Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

No need to be so stiff.

As a Jorogumo who has lived for hundreds of years, she is still very clever.

He knows how to please Yukihime and Haruhiko.

Besides, losing the spider silk is better than losing one's life.

"Thank you."

Ayami regained her senses, struggled to get up, and said.

"You are welcome."

Haruhiko was in a good mood after receiving the benefit.

Although it was a bit tiring, the gains were huge, and I didn't pay any price.

If he could, he would like to come every day.

However, this is impossible.

Ayami was slightly taken aback. Why did he seem even happier than she was?

Could it be that he really wants to mate with me?

Well, it's not impossible.

But with Yukihime present, things are a bit tricky.

Her experience last night was a true narrow escape.

I don't want to go through this again.

As Ayami pondered, she gave Haruhiko a subtle look.

It roughly means I'll wait for you tonight.

Haruhiko didn't notice.

Because he was carefully searching for the spoils.

But found nothing.

They were all destroyed in the battle.

The only relatively intact corpse was the toad.

Maybe enough to make a pot of soup?

Oh wait, it's too big to fit in one pot.

But Haruhiko doesn't like to eat frogs.

And who knows if it's poisonous?

He turned around and saw Ayami staring intently at him.

"you want?"

Haruhiko pointed to the giant toad and asked.

"I'll trade you something as a reward for your help."

Ayami slightly opened her mouth.

A pink tongue and uvula come into view.

Haruhiko immediately looked puzzled.

The next second, a perfectly round sphere, visible to the naked eye, emerged from her throat and was eventually caught by her teeth.

It looks very much like a pearl, and is quite white.

Ayami pinched it and handed it to Haruhiko.

It was slightly damp when it landed in my hand.

【Name: Abalone Pearl】

[Rank: Third Rank]

It really is a pearl?

Haruhiko glanced at it twice and asked, "What's it for?"

"I'm not entirely sure."

Ayami paused for a moment, then said, "But when it's inside me, I can feel my psionic energy circulating faster."

Haruhiko thought to himself, "This is good stuff."

This is far more valuable than the corpse of a giant toad.

But he couldn't just swallow it like Ayami did.

The best way is to embed it into a spirit tool.

"If there's nothing else, let's say goodbye."

Haruhiko had already noticed Yukihime's dissatisfaction.

The main reason is that Ayami's actions just now were a bit inappropriate for children.

I always felt like she was tempting me.

In fact, it is true.

Ayami's gaze fell on his face, and she said earnestly, "The door here will always be open to you."

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

Where is the main entrance to this cave?

Could there be a back door on the other side?

Haruhiko nodded and returned to the Inari Shrine with Yukihime.

Thanks to the contributions of the giant toad and other toads, he can now barely use the Heavenly Fox Eight Thunder God twice.

Their strength has improved tremendously.

"Owner!"

Izumi flew there from a great distance.

Her breathing sounded heavy because she was moving too fast.

Haruhiko grabbed her.

A moment later, he felt his palms sweating.

Is it that hot?

What exactly did you do at home?

Haruhiko was speechless.

However, he didn't have time to play with Izumi.

He needs to restore the spiritual energy within him.

He put Izumi down, sat on the sofa, and began to meditate.

Soon, the temperature in the vicinity dropped, becoming quite comfortable.

It's Yukihime.

She sat in Haruhiko's lap, her eyes closed, her face very peaceful.

Izumi, standing in the distance, looked on with envy but dared not approach.

She now understands why she is close to Haruhiko.

It is because of the body's pure Yang nature.

Night falls.

Haruhiko has recovered to about 70-80%.

"Are you hungry?"

Yukihime's bright red lips were right in front of him.

Haruhiko subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

Before he could answer, Yuki had already pressed herself against him.

A few seconds later, she stood up and said, "You won't be full just from eating this. I'll go make you some food."

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze; the scent of Yukihime still lingered in the air.

He took a breath and then stretched comfortably.

He left the room and went into the courtyard.

It was already dark by this time.

Fortunately, the moonlight was good enough that I wasn't blind.
