Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"Are you and your Aunt Dongyu hiding something from me?"

Yuki tilted her head.

Haruhiko trembled in fright.

He restrained himself from overreacting and calmly said, "No."

Yuki met his gaze, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

A smile appeared on her delicate, slightly flushed face.

At that moment, she didn't ask any further questions.

But necessary punishments are still required.

Another two hours passed.

Haruhiko finally got up.

He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his listless appearance, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He paid too high a price to conceal the truth.

Despite Yukihime's relentless pursuit, he did not give in.

Next time I'll have to ask Jinguji Tougo for some interest.

Haruhiko turned on the tap, washed his face, and immediately felt much more refreshed.

He suddenly remembered a spell.

Celestial Fox - Rejuvenation!

Since Haruhiko reached the third stage of the demon body, he has rarely used it.

It's barely enough, after all.

I angered Yukihime today, which led me to go a bit too far.

Heavenly Fox Rejuvenation can restore one's health, stamina, and durability.

Moreover, it advances in rank as the player progresses.

It used to be the third stage, now it's the fourth stage.

After consuming another 10,000 points of spiritual energy, Haruhiko felt fully recovered.

He brushed his teeth and then took a shower.

Today is Saturday, no school. I told Yuki before that I would go out with her.

Haruhiko then changed into a casual spring outfit.

He went to the living room.

"Owner!"

Izumi excitedly flew over.

She hadn't seen Haruhiko all morning, so naturally she missed him.

The main reason was that Yukihime had set up a barrier around his room, so she didn't even have a chance to eavesdrop.

"If you have nothing better to do, bring me my hairdryer."

Haruhiko glanced at her petite figure and said.

Izumi immediately flew to his room.

Upon smelling the familiar scent, a deep blush rose on her face.

Haruhiko sat on the sofa.

I just took a shower, and my hair is still wet.

Actually, he could use the fire at night to dry the food.

But this is risky.

If not properly managed, it can easily lead to baldness.

Haruhiko thought it was better not to try.

Just then, Jinguji Fuyu, who had transformed into a white fox, swayed her tail in front of him.

She didn't say anything, but Haruhiko probably knew.

Is he asking if he's going back to Inari Shrine?

If she were to return, she would need to make some preparations to avoid Yuki-hime noticing anything amiss.

"Wait a minute, Yukihime and I will be going out."

Haruhiko patted her head as he spoke.

It's fluffy and feels great to the touch.

"Owner!"

Izumi returned carrying a hairdryer.

Haruhiko plugged in the power.

He originally intended to do it himself, but Izumi took it from him.

She began to mutter incantations, and her body gradually grew taller.

She used her shapeshifting ability, but instead of changing her appearance, she simply increased her size.

It's probably because she was exposed the day before yesterday when she transformed into Yukihime to trick him into kissing her.

In fact, Haruhiko did not recognize him.

At least her appearance and figure are flawless.

But I'm not skilled enough.

Izumi stopped psychic energy fluctuations once he reached a height of 1.6 meters.

Haruhiko glanced at it.

how to say?

It's quite novel.

His simple and honest demeanor hasn't changed much.

With that face, all you can do is think she's cute.

Haruhiko lowered his head again.

Izumi walked around to his front, bent down slightly, and began to blow-dry his hair.

It wasn't long before it was dried.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko said casually.

"What's the reward?"

Izumi looked at him expectantly.

"What reward do you want?"

Suddenly, Yukihime's voice rang out.

Izumi's body trembled, and his smile froze.

"You said."

Yuki walked to the dining table and put down today's breakfast, a bowl of ramen.

"unnecessary!"

Izumi quickly shook his head, grabbed the hair dryer, and fled in panic.

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

Yukihime is still scarier.

However, this is largely due to the hierarchical suppression among the monsters.

"Shouldn't we be having lunch now?"

Haruhiko picked up his chopsticks and looked up at Yukihime.

A bowl of ramen is pretty good for breakfast, but a little too little for dinner.

"Let's go out and get something to eat later."

Yukihime's gentle voice rang out.

She certainly wouldn't let Haruhiko go hungry.

Logically, we should go out for lunch.

However, considering that Haruhiko had worked hard all morning, she decided to eat a bowl of ramen first to fill her stomach.
