Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

A girl who is almost the same height as Tachibana Yui appears.

She was wearing a blue kimono-style yukata, thick glasses, and had a blank expression.

Her black single ponytail was surprisingly long, reaching her ankles.

Her exposed legs were bare of stockings, but her left foot was wrapped in a decorative bandage, and her right thigh had a red leg ring.

She struggled to lift her head, her eyes slightly open as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Mashiro? Are you still alive?"

Chapter 77 Chiyoda

"I've just turned thirty, and I'm still a long way from death."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro shook his head and said.

"Ah, sorry."

The girl looked embarrassed and said, "I slept for too long and I'm a little confused."

Haruhiko was completely bewildered.

What kind of conversation is this?

He couldn't understand.

"Haruhiko."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro lowered her head, her gaze falling on his face, and said, "This is your teacher, Chiyome."

Chiyome?

Haruhiko felt the name sounded familiar, but he didn't think much of it and greeted the teacher, saying, "Hello, teacher, my name is Haruhiko."

"truth."

Chiyome adjusted her glasses and said, "I no longer accept students."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro crouched down, stretched out her hand, and in her palm lay a translucent, crystal-like sphere.

Chiyo's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she were a money-grubber who had seen a mountain of gold.

She snatched the crystal ball, rubbed it back and forth, licked her lips, and said, "Hmm, not bad."

"The Ceremony of Becoming an Apprentice"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro slightly raised her chin and said, "If you accept it, you have to become Haruhiko's teacher."

Chiyo's face showed a conflicted expression.

His gaze shifted back and forth between the crystal ball and Haruhiko.

A few seconds later, she nodded, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Okay."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro smiled faintly and asked, "Aren't you going to invite us in?"

Chiyo's expression returned to normal, looking both sullen and adorable.

"As you wish."

She waved her hand dismissively, turned and went into the living room, where she lay down on the sofa.

"How long has it been since you last cleaned?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked, frowning.

The room was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Only the sofa was clean.

It gives the impression that no one has lived there for several years.

Haruhiko immediately thought of Jinguji Fuyumi.

She acts the same way.

"forget."

Chiyo tilted her head and said with a blank expression.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro sighed, raised her hand, and her spiritual energy exploded like fireworks.

In the blink of an eye, all the dust was stirred up and disappeared outside the door.

Haruhiko blinked.

What kind of spell is this?

Want to learn.

It will definitely be much more convenient to clean the Inari Shrine in the future.

However, he noticed again that Tsuchimikado Mashiro did not chant when casting spells.

Is it related to deities?

"Thank you."

Chiyo shifted her body and lay on her side.

"You're quite tolerant."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro looked at her and said.

"It's nothing to worry about."

Chiyome said calmly, "Perhaps only the day of my death will bring me joy."

"Aren't you in class now?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro promptly skipped the topic.

"No."

Chiyo shook her head and said.

"That's just right."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro pointed at Haruhiko and said, "There is a student who can stretch your muscles so you won't be idle."

"Hmm, it looks delicious."

Chiyo looked Haruhiko up and down and said.

"...?"

Haruhiko was shocked.

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

"Don't scare him."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro quickly said.

"Your attitude is really unexpected."

Chiyome tilted her head and suddenly asked, "Is he your son?"

"No."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro explained, "He is the son of Utsunomiya Yuya."

Chiyo's eyes blinked, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her small face.

After a moment, she seemed to remember, nodded, and said, "I see."

"He just enrolled today and is a freshman."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro gave a brief introduction, saying, "Second-tier priests and spellcasters."

"Come see me after school every day from now on."

Chiyome yawned and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, don't disturb my sleep."

"Thank you."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro got up and walked outside.

Haruhiko followed closely behind.

"This place is called the Garden of No Worries."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at Haruhiko, who was walking alongside her.

Because he used a body double, he, who usually looks tall, appeared very small at this moment.

She suddenly reached out and ruffled his hair.

"Aunt Mashiro?"

Haruhiko looked up at her in confusion.

"nothing."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro smiled and said, "I just want to touch it."
