I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 283 Paying Homage to the Wharf and the New Dungeon

"Where are we going next?"

After leaving the Prime Minister's official residence in Chiyoda, Ryoko Miyashita, who already had a general understanding of the changes that occurred after her 'death,' inquired about the matter.

Come back home?

But their home was already in ruins, so they could only return to the relief tent.
What a joke!
It's one thing if they were unaware before, but now that they're staying in disaster relief tents, the island's cabinet must be having a hard time sleeping.

"I'm going to visit a very important figure in the extraordinary world. Ryoko, would you like to come along?"

After receiving Ryoko's nod, Jun Kishida looked at his mother-in-law.

"Aunt Miyashita?"

"I won't."

Having calmed down from the joy of her daughter's resurrection, Mrs. Miyashita waved her hand with a smile.

"I'm going to check out our new home. You young people can get along on your own."

Bunkyo Ward is still under reconstruction, but the housing problem for the Kishida and Miyashita families is no problem at all. The Shinju Ward 'just happens' to have two new courtyard houses available, ready to move in without spending a penny; if Kishida Jun refuses again, then the government officials will have no choice but to kneel down and beg him!
This is a 'big shot' in the underworld, a high-level superhuman who can bring his girlfriend back from the dead.

These so-called "big shots" of the world are nothing compared to the other side.
However, the government also had some unexpected gains:
"Sanzu Province, north of Takashima City, Kyoto Prefecture?"

"Yes, Director."

Fujiko, who had hurriedly left with Director Takeya, reported...

“An extraordinary disaster has occurred in that small town: it was caused by the town’s mayor, doctor, police officer, tram driver, and school security guard.”

If it were just a regular 'supernatural disaster,' the local supernatural countermeasures department would naturally handle it. However:
"They encountered the wanted criminal 'Nine Empty Shakes Love' and were then drawn into the underworld."

"And, I encountered an extraordinary young man carrying an umbrella!"

Island nations love superhumans who carry umbrellas; who else but Jun Kishida could it be?
Especially considering that those who reported the incident mentioned that Jun Kishida carried a middle school girl out of the Sanzu River, coupled with today's events, there is no doubt:
"The secret to resurrection lies in the Sanzu River."

It is located in Santu Prefecture.

"Seal off that town immediately!"

"Yes, our people have already set off."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The important person that Jun Kishida was going to visit with Ryoko Miyashita lived in Adachi Ward.

"master,"

“A person who claimed to be a ‘messenger from the underworld’ came to pay his respects.”

Yuu's energetic voice came through the phone, as Yuu, who already knew about this, gave the instructions.

"Let him come over."

In the area where Yu's family is located, the Onmyoji of the Kakaiin family are openly patrolling and setting up outposts. If Yu hadn't said that it was unnecessary to go to such lengths, the island nation would have loved to station several regiments of troops around the area.

Yu is a trump card to deter opposing superhumans.

Without him, the island nation would have been destroyed by the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei!
Even though the island nation knew he didn't need such an important person, it still dispatched a large number of people to protect this neighborhood in Adachi Ward.

"Who is this important person living here?"

As the Onmyoji, dressed in long robes and tall hats and accompanied by strange-looking monsters—no, shikigami—walked by, Miyashita Ryoko, who hid behind Kishida Jun, felt both frightened and curious.

"He is the strongest Onmyoji in modern times."

"Let's pay them a visit first, otherwise it would be bad if we accidentally hurt them."

Ryoko Miyashita has been resurrected and is now in an 'Edo Tensei' state: according to her master, this body will not be injured, will not feel pain, and will not die.

As long as Kishida Jun continues to provide 'spiritual power', even if it is shattered into dust, it can be gathered together and revived.

It can be said that he no longer needs to worry about Ryoko's safety.

but--

This state is afraid of being sealed.

The question is, who in Tokyo is the best at sealing?

Without a doubt, it's Yu-kun, the one behind the Hanakain family.

If Ryoko accidentally bumps into someone from the Kakeruin family and gets sealed away by them, Kishida Jun will have nowhere to cry!

