Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Shimizu Suzune has always thought sheep were very cute, so of course she wanted to get closer to see them since she had the chance.

And so, Makoto Araki was led by Suzune Shimizu and trotted toward the flock of sheep.

……

……

The scene of Shimizu Rin taking Araki Makoto to play on the grassland was witnessed by Fujita Mino and Kitamura Eri, who rushed over.

The price they had to pay to get here was much higher than that of Makoto Araki and Suzune Shimizu, since they couldn't teleport and their divine power was very limited.

In order to arrive here safely, they had no choice but to take a flight bound for the northwest of the Divine Dragon Continent.

As for how they boarded the flight, they certainly didn't do so through normal means, because they were considered "smuggled immigrants."

Even though they traveled by plane, they still arrived half a day later than Shimizu Suzune and Araki Makoto. By the time they reached the northwest of the Divine Dragon Continent, it was already noon.

It's worth noting that Kitamura Eri is still a ghost, and in principle, she is quite afraid of sunlight, so she only dares to hide in the car.

Furthermore, the car curtains had to be drawn, and the air conditioning had to be turned down to the lowest setting so that she could be comfortable.

As for where they got their SUV, don't ask. They just borrowed it from someone else.

The two sat in the off-road vehicle, watching the deity and the messenger comfortably lying in the sun on the grassland. Occasionally, they would return to the yurt, take out several skewers of mutton, and eat them heartily, which was the envy of everyone around them.

Fujita Mino turned her head and sought Kitamura Eri's opinion: "Should we join them?"

Kitamura Eri's eyes were indeed filled with envy, but then she thought about it again and considered her own situation: "But I'm afraid I'll feel bad if I leave my comfortable place..."

Fujita Mino could only sigh helplessly: "Fine, I'll do as you say."

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri panicked: "Ah, no need, Fujita, you're not afraid of the sun, you can join them!"

Fujita Mino thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be a third wheel, let alone a light bulb that's several hundred watts long."

"Huh? Could it be a third wheel?" Kitamura Eri shook her head, asking in confusion, "Logically speaking, you are all women of God..."

Fujita Mino, being a naive young girl, couldn't withstand Kitamura Eri's teasing and blushed instantly.

Her face flushed red, she instinctively retorted, "You're his woman!"

She had only intended to retort, but to her surprise, Kitamura Eri laughed genuinely: "Hehe, being his woman is a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes!"

Seeing that the other party didn't support her, Fujita Mino could only purse her lips and say with a look of disdain, "Good fortune, all you know is good fortune!"

Kitamura Eri seemed to realize that her words had gone a bit too far, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, I was just joking! My favorite is of course you, Fujita! I love you!"

Fujita Mino rolled her eyes at her: "No, I can't accept that, go to your loving Kami-sama!"

Seeing that her attempts to be cute weren't working, Kitamura Eri intensified her efforts, even shaking her hand and saying, "Oh, please forgive me!"

"Okay, okay!" Fujita Mino couldn't stand the coquettishness any longer and was just about to say she forgave them when they saw someone walking towards them.

Upon closer inspection, they recognized him as someone they knew very well—the High God.

"Kami-sama?!" The two women were surprised in unison; they had not expected to disturb the High God.

Makoto Araki first went to the driver's side window, glanced at the petite girl sitting in the seat, and asked with some doubt, "Wait, do you have a driver's license? You're driving?"

Yes, the person sitting in the seat was not Fujita Mino but Kitamura Eri. The former was not old enough to drive and had neither driving experience nor a driver's license.

Kitamura Eri scoffed, her face full of disdain: "What?! I didn't drive, why would I need a driver's license?"

Araki Makoto looked at him with disdain: "If you didn't drive, then did this car drive itself here?"

“That’s true.” Kitamura Eri became smug, tilting her head back and putting her hands on her hips. “My car has Level 5 autonomous driving!”

"Really? Let me see." Upon hearing the technological term "L5 autonomous driving," Makoto Araki immediately perked up. He wanted to see what kind of cutting-edge technology this car possessed.

When Makoto Araki got into the second row to check out "Zenith Technology," he discovered that they were driving nothing more than an ordinary gasoline-powered car.

Araki Makoto replied with a look of disdain: "Isn't this just a gasoline car? How can it have Level 5 autonomous driving?"

"Of course I do! I'll tell you secretly how I did it!" Kitamura Eri became serious. She said, "Actually, I just grabbed a hapless kid who knew how to drive on the street and made him drive for me. Isn't that like Level 5 autonomous driving?"

"This works?" Araki Makoto instantly lost interest and scoffed, "So this is it? I thought it was some kind of high-tech marvel! Isn't this just a human driving it?"

In the end, Kitamura Eri just smiled and said, "As long as it can be driven, hehe."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Araki Makoto was too lazy to argue with Kitamura Eri. He looked at Fujita Mino in the passenger seat and asked, "Fujita, why aren't you saying anything?"

Fujita Mino hadn't expected to be called on so suddenly, and stammered, "Kami-sama, I..."

Seeing her reaction, Kitamura Eri was a little confused. Wasn't she so arrogant just now? How come she became a completely different person after seeing the High God?!

"Fine, you tell me..." Araki Makoto shook his head, impatient to listen to Fujita Mino, and pointed at Kitamura Eri: "You tell me, why are you here at this time?"

Kitamura Eri stated firmly, "We originally intended to seek out the High God."

