Now is the time to make my presence known to Tohru and help him out in a small way.

After the misunderstanding is cleared up, you can leave a good impression and become friends with the other person.

In the future, if I or the Honma Meiko girls who have Diary like Honma Meiko encounter any trouble, we can ask Tohru, this kind-hearted dragon, for help.

This is probably the option that yields the most benefits without causing too much trouble.

The only problem is, where is Kobayashi? How long will it take her to get to the set?

In the real world, in Chichibu City.

As usual, after work, a pink-haired, low-budget version of Machima, a working-class Kobayashi named Kobayashi, got completely drunk. It was indeed fate that led her to board that tram whose final destination was at the foot of the mountain in Chichibu City in a drunken stupor.

However, due to the appearance of Miyauchi Hiyage, a man who rewrites the fates of others everywhere, just before the train was about to reach its final stop, and because of Honma Meiko's disappearance, and the inability to sense the aura of the Mountain God she had chosen, coupled with the impact of spatial fluctuations, the Ley Line also violently surged at that moment.

Therefore, the tram that was hit by this sudden earthquake stopped at the station before its final stop.

Similarly, due to the commotion caused by the earthquake, the intoxicated Kobayashi was led by staff to leave the train in a daze and go to a safer place to take refuge.

At that moment, oblivious Kobayashi had no idea that her fate had been changed by a stranger the instant she got off the bus.

Let's return to the area of Miyauchi Hiyage.

Unaware that Kobayashi from his world would no longer be coming here because of him, he responded to Tohru's question.

"We are not from this world. We were transported here by a spatial fluctuation. We came here only to find our way home."

"My name is Miyauchi Hiyage, and she is my friend Honma Meiko."

As he said this, a blue light flashed in his eyes again, but he no longer looked at Tohru and the holy sword that disliked him. "This is my extraordinary ability, which allows me to see things in the distance. I used this power when I first came to this world to make sure I was safe. If my spying just now made you unhappy, I apologize for my rudeness."

As it turns out, although Miyauchi Hiyage never intended to pursue Tohru, the compatibility between him and Tohru was indeed not good.

After the Miyauchi Hiyage finished explaining, Tohru's only reaction was to sigh.

"Fine, I won't live much longer anyway, so I'll just believe what you say for now."

She gently shook the dragon head, signaling Miyauchi Hiyage and the others to go to the right.

"There is a spatial rift over there. If you are willing to trust me, go over there. It should be able to take you back to your original world."

After saying that, Tohru returned to his original EMO state and began to recount his "short and boring" dragon life.

Miyauchi Hiyage naturally believed Tohru's words; there was no reason for the other party to lie to him.

It's not just that he hasn't waited for Kobayashi to appear yet, but also to check off this classic scene.

He also felt that leaving like that was too heartless.

More importantly, Honma Meiko shows absolutely no intention of leaving.

Looking at the green dragon in Honma Meiko was still clutching her Diary, wondering what she should do.

She was initially angry when the other party called Miyauchi Hiyage an impolite person, and suspected that the other party had attacked her earlier, which was why she had lost 10 Reading Points.

However, after hearing that the other party said this because of Miyauchi Hiyage's spying on it, and after Miyauchi Hiyage took the initiative to apologize and the other party even pointed out the way to leave, Honma Meiko felt that those dragons, who were mostly villains in legends and myths, did not seem as evil as she had imagined after she actually saw them.

She gave Miyauchi Hiyage a look that said, "Please give me a little more time," and Miyauchi Hiyage nodded slightly in response.

So she carefully took a few more steps forward, and after confirming that the Diary had not issued any danger warnings, she timidly asked the other person, "Um... excuse me, Ms. Long, is there really nothing wrong with the sword you have on you? You seem quite weak."

Tohru, whose memories had been interrupted, opened his eyes again.

Even though she was extremely weak, her dragon eyes still appeared very imposing to ordinary people.

Honma Meiko, and naturally felt a little uneasy.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage stood behind her and patted her on the back, seemingly to reassure her.

Seeing that Honma Meiko was not intimidated by him, Tohru then briefly explained his current situation to her.

"It's just that we were defeated in the war against the gods. It's not a big deal. You should leave here as soon as possible. This place might be punished by the gods later, and then you might not be able to leave even if you want to."

The term "divine punishment" is indeed quite intimidating, but Honma Meiko also had some misunderstandings because of the other party's words.

Could it be that the warning from the gods in heaven caused them to lose 10 Reading Points?

Thinking of that "god" who attacked them without even issuing a warning, it was indeed difficult for Honma Meiko to feel any goodwill towards him.

And gods and such...

Although she is still far from achieving that goal, once she returns to her own world and dies, she will be able to directly become a god.

Furthermore, since the Diary hasn't issued any danger warnings yet, Honma Meiko shook her head and continued, "I feel that Ms. Ryu is probably not a bad person. If there's anything we can do to help you, I'll try my best!"

Tohru was unaware that for Honma Meiko, the absence of any danger warnings in the Diary was the greatest source of trust. She simply looked at the human in front of her, who was about the same size as herself in human form, with some confusion.

Are all humans from another world this naive?

No, that boy named Miyauchi Hiyage doesn't feel innocent at all. I don't know why, but he gives me the feeling of being an old silver coin, and I can't easily believe anything he says.

Therefore, it must be that the girl in front of you is just naive.

She didn't dislike people like that.

She shook her head again. "The holy sword on my body is a weapon of the gods. Ordinary humans cannot draw it. You should give up this idea."

Chapter 206: The Destroyed Holy Sword

Tohru saw the naivety of the girl named Honma Meiko.

