After watching the brief fireworks display, everyone drew a fortune stick, made a wish, and then prepared to go home.

As it turns out, the shrine didn't have a script; Thor and Satania were simply lucky.

For example, Tsuchimikado Fuyu also got a very bad omen, but the content above it was nonsense.

Trouble followed one after another.

Bloodshed is inevitable.

Courage and strength bring good fortune.

A dreamlike ideal, a fleeting illusion.

The first two sentences are easy to understand; they just mean that his luck has been terrible all year!

However, the last two sentences sound cryptic and seem like they were just randomly pieced together.

Moreover, generally speaking, the fortune slips at shrines are all about common things like wishes and love!

Why is it that when it comes to my own writing, it's like I just casually wrote a few perfunctory sentences?

Of all the others, none could be more ridiculous than his own.

"Xiao Dong, do you want to come along? It's a bit small, though." Kobayashi looked at the large group of people behind Tsuchimikado Dong and scratched his head a little embarrassedly as he spoke.

They were just discussing inviting everyone to their home so they could watch the sunrise together on the first day of the new year tomorrow morning, so she was thinking of having Tsuchimikado Fuyu go over.

“Cousin, no need.” Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook her head and refused, “There are too many people if we go over there.”

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't take the opportunity to invite everyone to his home, not because he found it troublesome, but because this was Kobayashi and Tohru's home turf, and if he invited everyone instead, wouldn't that be overstepping his bounds?

Even though they are all relatives, it's not a good idea to do this.

Moreover, while people have visited our home more than once or twice, they rarely visit Xiaolin's house.

"Okay, then be careful on your way home," Xiaolin nodded and said.

After discussing it, Xiaolin and the others prepared to go home.

While Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others didn't go, Alma did.

The Kobayashi family gathering was practically a dragon's gathering, and as someone who also came from the dragon realm, she naturally couldn't be absent.

After Kobayashi and the others left, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others didn't stay there long either, and soon went home.

They didn't see any other friends when they arrived, but they ran into quite a few people on their way back.

For example, the Fujiwara Chika sisters, the Kousaka Kyosuke siblings, the Shirogane Miyuki siblings, and so on, most of them had finished their first participation and were preparing to go home.

……

Back home, instead of going to sleep or participating in the shikigami's New Year celebration in the courtyard, everyone went back to their rooms, changed their clothes, packed their things, and waited for the car arranged by Kyoko Kurahashi to go home.

"Tou-nii, we're going home now. Come visit us in the next few days if you're free!" Hinata said to Tsuchimikado Tou, sitting in the car.

"I'll come when I have time," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Suddenly, just as the car was about to start, Tsuchimikado Fuyu remembered something. "Wait, don't rush off. I need to go back to my room for a bit. Wait for me."

Under everyone's curious gaze, Tsuchimikado Fuyu hurriedly ran back to his room and came out with a large stack of envelopes.

"I almost forgot, this is your New Year's money." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, taking out three envelopes and handing them to Hinata, Tamaki, and Kuroneko respectively.

"I don't think I need to," the black cat said, somewhat puzzled.

"The New Year's money that Hinata and Tamaki received was from me as their older brother. As for you, it was from your husbands."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu said matter-of-factly, "Although it's not much money, it's at least a token of my appreciation, so please don't refuse."

Upon hearing this, the black cat had nothing more to say and silently accepted the envelope.

Hinata and Tamaki happily opened the envelope, only to find 20,000 yen inside. They both exclaimed in surprise and then happily said, "Thank you, Fuyu-nii-chan!"

After seeing off the black cat and the others, Nibutani Morika, Mrs., and Sagiri got into the next car. Mrs. and Sagiri's family also lived in Chiba City, so they were also leaving that night.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu naturally gave New Year's money to Nibutani Morika and Sagiri, but he didn't give his wife any, because he had no reason to.

As an adult, the wife prepared a New Year's gift for everyone, but she had already given it to them during the day.

After Black Cat and the others left, the house suddenly became much quieter, but that's nothing compared to what will happen tomorrow, as even more people will be leaving.

Since everyone was seeing off Kuroneko and the others, Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave out New Year's money to everyone.

Of course, this does not include Gabriel, Satania, and Kyoko Kurahashi.

It's not about favoritism, it's just that there's no reason to hold it together!

Among the others, except for Ji Yue, who received New Year's money meant for her younger sister, the others received New Year's money meant for their girlfriends.

But none of the three of them... had any of these connections.

To be precise, Gabriel and Satania are just friends who freeload off each other, while Kyoko Kurahashi... logically speaking, she should be the one giving New Year's money to Fuyu and Himezuki.

After all, apart from his wife, she was the only adult among them.

Of course, these are just theoretical statements, but none of the three of them, including Gabriel, are people who follow the normal path.

