Yexing shook his head and replied with a smile.

"It's precisely because I'm too genuine, always speaking my mind directly, never hiding anything, that no one needs to guess my true thoughts. I never conceal my true feelings either. It's because of this that my Soul Avatar doesn't need the ability to speak. I say everything, I handle all the abstract matters, so why would I need the Soul Avatar to take over?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu nodded noncommittally, pursed her lips, and finally couldn't resist looking at Yexing's profile, cautiously asking the sensitive question that the Overlimit Club members hadn't dared to ask for some time.

"After you lost the power of Soul Manifestation... do you feel like a part of yourself... has also disappeared with it?"

"To ask this question, Mitsuha, you still don't understand at all."

Yexing didn't show the slightest hint of sadness, still maintaining his usual relaxed smile.

"Soul Manifestation is the true inner self of humanity, the enlightenment, the determination, born from the Sea of Souls, a power that can change reality. This is cause and effect. Because I am the way I am, I can possess such power. I created this power, not the other way around."

"Even if I've lost the ability of Soul Manifestation, it doesn't mean that I will change because of it. The identity of 'Mask,' the power of Soul Manifestation, to me, it's best to have it, but not a pity to lose it. After all, what I gained in exchange for giving these up was saving the world, and more importantly..."

Speaking of this, Yexing paused, took Mitsuha Miyamizu's hand, looked directly at her with smiling eyes, and said softly.

"Protecting those who are most important to me in this world... you."

This sudden direct attack made Mitsuha Miyamizu blush instantly. She lowered her head, turned the hand held by Yexing over, gently interlaced her fingers with his, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"You... you always say these heart-fluttering things at times like this... You're so skilled at it, how many times have you said it to Mai-senpai and the others...?"

"You've really misunderstood this."

Yexing shook his head solemnly and said slowly.

"This is a skill I was born with as the God of Harem. From the moment I was born, the proficiency was maxed out. It has nothing to do with how many times I've said it."

"You... you're quite proud..."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

...

When the train arrived at the station, Yexing and Mitsuha Miyamizu got off together and saw Ichiyo Miyamizu, Yotsuba Miyamizu, and Mitsuha and Yotsuba's parents waiting there early.

"Sister."

Mitsuha Miyamizu ran over, first giving Yotsuba a big hug, then looked at Yexing standing next to Mitsuha, shrugged her shoulders, and sighed helplessly.

"Yexing-nii, during these few months that you've whisked my older sister away, she's really been so happy she's forgotten home. Even when summer vacation came, she didn't come back right away. Even when she did come back, she insisted on coming back with you. Alas, I really don't know if it's the charm of the big city, or the charm of a handsome guy, or the charm of a handsome guy in the big city. Alas, forgetting your sister for a pretty face, forgetting your sister for a pretty face."

"Yotsuba, what nonsense are you talking about! ?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu reached out her hand, wanting to flick her younger sister Yotsuba's forehead, but the other party dodged it directly.

"Mitsuha."

"Grandmother."

Ichiyo Miyamizu walked up to Mitsuha, looked at her, and a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, very good. After spending a semester in Kyoto, I feel like you've become more energetic. Unlike when you were in Itomori Town, you always seemed absent-minded and distracted. Perhaps... your body and mind shouldn't have been trapped in this remote place your whole life."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that sentence."

Mitsuha Miyamizu's father walked up, not like his former serious self. At this time, he had a smile on his face.

"As a town councilor, one day, I will make Itomori Town a big city that is in no way inferior to Kyoto."

After saying this, Mitsuha Miyamizu's father looked at Mitsuha and said with a smile.

"Mitsuha, several new cafes have opened in our town. Of course, the taste of the food inside is definitely not as good as in the big city, but if you're interested, you can take Yexing to try them. You two have been working hard in school. During this time, relax and rest well in the town."

Chapter 559 Miyamiizu Futaba's deep thoughts, Cafes in Itomori Town

"Toshiki, you're exaggerating a bit too much."

Yexing put his arm around Toshiki Miyamizu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"If you say you want to develop Itomori Town better, that's still a bit possible, but if you say you want Itomori Town to surpass Kyoto? You're telling a fantasy story."

"What Toshiki, you brat, no respect for your elders."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Toshiki Miyamizu finished saying this, the back of his head was slapped by Mitsuha's grandmother. The old lady frowned and looked at him unhappily, scolding.

"You are an adopted son-in-law of our Miyamizu family. Lord Yexing is the deity served by our Miyamizu Shrine for generations, a powerful person being served. You call him a brat? Then what do you call me? Do you also want to call me Little Ichiyo?"

"Uh... Mother, don't say that..."

When Mitsuha and Yotsuba were still young, Toshiki Miyamizu, as an adopted son-in-law, had a fight with Ichiyo Miyamizu, who was his mother-in-law, when he left the Miyamizu Shrine. However strong his attitude was at that time, he is now just as cowardly, after all, his wife Futaba Miyamizu is standing there watching with a smile.

"Yes... I misspoke, I'm... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Yexing looked very generous, patted Toshiki Miyamizu's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Little Toshiki is a young man after all, it's understandable that he misspoke for a moment."

Toshiki Miyamizu looked unconvinced, but he couldn't refute it at all.

To be fair, Ichiyo Miyamizu's calculation method is really not a problem.

The relationship between the Matchmaking Deity and Yexing… is difficult to describe. To put it properly, it's like a contract between a human and a god, or at least equals.

Let alone Mitsuha and Yotsuha of the Miyamizu family, even Toshiki and Futaba Miyamizu, and Ichiyo Miyamizu, who is already an old woman, even if you pulled out Ichiyo's grandmother's grandmother, they would still be undeniably juniors in front of Yexing, who is on par with the Matchmaking Deity.

