Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

Since the gods can obtain ready-made shrines from the government for free, they naturally have responsibilities to bear. In the present era, the number of Onmyoji is decreasing, while the number of Yokai is increasing with the development of human society.

When the Bureau of Onmyōryō (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) can't handle all the cases, they will delegate them to the shrines, both large and small, which is also a way to build their reputation.

In the past, Hanayama Haru didn't dare to bring these exorcism requests assigned from above to the shrine. Now, with Chiyo's help, she has far fewer troubles. A couple of days ago, she had already handled several simple exorcism requests with Chiyo's help.

However, Chiyo is indeed a very useful tool. She can be ordered around at will and can also do some serious work. It's convenient that she doesn't die.

After all, the shrine's shrine master is a lazy bum, Hina is still a child, the young shrine maiden doesn't have much ability to handle exorcism requests, and the only capable one, the emperor, has gone on vacation.

Moreover, the Emperor's personality... I don't know if it's contagious, but he's just as willful as the Shrine, so he's really not suitable for commissions.

Chiyo, though a bit reckless and foolish, and not very pleasant to talk to, is essentially someone who listens to advice and has some skill. Working with her, Hanayama Inuharu doesn't feel too much pressure.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Wait!"

An unexpected sound came out, and Jingu's hand reached out from the door. Had he already woken up?

"That sounds interesting, include me."

"this..."

Hanayama Haru hesitated for a moment. To be honest, every time the shrine made a move, it was easy to cause a big commotion. She was under a lot of pressure. Others didn't dare to cause trouble for the shrine, but some people would take advantage of the situation to cause her trouble.

However, refusing Jingu was impossible, so after hesitating for a moment, Kazanin Haru decided to agree.

As soon as Hanayama Haru started the car, he heard Jingu's voice.

"By the way, who is this person next to you?"

Well, the Divine Palace didn't suddenly become diligent; he simply started using the Star Domain. It's not his fault; he had just broken his vow of celibacy and then abstained from all women for several days in a row, which was really difficult for him.

And coincidentally, the woman beside Hanayama Haru was such an object that it was hard not to be attracted to her.

Tall and slender, with a huge treasure chest, slender branches and abundant fruit, and a weak and frail air about her, she seemed very easy to bully and deceive.

"Forehead..."

Hanayama Haru glanced helplessly at the woman in the passenger seat, who smiled gently and spoke softly.

"I am Kujou Kaori, you can just call me Kaori, Lord Jingu."

It was a little different from what Jingu had expected. She thought he would be the submissive and weak type, but he turned out to be surprisingly cheerful, completely different from the dark type she had imagined.

"Lord Jingu, please do not strike up a conversation with my senior without permission. I will report this to Ai."

Having dealt with the shrine so many times, Kayama Inuharu wasn't completely without experience. At the very least, bringing up Soga in front of him could at least keep the shrine outwardly peaceful.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard the name of the little shrine maiden, the shrine maiden immediately pretended to look out the window and started whistling.

After the shrine quieted down, the car soon turned onto a less congested lane and headed towards the outskirts of Tokyo.

As they made their way to their destination, the woman named Xiangzi began to explain the whole story to Chiyo.

The destination was a manor in the mountains on the outskirts of Tokyo. It had been abandoned for many years, but the owner had a sudden idea to renovate it recently. The day after the renovation was completed, the owner hanged himself from a tree in the yard.

After the original owner died, the manor was auctioned off several times, but each new owner would hang himself on a tree the day after moving in. The Yin-Yang Bureau also sent people to try to deal with it, but without exception, the result was always the same: hanging.

Currently, this incident is considered a double-edged sword, showing no signs of harming more people and remaining shrouded in mystery, so it has been shelved until now.

However, Hanayama Haru had great confidence in Chiyo. Hanging? Let her hang, I'll even take her head off and play with her, as long as no one dies, it's convenient.

After explaining the details, the group arrived at their destination, a place located on the mountainside above a sea of ​​cherry blossoms, offering a direct view of the entire cherry blossom landscape. This was the location where the incident occurred.

The group got out of the car and looked at the manor in front of them, which seemed no different from any other manor.

However, a faint scent could still be smelled at the shrine, but it was a bit strange, probably because it had been mixed in with the sea of ​​cherry blossoms.

"Lord Jingu, and Miss Chiyo, I'm entrusting you with these matters."

Hanayama Haru and Kujo Kaori stood still; as ordinary Onmyoji, they didn't go in, as it could easily cause problems.

"Let's go!"

Chiyo was already impatient, while Jingu simply shrugged and said, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Chapter 70 Split up

Upon entering, one sees a huge cherry blossom tree planted in the courtyard.

However, it's already late spring, but the cherry blossoms outside are in full bloom, perhaps because of the altitude.

But the cherry blossoms in the courtyard were withered, leaving only bare branches with an empty rope hanging from them, as if waiting for someone to put their head in.

What is this? A portal to the world of anime?

Jingu was immediately amused. He blew on the rope, cut it, and handed it to Jingu.

