"But Hiromi and I are going on our honeymoon soon, and we'll be leaving Tokyo," Chen Yu explained with difficulty in response to Suzuhime's request.

He certainly understood what it would mean to let a deity wander around Tokyo, especially one who hadn't stepped outside for over a hundred years and looked like a young girl. If someone were to offend her...

Chen Yu certainly didn't want to return from his honeymoon to find Tokyo in post-disaster reconstruction.

"Don't you have anyone else in Tokyo you can trust? What about the Little Rice Princess?" Jounouchi Hiromi also asked concerningly from the side.

"The Little Rice Princess's shrine is a suitable place to stay, but she's already doing well to take care of herself. Asking her to look after the Matchmaking God would be too much; she's still too young," Suzuhime shook her head, clearly not optimistic about the Little Rice Princess, an even younger girl than the Matchmaking God.

Hearing Suzuhime's words, Chen Yu fell into thought, hesitated for a moment, and then asked her, "May I presume to ask why the Matchmaking God needs to stay in Tokyo?"

Faced with Chen Yu's question, Suzuhime hesitated, unsure whether to disclose the scene she had witnessed at the banquet, especially since the living dead person might be related to Chen Yu.

"It's your friends, the man who was at our table earlier and the woman from the next table. They've formed a marital bond, but that woman is dead," Suzuhime still hesitated, but the Matchmaking God had already spilled the beans, "While everyone has the right to form marital bonds, the boundary between life and death cannot be crossed. You know the consequences of a living person loving a dead one, don't you? Young Demigod."

The Matchmaking God who addressed Chen Yu as "Young Demigod" finally showed the dignity and poise of a deity, but that only lasted three seconds before her face fell again, "Love between the living and the dead is really troublesome! They've only just formed a bond, so there's still a chance to turn things around, which is why I must stay here and keep a close eye on them!"

As soon as the Matchmaking God mentioned love between the living and the dead, Chen Yu's gaze sharpened. He thought of Inomata Naoki and Minami, who had scrambled for the bouquet at the wedding, and felt a wave of annoyance, "They've formed a bond? Naoki, that rascal! Who asked him to fall for Minami of all people!"

Neither Suzuhime nor the Matchmaking God was surprised that Chen Yu knew the names; being a guest at the wedding meant he obviously knew them.

"The most important thing now is to prevent them from continuing down the wrong path. After all, Chen Yu, you understand the consequences of a human falling in love with a ghost and breaking the boundary between life and death, right?" Suzuhime looked at Chen Yu, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

"I'm aware of the situation now, but one of the two involved is a good friend of many years, and the other I practically brought back to life myself. So I don't want to resolve this with brute force. What do you both think?" Chen Yu massaged his forehead, clearly annoyed, yet patiently trying to persuade the Matchmaking God and Suzuhime, "Moreover, when it comes to matters of the heart, I believe in persuasion rather than coercion. If we interfere too forcefully, it might only catalyze their emotions."

"You make a good point. If we simply use brute force to stop a romantic situation, it indeed could intensify even moderate feelings. And as a deity guarding marital bonds, I can't act against such bonds, so I must stay in this city and watch over them, to avoid the situation becoming uncontrollable!" The Matchmaking God agreed with Chen Yu's view, but also stressed her own reason for staying.

Chen Yu tapped his forehead, considering for a moment before he said, "This matter is critical, but it can't be dealt with urgently. Besides, Hiromi and I are about to go on our honeymoon and won't be in Tokyo for almost ten days. I really can't take care of the Matchmaking God.

"However, since this is so important and you're alone, Matchmaking God, I doubt you can keep an eye on both of them at the same time. Maybe you should find someone to help?"

"Find someone to help?" The Matchmaking God and Suzuhime asked in unison, curious.

"I know this place! It's Sakuradamon! I didn't expect such big changes after a hundred years!" Seated in the car, the childlike Matchmaking God looked out at the bustling streets with amazement, "Last time I was here, I witnessed a stabbing! The person who was killed seemed to be named Ii something; I knew his ancestor, a remarkable woman. Sadly, she never met her match."

The look on the Matchmaking God's face became somewhat wistful as she mentioned the woman who never found her match.

In that era of chaos, she had seen too many destinies that should have been beautiful shatter into pieces, and as a deity, she was powerless to protect them.

"Mr. Chen Yu, are you sure the people here can help?" Suzuhime, who was also in the car, asked Chen Yu. After discovering the bond between Inomata Naoki and Minami at yesterday's wedding, she had wanted to return to Kyoto to report to the Inari God. But being unable to settle the Matchmaking God's matter meant she had to stay an additional day in Tokyo.

Chen Yu nodded and explained to Suzuhime, "We are seeking help from the country's current supernatural management department. They are more professional than us when it comes to surveillance, and they have more people. Plus, if necessary, it's much more convenient to intervene using official authority rather than revealing our identity as deities."

Reassured by Chen Yu's explanation, Suzuhime nodded slightly, watching the car pull into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters.

Chen Yu had of course contacted Yamada Nobuyosuke, whom he had met before. Knowing that a deity would visit, Yamada did not dare to neglect her. Despite only being in the underground parking lot, he still made a substantial effort to welcome the deity's arrival.

"Yamada Shin'nosuke of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division, at your service," said Yamada as he bowed deeply to the Matchmaking God as she stepped out of the car. The others from the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division followed suit.

Even though the Matchmaking God was just a young girl, she was still a deity. Her divine aura was not diminished by her youthful appearance.
