Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

If I go back looking like this, Hoshino Rin will definitely be suspicious.

Hotaru Hoshino sat obediently on the small stool for fishing, her eyes slightly narrowed, her joy clearly visible.

Although his face still didn't show much expression.

A moment later, Haruhiko put away the towel and said, "Hurry back."

Hotaru Hoshino calmly got up, took his hand, and walked towards the camp.

The remnants of the campfire are still visible.

However, the moonlight is very bright tonight, and you can see it clearly even in the wild.

There weren't many stars, though.

"He's back."

Hoshino Rin did not seem suspicious just because the two of them were together.

This piqued Haruhiko's curiosity.

What reason did Hotaru Hoshino give?

But never mind, I'm too lazy to investigate further.

He was frightened a lot today; it's time for him to take a good rest.

After telling Hoshino Rin, he returned to his tent.

The bedding and sheets were already laid out, and they were all brand new.

Haruhiko couldn't help but think that although Hoshino Rin was a rich girl, she would really be a good wife and mother.

He crawled into bed, but didn't sleep.

After all, given Hoshino Hotaru's personality, she would definitely sneak in in the middle of the night.

To avoid falling asleep and losing something important, he felt it was better to stay awake.

Haruhiko took out his phone.

It was already 10 o'clock.

I wonder if Tachibana Yui is asleep yet?

He thought about sending a message to Tsuchimikado Mari.

"what's up?"

Almost instantly.

Haruhiko wondered if powerful demons didn't need to sleep.

"Is Aunt Mashiro asleep?"

"I've already drifted off to sleep."

Tsuchimikado Mari paused, then asked, "Do you want me to take a picture for you secretly?"

"Need not!"

Haruhiko's lips twitched.

That's a crime, don't you understand?

One day, I will bring you to justice!

"So you miss me?"

Mari Tsuchimikado asked again.

"think."

Haruhiko typed directly.

Whether you want to or not, you have to answer like this.

"Is there any action from Mina Utsunomiya's side?"

Haruhiko quickly changed the subject.

I have a feeling this is dangerous.

Moreover, he couldn't defeat a fifth-tier demon, so he let her have a turn first.

"Have."

Mari Tsuchimikado said, "We've been investigating the Tsuchimikado clan recently, and we've even bribed quite a few people."

"There's a traitor?"

Haruhiko immediately looked surprised.

"normal."

Tsuchimikado Mari typed calmly, "People die for wealth, birds die for food; humans ultimately have weaknesses."

"Does it have any impact?"

Haruhiko asked with some concern.

He didn't want anything to happen to Tachibana Yui.

After all, that would mean one less rich woman.

"On the contrary, it will strengthen Mina Utsunomiya's resolve even more."

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback by Tsuchimikado Mari's answer, but he quickly understood.

He even suspected that these traitors were arranged by Tachibana Yui.

This was all to make Mina Utsunomiya believe it.

The brief chat ended.

Haruhiko sent another message to Yukihime.

Not long after, my phone vibrated.

It's a video chat invitation.

Haruhiko answered.

What came into view was Yukihime lying in bed.

She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.

That's Haruhiko's favorite expression.

His throat involuntarily began to move.

"Sleep well!"

Haruhiko snapped out of his reverie and spoke earnestly.

I can't sleep without you.

Yuki smiled and lifted the sheet again, revealing her graceful body, especially her two long legs crossed together.

Haruhiko recalled the torment he had suffered in the past, which made him even more dizzy and lightheaded.

"Are you at Izumo Shrine?"

Yuki noticed his expression and was quite satisfied, but soon became a little puzzled, "Why are you staying in a tent?"

"I went on a picnic with Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru."

Haruhiko explained casually.

"That's it."

Xue Ji chuckled softly, her rosy lips moving slightly as she teased, "I thought you'd been kicked out."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

But after being interrupted like this, the surging feeling of blood and qi gradually subsided.

"Okay."

Xueji snorted and said, "I'm not watching anymore. If I watch any more, I won't be able to sleep. Remember to come back early tomorrow."

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded.

The video call ends.

He suddenly felt a little bored.

Hotaru Hoshino hasn't come over yet.

She'll most likely have to wait until her sister falls asleep.

Haruhiko closed his eyes and simply began to cultivate.

Without Yukihime, the speed of spiritual energy absorption has slowed down considerably.

It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
