Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Mina Utsunomiya followed him out of the bathroom.

"I'll go back to eat."

Haruhiko shook his head.

He didn't want to find a reason to lie to Yuki.

Mina Utsunomiya responded.

She took the shoes from the shoe cabinet, knelt down, and helped him put them on.

Because she had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, and there were water droplets on her snow-white skin.

Haruhiko looked down to admire it.

If she weren't a bad woman, he thought Mina Utsunomiya would be a great wife and mother.

"Master, is there anything else I can do?"

Mina Utsunomiya looked up and asked.

"Go blow-dry your hair yourself."

Haruhiko stood up, pinched her cheek, and said, "Thank you for today."

Utsunomiya Mina was stunned.

After he left, she chuckled and said, "This personality is beyond my expectations, but it's fine too."

Haruhiko was walking down the street when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He raised an eyebrow.

This notification sound is exclusive to the DaYuSuo software.

Haruhiko opened his phone and found it was a third-tier commission from the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

As mentioned above, a murder case occurred in Kanagawa Prefecture, which borders Tokyo, involving a probationary staff member of the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Send Haruhiko to investigate and see if he can catch the culprit.

The reason for assigning the task to him is twofold: firstly, he recently advanced to the third tier, and secondly, he is on the ground, which makes things more convenient for him.

In return, you can choose a Tier 3 spiritual tool or a spiritual energy material.

Haruhiko naturally wouldn't let such a good thing pass him by.

He just happened to advance to the fourth level, which also required seven kinds of materials.

Oh, and by the way, you can bring White Frost along.

Haruhiko had some doubts about it because of what had happened before.

But after observing for so long, nothing unusual has been found.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that he hasn't taken on any commissions during this period.

They're just too busy.

Haruhiko returned home at six o'clock in the afternoon.

As the door opened, Yukihime appeared, wearing a sports vest.

"Welcome home."

She stretched out her arms as she spoke.

Haruhiko immediately stepped forward and threw himself into her arms.

No worse than Utsunomiya Mina.

It should be said that it's better.

Because she is a Yuki-onna (snow woman) clan member, her touch is different.

"I'm sweaty."

Yukihime clearly hadn't expected his intimate gesture.

I thought it would be a simple hug.

"It's ok."

Haruhiko said in a muffled voice.

Mina Utsunomiya has good lung capacity, and so does he.

Yukihime trembled slightly and said nothing more.

Her face was gentle as she softly stroked his head.

A moment later, Haruhiko released his grip.

He glanced at her and asked, "Are you cultivating? Did I disturb you?"

Yukihime shook her head and said, "It's nothing serious."

She closed the door as she spoke, then helped him take off his shoes.

The two people walked into the living room.

"I went to cook."

Yuki glanced at the time but didn't change her clothes.

Her fair and smooth skin was exposed, and her graceful swan neck and delicate collarbone were faintly covered with sweat.

But it's not off-putting; on the contrary, it's quite tempting.

Haruhiko grabbed her arm, and under her questioning gaze, leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.

Yukihime's face immediately lit up with a smile.

She touched Haruhiko's hair and said, "I'm just going to cook, I'm not leaving."

Haruhiko released his grip and said, "It's because you're too beautiful."

Xue Ji rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.

She turned and headed to the kitchen.

Haruhiko turned to look at Bai Shuang.

The man and the fox stared at each other.

He sensed something odd about Bai Shuang's gaze.

"White Frost".

Haruhiko spoke up, "There's a request tomorrow, how about you come with me?"

Before Bai Shuang could answer, He Quan flew to his side.

With her hands on her hips, she looked at him with displeasure and asked, "Master, what about me?"

Qing Ning raised her head without speaking, but her eyes conveyed her feelings.

It wants to go too.

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

Too many women are bad for your health, but I didn't expect too many demons to be involved, which is also a dilemma.

However, it's unnecessary to bring them all along for a Tier 3 mission.

Besides, there's not much Izumi and Qingning can do to help.

"I'll take you there next time."

Haruhiko took out the Crimson Phoenix Sword and handed it to Izumi, saying, "Your role is not to fight."

Izumi pouted, stomped her foot, and still chose to obediently listen.

As for lime, needless to say, it won't disobey.

Qingyan looked at Baishuang again and found its gaze to be very strange.

It carried a hint of disdain, but also something else entirely.

Haruhiko felt a little awkward being stared at.

Wait, why should I feel guilty?

"are you going?"

Haruhiko coughed lightly and asked.

Bai Shuang nodded slightly, which was taken as agreement.

"Okay, you'll come out with me tomorrow morning."

Haruhiko paused, then asked, "I have a question. You should be at the third level, right? Why can't you speak human language?"

Although the monsters' ability to speak human language varies, they are often already at the third level.

Bai Shuang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and hesitated in her heart.

Not speaking means they don't want to reveal anything.
