But as one of only two owners of the shrine besides Akira Higashino when he was away, Akira Amamiya couldn't remain silent and could only ask dryly, "So, Ms. Miyamizu, is there something you need at Okumizome?"
Upon hearing this, Miyamizu Mitsuha, her face completely bewildered, grasped at the straw that held the key to breaking the deadlock and quickly explained:
"That's right. Recently, Lord Higashino ordered the construction of branch shrines of Unmu Shrine throughout Tokyo. A considerable number of priests are needed to be stationed in these branch shrines to perform important duties and spread the faith. Candidates will be selected from the main shrine first, with voluntary application as the main method. If there are not enough candidates in the end, they will be recruited and trained from the community."
"I'm here to be responsible for relaying work orders and compiling registration information."
Tokyo?
Wouldn't that allow us to get closer to the Ming Dynasty?
Kasugano Sora's pupils dilated slightly. She decisively switched sides, raising her small hand, "I'm in!"
Having already made a mistake once, she was determined to seize this opportunity; being in a good position meant she had a head start!
“I’m sorry.” Miyamizu Mitsuha shook her head. “Lord Higashino has ordered that underage shrine maidens should complete their studies locally first.”
Why didn't you say so earlier!
Kasugano Sora's face fell upon hearing this.
Other girls who originally wanted to go to big cities to broaden their horizons also gave up their restless thoughts.
So, if we calculate it that way, there are probably very few people in Yunmeng Shrine who meet the requirements to apply, right?
Seemingly sensing the girls' thoughts, Miyamizu Mitsuha added, "In addition, newly recruited shrine maidens will be arranged to come to the headquarters for adaptation training before the branch offices are established in various places, and you will guide them as seniors."
There are no benefits whatsoever, and I even have to do an extra job?
Those nasty women from Tokyo are so annoying!
Discussions are ongoing regarding the details and follow-up plans for this arrangement.
Faced with Akira Higashino's arrangements, even though everyone disliked this wicked woman who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and run away, they could only cooperate with the arrangements.
.........
Tokyo.
Strange House.
The door slammed shut, and the urban legends who were sitting in the living room playing games, watching videos, and coding all looked up.
"Has your takeout arrived?"
The human-faced dog decisively put down its phone, abandoned the "Cloud Dreamland" game it was about to lose, and ran towards the door.
The already disadvantageous match became even more precarious. Seeing the human-faced dog character controlled by the human-faced dog stand still and not move, Hanako instantly lost her temper.
"You should guard the crystal first, you idiot!"
As the final base crystal was mercilessly shattered by the opposing team, a page popped up announcing the loss of the match. Hanako angrily slammed her phone onto the sofa and frantically scratched her head.
Do you even know how to play?! Do you even know how to play?!
Blanch!
Are these guys pigs?
She finally managed to get to Gold, but now she's dropped back to Silver!
And those guys on the other side, do they even know what it means to stop when you've made a move?
All they do all day is play dirty tricks, always ambushing in the bushes or using elaborate schemes. They have no sense of martial ethics!
Ugh, I want to destroy humanity!!!
"Hey, come look at this!"
From the direction of the entrance hall came the somewhat unsure voice of the human-faced dog.
What's so interesting about picking up takeout?
With a flushed face, Hanako walked over there in a huff. The Slit-Mouthed Woman and the others, having lost most of the day, had completely lost their desire to play and turned off their phones with deathly pale faces as they followed.
When the urban legends reached the entrance, they were stunned. They saw that it was still drizzling outside, and under the eaves of their doorway...
A woman with burgundy hair, who was drunk and carrying a bottle of liquor, reeking of alcohol, and whose thin green dress was mostly soaked, was lying there.
Judging from her posture, she was originally leaning against the door, but as the door opened, she casually lay half of her body into their entryway.
Who is this?
"do not know."
"You reek of alcohol, you stink!"
"Then let's ignore her and just throw her out." Seeing that no one recognized her, Hanako took the initiative and used her telekinesis to lift the drunkard up and float her in mid-air, drifting her away.
Seeing this, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who had been silent all along, felt a surge of anxiety and subconsciously spoke up, "Wait a minute!"
…………

P.S.: 4,000+ words, two chapters combined. I've been having some writer's block lately. Even the most internet-savvy Cyber Dung Beetle in the group hasn't been doing much lately, so I haven't seen any interesting jokes or strange stories. I'm lacking inspiration. I'll get back into the swing of things and try to pick up the update frequency again later.
Chapter 254 You guys did this on purpose, didn't you!
"You know him?"
