It was indeed the so-called Sunshine Girl.

The legends of the Sunshine Girl were actually true.

That explains the abnormal weather in Sakura Prefecture recently.

Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at Amano Hina and Yozora sitting in front of her, her expression somewhat complicated.

To rebel against the deity controlling the weather of the entire Sakura Prefecture for the sake of one person's life?

This was truly outrageous.

But for some reason, although Miyamizu Mitsuha hadn't known Yozora for long, she felt that things that seemed absurd on others seemed very reasonable when he did them.

For normal people, they could only choose between Amano Hina and the weather.

Yozora was different.

He chose to directly kill the deity who presented this dilemma.

Could it be that he really was a genius?

"Now that we have the object of connection, what remains is..."

Miyamizu Hitoha said, pondering.

"Someone with strong spiritual power who can perceive traces of the gods, and someone who is spiritually attuned to the object of connection itself, capable of opening a 'path' to the realm of the gods."

"For example."

Miyamizu Hitoha explained, afraid that her words were too complicated.

"For example, our Miyamizu family's kuchikamizake is an object of connection, and the person who is connected to the kuchikamizake and spiritually attuned to it is the contemporary miko who makes the kuchikamizake."

Hearing this, Amano Hina couldn't help but ponder inwardly.

Someone who is connected to me and spiritually attuned...

The moment this thought arose, she subconsciously glanced at Yozora beside her, but immediately realized something was wrong.

No matter what...

Their relationship hadn't reached that level yet...

She was just being wishful and sentimental.

"Are these three points enough?"

Faced with Yozora's question, Miyamizu Hitoha nodded and added.

"Gather these three elements, plus a place with some spiritual power, such as an ancient shrine, and it should be possible. Of course, I can't guarantee it, because I've never seen anyone try to directly enter a domain without the permission of a god. The strange tales in those ancient books probably can't be used as reference either."

"I see."

Yozora nodded, pondering inwardly.

Three elements.

Sacrifice: Amano Hina.

A capable person with strong spiritual power who can perceive traces of divine power: Yotsuya Miko.

The only thing lacking is someone closely connected to the object of connection, which is Amano Hina herself.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. After all, the deity has already given a revelation, saying that we should help you."

Just then, the phone in Yozora's pocket suddenly rang.

He nodded to the Miyamizu family, walked aside, took out his phone, and saw that the call was from Sakurajima Mai.

"Hello, what's wrong?"

Sakurajima Mai's voice didn't sound anxious, but rather had a slightly helpless tone.

"When are you coming back to Kyoto?"

"Hmm..."

Yozora glanced at Amano Hina, who was talking with the Miyamizu family, and replied casually.

"I should be returning today. What's wrong? Is there danger in Kyoto?"

"Danger... I wouldn't say that."

Sakurajima Mai's tone was somewhat complicated. After sighing softly, she said in an annoyed tone.

"In short, the one who tied the bell must untie it. You caused the problem, so you hurry back and solve it."

"Huh?"

Yozora was dumbfounded by this.

"Could it be that Hina is pregnant? No, she or Yukino should be calling me then. What do you mean by calling me? Are you pregnant?"

"Wh-what are you saying!"

Sakurajima Mai on the other end of the phone was both embarrassed and angry.

"It has nothing to do with pregnancy! Anyway, just come back as soon as possible!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Yozora shook his head and chuckled to himself.

"What is she saying? Such a riddle."

At the same time, Amano Hina saw that Yozora had gone aside to make a phone call, her face showing hesitation. In the end, she still looked at Miyamizu Hitoha and asked carefully.

"Grandmother, can I ask you a question?"

Miyamizu Hitoha showed a kind smile.

"Go ahead."

Amano Hina took a deep breath and asked the question she was most curious about, yet most unwilling to face, the one that had been hidden in her heart.

"If... if the deity who controls the weather is really killed, will my ability as a Sunshine Girl..."

