Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Haruhiko returned to Inari Shrine.

"what is this?"

Yuki noticed the black peacock feather in his hand and asked.

"It was dropped by Aunt Dongyu after she purified a vengeful spirit."

Haruhiko sat down next to her and asked, "Do you know what it's for?"

Yuki held his hand with her left hand and picked up the black peacock feather with her right.

Haruhiko then explained the whole story to her.

"It's a newly born monster."

Yukihime said thoughtfully.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

Does it mean a new species?

No wonder the black peacocks sought him out to breed.

It turns out there's only one of its kind in the world.

“I can sense something extraordinary about this feather.”

Yuki placed the black peacock feather in his hand and said, "Keep it safe, it will be very useful."

"Ah."

Haruhiko placed it into his storage ring.

He plans to ask Chiyome or Tachibana Yui.

He was supposed to be looking for Jinguji Tougo, but when he knocked on her door, he was surprised to find she wasn't there.

"Owner."

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Izumi chimed in with a suggestion, "Next time, let's install a computer or TV at the shrine."

"..."

Qingyan glared at her and asked, "With so much time, why don't you cultivate properly?"

Izumi shrank back in fright and plopped down on the sofa, her skirt draped freely, revealing her fair little feet.

She sounded rather hesitant, saying, "I...I've tried..."

Yukihime covered her mouth and smiled, causing the snow mountain to undulate.

Suddenly, Izumi remembered something and immediately took flight.

Not long after, she stopped in front of Haruhiko with four cherries in her hands.

"Master, I just picked them with Lady Yuki!"

Izumi, looking smug and eager to show off, said, "It was delicious!"

Haruhiko glanced at Yukihime, then picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.

The sweet and sour taste spreads throughout the mouth.

[The player consumes a Night Howl Fruit and gains three points of Spirit Energy.]

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

It turned out to be a spiritual fruit.

It was an unexpected bonus.

"how is it going?"

Izumi looked expectant and asked twice.

"tasty."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

Izumi immediately laughed.

She opened her mouth wide and bit into the Night-Singing Fruit, instantly filling her small mouth completely.

"Mmm, so delicious!"

Izumi kicked his little feet excitedly, splashing juice all over his mouth.

"..."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

I ate one, but you ate three.

Who is the master after all?

Fortunately, he still had Yukihime.

There are two there.

And it's even sweeter.

But I'll have to eat it tonight.

After resting for a while, Haruhiko resumed his training.

We can't waste time.

He went into the courtyard and practiced Autumn Water: Broken Waves and Autumn Water: Rebirth.

Yukihime sat on the roof, swinging her beautiful legs in black stockings, her blue eyes fixed on Haruhiko.

Izumi lay beside her, touching his round little belly, his eyes vacant.

She ate too much.

The spirit fruit contains spiritual energy, and she is not a player, but only a first-tier tsukumogami.

After eating a few, I experienced indigestion.

Fortunately, her true form is a sword sheath, so she'll only be uncomfortable for a short while and won't break.

Not long after, Jinguji Fuyumi appeared.

Her wooden clogs made a crisp sound on the roof.

Yukihime immediately turned around and glanced at her.

However, all that could be seen were her long, snow-white legs.

Jinguji Fuyumi, wearing a shrine maiden's outfit, sat down next to her.

"Next time you take him on a commission, remember to bring me along."

Yuki turned to look at Haruhiko and said.

"With me here, there will be no danger."

Jinguji Fuyumi replied in a flat tone.

"I know."

Yuki smiled gently. "I just want to be with him."

Jinguji Fuyu glanced at her, somewhat puzzled.

What is it like?

With a stern face, she asked, "You taught him the Snow Maiden Breathing Technique and gave him Snow Pills, are you trying to make him a Snow Child?"

"Humans are too fragile."

Yukihime twirled a strand of her silvery-white hair with her fingers, a faint blush rising on her face. She said shyly, "His body is not yet able to withstand the demonic form of a great demon."

"..."

Jinguji Fuyumi remained silent.

This was a reason she hadn't considered.

It feels like the Snow Princess of the past is gone forever.

A few seconds later, she disappeared.

Yukihime was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's mine now."

"Master, is your body failing you?"

Izumi and others only dared to speak after Jinguji Fuyumi left.

What did you say?

Yukihime raised an eyebrow.

She stretched out two delicate white fingers, pinched Izumi's body, and then turned her over.

The psionic energy transformed into long whips, falling one after another.
