Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Yuki smiled and said.

For hot pot, you can buy any ingredients, so she doesn't have to worry about anything and just takes a little of everything.

The two paid the bill and returned to the Seventh Forbidden Zone.

Although eating hot pot with fewer people lacks atmosphere, Haruhiko still understands that it's a meal with unique significance.

Calling someone again would disrupt the intended atmosphere.

After lunch, the two returned to the underworld.

The most important thing now is to find clues about Yamata no Orochi and Haruhiko's parents.

To their late return, Tsuchimikado Mashiro could only angrily blow off her veil.

She couldn't say anything right now.

Haruhiko threw himself back into leveling up, and his spiritual energy level rose rapidly.

However, this period of peace was short-lived, as the demons could no longer tolerate the rampant slaughter by the various powers.

Sunday.

Haruhiko returned to the camp and found a large number of wounded soldiers.

It belongs to Daiten Shrine.

At this moment, many people are casting healing spells.

"Auntie Mashiro".

Haruhiko leaned closer and asked, "Did they encounter a fifth-tier Otherworldly Demon?"

Although the Great Temple does not have any fifth-tier psychics, as one of the sixteen members of the Psychic Council, its influence is naturally not weak.

Theoretically speaking, even ordinary fifth-tier psionicists wouldn't dare to provoke them.

"It's an ambush."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said in a deep voice, "Under the leadership of that fifth-tier demon named Kyusaku, the Ōten Shrine suffered heavy damage."

Haruhiko frowned.

This is going to be troublesome.

The thing the Great Palace fears most is that the Otherworldly Demons will attack each other.

It seems that Kyusaku and the other demons have finally realized what was happening.

Even though they look down on low-level alien demons, they are still one of their own.

"How is it now?"

Haruhiko asked.

“There are quite a few fifth-tier demons in the Yellow Springs. If we let them run rampant like they do today, it will only lead to us being defeated one by one.”

Tsuchimikado Mashiro slowly said, "Either we attack together, or we go straight to the Yellow Springs."

Haruhiko nodded silently.

That group of highly mobile fifth-tier alien demons poses a significant threat.

The best approach is to launch a full-scale offensive.

Fortunately, Haruhiko has recently earned enough spirit points.

It's not far from the fifth stage; it's just a matter of time.

Besides, if we launch a full-scale offensive, we can still make quite a bit of money.

"We'll discuss the specifics at the call-up meeting later, and everyone can vote."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro added, "You should participate too."

"Ok."

Haruhiko definitely wouldn't miss it.

"I haven't asked you yet, have you found the Nine Swords of Godslaying?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced at Yukihime not far away.

Her smile was somewhat glaring.

Because this smile carries a meaning that is more difficult to explain than before.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro feels even gentler.

Actually, calling it gentle isn't quite right either.

Regardless of what it was, Tsuchimikado Mashiro felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Found."

Haruhiko didn't hide anything and said, "It's the sixth sword of the Nine Swords of Godslaying, called Blazing Fire. As for its effect, it's very suitable for Mari-nee."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro roughly understood what the skill was.

It is related to fire.

"Where's Mari-neechan?"

Haruhiko looked around but didn't see Tsuchimikado Mari.

"She has left the underworld."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro explained, "If we are to launch a decisive battle, we still don't have enough fifth-tier psychics."

It turns out they went to ask for outside help.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

What other fifth-order psionicists exist among humans?

Given Tsuchimikado Mari's identity, it's possible that not only humans, but also yokai will participate in the battle.

After all, the demons don't care about humans or monsters; they are all enemies.

"take a break."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro sighed and said, "The treatment work won't be finished anytime soon."

Normally, for competitive reasons, she might be happy to see the loss of the Great Shrine.

But now is the time for us to work together, and she is also the nominal rotating chairperson.

Theoretically speaking, she should be held responsible.

Haruhiko nodded.

Although he possesses healing spells, so many psychics don't need his help.

It would be better to use this time for more self-cultivation.

Besides cultivating his skills, he also had to create talismans.

As the Yamata no Orochi drew ever closer, he sensed that Tsuchimikado Mashiro needed his help.

But the prerequisite is that you are a fifth-tier spellcaster.

That evening, Tsuchimikado Mashiro sent someone to inform him of a meeting.

The location is right in the middle of the camp.

Everyone stands during the meeting.

"There's only one thing to do today."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro cut to the chase, saying, "The demons' counterattack has already begun. Given this situation, we need to change our strategy. I suggest we join forces and head directly to the Land of the Dead to resolve this once and for all."

After she finished speaking, the others exchanged glances.

Some people hesitated for a moment, but others agreed immediately.

For a moment, things seemed chaotic.

"Raise your hands if you agree."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro used the simplest method.

Soon, half of the votes passed.

"I have already sent Mari to inform the Demon Alliance."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro paused for a moment, then said, "Just in case, everyone can also notify the fifth-tier psionicists in their respective factions."
