Hearing the words of the boy in that daughter's body, Miyasui Toshiki let out a long sigh of relief, and his body, which had been tightened, also relaxed.

As the body relaxed, the chaotic memories in my head just now seemed to become orderly. Among them, the first thing is the conversation between the two when they first met and separated from the second leaf.。

At that time, I came to visit the palace water shrine as a folklorist.,My wife's mother was quite impatient with her arrival.,Handed over the reception task to the two leaves who were not his wife at that time.。

Even if so much time has passed, as long as he recalls that time, Toshiki Miyazui can't help but indulge in his wife's style. Unlike the old-fashioned mother,Erye makes people feel extremely comfortable both in terms of speaking and doing.,I'm already looking forward to the next meeting before we separate.。

Then, at the time of separation, he asked about the thing that he had been concerned about for a long time.

"You seemed taken aback at the sight of my face when I came to my door, but you quickly smiled again. What's going on? ”

Erye's good-looking face was still full of smiles, but he looked a little embarrassed, and the words he said scared him:

"I can't say why, but the first time I saw you, I thought you would be my husband. Why, exactly? It's incredible. ”

When she spoke, Erye looked nonchalant, and when she saw her surprised expression, she turned her face away, held her cheeks with her hands, and let out a small exclamation in her mouth:

"Oh, me, that's weird...... Isn't that weird? ”

yes, weird? Miyamizu Toshiki can't remember how he answered at the time. But at this moment, he still has a clear answer in his heart: It's not strange, I also have a familiar feeling when I meet you, as if I have known you for a long time.

The two of them who met for the first time were rusty and polite with honorifics, and thinking about that memory at the moment still made Miyasui Toshiki feel warm and interesting, as well as missing.

"So, you and Aunt Futaba did have the experience of exchanging bodies?"

The sudden voice interrupted Miyamizu Toshiki's memories, and his eyes regained focus, only to realize that he had unconsciously spoken out of that memory.

Really, is it because the ups and downs of the mind are too great? He secretly blamed himself. But,If you've also swapped bodies with two leaves.,That's reasonable.,But why don't you remember each other?

"And when I go back to my body, my memories of the exchange become very blurry. Maybe after the exchange is completely over, it will become like you and Aunt Futaba.,Maybe you only have a vague impression of each other.。 Kyosuke Hojo didn't wait for the other party to think, and then said his speculation.

"This ......" Miyamizu Toshiki's eyes widened, and everything seemed to have an explanation.

Just like the current Sanye is called a god witch.,Erye will be like knowing everything.,It's also because she sees things through her own eyes that she hasn't been exposed to.。 Although the memories of each other will disappear after the body exchange, some common sense things will be retained?

It is also because of this that the wife has such a high impression of herself who only met for the first time, and fought hard with her mother in order to marry her. And supporting himself at the expense of falling out with his family, and saying goodbye to the teacher in the school is not love at first sight, but the two have a deep relationship before?

"So that's it, that's how it is......," Miyazumi Toshiki muttered, he picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, and was about to drink it only to find that it was empty.

Kyosuke Hojo now knows that Miyasui Mitsuba's father would not respect him so much before, not because of Nara's ancient rites, but because he regarded himself as an unknown god, which of course became eye-catching again. Hurriedly picked up the teapot from the tray and helped Miyasui Toshiki add tea.

"Please." Instant displacement of offense and defense.

"It seems like the first time I've drunk the tea my daughter poured me in four years, and I didn't expect it to be like this."

Toshiki Miyasui looked at the amber translucent tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly. The worries that had been in his heart were solved, and he also knew the secret between himself and his wife, and he was in a good mood for a while, and he had time to think about other things.

"Well, forgive me for taking the liberty of doing so, even if you want to enter politics, it doesn't seem like there's any need to leave Miyasui Shrine, right?" Seeing that the opportunity is not to be missed, life mentor Kyosuke Hojo decisively cut into the battlefield, and yesterday the sentence "Dad ran away from home" has been playing in his head, like a fish in his throat, he really can't forget.

