Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

Suga silently took a step forward, standing between the shrine maiden and Tamamo-no-Mae. After a moment of internal struggle, she finally mustered immense courage and spoke.

:

"Ai has changed her mind. Let's kick this woman out. Physical needs... Ai will try her best to satisfy them!"

Even if love requires sacrifice, we can't let this kind of thing happen!

"That's why I'm not that kind of person!"

Jingu and Tamamo-no-Mae both roared in unison, unable to comprehend what Suga had been thinking.

In the end, the shrine maiden chose to be honest about Tamamo-no-Mae, but the tense situation that had been expected did not occur.

"So it's Miss Tamamo-no-Mae. I was rude just now."

Even after learning that the other party was a great monster who had made a name for himself in history, Suga Ai didn't seem nervous or surprised at all.

This made the shrine maiden very curious, and she couldn't help but poke Tamamo-no-Mae, wanting to know how she did it.

Tamamo-no-Mae rolled her eyes at her and tossed out a card, which looked like an ID card and had the words "Yokai Certificate" written on it.

"Do you think the authorities don't know I exist? I'm just a minor spirit with no great abilities. Rather than letting me scheme in the dark, you might as well set me free openly." Tamamo-no-Mae leaned against the edge of the wall, stretched, and revealed her beautiful arched feet beneath her kimono.

"As long as she doesn't go to Nasu-Shiobara City, doesn't leave Japan, and undergoes regular investigations, Ms. Tamamo-no-Mae is free to move around within the territory of Yingzhou." The rest of the statement was added by Suga Ai.

"Of course, one cannot intentionally harm or kill others; in general, it is just a limited freedom."

Suga Ai was packing her things. She certainly hadn't come lightly; for her, this shrine would be her future home, and she was bringing all sorts of daily necessities with her.

"What kind of expression is that? Are you looking down on me?" Tamamo-no-Mae flew into a rage at the unreadable look that the shrine was giving her and kicked him twice.

But bare, tender feet pose absolutely no threat whatsoever; they don't even qualify as a tickle.

"Tamamo-no-Mae is not an exception. In fact, many yokai now have such permits, since many of them do not survive by harming people."

"Ha, they torment and attack humans for survival and power, while you Onmyoji and Shrine Maidens gain fame and fortune from the events they cause. Isn't that what it is?"

Tamamo-no-Mae gave a cold laugh, and with just a few words from her and Soga Ai, she revealed the consensus of the entire mystical world of Yingzhou to the Shrine.

Most demons do not harm human lives. As long as this premise is not met and no major economic losses are caused, it is generally accepted that some humans will be entangled by demons.

"That being said, this consensus does not represent all situations; it is only a part of the story. Most situations are still beyond our control. The more powerful the monster, the more likely it is to abide by this consensus."

Suga Ai solemnly warned the shrine, "The shrine master must also be careful to distinguish which monsters should be killed and which should not."

"Haha..." Jingu chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head. "I'll try my best..."

He seemed to have encountered some on his way to Tokyo, but he didn't pay attention. He shouldn't... be dead, right?

Although Jingu's reaction was a bit strange, Suga didn't pay it any mind and instead asked:

"There's no food at the shrine, so what are we going to eat for dinner? Should I order takeout?"

As she spoke, she had already demonstrated her efficient action by taking out her phone to order takeout, but Su Woai immediately froze.

"Oh no, this is a major crisis."

"Ok?"

"Miss Tamamo-no-Mae, do you have money?" Suga Ai turned her head.

"no."

"Love's living expenses were originally only enough for Love herself, and now Lord Jingu also needs to eat, so I'm sorry."

"No!"

"Besides, since Lady Tamamo-no-Mae is a spirit, she shouldn't need to eat, right?"

On the first day at the shrine, the family's shrine maiden's living expenses were used as the financial expenditure.

Chapter 6 New Mission

After the typhoon that swept through Tokyo ended, sunny days followed.

Jingu leaned back idly on the edge of the shrine and yawned, because there was nothing in the shrine.

Suga Ai still has to go to school, while Tamamo-no-Mae, who is said to be staying behind, is actually quite elusive. She only left a room in the shrine and disappeared today.

For a moment, only Jingu was left in the entire shrine. Although the shrine was tidied up, it was of no use.

However, taking advantage of this time, Jingu opened the system he hadn't looked at before. The mission had been completed since the contract was signed last night, but he hadn't submitted it yet.

After selecting "Submit," the system displayed a line of small text:

【Miyako: Suga Ai】

[Qualification: 96]

[Congratulations on completing the mission: The Foundation of a Secure Life - Part Two]

[Reward: The ability to create something of a higher degree]

Huh? Before Shen Gong could even wonder why his aptitude score was 96, a surge of power welled up within him.

The so-called "Qian" is also "Qiankun". Qian represents heaven and Kun represents earth. The ability to create Qian is the ability to create heaven. Combined with the ability of the "Dragon Lord" of the Divine Palace to summon wind and rain, it is possible to do more things that were previously impossible.

such as

Jingu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. A fierce gale swept across the clouds, pushing the already clear sky to a cloudless state and blowing away all the clouds over Tokyo.