"Oh? What do you want?" As soon as Araki Makoto said this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have made a promise about something before.

“Oh, I almost forgot, I need to replace the demonic power in your body with divine power.” Araki Makoto suddenly realized, and before they could react, he continued, “Come with me, I’ll take you to have the ‘surgery’.”

As he spoke, Makoto Araki vanished from the second row of seats in a flash of light, taking Eri Kitamura with him from the driver's seat.

In the huge Land Rover, only a somewhat bewildered Fujita Mino remained in the passenger seat.

She looked at the sky outside; the sun was shining brightly. Thinking that staying in the car any longer wouldn't do, she got out.

She started walking towards the yurt.

Inside the yurt, only Shimizu Suzune was there; the others had disappeared.

"Eh? Fujita? What are you doing here?" Shimizu Suzune, who was eating roasted lamb in the tent, noticed Fujita Mino's arrival.

Fujita Mino walked in, smiled, and said, "I came here because I smelled Shimizu-neechan's scent!"

However, Shimizu Suzune wasn't buying it: "Stop making fun of me. Let me guess, you were probably attracted by the scent of the High God, weren't you? You little brat."

As a result, Fujita Minoto remained stubborn: "Oh dear, how could you say that to me, sister? I wouldn't have come here specifically for a man!"

Shimizu Suzune smiled wryly and said, "Alright, alright, I know you're doing this for me, not for a man, okay?"

She turned to look outside and suddenly asked, "By the way, did you see Camille-sama when you came in? He just said he was going out and it's been a while..."

Fujita Mino nodded and said, "Oh, Kamisama, he went to the realm of gods with Kitamura. He said he's going to modify Kitamura's body and change his blood!"

"I see..." Shimizu Rinne nodded in agreement. Then, she pointed to the roasted mutton on the folding table: "Eat up, it's freshly roasted, authentic roasted mutton from the Divine Dragon Continent! It's delicious!"

She gave a thumbs up.

Fujita Mino was skeptical. "Is it really that delicious? It's not like I've never had grilled skewers before..."

But when Fujita Mino actually picked up a skewer of grilled lamb and put it in her mouth, she discovered that her taste buds were treated to an unprecedented feast.

What a rare delicacy!

The meat is perfectly marbled, bursting with juice in every bite! After just one bite, Fujita Mino's defenses crumbled.

"Is it delicious?" Shimizu Suzune's lips curled up slightly, unable to contain her joy.

Yes, Shimizu Suzune has now fallen in love with the Divine Dragon Continent. She's thinking that if she can win over one more person with food, the probability of them coming here in the future will greatly increase.

Shimizu Rinne could already guess that Fujita Mino wanted to eat roasted lamb, which was why she begged the High God to bring her to the Divine Dragon Continent.

At that time, Shimizu Suzune can naturally come along too!

It sounds wonderful!

The simple-minded Fujita Mino had no idea that her stomach had been used!

Two young girls are enjoying mutton on the grasslands, while a god and his servant are working hard on horseback in the divine realm. Meanwhile, a divine messenger in the city is troubled by matters concerning the shrine. Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

Tokyo.

Chiyoda Ward.

Ara Shrine.

As a novelist, Risa Ishikawa is highly intelligent. She understands very well that running a shrine is a business, and she feels that it's better to hire someone in the industry than to try to do it herself.

As for herself, she only needs to be a hands-off manager.

Therefore, Risa Ishikawa sent invitations to the chief priests and deputy chief priests of major shrines in Tokyo, Japan, asking them if they were interested in serving as deputy chief priests of Ara Shrine or concurrently.

More than thirty deputy palace chiefs came to the meeting; they were all people who absolutely supported Lord Aragami.

Sure enough, Risa Ishikawa appointed a first vice-priest in one go, and also appointed ten other vice-priests.

Ara Shrine, the largest shrine in Tokyo and even in all of Japan, begins operations today!

Chapter 210 Ice Core

Tokyo!

Chiyoda Ward.

Ara Shrine.

Another new day.

Initially, the priests planned to hold the shrine's opening ceremony today, but Ishikawa Risa believed that the gloom above the shrine had not yet been dispelled, so the opening date was to be determined.

In order to open for business as soon as possible, accumulate incense offerings for the High God, and also to make a lot of money, Ishikawa Risa decided to take the initiative.

She climbed to the top of the tallest building in the shrine, activated her third eye, and analyzed the haze overhead.

This analysis is remarkable.

She discovered that the formation of these shadows was not caused by a single individual, which meant that the enemy she was about to face was not the Ghost King, but many small ghosts who roamed the night.

After much thought, Risa Ishikawa finally understood: the procession of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) seemed to be passing through this area recently.

If that's true, it only shows that those blind demons really showed no respect for the Aragami.

After careful consideration, Risa Ishikawa decided to launch a powerful attack, and she would do it alone.

Time flies.

Soon, it was exactly six o'clock in the evening. Ishikawa Risa persuaded all the staff at the shrine to leave, and then, holding a beckoning staff, she hid in a certain shrine.

This shrine is located in the very center of the shrine complex, and the site where the shrine was built was intended to serve as its main hall.

In the design concept of shrines, the so-called main hall refers to the dwelling place of the gods, so in the initial design, such shrines did not have structures such as "doors" and "windows".

Because it has no doors or windows and is not intended for ordinary people to live in, ordinary people naturally cannot enter the temple in a normal way.
