My Tokyo Love Game Has Big Problems

Chapter 187: Miko, Priest and God

Human beings use language to communicate with each other and names to refer to everything in the world.

From then on, everything had a name.

Even the invisible wind is bound by a name.

Walking on the heaven and earth, nature is sometimes peaceful and sometimes violent, and naturally has countless deified names.

This is also the beginning of primitive mythology, which personifies natural phenomena that humans cannot understand.

But all things in nature, including wind and rain, do not originate from human thoughts or ideas.

No matter what people call it, no matter how they look at it.

The wind will blow, the rain will fall, landslides and tsunamis will come as expected, without any mercy or cruelty.

Therefore, in primitive mythology, most humans have a feeling of fear and awe towards gods.

He is the real god, not the ancestral god revered by humans.

If it was true as He said, then He would not appear here, let alone fulfill Tamaki Hikari's wish.

Perhaps this is the original God and belief. God does exist and is everywhere.

It's just that for Li now, he is more inclined to the latter.

[There should be a saying among human beings that people who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black, right? 】

Everywhere in this world, everything produced by nature may have been brought about and passed by a "god" like him.

In this case, His realm is more like what is described in many Taoist classics.

"Then I'll call you Li."

Regardless of whether humans can see His body or hear His voice, He does exist in some things in nature.

"Is the miko you are talking about the child just now? She is very important?"

The so-called witches and believers are the links, the so-called wedges, that maintain people and these invisible and selfless "gods".

He was originally running between heaven and earth, whistling by the wind.

What can be understood by people will not be "god".

Just like the so-called Amaterasu in this country, there is a high probability that he is Himiko, the queen of the ancient Yamatai Kingdom.

[Huh, what you said is correct, but my miko has never given me a name, so you can call me whatever you want. 】

"Besides, you are not against contact with humans, are you? Since you accept the definition of gods by humans, it is not difficult to accept a name, right?"

Tamaki Hikaru directly took out a word from the Pure Glass Mirror to use as a title.

[Yes, although that is not a big deal, for me now, it is better to be able to have myself. 】

The wind does not change direction according to people's wishes, and the rain does not fall according to people's emotions, but "gods" like Li do.

Returning to the original selfless state, you will still have a human-like self as you do now. There is no distinction between good and bad.

To the unbeliever, everything that happens is natural.

Its core is closer to the God in Spinoza's mouth, that is, God = nature, but with some divine content added.

Changes will naturally follow, just like ink dripping into a pool of water.

The voice that appeared in Tamaki Hikari's ears said that he had no name and did not need a name. Perhaps this was also the reason.

And for those who believe, especially those who have qualifications in this area, they may be able to see an invisible and immaterial existence blowing the wind to inflate hurricanes and set off waves.

Although he didn't know why, he subconsciously chose the word "Li" instead of the other words.

There is no self as human beings understand it, and there is no thought or concept of good or evil.

Tamaki Hikaru concluded that he basically understood it.

Because of our connections with people, we will naturally be affected by them.

[The originally pure water will be dyed black as long as a drop of ink is added to it. This is what a witch means to me. 】

But when a very small number of human beings, perhaps due to chance encounters or born with both talents, observed His existence.

【Yes and no. 】

"So, if you lose the miko, you will return to your original appearance, is that right?"

Maybe it's the slightly cool night breeze in the night sky, maybe it's the glow of the setting sun, everything is possible.

But He is not, He is the real God, an existence that is not defined by humans.

Tamaki Hikaru said without thinking.

What humans think of as natural phenomena may just be some changes subconsciously caused by "gods" like Li.

"But you always need a name to call you, right? Even calling you God-sama is something similar to a name."

Coexisting with heaven and earth, coexisting with all things, selfless and inaction.

After listening to Li's story, Tamaki Hikaru understood some of the reasons and methods.

Regarding Tamaki Hikaru's problem, the invisible god called Li knew everything and said it in full, without any intention of hiding it.

"Ha, some people tend to be in harmony with heaven and earth, but you want to have a self that is independent of heaven and earth. You really want what you want."

Tamaki Hikaru laughed.

[Let me talk about it first, don’t think about doing anything to my miko, it’s hard for me to find her. 】

In today's era, although the base of human beings has increased, the number of karma has decreased.

Because even if someone feels an unusual existence, they just ignore it as their own illusion and do not believe that they have seen gods.

The karma between man and God is very shallow, and even as a person grows and matures, he loses his karma and qualifications with God.

Therefore, shrine maidens usually choose girls who remain chaste and can only get married after retiring from office, and there are even young children like God Child.

Although it is not clear whether there is any bonus to having a pure mind, it is most likely not possible if the mind is impure.

Li warned Tamaki Hikaru not to do anything blindly and turn the miko he finally found into an ordinary person.

[If something happens to you, then you will become a priest and make up for the mistake. 】

Finally revealing his fox tail, Tamaki Hikari felt a little funny and knocked on the glass mirror in his hand.

It's a little inappropriate to say it's a fox tail, but after all, it's because there is something in him that Li is planning.

If something happens to the current miko, she can become another wedge for her to maintain herself.

However, such speculation can only be said to rely too much on human thinking.

It's hard to say whether Li has this level of thinking.

"I know, I wouldn't have done anything."

Tamaki Hikaru didn't care about priests or anything like that. After all, when he told him his affairs and wishes, the other party should understand that this was impossible.

[Having said so much, it’s your turn. 】

【Who are you? And what kind of wish do you want to make? 】

Hmm. How should I say this? If the other party is a god, then he should believe in something as outrageous as time travel, right?

