Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She believed she wouldn't lose to Tsuchimikado Mari.

Besides strength.

Unfortunately, the fifth stage is not so easy.

If Yukihime wants to speed things up, she can only ask Haruhiko to do it.

Night falls.

In the living room, Izumi was watching TV again.

After finishing his meal, Haruhiko sat down next to Jinguji Fuyumi.

Under her gaze, he picked her up, placed her on his lap, and casually stroked her fluffy head.

White foxes actually look a lot like cats.

Haruhiko owned a cat in his previous life.

I may not have the chance in this life, but the white fox is just as good.

There were even peacocks.

Jinguji Fuyumi closed her eyes again.

She felt the warmth above her head and pondered how to understand human emotions.

It's difficult for someone like her to experience any emotional fluctuations.

Having been on the fifth stage for so long, Jinguji Fuyumi was inevitably getting anxious.

Now that she's found the right approach, she feels she can't just wait like this.

"Owner."

Izumi flew over, looking quite aggrieved.

She looked at the white fox on Haruhiko's lap, feeling both envious and pitiful.

The two expressions intertwined, making her appear incredibly charming.

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

He did not believe it.

This demon tamer is a natural actor.

"what's up?"

Haruhiko asked casually.

"I am also your demon tamer."

Izumi, hands on her hips, declared, "I want the same treatment as Shirai!"

"..."

Haruhiko was speechless.

You speak so confidently; anyone who didn't know better would think I was abusing the demon tamer.

"Go watch your TV."

Haruhiko poked her forehead hard.

Izumi pouted and stomped his foot in dissatisfaction.

In the end, he could only glare at Bai Shuang and give up on her little scheme.

The TV commercial has ended.

Izumi's eyes lit up immediately, and he forgot what had just happened.

Seeing this, Haruhiko couldn't help but think to himself, "Being a demon tamer is a waste of your talent."

Not long after, the food was served.

Yukihime is different from Tsuchimikado Mari.

She usually doesn't cook for herself, but only prepares enough for Haruhiko.

Even if she wanted to eat it, she would only eat imported food.

Haruhiko's three demon-taming creatures also do not need to eat.

In short, they are quite easy to raise.

The only one who really exhausted herself was Yukihime.

Haruhiko preferred her to eat.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

After dinner, Haruhiko knew that his suffering was about to begin.

After taking a shower, he was led into the room.

A day and a night passed, and the morning sun shone on the earth.

Yukihime left very early again, heading to the Nyotengu Ruins.

Haruhiko yawned.

Life is really tough.

He sighed as he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Today was just another ordinary day.

Going to school and practicing cultivation.

Haruhiko received a message from Mina Utsunomiya over the weekend.

They first discovered the entrance to the ruins by the Fujiwara clan.

Thanks to the support of the Tsuchimikado clan, the Edo Archaeological Bureau awarded them the right to explore the site.

If the Fujiwara clan were to seize it, it would mean they were violating the rules.

However, just because they dare not do so in the Takamagahara ruins does not mean they cannot do so outside.

In short, a grudge has been formed.

Chapter 227 The Door to the Ruins

Although he offended the Fujiwara clan, Haruhiko didn't care.

If you want to grow and thrive, you can't always live in peace.

These powerful forces and families have already secured their interests, and anyone who ventures in will inevitably offend them.

As long as you don't offend everyone.

Only by offending some and befriending others can one gain a foothold.

The same applies to the Utsunomiya clan.

"Mari-neechan".

After receiving the news, Haruhiko dialed Tsuchimikado Mari's number.

He had previously asked Tachibana Yui to look after the Utsunomiya clan.

Given Tsuchimikado's abilities, he must have obtained relevant intelligence.

"It seems that our understanding is getting better and better."

Mari Tsuchimikado said with a hint of a smile, "I was just about to call you."

"Is it about the Takamagahara ruins?"

Haruhiko asked.

"Ah."

Mari Tsuchimikado guessed, "It seems that the Utsunomiya clan has already explained it to you."

"I just found out too."

Haruhiko asked again, "Are you coming to pick me up now?"

"Then you wait."

Tsuchimikado Mari hung up the phone and looked at Tachibana Yui, who was not far away.

She was secretly watching and eavesdropping.

Noticing Tsuchimikado Mari's gaze, Tachibana Yui sat up straight again.

She watched TV as if nothing had happened.

What? Aren't you going to ask me?

Tsuchimikado Mari's lips curled slightly; she found it truly amusing.
