Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

There are a lot of bombs under his butt, and all kinds of messy trivial matters give him a headache.

His life now is like walking on thin ice...but he dare not even show his fear.

If he had been greedy for power, he would not have become a scholar.

Miyamizu Toshiki's gaze suddenly stopped on Taichi, who was whispering something with Akane Shinjo.

"Naruto-kun, could you please come with me for a moment?"

Miyamizu Toshiki stepped forward and tried to have a private chat.

"Then I'll go play with Sanye and Yotsuba first." Akane Shinjo was very sensible and took the initiative to withdraw, leaving the venue to the old and the young.

"I heard that although some people were injured in this disaster, fortunately no one died." Taiyi looked at the figure of Shinjo Akane leaving and said, "That's great."

"...Indeed." Miyamizu Toshiki nodded expressionlessly, "No one was seriously injured or killed, which is good news."

"All this is thanks to you... I strongly request that the exercise start today."

"Could it be that you are... the 'god' enshrined in the Miyamizu Shrine?"

Miyamizu Toshiki uttered words that made Taichi dumbfounded.

"...God? Me?" Taiyi pointed at himself with a dull expression, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect Mayor Gongshui to believe in 'God'."

"...I didn't believe it at first." A trace of fatigue flashed in Miyamizu Toshiki's eyes. "After all, if God really existed, Futaba wouldn't have left me forever."

"Is Futaba... Mitsuha's sister?" Taichi, who has not learned about Mitsuha and Yotsuha's family affairs and should not know who Futaba is, looked at Miyamizu Toshiki.

"She is my wife, the mother of Mitsuha and Yotsuha," Miyamizu Toshiki replied, "She was supposed to take over the position of the chief priest of Miyamizu Shrine after my mother retired."

"But for some reason, when she couldn't get effective treatment for her illness, she refused to go to a large hospital for treatment."

"After her death, the townspeople regarded Erye's death as the will of 'God', and even her mother felt nothing about it..."

"That was the first time I felt disgusted by the 'religious customs' of Miyamizu Shrine."

Miyamizu Toshiki took a deep breath and stopped the cry that was about to burst out of his throat.

"But I feel more fear than hatred."

Miyamizu Toshiki turned his head and used a somewhat ferocious look to describe his inner anxiety at the moment.

"I can't imagine if Sanye and Yotsuba left me like Futsuba did, but there wouldn't be anyone but me who would feel sad for them."

"..." Taichi looked at Miyamizu Toshiki with a strange look.

Do you also want to break feudal superstition?

He is a good person, but unfortunately he is not in the right place.

Even the age isn't quite right.

"If Mayor Miyamizu didn't want Sanye and Yotsuba to follow in their mother's footsteps, why didn't he just take them away from this town?" Taiyi asked, "As long as they leave this town, even the ideals they have been instilled with since childhood may be completely changed by the impact of the outside world."

"..." Miyamizu Toshiki twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression was very ugly, but he didn't say a word.

Can he say he doesn't dare?

He had personally experienced the scene when Erye was revered as a god by the people in the town.

If Erye had just passed away, he would have dared to leave with the two 'Heavenly Beings and Second Generations'. He had no doubt that the townspeople, whose minds had been distorted by religious customs, would surround and kill him.

Xishou Town is too remote, so remote that you may not be able to find its location on the map.

Although Xishou Zhenyuan is not a poor and barren place, and can even be said to be quite wealthy, the people whose minds are poisoned by religious beliefs are more terrifying than the unruly people raised by poor and barren places.

Even now, he couldn't think of running away with his two daughters.

The younger generation who are around the same age as Mitsuha and Yotsuha are not so bad. With their efforts over the years, they have barely escaped the fate of having their thinking constrained by religion, and can even occasionally make a few jokes about Miyamizu Shrine.

But this is not the case for people of the same generation as him, or even older than him.

In addition to the money and power interests involved, being on good terms with him, the local construction industry envoy Teshigawara family, who can be said to be his staunch political supporter, has a more important mission.

That is to be responsible for supervising him closely.

He knew it, but didn't dare to show it.

Therefore, he didn't even dare to meet his daughter privately and talk to her in private.

Over the years, he has developed a poker face.

The price he paid was that neither of his two daughters wanted to be close to him.

This time, the reason why Miyamizu Toshiki once again colluded with the mayor of Hida City was to allow outside ideas to cause an ideological impact on this closed town.

