Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"Hurry up and start!"

Shogo Utsunomiya said impatiently, "I don't want to wait even a second longer!"

Ignoring his rude behavior, Yagyu Kensuke uttered a few syllables.

The entire magic circle trembled violently, and countless black light spots shot into the sky and then quickly fell back down, all of them surging into Utsunomiya Shogo's body.

An indescribable pain spread through his limbs, and he screamed in agony.

"Ahhh!"

Utsunomiya Shogo, enraged and embarrassed, yelled, "Damn it! Why does it hurt so much?!"

"I'll leave this to you guys."

Yagyu Kensuke ignored Utsunomiya Shogo.

Because the real dragon-raising ceremony has only just begun.

He drew his katana from his waist and slashed downwards.

A large hole was torn in the original barrier.

He jumped down quickly and disappeared.

"There is indeed a problem."

When Tsuchimikado Mashiro saw Yagyu Kensuke's actions, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

If it's just turning around and leaving, then it's not a big deal.

But he was going down.

Below is a spiritual vein.

"So it was a formation within a formation."

Mari Tsuchimikado calmly said, "The formation above is to conceal the formation below, or rather, it is just a guide."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro nodded slightly.

She didn't speak, but a faint orange light suddenly appeared in her beautiful big eyes.

Haruhiko glanced at it subconsciously.

The orange light gave him a rather strange feeling.

It's like psionic energy, but it's completely different.

Moreover, there is a subtle sense of intimacy.

How is this going?

Under Tsuchimikado Mashiro's gaze, Yagyu Kensuke walked along the spiritual vein for a while before stopping.

An underground hall that shouldn't have appeared appeared.

Mina Utsunomiya and her shikigami, the female tengu, are waiting for Kensuke Yagyu.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned and said, "I'm going underground. You stay here and destroy the array above."

Without waiting for a reply, she had already turned and left.

Haruhiko looked at Tsuchimikado Mari and asked, "Won't Aunt Mashiro be in danger all by herself?"

Although Tsuchimikado Mashiro is a fifth-tier psychic, Utsunomiya Mina is no ordinary person either, and there must be additional arrangements underground.

"She is a substitute."

Mari Tsuchimikado smiled and said, "Besides, as long as we are fast enough, we can provide timely support."

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

The Utsunomiya clan left fourteen people on the ground.

Two fourth-order units and twelve third-order units.

Quite impressive strength.

The fourth tier is a rare existence even among the major families.

Most of them are third-tier psionicists.

But Tsuchimikado Mari is Shiranui, at least at the fourth rank, and maybe even the fifth rank.

It's very easy to manipulate them.

"For your self-defense."

Tsuchimikado Mari casually pulled out an automatic pistol. "I saw that you were a very good shot, so I imbued it with spiritual energy. The twenty bullets have the power of a third-tier spell."

"Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the pistol, feeling a faint burning sensation coming from the magazine.

Since it's an enchantment for Shiranui, it's most likely related to fire.

He couldn't help but sigh that although Tsuchimikado Mari usually seemed a bit aloof, her heart, like her body, was quite warm.

Most importantly, having this pistol gave him a sense of participation, instead of just being a bystander.

"Let's go there."

Tsuchimikado Mari no longer concealed her presence and walked straight towards the magic circle.

"who?"

The two leading fourth-tier psychics immediately noticed Tsuchimikado Mari.

More accurately, a warning was issued from the nearby barrier.

Both of them were fourth-tier psychic beings, and both appeared to be middle-aged men.

They stood on either side of the magic circle in front of it.

"Naoto Utsunomiya, Shinsuke Utsunomiya."

Tsuchimikado Mari said their names in a calm tone.

Her appearance also caught the eyes of the two of them.

"You're Tsuchimikado Mari?!"

Naoto Utsunomiya paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice, his tone one of utter shock.

He was a fourth-tier member, considered a high-ranking member of the Utsunomiya clan, and naturally knew many secrets.

For example, Tsuchimikado Mari, who always follows Tsuchimikado Mashiro, is actually her shikigami.

An incredibly powerful monster.

More importantly, the appearance of Tsuchimikado Mari means that Tsuchimikado Mashiro is nearby.

"This is the spiritual vein of the Utsunomiya clan."

Shinsuke Utsunomiya was calmer than Naoto Utsunomiya. "Please leave."

"As a psionicist, the first ironclad rule is that you must destroy any otherworldly beings you encounter."

Tsuchimikado Mari pointed to Utsunomiya Shogo, who was screaming in agony within the magic circle, and said, "He has a strong aura of otherworldly demons on him."

Shinsuke Utsunomiya's face immediately stiffened.

He forgot about that.

With the activation of the magic circle, one-third of Utsunomiya Shogo's body had already been transformed.

It contained many organs of otherworldly demons.

If successful, Shogo Utsunomiya will possess physical attributes comparable to those of an Otherworldly being, while also being able to cultivate curse magic.

But at this moment, the aura of the otherworldly demon could not be concealed.

"Hold my phone for me."

Tsuchimikado Mari tossed her phone to Haruhiko.

She had already activated the recording function on the Daigosho app.

This means that her intervention was absolutely justified.

Fire shot into the sky.

The heatwave spread outwards from Tsuchimikado Mari.

Lava rolled beneath her fair skin, and her hair flew backward, transforming into flames.

Surrounded by pale blue butterflies, she changed into a red kimono.

Shiranui.

She gracefully extended her hand.

The scorching heat instantly condensed into flames.
