Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

However, it has been closed and restored to its original stone gate appearance.

"finished?"

Mina Utsunomiya could hardly believe it.

The main problem is that this trip didn't yield much substantial benefit.

Information such as the Yamata no Orochi is difficult to value.

Even if they were to split up with the Tsuchimikado clan, it wouldn't be a good solution.

As for "The Tale of the Moon God," there is only one copy.

Furthermore, the specific functions are unknown.

"It looks like it's over."

Unlike Mina Utsunomiya, Mashiro Tsuchimikado felt she gained a lot from this experience.

Having learned more about the secrets of the Yamata no Orochi means taking another step closer to the sixth rank.

Moreover, there is a new relic, the Drinking Hunt, one of the Nine Swords of Godslaying.

"Let's go back first."

Haruhiko wanted to see what skills "The Tale of the Moon God" had, but now was not the right time.

They said they were going back, but only five people actually went back.

The rest were members of the Edo Archaeological Bureau's exploration team.

They decided to stay and continue searching for new relics.

After returning to Earth, Haruhiko and Mina Utsunomiya followed Mashiro and Mari Tsuchimikado back to the villa.

They need to discuss the allocation of resources and the next site.

Chapter 233. In the bathroom with Yukihime

Back in the familiar living room, Haruhiko immediately felt relaxed.

He felt he would go crazy sooner or later if he stayed in the dim environment of the Takamagahara ruins for too long.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro took out "The Tale of the Moon Lord".

Because Mina Utsunomiya was present, she did not switch back to her real body and continued to use a stand-in.

She opened "The Tale of the Moon God," but it was blank, with no text inside.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned slightly.

Spiritual tools come in a variety of shapes, and naturally, there are also book-shaped spiritual tools.

But blank ones are rare.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro thought for a moment, then channeled more psionic energy into his body.

There are essentially two ways to use spiritual tools.

The simplest and most direct method is to activate it using psionic energy.

One type is more complex, often involving high-level spiritual tools that require special methods to activate.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stared at the unresponsive "Tales of the Moon Lord" and fell silent.

It is clearly the second one.

Think about it too.

To construct such a realistic illusionary world, its rank must be at least the fifth level.

It might even be a legendary divine object.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Seeing her sitting there lost in thought, Haruhiko asked, "Can I take a look?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro nodded upon hearing this.

She closed "The Tale of the Moon God" and handed it to Haruhiko.

Although she didn't think he could see anything, she still acknowledged his peculiarities.

Especially in ruins.

Without his help, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro knew he must have a secret.

But everyone has secrets.

There's no need to investigate.

After Haruhiko touched "The Tale of the Moon God", the game notification sound rang out.

A pale blue light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Title: The Tale of the Moon God.]

[Rank: Sixth Rank]

[Skills: Divine World Creation, Nine Swords Scroll.]

[Note: Created by Tsukuyomi, specifically to search for the traces of the Nine Swords of Godslaying.]

[God-Created World: Fifth Tier, consumes 100,000 points of spiritual energy to create an illusionary world that is difficult to distinguish from reality.]

[Nine Swords Scroll: Third Tier. Consumes 1000 points of spiritual energy to locate the Nine God-Slaying Swords within a certain range.]

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that this was actually created by Tsukuyomi.

He had previously believed it to be the spirit tool of Yamata no Orochi.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that only Tsukuyomi can be called the Moon Lord.

In Japanese mythology, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu hold the same status, being among the three great deities.

Another one is Susanoo, who slew the Yamata no Orochi.

Haruhiko snapped out of his reverie and fixed his gaze on "The Tale of the Moon Lord".

For him, this spiritual tool, though of a high rank, had limited uses.

Because he cannot use the skills of God who created the world.

His total psionic power doesn't even reach 100,000 points.

The only useful item was the Nine Swords Scroll.

Finding the nine swords from the God-Slaying series will stop Orochi.

"How about it?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro took a sip of lemonade and asked.

Tsuchimikado Mari was sitting opposite her.

She beckoned and then had Mina Utsunomiya stand behind her to give her a massage.

She looks more like the lady of the house than she does.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro is also a bit strange.

When did Mina Utsunomiya become so obedient?

It wouldn't be surprising if she knew what happened in the Takamagahara ruins.

After all, the two of them were good sisters who shared a bed.

"Ibuki said that the 'Tales of the Moon God' was used to track down the Nine Swords of Godslaying."

Haruhiko pretended to ponder and said, "To activate it, it might require the stimulation of the Nine Swords of Godslaying."

If Tsuchimikado Mashiro can't use "The Tale of the Moon Lord," it would seem too absurd for him to be able to use it directly.

He took out the Ming Shi stone and silently recited the Nine Swords Scroll.

As the thousand points of spiritual energy disappeared, "The Tale of the Moon Lord" suddenly lit up.

Then, without any wind, the cover opened automatically, revealing its contents.

What was originally a blank page now contains a map.

The map was rather crude, consisting of only simple lines and a prominent red dot in the center.

"It can actually be activated?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at Haruhiko with some surprise.

But soon, our attention turned to "The Tale of the Moon God".

"This should be a partial map of Tokyo."