Even if the effect of the impact is weak, if it can make the young people in Xishou Town yearn for the outside world, it can be considered a victory for him.

But what happened today made him feel timid.

Chapter 7: Let professionals do professional things

"Other dimension man, my suggestion is to buy more negative energy monsters." The whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and a strange tone came from the head, "This way, even if those monsters are defeated by Ultraman, I can collect the negative energy that escapes."

“Shadow Mage, you know how hard it is to find negative energy monsters now.” The alien withdrew his gaze from the huge pit in Itomori Town and turned to look at the black robe behind him. “Instead of placing your hopes on the monster I bought, you might as well find the human body of Ultraman and kill him.”

"My experience of many of my companions dying in battle tells me that if we don't defeat Ultraman right after he appears and before his strength reaches its peak, the ones who will suffer in the end will definitely be aliens like us."

"Moreover, that Ultraman possesses a strange light skill. So far, I can't even find a piece of the body of my three precious monsters after they were defeated. I am at a big loss now!"

"You didn't find it either?" This time, the Shadow Mage was obviously a little unsure. "It's impossible for such a large body to disappear completely without leaving any trace."

"Besides, do you think I don't want to find the human form of that Ultraman as soon as possible? I've tried since his second appearance!" Shadow Mage's tone became obviously impatient, "But the existence of that Ultraman is completely different from the Warrior of Light I know. I can't find any signs of his existence before and after his transformation!"

"As for you, aren't you hiding among the upper echelons of humanity now? And you haven't found anyone who is suspected to be the human body of Ultraman?" The Shadow Mage turned his head and looked at the alien being and questioned.

"We did find a few suspected cases before, but they were all proven to be fakes." The alien replied somewhat depressedly, "In the words of Earthlings, those idiots are just chuunibyou."

"...When it comes to seeking death, people on Earth always come up with new ways to do it." Shadow Mage shook his head speechlessly.

"Indeed, unlike aliens, there are only a few fixed ways to commit suicide." The alien laughed strangely, "The one who used military equipment to destroy his own clan, and the one who attacked the Kingdom of Light and destroyed himself again."

"And people like us, invading planets guarded by Ultraman." The Shadow Mage's tone became strange again.

"But we're not like those idiots."

"We have united the forces within the Earth and blocked any possibility for the Earth to seek help from outer space or even other dimensions."

"As long as we kill the only Ultraman who could threaten us, the Earth will become our paradise!"

"No, before that, we still have to decide the winner." The alien stared at the Shadow Mage fiercely and reminded him, "The alliance between you and me is only to force the local forces on Earth to cooperate with us."

"Of course I know." The Shadow Mage curled his lips secretly, "But aren't you worried that I will join forces with my Earth allies to backstab you?"

“Hehehe…” The alien sneered, “Those guys will only watch you and me fight to the death from the dark side. If we join forces with one of us to target the other, it will only make them lose interest in watching the fun.”

"That's true, but there are conflicts of interest among those guys. As long as we grasp this point... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..." The Shadow Mage disappeared with a strange laugh.

"Tsk." The man from another dimension looked at the empty surroundings, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and then turned his gaze to another forest.

"Perhaps, I can learn from some of my predecessors and create a few super beasts using local monsters on Earth. However, the 'God of Wisdom' is also a problem. According to the experience summarized by my predecessors, my identity may be exposed to the monsters around her sooner or later. Tsk, just get rid of her first. After all, she is just a human with an unusual experience, and none of those guys are willing to protect her."

……

"Ah-! Suck--" Rubbing the tip of her nose, Iwanaga Kotoko rubbed her arms with both hands in dissatisfaction, "I always felt like I was cursed at that moment just now."

"Your Highness, there is no curse." The little monster floating beside Iwanaga Kotoko, who usually serves as a means of transportation, answered with his small eyes blinking.

"It's just a metaphor." Iwanaga Kotoko poked the ground with her cane. "How's the survey of the surrounding mountains and forests going?"

"Very good! Princess!" A fox stood on two feet beside Iwanaga Kotoko and smiled cunningly, "It's far away from human habitation, and the resources are quite rich, enough to build a 'Yokai Town'."

"Ah, this plan will have to be postponed for half a year." Iwanaga Kotoko glanced at the fox demon and reminded, "After all, the news of the double arrival of the meteorite and the monster will bring a large number of tourists to Itomori Town in a short period of time."

