Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

If 30,000 people were all ordinary people, even a high-level psychic could accomplish that.

But clearly, those who died were not ordinary people, but elites of the Imperial Palace.

Taking the Tsuchimikado clan as an example, even if the main family and branch families combined, it would be difficult to exceed a thousand people.

This demon from the First Forbidden Zone wiped out at least dozens of factions.

What are its supernatural powers?

Haruhiko asked with some curiosity.

"Immortality."

Yuki paused for a moment and said, "I feel it's more complicated than immortality; it's more like resurrection."

No wonder there were so many casualties.

An unkillable fifth-tier demon—just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

The only solution is to seal it.

But sealing is sometimes more troublesome than killing.

The demons won't just obediently let themselves be slaughtered.

Moreover, the fifth-tier demons are quite intelligent.

Haruhiko fell into deep thought.

If it can't be killed, why is the Izumo Shrine causing trouble for it?

Therefore, a successor was specifically designated.

If you're just there to be a sparring partner, then it's obviously unnecessary.

Because it is too dangerous.

If they really wanted sparring partners, with the power of the Izumo Shrine, they could easily ask a fifth-tier psychic for help.

Safe and efficient.

Haruhiko couldn't figure it out and had no choice but to give up.

The only solution is to go to the First Forbidden Zone sometime in the future.

Whether it's Hoshino Rin or Hoshino Hotaru, he definitely doesn't want to see them get into trouble.

"It's a little weird."

Yuki suddenly stopped and looked up at the summit of the snow mountain.

"what happened?"

Haruhiko became alert. "A demon?"

"No."

Yuki shook her head. "But it's illogical that there haven't been any otherworldly demons for so long."

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, but then he immediately understood.

They encountered several waves of demons when they went up the mountain, but they didn't encounter a single one when they came down.

"Something might have changed."

After pondering for a moment, Xueji shook her head and said, "This is none of our business. Let's go back."

If she hadn't met Haruhiko, she definitely would have gone to find out the truth without asking any questions.

Now, she is not only worried about him getting into trouble, but also about herself.

Revenge is necessary, but losing the present excitement in the process would be a loss.

The two people left the barrier.

Haruhiko drove the car, and he and Yukihime returned to Tokyo.

He woke up in the afternoon.

By the time they got home, it was evening.

And today is Monday.

Haruhiko had no signal inside the barrier and only discovered the problem after he came out.

Fortunately, it didn't last long and nothing serious happened.

If they delayed for another two days, Haruhiko suspected that Tsuchimikado Mashiro and the others would have to search the whole world for someone.

He replied to each of them before they were relieved.

However, some were angry.

For example, Tsuchimikado Mari.

She never trusted Yukihime.

She took Haruhiko out for the whole day and then disappeared, which made her unhappy.

She just didn't show it.

"Owner!"

With tears welling up in my eyes, Izumi said, "You're finally back!"

Actually, being missing for a day is nothing.

But Tsuchimikado Mari and Hoshino Hotaru both came to ask.

This gave her a bad feeling.

Just as Izumi was about to pounce on her face, Yuki grabbed him.

Although she is no longer a demon of the Yuki-onna clan, she is still cold enough to deal with a woman who attacks her.

Izumi was so frightened by her glare that his legs went weak and he immediately became obedient.

For some reason, she felt that Yukihime was more terrifying than before.

With Izumi's strength, he naturally couldn't detect her advancement.

But the sense of oppression has increased.

The only one who knew the inside story was Jinguji Fuyumi.

She wasn't worried at all when Haruhiko briefly lost contact.

This is because Yukihime is already at the fifth rank.

In present-day Japan, apart from the restricted areas, the fifth level is relatively safe.

But even in restricted areas, as long as you're not stubborn, escaping isn't particularly difficult.

"Take a rest for a while."

Yukihime put Izumi down and said, "I'll go prepare dinner."

"Hard."

Haruhiko casually closed the door.

After Yukihime left, Izumi finally approached.

"Master, are you okay?"

Do I look like something's wrong to you?

Haruhiko poked her cheek with his finger.

He felt like he was poking at some kind of small bread roll.

"That's good."

Izumi hugged his fingers and said, "I'm so worried!"

Haruhiko always had the illusion that she was trying to take credit.

He readily agreed, saying, "Not bad."

"Is there any reward?"

Izumi immediately seized the opportunity and stared intently at him.

"That's not a good thing."

Haruhiko withdrew his finger and flicked her forehead, saying, "Okay, go watch your TV."

Izumi left feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Her acting skills are getting better and better.

Haruhiko smiled and shook his head, took off his shoes, and walked into the living room.

He glanced at Jinguji Tougo and then sat down on the sofa.

The two did not exchange many words.

Haruhiko took out his phone.
