Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

After paying the money, Miyamizu Mitsuba stepped out of the car and carefully arranged her clothes, which had no wrinkles at all.

We will meet soon, Kyosuke.

From the parking area, walk onto the sidewalk and cross the zebra crossing. While walking in the middle of the road, the girl realized how tall Hojo Kyosuke was. He could cross one and a half squares of such a wide zebra crossing in one step.

As long as she raised her head, she could see the familiar yet unfamiliar apartment. Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the sound was so loud that she could clearly hear it even on such a street.

Really, calm down, Mitsuha Miyamizu, how are you going to meet Kyosuke like this? He will be taken to the hospital for a physical examination as soon as you meet him, right? Raising her hand and pressing her chest heavily, the girl frowned slightly, feeling a little distressed.

Compared to yesterday, the trees in the green belt in front of the apartment looked newer and tenderer, probably because of the rain.

Thinking this, Miyamizu Mitsuha looked towards the carport.

Huh? Why isn't Rocket 33 here?

Blinking his eyes, he stopped walking towards the apartment and walked towards the carport. It was obviously here when I saw it yesterday? After checking carefully several times but still not seeing the motorcycle that looked like a big black cat, the girl tilted her head and began to worry again.

Could it be that Kyousuke has already gone out? But it’s still early for the autograph session.

The excitement subsided a little, and she was a little frustrated by the bad start. The motorcycle is a major feature to confirm whether Hojo Kyosuke is at home. He may not be at home when the car is there, but he is definitely not at home if the car is not there, because that guy will not lend his motorcycle to others.

Still, let’s go up and have a look...

Just like an athlete who discovers that his shoelaces have come loose just after the starting gun has been fired, thinking that Kyousuke might already be meeting Naoto-kun, the girl feels depressed for a moment and even wants to go home.

He hesitated for a moment, his longing overcoming his depression.

Come on! How could you just give up like that!

After cheering herself up in her heart, she looked up again at the dark gray apartment in front of her and walked over.

701!

Breathe in, breathe in

Her chest kept rising and falling, and the girl tried to calm down her nerves.

"Hello, good morning Kyousuke~~"

No, you're not Sakura, so don't speak English if it's not standard at all.

"Well, here I come, Kyosuke."

Ah, this doesn't work either. It's a rare meeting, and it looks like something.

"Good morning Kyosuke, do you want to have breakfast together?"

Great, that’s it! Mitsuha Miyamizu squeezed the shopping bag she was holding in her hand. That was the bread she would buy every time she switched bodies, but she never wrote it down in her memo, just thinking about eating it with Hojo Kyosuke one day.

Although it was just an ordinary Russian bread made of wheat flour, she found it inexplicably delicious and kept it as a treasure deep in her heart. The last time I gave it to Kyosuke Hojo as a gift for buying an apartment, I imitated it after asking the store clerk for advice. Unfortunately, the kind sister was not in the store today.

Raising her hand, taking a deep breath again, the girl pressed the doorbell, then quickly lowered her head to check her attire again.

She even had a smile on her face in advance, ready to lift the bag in her hand and show it. Because she knew that what Kyousuke with his obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't bear the most was the sound of the doorbell. He would definitely open the door as soon as he heard the sound, if he was at home.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Are you really not here? The luck in my heart was shattered. Mitsuha Miyamizu put down the bag in her hand, jumped up, and touched the door frame.

Huh! ?

Why are the keys gone?

This is a secret that Mitsuha Miyamizu discovered one time when he was doing housekeeping. Hojo Kyosuke, that childish devil, actually put the key on the door frame.

But she didn't want to open the door and go in on her own now. But Rocket 33 was not there, and Kyousuke was not here, which made her feel like she was looking in the wrong place. So she urgently needs proof that this is indeed the home that has countless connections with her.

how come?

Turning on the phone, I tried to log in to the account where Sakura and her friends were friends and ask Naoto-kun if he had started the autograph session, but it showed that the account did not exist.

Then we can only go directly to Minglun Bookstore, which is the bookstore where the book signing will be held today.

Counting out 200 yen from her wallet and buying a ticket, the miko-san sighed after looking at her slimmed-down wallet.

