Tokyo Soft Rice King.

That was Kushinada-hime's husband, Susanoo.

In fact, part of the reason why Kuroba Akira thought Ame no Hikaru would give him a comb was because in the mythology, Susanoo transformed Kushinada-hime into a comb and put it in his hair to protect her. He then dressed as a woman to offer sake to Yamata-no-Orochi and cut off its eight heads while it was drunk.

So for Princess Kushinada, the comb represents herself. Giving the comb away so that her beloved could carry it with him is just like a scene from a myth.

Although myths are fabricated by humans, they are still part of her 'divine creation,' so giving a comb to her sweetheart is logical and not out of character.

The reason she considers Kuroba Akira her love interest is definitely due to the influence of her younger sister.

In other words, the younger sister's real longing for her older brother and Princess Kushinada's virtual longing for her husband are mixed together!

Since that's the case, let's go back to the point. Since Kuroba Akira doesn't want his sister to regain her memories, wouldn't it be better if he just didn't acknowledge himself as her brother and instead played the role of her husband?

Anyway, she had no idea what her husband was like... Myths are just fictions, and the gods in this world only inherited their names; their actual experiences were far different from those in myths.

For example, Kuroo, who was Izanami, did not actually give birth to that many gods. Kuroba Akira was the first man in her divine life... Although she did not use her own real body, at least that was the experience.

Those were all virgin goddesses, so it's even more impossible that they would have been burned to death by their own children and fallen into the realm of the dead. They couldn't have been like the Virgin Mary, giving birth to virgin children, could they? Although myths themselves are quite bizarre.

In fact, Kuroo was originally a land deity born from the so-called Yomotsu Hirasaka-related beliefs. Therefore, all the beliefs related to the Lord of Yomotsu were gathered on her, including the name Izanami. The two are not related by which one was born from the other. Rather, one was born naturally based on the original belief, while the other was a myth created by humans. In the end, the two were merged together.

The real Kushinada-hime must have been the same. In the past, she was probably a naturally born deity, but because of certain characteristics, she was mistaken for Kushinada-hime. However, as a weak deity, after her divine nature decayed, she had no choice but to unite with humans and continue the faith.

Now, she can't even remember her own real experiences; all that's left are the stories people made up...

From this perspective, such deities seem to be the most tragic, because their past has been replaced by myths and legends.

And so, the existence of only the story overshadows human memory...

In summary, it feels like they're perpetuating human mythology through people, except the method used isn't rote memorization, but rather 'brainwashing'.

Humans are truly despicable; indeed, humans are the root of all evil.

To be honest, Akira Kuroba felt that gods who needed to sacrifice generation after generation of girls to prolong their lives were like cultural dregs and not worth passing down. It would be better to let his sister regain her memories and personal freedom.

However, the Amami family's rise to prominence in Sapporo was inextricably linked to deities and faith. As beneficiaries, they certainly wouldn't want to lose the support of the gods.

Moreover, Kuroba Akira himself was also involved... Otherwise, he really wanted to do what Kobayashi's grandfather did, who deposed the emperor, and simply destroy the foundation of the entire Tenba family.

Screw your damn big family!

Unfortunately, Kuroba Akira himself is still in danger... Even though Hikari didn't do anything too dangerous for a younger sister, the memories in the comb alone don't prove anything, and Kuroba Akira is willing to let her regain her memories.

However, Hikari Ama has already shown a biased and excessive attitude towards her brother, so Akira Kuroba can only stand on the opposite side of his sister.

Moreover, the fact that Ame no Hikaru's memories are now confused could be an opportunity.

A confused memory means that there will be gaps in the memory that can be exploited.

It's possible to manipulate Tianyu Guang's memories.

If my sister wants to surpass the gods... then I, as her brother, must deceive the gods!

This is a colossal lie!

Okay, enough with the chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), let's start this conversational therapy step by step.

"Kushina Dahimi, you are Kushina Dahimi."

Kushinada Hime is the name of Kushinada Hime. The sudden change in her name was to separate her from her human identity. She is not a human named Amayu Hikaru, but a god named Kushinada Hime.

"Kushina-dahime...? What a strange name..."

Even the person in question doesn't seem to approve, but it doesn't matter; it's just a matter of distancing oneself from the group.

"Not surprising at all! And then... I'm your husband."

"Pfft...cough! Cough cough cough!"

Qingxia spat it out and coughed incessantly because she choked on her saliva, all the while mentally ranting and raving.

Kuroba-kun! What are you saying?! Kuroba-kun!

Your sister is mentally unstable. Has even you, her brother, become mentally unstable?

If Xiaotong heard this, even she would turn evil, you know that?

"Husband...isn't he...brother? But I feel like husband is...maybe even better..."

Amane Hikaru seemed quite pleased with the new title, and her spirits had become more stable.

Great, that successfully separates Kuroba Akira and Ameha Hikaru from the siblings.

Now that I am no longer Kuroba Akira and you are no longer Ame no Hikaru, we need to find new identities and new relationships for each other.

Kuroba Akira chose her husband. After all, as we just analyzed, there was a meaning behind Kushinada-hime giving her husband a comb. Since their identities were already established, there was no need to create a new one.

Furthermore, the marital relationship can make Tianyu Guang more likely to listen to him.

After the new character design is completed, Akira Kuroba will transform into a hypnotist.

"Then, as your husband, you must believe every word I say."

"Um...I'll...do whatever you say..."

"Very good, close your eyes and listen to me quietly."

