Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Seeing the six people locked in a stalemate, Tsuchimikado Fuyu scratched his head helplessly, but didn't say anything.

After all, he only has two hands. Even without Hyuga pulling him, he can't satisfy everyone at the same time. So instead of agonizing over who to pull, it's better to let them remain in this stalemate to avoid being accused of favoritism.

Having too many girlfriends might not seem like a big deal in normal times, but the downsides become apparent during group activities like this. After all, he only has one girlfriend, and he can't be divided into many.

Moreover, this was all done without September and Fujiwara Chika being present, and with Winette not competing or vying for anything.

Otherwise, if Fujiwara Chika were there too, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause!

Unfortunately, because of her identity, Daji did not allow her to go to the shrine in September.

After all, Daji is considered the ancestor of Japanese yokai, and it would be a disgrace for the Nine-Tailed Fox family to have their granddaughter worship a minor yokai deity.

Although Tsuchimikado Tou is their son-in-law, he is still a local and lives in this place, so their customs must be respected.

I can choose not to participate, but I can't let Tsuchimikado Fuyuki do it, can I?

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu himself wasn't really keen on going for the first time.

But considering that most of them would have to go home for at least a week after tonight, he decided to take this opportunity to spend time with them.

Yes, that's right. Today is the Japanese New Year. After the first visit tonight, almost everyone will have to go home and reunite with their families.

Even Sagiri and her wife have to go back to their parents' home to see them.

It seems that only Winette and her family, along with Hayakawa Kyoko and Alma, remain in the house.

Vinette and the others also have to return to Heaven and Hell tomorrow to report on their situation this year in order to secure more living expenses for next year.

"It was so exciting and nerve-wracking for me to participate for the first time!" After being stopped by Nibutani Mori, Raphiel stopped trying to take over Tsuchimikado Fuyu and instead walked with Vinette, smiling as she spoke.

"Tense and exciting?" Winette asked curiously.

"How immoral it is to go and worship other gods like this!" Raphiel's face showed a happy smile, leaving everyone speechless. This immoral angel!

"Please don't develop this kind of fun!" Winette reminded helplessly.

"Food, rare food, delicious food, and sweet wine... Ah! I can't wait!" Alma, dressed in a kimono, skipped and jumped with anticipation.

It was only in front of Tsuchimikado and the others that Elma could maintain this slightly childish demeanor; if there were other dragons she knew, she would be extremely serious.

"Oh my! What a coincidence! Everyone's here." As they walked along the road, they suddenly heard Erkoya's voice from the side.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Ercoya wearing a very stylish kimono, revealing half of the world-class treasure, walking over with a smile and holding a shy-looking Shota in his arms.

"Elkoasan, are you sure this outfit is okay for you?" Vinette asked in surprise, her face flushed.

“It’s the New Year after all! So I thought I’d wear something a bit more traditional,” Erkoya said with a smile.

"Let...let go..." Shota Mado struggled painfully.

Unfortunately, his strength was far too little for Erkoya.

"Erkoyasan, you don't seem to be going to participate in the first round of the competition, but rather to give everyone a freebie," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly.

"Oh! Really?" Ercoa tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Is what I'm wearing really that strange?"

"Well... never mind... anyway, it's a pretty proper outfit for you." Tsuchimikado Fuyu thought of Ercoa's usual, even more flamboyant, attire, and decided not to dwell on the matter.

Chapter 1019 Separated

After chatting for a while, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others encountered Saikawa Riko and her sister who had just arrived, followed by Fafnir, Takiya Makoto, and Kobayashi.

Suddenly, their group grew rapidly, and the place became incredibly lively.

However, precisely because the group was so large and the venue was so crowded, everyone was completely separated after walking for a while.

"Wow! There are so many people." Raphiel, who finally managed to squeeze through the crowd, let go of Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arm and exclaimed.

"Really, don't get separated... Huh? Where is everyone?" Vigne was about to remind everyone when she realized that only the three of them and Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was dragging Hinata away to play, were left. She asked in a daze.

