Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

After the meal, she got up, rubbed his head, and took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.

Haruhiko only looked away after watching her graceful figure disappear.

He overworked himself last night, and he still feels quite tired.

He thought for a moment, then went to the living room carpet.

Celestial Fox - Rejuvenation!

Haruhiko cast a buff spell on himself, which immediately boosted his spirits.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Master, we have found out who did it."

Mina Utsunomiya got straight to the point.

"who is it?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

"Kawasaki."

Mina Utsunomiya answered.

"Why does that sound familiar?"

Haruhiko paused slightly, feeling as if he had heard the name somewhere before.

"It's not just that the name sounds familiar, Master. Do you remember the two families that competed with us after the death of the head of the Miyamoto family?"

Mina Utsunomiya reminded her.

Haruhiko immediately remembered it.

After the death of the Miyamoto clan, the Tsuchimikado and Utsunomiya clans seized the initiative because of news about him.

However, there were also sword-wielding families such as the Kawasaki and Kamiizumi clans taking advantage of the situation.

It's not really taking advantage of someone's misfortune; it's more like revenge.

The world of psionicists is just that cruel.

Did Kawasaki also participate in the attack on the Serpent Spirit headquarters?

Haruhiko didn't know if it was a fluke or if there was a mole inside.

But upon closer examination, the former is more likely.

Because it was the Tsuchimikado clan that led the distribution of the spoils of war.

To be honest, Kawasaki doesn't have that kind of capability yet.

"I did not participate."

Mina Utsunomiya shook her head and said, "The most likely explanation is that they got the relevant clues somewhere and that's why they came to us."

This answer is indeed more reasonable.

Over the course of so many years, relics will inevitably leave traces in more than one place.

Many of the ruins recorded by the Grand Master were discovered simultaneously by two or three factions.

In such situations, mediation is usually conducted to avoid war as much as possible.

Of course, this is the work of the Imperial Palace.

Now that the Kawasaki clan has killed two members of the Utsunomiya clan, there is no doubt that they did not consider mediation.

Haruhiko could probably guess what they were thinking.

This kind of thing can be completely turned into an accident.

They claimed they didn't know the real identities of the murderers and could even frame them.

"They dared to kill, but ultimately the Utsunomiya clan was too weak."

Haruhiko gave a soft snort and said.

Besides, there is another reason.

During the partitioning of the Miyamoto clan, a rift developed between the Utsunomiya and Kawasaki clans.

Now that we've seized the opportunity, there's no reason for us to let it go.

"Master, what are you planning to do?"

Mina Utsunomiya paused for a moment, then asked.

She had originally intended to reveal her own plans, but upon hearing this, she suddenly wondered what Haruhiko was thinking.

She can get to know his personality better, even though she already knows him quite well.

"Of course we can't let them go."

Haruhiko replied without hesitation.

The Utsunomiya clan is now developing rapidly and is not afraid of the Kawasaki clan.

Moreover, he has far too many powerful backers.

Moreover, objectively speaking, he is in the right.

Kawasaki was able to come up with many excuses, based on their undefeated situation.

If we just kill them, what should we say? Let Haruhiko just make things up.

The saying "the victor is king, the loser is villain" couldn't be more true.

"Approximately how many of them entered the ruins?"

Haruhiko asked.

He has always believed in planning before acting.

Except at night, you can't just rush in recklessly.

Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences someday.

"I don't know the specifics, but the whereabouts of high-level psionicists have always been a focus of attention."

Mina Utsunomiya smiled and demonstrated her abilities, "Based on my investigation, I have deduced that more than twenty people entered the ruins, including most of the high-ranking members of the Kawasaki family."

"So if we deal with them in the ruins, the Kawasaki clan will basically fall into our hands?"

Haruhiko asked with a smile, his eyes brightening slightly.

The saying goes, "Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts."

This method is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct.

Of course, Haruhiko has principles.

As long as you don't provoke me, I won't bother you for no reason.

Now that Kawasaki committed the murder first, Haruhiko was too lazy to be polite anymore.

"good."

Mina Utsunomiya nodded.

She was quite satisfied with Haruhiko's performance.

As the head of the family, indecisiveness and soft-heartedness are absolutely unacceptable.

"Go and organize the manpower."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and said, "I will bring Aunt Mashiro with me, so there is no reason for me to lose."

Upon hearing this, Mina Utsunomiya couldn't help but smile.

Indeed it is.

She had already noticed that Haruhiko was particularly steady.

You should only take action when you are absolutely certain of success.

As the head of the family, this is indeed a fairly good advantage.

However, this is also a drawback.

Sometimes, being too cautious can cause you to miss out on opportunities.

"Don't be too anxious."

Haruhiko stroked his chin and said, "Let's set off again tomorrow morning and have them scout the way."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Mina Utsunomiya's lips curled up slightly.

She likes this ruthless approach.

In a sense, Haruhiko is quite similar to her former self.

Mina Utsunomiya hung up the phone.

She stayed behind to continue monitoring, while sending Minami Utsunomiya back to fetch reinforcements.