So even on his deathbed, he still explained things clearly to the other person so that they could finally give up.

Do you believe in the existence of gods?

When Tohru asked her question, Honma Meiko paused for a moment before nodding.

Whether it was the era before that mysterious decline, or the information she heard from the Omiya Shrine Maiden tonight, it all indicated that their world had true gods.

She even had the opportunity to become that so-called god.

And the world goes without saying.

According to the mother dragon herself, she met such an end in a war with the gods.

Moreover, the Diary in Honma Meiko's hand was, according to the You Know Who, a treasure given to them by a higher-level deity.

She no longer doubted the fact that gods truly exist.

To some extent, both the "You Know Who" who delivered the Diary to her and Miyauchi Hiyage, who saved her twice, can be considered "gods" who changed her life.

After Honma Meiko nodded sincerely in agreement, Tohru then displayed the expression that was expected of him.

"Yes, how could a human being like you, who is so favored by the gods, not believe in them?"

"So you can't do it."

"This sword is a holy sword bestowed by the gods. Anyone who has faith in the gods in their heart will not be able to draw this holy sword. Even just trying will cause irreparable damage to your body."

Tohru did not place his hopes on Miyauchi Hiyage, and did not even glance at him.

It seems that Miyauchi Hiyage, an existence disliked by the gods, does indeed have some chance of drawing the holy sword.

But the Holy Sword had already launched an attack on the boy once.

This signifies the Holy Sword's aversion to the Miyauchi Hiyage.

If she did nothing, she could have left this world peacefully.

But if Miyauchi Hiyage were to try it and reactivate the Holy Sword's autonomous defense, then she truly wouldn't even be able to die in peace.

So let's just forget about it; there's no need to put in the effort for something like this.

However, after hearing Tohru's explanation, Honma Meiko continued to stare intently at the holy sword.

Then she took out her Diary.

When Yotsuya Miko, Satoru Gojo his strong senses, activated the Diary's defensive power, he sensed a particularly subtle force.

Meanwhile, on Tohru's side, when Honma Meiko took out her Diary, she could also sense an extremely subtle power emanating from an unknown deity protecting her.

Tohru tried to see the true nature of the deity, but she couldn't see it at all.

To be precise, you can't even see the shadow clearly.

One can only vaguely sense that such a power does exist.

She was certain that even at her peak, she probably wouldn't have been able to discern the source of that power.

Is this the powerful god from another world?

It seems that the spatial rift she created this time has connected to a very powerful world.

While Tohru marveled at the power of the other world, Honma Meiko was checking her Diary to confirm the safety of drawing the holy sword.

Unable to confirm whether he could pull out the holy sword.

However, the backlash from the mere Holy Sword can be easily overcome by relying on Reading Points.

Thanks to the preliminary tasks she completed for the several high-level commissions today, she still has a considerable amount of Reading Points left. Even after using more than 20 points, she still has 50 or 60 points in reserve.

As a kind-hearted girl, if she could, she would indeed be willing to use all her current Reading Points to save this seemingly harmless dragon.

At the very least, we should give it a try.

So she turned to look at Miyauchi Hiyage: "Hikawa-kun, I have a way to protect myself from harm, so I want to try to see if I can pull out this holy sword. Can you help me?"

Miyauchi Hiyage knew things would develop to this point.

He knew about the constraints of this holy sword from the comics he had read in his previous life.

Only those who completely disbelieve in and do not trust in gods can draw this sword.

Honma Meiko is not that kind of person.

He's not that kind of person.

Before his journey, when he encountered crossroads in his life, he tried to pray in his heart.

Not to mention that he also experienced bizarre events like time travel and rebirth.

Perhaps the other party is a being of a higher dimension, but to him, those higher-dimensional beings are several levels higher than these ordinary gods, and ordinary gods are really not worthy of that being's status.

Miyauchi Hiyage knew that apart from the precognitive memories of his past life, the only difference in this life was that he was a little smarter and more cunning than in his previous life.

In essence, he is still just an ordinary person.

Therefore, he did not believe that he could be like Kobayashi in the original work, who, while drunk, genuinely disbelieved in the gods and drew the "Dragon Sword" without any trouble.

However, Kobayashi, who is destined to be here, has not yet arrived. Faced with Honma Meiko's desire to try, Miyauchi Hiyage cannot give a reason to refuse.

Let's give it a try. With the power of the Diary, there won't be too much danger, and we can also increase Tohru's favorability by a bit more.

Thinking this, his eyes lit up again and fell on Honma Meiko.

This involves a power struggle between deities, rendering the Eyes of Destiny ineffective.

But it can make Honma Meiko feel more at ease.

"If you really want to save the other person, I will help you, but it probably won't be easy, and you should be prepared to fail."

Honma Meiko nodded firmly.

"I know, I won't be stubborn."

Listening to the conversation between Miyauchi Hiyage and Honma Meiko, a hint of doubt flashed in Tohru's eyes.

The two people standing in front of her must be a couple in the human world.

But does Miyauchi Hiyage really trust his girlfriend that much?

She wanted to continue persuading the girl to give up her plan.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage's gaze turned to Tohru.

"My friend is acting on her own initiative. Even knowing the potential consequences of her actions, she still wants to try to pull out the holy sword, so she hopes you can cooperate."

As a dragon who has spent countless years mingling in the human world, Tohru, with his unique sense of human nature, could still sense a hint of "scheming" in the words of the boy before him.

But the same applies.

It was precisely because of this sense of "scheming" that Tohru was truly certain that the two men were indeed trying to pull out the holy sword from his body to save him.

Furthermore, under the protection of the gods in that other world, they were truly confident that they would not be harmed by the backlash of the holy sword.
