I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"I Raised a God in Tokyo" by Chen Xiang Shuan Huoguo

I travel to Tokyo, Japan, and become a priest at a shrine. I look at the shrine, which has no shrine maidens, no worshippers, and no future.

And then there were the docile, ignorant, and weak gods who only knew how to cling to powerful figures. Shiraki Shun could only sigh helplessly and step forward to face the demons and monsters of Tokyo.

"I really like a saying that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said."

"If hell is not empty, then it is not empty."

Chapter 1 Shrines in Arakawa Ward

Minato Ward, Tokyo.

A prestigious school with a long and distinguished history is located here.

Even though the aristocracy has been abolished, many talented individuals from wealthy and prominent families, who may one day shoulder important responsibilities for the nation, still study here.

Shunoin High School is the private high school in Tokyo with the highest deviation score.

Just then, the school bell rang, and students streamed out of the school building.

"Rena-chan, the venue for tonight's get-together has been decided! It's at a sea bream sushi restaurant in Shibuya. Their sauces and ingredients are all top-notch and specially made. I had a hard time getting someone to make a reservation, so we're definitely going to eat our fill this time!"

Inside the classroom, a girl with a yellow hair tie stood by the table, talking excitedly.

The girl named Kokonoe Reina stared blankly at the handsome figure packing his shoulder bag in front of her.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing her companion's absent-minded look, Takanashi Yuri grinned mischievously. She suddenly leaned close to her companion's earlobe and whispered, "So, how about we ask Shiraki-kun to come along?"

"Huh?" Kokonoe Reina snapped back to reality, her fair face turning bright red. "Yuri-chan! What are you saying?"

"Hmph, maybe Shiraki is the kind of chauvinistic guy who wants to join but is too embarrassed to ask, so he can only hope that Rena-chan will invite him."

Takanashi Yuri adopted an analytical look, sizing up Kokonoe Rena and remarking, "Besides, with Rena-chan's status as the most beautiful girl in Shunoin, how could Shiraki-kun possibly refuse?"

"Yuri-chan, stop joking around." Kokonoe Reina's tone suddenly turned serious.

"Huh? Rena-chan doesn't want to? I thought you were really looking forward to it," Takanashi Yuri said with a surprised look.

"How could that be?"

Kokonoe Reina shook her head firmly.

"How can such an unimportant event like a social gathering take up Shiraki-kun's precious time?"

A social event with Shiraki-kun?

How could I not be excited!

However, the thought of Shiraki-kun becoming the focus of the matchmaking party and being exposed to the scheming and manipulative women was unbearable for Kokonoe Reina.

Forbidden! Absolutely forbidden!

I, Kokonoe Reina, will protect Shiraki's innocence!

“That’s true.” Takanashi Yuri nodded, expressing her understanding of her companion’s fangirl behavior.

Well, after all, he's a top student whose deviation score has been above 80 for three consecutive exams, and he's the kind of student who's poised to become the eighth legendary figure at Shuu-no-in Academy.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also very self-disciplined, which is a world apart from some spoiled brats in school whose futures have already been arranged by their parents and who spend their days wasting their time.

At the start of last year's school year, he sat quietly under a cherry blossom tree on campus, holding a book in his hands, and watched it all day.

That scene was simply too beautiful.

At that moment, Shiraki Jun, having finished tidying up, passed by the two of them and walked out of the classroom.

Takanashi Yuri wiped away her drool without making a sound.

Shiraki-san, so handsome.

After he left, Takanashi Yuri had a sudden thought and turned to look at her friend.

"In that case, forget about the invitation. But Rena-chan, don't you want to know what Shiraki-san does in her spare time?"

"She's probably studying hard for university-level courses and preparing for international academic competitions," Kokonoe Reina replied without hesitation.

This is in line with Shiraki's image as a top student.

Seeing that her friend wasn't falling for it, Takanashi Yuri blinked and immediately changed her story.

"Rena-chan, aren't you curious about Shiraki-kun's true identity?"

Yes.

Despite his outstanding abilities, Shiraki has never revealed his family background.

However, many people at Shunoin Academy have identities that are not convenient to disclose, so no one ever takes the initiative to ask.

Even though they didn't ask, everyone was still curious.

Having come this far, how could Kokonoe Reina not understand Takanashi Yuri's thoughts?

