for sale on the exchange.

Miyazawa Itsuki's eyes revealed understanding.

Ah, it's probably because after I left the game, the priestess manipulated his account to enter into a marriage contract in order to obtain some in-game items.

He had heard that in some games, marriage grants exclusive contract skills and items that provide significant bonuses.

Since the pastor's friend is also a female character, the only option is to use his account to enter into the contract.

Miyazawa Itsuki believed this explanation.

"Anyway, there's nothing in this account, so I won't cancel it. I'll leave it to the pastor."

Miyazawa glanced at the [Ring of Eternal Oath] and decided to say goodbye to this short but pleasant online friendship.

But at that moment, his chat window started vibrating frequently.

[Yuuka: Tree-kun!!!]

[Youhua: You're finally back! Youhua missed you so much!!]

[Worry Flower: Worry Flower will be teleported to Tree Lord's side shortly, please wait for me]

Miyazawa Itsuki was a little surprised.

Why did the pastor suddenly come online?

Just now, all the profile pictures in my friends list were gray.

He only has the pastor as a friend. So when he logs on, he can tell whether she's online just by glancing at her friend list and seeing whether her avatar is gray or colorful.

Miyazawa Itsuki waited in place for a few seconds, and a teleportation beam flashed around him.

The role of the pastor is revealed in this.

It was a girl dressed in a white nun's habit, with long silver hair and crimson eyes. A very pretty and cute face model.

The moment she saw Miyazawa Itsuki, ellipses started appearing above her head.

The pastor is typing.

[Worried Flower: Tree Lord Tree Lord Tree Lord Tree Lord Tree Lord]

[Tree Tree Tree: I'm here, Miss Yuhua. Long time no see.]

[Yuhua: I'm so happy that Shujun has finally come back.]

[Yuka: But I'm also a little angry, just a tiny bit.]

[Youhua: Shujun has been away from Youhua for a total of 3,714 hours and 18 minutes. Where has Shujun been all this time, and why did he leave?]

[Yuuka: Is it because you find Yuuka annoying? Or did you create a new account to play with other women? Can I get to know her? Did Shujun cheat on you because her skills are better than Yuuka's?]

The familiar string of words confirmed it was indeed Miss Yuuka herself.

[Shushushu: Stop! Why use the word "cheating"? I don't remember ever being with Miss Youhua.]

[TreeTreeTree: Did Miss Youhua log into my account to get married? I saw the ring in my inventory.]

[Youhua: ...Youhua doesn't know either.]

It felt familiar; the pastor would act silly whenever she encountered a question she didn't want to answer.

[Yuuka: Anyway, it's good that Tree is back. Yuuka isn't angry with Tree anymore. Let's go mining together! While Tree was away, the game updated with lots of new minerals!]

The pastor started sending out team invitations.

[Tree Tree Tree: I'm sorry, Miss Youhua, no]

[Yuuka: Hey, why?]

[TreeTreeTree: This is my last time logging on. I just came back to take care of some things. Since I've met Miss Yuuka, this is a good opportunity to say a proper goodbye.]

[Tree Tree Tree: Thank you, Miss Youhua, for taking care of me these past few days. I'm also very happy to have met you in the game. I hope you can enjoy the game happily in the future. All good things must come to an end, and I'm sorry I can't continue playing with you, Miss Youhua.]

"..."

Silence, and more silence.

The pastor stood there, stunned and motionless.

Even the ellipsis didn't appear above its head, as if the owner behind it was also stunned.

One minute later.

[Yuuka: Eh————————]

[Youhua: No no ...

[Yuuka: Why does Tree-kun have to leave?! If it's because Yuuka is too bad, I'll work hard to improve my skills! If it's because Star and the others are intentionally distancing themselves from Tree-kun, then I'll leave the guild, and we'll create a new guild together. I'll never act with anyone other than Tree-kun again...]

The rapid-fire output showed that the priestess was quite excited.

[TreeTreeTree: It's not Miss Yuhua's fault, it's that my real life has changed, and I can no longer devote as much energy to the game as before. I'm sorry.]

During the two months they spent together with the pastor, they never mentioned the word "reality." It was as if their relationship was just a game.

So, at the moment of parting, he used this as an excuse to finally make the pastor realize what the pull of reality was.

The pastor fell silent again.

Miyazawa Itsuki waited for a while but didn't receive a reply, so he typed something.

[Tree Tree Tree: That's all for now. I hope Miss Youhua can be happy every day. Goodbye.]

After typing this reply, Miyazawa Itsuki prepared to log off.

[Yuuka: Wait a minute!!!]

