Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

There have been several incidents of packages being stolen in the past.

Later, the Imperial Palace stopped using express delivery to transport psionic materials.

Chapter 23 The Girl's Excellent Acting Skills

Is that river the Arakawa River?

Haruhiko saw the river shimmering in the sunlight not far away through the car window.

"Yes."

Jiro Nishijima casually explained, "The Arakawa River originates from the Kobu-Shinodake mountain range on the border of Saitama Prefecture, flows south through Edogawa Ward in Tokyo, and then flows into Tokyo Bay."

Are there usually many people by the river?

Haruhiko asked with some curiosity.

"No way, what's so interesting about a river?"

Jiro Nishijima turned his head and glanced around, then let out a soft exclamation, "Why are there so many people today?"

Haruhiko suddenly grabbed the car window instinctively.

Countless murmurs reached his ears.

It was like many people were screaming wildly.

It was too chaotic to hear anything clearly.

"Driver, stop the car."

Haruhiko wasn't attacked by an evil god; rather, it was his title, "Master of Ventriloquism," that was at play.

Its effect is to imitate and understand the language of all animals.

The source of this delirium is a large group of some kind of animal.

The only possible species nearby are fish.

Haruhiko walked towards the Arakawa River and squeezed into the crowd, thus gaining a view of the water.

A variety of fish filled the field of vision.

They swam downstream in panic, as if some terrifying thing was driving them from behind.

Haruhiko calmed down and carefully discerned the sound coming from the fish's lips.

"The spiritual veins have erupted?"

He looked completely stunned.

A spiritual vein is a mountain range formed by the sedimentation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Their condition can be described as extremely stable.

He had never heard of a spiritual vein riot.

Unless someone is causing trouble.

Haruhiko pondered for a moment, then casually snapped a picture and sent it to Hoshino Rin.

He didn't mention the spiritual vein riot, but only that he encountered a strange phenomenon on the road.

Regardless of who did it, Haruhiko's current strength is insufficient to resolve the issue.

We got back on the bus and soon arrived at our destination, Saitama Prefecture.

With the help of the map, Haruhiko found the Utsunomiya family's mansion.

He did not see either Shogo Utsunomiya or Mina Utsunomiya.

Because he has no background or power, he will not receive a grand reception.

After explaining his purpose, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

The transaction was completed in just ten minutes.

One hundred Bright Flame Talismans disappeared, and he obtained one million yen and one thousand sets of first-tier talisman materials.

Not bad, very profitable.

Haruhiko stood on the street, waiting for Nishijima Jiro.

Just then, a flock of birds flew out from the sky.

The sheer number of them is extremely abnormal.

Is an earthquake coming?

The pedestrians nearby were talking about it.

This does indeed resemble the signs of an earthquake.

But Haruhiko can speak bird language.

"Another spiritual vein?"

He subconsciously looked at the mansion in front of him.

In Saitama Prefecture, the most powerful force is undoubtedly the Utsunomiya clan.

Judging from the location of the flock of birds, it should be a nearby spiritual vein.

It might be a spiritual vein controlled by the Utsunomiya clan.

But what exactly are they doing?

Haruhiko thought of the Bright Flame Talisman they urgently needed.

There may be a connection between the two.

However, making spiritual tools does not require spiritual veins.

While he was pondering, Jiro Nishijima's taxi arrived.

Haruhiko got into the car and went home, then his phone vibrated.

It's a message from Hoshino Rin.

"An investigation has revealed anomalies in the seven spiritual veins near the Arakawa River, and the three major organizations are searching for the cause."

so much?

The possibility of it being the Utsunomiya clan is relatively small.

Even though it is one of the eight great families of Kanto, it is not wealthy enough to possess seven spiritual veins.

Haruhiko was thoughtful.

But such a big problem is beyond his ability to solve.

The most urgent task is to enhance our strength.

Spiritual prayer.

Haruhiko had just sat down when he saw Yukihime.

She reached up and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, then knelt on the sofa with her long, beautiful legs, bent down, and crawled toward him.

As she moved, her neckline dropped down, revealing her entire body.

Rich and generous.

Haruhiko glanced at it and immediately remembered those words from his past life.

My pants are moving, I'm done playing.

Yukihime hugged Haruhiko, sniffed, and showed a comfortable expression on her face.

At the same time, she rested her delicate little face on his shoulder.

Is it absorbing yang energy?

Haruhiko thought of what Jinguji Fuyumi had said.

But I felt as if I hadn't been affected at all.

He exhaled, closed his eyes, and began his psychic cultivation.

It's Friday again.

During this period, he mainly attended classes and handled commissioned tasks.

By now, the total psionic energy value has reached 426 points.

Unfortunately, Yukihime's coconut milk was no longer effective.

In game terms, it means that the body developed resistance due to excessive consumption.

Despite this, Yukihime continued to prepare every night without stopping.

Haruhiko did not refuse.

Drinking a glass of fresh milk before bed can help you sleep.

We arrived at the school gate.
