I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Seeing her manor transformed into ruins resembling a battlefield from a war movie, Shizuru Imano remained silent, her lips pursed. She might know many people in the manor, but a few days ago, she had lost many of her close acquaintances. Having witnessed her father's ruthless side, the blonde beauty now seemed to have matured ten years, her emotions consisting of nothing but a trace of sadness in her eyes.

However, after leaving the manor where they were searching for the remaining enemies and sorting out the spoils of war with several elite soldiers, Shizuru Imano could no longer control her emotions when she saw a familiar figure outside with blond hair and a great figure!

"elder sister?!"

When Shizuru Imano saw that familiar figure, she almost thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes. Then she cried out in surprise and ran straight to the person, hugging her older sister Setsuna Imano.

"Quiet flow!"

Facing her own younger sister, Setsuna Imano's expression was also somewhat complicated. She reached out and hugged Shizuru Imano. After they had been embracing for more than ten seconds, she put a finger in front of her sister's lips to signal her not to speak. Then she looked at an elite soldier wearing a commander's armband beside her and asked directly, "Now, can you state your demands?"

Just a day earlier, Setsuna Imano was recovering from her injuries and secretly gathering her strength, preparing to put on a show of filial piety for her father who had attacked first. However, she was immediately surrounded and captured by Shadow Soldiers and Elite Soldiers.

Even though the Shadow Soldiers and Elite Soldiers received orders and did not actually kill Setsuna Kino and her few loyal followers, Setsuna Kino and her subordinates still suffered a crushing defeat. Even Setsuna Kino, who had a treasured sword inlaid with a fragment of the Killing Stone, was forced to surrender after only a few minutes of resistance.

To be fair, Setsuna Imano is no less talented than Yomi Isayama. At just over 18 years old, she was able to fight against an A-rank evil spirit head-on with her treasured sword. However, she is still made of flesh and blood and is naturally not immune to many attacks. She originally thought she was doomed, but to her surprise, the elite soldiers politely took her to watch the live war spectacle at the headquarters of the Forbidden Spell Path.

At this moment, Setsuna Kinno understood that the other party must have a purpose in keeping her and her sister together. She hoped to know the other party's offer. As for refusing or resisting, she was not so naive as to do so as to refuse or resist. She knew that even if she refused or resisted, her fate would be miserable.

Upon hearing Setsuna's words, the elite soldier serving as the temporary commander smiled slightly. His loyalty, maxed out thanks to the [Seed of the Extraordinary], was very polite as he addressed Setsuna and Shizuru:

"Don't worry, ladies, this is a good thing for you..."

Chapter 24 New Dragon Leaf Shrine

Li Mo's goal was naturally to subdue the entire [Forbidden Spell Path]. He gathered information on the sisters, Setsuna and Shizuru, who appeared in the "Ga-Rei" storyline, and thought they were quite good, so he planned to bring them to his side for training. He even planned to focus on training Setsuna.

After all, Shizuru Imano, one of the female protagonists in the original Ga-Rei anime, is a genius comparable to Kagura Tsuchimiya. As for her older sister Setsuna Imano, she goes without saying that at the beginning of the Ga-Rei main story timeline, she had already killed her own father, achieving the milestone of being a filial daughter. She then became the new head of the Forbidden Spell Path and arranged for her younger sister to go to Japan to collect the fragments of the Sesshoseki in an attempt to obtain the legendary power of the Nine-Tailed Fox from the Japanese transcendent world.

For an ordinary person, there would be absolutely no good impression of Setsuna Imano. After all, she was a filial daughter who killed her own father, which proved that she was by no means a weak girl. Moreover, she had become the leader of the evil supernatural organization [Forbidden Spell Path]. Ordinary supernatural beings would not be taken seriously by her at all.

But for Li Mo, could even the most evil supernatural organization surpass him?

It's important to know that the memories and powers of Li Mo from different worlds are shared. Apart from those Li Mos whose actions weren't too outrageous, some Li Mos are ruthless emperors who have left behind millions or even tens of millions of corpses, some are behind-the-scenes manipulators of brutal wars, and some are reckless and unrestrained. Compared to the [Forbidden Spell Path], that's really a good boy.