Kyoko Kurahashi, needless to say, simply acted silly and cute, clinging to Tou Tsuchimikado's leg and calling him "Onii-chan," managing to get a New Year's money from him.

What she really cared about wasn't the New Year's money, but whether Tsuchimikado Fuyu considered her one of his own.

So even if she has to be a liar, she'll still get a share. If Tsuchimikado Fuyu gives it to her, it means she's still one of her own.

And Gabriel!

Well, she hasn't woken up yet. Otherwise, if she did, who knows what earth-shattering things she might do for that New Year's money.

After all, she has no morals whatsoever when it comes to money.

What's the point of having moral integrity?

Is that thing edible, or can it be used to spend money on in-game purchases?

That's 20,000! That's equivalent to what I spend on in-game purchases every month.

As for Satania... she stared blankly at the New Year's money in everyone's hands, then looked at her own empty hands, and asked Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a bewildered expression, "Why? Are you looking down on me?"

Why do Vinette and the others get New Year's money, but I don't?

"What reason do I have to give it to you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked helplessly.

"Then what reason do you have to give them that?"

"My sister and her girlfriend."

“Then I…” Satania pointed to herself, then froze, realizing that she really didn’t have any connection with Tsuchimikado Fuyu!

"See? So it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that there's really no reason!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a shrug.

This time it wasn't that he was bullying Satania, but rather that if the reason wasn't appropriate, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Chapter 1023 Raphiel, who lacks martial virtue

The next day, early in the morning.

Everyone got up early to the sound of the alarm clock. It was just getting light. After a quick wash, they went up to the rooftop to wait for the New Year's sunrise.

"Jia, hurry up, the sun is about to rise." At this moment, in the room, Vinette grabbed Gabriel, who was still sleeping in, and hurriedly pulled her upstairs.

"So what if I come out? What's it to me?" Gabriel yawned, her dark circles under her eyes, and said unhappily.

As soon as they reached the top floor, the sun rose, and the gentle warmth of the sun shone on them, making them feel cozy and comfortable.

"Wow! The sun is rising." Alma said with a smile, clinging to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arm.

"Yes, it's rising!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.

"I hope this year will be a good year," said the crab man, hugging Tsuchimikado Fuyu's other arm.

"Tch! It's just a sunrise! It's keeping me from sleeping," Gabriel said dismissively.

“Xiao Jia, the New Year’s sunrise is special, it’s a sunrise that you can only see once a year,” Winette explained.

"In the end, isn't this just a sunrise? It's no different from any other day."

Gabriel had absolutely no interest in such things. After standing in the cold wind upstairs for a minute, she shivered, quickly slipped back downstairs, and crawled into bed to go back to sleep.

The others didn't stay upstairs for long either. The warm feeling on their bodies was just an illusion. When the cold wind blew up, the people who had run up in their pajamas couldn't stand it anymore and hurried back to their rooms to sleep.

Of course, some didn't go back to sleep, like Winette. She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast with Xiaoyi and the others.

For example, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Raphiel, they're already awake, why are they still sleeping? Don't they know that every moment of springtime is worth a fortune!

Besides, Raphiel is going home for a week today, so how could the two of them not take advantage of the little time left to continue doing something that makes people happy!

Yes, you see, that's right, just keep going!

Because Raphiel was going home today, she and Tsuchimikado Fuyu fought until now last night. If they hadn't been going to watch the sunrise, they probably would have fought another three hundred rounds!

This was all thanks to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's cultivation of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Raphiel became a mid-level angel, which greatly improved his physical abilities, but the problem is that this guy has no martial ethics.

Whenever I'm exhausted from a battle, I just cast a Holy Light on myself to fully restore my stamina and heal my body at the same time.

As the saying goes, a good fire consumes a lot of charcoal, and a good woman can ruin a man. This kind of guy who doesn't have martial virtue is more than just a useless man; he can even grind an iron pestle into a needle!

Fortunately, although Raphiel lacks martial ethics and always cheats, Tsuchimikado Tou also has a cheat code!

Under the influence of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, Tu Yumen Dong fought with increasing ferocity, and his strength increased rapidly, gaining several hundred experience points in just one night. Raphiel also saw a slight improvement in her strength.

Although the subsequent improvements are not as rapid as those from the first kill, as long as you persevere, your strength will eventually increase.

……

In the morning, everyone gradually woke up naturally from their sleep. After having breakfast, they had to prepare to go home.

However, during the meal, everyone saw an interesting news item: a photo of a humanoid holy light above a shrine, with the caption "Unknown creature discovered on New Year's Day!"

It's no surprise that this is Gabriel. After seeing the news, Gabriel was speechless and vowed never to drink again, because fake alcohol is harmful!

If Erkoya hadn't stopped her, she wouldn't have just had her living expenses deducted, and who knows what other punishment she might have received!

If she's forbidden from descending to the mortal realm, she'll regret it to death!
