Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

A look of amazement flashed in Haruhiko's eyes.

Every time he sees it, it evokes deep emotions in him.

A body like that shouldn't exist in this world.

But then I thought, if it's a man-made stand-in, then it's indeed understandable.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko greeted him.

"Ah."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood up.

Her height of nearly two meters made her appear quite imposing.

She lowered her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips; this body restored her confidence.

Haruhiko, who was usually unapproachable, was now more than ten centimeters shorter than her.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked.

His tone revealed an undisguised excitement.

"I've already eaten."

Haruhiko was used to her like this.

In summary, the weather cleared up, and she's back to normal.

The body doubles are all fake.

You can't control it.

Let me do it.

Haruhiko looked at the enormous headlights overhead, which were far beyond normal size, and sighed.

"Let's go then."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro reached out and ruffled Haruhiko's hair.

Without giving him a chance to speak, she turned and went into the innermost room.

Inside is a large teleportation array.

The surroundings were filled with all sorts of traps.

Haruhiko followed closely behind Tsuchimikado Mashiro, which saved them from a close call.

If someone were to barge in, they would definitely have to walk out sideways.

the reason is simple.

Teleportation arrays are generally set up in multiple locations.

Some locations were even secrets of the Tsuchimikado clan.

It cannot be used by just anyone.

"When we arrive at the ruins, always stand between me and Mari."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro instructed.

The site has undergone preliminary exploration, and its dangerousness has been determined.

Especially for Haruhiko, who was at the third level, it was a matter of life and death.

However, with two fifth-tier psychics protecting them, there shouldn't be any major problems; it's just like going home.

"I see."

Haruhiko answered immediately.

Others have men on the left and right, but he has women on the left and right.

Such treatment is something you can't miss.

"Don't worry too much."

Tsuchimikado Mari chuckled, leaned down and breathed into his ear, saying, "I will protect you if you are in danger."

Haruhiko's body stiffened slightly.

what's wrong with you?

Getting this intimate, are you out of your mind?

He subconsciously looked at Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

But what greeted him was a dense psychic light that filled his vision.

The teleportation array has been activated.

So, did Tsuchimikado Mashiro notice anything?

Haruhiko closed his eyes.

During his brief spatial journey, he was suddenly startled.

Because of the soft touch coming from my mouth.

It's Tsuchimikado Mari.

Haruhiko recognized her by the scent of the lipstick.

When he opened his eyes again, the feeling had disappeared.

He subconsciously looked at Tsuchimikado Mari.

She licked her lips, her eyes full of provocation.

There was a click.

Haruhiko quickly turned his head and saw that cracks had appeared in the ground beneath Tsuchimikado Mashiro's feet.

There's a problem with the teleportation.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said calmly, "Mari, make a call and have someone come and fix it."

"Fortunately, there were no problems during the transmission."

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at it, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

He felt that something was off about the atmosphere.

Could it be that Tsuchimikado Mashiro discovered it?

But if that's the case, the reaction seems strange.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro didn't say anything more.

She opened the door and walked outside.

"What are you thinking about?"

Tsuchimikado Mari pinched his cheek.

His tone returned to normal.

"Don't do that again, it'll scare people to death."

Haruhiko remarked.

"I'm just helping you improve your mental resilience."

Tsuchimikado Mari ran her finger along the corner of his mouth and said.

"..."

Haruhiko was helpless.

He is currently unsure whether Tsuchimikado Mashiro already knows.

But he could hardly have imagined this scene.

After all, Tsuchimikado Mari is Tsuchimikado Mashiro's shikigami.

What kind of behavior is it to do this?

"He has the desire to steal, but not the courage."

Tsuchimikado Mari pouted and asked, "Don't you have any feelings for Master?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Haruhiko coughed lightly, changing the subject, "Let's go out first, so that Aunt Mashiro won't get suspicious."

Tsuchimikado Mari's lips curled up, and an expression of great interest appeared on her face.

She really wanted to see that scene.

It will be very interesting to see Tsuchimikado Mashiro then.