"I don't know about the others, but there's one over there!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu pointed to Gabriel, who was standing not far behind him with her right hand raised and being pushed back by the crowd, and said calmly.

"Jia!" Vinette immediately pushed her way back in concern, reaching out to grab Gabriel. "Jia, give me your hand!"

Unfortunately, Gabriel was already dizzy and disoriented from being squeezed, so Winette had to squeeze in and finally managed to grab her.

However, at this moment, due to the large number of people, Winette herself was also caught in the crowd and was carried in a certain direction by the surging crowd.

Vigne gasped and tried to pull Gabriel away from the crowd, but unfortunately, her strength was too insignificant for someone without supernatural abilities, and with Gabriel as a burden, they simply couldn't break free.

Just as she was starting to feel breathless from the crowd, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her and Gabriel out of the crowd.

“Saved… Huh?” Vinette squeezed through the crowd, panting, and was about to thank Tsuchimikado Fuyu when she suddenly noticed that Gabriel, whom she had grabbed, was holding a doomsday horn in her hand!

Gabriel said expressionlessly, "If you don't come out within three seconds, I'm blowing it!"

"Stop bragging!" Winette said speechlessly.

Gabriel calmly put away the Doomsday Horn, while Tsuchimikado Fuyu patted Vinette's arm earnestly and said, "Vinette, you've saved the Earth once again!"

"Oh my! Vine has done another good deed!" Raphiel added with a smile.

Vinette was immediately devastated and released her grip on Gabriel's hand with a look of disappointment.

I'm tired!

I'm desperate!

"Dong-ge, Liuli and the others are missing." At this moment, Hinata reminded them.

"It's alright, everyone just got separated, we'll definitely run into each other soon." Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and patted Hinata's head, saying, "I just sent a message to everyone, they said to meet at the shrine later, let's do our own thing first."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved and began to stroll around.

Since it was our first time visiting, quite a few people came today. The food street here has also expanded again, with many more stalls. Although the types of activities are still the same, the large number of people and the lively atmosphere make everything fun.

Vinette and the others were going to visit the shrine, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't interested. He was already angry enough that he was visiting other shrines, and if they found out that he was also visiting other gods, they would probably be extremely jealous.

You should know that the shikigami also have a New Year tradition. As early as this morning, under the command of Enmusubi and Tsuki, everyone began to help decorate the shrine, preparing for a grand and exciting Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

In the end, it all just turned into drinking and chatting.

But at least the atmosphere is there!

Tsuchimikado and the others also helped with the setup during the day. When everyone left, Enmusubi still looked sullen, and her puffy, round face was incredibly cute.

Therefore, to avoid the goddesses from throwing a tantrum, Tsuchimikado Fuyu definitely won't go to the shrine, but he can take Hinata to play!

With so many things to do here, Hinata couldn't wait any longer.

So, while Winette and the others were in line, Tsuchimikado Fuyu took Hinata to play around the shops with them, popping balloons, playing ring toss, scooping goldfish, shooting arrows, and hitting beanbags...

The games were still the same, but Hinata was having a blast, since her family never had the money to let her play to her heart's content before.

Things are different now. Kuroko made money writing novels, and when he came, he gave Hinata and Tamaki 10,000 yen each as New Year's money, so they could basically have a good time.

Well, the money Hinata spent on playing games didn't belong to Tsuchimikado Fuyu. It's not that Tsuchimikado Fuyu is stingy, but rather that he respects Kuroneko.

As Tsuchimikado Fuyu's girlfriend, Kuroneko can spend Tsuchimikado Fuyu's money, but she rarely lets Tsuchimikado Fuyu spend money on his family.

Bringing a gift when visiting her home is fine, but since Hinata and the others can afford to go out and have fun, she doesn't want Tsuchimikado Fuyu to pay for it, because Tsuchimikado Fuyu has no such obligation.