Kyousuke, please let me find you quickly, otherwise I will almost run out of money to travel home.

Fortunately, the morning rush hour has passed, and the boxing-ring-like subway has returned to calm. Only a few late students were chatting on it, two of them wearing the uniforms of Dongcheng Middle School.

Strange, isn't Kyousuke still on vacation? Why has someone started school already? Do people in other grades start school early?

Looking at the familiar black school uniform Mitsuha Miyamizu tilted her head in confusion, and turned her head before the other party noticed her gaze.

Meirun Bookstore is located in Jimbocho, Chiyoda, at opposite ends of a street from Maruzen Bookstore. It may be because there are many publishing houses such as Shogakukan and Iwanami Bookstore gathered here, so there are many well-known bookstores. Of course, they may also go bankrupt. come over.

There is a ginkgo tree in front of the bookstore. In April, the ginkgo tree has not yet grown its leaves, so it is ugly and bare. Compared to places in Tokyo surrounded by cherry blossoms, this place seems a bit deserted.

Yes, it was deserted. It was obviously almost time for the autograph session, but there was no one queuing up at the door.

The popularity of "Metronome of Love" shouldn't be so low. This is Kasumi Shiko's first book signing, so it's not surprising that the entire sidewalk was occupied.

The bizarre sight made Mitsuha Miyamizu's head a little confused. Did he get on the wrong train and come to another Tokyo? When I walked into the bookstore, because it was class time, the store was as deserted as outside, with only a few people reading books.

The point is, she knew there was no plan to hold a book signing here without even asking!

Did you get the wrong location? No, such a simple name is as clear as if you just saw it, how could you get it wrong!

Oh, by the way, Kyosuke might have gone to Yantei for breakfast!

As if grasping the last straw, the girl got on the subway again, this time her destination was the shopping street in front of Kasuga Station.

The wallet has lost some weight again.

"Children"

The black and white signboard that I saw through the rain yesterday has now turned into a drink shop. She must have misremembered the location, thinking so, the girl returned to one end of the shopping street and looked at the houses one by one.

No, still not!

Nameless irritability emerged from the bottom of his heart, making Mitsuha Miyamizu feel hot in his chest, his head was in chaos, and he couldn't concentrate at all. She had been running around since early in the morning, and had long since digested the sandwich she bought at the convenience store outside Tokyo Station. She was seriously exhausted both mentally and physically and walked into the Chilodo water shop.

After ordering a glass of iced Coke and asking the clerk if she could eat the food she brought, she drank the iced Coke and ate the bread, and then slowly began to collect her thoughts.

Kyousuke, who was supposed to be at home, was not at home, the autograph session that was supposed to be held was not held, and the restaurant that was supposed to be at this place turned into a drink shop.

Even if it’s my fault for visiting unexpectedly without an appointment, is it so difficult to just meet him! And Kyousuke is not the kind of neon person who has to make reservations for everything.

Is it God who is preventing the two from meeting? The girl who scratched her head and couldn't figure it out brought the problem to the field she was most familiar with, trying to explain it with the knowledge of Shintoism.

With a heavy sigh, the girl lay down on the table, her hand holding the bread hanging down weakly, without any appetite. The brown cola in the glass kept bubbling, and the ice cubes in the glass collided with each other, sometimes silent and sometimes floating.

The greetings from the store clerks began to increase. It turned out that it was already lunch time, and students from nearby schools poured into the shopping street. Female college students put on fashionable short skirts early in the slightly cold April, and junior high school students and high school students also wore fashionable private school uniforms. They were talking about the new British foreign teacher in the school, or where the store was having a discount today.

Mitsuha Miyamizu felt like she was back when she first took to the streets of Tokyo, but now she no longer felt inferior because of her old-fashioned school uniform.

Let's go back.

Sighing softly in her heart, a helpless smile appeared on the girl's face. Maybe the two of them were destined to meet each other only through the memorandum.

She raised the cup and drank the rest of the Coke in one gulp. Her taste buds were stimulated by the rushing bubbles. She burped wildly, and then bit the ice cubes in her mouth.

no! How could you just go back like this!

There are so many places to look for, if that doesn't work, just wait at the door until he comes home!

