Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Cat Island is a well-known tourist attraction in Japan.

As the name suggests, it is an island inhabited by many cats, reportedly 50,000.

The Guardian Gem has been used up and is now just an ornamental gem; keeping it is useless. Going to the King of Cat Island would be a better option.

Haruhiko put away the gemstone, frowned, and examined it thoroughly.

It's all jumbled mess, completely worthless.

Just as he was about to leave, Bai Shuang pointed to a certain spot with her tail.

Haruhiko looked at the pile of messy trash, hesitated for two seconds, and then slowly peeled it apart using his spiritual energy.

At the very bottom, he saw a wooden box.

Haruhiko picked it up and washed it in the water again.

He opened the wooden box, but there was nothing inside.

【Name: Inugami Relic】

Status: Sealed.

Haruhiko stroked his chin, recalling the information about Inugami.

Although it is called a god, it is actually a monster.

It is a monster that is the soul of a dog after it dies, also known as the dog god.

In Japanese legends, the Inugami (dog god) is a benevolent yokai (supernatural being) used to protect the safety of the family.

But how do we seal it?

Qingyan's gaze fell on Bai Shuang as he pondered.

After all, it was it that reminded me.

Do you know what it is?

As he asked the question, Qingyan placed the wooden box in front of Baishuang.

It raised its fluffy tail and placed it on the wooden box, and instantly psionic energy surged.

The entire dimly lit space was illuminated.

After Haruhiko got used to it, he noticed that the wooden box was different.

The originally gray wood now resembles white jade, and you can vaguely see water flowing through it, which is quite magical.

He touched the wooden box, and a game notification sound rang out.

【Name: Inugami Relic】

[Rank: Third Rank]

[Effect: Unlocks a key in a certain location.]

Bai Shuang actually knows how to break the seal?

Haruhiko felt increasingly impressed by its competence.

Just then, Bai Shuang raised her forelimbs again and wrote a sentence on the ground.

"It has a location on it."

Haruhiko immediately narrowed his eyes.

Location tracking doesn't refer to any high-tech product, but rather to a tracking-type spell.

In other words, this item may have belonged to someone, but for some reason, it was lost here.

He thought about it and wasn't afraid.

Even if it were a fifth-tier opponent, he could still escape with ease.

Moreover, it was just in time for someone to arrive; he had no idea what the dog god's relic was used for.

"Let's go back."

Haruhiko put away the wooden box.

I had a good harvest today.

This is thanks to the rat demons' habit of collecting miscellaneous items or garbage.

Of course, the biggest contributor is Bai Shuang.

Without it, I would have missed out on the Inugami's relics.

"White Frost".

Once ashore, Haruhiko asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Bai Shuang looked up at him, stared at him, and after a moment, wagged her tail slightly, indicating her refusal.

"There's no rush now. Let me know if you want anything later."

Haruhiko considered himself a master who was fair in rewarding and punishing.

If you have made a contribution in fighting demons, then you should be rewarded.

Besides, Bai Shuang isn't like Izumi, who does nothing but eat and play all day.

Otherwise, you could secretly inhale his scent.

But I haven't seen her make any progress.

How can someone as capable as Bai Shuang?

Haruhiko took out his phone and dialed Tsuchimikado Mari's number.

He planned to go to Cat Island, but it was a bit far, so it would be best if he could have a boat.

You could actually swim across, but it would be troublesome if someone saw you.

Besides, Bai Shuang doesn't like swimming, so we need to take care of her.

"Young master, what is it?"

Tsuchimikado Mari's cool voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mischief, "What? Is there a yokai you can't handle?"

She knew that Haruhiko was working on a commission at this time.

"No, I want to go to Cat Island."

Haruhiko said, "I'm in Tokyo Port, and I need a ship."

"You wait."

Tsuchimikado Mari hung up the phone.

She got up and went to the entryway to change into high heels.

"Mari, are you going out?"

Tachibana Yui appeared in the living room, yawning.

She's been busy setting up traps on the fourth level of the Takamagahara ruins lately, which has left her somewhat sleep-deprived.

"Ah."

Mari Tsuchimikado casually remarked, "It's just some trivial matter; it can be dealt with quickly."

"Come back soon."

Tachibana Yui said without any doubt.

Tsuchimikado Mari turned and left.

Haruhiko and the others remained where they were.

A few minutes passed, and just as he was about to call and urge them, a familiar fragrance wafted over.

White Frost raised its tail, but lowered it again after hearing the words "Young Master".

"Utsunomiya Momoka?"

Haruhiko recognized the beautiful woman.

It left a deep impression on me.

Her unique physique, and her beautiful daughter and niece.

"Young Master, you actually remember me?"

Momoka Utsunomiya stepped forward, took his arm, and said with a touched expression, "You make me so happy."

"..."

Haruhiko felt himself stuck in a spherical object.

At the same time, there is also a rich aroma.

"Why are you here?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow and asked, "Was your master thrown into Tokyo Bay to be sunk?"

He remembered that Momoka Utsunomiya had always said that if she didn't complete the mission, she would be sunk in Tokyo Bay.
