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

Miyazawa Itsuki had fallen silent for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

[TreeTreeTree: While this behavior certainly qualifies as harassment, it's nowhere near as bad as what I'm describing.]

[Tree Tree Tree: But Miss Yuhua, it's best if you don't know about these things. Let's end this topic.]

The pastor seemed to be well taken care of, and Miyazawa Itsuki didn't want her to be exposed to such boring things.

[Yuuka: Hmm, shall we switch to LINE to chat?]

[TreeTreeTree: Sure, Miss Youhua, please add me.]

Miyazawa Itsuki sent his LINE account ID.

The pastor was made to stand as punishment again, and a short while later, Miyazawa Itsuki's phone beeped.

He opened the LINE friend request page, and a person with the ID "Akanishi" and the default profile picture sent him a friend request.

Miyazawa Itsuki clicked "Accept".

"Akanishi" first sent a cute sticker to say hello.

[Akanishi: Shu-kun! ! ! ]

[Akanishi: Is this Itsuki-kun's account? It's so simple.]

It seems he went to browse through his own post thread.

Miyazawa Itsuki's eyes flickered slightly.

Akanishi...youhua?

It sounds like a complete name.

Could this kid have used their surname and first name as their ID?

They were far too unprepared.

Although I'm not much better myself.

Miyazawa Itsuki's private LINE contacts are all acquaintances, so he simply set his ID to "Itsuki".

[Tree: Yes, unfortunately there's nothing worth seeing.]

He only registered his LINE account in high school, which is considered very late for someone from Japan who starts using LINE in middle school or even elementary school.

Aside from some early posts documenting everyday life, there isn't much content on LINE.

[Akanishi: Is "Itsuki" Itsuki-kun's real name?]

[Tree: Hmm]

[Akanishi: Haha, Hoshino even argued that this definitely couldn't be his real name and told me not to call him "Kizu-kun." Looks like I won.]

[Tree: Really? Is that so?]

[Akanishi: Yeah, I understand. Hoshino is a little sensitive to that title because of some things that happened in the past. That's why I don't call Itsuki-kun that in front of them; I always call him "Swordsman-sensei."]

[Akanishi: Tree-kun is my one and only Tree-kun, hehehe]

Miyazawa Itsuki chuckled.

He then checked the time; it was getting late. He should rest.

[Tree: Now that we've added each other on LINE, I'll log off the game now.]

[Akanishi: Wait, wait, wait! ]

The pastor hurriedly stopped him.

Miyazawa Itsuki was confused until the other party sent a message saying, "There's still something we can do in the game."

in the game.

[Worried Flower: Tree, please come with me]

The pastor led him to the cabin by the lake.

The view shifts to the small house, and a line of text appears:

【The Home of Trees & Sorrowful Flowers】

As it's a national-level game in this world, the realism is very well done. The houses are basically a one-to-one scale with reality.

Miyazawa Itsuki followed the pastor into the cottage, where a warm and delicate home design was found.

It's clear that the owner put a lot of thought into it.

The pastor led him on a tour of the exhibition room inside the cabin.

[Yuuka: Tree-kun, look, this is the dragon horn that fell when we first challenged the Demon Dragon. I've kept it all this time. I was almost dead then, and Tree-kun stood in front of me the whole time, protecting me without ever backing down.]

Miyazawa Itsuki remembers this.

Dragon horns were a very popular material at the time, and it was quite rare to come across one.

So he never considered giving up and painstakingly completed the campaign without the support of a priest. He was almost exhausted to death.

[Youhua: And this is the first rare fish we've ever caught.]

I remember I was in a really bad mood at the time, and Shujun noticed that something was wrong. She took me fishing to cheer me up and listened to my complaints without any disgust at all.

Miyazawa Itsuki stared at the dazed fish leisurely swimming in the fish tank.

The pastor seemed a bit down, as if she was having some trouble in her life.

Just then, the probability of finding rare fish in the game increased, so he took the other person to the lake to fish and sell the catch.

In reality, I was grinding experience points on the panel while listening to the priestess's rambling.

After listening, it wasn't really a big deal.

