I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"And it's a divine artifact?"

Shiraki Shun was slightly surprised.

"Hanagawa-san, do you know about divine artifacts?"

"Hmm." Yu Chuanlan nodded slightly, then shook the staff in her hand. "This staff is also a divine artifact."

"It took the merits accumulated by several generations of monks at Leiming Temple to obtain this staff, and it was passed down through several generations before finally being handed to me."

Shiraki Shun looked at the staff in Hanekawa Arashi's hand with slight surprise.

The merits accumulated by generations of monks have been passed down through generations.

Doesn't that mean this is something from a long time ago?

"Hanakawa-san, didn't you say that the divine artifacts were obtained from the Exorcism Alliance? Then how did you get your Zen staff?" He asked with slight confusion.

"Of course, it was also obtained from the Exorcism Alliance," Hane Han explained.

"Mr. Shiraki may not know that the history of the Exorcism Alliance is surprisingly long."

"The shadow of the Exorcism Alliance can even be seen in many historical records."

Shiraki Shun seemed to be deep in thought.

It was only because of the website of the Exorcism Alliance that I felt that the other party had only been established in recent years.

According to Yu Chuanlan, the Exorcism Alliance is actually a long-established organization?

"Shiraki-kun, where did you get this divine artifact?" Hane asked curiously.

Shiraki Shun said very honestly, "It is held by a blue-faced monster who is wearing a monk's robe and looks like a monk."

"I suspect that it may have some connection with Buddhism, which is why I wanted to ask Mr. Yu Chuan if he knows the specific origin of this monster?"

"A blue-faced monster wearing a monk's robe?" Hanekawa Arashi pondered, poking his chin.

"The shape is that of a golden alms bowl, and there should only be a few of them."

I couldn't remember it in the end, so I just wrote it down for now.

"I'll check it out when I get back to the library and then tell Mr. Shiraki."

Shiraki Shun hummed in agreement, then asked again.

"So, regarding this divine artifact, does Hanekawa-san know what to do with it?"

Shiramu Jun was also somewhat clueless about this matter.

Seeing the blue-faced monk remove organs from it, Shiraki Shun roughly understood the purpose of this thing.

Storage function.

However, it was because he witnessed that scene that Shiramu Jun had no good feelings towards this divine artifact.

As a divine artifact used by the blue-faced monk for countless murders over the years, it must be stained with the blood of innocent people.

Yuukawa Arashi nodded.

“Spiritual artifacts like these that have been corrupted by demons must be collected by the exorcism alliance, re-enshrined, purified over a long period of time, and then handed over to trustworthy people.”

"If Mr. Shiraki has no objections, I will take it with me and hand it over to the Exorcism Alliance."

Chapter Fifty: The Future Consecration Plan

He watched as Yuukawa Arashi put away the golden bowl.

Shiraki Shunsai discussed with her the matter of clearing out the demons in Meguro Ward.

The event was finally scheduled for tomorrow night, Saturday night.

The target of the exorcism was the ghost marked on the map that Shiraki Shun saw in the underground room.

According to Bai Mujun's count, there are a total of forty-three locations.

In other words, Shiraki Shun planned to wipe out all the ghosts within one night.

The workload was considerable.

I wonder if Yuukawa Arashi can handle doing this all night.

Fortunately, these ghosts are all located within Meguro Ward, so with proper route planning, it won't take too much time.

After all, Shiraki Shun's exorcisms are quite efficient.

The reason he was in such a hurry was that Shiraki Shun was worried that what happened in Meguro Ward would reach the ears of other yokai.

If the events in Meguro Ward are exposed, the other yokai will likely arrive and relocate these demons to mitigate the damage.

To avoid such a thing from happening, Shiraki Shun felt that the exorcism should be done as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

Otherwise, it would be a huge financial loss for oneself.

After saying goodbye to Arashi Hanekawa, Shun Shiraki returned to Kazuki Takanashi's construction site.

"Master, how is it?!"

Kotaro, who was squatting at the door and looking up, immediately stood up and rushed over when he saw Shiraki Shun. The dust explosion that landed made Shiraki Shun cough.

He covered his mouth as he spoke.

"Ahem, Mr. Kotaro, it's time to leave."

"Does the master mean it's over?" Kotaro asked blankly.

"Hmm." Shiraki Shun gazed into its eyes and nodded slowly. "The monster that persecuted Lord Kotaro has already gone to the underworld."

"The only thing left to deal with is what's inside Mr. Kotaro's body."

Is it really over?

Hearing this, Kotaro was completely bewildered.

Even when it saw Shiraki Shun, it already had a premonition.

But hearing Shiraki Shun say it himself was a completely different experience.

It has been imprisoned here for nearly ten years since it was discovered by those monsters.

Ten years!

Do you know how this dog god has spent the past ten years?!

It practiced asceticism day and night, enduring humiliation and hardship.

I just want to one day bite these monsters that appear every month and torment my weak heart to pieces!

Take a bite and ask them a question.

What is 1000 minus 7?

But now that he has avenged his great enemy, Kotaro feels a little empty inside.

Suddenly, the dog lost its purpose in life.

"Let's go," Shiramu Jun said, waving his hand.

"Understood, Master."

Kotaro took a few steps, and his body slowly shrank, transforming back into the form of an Akita dog.

It turned to look at the house behind it, its eyes filled with reluctance.

Bu Ye, I'm leaving.

I'm going to work at the shrine now.

But don't worry, once I've made some money, I'll buy this house back.

Thinking of this, Kotaro suddenly realized a serious problem.

Master Shiraki only told him to go work at the shrine.

It seems there was no mention of salary?

Master Shiraki, you're not planning to let me work for free, are you?

Take Kotaro back to Mount Hirao.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

Shiraki Shun instructed Kotaro to stay outside the main hall, while he himself went up the steps to the main hall.

Speaking of which, Kotaro hasn't had a chance to tell the gods about it yet.

However, given the benevolence of the gods, they would likely not refuse.

In this temple, the gods do not rest.

Her slender, fair legs dangled in the air as she leaned against a cushion that also floated in the air, reading a comic book.

Although the number of believers has increased and their wishes have grown, the deity still spends his/her days in his/her temple.

Aside from occasionally making Shinto tools, he leads a fulfilling life playing video games and reading comics.

Upon noticing Shiraki Shun enter the main hall, the deity turned to the side, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

"Priest Shiraki, you're back."

Shiraki Shun told her last night that he was going to perform a purification ritual and would be back later.

The gods are no longer too worried about Shiramu Shun, who has been performing quite strongly lately, encountering any danger outside.

After replenishing his mana, he let Shiramu Jun go out.

Although I'm not worried, it's inevitable that a god would feel a bit lonely at home, and I still hope that Shiramu Jun can come back soon.

"Mm." Shiramu Jun nodded.

His tone was slightly serious.

"My Lord, there is something I forgot to discuss with you."

"Hmm? What is it?" The god adjusted the hem of his robe and put his feet on the ground.

As if remembering something, he made a preemptive statement.

"Uh, Priest Shiraki, if it's still about body consecration, then please don't ask anymore."
