I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

However, the fact that Shiraki Shun cannot produce a large number of amulets does not mean that Sakura Daiyou is useless.

High-quality raw materials like these are perfect for use with Kokonoe Reina!

After all, Kokonoe Reina's demonic power was still too weak, and the demonic power she injected into the amulet was basically negligible.

If you use the Sakura Great Fairy's Demon Wood in conjunction with it, it can stimulate and complement each other, taking the effect of the amulet to another level.

Although it's not on the same level as the amulets he made, it doesn't diminish the prestige of Tenji Shrine.

Shiraki Shun glanced at the trembling cherry blossom demon.

That being the case.

If the mistakes and sins committed by the Sakura Demon are still within the scope of atonement, then spare its life.

Planted in the shrine as a renewable resource, it becomes a sacred tree that protects the shrine, slowly atoneing for its sins.

If the sins committed are so grave that it is necessary to send them to the underworld for a second chance...

Coincidentally, he has recently been considering replacing the torii gate at the shrine.

Bai Mujun glanced at the demons crawling around the base, then pulled out a huge divine artifact.

He said gently.

"Since everyone is aware of this, I am certainly willing to give everyone a chance."

"Please do not push or shove, respect the elderly and children, and take your seats in an orderly manner."

early morning.

The warm winter sun shone on that fair profile, casting a soft, golden glow.

Stimulated by the sunlight, Yuukawa, who was fast asleep, groggily opened her eyes.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar ceiling, I was a little slow to realize what was happening.

I slept so well!

Suddenly, her eyes, still heavy with sleep and not yet fully awake, widened little by little.

I noticed a warm, comforting feeling of fullness in my body.

This feeling

Could this be the consecration ceremony?

Has the White Wood Priest finished?

The warmth emanating from her body allowed Yuukawa Yaya to easily break free from the seal of the cold winter bed.

I folded the blankets and went outside the room.

Inside the shrine, Shiraki Shun was half-squatting on the open ground beside the approach, seemingly studying the soil.

Yuukawa Yaya couldn't wait any longer and ran over, swinging her red-buttoned straw sandals. She bent down and asked nervously.

"Priest Shiraki, um, is my consecration complete?"

"Yes, it went very smoothly." Shiraki Shun turned his head and smiled. "The compatibility between the magic of the shrine maiden Hanekawa and mine is quite good, and the completion of the consecration is also very high, even surpassing that of Hanekawa-san."

Upon hearing this, Yuukawa Yaya's smile instantly became incredibly bright.

She asked in surprise.

"Does Priest Shiraki mean that my consecration skills are superior to my sister's?"

“No.” Shiraki Shun shook his head. “Although the consecration of the shrine maiden Hanekawa was more complete, the actual magical power injected was still somewhat less than that of Hanekawa-san.”

"It's about four-fifths of Hanekawa-san's."

This is also impossible.

After all, the amount of magical power one can contain is also related to one's physical condition.

Although they are twins.

However, due to some differences in body size, the upper limit of consecration will naturally change accordingly.

After all, storing magic power also requires a certain amount of space.

This is something that Shiraki Shun cannot change.

However, if necessary, one might try magical medicine.

what?

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yuukawa Yaya's face slowly disappeared.

She lowered her head, looking resentfully at the straw sandals on her feet.

sister

That's cheating!

Noticing that Yuukawa Yaya's spirits had waned, Shiraki Shun coughed twice and changed the subject.

He said solemnly.

"Hanakawa Shrine Maiden, a guest will be visiting the shrine today. I will tell you her characteristics. If she comes to the shrine, bring her directly to this hall."

As expected, Hanekawa Yaya's curiosity was piqued by Shiraki Shun's words, but she wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Because she knew.

The guest mentioned by the White Wood Priest

It's very likely not a human.

Knowing this only adds to my psychological burden.

"I understand."

"Priest Shiraki, I'll go get ready with Rena-chan then."

"Yes, thank you both." Shiramu Jun nodded slightly.

He stood up, patted the thick tree trunk behind him, and nodded in satisfaction.

Attracted by Shiraki Shun's actions, Hanekawa Yaya also looked up, staring in surprise at the massive tree canopy behind Shiraki Shun.

Here

When did such a big cherry blossom tree appear?

Chapter 221 The Real Nightmare

November 26th.

Saturday.

At Tenji Shrine, there were more worshippers visiting the shrine than usual.

People walked back and forth on the gravel-paved path, their expressions devout.

The second semester final exams are just around the corner, and many parents will come to the shrine to make wishes on behalf of their children, hanging up an ema board (a type of wooden plaque) and praying that their children will get good grades on the final exams.

Even though Tenji Shrine is not known for its ability to bless academic success, it still attracts a constant stream of worshippers.

Don't ask, the answer is that the priest is awesome.

At this moment, at the foot of Mount Pingxiong.

A young woman dressed in a dark green kimono and wooden clogs arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Her face was sallow, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she looked haggard.

He raised his head, looked in the direction of the Tenji Shrine, and hesitated for a moment.

Then, taking small steps, they climbed the uneven mountain steps.

A charming purple silk scarf was tied around her left ankle.

It was Princess Kaguya.

However, he did not actually go there in person.

After all, Princess Kaguya knew how dangerous it would be if her identity were exposed.

After all, stealing Tsukuyomi's power is an unforgivable act in the eyes of the gods.

If those Tianjin gods discovered this, needless to say, they would retaliate against Tsukuyomi, and he would probably be suppressed on the spot.

This is something Princess Kaguya absolutely cannot accept.

Just to be on the safe side, she spent the whole night in her dream making a selection, and finally chose this believer who had originally planned to come to Tenji Shrine to confide his troubles.

Then, through a dream, it possessed her body without her noticing.

Although this body limited her ability to exert her strength and reduced her perception, it greatly improved the safety of her travels.

In this way, even if the gods really wanted to investigate, they could only find out about his disguise.

We couldn't find any clues!

This will be a perfect assassination!

Princess Kaguya raised the corners of her mouth in a smug smile.

But then the host's sorrowful expression returned.

Following the flow of people, Princess Kaguya methodically climbed the mountain steps, passed the torii gate, and arrived at the shrine.

Without making a sound, I glanced at the side of the shrine, where a black komainu statue was being posed for photos by many worshippers.

With her sharp eyesight, she naturally recognized the true nature of the komainu statue at a glance.

It's a monster.

However, their strength is not particularly high; in fact, it could be described as very weak.

Ha, a piece of trash with a combat power of only five.

Can even a monster like that be used to guard a shrine?

Princess Kaguya curled her lips slightly.

My opinion of the priest immediately plummeted.
