Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

As a player, I don't know if I'll be able to get out.

However, these are all things that happened later.

Let's take care of Japan first.

After dinner, Haruhiko once again declined Aizawa Aya's invitation to dance and returned to his room.

He had originally planned to continue his training, but then he received a message from Hoshino Hotaru.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Practice."

Haruhiko typed, "Is there something you need?"

"Help me choose some clothes."

Hotaru Hoshino picked up her phone and started taking selfies.

Haruhiko fell silent as he looked at the photos that had been sent to him.

You're causing trouble!

Suppressing his churning blood, he guided Hoshino Hotaru to change her clothes.

"I need to start cultivating now, talk to you next time."

Haruhiko put away his phone, sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, and gradually lowered his head.

A new day has arrived.

Destination reached.

It was on the sea.

There's a small island nearby with a dilapidated lighthouse.

The four people disembarked and came to the lighthouse.

Kaoru Aizawa opened the door, checked it over, and said, "There's no one here, and no trace of psychic energy."

Chiyome nodded, gazing at the lighthouse with a look of reminiscence on her face.

The other three people exchanged glances, basically confirming that she had been here before.

Unsurprisingly, there's a story behind it.

Chapter 141 The Magical Conch Shell

Chiyome changed her clothes because she was going out.

It's a white casual autumn outfit.

Wearing it, she looks like an adorable elementary school student.

She looked at the lighthouse and fell silent.

Aizawa Kaoru hesitated for a moment, then, without disturbing him, began to tell Haruhiko about the discovery of the ruins.

About two months ago, a ship belonging to the Imperial Palace was passing through this area when it was hit by a storm and lost all contact.

Soon, the Imperial Palace sent people to investigate, but unexpectedly found no residue.

From the people to the ships, everything seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This situation is clearly abnormal.

After a week-long investigation, they discovered the body of a merman on the lighthouse.

To be more precise, because so much time had passed, only a few pieces of bone remained.

Based on this situation, the Imperial Palace determined that the so-called storm was actually an accidental activation of the underwater ruins' mechanism and spell.

After all these years, anything can happen.

“I used to live in a lighthouse for a period of time.”

A dozen minutes later, Chiyome finally returned to normal and spoke.

Is this the lighthouse?

Kaoru Aizawa tried to recall, but found that she had no recollection of it.

This indicates that this incident occurred before Chiyome met him.

She knew her teacher was immortal, so she wasn't surprised.

"I am not sure."

Chiyo shook her head and said, "During that time, I was in a daze and was in a state of unconsciousness all day long."

Kaoru Aizawa's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She's a fifth-tier psionicist, how could she possibly be in a state of unconsciousness?

Unless it's a story from much earlier times.

How many years ago was that?

After a moment of digestion, Aizawa Kaoru said, "In any case, we'll find out once we enter the ruins."

Upon hearing this, Aya Aizawa clapped her hands and said, "Then let's get ready to go into the sea!"

Her tone was excited, and her face was full of eagerness.

Every historical site offers some reward, more or less.

With a bit of luck, you might just soar to great heights.

Of course, there is another reason, which is to complete the task given by Chiyome.

"Just the few of us?"

Haruhiko looked at her as she took out four diving suits and couldn't help but ask.

"Two fifth-tier individuals and one fourth-tier individual, is there anyone else needed?"

Aya Aizawa asked as she put on her wetsuit.

"Too."

Haruhiko nodded.

Quality over quantity.

But he quickly realized that Aya Aizawa had mentioned Chiyome, Kaoru Aizawa, and herself, but had not mentioned him.

Doesn't the second tier mean they're not psionicists?

Haruhiko complained as he changed into the heavy diving suit.

He thought for a moment and then began chanting a spell.

Priest/Spiritual Body!

Psionic energy surged forth, covering the skin's surface with a thin protective film.

He immediately felt much lighter.

Aya Aizawa noticed the psychic reaction and glanced at him.

A smile appeared on her face as she said, "You're a little weak, little brother."

Haruhiko was somewhat speechless, and retorted, "You are swordsmen, while I am a priest."

Chiyome, needless to say, is not only a swordswoman but also a great demon, so her physical abilities are naturally the strongest.

Kaoru Aizawa is a fifth-tier swordsman, while Aya Aizawa is a fourth-tier swordsman.

He was already stronger than priests or onmyoji of the same rank.

However, it's not noticeable when wearing clothes.

If I were to show it off, it would definitely be the kind of display of various muscles.

"Even though you're a priest, you still need to exercise regularly."

Aya Aizawa raised an eyebrow and extended a fencing invitation, "Come to my place sometime when you're free, let me take a look."

Haruhiko ignored her teasing and turned on the earphones inside his helmet.

Immediately, the breathing of the other three people could be clearly heard.

The quality is pretty good.

It's clearly a high-end product.

In fact, Haruhiko, who is known as the "darling of the sea," does not need a diving suit.

Unless attacked by magic, he is virtually immortal in the sea.

But he couldn't explain it.
