I have an unlimited number of shikigami

I earned 1000 million yen from daily tasks and 300 million yen from various part-time jobs.

The monthly living expenses were about 10 yen, which amounted to 120 million yen per year. In addition, there was a 300 million yen tuition fee per year, which was paid for two years in total.

After a quick calculation, I arrived at the answer.

[Deposits: Approximately 1400 million yen]

On top of that, we also need to add the 300 million yen we earned today, for a total of 1700 million yen.

Only with a clear understanding of oneself can one know how far one is from the goal. Fujiwara Izaya began to calculate how much money he was currently short.

[Renovation of the worship hall: Budget 1 million yen.]

[Complete supporting facilities: Budget of 5000 million yen.]

Repairing the worship hall is the top priority at present.

A shrine that is too dilapidated will not attract anyone to offer incense or money; people won't even bother to enter the gate.

With an investment of 1.5 million, the worship hall can be restored to its original condition. In addition, supporting facilities such as torii gates, approach paths, lanterns along the approach paths, purifying fountains, wishing ema (votive plaques), and saffron altars can also be built.

Although it can't compare to a large landowner like Meiji Shrine, it's still a proper shrine!

After the worship hall is repaired, we need to consider the residential area.

There's plenty of open space in the shrine, and he plans to build a large villa that can comfortably house ten people at once—as a loving master who cares for his shikigami, he'll definitely provide each beautiful shikigami with a separate bedroom in the future.

[Large Villa: Budget of 1.5 Million Yen]

With accommodation sorted out, the next step is to consider building a multi-purpose temple.

The dojo can be used by fellow practitioners to exchange skills and test the strength of their shikigami. Furthermore, since shrine maidens will definitely be recruited in the future, the dojo can also provide them with a place to train in archery and martial arts.

[Multi-purpose dojo: Budget 2 million yen]

Next, when we have enough funds, we can build the rest of the shrine's facilities.

For example, the Kagura Hall where shrine maidens perform Kagura dances to worship the gods; the statues of divine messengers; the main hall and its protective barrier; and the main hall where the gods are finally enshrined...

[Supporting facilities: No budget limit...]

After settling the accounts.

Fujiwara Izaya couldn't sleep.

Even a hero can be brought down by a single penny.

Moreover, this isn't just a penny, it's hundreds of millions...

"How about we ask Auntie for some?"

The idea had barely surfaced when it was quickly rejected by Fujiwara Izaya.

Although his aunt was very wealthy, she was still a businessman, and since they weren't related by blood, he had no reason to directly ask her for money.

Besides, if you take money you shouldn't have, you should be prepared to do things you shouldn't do. He didn't want to be bullied by his aunt because of money.

As an old nemesis who has known each other for seventeen years, Fujiwara Ryūya knows that female demon who is eight years older than him all too well.

If Akari is high attack and low defense, then her aunt is high attack and high defense. He can't even handle his lewd junior sister, let alone his lewd aunt.

The Hidden Town has a considerable amount of money in its accounts.

Unfortunately, Fujiwara no Rin cannot be used directly.

The enormous sum of money, whose origins are inexplicable, has a high probability of exposing his true identity. Countless eyes are watching him now; he can't afford to give anything away, or he'll have to carry the train back to his hometown overnight.

The only one we can count on now is Kitagawa Takaki.

As Fujiwara turned off the room lights and lay down in bed, a jumble of thoughts rushed through her mind.

How should I persuade Mr. Kitahara to donate money to repair the shrine during Golden Week?

To what extent should it be repaired?

Oh.

correct.

In Japan, there are strict restrictions on the use of religious land. If you want to renovate a shrine, you have to ask permission from the Bureau of Onmyōryō (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) first, then you can ask a construction team to draw up design drawings, and the drawings also need to be submitted to the Bureau of Onmyōryō for approval before construction can begin.

I need to visit the Yin-Yang Bureau tomorrow...

If I have time, I'll go see Seiji Ikeda to see if I can get a discounted burial plot...

Before he could even ponder many questions, sleepiness washed over him, and as his consciousness began to blur, Fujiwara Izaya tilted his head and drifted into a peaceful sleep.

next morning.