[Yuuka: I don't want my connection with Shu-kun to end like this.]

Miyazawa Itsuki smiled helplessly.

He was no different.

If it weren't for the immense pressure of reality, he wouldn't mind spending time leisurely in the game every day, like a normal high school student, to extend his time with the priestess.

However, everyone's life path is different. He is not yet entitled to spend his time in games as he pleases.

Miyazawa Itsuki was about to say something more comforting when he saw the message sent by the pastor again.

His gaze froze.

Let's meet in real life.

Chapter 28 Akani Youhua

"..."

Seemingly afraid that Miyazawa Itsuki would refuse, the pastor quickly typed out additional information.

[Yuuka: Although it might sound like I'm bragging, everyone around me says Yuuka is very cute.]

[Yuuka: So I won't make Tree-kun feel awkward.]

[Yuuka: Even if it's not a game, I want to continue spending time with Itsuki-kun.]

Meeting in real life...?

Miyazawa Itsuki was speechless.

He was somewhat surprised by the pastor's dedication to him.

They had only known each other for two months.

But she had to meet a stranger from the internet in person.

He didn't know whether to say that the pastor was too naive or too serious about relationships.

[Tree Tree Tree: Miss Youhua, please take back that sentence.]

[Tree Tree Tree: Miss Youhua is fine with me being the one she suggested, but if it were someone else, I might be deceived.]

[Tree Tree Tree: This is very bad for Miss Yuuka]

[Yuuka: I only said it because it's Tree-kun; I can't say it if it's not Tree-kun.]

[Tree Tree Tree: No, even I can't, right?]

[Tree Tree Tree: I might also deceive Miss Youhua.]

[Yuuka: I believe Shu-kun wouldn't lie to me.]

[Yuuka: Moreover, Shu-kun's first thought was always for me. Saying these things made me realize even more that going to see Shu-kun was the right decision.]

Miyazawa Itsuki gave a wry smile in front of the screen.

What is it about me that makes the pastor value me so much?

Is it really worth this much attention just for talking to her, occasionally praising her, and thanking her?

After thinking for a while, Miyazawa Itsuki typed a reply.

[Tree Tree Tree: In that case, I have a suggestion]

[Tree Tree Tree: Meeting in real life is too early for both of us. Miss Youhua also needs time to consider things carefully before making a hasty decision.]

[Shushushu: So, I can give Miss Youhua my LINE number so we can continue our online communication elsewhere, but I might not respond as frequently.]

[Tree Tree Tree: What does Miss Youhua think?]

After hearing his words, the pastor stood there in a daze.

Two minutes later, an ellipsis appeared.

[Yuuka: I want it! Itsuki-kun's LINE]

[Yuuka: Although I'm very unwilling to not be able to see Tree-kun for the time being, I also want to see other sides of Tree-kun.]

[Yuka: And I will definitely get Shu-kun to agree to meet me on LINE! If Shu-kun feels that two months of friendship is too shallow, I will try my best to deepen our friendship until Shu-kun feels it is right.]

Miyazawa Itsuki sighed and laughed.

Seeing that the other party still hadn't given up on the idea of ​​meeting in real life, he felt somewhat helpless.

[Tree Tree Tree: Miss Yuhua thinks too highly of me. She might be disappointed after we meet.]

[Tree Tree Tree: I may not be as good as Miss Yuhua thinks, and I may not even be good-looking enough to please Miss Yuhua. I may even have done something inappropriate to Miss Yuhua.]

[Shushushu: I'm saying this to let Miss Youhua know that she shouldn't place too much trust in online relationships, even if that person is me.]

[Yuuka: I will never dislike Shu-kun no matter what he looks like.]

[Yuuka: But what do you mean by "excessive"?]

[Shushushu: It's harassment. Miss Youhua is a lovely girl, isn't she? There are plenty of bad people on the internet who prey on innocent and cute girls; we need to be vigilant.]

[Yuuka: Tree-kun...would you do that kind of thing to me?]

[Tree Tree Tree: I was just giving an example.]

The pastor remained silent for a moment.

[Yuuka: If it's Tree-kun... if doing this would make Tree-kun agree to stay by my side]

[Yuuka: I can have Tree-kun... harass me, I'll tolerate it]

Miyazawa Itsuki was stunned.

Miss Pastor, do you know what you're saying?

[Tree Tree Tree: ...]

[Tree Tree Tree: Does Miss Youhua really know the meaning of harassment?]

[Yuuka: Doesn't it just mean you like to say cheesy things?]

[Yuka: Although those words were very harsh, I think if it were Tree-kun who said them to me, I might be happy. Isn't that a bit strange?]
