Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Of course, this level of cooking won't embarrass me. Otherwise, if Satania finds out there's a problem, she won't eat it."

"So you forced yourself to hold back, right? It must have been tough for you to do this, trying to trick people," Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"Hehe!"

Listening to Raphiel and Tsuchimikado Fuyu's conversation, Kaguya Shinomiya's face also darkened. Could the famous restaurant that the "Cancer of Earth" mentioned nearby be the one Raphiel was talking about?

Could she also be plotting this, hoping to see us make a fool of ourselves?

If Miyuki Shirogane and Kei Shirogane hadn't disappeared along with Chika Fujiwara, Kaguya Shinomiya would have really wanted to give up on Chika Fujiwara altogether.

However, this time it really wasn't Fujiwara Chika deliberately trying to tease them, because she had never eaten there either.

She had heard from a friend that the food there was delicious, and since Shirogane Kei had suggested that everyone treat themselves to dinner that evening, she remembered this restaurant and wanted to invite Shinomiya Kaguya and the others to join her.

Well, that means that the responsibility for Shirogane Miyuki and the others being trapped in the alley lies mostly with Fujiwara Chika, and Shirogane Kei really has no responsibility.

……

"Is there anything wrong here?" Walking into the alley, Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked around. Apart from a few streetlights that were not lit, there was only a dark and dilapidated shop with a few stone tablets inside.

"But the chairman and the others disappeared at the entrance of this alley. The surveillance cameras inside are broken and we couldn't find them, but the surveillance cameras at the exit haven't shown anyone coming out."

Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Kaguya Shinomiya, somewhat frightened, moved slightly closer to Raphiel and forced herself to remain calm as she spoke.

"Tsk, this is something." Tsuchimikado Fuyu chuckled, then strode towards the shop. "Since there's nothing special around, let's start by checking the most conspicuous places."

The three arrived at the store entrance. Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the iron lock on the door and asked, "This lock is locked. There's no way the president and the others can get in."

“Indeed, if it’s just an ordinary lock, they can’t get in without a key, but what if they let them in?” Tsuchimikado Fuyu sensed the faint spiritual energy on the lock and said with a smile.

The spiritual energy on this lock was so weak that it couldn't be felt if you stood a little distance away. Even if you were standing right in front of it, you would have almost not noticed it if it weren't for Princess Kaguya's reminder.

That's right. Because of what happened with the thugs in the afternoon, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't send Kaguya-hime and Higanbana back after summoning them, but instead carried them with him.

Princess Kaguya was overly sensitive to spiritual energy, and when she sensed the intermittent fluctuations in spiritual energy above, she alerted Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"Them?" Kaguya Shinomiya's pupils contracted as she stared in surprise at the iron lock in front of her. Could these things be alive? Were they the legendary monsters?

"Well, don't worry, it's not really a monster. At most, it's just a tsukumogami that has just developed spiritual power but hasn't developed consciousness yet."

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya's tense expression, Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and said, "It seems there's someone else trapping Chika and the others."

After saying that, Tsuchimikado Fuyu poured spiritual power into the iron lock.

Suddenly, the iron lock emitted bursts of light, and then the surroundings began to distort. In the end, the three of them appeared at the entrance of an alley.

"Yes, he's in." Tsuchimikado Fuyu shrugged and said calmly.

However, despite Tsuchimikado Fuyu's calm demeanor, he was actually being taught everything by Princess Kaguya and Higanbana. Otherwise, given his limited knowledge, he would have been completely baffled by this operation.

But that doesn't stop him from showing off.

"What...what happened?" Kaguya Shinomiya stared blankly around, asking in shock, "Weren't we just in front of the store?"

"Oh my, something interesting has happened!" Raphiel said with a smile, "Hey, Fuyu-kun, is this what they call a barrier?"

"More or less, but it's not quite the same as a normal barrier. That lock is at most a trigger device. This barrier has other features in its design."

Chapter 641 My Friend's Wife

"Tsuchimikado-kun, what should we do now?" Although Kaguya Shinomiya didn't know what a barrier was, judging from what Tsuchimikado Fuyuki said, they must have entered the place where Miyuki Shirogane and the others disappeared.

Although they entered, they didn't see Shirogane Miyuki and the others. All they saw was the same alley as before. If they hadn't suddenly appeared at the alley entrance, Shinomiya Kaguya might not have realized that their environment had changed!

