Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Why would he say that?

Does that mean his word doesn't count?

Risa Ishikawa was very puzzled, but the High God did not give her a chance to continue asking questions and directly asked her to leave.

Risa Ishikawa was kicked out of the virtual shrine's divine realm and returned to the coast where she originally lived.

To her surprise, the coastline was still turbulent, even more so than before.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Slit-Mouthed Woman already destroyed?" Ishikawa Risa looked at the deep sea with this question in mind.

Deep in the ocean lurks a sea monster taller than a dozen-story building, constantly churning the seawater!

So that's why the sea is so turbulent. It seems Ishikawa Risa has to deal with this sea monster.

However, there is another problem: the sea monster is hiding too deep. No matter whether Ishikawa Risa uses normal attacks or ranged attacks, it is difficult to break through the seawater to attack the sea monster.

Just then, Ishikawa Risa suddenly noticed something: the sea monster hiding at the bottom of the sea was looking this way.

Have we been discovered?

Risa Ishikawa was startled and quickly bent down to hide, secretly lamenting her misfortune.

No, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Ishikawa Risa felt that it was far too dangerous for her to fight the sea monster alone.

Previously, it was a test, so she had to act alone, but this time, she hopes to find an organization.

Without hesitation, Risa Ishikawa left the coast, returned to the main road, took a bus and then a tram, and returned to the Tokyo city area.

After returning to the city, Risa Ishikawa went straight to Chiyoda Ward and took a train to the National Diet Building, which is Shintocho Station.

As they approached their destination, Risa Ishikawa noticed something: a number of mysterious vehicles were parked outside the Shinto Hall.

Many priests and priestesses got out of these vehicles and lined up, seemingly preparing to enter the Shinto Hall.

Risa Ishikawa got off at the bus stop and headed straight for Shinto Hall. However, as she was about to enter, she was stopped by a tall, thin police inspector guarding the entrance.

"Hello, this is the Shinto Hall, a restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted." The tall, thin police inspector was none other than Fukuda Sōta.

Risa Ishikawa quickly explained, "I am a divine messenger."

"A divine messenger?" Fukuda Sōta looked her over with a skeptical gaze, and finally concluded, "Not really."

Risa Ishikawa was displeased and retorted, "You're really blind! What makes me seem like a divine messenger?"

“It doesn’t resemble anything at all,” said Sōta Fukuda, shaking his head.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Ishikawa Risa decided to ignore him and started walking to the right, trying to go around him.

Sōta Fukuda immediately blocked her way, still politely warning, "Wait, if you insist on barging in, ma'am, you might end up with a pair of silver bracelets, which is something neither of us wants, right?"

Just as Ishikawa Risa was about to say something, a shrine maiden dressed as a priestess got out of the carriage and walked towards them.

Seeing the argument, she quickly came over and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Fukuda Sōta said with a smile, "Lord Shimizu, it was just a small incident on my end, I'll handle it."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ishikawa Risa ran up to Shimizu Suzune and asked with a beaming smile, "Are you a divine messenger?"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Fukuda Souta tried to grab Ishikawa Risa like a security guard, but his movements were no match for hers, and he missed immediately.

Shimizu Suzune gave the incompetent Fukuda Sōta a disdainful look. "You may leave now."

The orders of the divine messenger are second only to the head of the Shinto Office in rank, so Fukuda Sōta had no choice but to bite the bullet and back down.

Seeing the spoilsport leave, Shimizu Rin walked up to Ishikawa Risa, parted her lips slightly, and said, "Alright, you can tell me what's on your mind now."

In Shimizu Suzune's opinion, the person in front of her was probably someone whose home was haunted and who had come to pray for a divine messenger to exorcise the evil spirits, so she didn't have any hope.

Unexpectedly, Ishikawa Risa said, "I am Lord Aragami's messenger."

Shimizu Suzune was slightly taken aback, her mind almost unable to process what she was seeing, before she began to seriously consider this serious problem.

Then, Shimizu Suzune crossed her arms and looked at Ishikawa Risa's face with great interest. "How can you prove you're a divine messenger?"

“I…” Risa Ishikawa said, extending her right hand. Then a scepter of destiny appeared in her hand, accompanied by divine light.

Upon seeing the matchmaking staff, Shimizu Suzune understood everything and immediately took Ishikawa Risa's hand gently, saying, "Come in."

The two then entered the Shinto Hall, where Shimizu Suzune led Ishikawa Risa to her office as the First Divine Messenger and asked her to sit down.

Afterwards, Shimizu Suzune thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.

Ishikawa Risa, slightly flattered, accepted the water. "Thank you."

Shimizu Suzune pulled up a chair and sat down facing her. "Tell me about your origins. When did you become a divine messenger? And what weapon do you use?"

Risa Ishikawa took a sip of water and slowly began to speak: "It's a long story..."

The two talked face to face. Shimizu Suzune barely spoke throughout, and it took about ten minutes for Ishikawa Risa to finally explain her background.

“…That’s how it is.” After saying that, Ishikawa Risa took another sip of water.

After a moment's thought, Shimizu Suzune summarized what she had said:

"You mean you met Lord Aragami at the beach, and then he led you to the realm of the gods, bestowed upon you a divine staff, and sent you down to earth to destroy the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and you succeeded?"

