Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Chapter 82 New Artifact

After careful consideration, Makoto Araki decided not to exchange for the Demon King Urban Legend for the time being, as he still didn't have enough of the Demon King's Tales.

This is understandable, as it's already late at night in Japan, and most people are asleep and can't see the news, so they naturally can't provide it to Makoto Araki.

As dawn broke, Kisaragi Station closed, and that night, Kisaragi Station's record was "zero".

Unfortunately, the police have declared an "emergency" in Tokyo, controlling traffic and prohibiting public transportation from operating at night, rendering the Kisaragi Station scene ineffective.

Kisaragi Station has actually accomplished most of its mission, but it's unclear when it will be able to "settle accounts" like Kikuko Yamamura and return all the expenses.

The bigger problem now is the combat readiness of Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino; it's uncertain whether they can shoulder the great responsibility of being "the light of humanity."

To shoulder great responsibilities, one must first have sufficient ability.

With this in mind, Makoto Araki decided to open the item shop and help the two divine messengers find more items to enhance their strength.

After entering the item shop, Makoto Araki browsed through the items for a long time but didn't find any that appealed to him. The items in this section either had very weak attributes or too many side effects, and he felt that they were not up to the task.

Or how about we take a look at this amazing artifact?

However, the starting price of these divine artifacts is simply too high, and it would be painful for Araki Makoto to part with them if they were used by divine messengers.

Let's see how it goes first.

Click on "Artifact Shop"!

As soon as I opened it, I found a pretty cool-looking gadget.

【Yata no Kagami】

[Note: One of the three sacred treasures revered in folk religion; Yata no Kagami means "great" or "beautiful." The Yata no Kagami originated from a water mirror on the Divine Dragon Continent, also known as a "mirror." It was originally a metal basin filled with water, used to reflect one's image. Later, it gradually evolved into a bronze mirror, with auspicious patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, and white cranes engraved on the back.]

[Special Feature: Objects illuminated by the Yata Mirror will possess an amulet-repelling (consecration) effect for a period of time.]

[Demand - Fear: 50000]

This artifact is quite good. I feel that if it were replaced and given to Shimizu Suzune and the others, they could train them to create consecrated artifacts and form a large-scale team to fight against ghosts.

However, this price is still a bit too expensive. Let's see how much it costs first.

Fear continues to grow.

[Current - Fear: 69900]

In just half an hour, the number of deaths increased by nearly 30,000. I can't imagine how shocked the Japanese will be when they see today's Asahi headline after dawn!

One hundred thousand?

Two hundred thousand?

Makoto Araki isn't guessing now!

As dawn broke outside, Makoto Araki murmured, "Anyway, let's replace this Yata no Kagami first..."

Purchase successful

[Consumption - Fear: 50000]

[Current - Fear: 19900]

After making the purchase, Makoto Araki immediately picked up and shook the Kagura Bell, which produced a clear sound and summoned Suzune Shimizu.

Shimizu Rinne, who had been summoned, was initially a little tired due to staying up all night, but she woke up instantly.

"Ah, where is this..." Shimizu Suzune frowned. She had never entered a virtual shrine before, but it didn't matter, she recognized the man with the holy light on his face.

Shimizu Suzune immediately knelt down and looked up, saying, "Kami-sama, you were looking for me?"

Araki Makoto glanced at her, but didn't answer her. He simply threw the Yata no Kagami at her.

Shimizu Suzune's pupils widened slightly as she reached out and caught the Yata no Kagami. The divine light emanating from the mirror instantly brought her back to her senses.

I'm wide awake!

Holding the Yata Mirror, Shimizu Rinne opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her god-lord did not give her the chance and sent her back to where she was.

The original location refers to the Shinto Hall.

Tonight, Shimizu Suzune was a little sleepy from all the fuss in the Shinto Hall, so she decided to take a nap on her desk. Little did she know that she would be summoned by the High God.

As for Fujita Mino, she's already asleep in her chair, completely oblivious to what's going on around her.

When she returned to the Shinto Hall, the police officers outside were also busy with their work. Shimizu Suzune decided to play along and continue sleeping.

The problem is, she can't sleep.

I felt like I wouldn't be able to sleep for days after being looked at by the Yata no Kagami!

There was no other way, so Shimizu Suzune had to get up and work. The Shinto Hall was still too new, so she was currently logged into the Yomiyama Shrine's system and doing shrine work!

During this time, a small incident occurred: Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Hall, knocked on his office door.

"Please come in." Shimizu Suzune put down her work and stood up.

Kishimoto Shingo stood at the door, yawned, and continued, "I won't go in. My colleague just reported to me that the slit-mouthed woman's flesh has been burned and buried more than ten meters deep. This guy shouldn't be able to do evil for a while."