"Now, of course, we need to find Chika and the others." Tsuchimikado Fuyu shrugged, looking at Shinomiya Kaguya with an expression that said, "How could you be so stupid?" and said speechlessly.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Fuyu Tsuchimikado with a dark expression. "Of course I know we need to find the president and the others first, but what I want to ask is, how are we supposed to find them?"

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Tsuchimikado Fuyu chuckled and said, "This barrier is quite interesting; it's an overlapping type."

"Overlapping type?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Fuyu Tsuchimikado curiously. What did that mean?

It must be said that in just a few short minutes, Kaguya Shinomiya truly had her eyes opened. A world completely different from what she knew was slowly emerging before her eyes, arousing her extreme interest.

Raphiel explained, "You humans have the concept of parallel worlds, right? Overlapping barriers are similar to this."

“Well, Raphiel’s explanation makes sense.” Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded and said, “This barrier is made up of many identical small spaces. If I’m not mistaken, these small spaces should all be the same alleyways, and Chika and the others are trapped in another small space.”

What we need to do now is to leave our current space and find the space where Chika and the others are.

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded blankly. "Then how do we find it?"

"Let's look at it from the source. Although we can break it by brute force, if there's something else inside this barrier, it could put Chika and the others in danger. So for now, let's just play by their rules."

After saying that, Tsuchimikado Fuyu led Raphiel and Shinomiya Kaguya back to the shop.

"Oh my, Fuyu-kun, you can ask me for help if you need it, just give me some benefits. After all, if I help you, I'll be punished by the Heavenly Realm." Raphiel whispered in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's ear.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu reached out and gently flicked Raphiel's forehead. Raphiel rubbed her forehead and muttered, "Fuyu-kun, what are you doing? I was just trying to help you out of kindness. Now that the benefits aren't doubled, I won't forgive you so easily."

"Don't think I don't know you have powerful connections and aren't afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Realm. If you want something, just say so. I'm your man, after all. It's not like I won't agree to your request. Why beat around the bush?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly.

"Dong-kun, isn't this too boring?" Raphiel said this, but her face was full of happiness and she muttered softly, "Dong-kun, you're such an idiot."

Even if she brought up something inappropriate at a time like this, it would be beneficial for her, but this idiot just didn't realize it and missed such a good opportunity.

You're my man, and I'm still your woman!

Even if some requests are unhealthy, as long as it's not the final step, I'm not against agreeing to other requests in a different way.

Stupid!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and patted Raphiel's head. Although he didn't know what Raphiel was up to this time, he could feel her desire to help him.

Tsuchimikado Fuyuki absolutely adores this angel who became his girlfriend after just one kiss. Although she's a little cunning, she always puts him first and keeps building his harem.

Therefore, Tsuchimikado Fuyu readily agreed to some of Raphiel's unreasonable requests, including her bizarre request to not reveal their identities and to "cheat" on him in front of his other girlfriends.

After all, there's only one such adorable, cunning angel, so how could I possibly refuse to grant her some of her little requests?

On the other side, Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly as she watched Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Raphiel whispering to each other. It seemed that her investigation was indeed true; this guy really did have more than one girlfriend.

I hope he truly likes Fujiwara, just like he said. Otherwise, even if he's an Onmyoji, I'll teach this guy who plays with girls' feelings a lesson.

Arriving at the shop entrance again, Tsuchimikado Fuyu picked up the iron lock on the shop door and channeled some spiritual energy into it once more.

However, unlike last time, this time after Tsuchimikado Fuyu's spiritual power was completely absorbed by the iron lock, there was no reaction at all. It was just like an ordinary iron lock, waiting for the key to open it.

"Tsk, interesting." Tsuchimikado Fuyu clicked his tongue and said.

"Fuyu-kun, is there a problem?" Raphiel looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a puzzled expression, then asked with a smile, "Do you need any help?"

“Not for now.” Tsuchimikado Touyu smiled and shook his head, saying, “This is just an illusion. Come with me.”

After saying that, he grabbed Raphiel's hand and looked at Kaguya Shinomiya, saying, "Raphiel, hold on tight to Shinomiya-san, it'll be troublesome if she gets lost."

"Huh? Dong-kun, aren't you going to miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of a girl?" Raphiel asked in confusion.