Tamaki Hikaru thought for a while and then told everything he still remembered.

Anyway, Li could only tell it to herself, or to the little miko, but she couldn't tell anyone else.

From his own origin, to losing his memory, and having to go back to the future.

Tamaki Hikaru told these things in detail, including some of his plans.

[Well, it’s more than a hundred years later, and for reasons that I don’t know, I ended up living in this era? 】

Sure enough, after Li listened, there was no surprise in her voice.

Tamaki Hikaru felt a sense of hope in his heart.

"Have you ever encountered the same situation?"

[No, not at all. This is the first time I have heard of something like yours. 】

Li immediately denied his speculation.

[Traveling through time is unheard of. After all, time is also something that you humans define. I had no feelings before. 】

Only after being influenced by humans can they feel the passage of time.

Before this stage, everything in the world was just a change of matter to them, and there was no concept of time at all.

It is naturally unheard of for Tamaki Hikaru to travel through time.

[Besides, why do you think it’s you who traveled back from the future? Rather than you breaking away from the foreseeable future? 】

Li's words caused Tamaki Hikaru to fall into silence.

The exchange of cause and effect is really confusing.

After all, who was Tamashiro Hikari in this Taisho era first? Or should I have my future self first?

It's hard to say, as Li said, maybe the future didn't exist from the beginning, and it was just a slightly crazy precognitive dream?

Predicting the future seems to be much more acceptable than traveling through time and space.

Many people unconsciously have an intuition similar to a sixth sense, as if they can guess what is going to happen next.

But they couldn't explain this mysterious premonition. It seemed to be consistent with Tamaki Hikari's situation?

【Are you shaken? 】

Tamaki Hikaru came to his senses and put the glass mirror away to prevent himself from accidentally breaking it.

"No, this kind of thing is too complicated and is not something I should think about."

Tamaki Hikaru still prefers to trust his intuition and not think about these complicated and tortuous problems.

"Besides, I suddenly appeared in this era, right? This is proof enough."

[But will you have parents in the future? Did it come from the mother's womb? If so, why don't you have the slightest impression of your mother being such an important person? 】

Li immediately answered, silencing Tamaki Hikari again.

What Tamaki Hikari said just now, about people who feel important to him, clearly meant that.

If there is a family, is there anyone who doesn’t care about their family at all?

"If you say this, it's a bit of a personal attack."

Tamaki Hikaru said silently, no longer refuting.

【Um? Indeed, humans seem to care a lot about whether they have parents or not. It is indeed too much to say that you have no parents. 】

Tamaki Hikaru's mouth twitched, although he didn't really care.

But it's really hard to be greeted by the other person's parents one by one, especially when you know that the other person means no harm.

"Let's get back to business. My wish is very simple. I want to go back to the future. Can you do it?"

He no longer had high expectations, but Tamaki Hikaru still asked.

[Even I can’t do anything about this kind of thing. 】

[If according to what you said, it is impossible due to the miracle caused by the duel with the witch, then naturally it is impossible to recreate another miracle. 】

[What can happen repeatedly is no longer a miracle. Once a miracle occurs once, it is no longer a miracle the second time. 】

When humans cloned the first living thing, it was a miracle of science.

The second life of cloning is just an ordinary experiment.

In other words, even if Tamaki Hikaru recasts the fate dice, the miracle of time and space travel will not be repeated again.

However, Tamaki Hikaru thought a little and immediately found the loophole.

"In other words, I have changed its probability from zero to one in a billion."

"In that case, although it cannot be called a miracle, it can be recreated again."

Changing my thinking, it seems that this is also feasible.

[Then I don’t know. This is just a guess based on the magic you mentioned. 】

The answer to all the results can only be obtained after Tamaki Hikaru personally tries it.

Since Li couldn't do anything, Tamaki Hikaru was ready to stand up and leave directly.

【Hello! What are you anxious about? I just don't have the best method, but it doesn't mean that there are no other methods. 】

Li's voice stopped him and made Tamaki Hikari sit down again.

"You have to tell the whole story when you speak. Don't say half and leave half. What else can you do?"

[Aren’t you planning to settle for the next best thing and use the method of immortality as a backup plan? I can help you with this. 】

"What about the wish you promised? How come it turned into such a simple favor?"

Tamaki Hikaru shook the Ema in his hand and couldn't help but make fun of it.

[After all, I am not omnipotent. If you ask for some realistic things, even if you want an island made of gold, I can do it. 】

[You don’t even know how to do something, are you sure you want me to do it at will? 】

Tamaki Hikaru instantly gave up and stopped teasing Him.

"Forget it, let's continue talking about the previous topic."

Let Li operate according to his ideas at will, and he might be able to come up with something and destroy Tamaki Hikaru's body.

Then, more than a hundred years later, it would be a matter of pinching someone again and instilling Tamaki Hikaru's memory.

After all, from the perspective of a bystander, this is indeed a time travel spanning more than a hundred years, isn't it?

It's just that it's a little hard to accept for Tamaki Hikaru himself.

Let’s talk about the topic of immortality. As an alternative, this is still acceptable.

[The simplest way is for me to take action to slow down your aging. At the limit, it shouldn't be a problem until more than a hundred years later. 】

"But it's just a matter of holding on until then, and I'll still be aging terribly, won't I?"

Tamaki Hikaru retorted.

Glass is the embodiment of nature, but the limit of the human body lies there.

He cannot create something out of nothing, because this is the iron law of nature.

"Let's talk about other things. You should have other methods, right?"
