Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"I prepared two copies."

Tsuchimikado Mari shook her head slightly and said, "You all have them."

"Everything?"

When Haruhiko came out of the bathroom, he heard the second half of her sentence and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"New Year's red envelopes".

Tsuchimikado Mari looked up, a slight smile appearing on her cool face. "Do you want it?"

Tachibana Yui pouted.

Why aren't they as gentle with their owner?

But then he thought, perhaps Haruhiko could persuade him.

After all, the two of them knew each other very well.

She was closer to him than she was to Tsuchimikado Mari.

"want!"

Haruhiko nodded without hesitation and said.

Red envelopes are definitely not to be missed.

In my past life, the most enjoyable thing during Chinese New Year was grabbing red envelopes everywhere using my phone.

As for age, that's not a problem.

"...?"

Tachibana Yui paused for a moment, then asked, "You're already nineteen, what do you want a red envelope for?"

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko smiled and asked in return, "Didn't you prepare anything for me?"

"Of course!"

After stammering for two seconds, Tachibana Yui suddenly spoke with righteous indignation.

But in my heart I was already thinking about how to salvage the situation.

Fortunately, there are still two days left, so there's still time.

"Then thank you in advance, Aunt Mashiro."

Haruhiko couldn't help but find her flustered yet adorable appearance amusing.

"You're welcome."

Tachibana Yui rolled her eyes at him.

His expression just now clearly indicated that he was thinking about something offensive again.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had been tricked by Tsuchimikado Mari and Haruhiko together today.

Absolutely abominable!

Tachibana Yui grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she made up an excuse and went upstairs to leave.

Staying here will only mean eating dog food.

Especially Tsuchimikado Mari, whose smug look really made her furious.

She was obviously the one who came first.

She was Haruhiko's aunt, and they had met earlier.

Logically speaking, the two of them should have a good relationship.

As it turned out, the usually aloof Tsuchimikado Mari beat them to it.

But that's not the kind of relationship we're talking about.

After Tachibana Yui left, Tsuchimikado Mari and Haruhiko exchanged a smile.

The two gradually came to terms with each other on this matter.

Haruhiko didn't actually have that mindset.

However, influenced by Tsuchimikado Mari, she also has a slight inclination towards it.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko sat down beside her, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there any progress in the research on the reversed energy of Takamagahara?"

During this time, Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari were at the Nyotengu Ruins.

I just got back today.

If it weren't for the New Year, it probably wouldn't have stopped temporarily.

"The rebellious energy of Takamagahara is the spiritual energy used by the gods, that is, divine power."

Tsuchimikado Mari shook her head slightly and said, "It's not that easy to use it."

"Too."

Haruhiko agreed and placed his hand on her plump thigh.

The black stockings accentuated the curve of her thighs, adding a touch of allure.

"Remember to have the Utsunomiya clan select ten people to join the Tsuchimikado clan's exploration team."

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at his restless hands but did not stop him.

"Oh?"

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He originally thought that the process with the Edo Archaeological Bureau would take some time, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

"Twenty members of the Tsuchimikado clan have arrived."

Mari Tsuchimikado explained, "We'll have Ayaka Tsuchimikado lead the team. You've met her a few times, so she won't seem like a complete stranger."

The image of that person appeared in Haruhiko's mind.

Tsuchimikado Ayaka is a fourth-tier Onmyoji.

With her leading the team, safety is guaranteed.

"Will the others have any objections to the Utsunomiya clan?"

Haruhiko asked with some concern.

"will not."

Tsuchimikado Mari raised her hand and flicked his forehead, saying, "You underestimate me and your Aunt Mashiro. We can still ensure the loyalty of a mere twenty people."

"sorry."

Haruhiko apologizes at the speed of light.

An apology should show...sincerity.

Tsuchimikado Mari licked her lips and said, "Since I have some time, I'll check your recent progress in sorcery."

"..."

Haruhiko was speechless and could only look at her with a deep gaze.

But as a fifth-tier great demon, he wouldn't be bothered by such gazes.

Tsuchimikado Mari grabbed Haruhiko's hand, then picked him up and carried him upstairs.

Not long after, Tachibana Yui couldn't stand the noise anymore.

She set up a soundproof barrier while cursing and swearing.

I won't be able to stay in this house any longer.

Two hours later, Haruhiko left Tsuchimikado Mari's room.

Although he exhausted his savings, he gained psychic powers.

So he began practicing the Snow Woman Breathing Technique to restore his strength.

Time passed quickly, and dusk soon arrived.

Haruhiko met Tsuchimikado Mari again.

She changed into a red kimono.

Standing at the doorway, she resembled a vibrant rose.

She walked forward slowly, her kimono slipping down to reveal her fair shoulders embroidered with butterflies.

Haruhiko was immediately covered by snow.

Psychic energy surged forth, flowing down his throat and outwards.

Unlike the Coconut Sheep Clan, the Shiranui must become pregnant to give birth.

However, fifth-tier monsters have a very low chance of getting pregnant.
