Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko immediately realized what was happening.

Mount Ōe, the territory of Shuten-dōji.

In Japanese legends, he is one of the three great monsters, and his reputation is formidable.

He is the true Demon King.

He has a group of powerful demons under his command, such as Ibaraki-dōji, Kidōmaru, and Hoshiguma-dōji.

But he was already dead.

During the Heian period, he was killed by the great swordsman Minamoto no Yorimitsu because he was too rampant.

Haruhiko was unaware of the current situation at Mount Ooe.

But why did that magical artifact end up there?

“Mount Oe has now become a mobile trading venue.”

Chiyo continued, "I received information that the spiritual artifact will be auctioned off."

"If it's just an auction, it should be relatively simple, right?"

Haruhiko asked in confusion.

After all, auctions are all about financial resources.

The University of Tokyo, of course, has no shortage of money.

"Only pure yokai are allowed to enter Mount Oe."

Chiyo paused for a moment and then said, "Neither your senior sister nor I can."

"Then let's find a monster we trust."

Haruhiko said subconsciously.

"I have no monsters I can trust."

Chiyo Onna stood up, her little feet dangling in the air, and said, "Moreover, that spiritual artifact is enough to kill me."

"..."

Haruhiko frowned.

This is really troublesome.

But if it were him, he could understand.

After all, they would be entrusting their lives to others.

Just be afraid of everything.

"Then shall I go?"

Suddenly, Haruhiko had a flash of inspiration and asked.

He's actually not afraid of danger at all.

The main advantage is that there are many ways to save one's life.

Especially his permanent title, the player's spawn point.

With the help of game cheats, even the gods couldn't stop him.

At worst, he can just take that magical artifact and run away.

As for his so-called pure demon bloodline, he can transform into a mermaid.

Isn't the Queen of Iso-hime enough?

This is the purest merman.

Of course, the most important thing is that Haruhiko wants to see Mount Oe.

Chiyo was stunned by what she heard.

Even the wobbling little feet stopped.

Her first reaction was, "Why is Haruhiko, a human, getting involved in this?"

But then he thought of his Three Goddess Scepters.

Even she didn't think there was anything wrong with him after he transformed.

"Indeed."

Chiyo's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll let you know after the auction starts."

"Ok."

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

He trusted him so much, even though he had no other monsters he could trust.

How strange.

I don't know what her standards are.

To be honest, knowing that the magical artifact could threaten Chiyome's life, he was still somewhat tempted.

If this were a real game, he would have resorted to any means necessary.

However, after spending so much time together, Haruhiko couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.

"come over."

Chiyo stepped onto the carpet, changed into slippers in the entryway, and entered the courtyard.

Haruhiko stopped in his tracks behind her.

With business concluded, it's time for study.

"Today I will teach you a third-tier spell called Autumn Water Whirlpool."

Chiyo paused for a moment, then began to chant a spell.

Psychic energy shot out from her hands, swirling like water before her.

Almost instantly, a vortex formed, which then generated a tremendous suction force.

Within its reach, flowers, grass, stones, and trees all swirled backward and were swallowed by the vortex.

A continuous series of sounds rang out, and everything that was sucked in was completely pulverized.

The whirlpool stopped, and a pile of dust settled.

Haruhiko nodded to himself.

Its power is quite good.

"Practice on your own."

Chiyome yawned and went back to the living room.

Haruhiko didn't train for too long because he had a sparring session in the afternoon.

Around noon, I decided to leave.

At the school gate, Tsuchimikado Mari was already waiting.

Haruhiko had originally planned to make some third-tier talismans today.

Now, with the Edo Archaeological Bureau's assessment, it is even more imperative.

Furthermore, Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari can also help him replenish his mana, that is, replenish his spiritual energy.

Once it's all used up, it's no big deal.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

He glanced subconsciously at Tsuchimikado Mari's plump thighs.

Wearing black stockings and a bodycon skirt, she possesses an indescribable allure.

Tsuchimikado Mari noticed his gaze, grabbed his hand, and placed it on her thigh.

Haruhiko looked at her in surprise, but she had already started driving.

He hesitated for a moment, then gently stroked it, but quickly moved it away.

His main concern was getting into a car accident.

The red sedan stopped in front of Tachibana Yui's mansion not long after.

"how?"

Tsuchimikado Mari turned to look at him and asked in a flat tone, "So cowardly?"

Haruhiko was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was talking about and fell silent.

I did that for safety reasons!

“Psychological resilience definitely needs improvement.”

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled, took his hand, and pulled it upwards until it disappeared from sight.