…

The sun yawned, as if the anger of the day had been relieved. Although his face turned red because he was happy to be able to get off work, there was not much temperature left.

The golden afterglow softly draped over her body on the Miyamizu Mitsuha platform seat, but it couldn't bring her any warmth. The brown paint on the armrests of the chair has become mottled, and the missing piece looks like Honshu Island. Just like Tokyo, where she had been searching for a whole day but found nothing.

There were blisters on her feet, and there was a biting pain. In order to divert her attention, she turned her head and looked at the poster behind her.

"FUN! TOKYO!"

Nonsense, Tokyo is not interesting at all! People here are assholes who treat the sidewalks and subways like a boxing ring! The girl who was holding back her anger thought fiercely in her heart.

She went to the old Furukawa Garden in the North District and wandered outside for a long time without thinking of any reason to go in. She felt regretful that this place had not really become a scenic spot. She went to Baiyuri Academy in Sakura again, but unfortunately she didn't even know Sakura's class.

With the last hope, she went to Dongcheng, found a boy who looked familiar, and asked Hojo Kyousuke's name, but the other person asked her confusedly who it was.

What the hell is going on in this world, there are still people in Dongcheng who don’t know Hojo Kyosuke! ? In disbelief, she asked several more people, but no one knew.

Something is wrong with the world!

The girl who returned to the apartment and still couldn't find Hojo Kyousuke finally gave up. It wasn't that she didn't work hard, but that the god was causing trouble!

She leaned weakly on the chair, and the soft backrest couldn't make her feel better. She would go to Itomori next time for exchange.

Although the sun has not completely set, there are already some traces of comets in the sky.

I really want to watch the comet with Kyosuke~~

Whispering in her heart, Miyamizu Mitsuha heard the sound of the train moving.

The tram entering the station made an annoying sound of brakes, and there was also a wind that was annoying to ladies. The girl didn't care about her hair that was messed up by the wind, and still sat there, waiting for the tram to stop completely.

Anyway, he was going back to Itomori soon, and Kyousuke couldn't see him again.

However, as the train slowed down and human eyes could finally see the people and objects on it clearly, the girl's eyes suddenly widened. It was unclear whether it was the afterglow of the setting sun or the sudden appearance of hope. A bright light appeared there. In big brown eyes.

That, that is! ?

Mitsuha Miyamizu opened her mouth wide, it was him! a! Hojo Kyosuke!

The silent emotion enveloped her whole body, and the corners of her eyes instantly became moist. Finally, finally saw it! For the first time, I saw Hojo Kyosuke with my own eyes, not through a mirror or a photo!

The girl forgot her movements for a moment, and her eyes just passively followed the movement of the train.

We have to get there quickly!

Mitsuha Miyamizu stood up and was about to run to the carriage where Hojo Kyosuke was, when his toes suddenly hurt again.

Ah, it's really useless. I will let you have a good rest after going home this time, so please get moving now!

Thinking of this, the girl did not conceal her excitement, raised the corners of her mouth high, and walked quickly forward. Fortunately, there was no one on the platform at this time, so she was able to pass quickly.

A second before the door closed, the girl squeezed onto the tram. This stop is not a popular place, so there are not many people on the tram at all. While whispering sorry, the girl tried her best to squeeze towards the man.

It was strange that the carriage was full of people, but in her world there was only Hojo Kyousuke. Even the people blocking the road seemed to have turned into soap bubbles in her eyes, full of dreams.

Did I fall asleep sitting on the platform because I was too tired?

The person she had been looking for all day suddenly appeared in front of her, and the girl couldn't believe it.

Finally, she stood in front of him.

Strange, why is Kyosuke wearing school uniform today? Strange, why does he seem to be shorter today? The girl was surprised to find that Kyosuke was only a little taller than her. Could it be that I have grown taller?

He shook his head and threw away all the questions in his head. Now was not the time to dwell on such unimportant things.

But hasn’t this idiot Kyousuke recognized me yet?

The girl's reserve allowed her to hold back her surprise and not speak immediately, but now she couldn't help but want to raise her head and tell him how difficult her day was.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Hojo Kyosuke looking at him intently.

Ah, this guy is still so annoying. He is worthy of being someone who can look at a puppy for five minutes without blinking.

