Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "I am a decent person."

Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly laughed.

Her pajamas billowed and swayed, exuding charm, but it was just too tacky.

What a wicked woman.

If Haruhiko hadn't been defeated in the car before, he would definitely have taught her a lesson.

But now he has decided to let her go for the time being.

Given Tsuchimikado Mari's personality, the more she gets entangled, the more trouble she'll cause.

The afternoon was long.

Haruhiko continued his cultivation.

The Tachibana family villa has a large courtyard, which makes it convenient for him to practice Snow Woman: Storm.

Because of Teru Morikawa's matter, Tsuchimikado Mari rushed out after dinner.

Since it concerns the Yamata no Orochi, she must proceed with caution.

Two hours later, Tsuchimikado Mari returned.

She stood at the doorway, looking at the courtyard where snow was falling continuously, her arms crossed, lost in thought.

Haruhiko took a breath.

Fourth-tier spells are great in every way, except they consume too much spiritual energy.

After using a few, it became completely empty.

"Let's rest for a while."

Tsuchimikado Mari stepped forward and handed him a bottle of soda.

There was no soda at home, so it must have been bought on the way.

Haruhiko liked soda in his past life, but he doesn't drink it as much in this life.

He unscrewed the soda, took a sip, and felt very refreshed.

Tsuchimikado Mari suddenly leaned forward, licked her lips, and said, "It tastes good."

Haruhiko was about to speak when his mouth was covered again, but this time it was with psychic energy.

A few minutes later, the two separated.

"Your spell just now was not very useful."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled faintly, her red lips glossy, and her tone was confident and certain.

Haruhiko knew that she didn't like Yukihime, so he thought it was normal.

"Then teach me one?"

He thought for a moment and asked.

"can."

Tsuchimikado Mari readily agreed.

That's clearly what she was thinking.

In the spellcasting tutorial level, you must defeat Yukihime.

"Take a few steps back."

After Haruhiko did as he was told, Tsuchimikado Mari began chanting the incantation.

As psionic energy became active, the surrounding air began to distort.

Flames emerged from her body, spreading outwards like ripples or a tornado.

"Fourth-tier spell, Wildfire Spreads."

Mari Tsuchimikado explained, "Its greatest characteristic is that it operates with itself at the center, which allows it to protect itself to the greatest extent possible."

Haruhiko nodded.

Also a fourth-tier special inherited spell, Snow Woman's Storm is a wide-range attack that moves forward.

As she said, there was a lack of security.

However, Haruhiko has the title of Snow Child, and in terms of power, Snow Woman Storm is still superior.

But if you can learn it, then learn it.

He did not resist.

"Hey, are you trying to destroy my yard?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted their conversation.

Tachibana Yui stood at the door, wearing white pajamas, her hair loose, her face slightly flushed and dreamy.

Cute yet effortlessly chic.

Haruhiko glanced around and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

First came snow, then fire, and both were fourth-order spells, which ordinary flowers and plants naturally could not withstand.

"are you awake?"

Tsuchimikado Mari remained calm. "What would you like to drink?"

"lemonade."

Tachibana Yui yawned.

Like Tsuchimikado Mari, she didn't really care about gardens.

This loss is just a drop in the ocean for them.

However, it is indeed quite wasteful.

Haruhiko left the courtyard and went to the back of the villa, where there was a flat area that was more suitable for practice.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Tsuchimikado Mari then escorted him home.

He instructed him on the way to come on time tomorrow and begin the plan to deceive Morikawa Teru.

At the same time, they handed him a document.

Haruhiko opened it; it contained a detailed plan.

In addition to the previously mentioned plan of transforming into a snake spirit to gain Morikawa Teru's trust, there is another backup plan.

That is to rescue him and take him to the Serpent Spirit's stronghold.

Of course, this base was set up by Tsuchimikado Mari.

Overall, it's quite comprehensive.

"Your Yukihime seems quite worried."

Tsuchimikado Mari stopped the car and said in a calm tone.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked up.

They have arrived at the South Campus of the University of Tokyo.

At this moment, Yukihime was standing not far away.

She used to wait at home.

After much thought, there's only one explanation.

After reaching the fifth level, her strength increased significantly.

Haruhiko couldn't help but have a headache.

Tsuchimikado Mari and Yukihime are incompatible, like ice and fire, which is really troublesome.

cough cough.

He preferred their previous collaboration.

The saying goes, "Different paths lead to the same destination."

Unfortunately, I don't know if there will be another opportunity like this.

"It's not that she's worried."

Haruhiko explained, "See you tomorrow, Mari-neechan."

He took the documents and got out of the car.

Mari Tsuchimikado gave a soft snort.

It's not that I'm worried, it's that I miss them too much.

Seeing the two of them kissing, she turned her car around and drove away.

Although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't possibly go down and fight Yukihime.
