Reunion.
It is a kind of luck, no matter when or where.
"I'll apologize to Yotsuba in person next time I go there."
Aoba stood at the door, smiling and greeting Nakano Ichika as she prepared to leave.
In the girl's hands, he was also carrying a dessert that he had just baked.
Consider it a gift for meeting after many years.
"Okay, then I won't tell Yotsuba and the others yet."
There was a hint of cunning in the girl's eyes.
She didn't want to tell her sisters Aoba's identity so soon.
Perhaps she had a little bit of personal motive in this.
Let her have a little more time.
This was considered a reward for the hard-won recovery of his favor.
There's not much time, just a week.
this time.
It belongs to her!
"Sure," Aoba nodded with a smile.
"Who do you think will recognize you first, Aoba-ge?"
Ichika touched her lips, perfectly displaying the elegance of a mature woman.
"I didn't expect Ichika to play pranks, but... I'll take this prank."
Looking at the girl's face, Aoba agreed earnestly.
"Then... an alliance?"
The girl held out her hand.
"A temporary alliance."
Qingye stepped forward and grasped it.
For an instant.
Both of them simultaneously wore smiles of success at their prank.
The flower departed joyfully.
Aoba watched the girl's retreating figure and sighed softly.
Perhaps we don't need an alliance.
Even before he recognized Yotsuba, the girl who was so considerate of others seemed to have already recognized him. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
The five sisters are still the same as before.
That's already very good.
It's the weekend, so there probably won't be anyone in the store during the day.
Aoba organized the information that Futaro had given her into categories.
Based on the transcript provided by Yotsuba, all the basic knowledge points were summarized in one document.
If the girl can fully grasp this information, her grades should be able to reach above the passing grade.
Find some time to have Ichika take it back.
And the idol application form that girl filled out.
Aoba rubbed his temples.
However, since it was the girl's idea...
He decided to respect the custom and sent a greeting to the opossum via his phone.
After all, I watched them grow up...
It would be nice to take care of them.
After completing all this.
Aoba got up and stretched. After not resting for several days, he finally noticed a bit of mental fatigue.
Let's stay in bed for the rest of the time, something we haven't done in ages.
Rest during the day and work in the evening.
He's practically a night owl now.
Pull down and lock the shop's roller shutter, then go up to the second floor through the other small door.
Aoba lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
At that moment, the red rope inside the bar counter on the first floor had already been quietly tied around his wrist.
The Miyamizu family has been the shrine maidens of Itomori for generations.
In this remote town far from the city.
Legend has it that a god once appeared there.
The Miyamizu family were priestesses specially appointed by the gods.
The Miyamizu Shrine has been passed down from generation to generation, with each generation of daughters from the Miyamizu family becoming shrine maidens.
They took on the responsibility of protecting Itomori Town.
However, in this era where miracles are no longer observed...
The people living here have gradually forgotten the key reason why Itomori is a paradise on earth.
"Huh?! Don't you feel disgusted doing that kind of thing in front of everyone?"
"Aren't shrines and such just stories for kids? Mitsuha, you're taking it way too seriously."
"Will Mitsuha also be attending the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
"We'll go check it out then."
"Haha, don't say that. What if Mitsuha hears this and decides not to go?"
The familiar school bell...
It carries a strong, scholarly air, reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink painting.
And, from all around, the constant stream of young children talking.
Aoba frowned, as if he were dreaming of his long-lost school days. The feeling of exhaustion from waking up instantly from the dream made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
My head feels heavy, and my arms are a little sore and numb.
My shoulders and neck felt sore and strained, as if I were carrying a heavy load.
"Um?!"
"Stop talking, Mitsuha's almost awake."
The sound of people talking could be heard around me.
Aoba's brows furrowed even deeper. Mitsuha?
Is this the girl who came to the store last night?
A girl named Miyamizu Mitsuha?
Why did I dream about her name?
Feeling the blinding light coming from in front of her, Qingye slowly opened her eyes.
In an instant!
The whole world seemed to stop at that moment.
A school I don't recognize at all, classmates I have absolutely no memory of.
Everything was completely unfamiliar.
Only...
"Eh~?!"
A girl's exclamation made Qingye turn her head.
Right in front of him, Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had just visited the shop the night before, was floating in the air, staring at him in surprise!
"The...the store manager?!"
A slight blush appeared on the girl's chubby face from surprise.
But in the blink of an eye, he had a long face.
"Why is the store manager on me?!"
On your body?
Aoba was somewhat puzzled.
Before he could figure it out, the school bell rang again.
The surrounding students fell silent instantly and went to their seats.
The teacher who came in was someone Aoba didn't recognize at all.
"The results of the last exam are out. Those who didn't pass need to keep working harder."
The homeroom teacher's voice sounded unfamiliar.
However, the announcement of exam results will always cause a stir, no matter which school it is.
A few soft, fragmented discussions began to emerge in the classroom.
Perhaps because this happened often, the homeroom teacher didn't pay attention and instead announced something else.
