Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She used to wear white pajamas, but now she's changed into black pajamas.

It added a touch of mystery to her originally lovely face.

"what's up?"

Tachibana Yui looked up at him and asked.

"The Tsuchimikado clan made some discoveries at the Takamagahara ruins."

Haruhiko didn't waste any words and said directly, "But the entrance to the ruins is not yet confirmed, and now it's being targeted by the Fujiwara clan, so I'd like to ask Aunt Mashiro to keep an eye on it."

"The Fujiwara clan?"

Tachibana Yui frowned slightly and said, "If the Utsunomiya clan discovers the entrance first, there won't be any major problems."

“The Utsunomiya clan can cooperate with the Tsuchimikado clan.”

Haruhiko understood her unspoken meaning.

The Fujiwara clan got there first, and according to the rules of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, the right to explore belonged to them.

Even the Tsuchimikado clan was powerless to help.

"With the help of the Tsuchimikado clan, their chances are even greater than those of the Fujiwara clan."

Haruhiko continued.

"can."

Tachibana Yui nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The quota for the Utsunomiya clan was given by the Tsuchimikado clan.

However, their exploration of the ruins was separate.

If they cooperate, it would be like the Tsuchimikado clan getting a relic for nothing.

Of course, they will definitely contribute.

Although the Utsunomiya clan's harvest was reduced, it also meant fewer casualties.

It's a fair trade.

"You do look a bit like the head of the family."

Tachibana Yui smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips.

"Then I still need to continue learning from Aunt Mashiro."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Haruhiko smiled as well.

"Hmph, you have a lot to learn."

Hearing his flattery, Tachibana Yui temporarily forgot her previous unpleasantness.

Haruhiko's heart moved slightly.

She stood up slightly on her tiptoes, chest puffed out, a smug look on her face.

They look exceptionally cute.

"you……"

Tachibana Yui noticed his rather aggressive gaze, and couldn't help but recall what had happened before, her face turning red again.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

Her little feet, encased in white socks, took a slight step back, her two small hands crossed together, and her face, as round as an apple, made her even more adorable.

He swallowed subconsciously.

Without hesitation, Qingyan lowered his head and hugged her petite body.

Tachibana Yui was immediately dizzy.

Without any resistance, the initiative was lost.

After a long while, Tachibana was finally able to breathe in some fresh air.

She noticed Haruhiko's state, quickly closed the door, and fled in panic.

After hesitating for a moment, she felt she was about to make a very serious mistake.

Bang.

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and started smashing things.

how to say?

That's quite interesting.

Haruhiko turned and went downstairs.

He turned on the TV to distract himself.

Chapter 226 A Brief Battleground

There wasn't anything interesting on TV, and Haruhiko quickly calmed down.

First of all, let me clarify that he is not a lolicon, but Tachibana Yui is indeed cute.

Whether it's her appearance or her contrasting personality, it all resonated with Haruhiko.

The only downside is that her figure is indeed quite average.

However, Haruhiko has already seen Yukihime and Tsuchimikado Mari, so there's no need for another one.

Tachibana Yui is small, but that's fine too.

Half an hour later, Tsuchimikado Mari came out of the kitchen carrying food.

Haruhiko glanced at it.

Classic tempura served with a vegetable salad.

It wasn't lavish, but it wasn't meager either.

"Go call your Auntie Makoto."

Mari Tsuchimikado had no idea what had happened between Haruhiko and Yui Tachibana.

She thought that her previous conversation with her had left her still angry.

His tone was somewhat amused and exasperated as he spoke.

Even though they're already in their thirties, they're more prone to getting angry than children.

"Ok."

Haruhiko turned off the TV and went to Tachibana Yui's door.

He knocked on the door, and a moment later a sound came from inside.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Seeing that she had no intention of coming out, Haruhiko explained, "Aunt Mashiro, let's eat."

He waited a few more seconds before the door was opened.

Tachibana Yui's complexion has returned to normal.

Upon seeing him, she lowered her head again.

It gave Haruhiko the feeling of a child who had made a mistake.

He crouched down and looked up at her.

"Do...what?"

Tachibana Yui, feeling his intense gaze, subconsciously looked away and said in a slightly nervous tone.

"Aunt Mashiro is getting cuter and cuter."

Haruhiko reached out and ruffled her hair.

"..."

Tachibana Yui froze for a moment, then glared at him and snapped, "You have no manners! I'm your aunt!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile and remove his hand.

Tachibana Yui was so angry at his attitude that she showed her two little tiger teeth.

It looked like it would pounce on them at any moment.

"Cough cough."

Haruhiko stopped teasing her and said, "Aunt Mashiro, it's time for lunch. Otherwise, I don't know what Mari-neechan will say."

Tachibana Yui's face stiffened, and her momentum waned.
