Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

The bizarre and unusual scene did not reassure people; instead, it only made them fear that an even more terrifying tsunami might strike.

However, the shrine didn't care what they thought. He quelled the tsunami on a whim, acting ruthlessly while also doing good according to his conscience.

After easily calming the tsunami, the shrine prepared to use its new ability to deal with the giant catfish underground, even though the emperor's attack had already released most of the earthquake.

However, the giant catfish still has some strength left, and before it can drive the new keystone into the Mingju clan's territory, it will likely continue to cause aftershocks.

Although it's not a big problem, I'll just treat it as an opportunity to test out a new skill.

Jingu tried using his ability, and unlike the catfish's pure power of natural disasters, Jingu's ability was more versatility and creativity, although it could also trigger natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

But it leans more towards manipulating and influencing the terrain, even including the ability to manipulate the fertility of the land.

After channeling the remaining power of the giant catfish, the power was directed to the ground beneath their feet. The turbulent force that had torn apart the earth's tectonic plates became a plaything in their hands. Using this, the shrine managed to raise the entire Takao Mountain by more than ten meters.

"What the hell did you do to my Takaoyama?"

When Iizuna Maru landed on the ground, the first thing she wanted to do was rush up and ask for clarification. In a sense, she was also a mountain god of Mount Takao, although she did not have the attributes of a mountain god.

"What's the rush? I'll pull yours next time."

Jingu rolled her eyes at her and then ignored her, turning her attention to Suo Ai who was walking towards her.

Without saying a word, Suga Ai extended her hand directly towards the shrine.

"Huh? What do you want to do with loving you?" Jingu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Gifts should include love."

Su Wo'ai glanced at the sword the emperor was holding, her meaning clear.

"Tsk... You love me but don't really have any particular favorite things, so what gift should I give you?"

The reason she was given to the Emperor was because she was completely naked and had nothing left. The Shrine felt that such a gift still had meaning, but if it were given to Suga Ai...

"I love Lord Jingu".

Suga Ai wasn't really throwing a tantrum, trying to get the shrine to give her a gift at this moment. It was just a little trick of the young girl. If she remained silent in this situation, her presence would be slowly replaced by the newcomers.

So after she said these very straightforward words, the shrine immediately understood her thoughts and affectionately rubbed the girl's face.

"Alright, alright, I'll make it up to you next time I find something suitable."

The emperor was struck by the sight of the two being so intimate, and a strange feeling welled up inside him—a slight pang of sadness mixed with a touch of envy.

Not knowing how to react, the emperor could only hug his sword tightly and tighten his clothes, feeling a little cold.

"Alright, let's go back first." Shrine lowered her hand.

He said to the group.

"Your Majesty, what are you still standing there for? Let's go."

Turning around, he saw the emperor still standing in the same spot, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Where?"

"Of course we'll go to my shrine. You're my shrine maiden now."

Jingu reached out and took the girl's hand in his, one in each hand, just right.

New gods, new names, and... a new life.

The Emperor? What a simple name, as casual as picking up a stray cat or dog from the street. And such a hasty decision, without any careful consideration? Where is the frankness and nonchalance after intense internal struggle?

Without even discerning the girl's true feelings, he forcibly bound her to himself and went about doing things he thought were good.

That's too hasty! That's too much! They wouldn't even let me think about it! They didn't even give me time to hesitate! It makes her seem so careless and casual. Couldn't they have been a little more romantic? A little more captivating?

I'm furious! How can anyone be satisfied with this? And he's already being so intimate with other girls right after signing the contract. Even if they're seniors, he shouldn't be doing this, right? This is supposed to be my turn, and this unauthorized attention-grabbing is so cunning!

However, I felt no anger, only envy and a sense of peace.

Perhaps... this isn't so bad?

The emperor silently clenched his fist. The feeling of being led like this was truly strange. He felt restricted, unable to escape even if he wanted to, but it was also very warm.

"Oh, right, the Shrine."

Just as the emperor's mind was filled with various thoughts, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze swept over the emperor before turning to the shrine.

"You could have easily used your transformation magic to give her a new set of clothes, so why did you make her wear only your coat?"

The emperor, who had been naked, froze instantly, as did the shrine's smile.

"You wouldn't be doing this on purpose, would you?" A mischievous smile crept across Tamamo-no-Mae's lips.

"No, what am I supposed to see if it's so flat?" Jingu tried his best to argue, but a murderous intent was brewing behind his back.

"Go to hell!"

