Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

But since I can enjoy it every day, there's no rush.

"You can get up by yourself in a bit."

Yuki smiled, let go of him, and casually picked up the clothes beside her.

Haruhiko saw only white, which was eventually replaced by a knitted sweater and black tights.

He slowly got up after enjoying the beautiful scenery he saw every day.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, a fox jumped in front of him.

Has Yukihime advanced to the next level?

Jinguji Fuyumi raised his head and asked.

She noticed unusual fluctuations last night.

There's no need to guess; I know who it is.

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded.

Congratulations!

Jinguji Fuyumi remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a calm tone.

She witnessed Yukihime's transformation.

But the thought of myself stagnating makes me a little envious.

Perhaps it's time to give it a try.

"Yukihime is now at the fifth rank. Will she be able to sense you?"

Haruhiko picked up the toothbrush, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.

"will not."

Jinguji Fuyumi wagged her tail and said, "The gap between the fifth tiers is huge. It will take her several hundred years to catch up with me."

Hearing this, Haruhiko felt that the fifth tier was worthless.

After all, several hundred years is a very long time.

But in reality, every fifth-tier psionicist is a force to be reckoned with.

When Jinguji Fuyumi spoke of spiritual energy, he was only referring to it.

If you include spiritual tools, talismans, and the like, it's hard to say.

A fifth-tier cultivator from a prominent family is often much stronger than a fifth-tier cultivator from an unorthodox background.

Even if their psionic abilities are inferior, they can still win.

Jinguji Fuyu turned and left the bathroom.

She came just to confirm what happened last night.

As for what she needs to do, now is not the time.

After Haruhiko finished washing up, Yukihime had already prepared breakfast.

The bread itself is very simple.

She had prepared quite a few ready-made items beforehand.

All you need to do is add ham and eggs.

As for goat milk, there's no need to elaborate.

Today is Sunday.

Yukihime rested her chin on her hand, looked gently at Haruhiko, and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Practice."

Haruhiko answered casually, then paused and said, "If you want to go out, you can."

"I want to go somewhere."

Yukihime hesitated, but her tone revealed a hint of determination: "The Seventh Forbidden Zone."

Haruhiko stopped what he was doing, looked up, and looked surprised.

He knew that Yukihime would go to the Seventh Forbidden Zone, but he didn't expect her to be so impatient.

"But wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to go?"

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then asked.

He didn't stop.

After all, it's a blood feud.

"I want to go back to the Yuki-onna clan to take a look."

Yukihime reached out and gently stroked his face. "If it's dangerous, I definitely won't take you with me."

Haruhiko immediately understood.

She wasn't going to fight the Otherworldly Demons.

It must have been caused by a conversation between the two of them yesterday.

Although Haruhiko said he gave her a new home, how could she forget the past so easily?

Moreover, her asking him to go back might also have a similar meaning to him returning to his parents' home.

"That's fine."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "I'd also like to go and see it."

This is not a lie.

He was indeed interested in the Yuki-onna clan.

Don't have too high expectations.

Yuki poked his forehead with her slender fingers and said, "That place has probably been completely destroyed by the Otherworldly Demons."

"fine."

Haruhiko didn't care.

As long as I can keep Yuki company, that's fine.

"Let's eat."

A dreamy look appeared in Yukihime's icy blue eyes.

She pressed Haruhiko's head into her arms.

The slight panic in my heart gradually disappeared.

Breakfast ended in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

After Haruhiko finished eating and drinking, he went to get his car.

A barrier is set up outside the restricted area.

In addition, according to the order from the Imperial Palace, the only way to get there is by car.

Moreover, once inside, one is responsible for their own life and death.

It's worth mentioning that the barrier only blocks the alien demons.

Humans and monsters are unaffected.

Haruhiko sat in the car waiting.

A few minutes later, Yukihime, wearing a trench coat, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

The seventh restricted area is located in Tokyo.

However, it's in a remote suburb.

An hour later, Haruhiko saw a continuous snow-capped mountain range.

There is a visible barrier on the outside.

The reason it's so obvious is, of course, to serve as a warning.

"right here."

As Yuki gazed at the familiar snow-capped mountains, a flicker of emotion crossed her icy blue eyes.

Haruhiko didn't say anything, he just held her hand tightly.

Noticing his movement, Yuki turned to look at him.

She parted her red lips slightly and leaned forward.

Their breaths rose into mist in the cold environment.

"Thank you."

Yukihime had a faint blush on her face.