"Will disappear."

Miyamizu Hitoha answered directly without the slightest hesitation.

"The ability of the Sunshine Girl is not actually to make the weather sunny, but to pray to the deity, exchanging her own gradual disappearance as the price for the other party to make the weather briefly clear up."

"That is to say, the Sunshine Girl's ability itself is only to communicate with the deity, not to control the weather."

"If, I mean if, that Weather God is really killed or disappears, losing the object of prayer, the Sunshine Girl will naturally no longer have the ability to control the weather."

"Probably, she will return to being an ordinary person."

Amano Hina had probably already guessed this answer.

Looking at her expression, Miyamizu Mitsuha seemed to have guessed something, but wasn't quite sure.

Amano Hina seems to be... somewhat hesitant?

Moreover, the point of Amano Hina's hesitation isn't the connection between the human sacrifice and the weather, nor is it whether the weather in Sakura Prefecture will be out of control after the Weather God dies.

But whether her own ability will disappear?

This is too abnormal.

Miyamizu Mitsuha noticed something.

Amano Hina didn't ask when Yozora was present, but waited until he left before asking the question in her heart.

Why is that?

Are high school students in big cities all like this?

...

After a brief conversation and recording all the information, Yozora and Amano Hina said goodbye to the Miyamizu family and embarked on their journey back to Kyoto.

The information had been obtained, so there was no need to stay any longer.

Anyway, this wouldn't be his last time coming to Itomori Town.

The next time he comes...

He will strike the meteorite.

...

The next evening, at Sakurajima Mai's house.

"You're finally back."

After opening the door, Sakurajima Mai, wearing a loose-fitting long dress, looked at Yozora standing outside with a helpless expression and waved her hand.

"Come in quickly. It's all the trouble you caused."

When Yozora walked in, he realized that a blonde girl was sitting on the sofa in Sakurajima Mai's house.

At first, he thought it was her half-sister, Toyohama Nodoka, who had also suffered from adolescence syndrome.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't.

It was an acquaintance.

Hayasaka Ai.

Seeing Yozora enter, Hayasaka Ai took the initiative to stand up from the sofa, walked up to him, and carefully sized him up, murmuring.

"As expected, you really are the president of that Supernatural Club."

Then, Hayasaka Ai cut straight to the chase without any preamble.

"I inquired through connections, and it is said that the most capable person in Kyoto to solve abnormal events is the exorcist Oda Notou-sensei, and after finding him, he recommended you to me."

"Abnormal events?"

Yozora sat down on the sofa and smiled nonchalantly.

"What, is the Shinomiyas' mansion haunted?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded very seriously.

"As expected of you, you guessed it right away."

Yozora looked unsurprised and said bluntly.

"The atmosphere in the place where Shinomiya Kaguya lives is so oppressive that it's about to explode. It would be strange if it weren't haunted."

"I won't comment on that."

Hayasaka Ai was very aware of her role as a maid and didn't respond to Yozora's words, simply saying.

"I'll keep it simple."

"Kaguya-sama has contracted a strange illness."

"She's fine during the day, but every time she falls asleep at night, she seems to suddenly become a different person, getting out of bed and sitting at her desk, reading all night long without even blinking her eyes."

Speaking of this, Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment, then continued.

"I tentatively inquired, and Kaguya-sama seems to be completely unaware that she gets up at night, and she recently had her annual physical examination, and her physical condition is healthy, without any illness."

"According to my observation, she sleeps for less than five minutes each day, but she doesn't show any signs of fatigue or listlessness during the day. It's as if the her at night and the her during the day only look the same, but are actually completely different people."

"That would already be considered an abnormal phenomenon, right?"

Sakurajima Mai and Yozora exchanged a glance, both with the same thought in their minds.

This doesn't sound like a haunting...

This kind of sudden change...

Adolescence syndrome?

Yozora asked Hayasaka Ai thoughtfully.

"When did this start?"
