Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Chiyo is sleeping.

While Haruhiko hesitated, she opened her eyes.

As a fifth-tier psionicist, it's impossible for anyone to get close to him, and he's still unaware of it.

This also means that she hadn't actually paid attention to it before.

"teacher."

Haruhiko cut to the chase and asked, "Qingning is already at the second stage. What will happen if I take her away?"

"It has some impact."

Chiyome replied, "The progress will be slower, but it's not a big problem. We can just come over every now and then."

"Thank you, Lady Chiyo."

"I'll speak first," said Qingning.

Compared to Izumi, it appears more composed.

But not as cold as Bai Shuang.

"Teacher, could you help me replenish my spiritual energy?"

Seeing that Qingning's matter was settled, Qingyan continued to ask questions.

He recovered through meditation, but it was a slow process.

Now that Tsuchimikado Mari is not here, we can only trouble Chiyome.

Chiyo nodded slightly, then flicked her finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered his forehead.

It was replenished very quickly.

Haruhiko thought to himself that Tsuchimikado Mari's method of replenishing magic was indeed problematic.

She was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.

cough cough.

However, Haruhiko was very generous and let her take it as she pleased.

"Thank you, teacher."

Haruhiko turned and left, continuing his practice in the courtyard.

Lime stood not far away, observing quietly.

But it wasn't that he was doing nothing.

She is absorbing the essence of the black peacock feathers.

Haruhiko watched with great envy.

This way of getting stronger is really awesome.

You can become stronger without doing anything.

However, such monsters often present a problem.

That means insufficient reproductive capacity.

It's even worse than having only one heir.

By 3 p.m., Haruhiko had once again exhausted his spiritual energy.

But he didn't intend to continue; instead, he prepared to leave.

Haruhiko greeted Chiyome and, with Aono in tow, arrived at the school gate.

Because it cannot transform into human form and retains the appearance of a peacock, it has attracted a lot of attention.

If we walk back, it'll probably make the news.

Haruhiko took out his phone and sent a message to Tsuchimikado Mari.

Not long after, the familiar red sedan came into view.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko opened the back door of the car.

Seeing this, Qing Ning jumped up.

"Your demon-controlling ability?"

Mari Tsuchimikado raised an eyebrow, looked at it carefully, and said, "Quite interesting."

Does "interesting" mean "unusual"?

Haruhiko knew that the fifth rank had very high standards.

But since limes have an extraordinary origin, it's not surprising.

"It is my demon-taming weapon."

Haruhiko closed the door, then sat down in the passenger seat and said, "It's still early, let's go to Aunt Mashiro's house."

Tsuchimikado Mari nodded slightly.

The red car drove away and eventually stopped in the underground parking garage.

Previously, she would leave Haruhiko at the entrance and then come to park the car herself.

But after using up my lipstick in the car the last two times, I've gotten used to it.

Although thanks to the presence of lime, Tsuchimikado Mari managed to keep her lipstick this time.

Haruhiko could only express his regret.

Actually, his own brother really likes lipstick.

Tsuchimikado Mari got out of the car, glanced at Haruhiko, parted her red lips slightly, and said, "We'll have class later."

Haruhiko opened his mouth, wanting to ask, "Do you have mind-reading abilities?"

No wonder she's his psychological counselor; she really understands people.

After leaving the underground parking garage, we arrived at the main entrance.

Haruhiko took out his key and opened the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Tachibana Yui stood up, took two steps, and then stopped.

Her face flushed slightly.

The scenes from yesterday linger in my mind.

Especially Haruhiko's health.

Tachibana Yui took a deep breath and sat back down on the sofa.

She crossed her legs, her little feet turned outwards, revealing her fair and tender soles.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko glanced at it and had only one feeling: cute.

It's the kind of cuteness that makes you unable to have any bad intentions.

Perhaps this is why he and Tsuchimikado Mari became closer.

If it were Tachibana Yui's stand-in, Haruhiko felt he couldn't handle it.

"Ah."

Tachibana Yui feigned composure and calmly asked, "How is your swordsmanship?"

"It went pretty smoothly."

Haruhiko said with a smile, "I have to thank Aunt Mashiro for finding me a teacher back then."

"You're welcome, I was just making the introduction."

Tachibana Yui coughed lightly and said.

She hadn't actually thought of that.

The main reasons for finding a teacher for Haruhiko were safety and his identity.

That's why Chiyo was chosen.

But in reality, as she said, the success was thanks to Haruhiko.

Chiyo took him on as a disciple simply because she valued his talent.

"When did you all become so polite?"

Mari Tsuchimikado looked around and asked.

Go get some water.

Tachibana Yui immediately straightened her face and said.

She has not yet forgiven the shikigami that betrayed her.

"What do you want to drink?"
