Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko waved his hand and said.

He had used the teleportation array at Izumo Shrine several times and was already familiar with it.

Back at the small villa rented by Hoshino Rin, Haruhiko sent a message to Hoshino Hotaru to soothe her emotions.

Although she didn't care, he couldn't ignore such a well-behaved girl who was devoted to him both physically and mentally.

Hotaru Hoshino was probably chatting and didn't look at her phone, so she didn't reply immediately.

Haruhiko didn't pay any attention and returned to the South Garden.

The door opens automatically.

The next second, he was embraced.

The familiar scents filled the air, and all I could see was a vast expanse of white.

Haruhiko has been in the Takamagahara ruins for three days.

For Yukihime, that was unbearable.

After a long while, Haruhiko left the warm embrace.

He took a deep breath and could still feel the fragrance.

Haruhiko suddenly felt a little hungry.

I want to eat the breakfast that Yukihime prepared: bread and fresh milk.

"Is everything going well?"

Yuki took his hand and led him into the living room.

"It went pretty smoothly."

Suddenly, Haruhiko remembered something and said with a smile, "I'll show you a treasure."

"Oh?"

Yukihime's gaze unconsciously shifted downwards.

Because Haruhiko said that before.

The baby is indeed a baby.

It's just a little bad.

"Look at this sword."

Since the Totsuka Sword couldn't be stored in his spatial ring, Haruhiko hung it on his waist.

Although Yukihime had noticed it before, she hadn't paid any attention to it because Tsuchimikado Mari had used a trick on her.

Haruhiko drew the Totsuka Sword and handed it to her.

"What kind of sword is this?!"

Izumi, who had been watching from a distance, suddenly stepped forward, looking at it excitedly, and said, "So strong!"

As a sword sheath, she was also worldly-wise.

Her own body alone, Izuminokami Kanesada, is a first-rate sword.

But from her perception, this sword was even more terrifying than Izuminokami Kanesada's.

Yuki took it in her hand and raised an eyebrow.

She noticed the illusion above, and with a slight tremor of her spiritual energy, she returned to normal.

Immediately, surprise appeared on her face.

"It is the Totsuka Sword."

Haruhiko smiled and announced the answer.

Upon hearing this, Jinguji Fuyumi, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but raise her head.

There was no way around it; the Totsuka Sword was just too famous.

Throughout Japan, almost every intelligent being has heard of this sword.

"The Totsuka Sword?!"

Izumi suddenly raised her voice, flitting around in front of Haruhiko, and cried out, "Master! Give it to me! This sword!"

As a scabbard, she has an inexplicable obsession with swords.

"I will give it to you."

Haruhiko grasped her soft body and said, "Stop swaying back and forth."

The Ten-Fist Sword cannot be stored in a spatial ring, and carrying it around would be too conspicuous.

It would be too troublesome if Ashiya Dōman and the others found out.

The best solution is to entrust it to Izumi for safekeeping.

"Master, you are so kind!"

Izumi wasn't angry; instead, she kissed his hand.

However, he was immediately glared at by Yukihime.

She became well-behaved again.

"Was it obtained from the ruins?"

Yukihime returned the Totsuka Sword to Haruhiko, somewhat puzzled, "Why did they give it to you?"

Both logically and emotionally, it would be safer for the Tsuchimikado clan or the Izumo Shrine to keep it.

"Aunt Mashiro and Aunt Aoi don't get along, so they've been leaving the place to me for the time being."

Haruhiko released Izumi and handed her the Totsuka Sword.

She opened her mouth and put it into the interior space.

Perhaps because of the scabbard, Totsuka no Tsurugi did not resist this time.

"I see."

Yuki-hime was still not entirely convinced.

The fact that the Totsuka Sword, which is so precious, was given to Haruhiko clearly indicates that it wasn't because of any personal grudges.

She smiled gently; being too popular could also be a troublesome thing.

Fortunately, she is always number one.

"have you eaten?"

Yukihime flicked Izumi with her slender middle finger.

She had just climbed onto Haruhiko's shoulder when she was bounced away and landed on the sofa.

"mean."

Izumi muttered a couple of times, but there was nothing he could do.

Qing Ning smiled gently.

Despite having learned so many lessons, they are still so tenacious.

In a sense, that's quite impressive.

Qingning handed the remote control to Izumi.

She sat obediently on the sofa, waiting to watch.

"You've reached the fourth level?"

Yukihime noticed that his strength had changed.

"Ah."

Haruhiko recounted what happened in the ruins and said, "It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"So, you're already capable of learning fifth-tier spells?"

Yukihime's icy blue eyes flickered slightly, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "I plan to learn Tianquan first, and then learn a few fifth-order spells."

Yukihime knew about Tianquan.

The inherited incantations of the Utsunomiya clan.

“I have a special fifth-order spell.”

As she spoke, Xueji took out a scroll and said, "You can learn from it when you have time."

Haruhiko nodded and opened the scroll with some curiosity.

The text describes a mental spell called "Contract Betrayal".

As the name suggests, it means severing the spiritual contract.