"What do you mean, 'opportunity to take advantage of girls'? You bastard!" Kaguya Shinomiya said angrily, her face flushed.

However, she felt a slight sense of gratitude towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

Given the situation just now, even if Tsuchimikado Fuyuki grabbed her hand, she wouldn't have been able to refuse, since she was now relying entirely on Tsuchimikado Fuyuki's help. However, she definitely wouldn't have a good impression of Tsuchimikado Fuyuki afterwards.

Now, Tsuchimikado Tou's gentlemanly demeanor caught her eye; this guy was surprisingly nice to girls.

"Alright, alright, you shouldn't mess with your friend's wife. Stop joking around." Tsuchimikado Touyu tapped Raphiel's head and said speechlessly.

"Hehe." Raphiel stuck out her tongue. From the beginning, Raphiel could tell that Tsuchimikado Fuyu had no interest in Shinomiya Kaguya; she just wanted to tease them.

However, Chika-chan has this opportunity to encourage her to confess to Fuyu-kun, since she doesn't want to watch Tsuchimikado Fuyu be influenced by Kuroneko and the others and become a lolicon.

After all, Raphiel herself doesn't have any loli attributes, so even if we can't make Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu lean towards big breasts, we still have to balance things out.

"We haven't gone that far with 'friends' wives' yet," Kaguya Shinomiya said shyly, her face flushing red as she heard this.

"So you two are really too slow," Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

Chapter 642 Special Barrier

In a dark alley, a man and two women walked slowly, trembling.

"Hey! President, have you noticed that the temperature around us is getting lower and lower?" Fujiwara Chika felt a cold wind blow by and immediately shivered. She quickly leaned against Shirogane Kei, rubbed her arms, and said with a not-so-good expression.

"Brother~" Shirogane Kei clung to Fujiwara Chika's arm, trembling as he looked at Shirogane Miyuki.

She had already felt a bit cold, but she thought it was just a normal drop in temperature. However, after what Fujiwara Chika said, she started to become a little suspicious.

"It's probably because the temperature drops at night. After all, it's autumn now, so it's normal for the nights to be cool. Don't scare yourself."

Although Shirogane Miyuki was very happy that Shirogane Kei suddenly called him "brother" again, he hadn't felt this kind of reliance from his younger sister in a long time since Shirogane Kei went through her "rebellious phase."

However, he was also terrified by what Fujiwara Chika said. But since he was the only boy, he could only pretend to be calm and answer with a less-than-pleasant expression.

The three of them walked in silence. Although they were all a little scared, they had already walked for so long and did not know which way was the right way, so they could only continue walking until darkness fell.

Now they just hope to get out of here as soon as possible, or to be found by Kaguya Shinomiya and the others.

However, given that such a bizarre situation has occurred, it's unlikely that Kaguya Shinomiya would be able to find them.

They all had similar thoughts in their hearts, but none of them said them aloud. After all, if they despaired at this point, they would really never get out.

……

On the other side, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the other two held hands and, under Kaguya Shinomiya's horrified gaze, crashed straight into the doorway.

"what!"

"Shinomiya-kun... if you're going to yell, you should yell when you come in, okay? Why are you shouting now that you're already inside?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly, looking at Shinomiya Kaguya who had suddenly yelled out from where she was standing.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya stared blankly around, "Huh? Have we come in?"

“Of course, I already said it’s just an illusion! As long as you cover your body with a layer of spiritual energy, it’s easy to get in,” Tsuchimikado Tou said with a smile.

"What if there's no spiritual power?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked blankly.

“Of course, it’s just like a normal door; you just crash into it,” Tsuchimikado Touhou said with a shrug.

"Fuyu-kun, Fuyu-kun, these stone tablets are quite interesting." Just then, Raphiel came to a stone tablet, smiled and waved to Tsuchimikado Fuyu, saying, "They're all youkai, aren't they?"

“Yes, they’re all Nurikabe,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded and said.

"Wait, is Tu Bi the legendary monster that sometimes appears in front of you when you are walking at night and you can't get out unless you hit the base of the wall?"

"But in the legends of yokai, there's nothing about Nurikabe trapping people in a space, is there?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, tilting her head.

"If it were just an ordinary wall, that would be true; you could just smash its base. But the walls in this barrier are different. They have been linked together by an array to form this unique barrier."