Even in the original anime and manga storyline of "Ga-Rei," the "Forbidden Spell Path" at its peak is within the scope of evil organizations. At most, it can kill a few hundred or a thousand people at a time, or use captured ordinary people and superhumans to conduct some kind of modification experiment. Compared to the tens of thousands of casualties in a major battle during the war, it is really child's play. Li Mo naturally does not think that Kino Setsuna is worth his concern. In fact, he thinks that if the other party has this ability, it would be a good thing for him.

To be fair, Li Mo doesn't lack capable subordinates, but he doesn't have many superhuman subordinates with the ability and qualifications. Although his relationship with Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei is gradually getting closer, their relationship hasn't reached the point of being truly intimate. Li Mo doesn't have any intention of forcing them at the moment. He's cultivating his own shrine maidens while gradually building relationships, which makes him seem to have a sense of accomplishment in gradually winning over female characters.

As for the "Forbidden Spell Path," Li Mo, who was already well-versed in many things, didn't pay any attention to it at all. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had appeared in the original "Ga-Rei" manga and anime, and had a fragment of the "Sessho-seki" and beautiful female characters like Shizuru Imawano, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all, just like those unlucky guys who were crushed and passed over.

However, Setsuna and Shizuru were relatively well off; the two sisters were put on a plane and quickly headed to Japan. In contrast to the two sisters, who were somewhat worried about their fate, Li Mo was now leisurely preparing for the opening ceremony of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine]!

………………

Ten days later, the newly built shrine, located on the site of the former Dragon Leaf Shrine, stood out conspicuously. Not only did it occupy a hundred times more area than before, but its classical Chinese architectural style was also unique, even in Japan and in China.

Looking at the entire Food Soul Zero world, there are very few classical architects left in Japan, Korea, and China. Japan and Korea may still retain a small part of classical Eastern architectural techniques, while China is almost completely extinct. As for Li Mo, having memories of multiple ancient worlds, it is naturally a trivial matter. He can simply arrange for the Shadow Soldiers to build according to his memories.

In any case, for Li Mo, the Shadow Soldiers were truly all-purpose tools. From killing people to scouting, from cleaning to construction, there was nothing the Shadow Soldiers couldn't do. And most importantly, the Shadow Soldiers would never complain. There was no question of slacking off or demanding higher wages. Li Mo even thought that if capitalists from various countries saw this, they would definitely think that the Shadow Soldiers were the most perfect tools and would wish to immediately bring them into their factories.

In contrast, the selection of the site and the construction materials for the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine] were more troublesome. At least the residents around the original [Dragon Leaf Shrine] had become devout believers, and they were able to handle the land acquisition in just a few days. However, even if they were very wealthy, it would take at least half a month for the various construction materials to gradually arrive. Otherwise, in the eyes of ordinary believers outside, it would be considered a supernatural story.

Fortunately, the seemingly bustling construction of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine] was actually a charade orchestrated by the workers and shadow soldiers. To ordinary people, it appeared as if the shrine had simply spent a large sum of money, with workers working in three shifts around the clock, and the ordering of building materials made the progress seem incredibly fast.

On the third day after the sisters Setsuna and Shizuru arrived in Tokyo, they, along with Miko Yotsuya and Hanako Yurikawa, were completely taken advantage of by Li Mo. Just as they had adjusted their mindset, they witnessed the opening ceremony of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine]!

"The Dragon God has returned! He now protects the new shrine and its worshippers!"

At the opening ceremony of the new shrine, Li Mo, unusually dressed in a suit that seemed to torment the wearer, stood calmly in the center of the main hall of the new shrine, amidst the gazes of tens of thousands of believers and beauties such as Yotsuya Miko, Yurikawa Hana, Imano Setsuna, and Isayama Yomi, and loudly announced.

Wow!

Like a pleasant, soft sound, the hundreds of worshippers in and outside the main hall of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine] seemed to see the [Dragon God] sculpture suddenly brighten up, but upon closer inspection, it was still a dragon-shaped sculpture.

For some unknown reason, the devout believers felt that the Dragon God sculpture gave them a sense of sacred majesty. When they were in the newly built Dragon Leaf Shrine, they felt a special sense of ease and relaxation. This is why ordinary believers felt awe and faith in the Dragon Leaf Shrine. They are not fools and could not sense it, so they naturally discovered the shrine's mysterious existence.