What a beautiful day! The warm and bright weather is just as pleasant as the shrine's mood.

"Ding~"

[All tasks have been completed; new tasks will be automatically assigned.]

[The Mission – The First Step Forward]

[With your shrine and priestess, you've successfully established yourself in this world, but this is only the first step. Your shrine remains untouched, and you are still an unknown figure. Now, go and shake up this city!]

[Mission Requirement: A Reputation Reaching the Entire City of Tokyo]

[Reward: Money Tree x1]

That's great! The shrine is desperately short of money right now. The whole shrine is all alone, and it's too early to expect offerings from worshippers. They can't just live off their own shrine maiden's living expenses every day.

As Jingu continued reading, the system generated two tasks each time.

[Quest - The Worshipping Priestess]

[You have acquired a fine priestess, whose loyalty to you is unwavering. However, she seems to know nothing of fear or faith, and you hold no authority before her. Show her your power, make her kneel at your feet, and praise your name!]

[Task requirement: Get Su to say "You're awesome" from the bottom of her heart]

[Reward: The Divine Treasure of the Sea]

What kind of ridiculous request is this?! Jingu was speechless. "You're amazing? You're making Su Ai submit to you? What the hell?!" He absolutely didn't believe this wasn't some kind of hint.

And why does he claim that Suga Ai's loyalty to him is unwavering, even though he clearly has no faith?

Jingu was a little confused. Perhaps Suga was just the kind of person who would devote herself entirely to someone once she had decided on them.

I tried browsing the system again, but found it to be as rudimentary as ever. No matter how I looked through the Divine Palace, there was nothing else. It was like a heartless task-issuing machine.

After shutting down the system

The shrine fell into deep thought. Su Wa's mission wasn't urgent; he could just give it a try and see if it succeeded or not. The Sea-Stabilizing Treasure wasn't of much significance to him either.

Although he didn't know his true strength, the confidence of a player with cheat codes made Jingu fearless.

On the contrary, the first task needs to be completed as soon as possible. Even with great power, making money is a very troublesome thing if you don't steal or rob.

Although you can attract a lot of "investment" by finding a wealthy and powerful family and showing your influence, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help, and it's better to have a cheat code than to work hard. The more you get involved with others, the harder it is to be free.

So, how can one make a name for themselves throughout Tokyo without causing trouble?

Directing and staging a flood of Edo Castle? Forget it, that would be too much of a test of acting skills and might even attract a mob attack. The risk is too great.

How about performing some extreme stunts atop Tokyo Skytree? Or perhaps create some short videos to give these stuntmen a small, abstract shock?

Forget it, that's too embarrassing. I'd rather think of something practical and down-to-earth to get the task done.

Just as I was getting sleepy, a graceful figure appeared at the torii gate.

Mrs. Nishikata has been very worried lately, for no other reason than that her house seems to have been haunted by some evil spirit again.

Although I had encountered this kind of thing before, after praying at a shrine near my home and having a priest perform an exorcism, everything returned to normal.

But after about six months, the old problem recurred. The shrine near my home had long been abandoned, and the famous shrines were asking for exorbitant prices, so the issue has been delayed until now.

However, yesterday she vaguely heard voices coming from the abandoned shrine, as if people had moved in again, so she came to check early in the morning to see if it was the same people from before.

With a glimmer of hope, Mrs. Nishikata arrived at the shrine. The courtyard was neat and tidy, but it seemed deserted and quiet.

Just as Mrs. Nishikata was about to back down, Jingu appeared in front of her at the right time and greeted her with a smile.

Hello, is there anything I can help you with?

Mrs. Nishikata was startled when the shrine suddenly appeared before her, followed by intense wariness.

The sudden appearance of a handsome young man in such a deserted shrine is extremely strange; if the genders were reversed, it would definitely be a case of possession.

Looking back now, the fact that a shrine could return to normal overnight seems incredibly eerie.

"Miss? Madam? What's wrong?" Jingu was a little confused. Logically speaking, how could such a friendly and handsome young man like him make the other party show such a defensive attitude?

Looking at the other person, I noticed a foul aura lingering between their brows, clearly indicating that they had recently encountered some kind of monster. Could it be that their mind had been affected?

Jingu gently blew a breath towards her, dispelling the foul air between Mrs. Nishikata's brows.

Mrs. Nishikata, who had been feeling unwell, suddenly felt relieved and her mind calmed down, but she became even more flustered.

He blew a breath at himself! Had he been under some kind of mind-bending spell?

Oh no, the other person's face is getting more and more attractive now, and I'm even starting to feel a little attracted to them. This must be some kind of succubus or monster.

Mrs. Nishikata, realizing she couldn't escape his clutches, closed her eyes; she couldn't accept this.

Moreover, the more she looked at the shrine maiden's face, the more she felt that she might actually be getting the better deal.

I might as well just let it go and let this handsome monster eat me, so I won't have to live in fear any longer.

A tear rolled down Mrs. Nishikata's delicate, pretty face.

Jingu looked completely bewildered. "Wait, why are you crying right from the start? What happened to you? Tell me!"