“Yes.” Risa Ishikawa nodded.

Shimizu Suzune added, "After that, he brought you back, and you saw the sea monster again at the beach?"

Risa Ishikawa thought for a moment and said, "That sea monster is terrifying. I originally wanted to deal with it, but it hid at the bottom of the sea and didn't come out. It just stirred up the seawater."

Shimizu Suzune nodded: "I understand. I'll send someone to investigate in a bit."

She stood up and said, "Okay, I'll print out a form for you first. You can fill in your basic information for record-keeping. Then I'll give you two sets of shrine maiden outfits, which will be your work clothes from now on."

“Okay…” Ishikawa Risa had no objections; she had long wanted to become a divine messenger.

While Ishikawa Risa was filling out her basic information, Shimizu Suzune left the office and prepared to go to Morita Jun's office.

She knocked on the office door, and the other person responded with, "Come in."

Upon entering the office, Shimizu Suzune went straight to the point, saying, "You don't need to go to Hokkaido."

"Huh? Why?" Jun Morita was a little confused. She had planned to leave for Hokkaido this afternoon, and her luggage was already packed.

"You might not believe it, but the Slit-Mouthed Woman has already been wiped out," Shimizu Suzune said, turning around.

That direction leads to her office.

Here, you can even vaguely see what's on the other side through the glass.

"You mean the one who wiped it out? Could it be that the one who did it, that swindler?" Jun Morita asked incredulously.

Shimizu Suzune was taken aback. "Why do you have this misconception that she's a con artist?"

"It's nothing, just a guess," Jun Morita said casually.

Actually, it was that tall, thin Inspector Fukuda Sōta who had just been humiliated, and he came to report to Jun Morita.

Morita Jun was initially skeptical of his report, and considering that the woman was received by Shimizu Suzune, he didn't want to come forward or say anything.

It wasn't until just now, when Shimizu Suzune said that this woman had killed the Slit-Mouthed Woman, that Morita Jun began to have doubts about the matter again.

However, Jun Morita only had suspicions and no evidence, so he could only listen to Suzune Shimizu's words.

Shimizu Suzune said, "She is our newest member, Ishikawa Risa, the Ishikawa Messenger. We should welcome her."

"Okay." Jun Morita could only nod vigorously and listen attentively to her words.

Shimizu Suzune thought for a moment and then said, "She's filling out a form now. After she finishes, could you help her get two sets of shrine maiden outfits? I have important things to do right now."

“Okay, I will.” Jun Morita nodded again, watching Suzune Shimizu walk out of the office and leave the Shinto Hall.

Jun Morita walked out of his office and went to the First Divine Envoy's office, where he saw Risa Ishikawa still filling out forms.

Jun Morita walked straight in: "Excuse me, are you Ms. Risa Ishikawa?"

“Yes, that’s me.” Ishikawa Risa turned her head and immediately noticed Morita Jun’s shrine maiden outfit, her respect rising instantly.

Jun Morita quickly stepped forward to shake hands, saying, "I'm Jun Morita, and I'm so glad you've become a part of our family."

Risa Ishikawa replied, "It's nice to meet you!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two women began the so-called onboarding process for the divine messenger.

The so-called Divine Envoy process is actually only starting now. The process is not complicated; it is mainly to register the information of new Divine Envoys and let everyone get to know each other.

After Ishikawa Risa filled out the form and received two sets of shrine maiden outfits, Morita Jun began to inquire about the details of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Left with no other choice, Ishikawa Risa had to recount the details of the battle once more, details that left Morita Jun completely bewildered.

To be honest, Risa Ishikawa's sudden arrival completely disrupted Jun Morita's plans.

She had originally planned to use the Shinto Hall's name to eliminate the Slit-Mouthed Woman and, incidentally, gain more recognition.

Then there was another purpose, which was to take this opportunity to solicit more funding from the government or Hokkaido.

Unexpectedly, it's gone.

All of this was ruined by the sudden appearance of Risa Ishikawa, who also conveniently eliminated the Slit-Mouthed Woman for free.

However, since Ishikawa Risa helped them eliminate the Slit-Mouthed Woman, it was ultimately a good thing.

Besides, it wasn't Ishikawa Risa's wish to destroy the Slit-Mouthed Woman; it was merely a test task from the High God.

Considering that it was an order issued by the Supreme God, Morita Jun couldn't investigate whose responsibility it was and could only swallow his grievances.

Left with no other choice, Jun Morita had to report the matter to the Hokkaido police after compiling the relevant information, informing them that they had already dispatched personnel to eliminate the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

In the official document, Jun Morita's wish was that the High God would allow a new divine messenger to be born and, incidentally, eliminate the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

This is the power of rhetoric.

Send, waiting for a response.

As expected, the Hokkaido police subsequently replied, agreeing with the Shinto Agency's statement and saying that they would make the payment later.

Make payment, but what kind of payment?

Of course, it was the funds that the local people raised voluntarily in order to ask the Shinto Agency to take action as soon as possible to eliminate the Kuchisake-onna!

After taking care of everything, Jun Morita introduced Risa Ishikawa to the Commissioner and the various police inspectors, explaining the work of the Divine Messenger to her.

The job is simple. Aside from fighting, all I need to do right now is process some online information and documents.