Even in China, if Li Mo were to pull off this stunt, it could create a new religion. Let alone in Japan, where various religions, including the "Shoe Cult," are thriving, the number of followers of the [Dragon Leaf Shrine] has increased exponentially in just over a month. Currently, according to statistics, there are over 50,000 devout believers, and over 200,000 new members. This is no small number in Japan; it's enough to constitute a sizable new religious sect.

It's not that no one objected to the rapid development of the Dragon Leaf Shrine, but these guys were all crushed to dust under the absolute power of the shrine, without even Li Mo noticing. And with Li Mo nominally joining the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office, the development of the Dragon Leaf Shrine was unimpeded. Even without the bonus of the Supernatural Seed, many wealthy Japanese people and officials were willing to worship the Dragon God.

Currently, among the believers who come to the Dragon Leaf Shrine to observe the ceremony, those who are able to enter the main hall or the plaza are either wealthy or noble, or extraordinary individuals of exceptional status. For example, those who are closest to Li Mo are staying in the shrine's main hall.

"...This is the Dragon God enshrined at the shrine!"

In the main hall of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine], Setsuna Imano, dressed in a beautiful red and white shrine maiden outfit, looked up at the [Dragon God] statue, which seemed to radiate endless light when viewed through [Spiritual Vision], and couldn't help but whisper.

Even though Li Mo had completely taken advantage of her, and even bestowed upon her a partner version of the [Seed of the Extraordinary], Setsuna Kiyano still maintained a degree of vigilance and suspicion. This stemmed from her instinctive talent, which allowed her to grow and thrive in the villainous extraordinary organization [Forbidden Spell Path], even threatening her father at one point. Li Mo, however, was indifferent to this. If she were just a naive and innocent pretty girl, he wouldn't mind keeping her by his side as a decorative object. If she had the ability, he wouldn't mind granting her some power.

For Setsuna Imano, she truly hadn't expected that the Dragon Leaf Shrine, a shrine she had never heard of before, would actually have such a powerful deity. This was even more shocking than the power that Li Mo had previously displayed!

"That's right, this is the Dragon God enshrined at the shrine!"

Hearing Setsuna's barely audible sigh, Miko Yotsuya, who was standing at the front, slightly turned her head. Seeing that Setsuna hadn't made any further movements, only letting out a soft sigh, she didn't say much but instead explained to her, and once again reminded all the shrine maidens, "Also, during today's ceremony, please don't do anything impolite, or the Priest and the Dragon God will be angry..."

Yotsuya Miko didn't mention the consequences of Li Mo getting angry with the Dragon God, but Setsuna Imano and the others knew it wouldn't be good. Li Mo might at most use punishment as a form of playful teasing, but what would happen if the Dragon God enshrined at the shrine got angry was something none of the beautiful girls who were shrine maidens knew, nor did they want to know, what the outcome would be.

To put it simply, only those who are unaware of the serious consequences of courting death would do such a thing. If you knew that the person in question was a powerful figure who could easily kill you, or that your courting death would lead to your demise, then the people who would still dare to do it would be extremely rare, if not nonexistent. After all, intelligent beings instinctively seek advantage and avoid harm. Only someone who is truly brainless would recklessly court death and successfully send themselves and their family to their deaths.

Moreover, the beautiful girls such as Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, Tsuchimiya Kagura, Imano Setsuna, and Imano Shizuru are more knowledgeable than Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana. They naturally know that the so-called "gods" in the supernatural world are all spirits. While many of the "gods" worshipped in Japan are benevolent, most are powerful evil spirits. For example, the Tsuchimiya family's spirit beast, Byakuei, is actually called "Dog God" by outsiders.

As for the Dragon God enshrined at the Dragon Leaf Shrine, it was the strongest spirit the girls had ever seen. Even Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, who had witnessed the spirit beast Byakuei, felt that it was far inferior to the Dragon God they now worshipped.

"understand!"

At this moment, Setsuna Imano was naturally not foolish enough to refute. She bowed her head respectfully and replied, then continued to wait in a standard sitting posture without saying anything more. Even her younger sister, Shizuru Imano, was given a look, and she pouted and waited with her sister.

"Get ready, we'll be going on stage in a bit..."

