Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

But the fox in the kitchen had already vanished, leaving only the cleaned ingredients; not a single fox hair could be found.

It was all a conspiracy, from the very beginning to being dragged off to drink, it was all a conspiracy.

That celestial dog has absolutely no concept of professional ethics. Even if I hadn't revealed these things to her, she would most likely have written some distorted reports based on other information, such as: "[He is really fast and strong]" or "[Forced to drink? A victim testifies]".

Even the act of getting him drunk was planned; the goal was to get him completely intoxicated so that he would miss the chance to salvage the situation.

The news had spread throughout the newspapers by now; their attempt to steal a chicken had backfired.

Not only did he fail to clear his name, but he made things worse and headed straight for the path of becoming an evil god. If the previous rumors about the shrine's fondness for women were just that, then this newspaper article has completely confirmed those rumors.

You, Izuna Maru, are on my Star Fury list!

I thought Iizuna Maru was an upright, principled, and moral person, but she dared to slander him like that. If it weren't for the presence of Nagai Seiko, Jingu would definitely have fought Iizuna Maru for three hundred rounds and then pinned her down.

Tell her what it means to be a good woman!

Nagai Seiko looked at the shrine with a smile. Of course, she did it on purpose, otherwise she wouldn't have brought this newspaper specifically.

After calming himself down and silently fantasizing about Iizuna Maru a thousand times in his mind, Jingu sat down again.

"So why did you come to my door of your own accord? Did you come to me for help because you don't want to die?"

"No, that's not right. You're the one who wants me to live, aren't you?" Nagai Seiko smiled, showing no fear of dying tomorrow.

"They don't want me to die, and they want to possess me. Isn't this what the shrine wants to do?"

These remarks left Jingu speechless. Although that was indeed what he thought, it felt a little strange to say it that way.

"As a way of repaying your life-saving grace, should I serve you for the rest of my life, forever?"

"Shingu, have you really fallen for me? To do something like this."

The girl asked without changing her expression, leaving everyone guessing what she was thinking.

Jingu couldn't answer. If it was about romantic love, it certainly didn't reach that level. He was just being greedy. It would be too regrettable to let the beautiful girl in front of him wither away.

“If you were to do it, it would be like making enemies of many people. Without me, there would be no one to bear this fear and faith, and many people do not want to see that.”

It seemed as if she was explaining to the shrine, or perhaps persuading him to give up.

"And what about you? Do you want to do it?" Jingu asked in return.

Nagai Seiko paused for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Why not? I was raised by my family from a young age, which gave me power, status, and all the things that ordinary people can't have, so I was prepared to face this situation from childhood."

"If you enjoy the benefits, you must naturally bear the corresponding responsibilities; it's difficult..."

Do you think I'm the kind of person who shirks my responsibilities?

“While that is true, death isn’t the only option, is it?” Jingu stared at Naiji Seiko, trying to read something from her eyes.

The girl smiled gently and said softly, "But I am a human being. Humans always die, just like that stone will inevitably be pulled out. It's inevitable."

“Even if you have a way to solve everything without removing the key stone, I cannot accept it.”

"why?"

If everything can be resolved without removing the key stone, including the turmoil caused by the giant catfish, why not?

Nagai Seiko paused for a moment, then stood up.

"Because I don't want to be your priestess, a nameless guardian, or anything to anyone."

Is this reason acceptable?

The girl turned her back and slowly walked towards the shrine entrance, saying this as she did so.

"I really enjoy chatting with you, Jingu, because you're really interesting. Are we friends?"

"If that's the case, then in the end, please respect my decision and let me do what I like."

"Don't come to save me, don't do anything unnecessary."

Goodbye, and please take good care of yourself in the future.

Standing beneath the torii gate, Seiko Nai waved towards the shrine and shouted loudly:

"If you really miss me, let's meet again on the Sanzu River in hell!"

The girl's voice echoed far and wide, though it sounded like something terrifying like "I'm waiting for you down here."

"She's lying to you. She can't go to the Sanzu River at all. She, who bears the faith and fear of countless people, will become the offering of the sacred stones. Even if you go to hell, you won't find her on Enma's list."

Tamamo-no-Mae appeared silently beside the shrine maiden at some unknown time and spoke softly.

"Of course I know. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Jingu rolled her eyes at her, losing all interest in causing trouble for this fox.

"Then what are you going to do? They've already come to your door to tell you personally, so it seems like the shrine maiden you ordered is going to fall through."

"Tsk..."

Tamamo-no-Mae is right. The other party has already come to his door to persuade him not to do it. The other party made his own choice, and what he said made a lot of sense.

Of course, more importantly, there was that phrase, "I don't want to be anyone's anyone." After thinking about it, Jingu seemed to understand what Meiju Seiko was thinking.

"Should we give up? After all, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere."