She was with Tsuchimikado Fuyu because she liked him, not because she liked his money.

Tsuchimikado Tou supports Kuroneko's pride, so he often has to come up with a suitable reason if he wants to buy gifts for Hinata and the others.

After all, black cats don't really distinguish between things; as long as the reason is right, she won't refuse.

Just as Tsuchimikado Fuyu was playing games with Hinata, he encountered the crab man being held by the hand by Nibutani Mori Natsu.

When they saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others, they were overjoyed and said excitedly, "We've finally found the main group!"

"Crab King, Mori Natsu, are you the only ones? Did anyone else see them?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked in confusion.

"No, we've been walking towards the shrine since we got separated, but it was too crowded, so we had to take a long detour to get here," Nissouya Morika said, shaking her head.

"But Rikka said she's with Dekomori and Tamaki the black cat, and they're playing games!" Crab said, taking out his phone.

"Then let's leave them be and do our own thing first, and wait for them here," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile. "By the way, are you going to the shrine?"

"Let's go, since we're already here," Dansheng Gu Senxia said after thinking for a moment. "What about you, Ke'er?"

"I don't want to, I want to stay with you, senior." The male crab hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

"Go if you want, I'm right here, you can't run away." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile, "Hyuga, how about we go over there and play balloon popping? We can win some gifts for Tamaki and the others later."

“No problem!” Hinata said confidently.

"Well then, senior, I'll go!" Upon hearing this, Crab King thought for a moment and then followed Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi into the queue.

She wasn't really interested in visiting the shrine, but she wanted to bring good luck and pray for Tsuchimikado Fuyu and everyone else!

Chapter 1020 Blessings and Prayers

In front of the shrine, Winette shook a bell, clapped her hands, and wished, "I hope everyone can be healthy!"

“I’m going to become the Great Demon, so I don’t need to bow and scrape,” Satania said confidently, hands on her hips.

"At least put your palms together," Winette said, speechless. "Otherwise, why did you wait in line for so long?"

Just as the two of them were talking, a bright white light suddenly appeared beside them.

When Winette turned her head, she saw Gabriel and Raphiel kneeling on one knee, praying with their eyes closed.

"You two are praying in a really weird way!" Winette said, speechless.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a beam of light appear in the sky, and then several little angels appeared before her. Vinette immediately panicked and stopped her, saying, "Something terrible has happened!"

Fortunately, Winette intervened in time. The holy light of heaven had not yet appeared before humanity's eyes because Raphiel and the others stopped praying and disappeared. Otherwise, who knows how much chaos might have ensued!

Even so, it still attracted a lot of attention, especially from Ercoya and her friends who were enjoying sweet wine not far away. Looking at the holy light in the sky, Ercoya said with a smile, "Oh dear, those two little ones are really troublesome."

"Don't worry, with Vinette there, she'll stop them in time." Alma, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by this, calmly sipping her sweet wine as she spoke.

Alma had witnessed Raphiel and Gabriel's ability to cause trouble many times, but as long as Winette was around, the three of them couldn't really cause any major chaos.

Sure enough, as soon as Alma finished speaking, the holy light in the sky disappeared, and the ordinary people around seemed to have not seen this magical scene at all, and continued to play calmly.

"Vina, how come you guys brought out holy light just by praying for a blessing?"

On the other side, after noticing the commotion at Winette and the others, Tsuchimikado Fuyu quickly put down his darts, pulled Hinata along, and walked over to them, asking in confusion.

“Ask them,” Vinette said angrily as she led Raphiel and the other woman over. “Honestly, don’t do things that will cause a commotion!”

"Sorry, it's just a habit," Raphiel said apologetically. "I accidentally mistook a blessing for my daily prayer, hehe!"

"Good grief, it's one thing for you guys to come and pray for blessings, but to actually wreak havoc on someone's place, aren't you afraid they'll come after you?" Tsuchimikado Touyu lightly flicked Raphiel's forehead and said speechlessly.