If there is still a father in the family, the four leaves will never be happy like this because of a bicycle, maybe you can go to school every morning in the mayor's father's car or something.。 At first, Kyosuke Hojo saw that Yotsuha was wearing shorts and short sleeves every day and thought it was the uniform dress of the children in the neon countryside, but later when he sent Yotsuha to school, he found that her classmates were also wearing beautiful little skirts. Yotsuba's childhood,It really made Kyosuke Hojo feel sad.,Fortunately, it's still too late to save it.。

And Hojo Kyosuke knows that Miyasui Toshiki was originally called Mizoguchi Toshiki, and the reason why he didn't restore his original surname after running away from home is probably borrowing the influence of the Miyasui family in Itomori Town. Otherwise, in a closed town like Itomori, it would definitely not be so simple for an outsider like him to become the mayor in a short period of time.

In this case, even if he wants to enter politics, it will not affect him to continue to stay at Miyasui Shrine, and it doesn't matter if he even continues to serve as the god master. After all, as far as Kyosuke Hojo knows, Miyasui Shrine does not belong to the shrine main hall, and many of the rules are different from ordinary shrines. The shrine main hall, which manages more than 79,000 of the 80,000 neon shrines, has many rules of its own, but Miyasui Shrine has a much higher authority than him in this place.

If Toshiki Miyasui is still the god master, he may not even need to run for election. Just like the current Miyasui Mitsuba.,If she says she wants to be the mayor of the town.,Maybe the townspeople will launch an initiative to "suggest that 14-year-old girls can also participate in the management of the local government.。

"It's not what you think, although I am indeed borrowing the power of the surname Gong Shui, but if I stay there, my wish will never come true, and the tragedy will still repeat."

Faced with this face like his daughter, Miyasui Toshiki unconsciously said a little more, but then he became angry again. Yes, it's because of this kid that Sanye will become a witch! The townspeople will regard the three leaves as a god who surpasses the two leaves. After all, Sanye has not shown his wife's extraordinary talent since he was a child.,Now it's become so good under the influence of this kid.。

"Tragedy?" Kyosuke Hojo wondered if he could only think of a comet hitting the Earth in the words of Itomori's tragedy.

"It's all because of you.,Sanye has become the same as Erye!" Miyasui Toshiki was angry, not a god, just a kid who didn't know the origin of the boy who was using his daughter's body to do nonsense. Although he may have done something similar when he swapped bodies with his wife, he is now a father.

“…… I know you're angry, but don't worry, at least let me know why you're angry. After all, you see, the exchange of bodies was not caused by me, so I don't know what kind of arrangement there is in the dark. ”

"What are you kidding, if that's the case again, have you been brainwashed by the Gongshui family?"

What Kyosuke Hojo didn't expect was that as soon as he said that, the man opposite seemed to be even more angry.

"At that time, Erye was like this.,It's like this.,That's why I want to completely destroy this stupid place!"

Hey, ruining this place or something, it's too hot-blooded. Uncle, you don't have a cursor above your head, so don't pretend to be the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic. Kyosuke Hojo complained frantically in his heart, then raised his hand and pressed it twice, trying to calm down the angry man.

"Let's talk slowly, there may be some misunderstanding, start from the beginning. What is the tragedy you talked about before?,What did Aunt Erye say?,What will happen if Sanye and Aunt Erye become the same.。 "It's not a riddler, he's going to be banished.

Lifting the somewhat cold tea and drinking it all, Miyasui Toshiki turned his head to look out the window and took two deep breaths.

Kyosuke Hojo also turned his head with his movements, only to find that the outside of the window was facing the Miyasui Shrine on the top of the mountain. The yellow light came on, and he remembered that the place seemed to be Kaguraden, where Miyamizu Mitsuha and his sister practiced Kagura dance under the guidance of their grandmother.

"My wife, Miyasui Futaba, was killed."

Surprise!

Kyosuke Hojo was taken aback by these words, and quickly moved his gaze from the window to the face of the man opposite. But I saw that the other party was still looking at the Miyasui Shrine, and there was indescribable hatred in his eyes. This made him just want to blurt out who the murderer was swallowed in his stomach again, it can't be killed by his grandmother or four leaves, right?

So Kyosuke Hojo, a swordsman who is famous in Tokyo, put down the knife in his heart and decided to listen carefully and preside over justice without being in a hurry. He knew that once he opened the conversation, he didn't need to urge himself to continue talking.

