Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

In the evening, after he had dinner, he returned to his room.

Unable to contact the outside world, Haruhiko could only focus on practicing the Yuki-onna Breathing Technique.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As Haruhiko opened his eyes, the game notification sounded.

After practicing the Snow Maiden Breathing Technique for so long, he finally reached the third level.

In other words, his current physical strength is equivalent to that of a third-tier demon body.

Haruhiko took out the magic sword that Aya Aizawa had given him, the Mochizuki Mystic Sword.

This is a third-tier magic sword, and the two spells attached to it are also third-tier.

Theoretically speaking, third-tier demon bodies possess a certain level of defensive power, and some special demons can even physically withstand third-tier spells.

Haruhiko's demon body naturally originated from the Yuki-onna.

The only reference point is Yukihime.

When Yukihime fought against the siblings Suzaku and Yuuki, she used her demon form to withstand their sword attacks.

However, she is at the fourth tier, making her even stronger.

Haruhiko looked at his arm with the Moonlit Sword.

A clear voice sounded.

He was unscathed.

However, this is without using psychic powers or spells.

Haruhiko gritted his teeth and used the skill on the Moonlit Sword, Moon Wheel.

The sword trembled slightly, and a white, moonlight-like sword aura flew out and landed in his arm.

He controlled the Wind Demon Bracelet, so the defense did not trigger automatically.

Haruhiko gasped.

A red welt appeared on his arm.

There was no blood flowing, only pain.

This means he can barely withstand ordinary third-order spells.

Of course, he wouldn't go looking for trouble.

It's a pity that Yukihime isn't here.

Otherwise, Haruhiko could have tested the body's strength even more thoroughly.

That's fine, I'll surprise her when we get back.

As Haruhiko thought about her Coconut Sheep Clan's demonic body, his throat bobbed involuntarily.

Calling her a succubus wouldn't be an exaggeration.

In her past life, succubi were often associated with the image of sheep; those who know, know.

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and began chanting the incantation.

Autumn Waters - Rebirth!

The water flowed over his arm, and the pain subsided.

The cell phone rings.

While communication with the outside world is impossible at the Takamagahara ruins, it is possible inside.

Haruhiko took out his phone and immediately looked astonished.

It's Tsuchimikado Mari.

He then realized that she had arrived at the Takamagahara Ruins.

So, the plan targeting Mina Utsunomiya is about to begin.

He was about to answer the phone when the ringing stopped and there was a knock at the door.

Haruhiko quickly got up and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Tsuchimikado Mari.

"Long time no see, little master."

Tsuchimikado Mari stood in the entryway, locked the door, then pinched Haruhiko's chin and began her verbal lecture.

Haruhiko then casually put his arm around her slender waist and placed his hand on her hip.

She was wearing a classic women's suit and pencil skirt as usual today.

When she leans forward slightly, according to the principle of leverage, her back will curve upwards.

It's certainly not weak when it comes to letting go.

It is soft after all.

After a long while, Tsuchimikado Mari licked her lips and said, "Your strength has increased quite a bit."

Haruhiko was surprised to hear this. "You can tell just from a few kisses?"

A fifth-tier great demon is truly terrifying.

Tsuchimikado Mari let go of his hand and entered the room. She sat on the edge of the bed and crossed her long legs, which were covered in black.

Because she hadn't taken off her shoes, her red high heels were hooked on her toes, swaying back and forth, displaying amazing agility.

"Mari-neechan, when did you arrive?"

Haruhiko stepped forward, took off her high heels, revealing her pink toes peeking out from beneath her black stockings.

"Yes, it just arrived."

Tsuchimikado Mari beckoned with her finger, and Haruhiko took two steps closer. She gently stroked his face and asked, "Are you touched?"

"move."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

How could I not be moved at a time like this?

Would you like to conduct your teaching here?

Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly lifted her foot and stepped on his leg, asking a question.

"think."

Haruhiko spoke the truth.

"It's a pity I didn't have time."

Tsuchimikado Mari curled her lips into a mischievous smile and said, "I have important business to attend to right away, so I can't stay with you."

"..."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

Bad woman, how annoying.

Yukihime is still the best.

"Where is Aunt Mashiro?"

Haruhiko remembered Tachibana Yui and asked, "Didn't she come down?"

"They're here, over at the ruins."

Tsuchimikado Mari leaned close to his ear, her red lips exhaling hot breath, "I secretly came here to see you."

Haruhiko lowered his head slightly, and he could see her collarbone and skin, which looked as white as if they had been coated with cream.

It's simply a feast for the eyes.

“If you are distracted while listening to the teacher, you will be punished.”

Noticing his gaze, Tsuchimikado Mari leaned back, crossed her arms, and said.

"Excuse me."

Haruhiko apologized quickly and said.

"So nice."

Tsuchimikado Mari reached out and pulled him into her arms, saying, "I'll reward you next time."

The feeling of suffocation lasted for two or three seconds.

Haruhiko was finally able to breathe in some fresh air.

He secretly remarked that Tsuchimikado Mari was only slightly inferior to Yukihime.

As for the exact amount, he can test and compare it manually when he has the opportunity in the future.

“Mina Utsunomiya has already led her people to the ruins, and my master and I will arrive shortly there.”

Tsuchimikado Mari regained her cold expression. "Just stay with Kisaragi and wait for the final result."

"I see."