Seeing the beautiful blonde woman, Setsuna Imano, respectfully carrying out her orders without making any further moves, Miko Yotsuya felt a sense of superiority. However, she quickly came to her senses and spoke softly to the other shrine maidens beside her. She heard a tacit but low response from Yomi Isayama and the others.

As the first shrine maiden chosen by Li Mo, Yotsuya Miko became the leader of the shrine maidens, even though she didn't have much more time than the others. Thanks to the unique seniority system in Japan, no one raised any objections!

"Jianzi, you lead the people to begin performing the dance to pray for blessings from the Dragon God!"

At this moment, Li Mo directly called out Yotsuya Miko. He had just completed the procedure of "inviting the god". Now all that was left was for the shrine maiden to offer a blessing dance to the god, and then, according to the general ritual of a Japanese shrine, to announce that the god was happy and the celebration had come to a successful end. It was a very common shrine relocation ritual.

In reality, many small shrines in Japan have forgotten about this ritual because they rarely have the financial resources to build new shrines. They only hire a few high school girls (JKs) to play the role of shrine maidens and perform a blessing dance when they have to grit their teeth and spend money to renovate an old shrine. Whether the blessing dance performed by the temporary JKs is in accordance with the rules, or whether it is simply improvised by the temporary shrine maidens themselves, are all trivial matters. As long as it is passable, even the spectators who come to watch the ceremony will not care.

However, that was a small shrine that didn't receive much attention. Now, the Dragon Leaf Shrine is no longer in its dire state and has become a newly established large shrine. Naturally, there can be no problems with etiquette. Fortunately, Li Mo has already passed on the relevant etiquette of the shrine to Yotsuya Miko and the others using the companion version of the Seed of the Extraordinary. In addition, the girls have also practiced it, so there is no need to worry about any unexpected situations.

As Yotsuya Miko responded, she, along with Yurikawa Hana, Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, Tsuchimiya Kagura, Imano Setsuna, and Imano Shizuru, rose and walked to the main hall plaza. Under the watchful eyes of many believers, they began to dance the Kagura dance to the music played by a band!

……

It must be said that it was quite a sight to behold to see several beautiful girls with outstanding looks dancing the Kagura dance. Moreover, the girls dressed in red and white shrine maiden outfits and wearing gold ornaments, holding Kagura bells as they danced, made them appear even more sacred.

In the main hall plaza of the new [Dragon Leaf Shrine], the audience members who are qualified to watch the dance to pray to the gods are all somewhat familiar with Japanese shrines. They naturally know that in all of Japan, there are not many shrines with real shrine maidens, at least most small shrines do not. The previous situation of [Dragon Leaf Shrine] is not a secret to many people, but no one is foolish enough to try to uncover the shrine's secrets.

A little over a month ago, the Dragon Leaf Shrine wouldn't have been considered a threat by the wealthy and powerful. But now, it boasts over 200,000 followers and has gathered a large number of influential figures from the Tokyo metropolitan area, forming a new force. It's safe to say that no one wants to offend the Dragon Leaf Shrine. Even if some are curious about its sudden rise, a wise person wouldn't rashly offend a shrine that has demonstrated genuine miracles.

As for those who were blinded by profit, they were directly swallowed up by the forces established by Li Mo. The fact that many testers disappeared silently served as a warning to others, and as a result, no one dared to underestimate the Dragon Leaf Shrine. For example, at today's Dragon Leaf Shrine's new opening ceremony, all those present were believers of the Dragon Leaf Shrine or friendly forces.

For them, watching Yotsuya Miko and Isayama Yomi's Kagura dance performance evoked nothing more than a sense of awe at the [Ryuyo Shrine]'s performance. Li Mo also quietly appreciated it, considering it a dance of prayer dedicated to himself!

"The divine being is very satisfied; today's celebration has been a complete success!"

After watching the blessing dance performed by the seven shrine maidens, Li Mo walked straight to the statue in the main hall, bringing the ceremony to a close. As his words fell, the believers around the Dragon Leaf Shrine felt a strange joy.