Sure enough, although Miyasui Toshiki turned his head and glared at Kyosuke Hojo because he didn't wait for the person who was cheering, he also continued:

"Soon after the four leaves were born, the second leaf got sick.,I don't know if it's because I'm subconsciously repulsive.,I never remember what it was.,I just know that the immune cells in her whole body are out of control.。 But even though she is very sick, she still refuses to go to the hospital, do you know why? ”

Kyosuke Hojo still didn't speak, he knew that the man opposite didn't need to respond, he was asking his memory of himself.

"Because, she is the shrine maiden of Miyasui Shrine, the messenger of the gods in the hearts of the townspeople, and the agent of the gods. And why does such an existence need to go to a modern medical facility for treatment? ”

Every word of these words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and just listening to it, Kyosuke Hojo could feel the monstrous hatred that Toshiki Miyasui had for the townspeople and for Miyasui Shrine. He also understood why the other party would say that the tragedy would be repeated in the three leaves.

"Even if she was sent to the hospital because she fainted, she still refused to go to the hospital in the big city, and in the ordinary hospital in this small place, I could only watch my wife fight the disease alone and painfully, and her condition deteriorated day by day."

It seemed that he was gradually returning to the memory that he could never forget, and Kyosuke Hojo saw that the man opposite him was trembling uncontrollably, and he clenched his hands so hard that his finger bones wanted to break out of the flesh wrap.

He couldn't help but think of Sakura, if Sakura didn't cooperate with the treatment like this, he would forcibly take him to a better hospital no matter what, right? However, if the healing is too painful, he may not be able to bear it, but at that time, Sakura will definitely smile and comfort him that he is not in pain at all. No way, he has always been so indecisive in the face of his beloved.

"My wife seemed to have given up all her desire to survive, and even when I knelt in front of the hospital bed and begged her, she just smiled and said to me, 'Everyone has a place to belong'. Is she going to leave me and my daughters behind for that ridiculous reason? ”

Hearing this, Kyosuke Hojo knew why Toshiki Miyasui was angry because of what he said before, and what he said was free to arrange in the dark was indeed very similar to what Aunt Futaba said.

"I will never allow, as a highly educated person, I will never agree that the development of modern medical technology is to save the previous powerless tragedies!"

Yes, I think so too! Kyosuke Hojo applauded in his heart, even if the medical technology is not good, I still have an all-powerful system, and it is absolutely impossible for the plot to kill something!

"Just after I contacted a major hospital in Tokyo that specializes in treating immune system diseases, I received a call from the hospital, Futaba her, died."

Kyosuke Hojo was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that the death of so many legendary Aunt Futaba would be so ordinary and sloppy.

"All she left me with was the more inexplicable words, 'This is not a farewell'. However, isn't the so-called death goodbye?! ”

Speaking of this, Toshiki Miyasui actually cried. Then he raised his head and looked at Kyosuke Hojo, and the latter was taken aback by the hideous expression for that moment. didn't care about complaining about Yan Yi's performance or the like, Kyosuke Hojo was quickly shocked by the other party's next words.

"Regarding the death of Erye, none of the townspeople who usually revere her very much showed a sad expression, 'Miss Erye is too good, too good, so she was called by God's grace early', each of them said something like this."

The expression on Toshiki Miyamizu's face at the moment was very strange, like a smile, but he kept crying, and the corners of his mouth were bent down. Kyosuke Hojo thought for a while before finding a similar expression in his head, that is, the clown who went to the psychiatrist because of depression, but was advised by the doctor to see the clown's smile.

"Even my wife's mother, the deity of the Miyasui Shrine, she said, 'Since Futaba said that this is her destination, let her go.' Such bastard words. But,Erye she's a living person.。 Why did he refuse to go to the hospital, refused to go to the hospital in the big city, it was all because of them! ”

The scene described in Miyamizu Toshiki made Hojo Kyosuke shudder, even if an unfamiliar neighbor died of illness, he would sigh about the impermanence of the world and send silk gold. But in Itomori, in the face of Miyasui Futaba's death, the townspeople's reaction was so weak? Ruthless? Bizarre?

How could an angel of God be sick? She must have gotten sick because of God's grace, right? Kyosuke Hojo finally understood the source of Toshiki Miyamizu's anger, which is why he would say that Aunt Futaba was killed, and no one knows if her illness could be cured, but it is true that she may have given up her desire to survive because of this.