This is an anecdote shared by Glass during the chat.

But why didn't he speak? Didn't he recognize himself? Oh, yes, he only recovered his memory today. Maybe in his memory, his appearance is still very vague. However, I was still a little angry that I had been looking for him all day, but he was so leisurely.

Although she knew it was the fault of the gods, Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"that……"

"Kyosuke!" They both spoke at the same time, but Hojo Kyosuke, what the hell is that look on your face looking like a stranger!

Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at the incomprehensible expression on the boy in front of her in disbelief. Suddenly, she thought of the beautiful older sister named Miki Okudera she met at the Sakura Festival. At that time, her mood was probably the same as mine.

What did you do at that time? What will Kyosuke do now? Even if the memory is vague, it doesn't mean that you don't remember yourself at all, right? The surprise of the encounter was partly washed away by this sudden change. The girl in front of her might have apologized and said that she had recognized the wrong person, but she had become a miko and decided to help Hojo Kyousuke remember it!

"That's me." She raised her finger and nodded her small nose, but accidentally touched the sweat beads on it.

Ah, shit, could it be that sweat smeared the makeup on his face and made it look ugly, so Kyousuke couldn't recognize him? No, no, no, I’m not wearing makeup at all!

Seeing that the boy in front of her still didn't think of her, she asked:

"Do not you remember?"

"Your name is?"

My name, you idiot, didn't I tell you the first time? Mitsuha Miyamizu, I am, gathering and dispersing in the girl's heart. Although she firmly believed that as long as the two met, they would be able to recognize each other.

Alas, even Kyosuke cannot resist the power of the god.

"I'm sorry..." Let's just treat it as a mistake. Sure enough, we still have to meet each other when Kyousuke is in his body in order to recognize each other.

When the train arrived at the station, Mitsuha Miyamizu turned around and walked out along with the crowd.

"Your name is?"

Hojo Kyosuke's voice came from behind. This guy was still like this. Even if he was like a stranger to him now, he would still want to figure it out when something like this happened.

Feeling funny in her heart, she stopped and prepared to tell him her name seriously. But as soon as she stopped, she was pushed forward by the flow of people behind her. Even though she had undergone a lot of kendo training, she still couldn't stop the force of the flow of people.

"Mitsuha, my name is Mitsuha!" She raised her voice and raised her hand to untie the knot in her hair, wanting to hand it to Kyosuke.

Since the knot represents the god I believe in, let it connect us together.

Seeing Kyosuke Hojo reaching out to catch the knot, Mitsuha Miyamizu, who was struggling to resist the power of the crowd, felt relieved. He took off the strength from his feet and followed the flow of people towards the car door.

Suddenly, his hand tightened, and Mitsuha Miyamizu lowered his head and found that his wrist was held by a wide and slender hand. This is Hojo Kyosuke's hand, and no one is more familiar with it than her. With the help of this hand, she finally stood still, and the people who got off the car behind were also blocked by the other party. The two of them were like isolated islands in the ocean, separated from the sea of ​​​​people, just standing in the car.

"Hey, Sanye, right? Why are you running away before you finish talking?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice. It was the first time she heard Kyosuke's voice with her own ears. She finally understood why Glass always said that Hojo Kyosuke was more suitable to be a voice actor. Even if he doesn't have any training and just reads aloud without emotion, I'm afraid countless people will pay for Kyosuke's voice.

"You squeezed my hand so much that it hurts!"

A bright smile bloomed on the girl's face, and she made a delicate voice that was unfamiliar to her. From this hand, she felt the familiar sense of security. The fatigue and grievances of the day seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Ah, sorry sorry."

As the man said that, the warmth in his hands disappeared. Mitsuha Miyamizu was secretly annoyed. Sure enough, she was not suitable to talk like this. Otherwise, wouldn't the two of them be able to hold hands all the time? The subway in Tokyo is indeed very crowded. If you stand on it, you will feel like you will fall at any time if you are not pulled along.

She was angry with herself in her heart, but the girl said unconsciously:

"Really, he is worthy of being a bad boss, so rude."

No, Mitsuha Miyamizu, what are you doing! Why should we learn to speak like Yinglili! You can't become a tsundere without blond twintails, so wake up!