"Um……"

"I want to tell you that... your brother is no longer with us."

"Brother...is he gone?"

"That's right, he's gone, he can't be found anywhere."

"But...he's right here...I can hear my brother's voice..."

“You’re just using me as a substitute for your brother. I’ve already told you who I am.”

"You are my husband..."

“Yes, you’ve finally realized that I am your husband, and your brother is long gone.”

"Yes... my brother is gone... you're not my brother..."

Yes! I! Killed! Myself!

Kuroba Akira just like that, verbally.

In fact, this is a suggestion method commonly used by psychotherapists in the past. Although nowadays, when people mention the treatment of mental illness, they think of prescribing various psychiatric drugs, as if taking medicine can cure mental illness, in the past, psychotherapy rooms used more 'talk therapy'.

In other words, hypnosis is used to help patients forget painful memories, and to help them manage their emotions and overcome psychological barriers.

However, human memory is as stubborn as a stain on a ceiling; the more you try to forget something, the more you can't forget it. This is why humiliating memories can last a lifetime.

It's impossible to erase her memories directly, unless you hit her on the head with a brick to physically forget them.

So what needs to be done is to change cognition through suggestion, thereby 'tampering with memory'.

Humans are actually born with this ability to beautify past memories in their minds and distort memories that are unfavorable to them, thereby escaping reality and healing emotional wounds.

With human intervention, it becomes possible to specify what memory is being altered.

Kuroba Akira didn't personally tell Amehiro Hikaru, "I'm not your brother" or "Your brother doesn't exist." Instead, he said, "Your brother is dead. You're just using me as a substitute for him."

Then, through Amayu Hikaru's own words, he admitted, "You are not my brother," thus completing the alteration of his memories.

However, Akira Kuroba felt that apart from the obvious lie that she said "I am your husband," it was also reasonable for her to say that her brother was dead.

After all, the original Kuroba Akira's memories are gone, and the current Shiroba Akira can't be found either.

In Bai Yuming's view, "I think, therefore I am" means that the memories formed by thinking are the premise of personality. Only memories can prove your existence. Losing memories is no different from losing yourself, which is equivalent to "spiritual death".

Furthermore, precisely because he has no memories of being an older brother, Kuroba Akira doesn't know which actions might trigger Amehiro Hikaru's memories.

It was like encountering a minefield; any step could trigger a mine, and stepping on one would set off a chain reaction, detonating other mines and leaving Kuroba Akira with no way to avoid it.

Since there's no way to avoid it... then let's not try to avoid it at all!

Cover it with an even thicker layer of soil so that the memory mines can't be detonated!

"I know... I know perfectly well... My brother was eaten by the giant snake..."

Hikaru Amayu herself continued the lie woven by Akira Kuroba, and Akira Kuroba seized an opportunity to continue telling the story.

"Yes, you know it all along, but you're still stuck in the sadness of the past, which is why you're unwilling to face reality... I want to comfort you, to share some of the emotions that are suffocating you, and let's create some new and beautiful memories to heal the sadness in your heart."

"New...wonderful memories..."

Since doing anything will trigger her past memories, then there's no point in trying to avoid it; just tell her not to think about it.

Just like dealing with a child who has difficulty concentrating, the way is not to scold and lecture them, or to forbid them from doing those ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) actions, but to find them something new that can divert their attention.

Use new memories to overwrite old ones!

Tell her to stop dwelling on past memories and instead create entirely new ones using the present!

"That's right, we can go on dates, go to places you've never been before, and create wonderful memories."

It'll also be a good opportunity to fill in the one-day promise that Kuroo made to Hikaru.

And before she goes back to her hometown, at least let her have some time to explore Tokyo, so that her trip won't be a complete waste.

The main reason was that Kuroba Akira realized that he had been in the world for so long and had never properly explored Tokyo or made a pilgrimage to those so-called holy sites. This time, he could take advantage of his date with Hikari to do some serious sightseeing.

Kuroba Akira had gone on dates before, but she couldn't really go shopping with them properly. Their real intentions weren't what they wanted; what attracted them most was sleeping in a love hotel, which took up more than half a day of their schedule. Even the class president couldn't resist the temptation.

But you don't have to worry about this step when you're on a date with Hikaru.

"So go to sleep now, get some rest, and when you wake up, the sadness will fade away... Goodnight, my little princess."

"Mmm... Goodnight... Kuroba-kun..."

In the very end, Hikaru Ama didn't call him "brother" anymore, but instead, like Haruka, called him "Kuroba-kun".

It seems that the older brother's mark has been successfully erased.

Hikaru Tenyu fell asleep peacefully in her brother's arms, a sweet smile on her face, as if she were looking forward to a wonderful date and a happy future.

Kuroba Akira clenched his fist in his heart and shouted, "Mission accomplished!"

Just coax her to sleep without asking her opinion, then arrange a place for her to stay and send her there. That way, the ban on overnight stays can be enforced.

Then, after contacting the head of the Tenyu family and obtaining formal permission to meet, he fulfilled his promise to Hikaru and went sightseeing in Tokyo. The crisis caused by his sister's sudden attack was thus successfully resolved.

He might not even need to go on a date, because the Tenyu family might not allow Tenyu Hikaru to see him anymore. After all, Kuroba Akira is still Orochi's Jinchūriki, just like Kami and Piccolo Daimaō. It's best if they don't see each other, let alone fuse.

Furthermore, it's unknown what state Tianyuguang will be in afterward.
