Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Logically speaking, she could be placed in a storage artifact.

But she didn't.

"Welcome home."

Haruhiko stepped forward and took the dish.

Why are you home so early today?

Yuki took off her white trench coat, revealing a knitted sweater and black tights underneath.

She tossed her long silver hair, instantly making her mature charm even more apparent.

"I have something to tell you."

Haruhiko watched her bend down to take off her shoes.

"Put the groceries in the kitchen, and we can talk more later."

Yukihime chuckled softly and said.

Haruhiko nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.

After setting out the dishes, I also made two glasses of lemonade and brought them out.

"Go ahead."

Yuki took a sip of lemonade.

The red lips made her look even more alluring and seductive.

“It’s a relic.”

Haruhiko had nothing to hide from Yukihime.

Jinguji Fuyumi happened to be there as well.

He gave a brief explanation.

"Yama no Orochi?"

Upon hearing this, Yukihime was somewhat lost in thought.

Although she is already at the fifth level, she is still far from being a god in legend.

Not to mention the infamous evil god, Yamata no Orochi.

Jinguji Fuyugo was much calmer.

She knew that the Takamagahara ruins were the tombs of the gods when she was at the Inari Shrine.

I just didn't expect it to be Yamata no Orochi.

“Mari-neechan has already confirmed the location of the hunting party, but Tsuchimikado-san is busy with something recently and can’t spare the time.”

Haruhiko revealed his purpose: "I want you to come with me this time."

"You're only contacting me now?"

Xueji rolled her eyes at him and said, "You should have told me sooner that it was so dangerous."

Haruhiko smiled sarcastically.

The main reason he didn't inform them in time was because the Tsuchimikado clan was involved.

But it's not too late.

"Leave tomorrow."

Yukihime perked up and said, "It concerns the gods, so I am quite interested."

The present era is not as vibrant as it was a thousand years ago, with fewer traces of deities.

Now that they are in seclusion, as fifth-tier psionicists, they all have the desire to advance.

And this hope rests with the gods.

Jinguji Fuyu also raised her head.

She was the messenger of the Inari god, but she had never actually seen the god.

It had already disappeared by then.

She had plenty of curiosity.

In particular, she was even more eager to advance than Yukihime.

Although a breakthrough has been found for Haruhiko, progress is still slow.

"can."

Qingyan nodded and said, "Bai Shuang should go too; she might be able to help."

Yukihime had no objections.

Her attention was entirely focused on the Yamata no Orochi.

With the matter settled, the remaining time was dedicated to daily cultivation.

a new day.

Haruhiko asked his senior sister, Aizawa Kaoru, for leave early and then set off with Yukihime.

The remains of the hunting and drinking site are located on the banks of the Fei River.

Coincidentally, it was also in Shimane Prefecture.

The headquarters of the Serpent Spirit is located in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture.

However, there is still a gap between the two.

Haruhiko doesn't need to worry about affecting the Tsuchimikado clan.

Because Shimane Prefecture is quite far away.

The two humans and the fox were using the Tsuchimikado clan's teleportation array.

On the way, Haruhiko also asked Tsuchimikado Mari about her current situation.

They have already sent messages to the fifteen heads of the clans and received replies. The summoning meeting will be held at the Takamagahara Ruins this afternoon.

The Hii River embankment in Shimane Prefecture.

A well-known flower viewing spot.

More than 800 cherry trees have been planted on both sides of the river.

Fortunately, it's not the season for flowers to bloom, so there aren't many pedestrians.

Haruhiko and Yukihime walked along the riverbank toward their destination.

As we ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became even more pristine.

They eventually stopped.

"This is the place shown on the map."

Haruhiko looked at the wide river in front of him and said.

The Moon God's Tale refers to a general area, not a specific location.

Now we can only rely on Yukihime and Jinguji Fuyumi.

Haruhiko is quite self-aware.

He can't be of much help.

"Let me try."

Yuki walked to the riverbank, squatted down, and then stretched out her finger and submerged it in the water.

Then spiritual energy surged forth, leaving faint ice crystals wherever it passed.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Jinguji Fuyumi.

She simply closed her eyes.

No psionic fluctuations could be detected at all.

In this respect, she is stronger than Yukihime.

Haruhiko looked around.

With his abilities, he naturally couldn't discern anything.

He thought that if all else failed, he would have to ask the fish in the river.

But it's probably difficult to estimate.

The time when the hunting and drinking took place was a thousand years ago.

If the fish in the river could live this long, they would have been monsters and left this place long ago.

Fortunately, the two fifth-tier psionicists were not jealous.

The reason no one found it before was because no one knew there were ruins underground, so no fifth-tier psionicist would be bored enough to explore them.

“There is something unusual on the wall on the left side of the riverbank.”
