Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Tachibana Yui nodded and said.

If it were to delve deeper into the Serpent Spirit realm, she naturally wouldn't let Haruhiko take any risks.

However, meeting a controlled fourth-order divine messenger shouldn't be a problem.

"no problem."

Haruhiko agreed, but soon remembered another loophole.

He had seen a fragment of the Yamata no Orochi's spirit in the ruins of Izuminokami Kanesada.

He was unsure whether there was any connection between the divided spirits.

If so, he might be recognized.

In that case, it would be meaningless.

Haruhiko thought of this and then said something.

Although Tachibana Yui was not involved in the Izumi no Kami Kanesada ruins, she was aware of them.

After all, the fragments are still being repaired by the Tsuchimikado clan.

"That's it."

After a moment's thought, Tachibana Yui said, "Use a spirit tool to disguise yourself, then have you arrested as a member of the Serpent Spirit."

"Is disguise feasible?"

Haruhiko had some doubts.

"rest assured."

Tachibana Yui smiled and took out a crystal-like mask, saying, "This is a fifth-tier spiritual tool that I often use. It can freely change my appearance and body shape."

Frequently used?

Haruhiko thought of her idol's identity, which made sense.

However, he had never seen her use it.

He got his hands on the mask.

It was thinner and softer than he had imagined.

At the same time, a game notification sound rang out.

【Name: The Appearance of All Beings】

[Rank: Fifth Rank]

[Effect: Allows the user to change their appearance at will, making them undetectable by psychics of the fifth rank or lower.]

[Note: Formed from the combined offerings of incense from all living beings, it is also called the "Form of All Living Beings."]

This is probably the fifth-tier spirit tool with the fewest skills that Haruhiko has ever seen.

But it's effective.

It is especially remarkable that even a fifth-tier psionicist could not detect it, which is truly defying the heavens.

Of course, the sixth level, that is, the gods, can be seen.

However, Teru Morikawa is only at the fourth level, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Haruhiko picked up the mask after thinking about it.

He brought it closer and smelled a familiar, pleasant fragrance.

It was on Tachibana Yui.

She wasn't lying; she did indeed use the mask frequently.

With a gentle press, Haruhiko made the mask fit his face perfectly.

With a slight thought, he transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man.

This is an actor he saw on TV.

In addition, her body shape has also changed.

Haruhiko looked down and saw that his skin had turned pale and was wrinkled.

It's so realistic that even I can't recognize it.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a fifth-tier spiritual artifact.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's wait until Mari returns before taking action."

Tachibana Yui looked at the unfamiliar Haruhiko and said.

Although she is at the fifth level, it is not a problem for her to be a little more cautious when facing the Yamata no Orochi.

Who knows what's special about its fragmented spirit?

With Tsuchimikado Mari added in, it's relatively safe.

Haruhiko removed his mask and returned to his normal appearance.

He nodded and said, "I'll listen to Aunt Mashiro."

"Keep this mask for now."

Tachibana Yui rolled up her sleeves, waved her small, white fist, and said, "If you lose it, you'll know what happens."

The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became cute.

"What consequences?"

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile and asked.

You'll find out then.

Tachibana Yui paused, then gave a soft hum and said.

Actually, she hadn't thought it through either.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko glanced at the time and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs to make some talismans."

"Go ahead."

Tachibana Yui waved her hand and said, "You can come to me when you don't have any spiritual energy."

Because her substitute will require a spellcaster.

She was quite supportive of Haruhiko making talismans.

Even if she was a little reluctant, she had to suppress it.

Haruhiko got up and went upstairs.

In his room, he received another photo of Hoshino Hotaru.

Unlike before, this time the photo shows her wearing a bath towel.

A bath towel wrapped around her young body, revealing her fragrant shoulders and feet, which were still faintly damp with water droplets.

It was obviously taken right after he took a shower.

The beauty lies in the hazy, indistinct.

Haruhiko was truly treated to a feast for the eyes.

But the only one who seemed a little confused sent two pictures.

Almost exactly the same.

Guess which one is me?

A line of text suddenly popped up.

"...?"

Haruhiko was stunned.

Does that mean one of the pictures is of Hoshino Rin?

He was speechless for a moment.

How can we guess?

Haruhiko zoomed in on the photo and finally noticed the difference.

One of them looked slightly surprised.

It's probably because Hoshino Rin didn't expect Hoshino Hotaru to take a picture, which caused her emotional change.

"The second one."

Haruhiko typed.

"answer."

Hotaru Hoshino quickly replied, "As a reward, I'll grant you one request, anything is fine with me."

Haruhiko suddenly laughed.
