Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Theoretically speaking, anyone who learns the language of the serpent god must be a follower of Yamata no Orochi, and the possibility of betrayal is almost nonexistent.

So let's assume that it wasn't Haruhiko and his group who entered the ruins, but rather the actual members of the Serpent Spirit.

By falling into the illusion and experiencing Ashiya Doman's life, one can develop a sense of identification.

This is a fantastic screening mechanism that can identify loyal subordinates.

Of course, this is just Haruhiko's guess.

However, he had a new idea for breaking the illusion.

If it's a test, then it means it's not a dead end; as long as you complete it, you can get out.

It seems we need to think of a solution for tomorrow's situation.

His only advantage is that he can still use the spells he carries.

Moreover, it is based on the strength of a fifth-tier psionicist.

As long as the output of psionic energy is sufficient, a first-tier spell can also achieve the effect of a fifth-tier spell.

This is the power of a fifth-tier psionicist.

Of course, using normal fifth-order spells will reduce psionic energy consumption and be more effective.

Besides that, Haruhiko has another major advantage.

He is a swordsman.

Ashiya Dōman was an Onmyoji, and others thought so too.

What Onmyoji fears most is being approached by others.

But Haruhiko could do the opposite, and by taking things by surprise, he might produce unexpected results.

Night fell, and a cold wind blew in through the window.

Judging from the temperature, it should be autumn at this time.

Haruhiko sighed.

He can't sleep.

It's not that they're picky about the bed, but rather about the people.

In the past, when he slept, he was either with Yukihime or Tsuchimikado Mari beside him.

It smells nice and is soft, which is very helpful for falling asleep.

Since he doesn't have any now, he naturally suffers from insomnia.

Only after leaving Yukihime and the others did Haruhiko understand what it meant to cherish.

I wonder what they are doing at this moment, and whether they are also trapped in an illusion.

But they were probably all very anxious.

Haruhiko was still aware of his place in their hearts.

They are not afraid of danger, but they are worried about his safety.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

Haruhiko had tried before, but his original spiritual tools and talismans were no longer usable.

Even fifth-tier spiritual artifacts such as the Illusionary Butterfly and the Three Goddess Scepters are no exception.

But what about the title?

He has five titles.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the player's spawn point.

Is the weekly teleportation to Inari Shrine still available?

Haruhiko immediately sat up.

Titles are divided into two categories.

First, there are passive titles, such as "King of the Isohime," which take effect without needing to be triggered.

Secondly, there are proactive titles, such as the player's spawn point.

There is a defined process for using active titles.

In other words, if there is uncertainty, it will not have any effect.

With a thought, Haruhiko noticed a confirmation button pop up on the game panel.

In other words, the player's spawn point is usable.

Haruhiko immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This means he has a backup plan.

If you cannot break the illusion, you can teleport away from your player spawn point.

Haruhiko thought for a moment and decided to wait until tomorrow's business was finished before making a decision.

If it still can't be broken by then, then I won't be so attached to it anymore.

He was worried about Tsuchimikado Mari and the others.

What should I do if I encounter danger?

Haruhiko closed his eyes again, and probably because he no longer had any worries, he fell asleep easily this time.

a new day.

He was awakened by the knocking on the door.

"The Way is complete."

It is the sound of Yuan Neng.

"What is it? Has the identity arranged by Lord Xianguang been settled?"

Haruhiko put on his clothes, opened the door, and asked.

"No."

Yuan Neng smiled and said, "I'm calling you to eat breakfast."

Haruhiko became somewhat interested.

Breakfast a thousand years ago probably wasn't something like ramen anymore, right?

He followed Yuan Neng to the room next door.

Miao Yan was already waiting.

Haruhiko glanced around and realized that there were only the three of them.

Did Fujiwara no Akimitsu have any other Onmyoji under his command?

Or perhaps they all went to Fujiwara no Michinaga's place.

That makes sense when you think about it.

Abe no Seimei was not only the most powerful Onmyoji, but he also had the most powerful Onmyoji family behind him.

Furthermore, Fujiwara no Michinaga now holds a high position of power and has a more promising future than Fujiwara no Akimitsu.

As an Onmyoji, it goes without saying who to serve.

Haruhiko sat down at the dining table, and soon a maid appeared to bring out the dishes.

He looked at the breakfast in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Umeboshi, boiled beans and yakisoba.

This is even worse than ramen.

Haruhiko began to doubt the status of the three of them in Fujiwara Akimitsu's heart.

Just then, Miao Yan's words left him speechless.

"This is a privilege usually reserved for generals."

Haruhiko suddenly realized that the era they lived in was extremely poor.

He didn't notice the difference when he used the Gale character before, but now that he's switched to an immersive time travel mode, he can experience the difference in eras.

Dried plums are salty dried fruit made from cooked green plums.

It is indeed a traditional Japanese food.

Haruhiko picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth.

The taste was so-so, but not exactly delicious.

Breakfast is over.

With nothing else to do, Haruhiko sat to the side and watched Enneng and Myoen spar.

Enono and Ashiya Doman are fifth-tier Onmyoji, while Myoen is a fourth-tier Onmyoji.

The sparring between Onmyoji is originally based on shikigami, but the sparring between master and apprentice is somewhat different.