"It's actually more beneficial to our plan, isn't it?" Yukinoshita Haruno, who was some distance away from Iwanaga Kotoko and was consciously resisting the monster, spoke.

Yukinoshita Haruno and Iwanaga Kotoko arrived in the vicinity of Itomori Town this morning.

In addition to the two of them, there is also the father of the Yukinoshita family, a county councilor who is currently in a rather awkward position.

However, Mr. Yukinoshita is not in Itomori Town now, but at the Hida City Hall.

After all, his vote bank was bankrupt due to the login of the first monster, and his support rate has reached a very dangerous level.

If he doesn't find a way out quickly, he might be in danger of saying goodbye to politics in the next election.

Even if he secretly attached himself to the Fujiwara clan, he could only temporarily suppress the danger for a period of time.

Just then, Taichi took the opportunity and went to the Yukinoshita family with the documents.

But the Yukinoshita family alone could not seize this opportunity, so the Fujiwara family also turned their attention over.

Not much, at most they lent a few chess pieces from the Nagoya High Public Prosecutors Office to the Yukinoshita family.

They dare not take too many actions. After all, the Fujiwara clan is still in an endless tug of war with Shido Masayoshi's faction.

There are several other factions behind the scenes stirring up trouble, and no one has the time to care about things in other regions.

But the opportunity Taiyi got was quite good.

At the very least, this is a major reshuffle of Hida City Hall, and if we dig a little deeper, we may even be able to get some Gifu Prefectural Council members.

Even the Fujiwara family was reluctant to give up such fat meat, so they took the risk of moving those idle chess pieces from the dark side to the front side.

The Yukinoshita family represents political endorsement of the documents in Taichi's hands.

The endorsement of humanity and law is handled by the hundreds of years old monsters under Kotoko Iwanaga.

All I can say is that no one is better at making the fake look real than those old monsters who are hundreds of years old.

Chapter 8: The result that makes everyone smile

Taichi had no idea how the Yukinoshita family and Iwanaga Kotoko operated.

He just acted like a fool and naive as a target for those people in the city hall.

The Yukinoshita family is responsible for political confrontations.

Kotoko Iwanaga asked the monsters to fill the loopholes in the documents Taichi had.

Meteorites and monsters are unexpected surprises.

After all, the town hall of Ishimori Town was completely destroyed after the meteorite fell.

This wave of settlement is truly a blessing from heaven for them.

The final loophole has been closed.

The Yukinoshita family has a new political path, the Fujiwara clan has fresh blood, Iwanaga Kotoko's prestige among the monsters has further deepened, and the monsters have a new habitat.

Taiyi, on the other hand, completed the political and legal procedures and truly owned the dozens of miles of land.

You don’t even have to worry about paying taxes in the future, after all, the monsters living in your new home will take care of it.

He could even get a batch of free monster labor.

The task of building a secret base depends on these monsters.

……

"Dad, it seems our house was hit and it's gone." The morning sun slowly rose, and Miyamizu Yotsuba sat on a wooden board and looked in the direction where her shrine was originally located.

Now there is no shrine or mountain there, only a big pit... and that pit has now been filled up by water from another huge pit.

"It's gone, it's gone." After a busy night, Miyamizu Toshiki finally found a chance to spend time with his daughter and pulled his tie down. He breathed a sigh of relief. "The disaster area is too wide. If nothing unexpected happens, with such heavy losses and the many disasters that may follow, the Ishimori Town will probably be relocated or even abolished."

"Wow... Not only have I lost my home, but I'm going to lose even my hometown in the future?" An expression of 'why is the world so difficult' appeared on Mitsuha Miyamizu's face.

The head of the Miyamizu family, Miyamizu Kazuha, sat quietly on the other side, sipping a cup of hot tea slowly in his hand.

"fair enough……"

The voice was so subtle that even Sanye, who was sitting next to her, almost missed it.

Just when Sanye was about to ask her grandmother something, the sound of a propeller came closer and closer.

"It's the Fire Department's helicopter!" Yotsuba jumped up from the wooden board and pointed towards the sky.

Two helicopters with Fire Department logos were slowly flying in from the direction of Hida City.

"Yes, I see. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yukinoshita... Well, that's it for now. I'm hanging up now."

Taichi put his phone away and put a relaxed smile on his face.
