“…This year was also known as the first year of the Divine Era. With the proclamation of their existence by the three supreme deities, mankind returned to the mythical era…”

In an elementary school in Tokyo, the teacher stood at the podium, lecturing from the book.

It has been ten years since the Divine Enthronement of Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi, and the Inari God. The world has undergone great changes due to the influence brought by their enthronement; even the textbooks have increased theological content, and various religions have flourished.

Since the year of Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi, and the Inari God’s enthronement, the world has returned to the mythical era.

Japan, having the real presence of the Inari God, dramatically altered the textbooks for elementary and middle schools, adding a large amount of mythology and deity-related content.

Even the Japanese Imperial Family has been reasserting the claim that they are descendants of Amaterasu Ōmikami, seemingly with a tendency to reenter the political stage.

Of course, these matters had nothing to do with the primary school students attending at that moment. The knowledge of the mythical era was already familiar to them since kindergarten. Hence, it was no surprise that the sleepy students in the classroom showed little interest as the teacher recited from the textbook.

The teacher was already accustomed to this; she had taught these children since the first grade and had no effective way to engage them with such uninspiring content.

She had long tried methods to liven up the classroom atmosphere, but there were no new tactics left.

This elementary school was a renowned private institution, meaning the students came from affluent or distinguished families. The teacher was not at liberty to use any punitive measures on these children; with their lack of interest, she could only let it be.

However, among these kids, there was a lovely, fairy-like little girl who was still earnestly watching the teacher, trying hard to listen to the content.

Despite her squinting eyes betraying a sleepy demeanor, she was still making an effort to open them and pay attention.

This only made the little girl’s already adorable appearance even cuter. The teacher felt ever less inclined to chastise such a good child who was trying hard to listen attentively.

Fortunately, this torturous class for both the teacher and students soon ended with the chime of the bell, and the children perked up again.

As the teacher left, the students became lively again. Since it was lunchtime, the children took out their lunch boxes from their desks.

“Yixi, Yixi, what did you bring for lunch today? Is it made by your family’s maid again?” The little girl sitting next to her called her name, peeking into her lunch box.

The sleepy yet diligently listening little girl was none other than the daughter of Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi, Little Yixi, now a ten-year-old fourth grader.

Upon hearing her friend’s question, Little Yixi displayed her lunch box: “Sister Beifa made pan-seared salmon with mayonnaise broccoli. Caijia, would you like to try?”

Caijia, her desk mate, looked at Little Yixi’s lunch box, swallowed, and then resisted, saying, “No… thanks, my mom made me lunch, I’ll eat mine.”

Though she said that, her eyes still revealed a strong envy.

Although her mother’s cooking was also delicious, it was still quite different from the culinary skills of Little Yixi’s versatile perfect maid Beifa, akin to a world-famous chef.

Despite Little Yixi always generously sharing her lunch with Caijia, after trying it twice, Caijia stopped accepting because her own lunch became hard to swallow.

To avoid starving in the afternoon due to not finishing her lunch, Caijia could only resist the temptation of gourmet food.

The two chatted while eating their lunch.

Having known each other since kindergarten, the relationship between Caijia and Little Yixi had always been very good. While eating her lunch, Caijia invited Little Yixi: “Yixi, Yixi, come over to my house to play after school!”

“Go to Caijia’s house to play?” Little Yixi immediately showed interest but quickly shook her head, saying, “No, mom’s coming home today, so I can’t go to Caijia’s house to play!”

“Eh! Aunt Hiromi is coming back today?” Having known each other since childhood, Caijia had naturally met Little Yixi’s mother.

“Yes, mom called yesterday saying she would be flying back today, arriving home in the afternoon.” Little Yixi nodded, her heart filled with anticipation for her mother’s return.

Ever since Little Yixi could remember, her parents often were not at home, almost like a rotation: when her mom was away for a while, it would then be her dad’s turn.

If not for certain periods where both parents were at home together and their exceptional love and care, Little Yixi might have already felt dissatisfaction towards them.

Well-behaved and sensible since childhood, Little Yixi understood that her parents were indeed busy with work. They were respected scientists and doctors, making her feel very proud of them.

Although Little Yixi didn’t quite grasp the extent of her parents’ achievements and greatness, she was very aware that they were always respected by others.

After lunch, following a short break, the afternoon classes were similarly unremarkable. The physically gifted Yixi continued to excel in physical education, earning praise from the teacher and admiration from classmates.

Yet, none of this could distract her from eagerly wishing for school to end soon so she could go home and see her mom.

Finally, Little Yixi persevered until the end of school bell rang. She grabbed her backpack and dashed out of the school.

But just as she reached the school gate, a voice made her look up in surprise, a joyful smile spreading on her face: “Mom!”

“Yixi!” Jounouchi Hiromi stood there wearing a light-colored trench coat, waving at Little Yixi with a broad smile.

Little Yixi rushed over, throwing herself into her mother’s arms.

“Mom, why are you here?” Little Yixi hugged her mother’s legs, looking up at her and asked.

“Because mom missed Little Yixi! So I rushed home right after getting off the plane to pick Yixi up from school!” Jounouchi Hiromi patted her daughter’s head and smiled lovingly, saying, “Dad made lots of delicious food at home today! Let’s hurry home!”

“Okay!” Little Yixi excitedly nodded, grabbing Jounouchi Hiromi’s hand and walking towards home together.
