Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Tsuchimikado Mashiro raised an eyebrow.

It seems there really is a way.

She and Haruhiko actually shared the same idea.

Izumo Shrine controls the first forbidden zone, so there must be secrets related to the Otherworldly Demons.

That fifth-tier demon is hard to find, but what about another fifth-tier demon?

I can't give you a definite answer either.

Hoshino Aoi looked up and said, "I'll contact you again in a while."

"Well."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood up and said, "The most urgent task is to find a sufficiently large ruin on the fifth floor and then disguise it."

"This is not difficult."

Hoshino Aoi nodded slightly and said, "I will instruct the Izumo Shrine staff at the Takamagahara ruins to meet up with you later."

Due to the limitations imposed by the Edo Archaeological Bureau, each faction could only have a maximum of thirty people.

It looks like a lot, but compared to the vast fifth floor, it's just a drop in the ocean.

The best solution is cooperation.

Not only has the number of people increased, but the overall strength and security have also improved.

"Ah."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at Haruhiko and said, "That's settled then. Contact me if anything comes up."

She turned and left after she finished speaking, without staying behind.

Hoshino Aoi did not try to stop him.

Haruhiko and Hoshino Aoi exchanged a glance.

They sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not harmonious.

But the results are good.

The cooperation agreement has been reached.

Perhaps this could even improve their relationship.

Just then, Hoshino Hotaru's figure appeared not far away.

"firefly."

Hoshino Rin immediately stood up, walked up to her, and asked, "Where did you go?"

“I am cultivating at Mount Yakumo.”

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved silently as she spoke.

Yakumo-zan is the high mountain behind Izumo Shrine.

"Don't go so far next time."

Hoshino Rin gently ruffled her hair, then suddenly paused, asking, "Why didn't you dry your hair?"

"forget."

Hotaru Hoshino spoke the truth.

After she woke up, she took a shower because of the strong smell.

But wanting to see Haruhiko as soon as possible, she rushed over.

"But it doesn't matter."

Hoshino Rin waved her hand, and spiritual energy covered her hair.

Psychic power is omnipotent. Although using it to blow-dry hair seems wasteful, it's nothing when it comes to my sister.

Hotaru Hoshino lowered her head, her eyes glancing at Haruhiko out of the corner of her eye.

However, because Hoshino Rin was blocking the view, the whole picture couldn't be seen.

Not long after, her hair became dry and smooth again.

"Okay."

Hoshino Rin smiled and ruffled her hair again.

"firefly."

Hoshino Aoi suddenly spoke up, saying, "I need to talk to you. Come with me."

"Mother mother..."

Hoshino Rin blinked, somewhat puzzled.

What could possibly keep her away from?

"You don't need to come along."

Hoshino Aoi didn't explain and turned to leave.

"what's the situation?"

Haruhiko also looked puzzled.

Logically speaking, Hoshino Rin is the most legitimate heir.

You should discuss everything with her, instead of treating her as a henchman.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

Unless this matter is related to Hoshino Hotaru and is highly confidential.

For some reason, Haruhiko thought of the first forbidden zone again.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin smiled again and said, "It's rare for you to come all this way, so I'll show you around."

Haruhiko nodded.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro could simply walk away, but he couldn't.

Besides, running away after only a few minutes is extremely impolite.

As for Hotaru Hoshino, we can ask her when she returns.

What if she's willing to tell me?

The rear shrine of Izumo Shrine is where the shrine maidens live.

It is also the residence of Hoshino Aoi's family.

At this moment, in the study.

“You weren’t here before, so you missed the news that Tsuchimikado Mashiro brought.”

Hoshino Aoi repeated the story exactly as it was told.

"You want me to track down that demonic being?"

Hotaru Hoshino tilted her head and asked.

"Ah."

Hoshino Aoi nodded and said, "If that doesn't work, then help me determine whether a few people are demons."

As she spoke, she produced a list, which contained the names of the heads of the fifteen major families of the Great Palace.

Apart from her and Tsuchimikado Mashiro, everyone else was there.

I'll tell you in a few days.

Hotaru Hoshino stepped forward, took the list, and said.

After she left, Hoshino Aoi sighed.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Hopefully, it's not because of that suddenly appearing eighth fifth-tier demon that the Izumo Shrine is affected.

Haruhiko had actually already visited Izumo Shrine.

I mainly chatted with Hoshino Rin.

He left Izumo Shrine at noon.

He refused Hoshino Rin's offer to see him off because Hoshino Hotaru had secretly sent him a message.

Tell him to go to the rented villa to see her.

It's probably because of the conversation with Hoshino Aoi.

To be honest, Haruhiko was actually quite interested.
