Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Time quickly passed and a new day arrived.

When he opened his eyes, Yukihime was no longer beside him.

He stared at the familiar ceiling, lost in thought for a moment, before snapping back to reality.

Today is January 1st, so we shouldn't sleep in too much.

Because he still had to see Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari.

Haruhiko got up and changed his clothes.

When he touched his phone, his expression suddenly froze.

There are several messages inside.

They were all sent by Tachibana Yui.

The content gradually became more volatile.

Haruhiko's lips twitched slightly.

I forgot to reply to Tachibana Yui last night.

Knowing her personality, she must have been furious.

Is the first calamity of the year about to strike?

For a moment, Haruhiko hesitated.

Is it too late to reply to her now?

He sighed and did not reply.

Let's talk about it in person later.

What should I say as a reason?

Is it true that Yukihime won first place this year?

Haruhiko put away his phone, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then ate breakfast.

He had already told Yuki last night that he would be visiting Tachibana Yui today, and she agreed.

After all, she is Haruhiko's aunt.

Breakfast was tonkotsu ramen.

After Haruhiko finished eating, he received a message from Tsuchimikado Mari.

She was already waiting outside the door.

Chapter 208. Tachibana Yui's First Kiss

Haruhiko frowned.

He kept thinking about how to reply to Tachibana Yui.

But I can't find a good reason.

After racking his brains to no avail, he simply gave up on thinking about it.

I can just accept Tachibana Yui's punishment.

Anyway, given her personality, there won't be any serious consequences.

Haruhiko put away his phone and prepared to go out.

Because Yukihime was washing the dishes, he planned to wait a few more minutes, say hello, and then leave.

Just then, he saw Jinguji Fuyumi standing in the passageway, her flexible tail swaying back and forth like an arm.

Is she gesturing for him to come over?

Haruhiko paused slightly, a little curious, and stepped forward.

Jinguji Fuyu turned around and walked a few steps to her room.

The door is open.

She walked straight in.

A flash of pink psionic energy appeared, and she returned to human form.

"Aunt Dongyu, is there something you need?"

Haruhiko looked at her and asked with a smile.

Jinguji Fuyu grabbed his arm and pulled him into her embrace.

This was quite unexpected.

Haruhiko hadn't expected this.

Fortunately, there was a soft cushioning pad, so there was no injury.

But he could no longer speak.

He widened his eyes slightly as he watched Jinguji Tougo suddenly launch into a verbal lecture.

That stunningly beautiful face was right in front of me, but it was completely expressionless.

After his initial surprise, Haruhiko could only respond passively.

He instinctively put his arm around her waist.

Even through the kimono, you can still feel the smoothness of her skin.

Previously, he had been quite law-abiding.

But he felt he could be bolder.

Jinguji Fuyumi didn't pay attention to his excessive hands.

She is experiencing human emotions.

But for some reason, she felt it was much weaker than before, not as intense.

After a moment, she thoughtfully released her grip.

Haruhiko did not continue.

Because if it takes too long, Yukihime will notice.

"Aunt Dongyu, what's wrong?"

Haruhiko noticed her expression and couldn't help but ask.

Jinguji Fuyugo did not hide anything and explained the reason.

"That's because you've gotten used to it."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then said.

Jinguji Fuyu's eyes shifted slightly.

Does "habit" mean that the emotion weakens because of repeated occurrences?

But why is Yukihime always able to maintain such enthusiasm?

"Next time, we can try a different approach."

Haruhiko was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Jinguji Fuyumi nodded.

She had no idea what Haruhiko was thinking.

But from her own perspective, since this method wasn't very effective, she decided to try something else.

Various images of Yukihime appeared in Jinguji Fuyumi's mind.

She's considering what to use next.

Seeing her silence, Qingyan felt a little guilty, thinking that she had noticed his thoughts.

But on second thought, it's probably not that likely.

"Aunt Dongyu, please turn back into a white fox."

Several minutes had passed, and Haruhiko worried that Yukihime would appear at any moment.

Jinguji Fuyumi snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, and then transformed back into her fluffy white fox form.

"Aunt Dongyu, I'll discuss this with you when I get back."

Haruhiko patted her head and left the room.

Yukihime just came out of the kitchen.

When she saw Haruhiko, she went up to him and hugged him.

After a moment, she said softly, "Go and come back soon."

Haruhiko kissed her lips, then put on his shoes and opened the door.