The story is roughly about how the pastor, due to some events in real life, was doubted and distrusted by a group of friends who were originally very close to her, which led to negative emotions.

Miyazawa Itsuki said some comforting words to her.

He himself has no recollection of what exactly he said.

All I know is that in the following days, the pastor sent word that she and her friends had resolved their misunderstandings and reconciled. Congratulations!

The pastor led Miyazawa Itsuki past a series of display stands, each containing an item that held profound memories for him, regardless of its value.

The pastor recounted the stories associated with the items. It was amazing how clearly she remembered them.

Finally, the two stopped at the end of the exhibition hall.

[Yuuka: This is all I wanted to show Tree-kun]

[Youhua: This little house holds precious memories for me and Shujun. I originally intended to keep adding new things to it until we moved to a bigger house.]

[Yuuka: But Tree-kun left later, so there's no way to add any new memories now.]

At this point, the pastor seemed a little dejected, but she quickly cheered up again.

[Yuuka: But it's okay, Yuuka can also create new memories with Tree-kun outside of the game, which feels even better.]

[Tree Tree Tree: It doesn't have to end like this; there might still be opportunities in the future.]

[Yuuka: Huh?]

[TreeTreeTree: Whether in reality or in a game, life is never static. Maybe one day when I'm done with my work, I'll come back to the game and create new memories with Miss Yuuka.]

[TreeTreeTree: Hmm... I might even meet Miss Yuuka in real life and become friends.]

[Yuuka: ...!]

[Yuuka: I know Tree-kun would never lie to me, so it's a promise!]

The pastor seemed very excited.

He did not deny it.

Since the future is uncertain, Miyazawa Itsuki did not make any substantial promises.

He didn't plan to return to a normal life until things were over with Shiori.

She was always busy with her job and studies with her rented boyfriend, so she naturally had no time to meet with the pastor.

This promise can naturally be delayed indefinitely.

The other person can't possibly come looking for me in real life.

……

Is Chapter 29 about Miyazawa-kun from Sakura Ryou High School?

A luxury villa complex in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.

In the quiet room, the girl took off her headset.

"Tree Lord..."

She stared at the now-grayed profile picture and murmured to herself.

"Finally... you said it."

An agreement to meet in real life.

I've wanted to see him for a long time.

Tree-kun listens to me gently, and is very mature in his dealings with others.

And, Tree-kun, who said he would always support me.

On that day, when the girl heard Shujun say those words, she cried behind the screen.

At that time, she was facing a career slump because she was caught up in a baseless rumor and was hated by everyone.

Fans who once trusted her so much left harsh comments in her comment section.

The blow was too great, so she had to escape into the game.

Then, for the first time, I was invited by Shujun and received his comfort and guidance.

I received some rather embarrassing messages.

It was then that the girl finally understood.

It turns out that there are people who can trust me unconditionally.

They will protect themselves and care for themselves, regardless of their appearance, fame, or wealth.

Even without all those fancy things, Tree-kun can still treat himself seriously. Without the slightest impurity.

It's the pure emotion I've been searching for.

From that day on, the girl's mindset became distorted.

The support of fans, the recognition from everyone. It doesn't matter how it is.

It doesn't matter if all the fans leave me, or if I am misunderstood by everyone.

I still have Tree Lord to trust and rely on.

As long as Tree-kun is there, I can keep going.

The girl, Akanishi Yuuka, turned her gaze to her phone screen.

The above shows an ID window named "Tree".

Although she once carelessly caused Tree-kun to disappear from her side, Yuuka will not make the same mistake again.

She no longer wants to recall those depressing days.

Akanishi Yuuka sincerely apologized for causing so much trouble to Hoshino and Akane, and for bringing her work to a standstill.

But now that Tree-kun is back, his problem has been solved.

An idol's career can naturally continue.

The group's popularity is rising rapidly, and they may reach their goal sooner than expected.

After becoming a national idol group and gaining top popularity, Xingxing also got her wish and got noticed by her childhood sweetheart who had lost contact with her, thus reuniting with her.

Ms. Akane can also use her idol popularity to revitalize the shrine and kendo in her hometown.

As for myself...
