Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden Author: Ellie's Domesticated Pigeon Spirit

Summary:

　Haruhiko is transported to the demonic Tokyo of the game, beginning his second life.

Her origins are unknown; she was adopted by a shrine maiden from the Inari Shrine, a friend of her mother.

But he unexpectedly discovered that she was not human, but a monster.

It's okay, being pretty isn't a problem.

However, he then realized that his mother's friend was actually someone else.

Chapter 1: My Mother's Friend

What game is more difficult than hell?

"It's reality."

Haruhiko lay on his desk.

It was raining outside the classroom.

Tokyo in July is very hot, and the rain has not made it any cooler.

But his heart was cold, colder than the knife that had been used to kill fish for ten years.

Because he is no longer in the original world.

A moment later, Haruhiko's pocket trembled slightly.

He took out his phone, which only displayed one sentence.

"I'll be waiting for you in the infirmary."

Haruhiko remained silent for a moment, then picked up his schoolbag and walked outside.

Warning signs were posted in the corridor.

"Recently, there have been frequent incidents of student violence. Please do not linger and suspend all club activities."

Haruhiko glanced at it and continued walking forward.

The school clinic was locked.

He knew the way well and climbed in through the window that had been specially left for him.

At this moment, a girl in a school uniform is lying on her side on the sofa.

Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, obscuring half of her delicate face.

Her long, slender, snow-white legs were pressed together, while her calves were slightly apart, revealing her bare feet.

Because they were suspended in mid-air, their small, rounded toes instinctively curled up.

A pair of black stockings were casually placed at the other end.

Hoshino Rin.

Haruhiko's good friend.

The two met in junior high school, and it has been more than six years now.

She is the daughter of Hoshino Aoi, the current chief priest of Izumo Shrine, the largest shrine in Japan.

Japan is a country that values ​​lineage.

The Hoshino clan is a powerful priestly family with over a thousand years of history, so their influence is undeniable.

Moreover, it is far more powerful and unattainable than Japan in the previous life.

Because this Japan is not that Japan.

There were no familiar teachers, only all sorts of random monsters.

This is the world of games, a world with psionic powers.

In his previous life, after Haruhiko completed the first playthrough of the Hell difficulty version of "Tokyo Demon Slayer," a message popped up saying that he could experience a second playthrough, which was even more difficult than Hell difficulty, for free.

He certainly wouldn't miss the chance to get something for free.

The result was time travel.

Moreover, this takes place a thousand years after the first playthrough.

"Does it look good?"

Hoshino Rin opened her eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips.

She sat up straight, her long, white legs extending from under her black pleated skirt.

He picked up the black stockings from the side with his right hand and placed them on his feet.

The nimble big toe curls up slightly, hooks, and then wiggles.

This series of actions created a stark contrast with her innocent-looking face.

"Aren't you afraid the infirmary staff will find out?"

Haruhiko ignored her question.

"I am a priest."

Hoshino Rin moved her lips.

Under the light, her lips shimmered with a moist sheen, appearing quite soft.

Priest.

It is one of the four classes in this game.

In simpler terms, they are magicians.

The other three professions are monk, swordsman, and onmyoji.

These correspond to support, warrior, and summoner roles.

"But I have to remind you, what you're doing is against the rules."

Haruhiko put down his schoolbag and said.

"Arrest me."

Hoshino Rin extended her fair wrist, a faint smile on her face, and said, "If it's Haruhiko-kun, you can punish me however you like."

"You called me here just to make fun of me?"

Haruhiko wasn't in the mood to joke around with her.

Because after traveling through time for so long, he finally received his golden finger.

That is, the game panel.

"No."

Hoshino Rin produced a bento box as if by magic, "Hey, let me feed Haruhiko-kun!"

His tone carried a hint of flippancy and playfulness.

But Haruhiko remained unmoved.

"Haruhiko-kun, failing to awaken your psychic powers is no big deal."

Hoshino Rin looked at him, who remained silent, her smile fading slightly as she became serious.

Psychic awakening.

In gaming terms, it's called job change.

Generally, for senior high school students who have been enrolled for three months, the process will be conducted under the supervision of the school.

Unfortunately, his job change failed.

The reason is simple: time has come, and I have no choice but to change jobs.

When the original owner was eight years old, her mother had no choice but to hand her over to her friend for adoption.

That is, the shrine maiden Miyaji Fuyumi of Aooyama Inari Shrine in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.

Not long after, his mother disappeared completely.

The original owner of this body died because of excessive longing and illness.

After he went online, he lost a lot of his memories, and because of the rule that psionicists could only cultivate at the age of eighteen, he had been waiting.

It didn't work out.

"I am fine."

Haruhiko softened his tone and said, "Just as you said, it's no big deal."

If you fail to change your major, under normal circumstances you can continue to be a regular high school student.
