Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Hoshino Rin didn't say anything more.

Haruhiko and Yukihime returned to Tokyo University via the teleportation array.

They still lived in Nanyuan.

As for the seventh restricted area, it has not yet been renovated and is temporarily uninhabitable.

Haruhiko has already contacted the Utsunomiya clan to do it.

Before long, new houses appeared.

Then they won't have to stay in Nanyuan anymore, and they can go to their real home.

"You seem to be having a pretty good time out there."

Yukihime opened the door, stood in the entryway, looked at Haruhiko, and suddenly said.

"..."

Haruhiko's heart tightened.

Why did we bring this up?

"I'll take off your shoes."

Haruhiko quickly changed the subject.

Yukihime readily lifted her foot.

She took off her shoes, revealing her jade-like feet encased in black stockings.

The black stockings were very thin, and you could vaguely see the fair instep and rounded toes.

Yukihime's lips curled up slightly, a hint of pride and smugness in her expression.

No matter how many female confidantes she has outside, she can still easily control Qingyan at home.

"come in."

Yuki stepped onto the carpet and entered the living room.

"Owner."

Qingning jumped off the sofa, walked up to him, and greeted him.

Having inexplicably escaped a calamity, Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief, patted the little girl's head, and felt as if he had come back to life.

Seeing the lime reminded him of Izumi.

This guy was so frightened in the Takamagahara Ruins that he hid in the Shikigami Space.

Haruhiko took out a talisman, casually tossed it aside, and a burst of spiritual energy appeared, revealing Izumi.

"Wow!"

Izumi exclaimed excitedly, "Finally home!"

For her, the Takamagahara Ruins were pure torture, filled with high-level psionicists.

Ultimately, however, it's because her strength is relatively weak.

As a tsukumogami, its advancement is indeed slower than that of other yokai.

Haruhiko didn't expect her to do anything; the skill of nurturing swords was enough.

Sitting on the sofa, he took out his phone and sent a message to Tsuchimikado Mari, telling her about Akashi.

"Bring the two broken swords over tomorrow, and I'll repair them for you."

He received a reply, which took less than a minute.

"Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko immediately typed a message to express his gratitude.

"You are welcome."

Tsuchimikado Mari then added another line of text: "There's another surprise tomorrow."

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

Some rather inappropriate images popped into my mind again.

He shook his head; it shouldn't be that kind of surprise.

For him, it had happened too many times already, so it wasn't a surprise anymore.

what is it then?

To be honest, Haruhiko was somewhat looking forward to it.

After the chat ended, he had nothing else to do for the time being.

He looked at Jinguji Fuyumi standing to the side.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a few days, Haruhiko always felt like she was sitting on the sofa.

Jinguji Fuyumi noticed his gaze.

She got up and nestled her petite white fox body onto his lap.

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, but then he didn't stand on ceremony and helped her soothe her fur.

I wonder when Jinguji Fuyumi will get another chance to give him some guidance?

It has been a long time since I was last verbally reprimanded by her.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Because Haruhiko has indeed been quite busy lately.

They're either cultivating or in the ruins.

Next, there might be a little time.

After the entrance to the underworld opens, he plans to stay there permanently with Yukihime and Jinguji Fuyumi.

With the help of two fifth-tier psionicists, clearing out the alien demons and acquiring more psionic points shouldn't be a big problem.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly realized that the white fox on his thigh had disappeared, and he was slightly taken aback.

Jinguji Fuyu jumped off the sofa, her eyes watery, and stared at him.

Haruhiko recalled what he had just done.

Oh, I accidentally touched its tail.

Even in white fox form, the tail is still untouchable.

Haruhiko was about to apologize, but Jinguji Fuyumi had already turned around and gone back to her room.

He scratched his head; he wasn't angry, but probably a little embarrassed.

After lunch, Haruhiko resumed his training.

He doesn't have much to do right now, but he can't just sit idle.

If they find the Yamata no Orochi, there will be another fierce battle.

Even a severely injured god is more powerful than a fifth-tier psychic.

Haruhiko had no confidence whatsoever.

To play it safe, he thought he could collect all nine swords of the God-Slaying Sword before going to find the Yamata no Orochi.

The problem is that he doesn't know the location of the other swords.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

The only solution is the Spirit Tool: The Tale of the Moon God.

But he doesn't have time to wander the world; it's best to entrust him to a trusted psychic.

But who to give it to, I need to think about it carefully.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration: perhaps he could get Minami Utsunomiya to help him.

Because she can fly.

That would save even more time compared to other fourth-tier psionicists.

However, she and Mina Utsunomiya are currently in the Takamagahara Ruins, so we'll discuss this matter after she comes out.

a new day.

Haruhiko was awakened.

A tingling, numb sensation spread throughout my body.

He opened his eyes and saw Jinguji Fuyumi's long pink hair.

My mind went blank for a moment.

what's the situation?

Where is Yukihime?

Before Haruhiko could think any further, he gasped in shock.