The experience, which seemed like an illusion, immediately made those who experienced it feel much more comfortable. Believers who had minor ailments in the past found that they were cured without treatment. Overjoyed, they became even more devout to the Dragon God. Having personally experienced the efficacy of the deity, the subsequent prayers from the believers became formulaic. Apart from chatting with Ayame from Jinguji Temple and a few close friends, Li Mo only exchanged polite words with the other guests.

As dusk fell, having bid farewell to all the guests and quieted the shrine, Li Mo stepped into a secluded room. Looking at the seven beautiful young women bowing respectfully before him, he spoke to them with great pleasure:

"OK, everyone did a great job today, and you all successfully completed the exorcism missions of the past few days..."

Chapter 25 The Changing Girls

Li Mo felt that Yotsuya Miko and the others deserved praise for their recent performance, especially Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana. These two beautiful girls, who were originally ordinary people, performed quite well, whether they became shrine maidens or participated in exorcism missions, which surprised Li Mo.

For example, in the most recent exorcism mission that Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana carried out with Isayama Yomi and the others, they were tasked with besieging a sealed mountain god. This mountain god, who used the so-called wish-granting to constantly attract ordinary people and even those with qualifications, secretly tampered with things and then harvested souls, was dealt with by Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana alone. Moreover, the mountain god was estimated to be a powerful earthbound spirit of top-level B-rank, with two victims who had been transformed into fox-headed evil spirits to aid him in his evil deeds. Yet, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana still achieved the final victory, and the two beautiful girls were not even injured.

From this perspective, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana's talents are indeed quite good. In addition, Yotsuya Miko is very serious about studying the duties of a shrine maiden. Li Mo felt that she performed exceptionally well in every aspect, so he naturally intended to cultivate Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, and they gained his trust and attention more and more.

On the other hand, Yomi Isayama, Kagura Tsuchimiya, and Mei Isayama, as extraordinary individuals from a demon-slaying family, already had a much greater advantage than the two ordinary girls, Miko Yotsuya and Hana Yurikawa. However, it wasn't difficult for these three beautiful girls, who were already performing exceptionally well, to improve their strength. But to perform even better than before would be much more difficult.

It's definitely easier for students with an average score of 60 to improve their grades than for students with scores above 85. For example, Isayama Yomi and the others performed quite well, and their relationship became increasingly intimate, which Li Mo found very satisfying.

As for the sisters Setsuna and Shizuru?

Well, it's only been a few days since Setsuna and Shizuru were sent to Li Mo's side. If he hadn't already taken advantage of the two sisters and made them realize that his power was absolutely superior, Li Mo simply didn't believe that the two sisters would be so obedient. Even if he had fused them with the partner version of the [Transcendent Seed], it would still take time to change them.

Today, Setsuna and Shizuru performed quite well, and the two sisters were relatively satisfied with their current lives. Li Mo thought about the fierce competition within the [Forbidden Spell Path] and roughly understood their thoughts!

"Hehe, the God Lord praised us!"

"It's a compliment, but everyone worked very hard, and our teamwork was flawless. It's really great!"

"Mo, what kind of reward do we get?"...

Hearing Li Mo's praise, and knowing that they had a good relationship in private, the girls all seemed very relaxed and at ease, completely unlike their serious expressions when they were in the shrine's main hall. Yurikawa even took the initiative to bring up the matter of rewards for them.

Well, Yurikawa Hana, this energetic and athletic beauty, is genuinely very innocent and straightforward in terms of personality. If Li Mo and Yotsuya Miko hadn't reminded her, and if Isayama Yomi and the others hadn't been watching over her, she probably would have just grabbed Li Mo's arm and acted coquettishly, instead of looking at Li Mo with her big, watery eyes like this. Although her words are very direct, at least they won't make Isayama Yomi and the others think too much.

Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, and Tsuchimiya Kagura were all aware of Yurikawa Hana's naivety and straightforwardness. The three beautiful girls had a very good impression of Yurikawa Hana and Yotsuya Miko. After all, they weren't cunning politicians. The Tsuchimiya and Isayama families wouldn't consider raising offspring with extraordinary talents to become politicians, so they could learn about some underhanded methods and take preventative measures. But for people like Isayama Yomi, their main focus was on the path of cultivating [spiritual power].

At least for the Tsuchimiya and Isayama families, their foundation lies in their status as demon-slaying clans. Powerful superhumans are the core of their prosperity. As for those who choose to go into politics or business, these are collateral descendants without superhuman aptitude. They serve as support for the main family, not as influencers of the main family's decisions.