"This Yu-kun recently engaged in a fierce battle with Abe no Seimei, the 'most powerful Onmyoji in history'."

“The Bunkyo Ward where my family lived was destroyed in the war, and several other areas were also affected; if it weren’t for that Yu-kun defeating Abe no Seimei, Tokyo, no, the island nation, probably wouldn’t exist now.”

As Jun recounted facts that sounded like myths and legends, Miyashita Ryoko felt dizzy and her mind couldn't quite process them.

Is this still the Tokyo she knows?

It's only been two years since I've been 'dead,' but the world seems to have changed so much!
Just then, an Onmyoji walked over, surrounded by more than a dozen long, white weasels. Could this be the legendary Kuganeko?
"My name is Hanakain Ryuuji,"

The visitor cupped his hands in a traditional greeting and smiled as he raised his hand in acknowledgment.

"You two, please come with me."

"Thank you for your trouble,"

Jun Kishida gave Ryoko Miyashita a reassuring look, then took the girl's hand and led her across the street with the eldest son of the Kakeruin family.

Ryuji Hanakain's strength is only 'average', but he has a frighteningly strong younger sister. Moreover, his sister is very effective against Jun Kishida, so even though the opponent is only a 'mere' Wolf-level, Jun Kishida still maintains a respectful attitude.

Before long, an ordinary detached house appeared in front of the three of them.

"please,"

At the invitation of Ryuji Kakaiin, the two pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. You, please forgive my unauthorized visit."

"It's alright, please have a seat."

? ?
Although he knew that his somewhat shy childhood sweetheart was already enough to make the island nation's prime minister smile and flatter him;
But looking at the two people in the hall, the girl still found it hard to believe that they were actually important figures from the underworld, the most powerful Onmyoji in modern times. "Kishida-kun is from the underworld,"

"Did you come here because of her?"

Just as Miyashita Ryoko was lost in thought, the other person had already looked over.

A single glance filled her with inexplicable terror!
"So it was a 'Reincarnation of Impure World' body,"

As Ryoko Miyashita subconsciously stood up and hid behind Jun Kishida, Yu nodded.

"I will restrain the Hanakain family and will not harm your woman."

Ah, women and stuff
"Thank you,"

With Miyashita Ryoko blushing, Kishida Jun breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Yu's personal promise.

While the Impure World Body technique is indeed amazing, it is no match for this great Onmyoji: not to mention Ryoko, even Kishida Jun himself couldn't defeat this disciple of Yu-kun.

"Besides asking for your leniency, I have another matter to discuss with you today."

Jun Kishida came not only for 'personal matters' but also for 'official matters'.

“My family says that because of the Yamata no Orochi, a group of ferocious evil spirits have recently escaped from the underworld.”

Thanks to a certain young lady, the entire island nation now knows very well that the mastermind behind the Yellow Springs Rift is the 'Yamata no Orochi'; moreover, this 'Yamata no Orochi' can absorb negative human emotions and eventually return from the Yellow Springs to once again unleash boundless sins.

However, the most frustrating thing is that the more you remind yourself not to be afraid of Him, the more you are actually afraid!
The more afraid you are, the faster the Yamata no Orochi will revive; the thought of this only makes you more terrified. It's a vicious cycle.

Therefore, the entire island nation hates Jiukong Yaoai to death!

If we were unaware, everyone would be oblivious, and life would just pass by; now, tens of millions of people are living in fear, yet they have to pretend to be calm and dare not lose heart.
This is simply making things difficult for people!

"Oh, I wonder what kind of evil spirit escaped?"

Someone who knew perfectly well picked up their teacup and asked, feigning interest.

"The Sixth Heavenly Demon King!"

The so-called "Sixth Heaven Demon King" in the history of the island nation was none other than Oda Nobunaga, the famous figure from the Warring States period!

This man's life can be described as legendary: as a child, he was idle, troublesome, and prone to climbing trees and swimming in rivers. Most of his family members, including his mother, disliked him. The title "The Big Fool of Owari" is by no means a positive evaluation.

