Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Tsuchimikado Mari shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower. I don't feel well at all."

"you you you!"

Tachibana Yui was so angry that her body was trembling.

Tsuchimikado Mari's smile widened.

She waved and walked towards the bathroom.

Tachibana Yui clenched her fist.

The blush on her face had spread to her ears, and her pink skin looked very cute.

Haruhiko hadn't finished showering when Tsuchimikado Mari entered.

Tachibana Yui could naturally guess what would happen.

Her heart was pounding.

The more I think about it, the more exciting it seems...

Tachibana Yui trembled and immediately went upstairs back to her room.

In fact, nothing happened between Haruhiko and Tsuchimikado Mari; they were completely innocent.

After all, he was put into the state of a great sage while he was in the car.

Haruhiko changed back into his school uniform.

Tsuchimikado Mari was no longer wearing her women's suit, but instead a red kimono.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at her shoulder.

It was completely covered up there, so you couldn't see anything.

The next second, the cunning old man, Tsuchimikado Mari, smiled faintly.

The neckline was halfway up the hill, revealing the butterfly pattern on the shoulder.

Sexy and alluring.

Haruhiko coughed lightly and went downstairs.

To his surprise, he didn't see Tachibana Yui.

Without much thought, he took out Akashi and handed it to Tsuchimikado Mari.

"The material of this katana is very interesting."

Tsuchimikado Mari flicked the blade with her slender fingers.

It is worth mentioning that she is a fifth-tier spirit tool master, that is, a spirit tool blacksmith.

She had previously crafted a fifth-tier ring for Haruhiko.

For a swordsman, the most important thing is the sword in his hand.

For a spirit tool master, fire is the most important element.

Tsuchimikado Mari is Shiranui, possessing one of the strongest flames in the world.

In addition, she lived long enough to naturally accumulate enough power to become a fifth-tier spirit tool master.

Therefore, her understanding of Akashi is quite professional.

"It must have come from the world of otherworldly demons."

After observing for a moment, Tsuchimikado Mari said, "I obtained this kind of material from a high-level demon before, but it is extremely rare. If you want to repair this sword, you may have to take down one of the seven forbidden zones of the demons."

"..."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

The reason why the restricted area is a restricted area is that even the Great Palace, in conjunction with many other powerful forces, has been unable to take it down.

How can he be so virtuous?

Even if you pull in the fifth tier behind him, it will be difficult.

After all, the forbidden zone isn't just home to a single alien demon.

"Mari-neechan, I want to ask you, do you know anything about this knife?"

Haruhiko reiterated his purpose.

Repair is necessary, but there's no need to look for this material; just find the other half of the blade.

"never seen it."

Mari Tsuchimikado shook her head and said.

Haruhiko secretly thought it was a pity.

It seems we can only rely on Chiyome's side.

"What's it called?"

Tsuchimikado Mari added, "Maybe I've heard of it."

"Nine Swords to Slay Gods, Akashi".

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then decided to tell him.

Mari Tsuchimikado visibly showed surprise.

She glanced at Haruhiko, then continued to scrutinize Akashi.

"I thought the Nine Swords of Godslaying were just a legend."

Tsuchimikado Mari took a deep breath and said, "A thousand years ago, the great Onmyoji Ashiya Dōman went against the heavens and wanted to create nine divine weapons to kill gods, but he was discovered by the gods and forced to stop, and he died as a result."

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

Killing a god?

Akashi is a sixth-tier spiritual tool, so it is indeed possible for her to do so.

This legend also corresponds to the story of Amaterasu breaking it.

The only thing missing is the presence of Yamata no Orochi.

I don't know why?

"You obtained it from the ruins of Takamagahara."

Tsuchimikado Mari returned Akashi to him, saying, "The other half of the blade is most likely still there; we'll encounter it someday."

Haruhiko nodded.

The exploration progress of the Takamagahara Ruins has greatly increased due to the involvement of fifteen major powers.

If it really exists, Haruhiko will find out whoever discovered it.

When the time comes, we'll see how to get it over there.

He has several fifth-tier experts behind him, so he still has plenty of opportunities.

"It's lunchtime, what would you like to eat?"

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at the clock on the wall and asked.

"It will be all right."

Haruhiko said truthfully, "Mari-neechan, everything you make is delicious."

"what about me?"

Tsuchimikado Mari leaned forward slightly.

"Even more delicious!"

Haruhiko's vision was blocked, and it was as if he was under a spell, so he blurted out everything.

Marie Tsuchimikado smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

The intense sense of oppression only completely disappeared after she left.

Haruhiko let out a breath.

In terms of personality, Jinguji Fuyumi and Tsuchimikado Mari are somewhat similar.

But the former doesn't give him a sense of pressure; instead, it gives him a cool and aloof aura.

Although it seems somewhat incongruous with the fact that I am a fox.

The latter, Tsuchimikado Mari, probably because she has been giving orders for a long time, even if she doesn't have those kinds of thoughts, she still exudes that kind of bad woman vibe.

However, Haruhiko wasn't unpleasant to me.

He went upstairs thinking about it.

He stopped in Tachibana Yui's room and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened.

Tachibana Yui appeared with a calm expression.

The only difference was that she had changed her clothes.
