Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Must be intentional!

He kept his eyes straight ahead as he massaged her shoulders.

Have you studied massage?

Tsuchimikado Mari gradually relaxed and asked.

"No."

Haruhiko shook his head in reply.

"You're self-taught; your massage skills are pretty good."

Tsuchimikado Mari pointed with her finger and said, "Let's go somewhere else. This is where we're most tired today."

Haruhiko then noticed her long, voluptuous legs.

He hesitated for a moment, then half-squatted in front of her, his hands roaming over her legs.

Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly took off her women's suit jacket, revealing a white shirt underneath.

Haruhiko noticed her movement and glanced at her.

It was clearly a shirt, but on her, it became a bodysuit.

This made him wonder if the fabric was of good quality enough to withstand the strain.

"And here."

Tsuchimikado Mari rolled up her tight-fitting bodycon skirt slightly.

Haruhiko immediately did as instructed.

The soft, fleshy legs he massaged quickly regained their shape.

Tsuchimikado Mari looked at him and smiled.

But they didn't push their luck any further.

"Okay."

A few minutes later, Tsuchimikado Mari hooked his chin with her finger, then leaned down and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Let's continue studying."

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and sat back down in his seat.

The after-class guidance session ended at 12:30.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat."

Tsuchimikado Mari stood up, put on her women's suit jacket, and stroked his face at the same time.

This set of movements was so fluid and graceful, it was as if she were some kind of yakuza queen.

Haruhiko couldn't refuse.

After leaving the teaching building, we arrived at the school parking lot.

He spotted Tsuchimikado Mari's bright red sedan at a glance.

It's truly eye-catching.

He quite consciously sat in the passenger seat.

"What to eat?"

"I asked as I drove," said Tsuchimikado Mari.

"It will be all right."

Haruhiko said casually.

Tsuchimikado Mari remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Not long after, the two arrived at a Western restaurant.

It was steak.

It's alright, though.

Haruhiko is indeed not very picky.

And the taste is not bad.

He glanced at the price and understood why it was so good—it was relatively expensive.

"Are you used to the food?"

Mari Tsuchimikado gracefully cut her steak with a knife and fork.

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "Mari-neechan, thank you for your hospitality."

"It's nothing expensive."

Mari Tsuchimikado said calmly, "My older sister is rich."

Another rich woman!

Haruhiko suddenly remembered that she was the real idol of singing.

Tachibana Yui would definitely not withhold her payment.

Even if it's split 50/50, it's still a huge fortune.

"If you need money, you can come to me."

Mari Tsuchimikado said casually, "You don't need to pay me back."

This sounds a lot like being kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby.

Haruhiko smiled and said, "Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Lunch is finished.

Tsuchimikado Mari escorted Haruhiko to the entrance of the South Garden.

"See you tomorrow."

Haruhiko stood by the car window and waved.

During this time, he has to study composition with Tsuchimikado Mari, which is why he said "see you tomorrow".

Tsuchimikado Mari beckoned to him.

Haruhiko stepped forward in confusion.

"Don't tell the master about this; it's a secret between the two of us."

Tsuchimikado Mari bit his ear, exhaling hot breath, and said, "Otherwise, she'll get angry."

The red car drove away.

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze, looking completely bewildered.

what is this?

The shikigami betrayed its master and hooked up with someone else?

Haruhiko returned home.

The afternoons are for tutoring.

He reviewed all the lessons he had missed last week and gained a general understanding.

Night falls.

After dinner, Haruhiko started looking for commissions.

He planned to continue developing his relationship with Bai Shuang so that he could eventually acquire a decent demon-taming beast.

Considering its previous demonstrated strength, Haruhiko decided to choose a third-tier request.

Meanwhile, just in case, he chose the seaside as the location.

"This is good; it addresses the rat infestation in Tokyo Bay and Tokyo Port."

Haruhiko glanced at the contents and then nodded.

It is said that a group of rat demons were entrenched in the port, stealing things from passersby.

As mentioned above, these rats are fast runners, have multiple burrows, and are very cunning; their true lair has never been discovered.

White frost is quite suitable because it can play a significant role in perception.

Moreover, the abundance of rat demons also means that Haruhiko will gain more spiritual energy.

"Bai Shuang, come with me to do the commission tomorrow afternoon."

After accepting the commission, Haruhiko looked at Shirai on the sofa.

It nodded slightly in agreement.

My main concern is that he might pinch his own tail.

I'll feel bad for a long time then.

In fact, it is protected by psychic energy on ordinary days, so no one can actually touch its tail.