"Well, Sanye, although you seem to be very familiar with me, I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've met. Also, I'm not a bad person."

"How could it not be, you obviously..."

ah? Just forget it if you can't remember it. Why do you say that? Do you want to say that you are not Hojo Kyosuke? Is there another junior high school student as handsome as you in Tokyo?

The miko lady was about to continue talking to make the other party sober up, but she saw everyone around her staring at her. His face instantly turned red. People in Tokyo, why don't you continue to be indifferent at this time and turn your heads away from us?

The two fell into silence, waiting to get out of the car before continuing their conversation.

It was already time for school to end at Sendagi Station, so the streets were full of students wearing various school uniforms. Mitsuha Miyamizu saw several boys wearing Tojo school uniforms, but strangely, they all passed by Hojo Kyosuke. There was no intention to avoid or say hello at all.

Mitsuha Miyamizu was surprised and couldn't help but look back. What was going on with these people? Hojo Kyosuke is completely like an emperor in school, not only because he is the leader of the Rampage Angels, but also because of his disappointing academic performance and the kendo honors he has achieved.

Even if he is not a violent angel, members of the Kendo Club and others all admire him. Mitsuha Miyamizu used to be annoyed when meeting classmates on the street, because they would greet her super warmly, and they would even rush to treat her to a meal like this.

but now?

“Is a family restaurant okay?”

After hearing the sound, the girl turned around and looked at Hojo Kyosuke and the big steps in front.

【Yanaka Shopping Street】

This is the place where Mitsuha Miyamizu has been to the least after so many body swaps, because the so-called "Shitamachi culture" is popular here. Well, just by the name, you can tell that it is very unfashionable. So only when you don't want to make midnight snacks at night, a greedy girl will come here to buy some snacks.

Croquettes are a favorite!

But now...

Of course, family restaurants are allowed, but my wallet no longer allows it... Looking at Hojo Kyosuke, who looks like a stranger, the girl who can usually eat and drink calmly with his body and wallet can't help but be polite. stand up.

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

Before he finished speaking, his dissatisfied stomach began to loudly condemn the master's lies.

Ah, really, my feet and my belly are so worthless. I promised that I would treat you well when I get home, but why can't I endure this even for a while? You will be trained a hundred times in Dongcheng like this!

"Let's go, let me treat you tonight, or are your feet so painful that you can't walk? Do you want me to carry you down?"

"No, no need, I can do it myself." This guy is still so considerate and gentle.

Under the rays of the setting sun, the girl's delicate little face became more and more rosy. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Hojo Kyousuke. She could only lower her head and carefully study the stairs in front of Yanaka Shopping Street, which were called "Sunset Sections".

The 36-step staircase is facing the sunset in the middle of the night. Walking on it, it feels like it is descending simultaneously with the setting sun. At dusk, the gorgeous afterglow falls just right on the entire staircase, coating it with a layer of brocade.

This is too ceremonial! The food you eat after going down such stairs will definitely be more delicious!

The girl who had never been to Yanaka Shopping Arcade at this time decided to come here more often and try every store if she wanted to trade again.

Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the two people stretched very long behind them.

Entering a family restaurant called "Matsuyama Family Restaurant", looking at the food on the menu, Miyamizu Mitsuha seemed to have returned to the time when she switched bodies for the second time, forgot to buy breakfast, and was so hungry after going to school that she seemed to lose her mind. .

The guy opposite said that he was welcome to order casually, and the girl, who knew that the other person was a rich man, ordered a portion that she would definitely not be able to finish. At best, the two of them can eat together later, she thought.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two finally had a chance to talk.

"What!? You just started school today!? You are in the first grade of junior high school now???" Mitsuha Miyamizu covered her head. What did she hear?

The boy sitting across from him not only didn't have those convenient subordinates, he was even a kid in the first grade of junior high school. Well, as a junior high school student who is already fifteen years old, she can certainly call the other person a brat.

Are you dreaming now, or was everything before a dream? Can anyone really have the same dream two years in a row?

"We would swap bodies in our dreams, and then we agreed to write down everything that happened when we were in each other's bodies, so as not to cause trouble to each other."

