Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

By this time, quite a few dishes had already been laid out.

A variety of fragrances filled the air.

"Eat."

Tsuchimikado Mari brought over bowls and chopsticks and distributed them to the two of them.

"Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko glanced at her and saw that she had changed her clothes, and immediately realized that she had used her demon form in the kitchen.

Dishes stir-fried with the demonic fire of Shiranui are truly delicious.

After finishing his meal, Haruhiko began practicing the Yuki-onna Breathing Technique.

He couldn't waste any time, and was now being extra diligent because of the pressure from the two powerful demons.

Tachibana Yui sat on the sofa, but occasionally stole a glance at Haruhiko.

The main thing is that the movements and postures are quite interesting.

After washing the dishes, Tsuchimikado Mari appeared in the hall.

She knew the Snow Woman's breathing technique.

Looking at Haruhiko, she suddenly licked her red lips.

I'm a little hungry.

"Haruhiko, how about I teach you a spell?"

Mari Tsuchimikado asked the question.

"sure."

Haruhiko, of course, accepted all comers.

Besides, how could the spells taught by a fifth-tier demon be bad?

Tsuchimikado Mari squatted down and, under his curious gaze, touched his forehead with her finger.

A flood of information rushed into my head.

【Fisherman's Song at Night (Upgradeable): Special skill, a prerequisite skill for Shiranui's innate divine power, used to control the body's internal temperature.】

[Note: There are five levels in total. After reaching level five, the player will unlock a fixed supernatural power, allowing them to freely manipulate flames.]

Haruhiko was stunned; it was another prerequisite for supernatural abilities.

Previously, Yukihime taught Yuki-onna: Absolute Zero, which was also a prerequisite for the supernatural power.

However, the two evolved into supernatural powers in different ways.

The former requires waiting until level 5, while the latter requires waiting until the Snow Maiden's form awakens.

So why isn't there a Shiranui Demon Body?

Is it because she was born at the fifth level? Does she not need training?

In this world, there are two kinds of monsters.

One type lives in groups, and the other lives alone.

Putting aside personality, the most likely reason for living alone is poor reproductive ability, essentially being a single heir.

Such as Shiranui.

There is no other one besides Tsuchimikado Mari.

The Yuki-onna (snow women) are different; they can become a race.

Can I learn it?

Mari Tsuchimikado asked with some anticipation.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for humans to learn this.

To be more precise, not only humans, but also everyone except Shiranui should not learn this skill.

Because this is an innate supernatural ability.

It is a supernatural power that one is born with.

Because she hadn't taught Haruhiko before, Tsuchimikado Mari was convinced he wouldn't be able to learn it.

But now that he's already at the third level of the Snow Woman Breathing Technique, it wouldn't hurt to let him try.

"can."

Haruhiko nodded and then closed his eyes.

The Fisherman's Song at Night is actually somewhat similar to the Snow Woman's Breathing Technique; both are applied to the human body.

It cannot be used before it has reached a high level of proficiency.

Mari Tsuchimikado raised an eyebrow.

She reached out and placed her hand on his face, and could clearly feel the temperature of his body rising.

The normal human body temperature is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius.

A temperature above 37.3 degrees Celsius is considered a fever.

At this time, Haruhiko's body temperature had reached 39 degrees Celsius, which was a high fever.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, he noticed that his body was trying to accept it.

Tsuchimikado Mari withdrew her hand and turned her head to meet the gaze of Tachibana Yui, who was leaning against the back of the sofa.

She immediately turned around, sat up straight, and stared intently at the television, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"interesting."

Tsuchimikado Mari chuckled softly, it was unclear whether she was referring to Haruhiko or Tachibana Yui.

The night is getting darker.

Haruhiko opened his eyes.

The cultivation of Fisherman's Song at Night was easier than he had imagined, and it was quite similar to meditation.

However, the Snow Woman Breathing Technique requires a lot of movements, so it's quite tiring.

The television in the living room was turned off.

Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari are not there.

Haruhiko got up, went to the bathroom, and took a shower.

Without Yukihime's help, I feel a little out of sorts.

Speaking of which, if it were Tachibana Yui's true form, perhaps he could experience the largest bath bomb.

"Mari-neechan".

After leaving the bathroom, Haruhiko saw Tsuchimikado Mari in the hallway.

She stood in front of her room, wearing a kimono nightgown, looking rather languid.

"How's your cultivation going?"

Tsuchimikado Mari raised her hand, snapped her fingers, and asked.

"It went pretty smoothly."

Haruhiko glanced at her fair and slender fingers, somewhat puzzled, wondering what snapping her fingers meant.

How many hundreds of millions of lives do you want to kill?

But just as he was looking forward to it, Tsuchimikado Mari closed the door.

Haruhiko made a move.

It seems there won't be the guidance he was hoping for tonight.

He walked to his room and pushed open the door.

The lights are off.

Haruhiko didn't pay any attention, yawned, and crawled into bed.

"...?"

He looked at Tachibana Yui in his arms and fell into deep thought.

who am I?Where am i?

Haruhiko suddenly felt a jolt in his body as the familiar scenery before him changed.

He finally realized what Tsuchimikado Mari's snap of the fingers meant.

What's happening here?

Assisted by Mari Tsuchimikado.

Haruhiko started to speak but stopped.

He had already noticed that Tachibana Yui's petite body was slightly stiff.