Although the scene looks a bit funny, logically, there is really no problem.

So now, the thing Toshiki Miyamizu hopes for most is that Yexing and his daughter Mitsuha will get married as soon as possible after graduation, so that he can get along with him as a father-in-law and son-in-law, instead of being so humble as he is now.

“Mitsuha, during this period, take Lord Yexing around the town and have a good look. Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to tell you.”

Futaba Miyamizu, who hadn't spoken all this time, spoke in a gentle tone with a smile.

“Toshiki and I are going to take your grandmother and your sister on a trip for a while. After all, we've been busy for so long, it's time to relax. We'll probably be back in about half a month.”

“Ah? You're going on a trip?”

Mitsuha Miyamizu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

“Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

“It's not too late to say it now.”

“When are you leaving?”

“We're leaving this afternoon.”

Futaba Miyamizu's voice was always so gentle, smiling at Mitsuha.

“Anyway, while we're away, I'll have to ask you and Yexing to take care of the house. Oh, right, I've changed all the bedding to new ones, and…”

Futaba Miyamizu leaned close to Mitsuha's ear and whispered.

“In the bottom drawer of the closet in your room, I've bought everything. Remember to take safety measures. If you want a baby, wait until after high school graduation. Don't make me a grandmother so soon.”

Half an hour later, after putting the luggage they brought with them into the Miyamizu family's house in Itomori Town, Yexing and Mitsuha Miyamizu walked alone on the streets of Itomori Town.

“Um… Your mother… is really… a heroine among women.”

Yexing said with a meaningful look, sighing.

“No wonder, after all, she is the legendary shrine maiden who sealed the disaster in the 'Gate of the Underworld' at the cost of her own life. Truly extraordinary.”

“You… you're still talking about it, aren't you?”

Mitsuha Miyamizu blushed and patted Yexing, lowering her head.

“That… well… since they're all gone… then tonight… we don't have to stay at a hotel…”

“So I said, your mother is really thoughtful.”

“Go, go, go, just enjoy yourself.”

While casually chatting, Mitsuha Miyamizu led Yexing to the entrance of a newly opened cafe in Itomori Town.

“So there really is a new cafe… It looks no worse than those in Kyoto.”

Mitsuha Miyamizu stepped into the cafe, looked up at the drink and pastry menu above, and smiled at the clerk behind the counter.

“I want a cup of original milk tea, then a three-color ice cream ball, and a five-color daifuku.”

“Okay, sir, what would you like?”

“Iced Coca-Cola.”

“Okay, please find a seat.”

Yexing and Mitsuha Miyamizu found a seat at random. Although there were not many customers in the cafe, the business was not deserted. After all, it was not a tourist season, but there were still many people who looked like tourists sitting inside, and some were local residents of Itomori Town.

“I didn't expect… there's a decent cafe now…”

Mitsuha Miyamizu rested her chin on her hand, looking out the window of the cafe.

It must be said that the location of this cafe is very well chosen, located in a relatively high position. Looking out from this angle, you can almost see the entire scenery of Itomori Town.

A smile appeared on Mitsuha Miyamizu's face, and she muttered.

“Fortunately, we saved this place… otherwise… we wouldn't be able to see such a view.”

“What do you mean 'we'.”

Yexing picked up the glass of Coke and said nonchalantly.

“That was me and the Matchmaking Deity working hard. Your role was just to be shocked, shocked, and shocked again. Don't flatter yourself.”

“Hey, hey, hey, I also made a contribution, okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I wouldn't be able to find Itomori Town without you leading the way. You're just a quest-guiding NPC.”

“Tch… you guy, you're really going wild after I let you have your way…”

Mitsuha Miyamizu replied unhappily, and was about to say something when she saw Yexing's face suddenly turn extremely ugly. Her heart sank, and she quickly asked.

“What's wrong? Did something happen?”

“Something did happen… something big happened…”

Looking at Yexing's serious look, Mitsuha Miyamizu's heart became even heavier. In that instant, countless possibilities flashed through her mind, such as an evil god intending to launch a world-destroying attack, terrorists plotting to blow up Itomori Town, and even things like aliens invading and a zombie crisis breaking out.

But Yexing's next sentence completely exceeded her expectations.

“Damn it, this isn't Coca-Cola, this is Pepsiclean Toilet Cleaner!!!”

Mitsuha Miyamizu was slightly stunned when she heard this, then breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Yexing's heavy face, and complained speechlessly.

“That's it? I thought something big happened…”

“Isn't this a big deal!?”

Yexing's pupils dilated, and his voice trembled.

“I didn't expect… I really didn't expect that my lifelong reputation would actually… actually stumble, and at this time, be deceived by a black toilet cleaner disguised as Coca-Cola… Humiliation, it's really humiliation!!!”

“No…”

Mitsuha Miyamizu shook her head with a dumbfounded smile, and asked curiously.

“Aren't your five senses far superior to ordinary people? Logically speaking, if the difference between these two Cokes is really that big, shouldn't you have been able to feel it before drinking it?”

“That's why it's called stumbling, my attention was focused on other things.”

“What things?”

“You.”

Hearing Yexing say this simple “you,” Mitsuha Miyamizu's maiden's heart was instantly struck again. She raised her hand and rubbed her hair, shyly saying.

“You… you're really glib…”

“This is not glib.”

Yexing shook his head solemnly, took Mitsuha Miyamizu's hand on the table, and smiled.

“My attention has always been on you, and I can't take it away completely.”