Fujiwara Izaya stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.

He was still sleepy-eyed, with a small tuft of hair sticking up.

A lazy, handsome young man.

Half a minute later...

"Ah~~"

He yawned.

I squeezed out some toothpaste and brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I went into the kitchen, filled a glass with water from the tap, drank it, and then went out for a run.

The Lemon bakery had opened for business, but there were still few customers. Only Yukino Riho was reading a book behind the counter. Fujiwara Izaya ran past the shop, but soon turned back and went in to buy two bags of toast.

Back at Asakusa Shrine, I toasted two slices of the bread I had just bought, fried an egg, and had a glass of milk—that was my breakfast.

I stood in front of the half-length mirror changing clothes, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a gray-blue striped tie.

Wearing a standard school uniform, he managed to make it look like a high-end, handcrafted custom-made garment.

Fujiwara Izaya wet his messy hair, rubbed it, and then straightened his bangs to cover his eyebrows.

The once handsome and somewhat flamboyant boy has transformed into a quiet and well-behaved high school student—this is the image he usually projects.

After tidying up my clothes, I finally called out the two shikigami to guard the house.

Fujiwara Izaya took "Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary" with him and took the tram from Asakusabashi Station to the headquarters of the Onmyōryō (Yin-Yang Bureau).

※※※※※

Sunlight streamed directly into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the pristine white sheets in its warmth.

Kawashima Miki opened her eyes and gave an uncomfortable "hmm".

The approaching nine o'clock morning light stung my eyes like needles.

She had to squint.

My head is spinning terribly.

It seems like he has a very serious hangover.

This is strange.

As a demon, she has never been drunk.

No matter how much alcohol he drank, he would wake up the next morning with a clear mind and be able to immediately give instructions to his subordinates.

But something's really wrong today...

My temples felt dizzy and heavy, as if a thin layer of fog had enveloped my mind, making it impossible for me to even concentrate on thinking.

"What exactly happened last night..." Kawashima Miki scratched her messy hair in distress.

At this moment, she was lying naked on her bed, with her skirt suit and underwear scattered haphazardly on the floor, and her stockings hanging crookedly on the back of the chair, looking as if she had taken them off herself.

Kawashima Miki pulled the towel up to her neck, wrapping it around her sexy, but limp and powerless body.

While suppressing the lingering taste of whiskey in my stomach, I stared blankly at the ceiling. It took about half an hour for my body to regain some strength.

She got out of bed barefoot, stepped over the clothes scattered on the floor, and went to the kitchen, where she drank several glasses of tap water in one go. Then she went into the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, and carefully examined her body in front of the large mirror.

Like a teacher grading exam papers, she checked herself from beginning to end to make sure there were no traces.

"Whoo~"

"That's great!"

Kawashima Miki breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a strange sense of comfort and a sweet sense of languor lingered in her body, and she felt slightly uneasy around her anus, she was ultimately clear-headed and nothing had happened.

"What exactly does this feeling mean...?"

Kawashima Miki pressed her fingertips to her temples, looking quite distressed.

Still in a daze, she lay in the bathtub, turned on the hot water, and washed her whole body with shower gel while trying to recall what happened last night.

Around 9 PM, Jiro Araki sent a message confirming that the junior priest had the strength to rise to a higher rank.

Then, she invited several officials to dinner and asked if they could circumvent the Religious Land Management Law to acquire the land of Asakusa Shrine.

I returned home at midnight.

So what happened next?

After carefully cleaning all her body parts and washing her hair, Kawashima Miki brushed her teeth while trying to recall what had happened after returning home.

I was already quite drunk when I got home in the early hours of the morning.

But I still felt it wasn't enough, so I opened a bottle of whiskey. As I drank, my consciousness became blurred. I vaguely remembered meeting someone somewhere, and that person gave me a lot of food. When I woke up, I was like this.

"Guru Guru~"

"Pah!"

"You bastard!"

After rinsing the foam out of her mouth, Kawashima Miki threw her underwear and stockings on the floor into the laundry basket, changed into a brand-new uniform skirt, put on some makeup, and headed out to the Onmyo-ryo headquarters.
