Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She turned her head away and didn't say anything more.

The corners of Haruhiko's mouth curled up slightly.

This is getting more and more interesting.

He thought for a moment and then sent a message to Tsuchimikado Mari.

Not long after, a red car appeared in front of him.

The car window rolled down, revealing that stunning face.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko stepped forward and greeted him.

Did you bring your demon-taming weapon to school today?

Mari Tsuchimikado rolled her eyes at her and asked with some curiosity.

"I went to do a commission."

Haruhiko opened the back door and put the white fox down.

He then sat in the passenger seat.

"went well?"

Mari Tsuchimikado asked casually.

Because it was only a third-tier request, Haruhiko hadn't told her about it beforehand.

There's no need for that.

I never expected it to be a trap set by the snake spirit.

"It wasn't very smooth, but the gains were significant."

Haruhiko said with a light laugh.

"What's the catch?"

Mari Tsuchimikado noticed his expression and said, "You seem to be in a good mood."

"I was captured by the Serpent Spirit and taken to the ruins of Takamagahara."

Haruhiko turned to look at her and said.

"what?"

Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly stopped the car.

Haruhiko briefly recounted the events that had transpired.

However, Jinguji Fuyugo was omitted.

He just said he was lucky to escape.

"The guy who doesn't know how to live or die!"

Tsuchimikado Mari's eyebrows furrowed, and her face suddenly darkened.

This time, the snake spirit's actions completely enraged her.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko reached out and gently stroked her soft face, saying with a smile, "You don't look pretty when you're angry."

"From now on, you'll come with me whenever we go out."

Tsuchimikado Mari held his hand tightly, ignoring his teasing, and said.

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten the ring you gave me? I haven't even used it yet."

Tsuchimikado Mari stared at him without saying a word.

The next moment, she leaned in, their lips met, and she launched into a stern verbal lecture.

Haruhiko was speechless, bearing the brunt of her anger.

He believed that if it weren't for the white fox, it wouldn't have been just a simple kiss.

He might have difficulty getting off the bus normally.

Jinguji Fuyu looked up at them, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

What does kissing actually feel like?

Why do Tsuchimikado Mari and Yuki both like her?

Jinguji Fuyumi fell into a daze.

After a long while, Haruhiko was finally able to breathe fresh air.

“If this happens again, I won’t listen to you.”

Tsuchimikado Mari turned her head and said in a calm tone.

The red car restarted.

Haruhiko licked the corner of his mouth.

Hmm, it also smells like lipstick.

He looked at Tsuchimikado Mari.

Beneath that cold profile were pale red lips.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko said with a smile, "You need to touch up your lipstick."

Marie Tsuchimikado rolled her eyes at him.

The tension finally disappeared.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.

The red sedan quickly arrived in front of Tachibana Yui's mansion.

"You fix it for me."

Mari Tsuchimikado took out a lipstick and said.

"Let me try."

Haruhiko looked at her thin, soft lips and raised his hand.

He didn't know how to apply lipstick, but being a third-tier demon body, he had good control and his hands didn't shake.

"Okay."

Haruhiko returned the lipstick to her.

"good."

Tsuchimikado Mari took out her makeup mirror, glanced at it, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't bring your demon-taming items in."

Haruhiko was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the reason.

The true form of Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

He got out of the car, went to the back seat, and picked up Jinguji Fuyumi.

The white fox was quiet and well-behaved in his arms.

After Tsuchimikado Mari went to the underground parking garage, Haruhiko said, "Aunt Fuyumi, I'll have to trouble you to go back by yourself first."

Jinguji Fuyumi jumped to the ground, gave no reply, and turned to walk away.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko opened the door, took off his shoes, and went into the living room.

"Why is it so early today?"

Tachibana Yui straightened up, looked at her, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"not yet."

Haruhiko sat opposite her and said, "I did a request today."

He then recounted the story again.

Tachibana Yui immediately jumped off the sofa and ran to him in an instant.

"Are you hurt?"

She reached out and touched his head.

A surge of spiritual energy coursed through the air.

"..."

Haruhiko suspected she was doing it on purpose, so he ruffled her hair a few times.

"I'm checking you out!"
