Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She woke up, but pretended to be asleep.

Is it inappropriate to call her now?

Haruhiko silently put his right arm around her and stroked her head with his left hand before falling into a deep sleep.

Tachibana Yui opened her eyes a crack.

She already knew it was Haruhiko when he went to the wrong door.

But she didn't expose it because of some inexplicable feelings.

She never expected that he would come over just to sleep with her.

Tachibana Yui's face quickly flushed red.

The warm atmosphere around her made her feel uncomfortable, yet she also felt a little nostalgic.

She and Haruhiko had been sleeping very well before.

Tachibana Yui hesitated and closed her eyes again.

Silent all night.

Haruhiko woke up.

He looked down and saw Tachibana Yui biting her finger.

No wonder.

Haruhiko's body trembled slightly, and just as he hesitated, Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly appeared at the door.

She took out her phone and took a picture.

The sound startled Tachibana Yui awake.

She stared at Tsuchimikado Mari for two seconds, then subconsciously licked her lips, her eyes widening in surprise.

Bang.

Tachibana Yui disappeared from Haruhiko's sight at the fastest speed in her life.

"Good morning, little master."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled slightly, stepped forward, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Why are you doing this?"

Haruhiko looked at her, puzzled.

"My master is clueless, let's give her a hand."

Tsuchimikado Mari rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and mumbled something indistinctly.

Haruhiko gasped.

You shikigami!

Tachibana Yui is truly blessed to have you.

Haruhiko looked up at her luscious red lips and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know what to say.

A rare silence fell over the room.

The only sound was the gentle murmur of water outside the window.

Very light.

If Haruhiko hadn't reached the third level, he wouldn't have been able to hear the smacking sound of the water at all.

In the living room not far away.

Tachibana Yui covered her face, looking like a steam princess, constantly emitting heat.

Some people are alive, but she is already dead.

She hadn't expected herself to lose her composure like this.

After a long while, she sat up, somewhat puzzled.

Why haven't the two people come down after an hour?

Tachibana Yui hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed upstairs. After glancing at the room, her face flushed slightly.

She quickly left, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, looked at the milk, and was speechless for a moment.

Why would Shiranui steal food so early in the morning?

No, was that kind of action really appropriate?

Tachibana Yui's fragile heart was deeply shaken at this moment.

She picked up the milk, took a sip, and thought to herself that I definitely couldn't finish it.

Another half hour passed.

Tachibana Yui heard the sound.

She turned her head and saw Tsuchimikado Mari brushing her teeth in the bathroom not far away.

"..."

Tachibana Yui put down the milk and returned to her room.

She doesn't want to see either of them for the time being.

After dinner, Tsuchimikado Mari and Haruhiko went out together to visit the Takamagahara Ruins.

The entrance this time is in Shinjuku Kabukicho.

This wasn't Haruhiko's first time here.

Last time I came here to see Mina Utsunomiya.

But not today.

Mina Utsunomiya has been quite busy lately and hasn't had time to deal with him.

Because of the dire situation facing the Utsunomiya and Yagyu clans, she did everything in her power to protect them.

I have to say, this woman is quite remarkable.

Under these circumstances, it's still a matter of barely supporting them.

Although defeat was only a matter of time, it undoubtedly stabilized a small part of the situation.

This allowed the Utsunomiya and Yagyu clans to survive.

"follow me."

Tsuchimikado Mari's voice brought Haruhiko back to his senses.

The two entered a luxurious hotel.

When a waiter was about to approach, Tsuchimikado Mari gave him a single look, which made him back away in fright.

She opened the elevator door directly.

Qingyan followed behind her obediently, simply following the boss's instructions.

The elevator plummeted downwards.

Just like last time, it was quite a long process.

Finally, the elevator doors opened, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar tunnel.

Mari Tsuchimikado looked around and went out first.

She knew the area very well and quickly led Haruhiko out of the intricate tunnels and into the Edo Underground City.

"Wait."

Mari Tsuchimikado explained, "We are outsiders, and if we enter rashly, we will inevitably be noticed."

Haruhiko let out a soft "Huh?" "Is there such a saying?"

Strictly speaking, however, he is not an outsider; it is Tsuchimikado Mari.

He let out a breath.

I had already gotten used to the rich spiritual energy here.

However, after leaving for a few days and returning, I still felt slightly unwell.

But the impact is not big.

After a short wait, Takahashi Kisaragi appeared in front of the two of them.

"Mauri-sama."

She bowed respectfully, and after receiving a nod of response from Tsuchimikado Mari, she looked at Haruhiko and said, "Young Master."

"Captain Kisaragi, you're too kind."

Haruhiko quickly waved his hand and said.

"follow me."
