Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko reacted quickly and subconsciously used the talisman.

White psionic energy enveloped his entire body, instantly forming a suit of armor.

The little girl bit Haruhiko's shoulder, her expression freezing instantly.

She opened her mouth and lost two teeth.

"...?"

Haruhiko slowly typed out a question mark.

How did the first two psionicists fail?

Priest - Holy Light!

Haruhiko uttered two syllables.

The little girl was enveloped in dazzling light.

Her body suddenly began to melt.

A few seconds after the scream, she suddenly returned to her normal appearance, no longer looking ferocious.

This is the effect of holy light.

They helped the little girl go to the underworld.

According to Japanese tradition, it means becoming a Buddha.

[You have defeated the earthbound spirit Iwasaki Miho, gaining 10 points of psychic energy.]

Haruhiko did not let his guard down because of the game's notification sounds.

Even if the first two psionicists are weak, they can't possibly lose to a geoglyph.

There are other things in this old school building.

The sound of whistling wind appeared out of nowhere.

It struck Haruhiko's spirit armor in the form of a whirlwind.

Priest·Blazing Sun!

Haruhiko was prepared.

The scorching light floated in the air, illuminating the dim old school building.

At the same time, the attackers were scattered.

Three monsters resembling weasels.

They stood on top of each other, like a human pyramid, with sharp claws on their hands.

It's a Kamaitachi.

The wind demon from Japanese legends.

They are extremely fast and consist of three monsters.

The murderous intent in Haruhiko's eyes faded.

Kamaitachi is a type of yokai that tends to be neutral.

They like to play tricks on humans.

The eldest brother caused the man to fall, the second brother cut open the man's skin, and the third brother applied medicine to the wound.

It's just so weird.

In addition, Haruhiko also remembered that there was a Kamaitachi among the monster extermination requests he had seen before.

They need to be returned to the Arakawa River or the Imperial Palace can be contacted to deliver them.

The Kamaitachi couldn't break through the Spirit Armor Talisman's defenses, and sunlight was shining down on its head.

They retreated very decisively.

The speed is astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, they were already five meters away.

Speed ​​​​talisman!

Haruhiko used the talisman without hesitation.

He suddenly accelerated and moved forward a distance.

The three weasels were immediately terrified.

Haruhiko was already in front of him.

In their panic, they raised their sharp claws, and their psionic energy transformed into a whirlwind, resembling six fiery wheels, radiating sharpness.

Spirit Armor Talisman!

Haruhiko remained calm and tossed out four talismans.

White light shone in all directions around the Kamaitachi.

Four suits of armor hovered in the air, blocking their escape route.

Celestial Fox - Bewitching!

Just as Haruhiko was about to begin chanting, he was moved by something.

The red string in his hand glowed slightly, triggering a 10% instant activation probability.

The spiritual energy within the body was rapidly mobilized outwards.

Two fox ears appeared on Haruhiko's head.

At the same time, a faint, invisible spiritual fluctuation emanated outwards.

The three weasels froze in place.

They stared intently at Haruhiko.

But she was different from the Hazuki Tanno I had met before.

Perhaps because she was a woman, she was under a spell, which caused her gaze to be filled with adoration.

Just as Haruhiko was wondering, the three Kamaitachi knelt down on the ground.

"Lord Celestial Fox, please spare us!"

They all spoke in unison, and there was absolutely no difference between them.

But the respect and shock on their faces were genuine.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

Did it mistake itself for a celestial fox?

These three Kamaitachi are only first-tier monsters, so it's understandable that they would mistake one for another.

Haruhiko opened his phone and accepted the request to exorcise the monster.

“You all stand up.”

The three weasels immediately got up and piled up on top of each other again.

"Come on, smile."

Haruhiko opened his camera and took a picture.

He immediately contacted the staff at the Imperial Palace and sent them the photos.

Not long after, they received a response, and someone arrived immediately.

"Stand still and don't move. Wait for someone to take you home, understand?"

Haruhiko put away his phone and said.

"understand!"

The three weasels nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

They are not bad by nature, they just love to play.

Although I'm reluctant to leave, I have no choice but to go home now.

Just then, an unusual noise came from not far away.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

besides?

He instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

In the corner, there are old, fallen posters.

It was being supported by something at that moment.

A moment later, a small head peeked out furtively.

Her eyes were fixed on Haruhiko, and it seemed as if there were pink hearts inside them.

It is a human brain.