Yes, there are also memos! Those memos written by Kyosuke himself.

ah? The characters on the memo were like wild monkeys who broke the window to steal things. The moment she opened the memo, they escaped one by one under Mitsuha Miyamizu's eyes. When she quickly raised her phone, she saw In front of Hojo Kyosuke's eyes was a blank space without a single word.

Oh my god, Lord God, you really have no sense of the rule of law at all.

"Swapping bodies has already happened, so it's not a big deal if your phone breaks down, right? Besides, don't you still remember? You can tell me directly."

The words coming from the other side cheered her up a little. Yes, the memories that belonged to them and the connection between the two were real!

"..." After opening his mouth, Miyamizu Mitsuha found that after the memo disappeared, the memory also returned to the bottle like the ink splashed on the paper, and his head was as empty as the paper that had returned to blank. .

A sudden hole appeared in her heart, an endless sense of emptiness surrounded the girl, and the restaurant that was originally filled with the aroma of food suddenly became extremely cold.

Tears flowed down silently, but I felt nothing except wetting my face and feeling increasingly sad.

Suddenly, she was tapped on the shoulder, and she turned her head in confusion: "Kyosuke..."

The hair without knots was scattered around her face, and her tears were soaked in strands. She looked very sad. But combined with those brown eyes and pitiful voice, it was like a kitten that had found its owner again through the rain curtain.

After shouting so softly, the girl threw herself into the arms of Hojo Kyosuke who came to her seat. The cold world regained warmth instantly. Although the time difference was two years, Kyousuke's embrace was indeed as warm as imagined.

As she threw herself on her thick chest, the girl's cries became louder.

"Isn't there that grandma paradox... If I know what's going to happen in the future now, then our future will also change accordingly. Maybe it's just so that we can continue to get along as well as you remember, that's why it happened Things now.”

Listening to Hojo Kyosuke's words, Mitsuha Miyamizu gradually calmed down.

"You must keep a good diary, carefully write down everything that happens, and show it to me later!"

Station, Mitsuha Miyamizu said seriously.

After the conversation, she was carried by Hojo Kyosuke to Tokyo Station. The Shinkansen heading towards Nagoya was about to enter the station.

"Well, I understand."

"By the way, remember to watch the comet on Thursday night too! I will pray for you at the temple fair!"

"OK!"

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Miyamizu Mitsuha finally walked into the car with a smile.

One hand held tightly the cell phone that already had Kyousuke's number on it, and the other hand held the checked ticket in front of his eyes. Kyousuke, even though he was almost running into a financial deficit, he still bought his own ticket.

"Just keep your pocket money to buy some snacks when you transfer."

Why are you pretending to be handsome? It is obvious that if he doesn't find a part-time job now, he will soon be unable to pay the rent. The memory in her head became clear again after she was far away from Kyosuke, which made the girl believe even more that he did this in order not to disturb the future.

But do we really have to wait more than two years to reunite with Kyousuke? The girl thought distressedly.

"Three leaves."

In the living room of the Miyamizu family, Toshiki Miyamizu, who had rushed home early and had been sitting here waiting for his daughter to come home, saw his daughter coming back with two large bags of snacks with a happy face, and shouted in a loud voice.

"Ah, good evening, father and grandma." Sitting on the corridor and taking off her shoes, Miyamizu Mitsuha gently tiptoed into the living room. Now she even wants to go to the Kagura Hall to dance for a while. Tell your happiness.

"Wow, potato chips!"

Miyamizu Yotsuba didn't expect to receive so many snacks from her sister in her lifetime. She was so surprised that she even forgot to ask about the date.

Toshiki Miyamizu wanted to ask again, but he looked at his mother next to him with wide eyes and closed his mouth unwillingly.

After returning to the room, Miyamizu Mitsuha couldn't wait to turn on her cell phone and call Hojo Kyousuke without even bothering to take a shower. This was what the other party had told her before, asking her to report that she was safe when she got home.

"The number you called is not in service area."

Lord God, if you do this, you will lose your loyal miko!

Frustrated, she put down her phone. After charging it, the miko lady walked listlessly to the bathroom with her home clothes. Now only taking a bath could comfort her a little.

