Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

If Makoto Takaji were alive, there would still be some political maneuvering to turn enemies into friends based on considerations of value. But since Makoto Takaji is dead, there is no room for maneuver, otherwise the Takaji family would lose face.

Even if they want to reconcile, they must first have a showdown.

"It doesn't matter. If he comes openly and honestly, I'll welcome him openly and honestly. If he tries to use underhanded tactics, then whoever uses them will be sent down."

Jingu didn't care at all. If he was afraid of even one of the Five Regents, he might as well abandon the shrine and run away with Suga. The world is full of hidden geniuses. Instead of always being hesitant, he might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

“I think so too. You’ll be fighting with these people sooner or later, so it doesn’t matter if it’s sooner or later.”

Nagai Seiko nodded, then suddenly teased.

"Then why don't you just take me away? I promise I won't resist."

"Fine, then come back with me today? Let me see how many people want to beat me up tomorrow."

"Not much, about the same level as if you were flooding Tokyo."

Nagai Seiko counted on her fingers, then shook her head.

"To avoid getting beaten to death, let's just forget about it."

"Huh? You look down on me, don't you?" Jingu was a little annoyed. Flooding Tokyo was nothing; he could handle that right now.

"No, I'm just worried about you."

Mingju Shengzi jumped down and waved his hand.

"I have to go now. Something so big has happened, so school will definitely have to end early. Let's talk next time."

The farewell was very casual, just like last time, without even mentioning contact information.

"Let's go back too." Jingu looked down at the ground; Takatsukasa Makoto's body was gradually growing cold.

He wanted to say something, but it seemed like he had nothing to say, after all, it was just a case of the strong being played by the even stronger.

He uses his power to manipulate ordinary people, and the shrine uses its strength to manipulate him; there is no difference between the two.

"Love, let's go back."

They went straight to Su Woai's classroom, where Su Woai was still sitting in her seat waiting, having already guessed what was going on.

"Hey, did you do this?" Kuga Hikaru followed behind, stealthily approaching the shrine.

"So what?"

"Awesome." Kuga Hikaru gave Jingu a thumbs up, then whispered.

"Then I can't help you. This is too much trouble for me to handle."

Jingu chuckled to himself. It seemed that apart from Soga Ai and Tamamo-no-Mae, no one had any faith in him. Even Ai's faith was just blind faith.

"When did you ever need to take the blame? You're just a member of the Five Elements Academy."

"You're amazing. This humble woman will take her leave now."

After Kuga gave him a thumbs up again, he stopped following.

Although she knew that Jingu and Takaji Makoto would definitely clash and she was prepared, she didn't expect Jingu to directly ruin Takaji Makoto's life. She really couldn't take the blame for this.

How come I didn't notice yesterday that Jingu was so decisive? It's all because of that face of his!

Watching Jingu and the others walk away, Kuga Hikaru sighed.

Unnoticed by them, and uncared for even in death, Takatsuki Makoto gradually faded into the shadows of the crowd.

Chapter 21 Sakura Stream

It's still early, and it's rare that Su Woai doesn't have to go to class today.

Jingu then accompanied her for a stroll through the streets of Tokyo, while Tamamo-no-Mae, having finished her visit, slipped away first.

I guess she didn't want to be a third wheel and get targeted by Su Woai.

The weather has gradually warmed up and is no longer as chilly as it was in early spring.

The girls on the street were all showing off their smooth thighs, exuding youthful energy, while it was rare to see someone like Su Woai still wearing pantyhose.

Jingu wondered what would happen if it rained at this moment? Or perhaps there would be dark clouds obscuring the sun, thunder and lightning, but nothing would happen in the end.

So, the shrine suddenly discovered a business opportunity. All he had to do was keep making it rain, sell teru teru bozu (Japanese rain dolls) at the shrine, and then let the sun shine regularly. Who knows, he might be able to make a fortune.

However, just as he shared his novel idea with Su Wo Ai, he was met with opposition from the girl.

"Putting aside the price of teru teru bozu (sunny day dolls), the fact is that most teru teru bozu are handmade. Rather than relying on that, we should hope that the ema (votive plaques) praying for sunshine will sell out."

The above is Su Woai's answer. These days, even gods don't have it so easy to make money.

They can't openly display their divine power, and being too arrogant will only invite a mob attack. I really don't know how the other shrines in Tokyo manage to survive. Can those gods really accept such a poor life?

If I had traveled back to before the Edo period, I could have carved out my own path. With my overpowered abilities, it wouldn't have been an easy task.

Jingu wandered aimlessly, while Suo Ai looked at this and that, but didn't actually buy many things.

She was simply enjoying the blissful feeling of being accompanied by the shrine while shopping.

It's a pity that the shrine is still short of money; otherwise, she would take her little shrine maiden on a big shopping spree and make Suga Ai change clothes in front of her.

Although the two of them strolling through the streets had a unique feel of youthful romance, Jingu was still a little annoyed every time he saw Suga Ai picking things out in front of the vendors, only to put them down and not want them.

But as much as I was annoyed, I decided against letting the shrine use its supernatural powers to cheat or steal. Although I did wish to do what the myths and legends say, I could bestow a blessing upon someone and then take a small item from them in return.