Of course, the three beautiful girls, Yomi Isayama, Mei Isayama, and Kagura Tsuchimiya, have undergone considerable changes since joining the Dragon Leaf Shrine. Similar to Miko Yotsuya and the others, they have become even more beautiful and powerful. Wearing red and white shrine maiden outfits, they exude a unique aura of holiness and etherealness.

In this regard, Miko Yotsuya and Hana Yurikawa are the most obvious examples. If they were previously rated as 80 to 90 points as beautiful girls, they have now reached at least 95 points. Miko Yotsuya is even being asked by the girls in her class what kind of cosmetics she uses. The two beauties have also received a lot of love letters at their school, but Miko Yotsuya has torn them up and thrown them in the trash can.

In comparison, the changes in appearance of Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, and Tsuchimiya Kagura were not too dramatic. This was because they were already beautiful young girls and didn't use much makeup. In the past, they would only wear light makeup or even no makeup at all. The changes in their partner versions of the "Seed of the Extraordinary" were gradual, and they didn't usually interact with ordinary classmates. Even if they seemed to be getting prettier, other classmates would at most admire them secretly. If they were to actually go up and chat with them, no one would have the courage.

The sisters Setsuna and Shizuru, having only been using the companion version of the [Seed of the Extraordinary] for a few days, were already experiencing subtle changes in themselves every day. This was the most important reason why the two sisters were so obedient in front of Li Mo. As the prospective leader of the [Forbidden Spell Path] and his sister, they naturally knew just how difficult it was to improve the appearance and power of an extraordinary person without any side effects.

Fortunately, aside from being strict when he had to be serious and made the girls perform a blessing dance on stage, Li Mo was very easygoing at other times. For example, Setsuna and Shizuru had already noticed that when they occasionally threw a little tantrum or complained to Li Mo, it wasn't because they were deliberately picking a fight, but because there was a real reason. In those cases, he would act very easygoing and even dote on the girls.

Right now, the seven beautiful girls are outstanding in both appearance and strength. It can be said that even the Tsuchimiya family and the Isayama family are envious. For example, the family of a certain guy who got engaged to Isayama Yomi thinks he has hit the jackpot!

"Haha, Xiaohua and everyone want rewards? No problem! You can all take three days off and go shopping. Each person is allowed a shopping allowance of one million yen!"

Li Mo generously waved his hand at Yurikawa's plea, immediately arranging a holiday and a reward. Then, looking at the cheering girls, his gaze turned serious again, and he directly stated his requirements: "However, you are not allowed to miss your training and practice these next few days. You still need to report to the shrine every day..."

Although Li Mo had no objection to rewarding his bedmate and the beautiful girls who were about to become his bedmates, and was not stingy at all, being too generous might easily arouse the suspicion of Isayama Yomi and the others.

The proverb "Offering favors without a reason usually means there's an ulterior motive" has a similar meaning in Japan. Li Mo's relationship with Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, and Tsuchimiya Kagura is gradually becoming closer, but they haven't crossed that threshold yet. Taking advantage of them occasionally is fine, but going too far would backfire, which is not what Li Mo wants. He prefers to take things slowly and gradually advance his relationship with the three beautiful girls.

As for whether Li Mo would let Isayama Yomi and the others go, the answer is self-evident. Even for the Tsuchimiya and Isayama families, Li Mo helped restore Isayama Naraku's severed arm and freed Tsuchimiya Kagura from the corrosive effects of the Sesshoseki fragments. It can be said that they tacitly accepted Li Mo's pursuit of Isayama Yomi and the others. It's just that Tsuchimiya Kagura and Isayama Naraku are unaware that Li Mo wants all three of them—Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, and Tsuchimiya Kagura—not just one of them.

However, Yomi Isayama was somewhat resistant to Li Mo's intimacy. She had been engaged to Iitsuzu Noriyuki of the Iitsuzu family under the arrangement of her adoptive father. Even though she felt very uncomfortable about the engagement, she did not intend to disobey her adoptive father's wishes. Moreover, even though Li Mo was already close to her, there was still such an obstacle, which made Li Mo more likely to be politely rejected.