"Yuri-chan, you're trying to stalk me, isn't that illegal?"

“This is an academic investigation, a study of the ecological environment of the white mulberry tree. How can it be considered illegal?” Yuri Kotori said righteously.

"Since there's still some time before the social event starts, how about we do some research first and then head over?"

"Ah."

At 4:30 pm, the port area is in its busiest time, with people coming and going on the streets.

The area is lined with tall buildings on both sides, creating a very prosperous scene.

Minato Ward is one of the core areas of Tokyo, with a very active economy. It is home to many of Tokyo's famous upscale residential areas, and most of the TV towers are located here.

Takanashi Yuri and Kokonoe Rena secretly followed Shiraki Shun, walking together through the streets of the port area.

The two used roadside billboards to keep dodging, maintaining a distance of about fifty meters, and stealthily followed Bai Mujun.

This strange behavior aroused the vigilance of many passers-by, but after discovering that they were two female high school students, they all showed knowing smiles.

Twenty minutes later, Shiramu Jun stopped in front of a magnificent building.

In front of the grand main entrance, a man in a suit dressed as a manager was already waiting. Upon seeing Bai Mujun arrive, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The two talked as they walked into the building together.

Not far behind, Kokonoe Reina looked up at the gleaming silver inverted triangle logo on the building and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yuri-chan, this is..."

"My God, it's the headquarters of Suga House Industry!" Yuri Takanashi's eyes lit up.

Suga House Industry is one of the top real estate development companies in Tokyo and even Japan, and it basically holds a monopoly in the real estate business.

Yuri Kotori's family is in the home renovation industry, and they know all the big names in the industry like the back of their hand.

"The current owner of the Suga Group is named Suga Hayato. He entered the real estate industry in his early years and fought his way up to where he is today. His net worth has now exceeded 300 billion yen."

"He has no children on the surface, but there was a time when rumors circulated that he had an illegitimate child."

"Could it be that Shiraki-kun is the legendary young nobleman?"

"No way, Shiraki-kun probably just has some real estate issues at home and needs to come here to give feedback to the business department." Kokonoe Reina was a little incredulous.

But the scene of being greeted by the manager of the Suga Group is still vivid in my mind.

Would an ordinary person receive this kind of treatment?

If Shiraki were the only son of Suga Housing Industry...

With such a distinguished family background, how much wealth can it bring, and how many people will be eyeing this juicy piece of meat, Shiraki?

Reina Kokonoe gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

My chances have shrunk again.

“Well, we can’t jump to conclusions yet; we need to observe further,” Yuri Takanashi agreed.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go to a bubble tea shop across the street and sit down while drinking bubble tea and continuing to keep an eye on the entrance of the Suga House Industrial Building.

Half an hour later, a pure black Lexus pulled up in front of the Suga House Industrial Building.

The manager appeared and respectfully opened the car door.

Shiraki Shun then calmly appeared and got into the car.

The deep roar of the Lexus engine merged into the traffic.

"This time there's no mistake!"

Yuri Takanashi unconsciously tightened her grip on the milk tea cup, crushing it as if she had discovered a new continent.

"That license plate belongs to Suga Hayato's car!"

The Lexus drove smoothly.

The terrain on both sides rises and falls, and the scenery gradually shifts away from the bustling city and returns to nature.

This kind of natural scenery can only be seen in Arakawa Ward.

A moment later, the Lexus stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"Mr. Shiraki, we've arrived at Mount Hirao. Are you sure you want to get off here?" the driver asked, pulling the handbrake to confirm.

"Yes." Bai Mujun patted the thick leather cushion reluctantly. "Thank you for your help."

He got out of the car, waved goodbye to the driver, and then turned and stepped onto the inconspicuous mountain steps.

"Sigh, Mr. Shiraki must be having a tough time. Living alone in such a desolate place, can he really feel at ease?" the driver murmured, watching his departing figure.

Under the dim sky, the setting sun cast its gloomy light on the bare branches, and the shadow of the small hill in front of the car gradually climbed onto the hood. Coupled with the low cawing of crows, the scene appeared somewhat eerie.

The driver looked around and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine; he didn't want to stay any longer.

He was merely following orders to see people off; he had no interest in getting involved in anything else.

The Lexus floored the accelerator and sped away.

As the sun set, Shiramu Jun continued walking forward along the mountain steps, sheltered by the trees.
