Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Are you going to practice later?

Haruhiko asked casually while taking a bite of his bread.

"Ah."

Xue Ji nodded and said, "Reaching the fifth rank sooner will allow me to protect you better."

"After reaching the fifth stage, will your demonic body advance further?"

Haruhiko realized there was a serious problem.

He and Tsuchimikado Mari have yet to achieve a final physical and emotional connection.

That's very likely the reason.

He could not withstand the terrifying flames.

"It does."

Xue Ji rested her chin on her hands and said with a smile, "So you have to work hard to cultivate, otherwise you'll only be able to see it but not be able to eat it."

"..."

Haruhiko opened his mouth.

Thank you for giving me the motivation to cultivate myself.

Hey, these days, it's not easy to be a kept man.

"I was lying to you."

Yuki stood up, sat down next to him, leaned closer, and said, "You are now the same kind as me, nothing will change."

similar?

Haruhiko understood.

It refers to his practice of the Snow Woman Breathing Technique.

That makes sense; people of the same kind certainly don't have as many restrictions.

In other words, even after Yukihime advances to the fifth rank, she will remain the same.

Haruhiko looked at her face so close to his, lowered his head, and took a bite.

Yukihime's icy blue eyes were somewhat unfocused as she responded softly.

A moment later, the two separated.

"Your punishment for lying to me."

Haruhiko gave a soft snort and said.

"If this is the punishment, you'll be easily fooled in the future."

Yukihime licked her lips, her tone extremely seductive.

"..."

Haruhiko discovered that Yukihime, like Tsuchimikado Mari, was very difficult to deal with.

To avoid being late for school today, he switched to bread and milk for his breakfast.

A few minutes later, Yuki put away the dishes and went into the kitchen.

"Izumi."

Haruhiko stood up, looked at Izumi on the sofa, and said, "Give me my knife."

Izumi slightly opened his mouth, and a flash of spiritual energy appeared as the Red Phoenix appeared.

Haruhiko stepped forward, glanced at it, and saw that there were no foreign objects on the blade.

He sheathed his sword, walked to the door, and began to put on his shoes.

"Come back soon."

Soon, Yuki arrived, carrying her schoolbag.

As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted his head.

Haruhiko nodded.

He took the schoolbag, his gaze sweeping from Xueji's stunning face, over her bulging vest, and down to her belly button that rose and fell with her breath.

It is truly perfect in every way.

"What? Did I do something wrong?"

Yuki looked at her clothes with a puzzled expression.

"That's not right."

Haruhiko casually remarked, "It's a bit too beautiful."

"Grumpy."

Xue Ji rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.

She stepped forward and gave Qingyan a stern verbal reprimand before letting him leave.

The weather is nice and quite clear today.

Combined with the intermittent winter winds, it creates a refreshing and invigorating feeling.

Haruhiko walked along the road, feeling relaxed and happy.

However, he soon stopped.

Under the tree, a girl dressed as a shrine maiden was quietly watching her.

Hotaru Hoshino.

Haruhiko recognized her.

The main thing is that she had a cold face, and it was obvious that she wasn't Hoshino Rin.

While he was slightly taken aback, Hoshino Hotaru walked up to him.

She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed herself against him.

Haruhiko's mouth was covered, and he began to communicate with Hoshino Hotaru through lip reading.

A few minutes later, the two stopped.

"It has a woman's fragrance."

Hotaru Hoshino took a slight breath and her lips moved.

Haruhiko suddenly remembered the verbal instruction Yukihime had given him before he left.

His heart stopped; was he about to face a bloodbath?

It's mainly about Hotaru Hoshino's personality.

He felt like the kind of person who could pull out a knife without batting an eye and stab someone.

Thankfully it wasn't on the rooftop.

Haruhiko observed her carefully.

Doesn't seem angry?

"Brother-in-law, you're such a womanizer."

Hotaru Hoshino noticed his gaze and spoke silently.

Haruhiko felt a little embarrassed.

His mental fortitude was ultimately lacking.

"I do not mind."

Hotaru Hoshino kissed him on the lips again and said, "As long as I like my brother-in-law, that's enough."

For some reason, Haruhiko sensed something was amiss.

He hesitated before asking, "Why?"

Hotaru Hoshino didn't speak, she just looked at him.

Haruhiko suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This sister-in-law is definitely hiding something from him.

He reached out and patted her on the bottom.

"I'll teach you a lesson next time."

Haruhiko glared at her and said.

Hotaru Hoshino lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed.

She took that hand and placed it inside her shrine maiden robes.

"..."

Haruhiko was speechless.