Hanako stopped using her telekinesis to move the drunkard and throw him out the door, turning back to look at the Slit-Mouthed Woman who had suddenly spoken.
Upon hearing this, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's expression became somewhat complicated. "Actually, we don't really know each other..."
Judging from what she said, there might be some hidden story behind this.
But Hanako didn't care about her nonsense. With a thought, she simply threw the wet, drunken woman towards the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
"Then you'll have to figure out how to handle it yourself."
After finishing, Hanako left those words behind and walked back into the house without looking back. Mary and the others exchanged glances and followed her inside.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman was left alone, holding a woman in her arms whose skin was pale and whose face was sickly red, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Especially when I saw the woman's wine-red hair, which was almost purple, I couldn't help but think of my own experience of being chased around by a little girl with purple hair and having to run away in a panic.
But... at least we've met.
Looking back now, it still seems strange, but this woman did indeed presumptuously and casually express concern for me…
Although I don't like this color.
In the end, the Slit-Mouthed Woman silently carried her back home.
She walked while silently holding her breath, turning her pretty face away.
It really stinks.
Just like last time, he reeked of alcohol!
Even with a mask on, you can still smell it.
Is this guy some kind of reincarnated alcoholic?
With a hint of disgust, the Slit-Mouthed Woman carried the nameless, unknown drunkard into the bathroom, ripped off her wet sundress, tossed her into the washing machine, filled the bathtub with hot water, and then threw her inside.
Consider it a way of giving back to the fleeting moment of emotion that happened during my most difficult time!
The slit-mouthed woman quickly cleaned and dried the guy, then carried the naked woman into her bedroom, threw the drunkard onto the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
Back in the living room, the takeout the human-faced dog had ordered had arrived sometime earlier, and those guys started eating without even waiting for her!
Although I'm not particularly fond of this food, this is just so disrespectful!
We're colleagues now, after all!
"All done? I saved dinner for you."
Hearing the noise, the human-faced dog turned around, smiled and waved at the slit-mouthed woman, pointing to the untouched sushi set meal that had been left on the table.
Upon hearing this, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's eyebrows curved into a smile.
She knew that people wouldn't be so heartless.
After all, we're all part of a family now!
"Ok!"
After eating and drinking their fill and enjoying some entertainment, it was almost time for everyone to rest in the evening. So, they all got up to take a bath and prepare for bed.
Since being recruited by that man, their lives have become increasingly stable. They no longer need to resort to intimidating humans to survive and become stronger. As a result, the lifestyle habits of these urban legends have gradually overlapped with those of humans.
Even if they don't need to rest or eat, let alone take a bath, you should know that in the past, the effect was better without the scary stuff. Sometimes they would even deliberately distort their image or dress up to be more bloody and terrifying.
But now, none of that is needed.
Having lived for a long time, we all become strange creatures with higher intelligence. Although human things are not essential to us, they are still important to us, whether it is the deliciousness of food, the comfort of taking a hot bath before bed, or the carefree experience of resting without having to work overtime and causing trouble.
They can feel it too.
All I can say is that although they are very unhappy with the wicked god who subdued the urban legends in a vulgar way and are full of rebellious words, they would definitely not be willing to give up their current lifestyle and return to the wild and eerie rhythm of their past lives.
It's easy to talk about, but it's hard to believe you've actually experienced it.
Given the choice between being a solitary, wild beast and having a government job with all the perks, the choice is obvious.
In the living room, the Slit-Mouthed Woman waited for her family members to finish their baths, casting expectant glances at them.
"By the way, my room is occupied by that woman. May I stay in your room tonight?"
The group looked at each other in silence.
After a while, the smile on the slit-mouthed woman's face froze, the expectation in her eyes faded, and she looked somewhat awkwardly at Hanako, the most assertive and reliable person in the family.
Seeing this, Hanako refused expressionlessly, "I always live alone and don't sleep with others. If you want to come, you can, but I might kill you unconsciously in my dream. After all, you're too weak. Without a weapon, you can't even withstand a casual move from me."
Upon hearing this, the Slit-Mouthed Woman silently shifted her gaze to the others.
In this regard.
Meiyou gently shook her head, "I still have to do a live stream, so I won't be able to rest for a while and it's not convenient for us to live together."
Mary quietly shut her mouth, not uttering a word, showing no inclination to agree. After all, there were too many details in her room that were inconvenient for outsiders to see. If Hanako and the others found out, even if they didn't consider her a traitor, in everyone's eyes she would only be a pervert whose mind was twisted by sexual activity and who eventually fell in love with a sadistic god.