In the next few days, although I wanted to go to Tokyo several times, I couldn't get away because of the temple fair. As a goddess and witch, the sustenance of the town's faith, she absolutely cannot leave at this time. So I could only endure my longing and have been directing the townspeople in the shrine to arrange the scene of the temple fair.

Mitsuba Miyamizu was sitting on her knees in the living room. Grandma used a hairpin to pick up a small strand of hair, and after combing it carefully with a peach wood comb, she began to braid it.

The girl is wearing a high-end kimono made of pure silk fabric. The whole blue kimono has a green four-leaf clover pattern printed on it. The kimono worn by Yotsuba, whose father is braiding her hair next to her, also has the same pattern, but the background color has changed to brick red.

After finishing the exquisite hairstyle, looking at his two daughters, one older and one younger, Miyamizu Toshiki couldn't help but miss his wife. These kimonos were all sewn by her hands in the last days of her life. Even the omnipotent Futaba spent a lot of time making such exquisite kimonos.

But miraculously, looking at the smiles on the faces of his two daughters, his resentment towards Itomori surprisingly calmed down a little.

The outside of the shrine has begun to become lively, the lights of Itomori Town gradually go out, and the crowd begins to gather towards the temple fair located on the top of the mountain. On days like this, as the mayor, he needs to be on call at the town hall at any time to prevent special situations from happening.

Looking at his two daughters taking pictures of each other, he walked over and wanted to take this opportunity to take a group photo. But as soon as I walked over, I heard my eldest daughter say:

"Kyosuke should be watching comets today, right?"

Wearing a kimono, the daughter, who was tall and graceful, stood by the window, looking at the comet in the sky, murmuring to herself, and the smile on her face showed an emotion that he could easily understand.

That damn boy!

The smile on his face was exaggerated, but he still walked over and respectfully asked his mother for permission. The four of them stood at the door of the living room and took a long-lost family photo.

"Okay, I have to go to the town office quickly. Yotsuba must be obedient and don't worry about getting lost!" As if Itomori had no idea that Itomori could visit every corner of the town in an hour and a half. Toshiki Miyamizu warned seriously.

"Okay, Dad."

Yotsuba nodded vigorously. Today, I must let Atsuko and the others know that I will also become a beautiful woman in the future. By the way, there’s Yukino too, I’m going to find her later and play fishing for goldfish with her! Work hard to win more and take them to her yard to raise them!

"Sanye... have fun."

Glancing at his eldest daughter who was still staring at the phone with a complicated expression, Toshiki Miyamizu said warmly.

"Well, don't worry, dad." Mitsuha Miyamizu looked away from the orange exclamation point on the phone and responded to her father with a smile.

…

Standing on the grassy hilltop, she saw a sight she would never forget in her life.

Lake Itomori is on fire, and the town Itomori she dreamed of escaping from is completely dead.

Here is a brief explanation of the timeline. In the original work, when the male protagonist of the Mitsuha gang dated Miki Okudera, the male protagonist was on vacation, while Mitsuha was in school. In other words, the timelines on both sides are not strict. The first Monday of Sanye's first semester may be the time when the protagonist is about to have a holiday.

I have actually hinted at this before. At the kendo competition, where the protagonist was talking to Mitsuha and her father, Toshiki Miyamizu thought for a moment that there had been no kendo competition recently.

This is not a patch I made, but something I thought about from the beginning. If you can't accept it, you can think of it as my second design, because the timeline will still be different later.

Also explain why Sakura and Glass didn't tell the protagonist Itomori the truth yesterday. You know that the protagonist is anxious, but Sakura doesn't know that in the eyes of Sakura and the others, the protagonist and Mitsuha are still as good as before. Do you want them to break this peace?

But I added this explanation at the front

"That's weird. In fact, the three of them felt that this was too cruel to Kyousuke and Mitsuha who had swapped bodies. Mitsuha believed that he was a real person, and so did Kyousuke. Even the guy who made the cup did it One for her.

Do you want to tell Kyosuke now, "Kyosuke, the Mitsuha Miyamizu who swapped bodies with you doesn't exist in this world at all?". Or tell Mitsuha Miyamizu who has been inviting them to visit her hometown, "Mitsuha, your home has been destroyed by a comet a long time ago, and you are just a ghost floating in the cracks of time."

This...no one can say it. "