"The matter has been resolved satisfactorily, so what are you still doing here?"

Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Tengu looked at the woman in front of him with some displeasure.

"Here?" Hachigoshi Kaneshiro put down his teacup expressionlessly.

"Isn't the name of Suohiko Namikaze mostly mine now? This shrine should be mine, right? I just didn't want you to wander around, so I'm giving it to you for now."

"You woman, you have such a sharp tongue. Watch out, you might get beaten up someday."

Knowing he couldn't win an argument, Tian Gong Ji Xian could only utter this harsh remark, humming in response.

"You don't need to worry about that. Have you read this newspaper?"

The other party pushed a newspaper towards them; the logo of the Tengu Newspaper was clearly visible. Tengu Jixian glanced at it only briefly before mocking:

"What? You believe the reports of this third-rate, unscrupulous media?"

"Although most of it is just sensationalism, the content is still the real truth, and that's what I'm interested in."

Ba Yijian pointed to a spot on the newspaper.

"How could someone who has been dead for over a thousand years have such a well-preserved body? Or is it some kind of extraordinary encounter with the Shadow Ghost?"

Tian Gong Ji Xian shrugged, looking like he was giving up.

"Asking me about this is useless. Why don't you come and visit me in person?"

"No need. Since you don't know, that's fine. I have my own ways of investigating."

Ba Yisijian stood up, preparing to leave, when he heard Tian Gongji's merciless mocking voice behind him.

"Hahaha! You rascal, you don't know what you're doing, you're just obsessed with saving face."

"Shut up!"

Chapter 53 First Experience

I want to go on a trip!

The still-sleepy Jingu was abruptly shaken off the bed by the girl, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at the person in front of her.

She wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a black ribbon tied into a bow at the neckline, and her blue skirt, which had previously been a long skirt, was now a knee-length skirt.

Her long blue hair was tied in a ponytail, she wore a small black hat, tall boots, and lace over-the-knee stockings that covered her slender legs.

Her entire appearance and mental state were completely different from before, radiating youthful vitality, and the mysterious feeling she used to have vanished.

"Your Majesty, why are you waking me up so early?"

The truth is, the sun is already high in the sky, Su Woai has gone to school, even the lazy fox has begun to look for today's spiritual nourishment, and the emperor got up very early.

Of all the shrines, only the shrine shrine maintains a nocturnal lifestyle, sleeping late and waking up late.

"I want to travel the world!"

The emperor's words instantly woke up the shrine maiden who was still half asleep, and she sat up abruptly.

The girl was already dressed neatly, with a long sword given to her by the shrine at her waist and a small suitcase at her feet, indicating that she was determined to leave.

"Why? Why do you suddenly want to travel the world?"

Out of caution, Jingu felt he needed to ask, since everything had been fine all this time, more than half a month since the Tokyo earthquake.

During this time, the emperor gradually adapted to his new life and became more straightforward than before, although he was still sometimes a bit eccentric.

"It's not surprising at all! I've always thought this way—to see the world and experience more interesting things."

The Empress tucked her long hair behind her ear; her hair was the longest among the beautiful girls around the shrine, reaching down to her hips even when tied in a high ponytail.

"I've been living at the shrine for so long, I can't stand it anymore, I want to go on a trip!"

"Okay, okay, let's go on a trip then. It's not like I'm against it. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Jingu scratched his head. He wasn't the kind of person who was pretentious and liked to keep everyone tied to his side.

"But where are you going? You need to have a plan, right?"

"No~" The girl suddenly grabbed Jingu's shoulder, climbed onto the bed, and pushed Jingu down.

"I didn't have any plans at all. I just wanted to go out and see the world. I hadn't thought about where to go or when to come back."

The girl's eyes sparkled as she stared at the shrine maiden. Her sudden action left the shrine maiden somewhat bewildered by her intentions.

"Go wherever you want to see, and come back whenever you get tired of it, do you understand?"

Understand? What do I understand? Shrine was a little confused.

"Hmph!" The girl pressed down, biting the mouth of the god, teasing him with her tongue a few times, and quickly got up before the god could take the initiative.

I might like you a little.

"What?!" The shrine was caught off guard.

"It's just a possibility!"

The girl jumped off the bed, straightened her skirt, and turned around to say, "Although I am your shrine maiden now, you can't force me to think for myself."

"I need to go out and see the world. Staying by your side all the time is useless; only by seeing it can I truly understand."

Only when I encounter more beautiful things will I truly understand my own feelings.
