Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

He won't fall for the same trick twice.

Mari Tsuchimikado's lips curled slightly as she placed her hand on the obi (sash) of her kimono and then ripped it open.

Haruhiko's pupils contracted sharply.

All the scenery is laid out before you.

Can't stand it.

It would be the same result no matter who comes.

"come over."

Mari Tsuchimikado stretched out her smooth, fair arm and said.

Haruhiko instinctively stood up and came to her, where he was seized by the future.

He quickly turned his head and looked upstairs.

Are you afraid of being discovered by your owner?

Tsuchimikado chuckled and said, "You're so scared, yet so honest."

"..."

Haruhiko was speechless.

He is indeed a superficial person.

Haruhiko stared into the abyss.

His future was also bleak, plunging him into an abyss.

At this moment, he no longer cared about Tachibana Yui.

Okay, he's a jerk.

As Haruhiko drifted into thought, a faint blush appeared on Tsuchimikado Mari's face.

For her, it was also an indescribable first experience.

But it's quite interesting.

After a long while, Haruhiko sat back down on the sofa.

My legs went numb again.

His gaze remained fixed on the tempting cream cake across from him.

However, I wasn't very interested this time.

Just pure appreciation.

Tsuchimikado Mari picked up her kimono from the ground and walked towards the bathroom.

Haruhiko let out a breath.

I noticed the air wasn't very fresh, so I got up and went upstairs.

After resting for a while, I began making the talismans.

As for the swordsman, he plans to train with Chiyo tomorrow.

His teacher is a genuine fifth-tier swordsman.

Yes, so is my senior, Aizawa Kaoru.

There was a knock on the door.

Haruhiko turned his head and saw Tsuchimikado Mari.

She had just finished showering and was wearing a kimono-style nightgown.

The neckline was slightly open, revealing water droplets between her delicate collarbones.

However, it is evaporating at a very fast rate.

"for you."

Tsuchimikado Mari handed him a book, saying, "I think you need this."

Haruhiko glanced at it subconsciously.

It is a spell from the Divine Word series.

There are three in total.

The third-tier spell, Divine Word: Initial, consumes 1,000 points of spiritual energy. Within one minute, all spells cast will have their casting time reduced by two seconds.

The fourth-tier spell, Divine Word - High Speed, consumes 10,000 points of spiritual energy. Within ten minutes, all spells cast will have their casting time reduced by four seconds.

There is also Divine Words - Divine Messenger, a fifth-tier spell, which cannot be learned for the time being.

Given Haruhiko's current psychic points, he can frequently use Divine Word: Initial, and occasionally use Divine Word: High Speed.

After all, the latter reduces the casting time by four seconds, which means that both first-tier and second-tier spells can be cast instantly.

However, it is worth mentioning that the spells in the Divine Word series are not affected by their own empowerment.

In other words, Divine Word: Initial Six-Second Chant and Divine Word: High-Speed ​​Chant are both available in eight seconds.

The reason why those previous messengers were considered to be divine messengers was because they hadn't even released any divine speech spells.

However, it's not a big problem.

At worst, before the fight, I can find a spot and secretly unleash a divine spell.

"Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and said, "I do need it."

He had originally planned to find Chiyome, but now that Tsuchimikado Mari had come to him, it saved him some time.

As expected of a secretary, she is so thoughtful and considerate.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had just paid a huge sum of several hundred million yen to Tsuchimikado Mari.

For a big boss like him, his secretary should be diligent.

"Call me when you need to replenish your psionic energy."

Tsuchimikado Mari didn't bother him any further, turned around and left, stopping in front of Tachibana Yui's room.

She knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened, revealing Tachibana Yui's stand-in.

"Isn't it just a man?"

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled slightly and asked, "What's there to be shy about?"

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro gritted her teeth, causing her kimono top to ripple.

"No."

Of course, Tsuchimikado Mari would not admit it.

"Hmph, that's best."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro used to trust Tsuchimikado Mari quite a bit.

They are the kind of people you would give your life for.

But ever since she stumbled upon her and Haruhiko's affair, she realized that her shikigami had betrayed her.

They've all learned to lie.

"Besides, what's wrong with that?"

Tsuchimikado Mari smirked and said, "If you see something even more outrageous in the future, are you going to faint again?"

"impossible!"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said subconsciously.

"How about giving it a try?"

Tsuchimikado Mari narrowed her eyes and asked.

"try……"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro immediately shut up.

She suddenly realized that she had almost fallen into her trap.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glared at her, then closed the door.

Mari Tsuchimikado couldn't help but smile.

pity.

I had originally planned to seek benefits for Haruhiko, but I didn't succeed.

For some reason, Tsuchimikado Mari felt more and more that she liked that little guy.
