Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

After the meal, Yukihime cleared away the dishes.

Haruhiko received a message from Hoshino Rin.

This is the content of today's commission.

The level is the second tier.

The location is Mount Ontake in western Tokyo.

It's not about fighting monsters, it's about finding people.

But Haruhiko was not disappointed.

This person is a survivor.

They came out of the ruins of Takamagahara.

Haruhiko was quite interested.

His main goal was to obtain the bamboo of the Heavenly Maiden.

In this way, he can have two professions.

After waiting for a while, Yukihime came out of the kitchen.

"I need to go out and do a commission."

Haruhiko said directly, "I probably won't be back for lunch."

"Ah."

Yukihime didn't react much.

Because Haruhiko would go out every few days to complete commissions.

This is the daily life of a psionicist.

Yukihime had no reason to stop it.

She walked up to Haruhiko and reached out to straighten his clothes.

With her movement, her collar opened slightly.

The scenery is breathtaking.

Haruhiko reluctantly looked away.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Yukihime's face.

She hugged Qingyan, leaned close to his ear, and asked, "Why are you shy?"

Before he could answer, she bit his earlobe, then moved to the corner of his mouth.

The warm, soft touch made Haruhiko instinctively wrap his arms around her waist in response.

After a while, the phone vibrated.

Haruhiko let out a breath, looked at Yukihime's pretty face flushed, and said, "Wait for me to come back."

He left Nanyuan, took a taxi, and headed to Yuyue Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Haruhiko met Hoshino Rin.

She stood in the sunlight, her long black hair shimmering.

However, what's most eye-catching is the black over-the-knee socks under the pleated mini skirt.

Pale gold stars are arranged on both sides, extending from the thighs to the ankles.

Haruhiko took another curious look.

Hoshino Rin noticed his gaze and subconsciously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her delicate skin slightly flushed.

"cold."

Haruhiko stepped forward, returning to the main topic, and asked, "What's the deal with that Hidaka Yuki?"

"In order to develop the Takamagahara ruins, the Imperial Palace established a department called the Edo Archaeological Bureau."

Hoshino Rin revealed information that had not been disclosed before: "Edo, which is the old name for Tokyo."

"Is Hidaka Yuki a member of the Edo Archaeological Bureau?"

Haruhiko asked thoughtfully.

"The Takamagahara Ruins are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Palace and are not controlled by any family."

Hoshino Rin nodded and explained, "Applicants for the Edo Archaeological Bureau need the approval of half of the members of the Psionic Council, but in reality, this department has been infiltrated by various families. Hidaka Yuki is an undercover agent from Izumo Shrine."

Haruhiko couldn't help but show his surprise.

There's a lot more to this than meets the eye.

Most people can't grasp it.

But he has cheat codes and a powerful backer, so it's worth a try.

“Hidaka Yuki grew up at Izumo Shrine.”

Hoshino Rin said with a puzzled tone, "Logically speaking, she wouldn't betray us. There must be some hidden reason."

"So that's why you took on this commission yourself?"

Haruhiko suddenly realized and asked.

"Ah."

Hoshino Rin admitted it.

She remembered how easily Omiya Naotsune had found the sewers with Haruhiko last time, so she called him over.

Of course, she also wanted to spend time alone with him.

“If Hidaka Yuki is a survivor, then she must have accomplices. Can the two of us manage on our own?”

Haruhiko wasn't worried about finding someone skilled in ventriloquism, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to beat them.

"It's not just the two of us."

Hoshino Rin smiled and said, "There is also a psychic who is secretly protecting me. She will take action if I encounter danger."

Chapter 62 Qualification for Transformation

"The Takamagahara ruins can only be accessed via an elevator built by the Imperial Palace."

As Hoshino Rin walked up the mountain, she explained, "Survivors who want to leave must use spatial magic to be randomly teleported."

Haruhiko nodded slightly; Tsuchimikado Mari had already told him similar information before.

He looked around and asked, "Is Hidaka Yoshiki still on Mount Ontake?"

"Here I am."

Hoshino Rin explained softly, "She has a special spiritual artifact that can pinpoint her location."

Haruhiko was immediately puzzled.

Since the location can be determined, why should we carry out the commission together?

"But the spirit artifact was destroyed yesterday."

Hoshino Rin continued, "Fortunately, we completed the deployment around Mount Ontake in time, and so far we have not seen any suspicious persons."

Haruhiko understood immediately and asked, "Is the place we're going to now the location where the spirit tool last appeared?"

"Ah."

Hoshino Rin looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you with your special spell to help me find people then."

"I will try my best."

Haruhiko didn't finish his sentence.

If there isn't a single animal around, there's nothing he can do.

He suddenly remembered the spiritual phenomenon that Tsuchimikado Mari had mentioned.

Why didn't Hidaka Yuki die?

Izumo Shrine likely has its own methods for handling this.

Haruhiko was also curious about what Hidaka Yuki had taken from the Takamagahara ruins.

It must be quite valuable.

But since it wasn't his responsibility, he didn't ask.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at a small grove of trees.

There is also a fence under construction not far away.

Mount Ontake is second only to Mount Fuji in terms of fame and height in Japan.

There are many tourists even on weekdays.