But it's not always the case that someone happens to encounter bad things, and that they are the ones who are affected.

Besides, in this day and age, if you tell others you're in trouble, you'll most likely be seen as crazy and scolded. The shrine, realizing it lacks the refinement of the legendary immortals, avoids actively seeking out such trouble.

But coming out like this today is at least a date, so wouldn't it be very inappropriate to come out empty-handed?

The two happened to walk onto a tributary of Kanagawa River. The cherry blossoms were gradually blooming, and the falling petals floated on the water and drifted downstream. This scene immediately inspired the shrine.

"Ai, watch me perform a magic trick for you." Shen Gong suddenly called out to Su Wo Ai, pointing towards the river.

The flowers and trees on both sides of the river suddenly resembled those of early spring, with countless buds sprouting on the branches and then quickly blooming, the abundant flowers weighing down the branches.

Passersby were all amazed and took out their phones to record this bizarre and beautiful scene.

Su Woai also slightly parted her cherry lips, captivated by what was before her.

Meijing was slightly surprised. She knew many beautiful sights, but to see flowers blooming on every branch in just a few seconds was truly a wonder.

Jingu took another breath and blew slowly. A strong wind blew by, causing the already heavy branches to tremble. Petals fell from the sky and disappeared into the Kanagawa River, creating the spectacular "cherry blossom stream".

While everyone was captivated by the wondrous sight before them, the shrine maiden reached out and broke off a branch. The branch, now covered in petals, fell into her hand, and with a gentle breath, a new bud began to sprout.

The shrine maiden placed a flower branch in Soga Ai's hair, the girl's slightly shy expression complementing the budding flower.

"I don't have money to buy you anything right now, so let's use a flower branch for now."

"Hmm..." Su Woai took a small step forward and gently pressed her lips to hers.

Unlike the deep and passionate kiss last night, the girl's soft lips only touched lightly before quickly withdrawing.

A brief taste, however small, unexpectedly sparked feelings of affection, adding a touch of sweetness to the heart.

Jingu felt a mix of joy and regret. Although Suga was much more obedient and well-behaved after opening up completely, he inexplicably missed Suga's explosive remarks when they first met.

Just as the two were maintaining this pink, ambiguous atmosphere, gasps suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Amidst the cherry blossoms, several tiny, nascent dolls floated down the Kanagawa River, blending into the sea of ​​flowers and adding to the dreamlike atmosphere.

"The Hina Matsuri is almost here..."

Someone in the crowd spoke up.

The so-called Hina Festival, which originated from the Shangsi Festival of the Great Xia Dynasty, is also called the Girls' Festival. Every year on the third day of the third month in Yingzhou, people make Hina dolls, which are small dolls that float down the river. This act, also known as releasing Hina, is a way to drive away the bad luck of their daughters.

In that case, although Ai isn't his daughter, she's still a minor. Perhaps he should prepare a few avatars for Ai and release them when the time comes.

Ultimately, it's a good omen.

"Do you think these nascent humanoid figures will eventually all drift into the sea along the Kanagawa River?"

Jingu asked casually, but Suga suddenly shook her head.

"No, there is a monster called 'Evil God' at the mouth of the sea in Tokyo. It is said that she collects these baby dolls to absorb their bad luck."

"Evil God?"

Jingu's first thought was that there was a shrine at the mouth of the Tokyo sea where the shrine maidens were responsible for retrieving these baby dolls that drifted away with the river.

However, Soga Ai's words described her as a monster, which made Jingu quite curious.

"Although it is called the God of Calamity, it does not need faith. Instead, it constantly collects misfortune, so it is defined as a monster rather than a god."

Soga explained to the shrine, "It is said that the evil god is a beautiful, doll-like girl who looks like a hinny humanoid and floats on the sea."

Jingu became increasingly interested. He really wanted to see the beautiful girl, who floated on the sea like a doll.

"Ai, don't you think the shrine is a bit too big and we can't handle it all?"

"Huh?" Su Wai still didn't quite understand what the temple meant.

"Should we go and capture this evil spirit to be your shikigami, so that you don't have to work too hard running the shrine all by yourself?"

"No!" Before Jingu could finish speaking, Suga Ai resolutely crossed her arms.

"As for shikigami, I prefer neither female nor male."

After saying that, he glared angrily at the shrine.

"I should never have mentioned this to Lord Jingu. It must have been because you heard the words 'a girl as beautiful as a doll' that you decided to capture her and use her as a doll, right?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Chapter 22 The God of Calamity - The Young One

But Sue's body is far more easily swayed than her words.

No matter how resolute they are when they say it, once they are kissed twice, their heads will become hot and they will lose their ability to think clearly, eventually giving in while in a daze.

However, after the sweet afterglow fades, Suga Ai, having calmed down, will choose to express her dissatisfaction in a silent way because she is powerless to resist the actions of the Shrine.

However, this is not important, because even so, Suga's happiness far outweighs her anger; she simply wants to express her attitude.

The two followed the Kanagawa River towards its mouth. The tiny Hina dolls floated and spun in the water, and sometimes they were unfortunately overturned by a wave and sank to the bottom.
