Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Spiritual veins are usually located deep in the mountains and rivers, in relatively remote locations.

On the bus, Koji Nishimura made the assignments.

Haruhiko and Tachibana Yui are heading to the Hiki Kita Hills in Saitama Prefecture.

Or it could be called Musashi Hill Forest Park.

Spanning three million square meters, the park features vast natural forests and is dotted with forty-one lakes and marshes.

It contains a huge spiritual vein.

It is worth mentioning that it belongs to the Utsunomiya clan.

People kept getting off the bus along the way.

There were very few left by the time they reached Saitama Prefecture.

However, there are quite a few buses.

There were about twenty students observing this sacred vein in the Musashi Hills Forest Park.

The teacher in charge of safety was Koji Nishimura.

“Our area is a natural forest in the north.”

Haruhiko, holding the map, said, "Let's go."

46.Chapter 46 Utsunomiya clan

Natural forests refer to forests that have maintained their natural state.

It has not been developed or utilized.

Furthermore, the existence of spiritual veins makes it even less likely for people to venture deep into them.

Unless permitted by special permission.

Haruhiko and Tachibana Yui arrived at this dense forest.

Not far away, there is a winding lake that glistens in the sunlight.

"What a rich spiritual energy."

Haruhiko couldn't help but sigh.

A breeze composed of spiritual energy gently blew through the depths of the forest.

It's the kind of feeling that makes you feel refreshed after just one breath.

The concentration was at least three times higher than in other places.

"This isn't very strong."

Tachibana Yui casually said, "We haven't entered the spiritual vein yet; it's just the spiritual energy leaking out."

Haruhiko increasingly understood the importance the Imperial Palace placed on spiritual veins.

He thought to himself that it was indeed not easy for an ordinary psychic to stand at the top of this Japan where bloodlines were solidified.

"What is your name?"

Ahead, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Imperial Palace appeared.

Behind him was a strange device.

This reminded Haruhiko of the oil well from his previous life.

"Haruhiko and Tachibana Yui, students at the University of Tokyo Affiliated High School."

He introduced himself as instructed by Koji Nishimura.

"Hold on."

The middle-aged man took out his phone, compared the information, and said, "No problem, you can go now."

Haruhiko went forward and found an elevator at the wellhead.

“Put on a mask.”

The middle-aged man cautioned, "The deeper you go, the thicker the spiritual energy becomes, which can cause the spiritual energy within your body to go out of control."

Upon hearing this, Haruhiko and Tachibana Yui put on masks.

As the middle-aged man pressed the button, the elevator slowly descended.

About ten minutes later, the door opened.

Haruhiko's eyes lit up.

A white, jade-like spiritual vein was embedded in the soil, with only half of it visible.

He reached out and touched it; it felt icy cold.

Tachibana's expression was thoughtful, lacking Haruhiko's surprise and curiosity.

Because her family has a spiritual vein.

She had already heard about the riot in the spiritual veins of Arakawa Ward.

However, since it did not involve the Tsuchimikado clan, she ignored it.

Now that she was already here, she became somewhat interested and wanted to know the reason.

After all, there aren't many situations that can cause a spiritual vein to erupt.

"We are currently at the source of this spiritual vein."

Tachibana Yui pointed to the right and said, "The lake we saw earlier is at the end."

"Is the venous vein turmoil caused by someone using it?"

Haruhiko knew that with her abilities, she definitely knew more than he did, so he took the initiative to ask the questions.

"Most likely yes."

Tachibana Yui nodded and said, "Spirit veins are essentially aggregates of massive amounts of spiritual energy."

"Large-scale magic array."

Haruhiko said in a deep voice, "No one can directly utilize such a massive amount of spiritual energy unless they use a magic array."

A magic circle can be considered an amplifier or a transfer station.

If the human body cannot withstand something, then there is no problem if there is a magic array as a medium.

"Gods might be able to, but the possibility is almost nonexistent."

Tachibana Yui looked into the deep passage and said, "Then let's look for any remaining magic arrays."

"I don't think there's much hope."

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Since that person has this ability, he will definitely erase all traces."

"brat."

Tachibana Yui suddenly broke into a smug smile. She put her hands on her hips, her lips curled up, and said, "Let me teach you a lesson today!"

"Don't call me little guy."

Haruhiko raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

Tachibana Yui was stunned.

She could have avoided it.

But because she thought he was going to pat her head, she hesitated.

I never expected such an outrageous act.

"You're only eighteen! What else are you but a little kid?!"

Enraged, Tachibana Yui kicked him in the knee.

Because of his height, he couldn't kick any higher.

"I'm not little anymore!"

Haruhiko said emphatically.

Tachibana Yui was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and blushed instantly.

She turned around, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely, "No matter how big you are, I can shrink you down."

Upon hearing this, Haruhiko gasped.

He said softly, "Teacher Wei is right. I will definitely listen carefully today."

This is related to his future happiness.

Seeing that he had given in, Tachibana immediately smiled and waved her hand with great pleasure.

"Then you'd better open your eyes wide!"

As she spoke, she walked forward, extending her finger and tracing the spiritual vein.
