Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Is she here to take me home?

In that case, Haruhiko would inevitably offend Tsuchimikado Mari.

He dared not imagine what would happen if he left this female CEO alone in her room for one night.

In short, they will die a very ugly death.

"I just came here not long ago."

Yukihime smiled and asked, "Aren't you welcoming me?"

"Of course you'll be welcome."

Haruhiko quickly said, "I'm just a little surprised."

"Okay."

Yuki took his hand and led him into the bathtub, saying, "I'll help you take a bath."

In the room on the second floor.

Marie Tsuchimikado, who was reading a book, suddenly frowned.

Undisguised sounds came from the bathroom.

She instinctively gripped the book tighter.

This woman is absolutely outrageous!

I finally managed to come back, and she still wants to cause trouble.

My good mood vanished instantly.

Tsuchimikado Mari put down her book, went downstairs, came to the bathroom, and pushed open the door.

Haruhiko trembled in fright.

But Yukihime remained unchanged, and even glanced at Tsuchimikado Mari.

Her face was flushed, and her hazy eyes held a hint of provocation.

Tsuchimikado Mari bit her lower lip, exuding a cold aura.

It's simply too much of a lie.

She joined the battle without hesitation.

For a time, things were in complete chaos.

Haruhiko felt as if he were on Ice and Fire Island.

It's cold one minute and hot the next.

He jumps back and forth at the gates of the underworld repeatedly; even Yama, the King of Hell, would say he's lucky.

The night was long, seemingly endless.

Haruhiko didn't know when he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

He stared at the ceiling, feeling utterly drained of energy.

You reap what you sow.

Haruhiko shook his head.

It shouldn't have been like this, but things turned out differently than he expected.

Facing the pincer attack from two fifth-tier demons, he suffered a crushing defeat.

There was a knock on the door.

Haruhiko turned his head.

There was a graceful figure by the door.

A slender waist, a puffy nightgown, and long, shapely legs.

"are you awake?"

Tsuchimikado Mari stepped forward.

Haruhiko smelled a faint fragrance.

"What time is it now?"

He yawned, slumped on the bed, and still didn't want to move.

It's already eleven o'clock.

Tsuchimikado Mari leaned down, her rosy lips pressed against his, and asked, "Want me to give you some motivation?"

Haruhiko, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and kissed her directly.

He embraced the soft body, and the straps of the nightgown slipped down, revealing more of her snow-white skin.

"Okay."

Tsuchimikado Mari stood up again and said, "I should go back to the Takamagahara Ruins. If I don't leave soon, the entrance will disappear."

"Then you go first."

Haruhiko waved his hand and said.

Logically speaking, Tsuchimikado Mari should have left much earlier in the morning.

She probably waited three or four hours longer because of herself, and she didn't even wake him up halfway through.

Actually, there's no need for it.

Of course, Haruhiko was still very touched.

"see you later."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled faintly, turned and left.

Although it might seem like a waste of time to outsiders, she didn't think so.

Haruhiko closed his eyes again.

A few seconds later, he felt a weight on his body, and the familiar touch told him who it was.

"Get up and eat."

Yuki flicked his forehead with her finger.

Haruhiko suddenly couldn't bear to think about how she and Tsuchimikado Mari had managed to get along safely for the entire morning.

"Then get up first."

He looked down and his gaze immediately plummeted into the abyss.

Yuki smiled softly and left his embrace.

Breakfast is ready.

After washing up, Haruhiko sat down at the dining table.

He picked up his chopsticks and slurped up the tonkotsu ramen in one go.

I stayed up all night last night and used up a lot of energy.

He didn't eat breakfast today, and now it's noon, so he's really starving.

Yuki had anticipated this, so she went to the kitchen and brought out another bowl of tonkotsu ramen.

Haruhiko ate three large bowls of food and was finally full.

"I'll go home after I finish washing the dishes."

As Yukihime cleared the table, she said casually.

In her view, this was clearly not her and Haruhiko's home.

Although Nanen belongs to the University of Tokyo, it feels like home because it holds so many memories for me.

Furthermore, the fact that Yukihime would think of Tsuchimikado Mari here made her somewhat dissatisfied.

Especially last night, when I was vying for control with her, she felt a sense of discontinuity.

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded.

There's no point in him staying here since neither Tsuchimikado Mari nor Tsuchimikado Mashiro are here.

Unless he goes to find Tachibana Yui.

However, she is currently unconscious, just like a doll.

After waiting for a while, Haruhiko and Yukihime returned to the South Campus of Tokyo University.

He began to diligently cultivate again.

Meanwhile, the ruins of Takamagahara.

Ashiya Dōman took a deep breath.
