Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Hotaru Hoshino reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "Just let me hold you like this."

She had just finished fighting that morning and didn't want to move now.

Haruhiko shared the same thought.

Moreover, he has to meet Tsuchimikado Mari that night.

But before that, I need to call Yukihime.

Haruhiko wasn't sure if she would agree.

It's good that they disagree; it saves us from a bloody battle.

time flies.

The midday sun gradually began to set.

Hotaru Hoshino opened her eyes.

Because it was quite comfortable, she fell asleep immediately.

I'm in good spirits now, it's time to get things done.

Hotaru Hoshino released Haruhiko, stood in front of him, and leaned down to kiss his lips.

"I'm going back to Izumo Shrine. See you next time."

"Ah."

After watching her leave, Qingyan got up and stretched.

Although Hotaru Hoshino wasn't heavy, holding him for so long had made his body a little sore.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

Half past three in the afternoon.

Haruhiko dialed Yukihime's number.

He was stunned before he could even speak.

"Not coming back tonight?"

Yukihime said calmly.

Does this thing have mind-reading abilities?

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and told the truth: "Mari-neechan asked me to go there tonight."

"do you want to go?"

Instead of answering directly, Yukihime asked a question.

What kind of death problem is this?

But Tsuchimikado Mari is far away, while Yukihime is right in front of her. There's no need to hesitate when answering.

"I'll stay here with you."

"Little clever devil."

Yukihime suddenly laughed.

Haruhiko heard her laughter and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whatever the reason, we got through it at least.

"Go ahead."

Yukihime softened her tone and said, "So that your sister Mari won't think I'm a petty person."

Haruhiko was stunned.

So it was just jealousy?

He suddenly remembered the phone call from Tsuchimikado Mari that morning.

She mostly made the calls at home.

Come back early tomorrow.

Yuki ended the call.

Haruhiko subconsciously touched his forehead to remove non-existent sweat.

A battlefield of carnage is truly terrifying.

Fortunately, they were monsters.

Monsters have different concepts and ways of thinking than humans.

Haruhiko was certain that if all the women he liked were human, there would be a terrifying battleground.

At that time, he would feel like he was sitting on pins and needles every day.

It's better now, as only Hoshino Rin and Tsuchimikado Mashiro are human.

However, according to Hoshino Hotaru, the former cannot be considered purely human either.

Haruhiko called Tsuchimikado Mari again.

"What? Your Yukihime rejected you?"

As soon as the call connected, I heard this sentence.

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

His guess turned out to be correct.

She and Yukihime must have met in the morning.

Given their personalities, they will most likely be involved with themselves.

"She agreed. If you're free now, come pick me up."

Haruhiko said with a smile.

"She actually agreed?"

Mari Tsuchimikado's voice was filled with surprise.

Under normal circumstances, Yukihime would never push Haruhiko away.

Is this a sign of weakness?

Mari Tsuchimikado shook her head.

She was already going head-to-head with Yukihime when she was at the fourth level, so there's no reason for her to back down now that she's at the fifth level.

After a moment's thought, she had a guess.

This was to show her magnanimity and, incidentally, to deepen her position in Haruhiko's heart.

After all, few men can resist a gentle and understanding woman.

Especially since Yukihime is so beautiful.

Mari Tsuchimikado gave a soft snort.

This time, she lost quite decisively.

But it's all good, since we've finally gained the right to use Haruhiko.

But then she thought about how Yukihime spent almost every night with him, which made her even more unhappy.

"Where are you?"

Tsuchimikado Mari's mood disappeared quickly.

As a thousand-year-old demon, she naturally wouldn't be as petty as a little girl.

If you lose this time, try again next time.

Anyway, it was quite interesting.

Throughout Tsuchimikado Mari's life, she has always been a winner and rarely encounters an opponent.

"At the South Campus of the University of Tokyo."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then said.

This is, after all, the place where Hoshino Rin rents her place.

If he tells the truth, Tsuchimikado Mari will definitely tease him again.

Since it's not far from home, I'll just say it's in Nanyuan.

"Alright, wait for me."

Mari Tsuchimikado had no suspicions and ended the call.

Haruhiko got up, walked to the door, and took out his key to lock it.

This key was given to me by Hoshino Rin before.

That is, after two people have established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

In her words, it would make it easier for him to use the teleportation array to go to Izumo Shrine.