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "I understand, Officer. You should get some rest."

After the police officer left, Shimizu Suzune returned to her post to work at her shrine!

Time flies.

It was 8:00 AM.

Shimizu Suzune then remembered that she had an appointment with her father, so she quickly left the Shinto Hall, got into her car, and prepared to drive back to Yomiyama Shrine in Nakano Ward.

However, just as she got into the car, a woman wearing a floral dress and with her hair tied up walked up and stopped the Porsche.

Jun Morita walked up and knocked on the Porsche window. Rin Shimizu then rolled down the window, and she heard, "Are you a divine messenger?"

"I am a divine messenger, so what?" Shimizu Suzune asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jun Morita thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if I count, but I saw that god."

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune felt somewhat incredulous and asked, "Huh? You saw him? When did that happen?"

Jun Morita's eyes gleamed as he said, "It's been quite a few days. I first met him at Kisaragi Station, and the second time I saw him was in an abandoned shrine. But don't ask me what he looks like, I don't know, because he has a 'holy aura' on his face."

Kisaragi Station.

Abandoned shrine.

And "holy light on the face".

Anyone who can connect these three key factors is definitely not simple.

Shimizu Suzune frowned, then said, "Let's talk in the car."

Upon hearing the sound, Jun Morita walked around to the passenger side, opened the car door, and got in. The two then introduced themselves to each other.

"Jun Morita, an otaku girl."

"Oh, my name is Shimizu Suzune, and I am the current First Divine Messenger of the Shinto Agency."

“That’s not right. You said you’ve seen him, so you should be a divine messenger.” Shimizu Suzune changed the subject, took out the Yamato sword, and showed it to Morita Jun.

"Is this a magical artifact?" Jun Morita tilted his head back slightly and asked with a fawning smile.

"What, you don't have one?" Shimizu Suzune pressed.

“No,” Jun Morita sighed.

"What a pity..." Shimizu Rin sighed, then suddenly remembered Morita Jun's height, and then a thought flashed through her mind, and she said, "How about you use this Enma sword?"

Chapter 83 Divine Path Headlines

Life may seem peaceful, but we must not forget that the female ghost, Kikuko Yamamura, is still secretly observing the situation at Shinto Hall. She hides in the shadows and witnesses all the interactions between the police officers, the divine messengers, and Jun Morita.

She also saw the knife. Although she didn't know what the knife was for, she knew that it must be very strange.

This knife, though clearly an item used by a divine messenger, lacks any sense of holiness; instead, it exudes an inexplicable sinister aura.

This knife may have come from hell.

No, not necessarily.

For a fleeting moment, Kikuko Yamamura even wondered if the sword might have come from her own god. But that thought quickly faded away.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Their own supreme deity, the supreme deity of the ghosts, was sent down by heaven to save these poor ghosts. It is impossible for him to cultivate a team of divine messengers to fight against them.

As Kikuko Yamamura was still pondering this, she discovered that the shrine maiden named Suzune Shimizu had actually gifted the Enma sword to Jun Morita.

After obtaining the Yamato, Jun Morita's eyes lost their clarity, and he seemed to have changed completely, becoming "terrifying."

After giving away the knife, Shimizu Suzune's power did not weaken. On the contrary, it gave Yamamura Kikuko a feeling that she was not to be trifled with, probably because she had obtained some kind of extraordinary power again.

So, what about the young lady who was sleeping in the Shinto Hall? How is she? Kikuko Yamamura turned her head and looked inside.

She was stunned when she saw it.

Fujita Mino had woken up and was staring intently at them, the Muramasa she was holding already pushed a distance away.

Discovered?

With a puzzled look in her eyes, Kikuko Yamamura drifted to the left and noticed that Mino Fujita's gaze was also moving to the left.

As a result, the other party said:

"What are you still doing floating up there? I can see you."

However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of starting a war, so Kikuko Yamamura slowly lowered her altitude and floated over.

Kikuko Yamamura looked down at Mino Fujita, her gaze almost threatening, and said, "So what if you see me?"

“You’re different from any of the ghosts I’ve encountered before. There’s no murderous intent in your eyes.” Despite Fujita Mino’s words, she didn’t let her guard down and remained ready to draw her sword at any moment.

Kikuko Yamamura floated in, clearly not to argue with Mino Fujita, but to find out more about the shrine maiden.

Soon, Kikuko Yamamura concluded that if Shimizu Suzune with a sword had a combat power of five, then Fujita Mino would have a power of ten, and Morita Jun would have a power of three.

Although Fujita Mino is the youngest among them, her fighting spirit is the strongest.
