Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

Ge Jingli rubbed the Pure Glass Mirror in her hand, feeling that the mirror surface was not as bright as before.

I sniffed it suspiciously. Besides the sulfurous smell unique to hell, there seemed to be another smell lingering on the mirror.

The somewhat guilty shrine maiden interrupted her.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to start?"

Urged on by the shrine, Kagome Ruri stopped worrying about these trivial details and began to work.

Activating the Pure Glass Mirror, the sleeping Ibuki reappeared in the mirror, but now her expression showed some pain.

As Kajō Ruri continued to increase her power, Ibuki's expression became increasingly painful, and her already illusory soul gradually began to appear as if it were doubled.

The separation of a part of the soul is naturally extremely painful, but to this extent, it is not enough to make one feel sorry for the soul.

Pulled by an invisible force, another Ibuki was forcibly pulled out.

However, this new Ibuki began to change rapidly after being separated. Snake scales crawled all over its body along its limbs, and it soon transformed into a non-human snake monster.

"An independent, wild soul cannot control its violent desires, and its only fate is to become a monster. It's not a big deal."

Kajou Ruri explained, then separated the two souls, leaving the wild soul, which had transformed into a beast, in the mirror, while the original Ibuki was given to the shrine.

"Is this okay?"

Having obtained what they needed, Kagome Ruri waved to the Shrine.

Although Ibuki's Ara-Tama was separated, her sleeping face became more peaceful, which will probably affect her personality to some extent.

All that's needed now is for the shrine to create a new body for her, and she will be able to be resurrected smoothly.

The matter of Ibuki has been completely resolved, and Kajō Ruri, through her personal sacrifice, ensured that the prestige of Hell was not compromised.

Everything seemed to be going well.

"No, there's one more question."

The shrine maiden collected Ibuki's soul and stopped Kajō Ruri, who was about to leave.

"This only solves the problem between the two of us regarding Ibuki, but there's still a problem regarding you that hasn't been solved."

Fish that have fallen into the net cannot simply be released back.

"Of course, I'm not stopping you from going back; I'm just reminding you."

Jingu approached Kajō Ruri, lifting the pretty face of this Enma.

"Don't lock the door to the Yama's Chamber, or I might kick it down."

Gejing Liuli was prepared for these words; in fact, the fact that the Divine Palace said them made her feel more at ease.

"No need. You can choose to contact me in advance. There's no need to come to hell to find me."

"Huh? Doesn't Enma not have time to rest?"

"I'll find a way to free up some time, so don't worry."

Ge Jing Liuli remained calm. Since there was a first time, there would naturally be a second.

She's already taken advantage of the loophole once, so she wouldn't mind doing it a second time.

All of this is to preserve the prestige of Hell; the fall of one person is better than dragging the entire Hell into the abyss of destruction.

Excuses for coming to the mortal world can always be found; the simplest one is simply using the shrine as a pretext.

"Okay, it seems you were prepared."

The shrine will no longer obstruct.

Finally, she exchanged a glance with Ge Jing Liuli.

"See you next time, Shrine."

"No need to be so formal, I might come to you at any time."

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Gejing Liuli glared at the shrine, but immediately collapsed.

There was no point in doing this, because Jingu was the kind of person who did whatever he wanted, whatever came to mind.

It seems I should give some instructions to Ushi-Gozen when I get back, and make some preparations in advance, lest the Shrine suddenly attack one day.

With a final sigh, Kagome Ruri opened the gates of hell and left the shrine.

After seeing off Kajō Ruri, the shrine maiden's attention returned to Ibuki in her hands.

Back inside, Jingu carefully placed Ibuki's soul away, glancing at it with a hint of helplessness.

"You were so restless when you were awake, you probably won't wake up now, will you?"

The reason Ibuki has been in a deep sleep is because she lacks the nourishment of her body; a weak soul cannot recover on its own.

Therefore, the most important thing for the shrine now is to create a new body for Ibuki.

However, this presents a problem: although Jingu has seen most of Ibuki's body, there are still some of the most important parts that he has not seen.

Is he shaping it according to his own preferences? Or should he respect the original and try to understand Ibuki's original body configuration?

This is really a dilemma. If I had known, I should have tried to see her naked while she was still alive.

She tapped her head in distress, but Jingu thought that even Ibuki's best friends probably hadn't seen the whole picture, and even if they had, they might not remember it.

