Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko reminded.

"..."

Tachibana Yui fell silent.

Ashiya Dōman was truly audacious.

"There is a problem."

Mari Tsuchimikado frowned and asked, "Why write down such a treasonous plan?"

"the reason is simple."

Haruhiko said in a deep voice, "The Serpent Spirit was established by Ashiya Dōman, not by the Yamata no Orochi."

"Is the method recorded above?"

After her initial surprise, Tsuchimikado Mari asked another question.

"Have."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "It records a sealing ritual, the core of which is the Totsuka Sword."

Chapter 247. Mistaken Identity, Rin and Hotaru

The Totsuka Sword is the most famous sword in Japanese legend.

Its first master was Izanagi, the father of the gods, and it was later given to Susanoo.

He used this sword to kill the Yamata no Orochi.

Haruhiko initially thought that this sword might not exist in the game.

Because the Yamata no Orochi did not die, and was buried in the ruins of Takamagahara.

This is clearly completely different from the legend.

But I never expected that there really was a Ten-Fist Sword.

Without a doubt, this sword is the nemesis of Yamata no Orochi.

Ashiya Dōman only conceived the idea of ​​subduing the Totsuka Sword after obtaining it.

If he succeeds, he will become the most powerful Onmyoji in history.

Even if Orochi is not at its peak, it is still enough to crush everyone in the world today.

It must be said that Ashiya Dōman truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary Onmyoji.

Haruhiko deeply admired this courage alone.

But now, it can be used by him.

If Orochi knew about Ashiya Dōman's plan, he would surely kill him.

In other words, he was willing to pay a price to keep this secret.

As for the cost, that needs to be discussed gradually.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

Tachibana Yui said in a deep voice, "In the future, when we deal with Ashiya Dōman, we can use this to gain a certain advantage."

Clearly, her thoughts were the same as Haruhiko's.

It's rare to have caught Ashiya Dōman red-handed; we can't let him go so easily.

The only problem is that none of them know where he is now, so they can't make a deal.

In addition, there is another prerequisite.

If they want to threaten Ashiya Dōman, they need to contact Yamata no Orochi.

Its main body is in the Takamagahara Ruins, most likely on the fifth floor, but the Imperial Palace has not even fully explored the fourth floor.

It will be a long time before we find it.

The best course of action now is to use the divided spirit of the Yamata no Orochi.

The imprisoned Teru Morikawa became especially important.

But Haruhiko had just deceived him not long ago.

Thinking of this, he warned, "Be careful that Teru Morikawa doesn't escape or commit suicide."

"He has a protective barrier on him, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Tachibana Yui hesitated for a moment, then said, "But what you said makes sense. In a moment, add two more layers of restrictions to him."

"What should we do about Kaneda Yu?"

Haruhiko thought of another question.

Tachibana Yui had previously made a deal with Kaneda Yu.

In return, he was to help Morikawa Teru deal with the Utsunomiya clan.

"It's very simple."

Tachibana Yui smiled, "Kinda Yu's cooperation with the Serpent Spirit is enough to make him compromise."

"The only problem is that I might offend him because of this."

Mari Tsuchimikado said in a calm tone.

She wasn't afraid of Kaneda Yu, but he was, after all, the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

If someone secretly sabotages you, it's still a difficult situation to handle.

"It's worth it."

After thinking for a moment, Tachibana Yui said, "Compared to Kaneda Yu, Morikawa Teru and Ashiya Doman are more valuable."

Mari Tsuchimikado nodded slightly and said nothing more.

She was just filling in the gaps; since Tachibana Yui agreed, she would definitely support her.

"Any thing else?"

Haruhiko said directly, "If there's nothing else, I'll go to Izumo Shrine."

"how?"

Tsuchimikado Mari crossed her legs and teased, "Can't wait to see your little girlfriend?"

"..."

Haruhiko glanced at her and said, "I'm asking about Kasuga Shrine."

"Go ahead."

Tachibana Yui agreed.

For some reason, Tsuchimikado Mari said that, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

So I thought I'd rather not see it than be bothered by it.

It's not that I don't want to see Haruhiko, but rather that I don't want to pay attention to Tsuchimikado Mari.

"Do you need me to send you off?"

Tsuchimikado Mari tugged at her kimono, revealing the top of her black stockings, which subtly clung to her fair thighs.

Although it's just a simple action, it's quite alluring and seems to be hinting at something.

She was very well-behaved in the car before, but now she's acting differently.

"Need not."

Haruhiko chose to refuse.

The main problem is that it takes too much time.

And he was going to find Hoshino Hotaru.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Mari Tsuchimikado wasn't angry; her eyes were just filled with even more allure.

Haruhiko already knew what would happen after he returned.

He nodded and turned to leave.

On the way, he sent a message to Hoshino Hotaru.

He said he would go to the small house that Hoshino Rin was renting right away, and then go to Izumo Shrine to visit Hoshino Aoi.

Almost instantly, he received a reply: two words, "Wait for me."

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

Before long, we arrived at our destination.

He paid the fare and got off the bus.
