Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 192: Travel at Public Expense
"After these days of training, you must have sensed the demonic power in your body."

"From now on, you don't need to stay at the shrine to do 'fox alms'. As long as you persist in following the 'secret method' to guide the flow of demonic power, I believe you will soon be able to control your pair of 'exquisite fox ears'."

As if facing the grandfather of his granddaughter, Lord Wang Ren patiently explained to Yayoi Tsuki.

"Does that mean I don't have to stay in the shrine all the time?"

Upon hearing the news, Yayoi Tsuki's fox ears stood up straight and her eyes became a little excited.

Since her "strange visit", the other party not only generously shared the ancient books and secret methods left by the white fox clan, but also taught her a practice method called "fox charity".

By sensing the "demonic power" of the white fox clan remaining in the fox statues day and night, she gradually learned to sense, control and condense this innate yet extremely unfamiliar power.

"That's great...but..."

While feeling delighted, Yayoi Tsukishiro looked back at the vermilion torii gate that meandered to the top of Mt. Inari, feeling a little reluctant.

This white fox clan has worshipped Fushimi Inari Taisha for generations. The days of training at this shrine not only gave her hope of regaining her hearing, but also gave her a sense of innate affinity...

When stroking the fox statues, Yayoi Tsuki's mind would occasionally emerge the spectacular scene of white foxes running all over the mountains, bowing down to the Inari god like humans.

"Inari Taisha is the eternal home of the white fox clan. You can come back and stay for a while anytime you want."

"By the way, your friend has been waiting for you at the gate of the shrine for some time."

Lord Wang Ren pointed to the mountain gate below, pounded his waist with one hand, leaned on a crutch with the other, and left slowly but quickly.

"friend……"

As if she had thought of something, Yayoi Tsukishiro joyfully walked down the stone steps and quickly passed the imposing red gatehouse...

"What? It's Miss Xiaoxi."

When Yayoi Tsuki found that the person waiting on the stone bench outside the shrine was her agent Konishi, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Why, you look at me like that, are you expecting someone else to visit you besides me?"

Xiaoxi teased, walked around the Yayoi Moon, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, she is worthy of being my Yayoi. Even in a shrine maiden costume, she is still so tempting to commit a crime."

"After a week of rest, my complexion has improved a lot. Is this a shrine or a beauty salon..."

Compared to when they parted in Tokyo, Yayoi Tsuki's face looked much rosier, her dark circles were gone, and her whole body exuded a delicate and healthy look.

This is an unexpected benefit of the beautiful scenery of Inari Shrine, the light diet, and the fact that she practices "fox giving" on time every morning and evening, which leads to a regular schedule.

"My health has improved a lot, so my rest this time has come to an end for the time being. I plan to find a place to travel."

Yayoi Tsuki tucked her hair behind her ears and said nonchalantly.

"Travel, you've already been to Inari Taisha, a 'must-visit attraction in Kyoto', where else do you want to go..."

"Wait...you're not wearing your hearing aids...you can hear clearly?!"

Looking at Yayoi Yue's small, pearl-like earlobes, Xiaoxi suddenly discovered something and her face changed drastically.

"Thanks to this rest, my hearing has improved compared to before. I can hear people talking normally, but I still don't want to listen to music for the time being..."

"Perhaps, the hard work in the entertainment industry caused endocrine disorders and psychological imbalance, which led to my deafness."

In order to avoid the other party making a fuss, Yayoi Tsuki found an excuse to get away with it.

"Great, great..."

But Xiaoxi had no time to pay attention to those details, she just repeated with sparkling eyes.

"By the way, as a top agent, why are you not busy with work but coming here to see me, a leisurely person who is recuperating?" As if she was not used to the increasingly sentimental atmosphere, Yayoi Tsukiko abruptly changed the subject.

Although Xiaoxi is her full-time agent, she is also responsible for several promising newcomers, so she should not be idle.

"When I think about you resting in Kyoto while I have to work 996 in a cubicle, who would have the mood to work..."

"So, I took the excuse that the company asked me to pass on a job offer to you and came here on a 'commercial trip'."

Xiaoxi winked slyly and took out a document from her handbag.

"A job offer?"

"How can a useless person like me who has suspended his music activities indefinitely get a job offer?"

Yayoi Tsuki took the document and found the words "Idol Birth Festival" written on the cover.

"You are not a useless person, but the most popular female singer in District 11."

"The company's opinion is that music activities can be suspended, but exposure cannot stop. It would be a shame to lose such a huge popularity, and we must always prepare for a comeback..."

"After all, with your attractive figure and pretty face, if you don't sing anymore, you can do commercials or act in movies."

"This talent show is hosted by NHK. It has the best platform and popularity. It was included in the 'Variety Show Alternative Plan' at the beginning of the year..."

"You don't even have to sing. Just be a mentor. With your usual arrogance and sharp tongue, you can strike down those poor trainees. Not only will your popularity explode, but you can also make a fortune every day."

Xiaoxi curled her lips and casually introduced the situation of the job offer.

"But I know you're not interested, so I'll just wait until I'm done with my 'publicly funded trip' and then go back and reject the company for you."

"Hey, you just said you wanted to go traveling, where should we go?"

"Nara is good, but Luzi is a bit fierce and wants to bite my butt..."

"How about traveling all the way from Kamakura to the Izu Peninsula? Maybe I can meet some handsome guys?"

She stretched and began to imagine the wonderful itinerary of her "publicly funded tour".

"Back to Tokyo."

Yayoi Tsuki, who was sitting on the stone steps beside her and casually flipping through the program details, said suddenly.

"Tokyo? Why go back to Tokyo? I'm tired of playing around here. I'd rather go somewhere further away..."

"When I return to Tokyo, of course I will go on a variety show and give those trainees a good scolding."

As soon as Xiaoxi showed a puzzled expression, Yayoi Tsuki threw the document back into her arms.

"I'll pack my things now and leave in half an hour."

"What... your condition has just improved, why are you in such a hurry to go to work..."

"Just listen to what I'm saying, you workaholic!!!"

By the time Xiaoxi reacted, Yayoi Tsuki had already walked into the shrine.

Xiaoxi only had time to mourn the early end of her "publicly funded trip" and didn't pay any attention to the fact that the page on the document was the "Trainee List".

Among the densely packed ID photos the size of a fingernail, there is a familiar handsome face...

"Xia Fan, 19 years old, Dragon nationality, training time two and a half years..."
