Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"It'll be ready soon."

As she spoke, Yuki scooped up the ramen and put it into the bowl.

She turned around, took off her apron, and then pulled Qingyan into her arms.

"We'll go eat in a bit."

Yuki gently stroked his hair, a tender smile and a faint blush appearing on her face.

On top of her stunning looks, she possessed a touch of allure and the charm of a married woman.

After a long while, Haruhiko stepped back halfway, licked his lips, picked up the ramen, and walked towards the living room.

After eating, Yuki returned to the kitchen and began washing the dishes.

Just as Haruhiko was about to get his schoolbag, he received a message from Tsuchimikado Mari.

He was told that the ruins of Ame-no-Mikoto had been thoroughly explored, and that he should prepare to go to the ruins of Takamagahara.

If that's the case, it will probably delay things for a few more days.

Haruhiko went to the kitchen with these thoughts in mind.

"what happened?"

Yuki noticed him, somewhat surprised. "What is it?"

"I just received a notification that I need to go to the Takamagahara ruins."

Haruhiko spoke directly.

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ji wasn't too disappointed. "Go ahead and rest for a couple of days. When you come back, I'll give you a check-up."

"..."

Haruhiko's body trembled.

Your examination was absolutely horrific.

With only a few days' worth of savings, I really didn't dare to be too reckless.

After washing the dishes, Yukihime and Haruhiko arrived at the door.

She knelt down, just like a virtuous wife and loving mother, and put his shoes on.

"You're really going to turn me into a useless person."

Haruhiko looked at her silver hair and couldn't help but say something.

"That's perfect, saves you from running around everywhere."

Yuki stood up, touched his head, and smiled, revealing two rows of neat pearly teeth.

Haruhiko immediately sensed a dangerous aura.

If he were to stay by Yukihime's side every day, he would definitely die.

By then, they'll be skin and bones, with no chance to even beg for mercy.

"I wouldn't be that cruel."

Yukihime seemed to see through his thoughts. She leaned forward, bit his ear, then slid her hand across his face, and finally silenced him with a kiss.

Haruhiko could only silently endure this farewell kiss.

A few minutes later, Yuki let go of her hand and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Haruhiko nodded and turned to leave.

He attended classes as usual in the morning.

After class, I explained the situation to Kaoru Aizawa.

Because it involved the Edo Archaeological Bureau, she readily agreed to his request for leave and told him to be careful.

School gate.

Haruhiko looked around and quickly spotted Tsuchimikado Mari's red sedan.

He stepped forward and paused slightly.

There was no one in the driver's seat; Tsuchimikado Mari sat in the passenger seat.

what's the situation?

Who's driving?

Haruhiko suppressed his doubts and greeted her, "Mari-neechan."

"Ah."

Tsuchimikado Mari was still wearing that same women's suit and pencil skirt. "You drive."

"me?"

Haruhiko pointed to himself, and only after receiving her confirmation did he sit in the driver's seat.

"I'll be giving you a lesson today."

Tsuchimikado Mari shifted her position and rested her head on his lap.

"..."

Haruhiko's eyes widened suddenly.

Playing like that could cause a car accident.

Tsuchimikado Mari raised her eyes, a smug smile appearing on her lips.

Haruhiko gritted his teeth. Since it was class, he had no choice but to face it head-on.

Given his personality, he would never be a coward.

Haruhiko ignored Tsuchimikado Mari's provocation and began to focus on driving.

I have to say, luxury cars are really something else.

The car that Yukihime bought for him was quite expensive, but it was nowhere near as good as the one he has now.

Regardless of the road conditions, the ride was very smooth.

It also has semi-automatic driver assistance functions.

This prevented Haruhiko from getting into a car accident due to Tsuchimikado Mari's harassment.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at Tachibana Yui's mansion.

But the lesson was not over.

Haruhiko frowned, observing his surroundings, afraid that someone might come over.

However, he was lucky; the area was quite quiet.

To be more precise, Tachibana Yui's mansion was originally quite secluded and quiet.

After a long while, Tsuchimikado Mari stretched, straightened up, casually opened a bottle of beverage, and gulped down water.

She swallowed the entire half-bottle of beverage from her pale, delicate neck and throat.

"Drive the car to the underground parking garage."

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at Haruhiko, who was somewhat dazed, and gave him a faint smile.

"Oh."

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and started the car again.

The underground parking garage isn't far; we'll get there quickly.

He fastened his belt and got out of the driver's seat.

When going to see Tachibana Yui, one naturally needs to pay attention to one's appearance.

"You should use the main gate."

Mari Tsuchimikado wiped her mouth and said, "I'm going to touch up my lipstick."

"Ah."

Haruhiko left the underground parking garage and returned to the front door.

He took out his keys, took off his shoes, and went straight into the living room.

Tachibana Yui leaned back on the sofa, seemingly resting with her eyes closed.

She noticed the noise and opened her eyes.

But soon, her pupils contracted.

Haruhiko quickly stepped forward and reached out with both hands to rub her head.

This is revenge.

She used a body double for the past two days, but today she finally used her real body.

Tachibana Yui realized what was happening, her cheeks puffed out, revealing two small fangs, and she glared at Haruhiko.