He can understand Miyasui Toshiki's anger, he can't forgive the crazy townsfolk and Miyasui Kazuha, someone must pay for his wife's death, otherwise the anger in his heart can't be calmed.

Sure enough, Toshiki Miyamizu's words confirmed his guess.

"Underneath the town of Itomori, there is a large invisible net, and everyone is in the grid, and in the center is the Miyasui Shrine, and it is this net that binds my wife. She would do something so abnormal before she died, precisely because the people in this big net cast strange eyes at her!

Miyasui Shrine refers to the relationship between people and people, things and things, and people and things as gods.

In other words, Futaba she was betrayed by God. This ignorant faith, this damn relationship, is the murderer who killed Erye! ”

Toshiki Miyasui gritted his teeth and said his conclusion.

"That's why you want to go into politics and change this town?" Kyosuke Hojo guessed.

"It's not about changing, it's about destroying! I am angry with the foolish people who have been brainwashed by the gods, and I am also angry at the ethereal gods, and I want to destroy this place ruled by the faith of Miyasui Shrine! It's all because of this kind of thing, Erye can't even die normally like ordinary people! This kind of town, which should not exist in modern society at all, should be completely destroyed. ”

Well, I thought it was hot-blooded, but I didn't expect it to become a demon in a flash.

"But,Wouldn't you just leave here with your grandmother and Sanye and Siye? With your ability, you can make a greater difference no matter where you are, right? ”

Shouldn't normal people's minds leave this sad place? Uncle, what you just said is too much like a villain, you know? However, he also knew that if he wasn't the person concerned, he couldn't really experience the unforgettable hatred of losing his lover, but he didn't want to experience it.

“…… As I said before, the anger in my heart cannot be appeased if no one pays the price. And,And the three leaves and the four leaves chose to stay at the palace water shrine when I left home! Miyasui Toshiki said sadly.

"Click"

The sudden sound of taking pictures brought Miyamizu Toshiki back to his senses.

"What are you doing?" Is there something wrong with this kid who occupies his daughter's body? Why do you want to take a picture of yourself at this time? What was he thinking?

"Look at what you look like now.,I think even now,Sanye and Shiye will still be scared to leave with you.。

Kyosuke Hojo raised his phone and said, for Aunt Futaba's death, the reactions of the townspeople and Toshiki Miyasui were completely two extremes, the former was too indifferent, and the latter was so sad that his daughters were scared.

Is that yourself? Toshiki Miyasui looked at the ghost-like person on the phone screen, and couldn't believe it for a while.

Yes, after the death of his wife, the most comforting people are actually the young three leaves and four leaves, but he washes his face with tears all day long, and his daughter is completely taken care of by his grandmother. From time to time, the daughters would tiptoe over to see how they were doing, but they would be frightened by their appearance.

Even when he left the shrine, he had a violent argument with his wife's mother, completely ignoring the daughters who were hugging each other in fear.

Yes, compared to myself like this, or in that one, the grandmother who took care of and comforted the two granddaughters who lost their mother and father while handling their daughter's funeral in those most difficult days was more willing to be relied on, right? Or is it that shrine full of mother's atmosphere that makes them feel more at ease?

Toshiki Miyasui was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to make at all. You must know that he also had a faint resentment in his heart about his daughters who were unwilling to leave with him. However, he had no idea at all that it was all self-inflicted.

"See, I was wrong all along?" He lowered his head and muttered, the remaining tears on his face pooling into a line and falling into the teacup, the amber tea rippling in circles.

Kyosuke Hojo didn't speak, just quietly turned his head to look out the window, he never said anything to others...... Well, he said something about someone else's family matter, but at this time, it was obvious that the other party already had an answer in his heart.

"Mother, Sanye, ...... Shiba" Toshiki Miyamizu, who didn't get a response, raised his head and looked at Kyosuke Hojo's line of sight, with a deep longing on his face.

The neon man calls the mother-in-law the righteous mother, which is directly expressed as the mother.

When the knot in the hearts of the daughters is untied, countless good memories between father and daughter come to mind, bringing irrepressible longing.

"So, Uncle Gong Shui, do you want to go home with me? My sister misses your runaway father very much. ”

Nope