"Ugh, this is so annoying. How did I end up in such a troublesome situation?"

Jingu was somewhat agitated by what was being said, so she slumped back and rolled around on the side of the bed.

If it were just about obstacles or hardships, that would be fine. Even if the Three Noble Children were brought out, the Divine Palace would dare to try. But there were no obstacles at all; it was simply that the person himself was unwilling.

This is quite a dilemma. The shrine, for the time being, still respects the wishes of others, except for those who have offended them.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She sat up and slapped the fox's backside, who had been fanning the flames.

"Why are you taking your anger out on me?" Tamamo-no-Mae groaned in pain, rubbing her sore spot as she silently moved away from the shrine.

This guy is becoming increasingly unpredictable, or rather, increasingly capricious. At first, his behavior was quite like that of an adult, but now he's becoming more and more like a fourteen-year-old boy.

"It's so annoying, you know? These kinds of complicated multiple-choice questions are really annoying."

"If you're annoyed, go for a drink. Drink more, and by the time you sober up, she'll have already sent it. Out of sight, out of mind, right?"

"If you're not going to drink, get out!"

Chapter 48 It still has to be the little witch

When Suga returned to the shrine, she found that something seemed amiss.

Jingu looked like a wilted eggplant, his mood somewhat depressed, while Tamamo-no-Mae played on her phone beside him, glancing at Jingu every now and then with a very ambiguous sneer.

What's happening?

Not only Suga Ai, but even Kuga Hikaru, who is a bit oblivious, noticed that something was wrong.

No way!

A very ominous thought suddenly arose in Su Wa'ai's mind, but she quickly suppressed the thought.

How could that be? Given Lord Jingu's personality, if it really happened, he should be happy, not looking so gloomy.

Besides, isn't Tamamo-no-Mae, that fox spirit, always very conservative? It can't be, right?

Could it be that this vixen has been feigning one thing while secretly doing another?

On the surface, she appears uninterested, but hidden beneath her conservative kimono is an incredibly sexy body with a stunning figure, and she even wears sheer silk lingerie every day.

While Lord Jingu was drunk and I was at school, I had already done everything I should and shouldn't have done.

Could it be that Lord Jingu's gloom is...

Thinking of this, although she hated and was even angry at Tamamo-no-Mae's behavior, the girl chose to hold back for the time being and quickly walked to the front of the shrine.

"It's alright, Lord Jingu."

He pulled Jingu into his arms, pressing his softness against Jingu's face, and stroked Jingu's head with both hands.

"It's normal to be a little fast the first time, so don't be sad, Lady Jingu."

The response to Suga Ai's actions was two, no, three people were completely bewildered. Even Kuga Hikaru, whose thinking was always equally unconventional, couldn't understand Suga Ai's thought process for a while.

Su Waai also looked puzzled and tilted her head, saying, "Wasn't Lord Jingu sad because he couldn't last long under the fox spirit's body?"

"That's not it!"

Why would you think I would harm him?

Why do you think I won't last long?

Almost in unison, the two exchanged a glance, then Tamamo-no-Mae quickly turned her head away. Shrine Maiden glared fiercely at the little shrine maiden in front of her and began to knead her hands roughly.

"How dare you doubt me? I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Just as the shrine maiden was easily under the sway of the shrine maiden, making her groan incessantly and grit her teeth to endure it, Kuga Hikaru finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Stop! Can't you see I'm still here? In broad daylight, do you have no shame at all?!"

He forcefully squeezed between the two, separating them. Hisako Hikaru's face turned bright red, even redder than Soga Ai's.

"Ai-chan, go cook! Don't be all lovey-dovey in front of me!"

"Even if you go, they still won't be all lovey-dovey in front of you."

Kuga Hikaru's response was a very cold and heartless remark from Suga Ai, so heartless that Kuga Hikaru almost burst into tears on the spot.

Is this what ten years of sisterhood looks like? It's so cold.

"Ai-chan, how could you do this? Aren't we like sisters?"

Su Woai brushed aside her slightly disheveled hair and said coldly, "But you were the one who insisted on coming back with me in the first place. If..."

"If you're not going to cook, then you're just coming along to freeload, aren't you?"

"At least... you can't let me go alone, can you?" Kuga Hikaru said pitifully.

"All the ingredients in the kitchen are already washed," Tamamo-no-Mae said with a smile, leaving Kuga Hikaru with no reason to refuse and instead pout as he went to cook.

After the troublesome guy was sent away, Soga Ai placed Jingu's head on her lap and gently pressed it with her fingertips, trying to soothe Jingu's mood.

"So, what's causing Lady Jingu's gloom?" Suga asked while massaging her.

The shrine maiden's nimble fingers and just-right pressure made the shrine maiden feel very comfortable, and her unpleasant mood dissipated considerably.
