Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He looked forward to the day he would see her kneeling and begging for a big bone as a reward.

"Let's not talk about this."

Yuki stretched, her white knitted sweater riding up to reveal a section of her fair waist.

Haruhiko couldn't help but glance at it; its curves were beautiful, and it could be described as slender enough to be held in one hand.

"do you happy today?"

Yuki noticed his gaze, a smile playing on her lips, and asked.

"The happiest day ever."

Haruhiko said quite seriously.

"That's good."

Yuki leaned forward and kissed his cheek a few times with her rosy lips, saying, "You'll be even happier in the future."

Haruhiko didn't speak, but instead cut off her next words.

After a moment, Xueji blushed slightly, took a breath, and said, "This won't do. I must be a good girl."

Haruhiko reached out and gently tucked a few stray strands of hair behind his ear.

Yukihime was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "So obedient."

She turned to the side, hugged Qingyan, and held him close in her arms, her face showing happiness and tenderness.

A rich aroma wafts towards you.

After a few minutes, Yukihime finally let go.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Haruhiko looked at her, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked.

"Yes, that's a secret."

Yuki tilted her head and said with a smile.

"secret?"

Haruhiko looked puzzled.

"I was just kidding."

Xue Ji suddenly smiled charmingly, her bulging white knit sweater appearing even fuller, exuding a mature aura.

Haruhiko found her exceptionally attractive today, constantly stirring his emotions.

Perhaps, this is the charm of a true wife.

He suddenly understood Prime Minister Cao.

"The real reason is..."

Yukihime paused for a moment, and seeing Haruhiko's expectant expression, she said, "Yes, I like it."

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised.

I thought she would say something like, "You are my child."

Like it?

Haruhiko examined himself and realized that he also liked Yukihime.

Although it started purely because of her beauty, things gradually changed as we spent more time together.

There's no reason not to like such a wonderful person as Yukihime.

"Turns out I'm quite charming."

Haruhiko joked, "To be able to make a fourth-tier great demon like me."

"She's really charming."

Xue Ji bit her delicate lower pink lips, her eyes filled with tenderness, "I wish I could keep you by my side forever."

"I won't leave you."

Haruhiko felt that this topic was a bit dangerous, but he still answered it seriously.

"I know."

Yukihime immediately revealed a gentle smile.

"There's a question I've been wanting to ask, but I'm afraid it will upset you."

Haruhiko hesitated before speaking.

"You want to ask me about my past, right?"

Yukihime stretched out her finger, poked his face, and asked.

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised, but nodded.

He had talked to Yuki before.

However, it only involved an old snowman.

Yukihime believed this to be his childhood, and thus regarded him as her own child.

Now that the old story has been brought up again, Haruhiko has noticed the change in her.

It was as if the illness was no longer a problem.

"Do you want to know?"

Yukihime gazed at him, her tone quite calm.

"Can I tell you?"

Haruhiko hesitated and asked, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. Let bygones be bygones."

"What others can't do, you can."

Yuki turned around and leaned against his chest.

Haruhiko instinctively reached out and hugged her back to prevent her from falling.

At the same time, his other hand lifted up her black-stockinged legs.

"very nice."

Snow Princess pressed her delicate face against his heart and slowly began to tell a long-ago story.

It's pretty much the same as what Jinguji Fuyuko said, just with more details.

Haruhiko didn't mean to bring up her sad memories; he mainly wanted to confirm her illness.

It now appears that it has indeed recovered.

This is undoubtedly something to be thankful for.

"Give me a few more years, and I'll avenge you."

Haruhiko rested his chin on her smooth forehead and said softly.

"several years?"

Yukihime paused slightly, then said, "I believe you."

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to reach the fifth stage in a few years.

However, in front of Haruhiko, Yuki completely abandoned common sense and expressed mindless belief.

"Let's go back and rest."

Just as Haruhiko was about to speak, Yukihime stood up, grabbed him, and jumped off the torii gate.

Upon arriving at the room, he was immediately pushed into bed, making a strange noise.

Meanwhile, in the room to the left next door, Jinguji Fuyuko silently set up a soundproof barrier.

A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Given her personality, even if Tsuchimikado Mashiro gave her a hint, she would never ask Haruhiko for help.

As for Haruhiko, knowing her personality, he dared not offend her for the time being.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two will maintain a normal relationship for a long time.

Jinguji Fuyumi looked down at her tail, remaining silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the door to the right of the next room opened, and Izumi flew out.

She leaned closer to the door, her face instantly turning bright red.

After a long while, she clenched her teeth, her body becoming somewhat unsettled.

Izumi instinctively stepped forward and bumped into the door.

She immediately turned around and ran away.

Haruhiko didn't hear it.

Yukihime, however, sensed Izumi's presence.