He made up his mind that once he found the mastermind, he would use this thing to hang him up; he loved to give someone a taste of their own medicine.

"Such a big yard, should we split up and search?" Chiyo suggested.

"Okay, go inside and look for it. I'll wait for you here."

Jingu plopped down on a chair in the courtyard. Chiyo wasn't surprised to see his lazy demeanor, nor did she express any displeasure. She then went inside by herself.

Looking at the withered cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, the shrine maiden outside yawned and wondered if she should take a nap.

Springtime drowsiness, summer fatigue, and autumn lethargy are all normal occurrences for him, as he is still at an age where he is growing. As for safety, he has never considered such a question.

He didn't feel threatened by this mansion, or rather, so far the only thing that made him feel relatively strong was the presence of the unscrupulous capitalists, the Heavenly Bow Group; the others were still a bit lacking.

So, Jingu simply closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Meanwhile, was Chiyo, who was being used as a tool, actually looking for a target?

No, Chiyo was walking leisurely down the corridor with her hands in her pockets, occasionally kicking the closed door or kicking decorative items like balls, showing no sign of being serious.

Anyway, afterwards she said it was caused by fighting with a vengeful spirit. Chiyo is very thrifty and good at managing the household, but she also has a strong destructive desire. This kind of occasion where she doesn't have to take responsibility is perfect for her to vent.

As for finding someone? She never intended to find anyone in the first place. Two people came in, no, one person and one god. No matter how you look at it, the other party would choose the weaker one, which means Chiyo herself would probably be the one to attack.

After all, she was just an ordinary human being.

The kicked decoration rolled into the darkness at the end of the corridor, its echo lingering for a long time.

"Huh? Why are you asking this?"

The two waiting outside chatted about trivial matters when suddenly Xiangzi asked about the shrine.

"You wouldn't be..." Hanayama Haru hesitated for a moment. She wanted to say whether she had a hobby of running people over, since Kujo Kaori looked like a complete scoundrel no matter how you looked at it.

But when he thought about how he was also stunned by the beauty of the goddess when he first met her, and how she was becoming more and more alluring now, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"No, no, I'm just a little curious. After all, he's been quite famous lately, and the whole upper class in Tokyo is talking about him."

Kujo Kaori waved her hands repeatedly to prove that she had no other intentions.

"Well, I'm not really sure about that either, but I can tell you my own thoughts and understanding of him."

"Uh-huh."

Listening to Kayamain Haru complain about the Jingu's style and

As for her personality, Kujo Kaori pushed up her glasses, seemingly lost in thought.

"Tch, why isn't this guy coming out yet? Did he really go to find the shrine?"

Feeling a bit tired, Chiyo lay on the large bed in the mansion's bedroom. She wandered around the room, but didn't see anything unusual. Could it be that they had already run away?

Putting everything else aside, the beds these days are so soft, it feels like I'm going to sink right into them.

Chiyo's eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, an inexplicable drowsiness washed over her, and her head felt heavy.

Huh? When did a rope start hanging down from the roof beam?

With her eyes barely open, Chiyo groggily looked at the rope loop that had appeared on the headboard. How strange! But what was strange about it?

Chiyo reached for the rope loop at the head of the bed, and it sounded like someone was whispering in her ear.

"Sleep, just sleep like this."

"Is it painful? Is it tiring? Then go to sleep."

"Just put it around your neck and you can sleep forever."

"Eternal sleep is also a kind of beauty, while waking up does not necessarily bring happiness."

A faint voice echoed in Chiyo's ears, enticing her to put the rope around her neck.

"Eternal...sleep?"

Like a marionette, Chiyo murmured softly as she stepped onto the bed. With just one more step, the rope around her neck would tighten into the scythe of death.

"Indeed, eternal sleep is a beautiful silence, and death is a fascinating destination."

An old, kind voice gently guided the girl to take that final step.

"die?"

Chiyo's chaotic eyes cleared slightly, and her unsteady step froze in mid-air.

"You mean...death?!"

The old voice that had been trying to seduce the girl paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that someone would ask him a question in return.

"It hurts!"

Chiyo's next action was even more unexpected. She stuck her fingers together like a knife into her head, as if she were digging her hand into a watermelon, and started drilling hard.

“It hurts so much, it hurts so much!”

The splashed watermelon juice, carrying a strong fishy smell, instantly transformed what was initially just a somewhat bizarre scene into something quite gruesome.

"Ouch, that hurts, you bastard! But it's made me a little more awake. You finally showed up!"

Flames ignited along the girl's back, breaking through her thin clothes and scattering countless fire feathers. The originally dim room was illuminated by the firelight, and in the shadows, an old ghost dressed in black monk's robes floated in the corner of the room, holding a staff.

"They keep chattering in other people's ears, it's so noisy!"

Chiyo used the momentum of the bed to rush towards the old monk. Wherever her toes touched, flames quietly spread, and the entire luxurious wooden bed was ignited in the flames.

"what?"

The old monk seemed shocked by the girl's act of taking out the watermelon, and floated around, dodging the girl's attacks.
