Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Because he stayed up all night with them, he was exhausted and felt completely numb and weak.

But the results were good, and the gains were huge.

Haruhiko gradually snapped out of his daze.

Looking at Hongluan's new panel, he felt that his efforts throughout the night had not been in vain; it was indeed quite good.

【Name: Red Phoenix】

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

[Skills: Crimson Phoenix Strikes, Crimson Phoenix Cries, Flowing Light Chases the Wind.]

[Note: Tailor-made for Shiranui, possessing unlimited potential for upgrades.]

[Red Phoenix Star Strikes: Fourth Tier. Consumes 10,000 points of spiritual energy to imbue the blade with scorching flames, causing damage upon contact.]

[Crimson Phoenix Cry: Fourth Tier, consumes 10,000 points of spiritual energy to unleash a phoenix-shaped blade of energy, dealing massive damage over long distances.]

[Swift Light Chasing the Wind: Fourth Tier, consumes 10,000 points of spiritual energy to unleash a whirlwind-like attack at extremely high speed.]

The skills remained the same, but their power was increased, and the three skills became fourth-tier spells.

Since it's a skill that comes with the spirit tool, it means there's no casting time.

If Haruhiko were to use three fourth-tier spells in an instant, an ordinary fourth-tier psychic would be absolutely unable to withstand it.

Unless you have a defensive magical artifact, you will either die or be seriously injured.

As for psionicists below the fourth rank, needless to say, they would be instantly killed.

Even a fifth-tier psionicist might be able to inflict damage unexpectedly.

Although the chances are very small.

Haruhiko put away the Red Phoenix.

He didn't go home.

I explained the situation to Yuki yesterday.

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she was always extremely tolerant of Haruhiko's willfulness.

If it were someone else, they would probably be subjected to severe torture.

Haruhiko arrived at the Red Phoenix Villa.

After all, I had already made an appointment with Mina Utsunomiya to go to the Shizugozen Ruins yesterday.

"Owner."

Minami Utsunomiya was somewhat surprised, not expecting Haruhiko to arrive so early; it was only seven o'clock, and it wasn't even dawn yet.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't show it, and a bright and beautiful smile appeared on her face.

Haruhiko looked him up and down.

Because she had just gotten up, Minami Utsunomiya was wearing a white nightgown that covered her buttocks, revealing her fair and slender thighs.

Her jade-like feet were bare, smooth and white, with her toes appearing round and plump.

Haruhiko looked at the half-peeled ice cream in front of him, and his stomach growled.

I'm extra hungry because I expended too much energy last night.

Before, I was only paying attention to Hongluan and didn't realize it, but now the ice cream has suddenly whetted my appetite and I'm starving.

"Master, please come in."

Minami Utsunomiya smiled slightly and said, "I'll prepare breakfast for you right away."

"Thank you."

Haruhiko nodded, entered the living room, and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Owner."

Seeing that he looked exhausted, Minami Utsunomiya couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"Yes."

Haruhiko waved his hand and asked, "Isn't Mina up yet?"

"She went to Kanagawa."

Minami Utsunomiya explained, "She should be back soon."

Haruhiko understood.

Mina Utsunomiya went to retrieve the spirit artifact she had wanted yesterday.

Although he knew she wasn't sincere, he had to admit that her act of putting him first made him feel favorably towards her.

"Owner."

Minami Utsunomiya then asked, "What would you like for breakfast?"

"It will be all right."

Haruhiko wasn't picky about anything; as long as it was edible, he was fine with it.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Minami Utsunomiya's delicate face before she quickly turned and headed to the kitchen.

Looking at her graceful back, especially the glimpses of her beauty, Haruhiko felt a little better.

After all, beauty is pleasing to the eye.

He closed his eyes and waited for breakfast.

A few seconds later, he felt a soft touch.

A pair of warm hands gently massaged his forehead.

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, but he guessed that it was Mina Utsunomiya.

Because of that familiar brainwave.

He didn't open his eyes, but continued to enjoy the massage.

My body relaxed, and I felt much more comfortable.

A dozen minutes later, he smelled a rich fragrance again.

Haruhiko suddenly woke up.

What came into view was a deep abyss crevice.

He could barely make out Mina Utsunomiya's figure behind him.

"Owner."

When Minami Utsunomiya saw him open his eyes, she said, "Eat your ramen while it's hot."

Mina Utsunomiya took a half step back, moving the huge shadow aside.

Haruhiko got up from the sofa and went to the dining table.

Breakfast was tonkotsu ramen.

He picked up his chopsticks and refused the imported ramen from Minami Utsunomiya.

The main problem is that it's too slow.

Moreover, he doesn't have any particular appetite right now.

After all, last night was too torturous.

Minami Utsunomiya wasn't angry. She sat opposite Haruhiko, displaying her shrewd and cunning nature.

Mina Utsunomiya glanced at her.

With her intelligence, she naturally noticed Minami Utsunomiya's unusual behavior.

Although it was her order to deal with Haruhiko, there was still a difference between sincerity and pretense.

However, Mina Utsunomiya did not make it clear.

She had a contract with Minami Utsunomiya.

No matter how much she jumps around, she can't escape her grasp.

But be afraid of anything unexpected.

Mina Utsunomiya could only remain wary in her heart.

After all, she does need Minami Utsunomiya to share the firepower right now.

"Go make another bowl."

Haruhiko ate half of it but still felt hungry, so he gave the order.

"Ok."

Minami Utsunomiya casually pulled up her pajamas, got up, and went to the kitchen.

Not long after, another bowl of ramen arrived.

This time it's not pork bone, but seafood.
