This gave Mitsuha the illusion of facing her own mother.
"Didn't you say last night when you left that we were friends?"
The girl paused, her deep brown eyes flickering.
"..."
"And Mitsuha is very healthy."
Despite the girl's silence, Aoba continued talking to herself.
Even after being amplified by the Gluttony skill, he could still sense the hidden power within the girl's body.
It is a strength that will never be inferior to that of an adult male.
"Besides, becoming a girl is really novel, and it's nice to experience the joys of student life again..."
"It brings back a long-lost sense of youth."
Aoba's words were very gentle.
But the gentler he was, the less the true owner of the body beside him could understand.
"It's clearly...it's all my fault that I dragged the store manager into this...why...why isn't the store manager angry at all..."
The girl buried her head deeply in her bent legs.
The muffled voice carried a great deal of confusion.
"Angry? Shouldn't it be you, Miyamizu, who should be angry?"
Aoba turned her head to the side, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"If I see your body or something."
"You... Manager, you're not allowed to mention this again!"
"Haha, well, let's not talk about it anymore, but you have to promise me you won't be sad."
"I'm not sad, it's just..."
Scared.
I'm afraid that if Aoba comes here, she won't be able to go back.
She was afraid that Aoba would blame her for this.
A series of accidents caused by his own mistakes.
The girl roughly pulled them all onto herself.
"Are you scared?"
Hearing the girl's abruptly stopped words, Qingye turned her head and smiled at the lingering fear on her face. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"Hmm~"
The girl responded with a muffled sound.
"Although I don't know why I ended up here after just one night's sleep, there's always a way."
Aoba smiled and ruffled the girl's hair.
He was very confident.
Perhaps it was that unknown system, or perhaps he simply didn't belong to this time and space.
He could sense a faint sense of alienation.
Moreover, the good fortune brought by the divine gifts is still in effect.
There's no need to worry too much; they'll naturally go back when it's time.
"The store manager's explanation was far too perfunctory..."
Perhaps because Aoba, as the person involved, was so relaxed, Mitsuha also joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).
The store manager is clearly relying on my body now.
Her face flushed slightly, but she hid it in her soft complaints, so that Qingye wouldn't notice.
"Is it just a perfunctory response?" Aoba tilted her head and smiled. "It's alright, but it would be good if Miyamizu-san didn't cry so sadly anymore."
"I didn't cry!!"
"Hmm, she didn't cry. Just now, drool came out of her eyes. Miyamizu must be hungry."
"Ah~! Shop manager~~!!!"
Even when a girl is angry, she is still adorable.
Seeing Mitsuha regain her vitality, Aoba breathed a sigh of relief.
however.
"jingle--"
The sound of Lingyi Lingqi's "〦卅" was heard, causing Mitsuha's expression to change drastically.
That's the school bell!
The girl turned to look at Aoba with a mournful face.
"This is it..."
Aoba was so focused on comforting the girl that he didn't notice the time.
It's just being late for class.
He patted the girl's head and smiled helplessly:
"Do you believe I have nine ways to deal with being late for class?"
"Stop with the nine methods, or you'll definitely be punished by running laps again."
Indoor stadium.
"Miyamizu Mitsuha is late?"
The burly, physically imposing physical education teacher was very serious.
The classrooms assembled inside the stadium were completely silent.
"If Miyamizu Mitsuha is a few minutes late, you'll have to run a few laps!"
It seemed that the PE teacher was in a bad mood today, and even his words carried a hint of venting.
The words fell.
Immediately, some people in the class started whispering among themselves.
"How could you do that?!"
"It's all Miyamizu's fault!!"
"That guy just stood out in class today, and now we're all getting punished because of him..."
"That old-fashioned shrine maiden can't even keep to the time?"
The offensive remarks were almost all directed at the girl who had not yet arrived.
The PE teacher didn't stop the growing discussion; he just stood aside and watched.
Hayato Sayaka, standing behind the class group chat, stamped her foot anxiously, her eyes constantly glancing towards the stadium entrance:
"What do we do now?!"
Mitsuha was perfectly fine in the locker room just now.
The envoy, Katsuhiko Kawahara, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also turned around and looked at Sayaka.
His gaze seemed to be asking a question.
Sayaka shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Time passed just like that...
five minutes later.
A figure carrying the unique sunny vibe of Itomori Town walked into the stadium.
In the eyes of everyone.
The girl, with a long-sleeved shirt tied around her waist and wearing athletic shorts, was completely different from her previous timid and indecisive self.
Her short hair was neatly tied back at the back of her head and secured with a small hair tie in a ponytail.
The gentle smile on his face seemed to encompass all unease.
"Mitsuba~!"
Upon seeing the girl's arrival, Sayaka was the first to react.
He immediately waved to Aoba.
"Here! Here!!"
Her voice was loud, which attracted a lot of attention.
"嘁~!"
Looking at her completely different outfit (which Zhao Hao had given her), I noticed something.
Among the students, there was a considerable amount of rejection towards individuals with strong personalities.
Or rather, adolescence is a time when people huddle together for warmth and support.
When an unusual individual appears in a group, then targeting will inevitably follow.
"No wonder she's the mayor's daughter!"
"She's a shrine maiden at Miyamizu Shrine, so naturally she needs our worship~"
"Being five minutes late means five laps..."
"Harmful evil spirit!"
If it were a girl from the past...
