Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She yawned, pulled her pajamas down to cover her waist and abdomen, and sat up.

"teacher."

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and quickly greeted him.

"Ah."

Chiyo paused for two seconds, then asked, "Has your senior sister left?"

"Sister?"

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and said, "That happened last week."

He couldn't help but be surprised.

Did you sleep for several days in one go?

It's amazing.

"Oh."

Chiyome still had that confused expression. Her gaze fell on Peacock, and she asked, "Did you sign a contract with Qingning?"

"Yes."

Haruhiko nodded in agreement, then asked, "Why does Qingning seem to know me? It's clearly our first time meeting."

"The black peacock feathers retained traces of its previous consciousness, which affected the lime."

Chiyome explained softly, "In other words, it considers you to be one of its own kind."

similar?

Perhaps they are just tools for procreation?

Haruhiko couldn't help but twitch his lips as he recalled his previous meeting with the black peacock.

"It has not fully absorbed the essence of the black peacock feathers; it is currently at the first stage."

Chiyo continued, "Leave it with me for now."

How long will it take for it to be absorbed?

Haruhiko's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of strength will I have after absorbing it?"

"The exact time is uncertain, but it will probably be a few months."

Chiyome pondered for a moment and said, "I should be able to reach the third stage by then."

Haruhiko couldn't help but nod.

The third level is sufficient.

He himself is only at the second level.

Thinking of this, he reached out and touched Qing Ning's back.

Its feathers are quite soft, yet more robust than its hair.

Qing Ning gently rubbed her head against his arm, looking quite affectionate.

Haruhiko was both amused and exasperated.

The way monsters express their emotions is really direct.

A moment later, Haruhiko remembered the purpose of his visit.

He said, "Teacher, I have mastered the Autumn Water Crossing the Sea technique."

Chiyo looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her bright and beautiful eyes.

She suddenly remembered Aizawa Kaoru's question earlier: Is Haruhiko human?

It really doesn't seem quite right.

"I will teach you a new second-tier spell called Autumn Water Pearl."

Chiyo jumped off the sofa, her bare little feet landing on the floor.

She reached out and tightened the bandage on her thigh slightly.

While I was sleeping just now, some of it came loose, revealing the white fish scale pattern inside.

Chiyo began chanting the incantation.

Four seconds later, psionic energy rapidly gathered, forming a semi-transparent protective barrier around her.

The barrier is oval-shaped, tightly enveloping Chiyo, just like a pearl.

It is a defensive spell.

Moreover, it is a rare all-around defense.

Most defensive spells are likely only effective in one aspect.

For example, directly in front of you.

If there are too many people, it will cause the other three sides to be facing the enemy.

In the midst of a chaotic battle, this is extremely disadvantageous.

"Call me if you have any problems."

Chiyo raised her hand and dispelled the barrier, then turned and climbed onto the sofa.

She had her back to Haruhiko, her buttocks slightly raised, but soon she turned around and plopped down on the sofa.

Chiyome adjusted her position and went back to sleep.

A steady breathing pattern came through.

Her upper body rose and fell slightly, but no outline could be seen.

She is almost identical to Tachibana Yui.

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze, went to the courtyard, and began to practice.

Qing Ning watched him quietly from a short distance away.

Four hours later, Haruhiko's spiritual energy was exhausted.

But as a price, he has already mastered most of the Autumn Water Pearl.

Two more days and I'll be able to learn it completely.

He's currently at the second level, so his learning speed for second-level spells will be much faster.

Once you reach the fifth level, you can learn it almost instantly.

In his first playthrough, the character he controlled, Gale, was able to draw on the strengths of various styles precisely because of this reason.

The higher your skill level, the faster you learn.

But other psionicists don't have this advantage.

After Hayate became the greatest swordsman of his time, his swordsmanship was also highly regarded.

But many geniuses spend their entire lives trying to learn even a third of what he taught.

Therefore, even in later generations, Gale is still revered by swordsmen.

"Lime."

Haruhiko looked at the peacock who had been accompanying him and said, "I'll come see you again next time."

Lime nodded.

Although it is at the first level and cannot speak, it can understand human speech.

Haruhiko left the carefree garden and soon arrived at the school gate.

Just as I was about to return to Nanyuan, someone blocked my way.

Standing in front of him was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties.

She was wearing a pink kimono; her appearance wasn't stunning, but she possessed a mature and alluring charm.

At the same time, a rich fragrance lingers in the air.

"Master Haruhiko."

The beautiful woman bowed deeply, at a ninety-degree angle, her head reaching Haruhiko's thigh.

"???"

Haruhiko looked confused.

what's the situation?

How did I become a young master?

and many more.

Could it be Mina Utsunomiya?

If we're talking about young masters, only the Utsunomiya clan fits the bill.

"My name is Utsunomiya Momoka."
