I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"Ise Grand Shrine, but—"

"How could that be? I think Priest Shiraki's idea is excellent!"

"Kojima, you should think so too, right?"

Before Shiraki Shun could speak, Tsukuyomi's beautiful eyes seemed to light up, and she spoke elegantly.

Upon hearing this, Masaki Mizuki silently shut her mouth, keeping the words she wanted to say to herself.

You are the chief priest, everything you say is correct.

Shiraki Shun looked at Masaki Mizuki with clear, bright eyes and said with a hint of apology.

"I know this request may be somewhat abrupt for the Shrine."

"But actually, there was a reason why I established a branch office."

"In terms of objectives, it is entirely beneficial to both Ise Grand Shrine and Japan as a whole."

"Please make sure that Masaki Miyaji believes this."

Shiraki Shun certainly had his reasons for doing so.

Last night, during his battle with Abe no Seimei, the entire city of Tokyo witnessed his presence.

It's no longer possible to hide it.

News about him will likely spread rapidly throughout Japan in the next few days.

At that time, all the monsters lurking in various parts of Japan will know.

In Tokyo, there's even a Shinto priest in charge.

Shiraki Shun didn't actually want to see this happen.

Originally, according to his plan...

He should remain hidden in the shadows, and with the help of the traitors and monsters under his command, gradually obtain information about the monster organizations in other parts of Japan.

Then, they were defeated one by one, ultimately achieving the goal of eradicating the entire neon-lit country.

But now, he has only managed to subdue the monsters of Tokyo and Shikoku, as well as a few powerful monsters in Hokkaido, before he has already been exposed.

In the rest of Japan, especially in those historic cities.

Such as Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya

There must still be monsters lurking.

As for what those monsters would do after learning of his existence, Shiramu Shun couldn't predict.

If the only plan is to run away and escape Japan, that's a minor matter.

But what if a monster decides to fight to the death and attacks the local people?

Those monsters that Shiraki Shun considered easily defeated would be invincible enemies if they were other divine beings.

For example, Masaki Mizuki, who is standing in front of him now, is probably one of the most outstanding priests in all of Japan.

However, the opponent's mana value, when converted, was only a mere 160 points.

Even with the help of divine artifacts, they would never be a match for those ferocious demons.

In response, Shiraki Shun quickly devised a countermeasure.

That is to leverage the prestige of Ise Grand Shrine to quickly establish branches of Tenji Shrine throughout Japan.

The priests in the branch offices are yokai who have passed the Shinto artifact test.

Ensure that each city has sufficient combat power to defend it.

Only in this way can the stability of the entire neon world be ensured.

At the same time, the yokai who hold priestly positions at the shrine can also take this opportunity to absorb the power of wishes and improve their spiritual practice.

It's a win-win situation.

Of course, Shiraki Shun couldn't tell Masaki Mizuki these things.

After all, the Ise Grand Shrine has strict rules.

Introducing yokai (demons) into Shintoism would certainly provoke resistance from the Shintoists.

But right now, there's no better solution.

As for the enormous cost of building the branch office

If his current income isn't enough, he can borrow some from the Lord of Amakusa.

I imagine the other party wouldn't refuse.

Upon hearing Shiraki Shun's words, Masaki Mizuki remained silent for a while.

Then he nodded slowly and put the check back into his pocket.

"I understand."

"I will present Priest Shiraki's proposal truthfully and do my best to ensure that it is approved."

A slight smile appeared on Shiraki Shun's face.

"Then I'll have to trouble Masaki-no-miya. I'm truly grateful for that."

Masaki Mizuki hurriedly said, "Priest Shiraki, you're too kind. This is nothing to mention."

As a priest who could command Tsukuyomi to serve him tea, Shiraki Shun's image in Masaki Mizuki's mind was already incredibly lofty.

Being able to build a good relationship with such a priest was exactly what he wanted.

Thinking of this, Masaki Mizuki secretly raised her head again and glanced at Shiraki Shun.

Hesitant to speak.

If the priest Shiraki truly wanted to express his gratitude to him...

Could you please have the chief priest pour me another cup of tea?

Watching Masaki Mizuki leave.

Shiraki Shunya then turned around and prepared to return to the main hall.

At that moment, Tsukuyomi suddenly spoke up.

"Priest Shiraki, please wait a moment."

"Hmm? Is there anything else, Tsukuyomi?" Shiraki Shun asked, turning around in confusion.

Tsukuyomi did not respond; she simply stood there.

Her bright eyes seemed to pierce through the main hall, staring intently in the direction of the main hall.

After watching for a while, she looked away, a faint smile appearing on her face.

He spoke softly.

"Priest Shiraki, Little Eloquent Ten, doesn't seem to be very good at absorbing the power of wishes."

"So much time has passed, but not much of the power of the wish has been absorbed."

"If it were the previous Benzaiten, all these wishes would probably have been absorbed long ago."

"It seems that Little Eloquent Heaven hasn't mastered the true method of using divine power."

Upon hearing this, Shiramu Jun's mind stirred slightly.

He looked at Tsukuyomi with some surprise: "So, does Tsukuyomi have a way to help the gods?"

"Yes, there are." Tsukuyomi smiled gently.

"Priest Shiraki, have you considered entrusting Little Benzaiten to me for a while?"

Shiraki Shun was slightly taken aback, then stared intently into Tsukuyomi's eyes and said seriously.

What does Tsukuyomi want to do?

"Of course, it's to help her cultivate." A hint of pleasure flashed in Tsukuyomi's beautiful eyes.

I don't know how much time passed.

At this moment, night has fallen.

Main shrine.

Inside the kotatsu.

Her hair, still a little messy from sleeping, was scattered all over the floor.

The slender white fingers that were originally spread out in front of her pretty face suddenly trembled twice.

The next second, the god opened his beautiful eyes in a daze.

The immense power of vows that was originally concentrated in this hall has now been almost completely absorbed by her.

The deity swayed as he sat up, before he even had a chance to rub his eyes.

He suddenly froze.

His eyes widened in astonishment.

"Who are you?"

She was startled to see the strange witch lying beside her, with a slender and alluring figure and a flawless face.

Tsukuyomi looked at the god's astonished eyes and smiled elegantly.

Who I am is not important.

She immediately changed her tone, her expression becoming extremely serious.

Her beautiful eyes gazed upon the divine.

Her cherry lips parted slightly.

“Little eloquent Tian, ​​I have a question for you.”

Do you crave power?