Moreover, asking a woman about the size, shape, texture, hair, and appearance of her best friend is rather perverted.

He can just make one himself; it'll work anyway.

Without further ado, the shrine was about to take action, just as it was about to squeeze out a drop of blood from its own body, when suddenly someone from the shrine arrived.

Moreover, she's someone he really needs right now.

"Hey, what brings you here all of a sudden? Didn't you say you'd had enough of Tokyo?"

Having temporarily put aside the matter of massaging Ibuki's body, Jingu went to the front hall.

"The Shrine..."

The Great God's expression was complex, seemingly anxious but also unsure of what to say.

"It's okay, just say what's on your mind, I don't mind."

The Great God clearly had something to ask of her, but didn't know how to ask, so the shrine told her to say whatever she wanted and not to worry about those things.

"Um...actually, I wanted to ask you for a favor."

After hesitating for a moment, the Great God of the Ninja Kingdom finally sighed and spoke.

"I hesitated for a long time, but after thinking about it, I realized that I should bear at least half the responsibility for what happened to Ibuki. If she is to go to hell, I should bear at least half of the sins."

"But Hell won't give me that kind of leeway, so I can only ask you if there's any way to bring Ibuki back from Hell, whether by stealing or robbing."

The meaning of the myth of the Great Ruler is quite clear at this point.

Although she told herself that it was the self-destruction that Ibuki herself was pursuing, after tossing and turning all day, she still couldn't convince herself to sit idly by.

But hell is merciless. Even the supreme deity of a great nation will not show favoritism. Souls that have fallen into hell cannot be easily taken out.

After much deliberation, the only option left for the Great God was to seek out the Divine Palace, hoping that it might have some solution. After all, it was he who had ordered the destruction of Hell, so he certainly wouldn't care about such a thing.

"Of course, I know this request will be difficult for you, so as long as you can bring Ibuki to me, I swear in the name of the Okuninushi God that I am willing to do anything for you."

Chapter 263 It would be better to be reborn

unlike myself

Such things and ideas would never have been considered by the Great God in the past.

To avoid trouble, not to get involved in the affairs of the outside world, and even less to want to clash with hell, the Great God is a complete escapist.

It might even come to the point of being considered cowardly, choosing to do such a thing for a so-called offspring with whom one has no feelings whatsoever.

This is something that the Great God would never have made in the past.

But perhaps because she had been in contact with the shrine for a period of time and was influenced by it, she also had such dangerous thoughts.

Torn and conflicted, even though she had considered that this matter might cause conflict between Hell and the Divine Palace, she couldn't help but come to plead with the Divine Palace.

The human heart is such a complex and contradictory thing that even gods cannot escape its constraints.

After expressing his request, he saw that the shrine did not respond, but instead seemed to be thinking.

The Great God was slightly disappointed. Indeed, it was a bit too much to ask of someone.

Hmm... the shrine is just pondering whether he should tell the truth or accept the suggestion from the Ōkuninushi-no-kami, making it convenient to use this request to do something.

After all, if we miss this opportunity, there may not be a next time.

"Is that not enough? Then I can add all my other avatars as well, Ox-Headed Heavenly King, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Horse-Headed Lord... all of them are fine."

The Great God, as if listing his treasures, staked out all his many incarnations.

"Sigh, never mind, come with me."

After some deliberation, Jingu gave up. He wasn't a bad person and couldn't bring himself to use coercion or fraud.

Let's just be honest and wait for our chance.

With Ōkuninushi in tow, they returned to the room where Ibuki's soul was kept. Only after seeing Ibuki sleeping soundly on the bed did Ōkuninushi finally feel at ease.

That's true. How could someone like Jingu possibly throw Ibuki into hell? He was just being too concerned.

Feeling somewhat that his worries from yesterday were pointless, the Great God couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Sigh, it seems I worried for nothing."

Jingu reached out and gently stroked Ibuki's brow, a sight that stirred a sense of emotion within him.

The parent-child relationship is truly the most complex relationship in the world.

“Although you have already done it, the conditions I just mentioned still stand.”

With a hint of reluctance, the Great God raised his hand and took two steps back.

From now on, her relationship with Ibuki will truly be that of two completely unrelated people.

The buried past no longer needs to be mentioned by anyone.