He inherited the position of head of the family in his youth, but due to his unruly personality, his mother and his senior ministers planned to kill him and install his younger brother as the head of the family.

The teacher committed seppuku to persuade Nobunaga: Faced with this series of blows, the "fool of Owari" displayed his skill and wisdom, fighting against his own people while defending against external enemies, and managed to stabilize the situation.

Not long after, the Imagawa clan marched on Kyoto with their troops, aiming to become the "king of the land".

The Oda clan stood in the way of the Imagawa clan.

The opposing allied forces, numbering in the tens of thousands, were a formidable force, composed of seasoned warriors; while the Oda clan numbered only a few thousand, mostly foot soldiers who were also farmers. The disparity in strength between the two sides was extreme.

Faced with a formidable enemy, the morale of the Oda clan plummeted to rock bottom, and Oda Nobunaga began to sing the famous "Atsumori Poem".

Fifty years in the human world, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, all seem like a dream; those who are born once, how can they not perish?

He then mounted his horse, beat the drums to assemble his troops, and headed straight for the enemy's central army!

The Imagawa clan never expected Oda Nobunaga to dare to charge out, and was caught off guard. At the same time, a strong wind blew and the rain poured down, and the Oda clan advanced with the wind, unstoppable! The Imagawa clan fought against the rain and was routed.

This was the famous Battle of Okehazama, where the Imagawa clan, who had the best chance of becoming the ruler of the land, was beheaded amidst a vast army.

The victorious Oda clan expanded aggressively and finally succeeded in marching on Kyoto under the banner of "unifying the realm by force".

What followed were three sieges, the Ikko-ikki uprising, the defeat of Takeda, and the establishment of his dominance over the world.
However, at the height of its power, it encountered the 'Honnoji Incident'!
The trusted retainer, Akechi Mitsuhide, brazenly betrayed him!
After a fierce battle, the wounded Oda Nobunaga met his end:

Fifty years in the human world, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, all seem like a dream; those who are born once, how can they not perish?

The poem titled "Atsumori" was sung once again by the man trapped in the fire: the first time, as if divinely aided, he broke through the enemy lines; the second time, at the end of his rope, all that remained was a sigh.

"When times come, heaven and earth all work together to transport heroes without freedom."

Setting down her teacup, You couldn't help but sigh.

"Only extraordinary power can control one's own destiny."

"Is such that,"

Junya Kishida nodded.

His ability to rescue Ryoko from the Sanzu River and to be welcomed with smiles by the island's cabinet is due not only to his identity as a member of the underworld, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to his demon-level strength.

However, the most important thing right now is the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King' who escaped from the underworld.

My family said…

"If Oda Nobunaga is allowed to gather his demon soldiers, it will surely bring a calamity to the human world."

"I have already notified the government. Could you please send someone to help me as well?"

Of course, it's not about asking Yu to take action: Previously, Director Takeya most wanted Yu to act, but now it's the opposite; she practically wants Yu to go directly to the Divine Tree and stay with 'Divine Child' Tenjo Eiryu. —For no other reason than, what if that Abe no Seimei were to lower himself and launch an assassination attempt? Who could withstand that?
As 'insiders', the island nation's top leadership is well aware of this.

Yu is usually only at the 'Demon level', and he needs the Heavenly Maiden Ying to transmit the power of the Divine Tree through the 'Kagura Dance' in order to be able to fight against the Great Onmyoji.

However, Yu was unwilling, and there was nothing they could do about it.

As for asking You to help out normally?

Forget it!
This is the guardian deity of the island nation, its true 'trump card'. How can it be easily deployed?

Unless it's a crisis that threatens the very existence of your country, don't bother me with these matters.

"The Onmyoji of the Hanakain Family"

"Can,"

Yu readily agreed to Kishida Jun's request.

The Kakaiin family not only has Yura, a master, but also a considerable number of low-level superhumans: these 'Onmyoji' are all in the stage of cultivating shikigami, which is the time when they need to train.

As for the BOSS 'Oda Nobunaga', he's only a 'mere' strong demon level, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Hmm, probably...
